My Wild Wife in Shanghai

A short while later, Ma Qing, wearing a trench coat, came downstairs and approached Chen Ye's car: "Mr. Chen, may I have a word with you in private?"

Chen Ye glanced at An Yuning, then opened the car door and got out, following Ma Qing to the side.

"What's wrong, Sister Ma?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry!"

Ma Qing immediately knelt down before Chen Ye.

"Sister Ma, what are you doing?" Chen Ye hurriedly helped Ma Qing up.

With tears streaming down his face, Ma Qing said, "Today, you risked your life to help my family of three and pay off our high-interest loans. Not only do I have nothing to repay you with, but... on the contrary, I even harmed you before!"

"Oh?"

Chen Ye's eyes lit up, knowing that the other party was about to confess.

Sure enough, the next second Ma Qing blurted out all about how he had secretly taken pictures of Chen Ye.

However, Chen Ye was quite surprised after hearing this.

"You mean, Kim Tae-woo paid you to frame me?"

"Mr. Chen, I was blinded by greed and believed Jin Taiyu's lies!" Ma Qing said, wiping away tears. "He promised to pay off my loan, but he didn't pay the final payment, which forced me to take those photos. If it weren't for you, my life would be over, my whole family would be ruined! Mr. Chen, I don't know how to repay your kindness. I'm so sorry!"

As Ma Qing spoke, tears and snot streamed down his face.

Chen Ye took a deep breath, his expression turning cold: "Sister Ma, thank goodness you confessed yourself. Actually, I've suspected you for a while now because there's something wrong with your glasses!"

"Huh?" Ma Qing's body trembled. "You knew I was framing you, yet you still helped me?"

"Otherwise what? Do you expect me to watch your family be bullied?" Chen Ye retorted.

"Mr. Chen, I... I'm really not human!"

Ma Qing felt utterly ashamed and couldn't lift his head in guilt.

"Alright, since you've confessed, I won't pursue the matter further!" Chen Ye said, "But you have to help me clear my name and expose Jin Taiyu!"

"No problem!" Ma Qing said, then suddenly hesitated, "But... will my actions land me in jail?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ye said, "You took the money, took photos without my consent, and sent defamatory emails. This is indeed illegal."

"But if I go to jail, my two children will be left without anyone to care for them!" Ma Qing's tears fell again.

Chen Ye frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

I can't let myself be wronged forever just because I'm taking care of you, can I?

Seeing Chen Ye's predicament, Ma Qing gritted his teeth and said, "President Chen, you've helped me so much. If I were still thinking of myself, I would be incredibly naive. Here's what I'll do: give me one night to spend with the kids. Tomorrow morning I'll go to the company to expose Jin Taiyu and then turn myself in. Anyway, the loan shark issue is resolved, and I have no more worries!"

Chen Ye took a deep breath, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

Ma Qing was clearly set up by a villain.

"Here's what we'll do," Chen Ye said. "Give me one night to think about it. You also need to prepare your confession materials and your report against Jin Taiyu." He continued, "Come to the company tomorrow and wait for my news!"

"Alright!" Ma Qing said with a look of grim determination, "Whatever you want me to do, Mr. Chen, just say the word, and I'll do it without hesitation!"

Ma Qing was completely won over by Chen Ye's personal charm.

If she were to harbor any selfish motives now, she would be utterly inhuman.

Chen Ye patted Ma Qing on the shoulder: "You should go back now!"

"good!"

Ma Qing said goodbye to Chen Ye and went upstairs.

Chen Ye sat back in the car, and An Yuning smiled slightly: "You confessed?"

"Um!"

"Not bad! At least she has a conscience!"

"She was set up!" Chen Ye said. "Shouldn't she go to jail for this?"

"If it were simply a case of taking photos to defame someone, turning herself in and receiving forgiveness from the person involved would avoid jail time!" An Yuning said. "But the problem is, she accepted 50 yuan from them, which makes the matter serious—a huge sum!"

"How can she avoid going to jail?" Chen Ye asked.

"You're still thinking about her even now?" An Yuning asked.

"I'm thinking about her two children!" Chen Ye said.

An Yuning's eyes softened, and she said, "If you don't call the police, everything will be fine!"

"You're a policeman, you..."

"I don't know anything!" An Yuning turned her face away.

Chen Ye felt a warmth in his heart. This woman seemed ruthless, but she was actually very kind-hearted.

However, it's difficult to avoid calling the police.

If Ma Qing exposes Jin Taiyu, the company will definitely report it to the police, and Ma Qing and Jin Taiyu will be punished together.

But if he didn't expose Kim Tae-woo, he absolutely couldn't accept this outcome.

For a moment, Chen Ye's mind was a bit of a mess.

"Let's go back first, and I'll think about this further!" Chen Ye said.

"Sigh, it's all because of kindness!" An Yuning teased gloatingly.

Chen Ye started the car and sped off.

"By the way, you still haven't told me how you got in there in the first place?" An Yuning asked.

"I already said I don't want to talk about it!"

"Answer the officer's questions truthfully!"

"So the police can ask me anything? I'm not saying anything!"

"You... I'll know when I get back and look at your resume; you don't need to tell me!"

"snort!"

... ...

An hour later, Chen Ye returned to his residence.

Su Jing is still awake.

She was wearing a long T-shirt, lounging on the sofa watching her computer, her two smooth, white legs crossed, a very pleasing sight.

Seeing Chen Ye return, she said irritably, "So late? Where have you been gallivanting off to again? Do you know that because of you, the higher-ups in the group have already taken action?"

"What action?"

Chen Ye hung his coat on the hanger and asked.

"The shareholders held a special meeting to impeach Chairman Bai, accusing him of abusing his power by promoting people he shouldn't have, bringing shame to the group!" Su Jing said. "Now, the shareholders' meeting has resolved to have Chairman Bai recuse himself from this matter, and President Wang Weiye will take over handling your case. This time, even Chairman Bai can't protect you!"

"Huh?" Chen Ye asked in surprise, "I'm just a lowly deputy director, why would these shareholders make such a fuss?"

"The group is a murky place!" Su Jing sighed, speaking earnestly, "Even though you have a low position, you're blocking their path, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Ye nodded.

He was well aware that many major shareholders wanted to pursue the Western medicine route, but Bai Xueyan argued strongly that they should build a traditional Chinese medicine brand enterprise.

Having saved the traditional Chinese medicine route time and again, he had long become a thorn in their side.

President Wang Weiye had long disliked him.

Now that this matter has fallen into Wang Weiye's hands, it's exactly what they wanted!

Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed.

"President Su!" Chen Ye suddenly asked an unrelated question: "Was Jin Taiyu recruited by Wang Weiye?"

"Yeah! Why are you asking this?" Su Jing said.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Ye's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "I suspect Wang Weiye is the mastermind behind this. He recruited Jin Taiyu to deal with me!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Jing's beautiful eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Ye said, "Ma Qing confessed today that she took the photos to frame me, but it was Jin Taiyu who paid 50 yuan to instruct her to do it!"
