My Wild Wife in Shanghai

"Were we set up?"

Bai Xueyan was initially surprised, but looking at the photo of Chen Ye and that woman embracing, she felt a sour, unpleasant feeling welled up inside her, and even her prominent chest heaved slightly.

"Tell me, who set this up? Was someone holding a knife to your throat, forcing you to hug this beautiful woman so tightly?"

Chen Ye sensed a peculiar meaning in Bai Xueyan's tone.

It felt like a woman throwing a tantrum.

Knowing that further explanation was futile at this point, he said, "If Chairman Bai doesn't believe me, just punish me directly. Whatever the outcome, I'll accept it!"

After those words were spoken, the office fell into a brief silence.

Looking at Chen Ye's stubborn face, Bai Xueyan couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces she had experienced with Chen Ye before.

Her sharp gaze eventually softened.

"Chen Ye, do you know? There's a lot of undercurrents within the group right now. Many shareholders are resentful of me and are secretly looking for opportunities to rise in rank. You're the deputy director I personally promoted..."

She paused, a hint of helplessness and sternness in her beautiful eyes: "And now this scandal has suddenly surfaced. Have you considered that this is a slap in the face to me, Bai Xueyan!"

A sense of apology welled up in Chen Ye's heart.

He hadn't considered this aspect.

In this unpredictable workplace, I am really too young.

"Chairman Bai, this is a monster, I was careless! But as long as you give me a chance, I will find the person who framed me, prove myself, and also stand up for you!" Chen Ye said firmly.

Looking at Chen Ye's resolute gaze, Bai Xueyan's anger subsided considerably.

She also believed that Chen Ye was not that kind of person.

"I will postpone your punishment decision for now, but remember, you don't have much time. You must get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible!" Bai Xueyan said. "As for any help you need, just tell me privately, and I'll arrange it for you!"

Feeling trusted by Bai Xueyan, Chen Ye was deeply moved and nodded emphatically, saying, "Thank you, Chairman Bai!"

Bai Xueyan suddenly narrowed her beautiful eyes, staring coldly at Chen Ye: "Why don't you learn your lesson? I told you before, what did you call me when no one was around?"

"Sister Bai!" Chen Ye smiled and said, "Sister Bai!"

"Don't let your sister Bai down this time!" Bai Xueyan teased.

"I will definitely live up to Sister Bai's expectations!" Chen Ye saluted.

"Go!" Bai Xueyan waved her hand.

Chen Ye took a couple of steps, then suddenly turned back, adding with an extremely serious expression, "By the way, Sister Bai, I must clarify something for you: nothing happened between me and that woman in the photo! Absolutely nothing!"

After saying that, he seemed to sense something was wrong and hurriedly left the office.

Bai Xueyan was stunned.

She gently bit her luscious red lips, muttering to herself in a coquettish tone, "Why do you have to emphasize whether or not you had sex with that woman in front of me? It's like I care so much..."

After saying that, a smile inadvertently appeared on his lips.

Chen Ye left Bai Xueyan's office and returned to Su Jing's office, where he told Su Jing what had happened.

"Chairman Bai still trusts me; give me time to investigate!"

Su Jing's tone softened somewhat as she said, "Chairman Bai is under a lot of pressure right now. You're just trying to sow discord between him and others. From now on, you don't need to do anything. Hand over all the work to others and focus solely on your investigation to prove yourself!"

Su Jing's words revealed her complete trust in Chen Ye.

"Yes, President Su!" Chen Ye replied.

After leaving Su Jing's office, Chen Ye sat back down at his workstation and carefully considered what had happened that night.

To find out who did this, one crucial clue is to identify who took these photos.

He could guess from the photos of him and the woman in the hotel that someone had secretly installed a camera to take them, but this would be difficult to investigate, and the hotel might not cooperate with him.

But who took the photos at the banquet?

By identifying who took the photos at the banquet, we can find the mastermind behind it all.

But that night, the MCA Youth Association specifically emphasized that everyone should eat, but no photos were allowed.

Everyone put their phones aside at the time, and no one took pictures. He didn't drink alcohol and remembers it very clearly.

Chen Ye carefully examined the photos and, judging from the angles from which they were taken, it was likely done by someone close to him.

This angle...

Chen Ye pondered for a long time, then suddenly felt a shock!

Ma Qing!!

Because Ma Qing was sitting next to him, this was Ma Qing's angle.

However, Ma Qing specifically forbade everyone to take photos that night, and she herself placed her phone face down on the table and did not touch it at all.

How could she possibly take photos?

Moreover, the photo was taken very accurately. If Ma Qing wanted to take a photo, he would have to seize the opportunity to do so, otherwise he would definitely have noticed.

But he really didn't see Ma Qing taking pictures!

Moreover, besides taking photos, who put the medicine in their soup?

Chen Ye felt his mind was in a mess for a moment.

Having been in the workforce for more than six months, this was the first time he had encountered such a thorny problem.

This question was slightly beyond his level!

Chen Ye rubbed his temples, got up and went to the corridor, standing by the window to relax.

The next second, he suddenly remembered someone.

Perhaps that person can give him some advice!

Chen Ye picked up his phone and dialed Officer An Yuning's number.

A moment later, the call was answered, the voice cold yet mocking: "Hey, Chen Ye? Why are you calling all of a sudden? Did you get shot again?"

Chen Ye gave an awkward smile: "Officer An, please stop teasing me. I have something I'd like to ask you for advice on!"

An Yuning seemed a little surprised and said, "Give you advice? Are we that close?"

Chen Ye took a deep breath and said, "I heard that Officer An is preparing to be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division. You are an excellent criminal investigator, so you must have a keen insight into criminals..."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me!" An Yuning asked sternly, "Did you commit a crime?"

"It wasn't me!" Chen Ye said. "Someone else is targeting me, but with my counter-surveillance skills, I can't figure it out yet, so I hope Officer An can give me some advice! By the way, Officer An, when do you get off work? I'd like to treat you to dinner!"

"Don't give me that!" An Yuning said bluntly, "Just get to the point, I'm busy!"

Chen Ye said with difficulty, "This matter cannot be explained in a short time. When do you have time? I'll come to you and discuss it in person!"

An Yuning was getting impatient.

However, her attitude towards Chen Ye has improved a lot.

Not long ago, Chen Ye helped him solve Huang Xiao's case involving 108 stab wounds.

Moreover, it also implicated the Black Brother loan shark gang.

An Yuning made two merits and was successfully transferred to the Criminal Investigation Brigade to serve as the acting leader of the second team.

Being a criminal investigator was her dream, and Chen Ye helped her in a way.

She felt a little grateful to Chen Ye.

"Given your good performance last time, I can help you this time!" An Yuning said.

"Thank you, Mr. An!" Chen Ye said happily.

"Smooth-talking!" An Yuning muttered, "Come call me after 7:30 tonight!"

After saying that, he hung up.
