Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

Nine o'clock in the morning, in the suite's living room.

Chen Ye sat at the dining table, with the hotel breakfast laid out in front of him.

Millet porridge, fried eggs, steamed buns, and two cups of hangover tea on the side.

An Ran and Zhang Lingxi each occupied one end of the sofa.

The space in the middle is large enough for three more judges to sit down.

Chen Ye glanced at them.

"Have a meal."

An Ran held the bowl, her eyes still scanning back and forth over Zhang Lingxi.

Zhang Lingxi, holding the hangover tea, wasn't in much better shape than her.

The two were clearly less capable of fighting after a hangover, but their tempers hadn't subsided at all.

Chen Ye picked up a steamed bun and took a bite when An Ran suddenly put the bowl down.

"Chen Ye, I think some rules must be established."

Chen Ye paused.

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

Zhang Lingxi immediately raised her head.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Anran pulled a neatly folded piece of paper from her bag.

She slammed the paper on the table and pushed it directly in front of Zhang Lingxi.

"Signed."

Zhang Lingxi looked down and her expression immediately changed.

Four large characters were written on the paper.

Accommodation Behavior Agreement.

There are three more below.

First, no nighttime raids on the master bedroom are allowed.

Second, one must not use drunkenness as an excuse to steal from someone's home.

Third, one must not wear revealing clothing.

After reading it, Zhang Lingxi's ears turned bright red.

"An Ran, are you sick in the head?!"

An Ran crossed her arms and gave a cold laugh.

"This is a reasonable precaution against risk."

"If Chen Ye hadn't had such high standards last night..."

This morning, am I supposed to hear you explain why being drunk and out of control doesn't count?

Zhang Lingxi was so angry that she stood up abruptly.

"I told you, I blacked out!"

"A blackout is not a get-out-of-jail-free card."

An Ran pushed the pen in front of her.

"Signature is fine, or you can leave your fingerprint if you're not comfortable with that."

Zhang Lingxi stared at the paper for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and rummaged through her bag.

An Ran immediately stared at her warily.

"What are you looking for? You're not thinking of using evidence to countersue me, are you?"

"I really need to get the evidence."

Zhang Lingxi pulled out a hotel notepad, picked up a pen, and started writing furiously.

Seeing her like this, Chen Ye suddenly felt that his breakfast didn't taste good anymore.

A minute later, Zhang Lingxi slapped the note in front of An Ran.

"You sign it too."

An Ran looked down.

The note reads.

Enron’s Restrictions on Conduct Supplemental Terms.

First, you must not deliberately force someone to drink alcohol.

Second, one must not feign weakness to monopolize resources for care.

Third, she must not claim to be Chen Ye's girlfriend and forcibly control his schedule.

An Ran's eyes widened. "When did I pretend to be weak?"

Zhang Lingxi glanced at her. "Who was it last night who kept clutching their back after just a few steps?"

An Ran almost choked on her words.

"That's a hangover!"

Zhang Lingxi sneered, "You didn't drink much at all yesterday."

An Ran suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Ye.

"Chen Ye, say something!"

Zhang Lingxi also handed over the pen.

"Attorney Chen, you can also be a witness."

Chen Ye glanced at An Ran on his left, then at Zhang Lingxi on his right.

He finally understood that this was not about setting rules at all.

This is like putting him on a table as an offering.

An Ran pushed her agreement forward.

"You sign mine first."

Zhang Lingxi immediately pressed the sticky note down.

"Sign mine first."

An Ran disagreed, saying, "Mine is more important."

Zhang Lingxi immediately retorted, "Your claims are all personal grudges."

An Ran gave a cold laugh.

"You kissed me last night, and now you're talking to me about personal grudges?"

Zhang Lingxi's face flushed. "I was drunk!"

"Then my drinking is just normal social interaction before I get drunk."

"That was premeditated!"

"You were also on the operation last night!"

Chen Ye put down the steamed bun and reached for the two pieces of paper.

The two of them shut up at the same time and looked at him simultaneously.

Chen Ye read both agreements from beginning to end.

An Ran looked on with anticipation, and Zhang Lingxi held her breath.

The next second, Chen Ye tore it apart with both hands.

With a ripping sound.

The two agreements were immediately split into four.

An Ran was stunned.

Zhang Lingxi was also dumbfounded.

"Chen Ye!"

Chen Ye threw the shredded paper into the trash can.

"What you two wrote is very unprofessional."

An Ran slammed her hand on the table in anger, "That's not the point!"

Chen Ye picked up a hotel notepad and slowly began to write.

"If we're going to set rules, let's set rules that are enforceable."

Zhang Lingxi craned her neck to look over.

"What are you writing?"

Chen Ye ignored her and continued to move the pen tip across the paper.

A few lines of text quickly appeared on the sticky note.

Temporary Ceasefire Agreement.

First, before returning home, neither party shall provoke the other, speak sarcastically, or bring up past grievances.

Second, whoever started the trouble must write a 30,000-word case review.

Third, the review includes five parts: factual summary, evidence list, trial strategy, public opinion rhythm, and risk of losing the case.

Fourth, write it by hand ten times; do not copy or paste, and do not seek outside help.

An Ran turned pale after reading it.

"You call this an agreement?"

Chen Ye nodded.

"right."

Zhang Lingxi also became anxious.

"Thirty thousand words, repeated ten times, that's three hundred thousand words!"

Chen Ye added, "You're good at math."

An Ran went completely berserk on the spot, "These are way worse than my three!"

Chen Ye looked at her and said, "Don't you like setting rules? I'll grant your wish."

Zhang Lingxi was unconvinced.

"But that's not fair!"

"fair enough."

Chen Ye put down his pen. "Whoever causes trouble writes it; if you don't cause trouble, nothing will happen."

An Ran immediately pointed at Zhang Lingxi, "She definitely started the trouble first."

Zhang Lingxi immediately retorted, "You're the one who started the trouble."

Chen Ye picked up his pen again and added a line at the end.

"Supplementary clause: Repeat offenders are responsible for compiling all materials related to the Tianda complaint case."

The living room fell silent instantly, and Anran's hand froze in mid-air.

Zhang Lingxi immediately shut her mouth.

They had all heard the materials related to the Tianda whistleblower case yesterday.

Online troll accounts, forged chat logs, bar association complaints, fund flows, lawyer's letters, and platform evidence collection.

Just hearing these names is enough to send chills down your spine.

Chen Ye looked up at them.

"Any further comments?"

An Ran lowered her head and drank her porridge. "No."

Zhang Lingxi also picked up a steamed bun, saying, "I think this agreement is very reasonable."

Chen Ye pushed the pen in front of them.

"signature."

After hesitating for a long time, An Ran finally signed her name on the sticky note.

Zhang Lingxi glanced at An Ran and then signed as well.

Chen Ye picked up the note and blew on the ink.

"The ceasefire agreement takes effect immediately."

An Ran muttered under her breath, "You're just using work to pressure me."

Chen Ye folded the note and put it into his file bag.

"How can a lawyer's actions be considered oppression?"

Zhang Lingxi couldn't help but complain.

"What's it called?"

"It's called risk prevention and control."

An Ran rolled her eyes. "You should quit being a lawyer and go open a shady factory instead."

Just as Chen Ye was about to retort, the doorbell rang.

All three looked towards the door at the same time, and Chen Ye got up to open it.

Standing outside the door was Xiao Tang, the hotel receptionist, holding a small ticket holder and a stack of receipts.

"Mr. Chen, excuse me, I'm here to check the check-out information."

Xiao Tang looks to be in his early twenties, and his smile is very professional.

Chen Ye stepped aside to let her in.

"Come in."

Xiao Tang walked into the living room, just about to check the room fee.

I noticed a corner of a note on the dining table that hadn't been completely folded up yet.

Her gaze swept over the area unconsciously.

"No nighttime raids on the master bedroom..."

Her voice froze instantly.

An Ran reacted quickly, snatching the note and tucking it under her bag.

Zhang Lingxi's face flushed red instantly.

"It's not what you think; it's just work discipline."

Xiao Tang tried her best to maintain a professional expression.

"I understand, I understand, our esteemed guests have their own management style."

An Ran almost died on the spot.

"You don't understand!"

Xiao Tang nodded even faster, "I don't understand, I didn't see anything."

Chen Ye remained remarkably calm.

"Issue an invoice."

Xiao Tang immediately got to work.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, the room rate is 3,888, and the total for dining and other expenses is 632."

Upon hearing the number, An Ran immediately forgot her embarrassment.

"Six hundred and thirty-two? Didn't we have hotel breakfast yesterday?"

Zhang Lingxi also looked over, "Is there anything else to pay for?"

Xiao Tang flipped through the list.

"Last night, the housekeeping department provided hangover tea twice, and there was also an extra towel cleaning fee."

An Ran looked at Zhang Lingxi, and Zhang Lingxi looked at An Ran.

Chen Ye calmly interjected, "When you start a company, you should raise your head."

An Ran immediately sat up straight.

"Yes, it's on public funds."

Xiao Tang suppressed a laugh and entered the invoice information.

"Is the address still Juncheng Law Firm?"

Chen Ye reported his tax number.

While Xiao Tang was printing the invoices, An Ran quietly moved her bag closer to herself.

Zhang Lingxi whispered a reminder.

"The corner of the agreement has been revealed."

An Ran quickly pressed it down again.

Xiao Tang handed the invoice to Chen Ye.

"Mr. Chen, the invoice and bill are here. You can check out before noon tomorrow."

Chen Ye took the invoice.

"Hard."

As Xiao Tang walked to the door, he couldn't help but look back one last time.

"Please rest assured, our hotel places great importance on guest privacy."

After the door closed, the living room was silent for a full two seconds.

An Ran covered her face.

"It's over."

Zhang Lingxi sat back down on the sofa. "She must have misunderstood."

Chen Ye put the invoice into the file bag.

"What misunderstanding? We haven't broken any laws."

An Ran looked up and glared at him.

"The problem is, she saw those words!"

Chen Ye remained calm.

"So I asked her to issue an invoice to distract her."

Zhang Lingxi looked at him.

"You're like a professional rescue team at a social disaster scene."

Just as Chen Ye was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.

The name Liu Huan popped up on the screen.

An Ran and Zhang Lingxi stopped fighting instantly.

Chen Ye answered the call and casually put it on speakerphone.

Liu Huan's voice came through the phone.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Chen Ye glanced at the unfinished game on the table.

"almost."

Liu Huan chuckled softly.

"I'll be back soon. It's not over with Tianda yet. The Bar Association needs you to personally submit the supplementary materials."

An Ran immediately moved closer.

"Mr. Liu, didn't the other party already fail?"

Liu Huan paused upon hearing her voice.

"A rollover doesn't mean certain death."

Zhang Lingxi also became serious.

What additional materials are required?

Liu Huan said: "Original video of the case filing hall and screenshots of Wang Hai's public long article."

The principal's recorded submission transcript, along with the timeline you compiled over the past two days in Qingwan.

Chen Ye glanced at the two women.

"Did you hear me? Stop arguing, we still need to submit the documents."

There was a moment of silence on Liu Huan's end, then her tone suddenly became somewhat dangerous.

"Chen Ye".

Chen Ye's eyelids twitched.

"Boss, what is it?"

Liu Huan said slowly, "No need to go back to the law firm."

An Ran and Zhang Lingxi both looked at Chen Ye.

Liu Huan continued, "After you get off the bus tomorrow, come straight to my house."

Chen Ye's lips twitched. "What would I do at your house?"

Liu Huan smiled. "A separate report."

"Remember to bring the receipts. I want to see where the money went on this publicly funded trip."

The phone hangs up.

Chen Ye held his phone and remained silent for two seconds.

An Ran spoke softly.

"A separate report?"

Zhang Lingxi also looked at him.

"Going home again?"

Chen Ye put his phone away and picked up the ceasefire agreement on the table.

Just a reminder, the agreement is now in effect.

An Ran shut up, and Zhang Lingxi shut up too.

Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction.

"very good."

He picked up the steamed bun and took another bite.

"Now that's what a team should be like."
