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

Qin Kexin's efficiency is astonishing.

In less than ten minutes, a sharply worded and menacing draft of a counterclaim was already on the printer.

She held the still-warm paper in both hands and carefully handed it to Chen Ye.

That focus and anticipation was exactly like that of a top student waiting for the teacher to correct their homework.

Chen Ye took it.

He did not read it word by word like ordinary people.

His gaze swept across the paper quickly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

In that instant, that strange feeling resurfaced.

The original owner's instinctive legal knowledge and defense experience automatically activated in his mind.

He wasn't "reading" and "understanding"; he was "proofreading" and "optimizing".

This counterclaim is very well written and extremely aggressive.

But in his "instinct," it wasn't ruthless enough, nor fast enough.

Chen Ye's finger lightly tapped a spot in the middle of the document.

"This one won't work."

"The burden of proof in cases of 'commercial defamation' is too heavy, the process is lengthy, and it is easy to get bogged down in a protracted battle."

We need to wage a blitzkrieg, a decisive and fatal strike.

Qin Kexin quickly leaned over and looked in the direction he was pointing, her face full of confusion.

Chen Ye's fingers didn't move away; his fingernails tapped lightly on the phrase.

"Change it to 'crime of infringing on business reputation and product reputation'."

"We will not pursue civil litigation; we will directly initiate criminal self-prosecution proceedings."

"Drag those few homeowner representatives who were most vocal in their opposition directly into the quagmire of a criminal case."

"Let them explain to the judge and prosecutor themselves how this internal memo came about."

boom!

It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Qin Kexin's mind.

Daigo empowerment!

What started as a civil dispute has escalated directly into criminal charges!

This is no longer a simple legal tactic; it's a blatant scheme to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

Instead of getting entangled in the issue of compensation for the unfinished building, we'll cut off your supply chain from the root.

They'll attack the legitimacy of your evidence and put you in the dock!

That move was too vicious! And too brilliant!

She looked at Chen Ye's profile, his already bright and beautiful eyes sparkling.

At this moment, it almost burst forth with an unusual brilliance.

This person is a monster!

A devil she willingly worshipped!

The atmosphere in the office changed slightly as the two got closer.

Qin Kexin could clearly smell the faint masculine scent emanating from Chen Ye.

Her breathing unconsciously became warm.

"Attorney Chen..."

She couldn't help but ask in a barely audible voice.

"You look so different today..."

"You...you never used to be like this..."

Chen Ye was once a top expert in the industry.

But it's more like a machine, always calm, always rational, and always maintaining just the right distance.

It will never be as aggressive as it is today.

Its sharp edge was fully revealed, even... carrying a hint of evil.

Chen Ye felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

coming.

The most devastating criticism comes from those closest to you.

He can no longer use "hangover" or any other excuse to brush it off.

Chen Ye stopped pointing at the document and slowly turned his head.

He looked directly into Qin Kexin's eyes, which were filled with confusion and infatuation.

I did not answer her question.

Instead, he laughed.

A smile that is sinister to the core.

"What's wrong?"

"dislike?"

Before Qin Kexin could react, Chen Ye suddenly moved.

He reached out, grabbed Qin Kexin's wrist, and pulled her sharply towards himself.

"what!"

Qin Kexin let out a short gasp and lost her balance.

She crashed solidly into his broad arms.

The edge of the desk was digging into her side, causing a sharp pain, but she didn't care at all.

The man's presence enveloped her completely.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and her cheeks became visibly hot.

Chen Ye lowered his head.

His lips almost touched Qin Kexin's small, delicate earlobe.

He spoke slowly in a magnetic voice:

"Maybe it's because of the divorce that he's in a good mood."

"Or perhaps..."

He paused deliberately, feeling the delicate body in his arms tremble slightly with nervousness.

Suddenly, I realized that my assistant was... more alluring than I had imagined.

This blatant flirtation was like an electric shock.

It instantly shattered Qin Kexin's last line of psychological defense.

The questions, confusion, and unease that had just begun to surface in her mind.

In an instant, he was overwhelmed and swallowed up by an even more surging and scalding tide of passion.

She trembled and slowly closed her eyes.

Those hands that were originally placed at her sides to defend herself.

She unconsciously raised her head slowly and wrapped her arms around Chen Ye's neck.

The air in the office became ambiguous at that moment.

Just a second before their lips were about to touch.

"Click".

The office doorknob made a very slight turning sound.

Accompanied by the subtle friction of the door being silently pushed open from the outside.

In that instant, Qin Kexin's reaction was incredibly fast.

She practically sprang from Chen Ye's embrace.

He took two steps back, quickly creating a safe distance of more than one meter.

She lowered her head, frantically straightening her slightly disheveled clothes and hair.

The flush had spread from her cheeks all the way to her fair ears.

That move was so practiced.

Their skill was so adept it was almost heartbreaking.

Chen Ye watched her almost reflexive movements and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

[That bastard of an original owner must have been causing trouble in the office quite a bit; he's practically trained people to have a stress response.]

He remained calm and composed, still sitting steadily in Qin Kexin's boss's chair.

It was as if the person who had just tried to forcibly kiss his assistant wasn't him at all.

A striking figure was leaning lazily against the doorframe.

Her long, wavy, wine-red hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

The well-tailored Chanel business suit perfectly accentuated her almost explosive S-shaped curves.

She didn't look at Qin Kexin, who was standing helplessly beside her.

A pair of fox-like, alluring eyes, with a half-smile, were fixed on the composed Chen Ye.

"Attorney Chen, you seem very enthusiastic about your work."

The woman spoke, her unique voice a languid hue with just the right amount of huskiness.

Each word is like a feather, gently scratching at the tip of one's heart.

"Is he working closely with his assistant to discuss the afternoon's courtroom strategy?"

Is such... close guidance necessary?

It's incredibly ironic.

The moment Chen Ye heard that voice, his mind went blank.

It's her!

This morning, on the phone, I heard that sickeningly sweet little vixen!

The law firm's owner, his direct superior, is Liu Huan!

Although the flirtatious tone in his voice had been toned down from the one he used on the phone.

But that queenly air of having everything under control is exactly the same.

Liu Huan walked in gracefully, wearing a pair of high heels.

He completely ignored Qin Kexin next to him and walked straight to Chen Ye's desk.

She casually picked up the draft of the counterclaim that Chen Ye had "corrected" and glanced at it.

"Countersuit? That's ruthless, just like your usual style."

Liu Huan casually tossed the document back onto the table.

Immediately, she made a move that made Qin Kexin's face turn pale instantly.

She leaned down and placed her hands on the armrests of Chen Ye's chair.

This completely trapped Chen Ye between himself and the back of the chair.

The scent of perfume and her own body fragrance wafted towards him, and her full breasts were almost touching Chen Ye's face.

A strong sense of aggressive oppression instantly enveloped Chen Ye.

"but,"

Liu Huan's tone suddenly turned cold, and her previously smiling, alluring eyes now revealed a hint of danger.

"Before we play savior in court, shouldn't we take stock of another matter?"

"For example, what about you standing me up last night?"

She slowly straightened up, regaining her superior posture.

Looking at Chen Ye, who was trapped in the chair.

"You know, I hate it when people are not punctual."

Liu Huan turned around and looked at Qin Kexin, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end.

Then, she gave Chen Ye the final instructions.

"Tonight at 8 PM, at the usual place, 'Yujing Pavilion'."

You'd better prepare an explanation that will satisfy me.

She walked to the door, placed her slender fingers on the doorknob, and turned back.

He added one last sentence to the man and woman in the office.

"Oh, right, Kexin."

"Keep an eye on our star lawyer before the court hearing this afternoon."

"Don't let him waste his energy on things he shouldn't."
