Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"No, no, I didn't. Don't frame me. Don't try to pin this on me. I'll sue you for defamation!" Chen Shuyuan said in a flustered manner.

"Is that so?" Ye Chen smiled, took the phone from the police officer, and opened the chat history between Chen Shuyuan and Xiao Guo.

However, the room was empty; there wasn't a single message exchanged between the two.

Xiao Guo and Chen Shuyuan have a pretty good relationship, and they're also colleagues, so it's impossible that they haven't exchanged a single message.

Therefore, Ye Chen concluded that Chen Shuyuan had directly deleted the chat.

Ye Chen then searched his contacts for the keyword "technology," and sure enough, a dark horse technology company popped up!

People in this industry always like to call themselves experts in some kind of technology.

Ye Chen had seen this before.

What's more, Ye Chen had heard of this dark horse technology before, and it seems that he was the one who recommended it to Xiao Guo.

Ye Chen opened the chat interface between Chen Shuyuan and Black Horse Technology, but it was still a blank chat page.

Ye Chen held his phone up to Chen Shuyuan's face: "Hehe! Interesting. You deleted the chat history, but you didn't delete this payment notification message!"

Ye Chen looked at the technical officer beside him: "Officer, can the chat history be recovered?"

"No problem, it will be fully recovered in 15 minutes!" the technical officer immediately replied.

Ye Chen handed his phone to the technical officer: "Recover her recently deleted chat history, and the truth should come out!"

Chen Shuyuan was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning!

"No, no, you can't touch my phone! It's my privacy! I'm going to sue you!"

Ye Chen scoffed, "Chen Shuyuan, you should think about how you're going to explain yourself first. The evidence of your crime is coming soon; turning yourself in now might get you a lighter sentence!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen opened his phone and showed it to the police officer next to him, revealing his chat interface with Chen Shuyuan.

"Officer, I just received a blackmail message. Now I think this woman is trying to extort 100 million yuan from me through public opinion!"

Police officers immediately took photos of Ye Chen's phone chat page as evidence.

The lead officer stared coldly at Chen Shuyuan: "Madam, do you choose to confess voluntarily, or will we hand you over to the court after we've collected all the evidence?"

Chen Shuyuan was already stunned by this series of combined punches.

The chat logs are all in the company's big database, so recovering them shouldn't be difficult!

It wasn't difficult for anyone present, at least.

Since her phone was taken away, Chen Shuyuan no longer harbored any illusions.

How did her demand for a breakup fee from Ye Chen become extortion in Ye Chen's eyes?

How could this happen?

She just didn't like Ye Chen and wanted to vent her anger by badmouthing him.

How did things turn out this way?

Five years? No, no, that won't do!

How could it be so serious? It's just hired online trolls stirring up trouble, how could it be this serious?

Could Ye Chen be bluffing her?

How could such a small matter warrant such a long sentence?

"Ye Chen, don't scare me. It's not as serious as you say!" Chen Shuyuan tried to remain calm.

Ye Chen sneered: "Do you really think this is a minor incident? That saying sorry is enough? Do you know how many viewers are watching the live stream? At least hundreds of thousands of people are online. This is a serious disruption of normal social order, not just the crime of provoking trouble."

"Your actions have caused immense damage and distress to both the school's reputation and my personal standing, constituting defamation!"

"Five years? Haha, five years is considered lenient!"

"If you include the 100 million you extorted from me, the amount you've extorted is already exceptionally large, you know? Combined with your previous two demands, 10 years wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"You're so ignorant about the law! I suggest you find a lawyer and wait for the court hearing!"

Ye Chen's words dealt Chen Shuyuan the final blow!

This broke down Chen Shuyuan's last psychological defenses.

10 years? How many decades does a person have?

She can't go in; she's still a girl. If she goes in, everything will be ruined.

Chen Shuyuan shook her head repeatedly, her face pale.

"I...I didn't blackmail you, no, I didn't do it, no..."

At this moment, her brain was almost completely shut down. Even if she had an IQ of 250, she could only utilize half of that IQ.

Zhang Zihao had by then realized what was happening and understood the general situation.

I never imagined that Chen Shuyuan would do something so outrageous behind his back. Ignorance is bliss!

His wedding date with Chen Shuyuan was fast approaching, and he certainly couldn't just stand by and watch Chen Shuyuan go in.

Zhang Zihao realized that the key to this matter lay with Ye Chen.

Once he gets past Ye Chen, the situation will be much less serious, and things will be easier for him to handle going forward.

"Ye, Ye Chen, it was Shuyuan and I who were wrong before. We shouldn't have targeted you!" Zhang Zihao lowered his proud head.

"Shuyuan, she just went astray for a moment. She's not a bad person at heart. She just wanted to vent her anger; she didn't mean anything else!"

"You're a magnanimous person, don't stoop to her level. I can give you 10 yuan as a settlement, and we can let this matter rest, how about that?"

Zhang Zihao's heart was bleeding when he said those words.

Damn it, it's all because of this woman! Another 10 yuan gone. She really is a money-loser!

What kind of nonsense is this!

To be honest, bowing down to Ye Chen was even more painful for him than giving him the 10 yuan, but he had no choice but to bow down under the current circumstances.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Do you think I'd be short of your 10 yuan? Besides, what about your school? Have you considered the feelings of Principal Lin and the other school leaders?"

Vice Principal Lin stood aside with a dark expression, staring at Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan.

Vice Principal Lin was furious when he thought about the comments made in the live stream.

If he had accepted bribes, that would be one thing, but the problem is he didn't, and he's still being wrongly accused. How could he not be angry?

"Principal Lin..." Zhang Zihao looked at Principal Lin, wanting to plead for leniency, but was interrupted by Principal Lin.

"The school takes this matter very seriously; even Mayor Wu is aware of it. Do you think this can be resolved with just a few words? Let's proceed according to legal procedures!"

Vice Principal Lin snorted coldly, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.

Zhang Zihao was in a real bind; he hadn't expected that even Mayor Wu knew about this!

This matter was beyond his control. He glanced at Chen Shuyuan and sighed heavily.

How could a woman with neither a large chest nor a small brain cause such a stroke?

Why would you want to retaliate against Ye Chen by stirring up trouble in the school's live stream?

Isn't this forcibly linking Ye Chen to the school?

If something goes wrong, the school definitely has to stand up for him; we share the same fate!

Ye Chen can still be insulted, but can you or I insult the school?

Slapping the school in the face is slapping those big shots in the face, isn't it? That's fucking ridiculous...

Why insist on causing trouble at the school's centennial celebration? Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for leaders from all sides?

Zhang Zihao felt a surge of powerlessness.
