Ye Zhi almost rolled her eyes all the way back. She was here to save her family's lives, not to be the Queen Mother, right?
Besides, if the three bloody lives of their family couldn't bring Ye Qin Ya back to her senses, how could she possibly make Ye Qin Ya reconsider? Ye Yong Xian thought too highly of her.
However, she did have a way to make Ye Yong Xian give up this idea.
"Then how about this..." Ye Zhi said, appearing to ponder, "I go seduce Ou Ming Han?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" Ye Yong Xian immediately stopped her. "That person is not simple. How can we involve you too? Moreover, if Qin Ya misunderstands, it will also affect the relationship between you sisters."
"But I can't think of any other better way..." Ye Zhi said with a troubled tone.
"Let's forget about this for now," Ye Yong Xian sighed. "We'll think of a way slowly later."
"Alright then." Ye Zhi agreed with a smile.
After that, Ye Zhi left Ye Yong Xian's office.
She was quite satisfied with this trip. Ye Yong Xian was already suspicious of Ou Ming Han and had started to guard against him. This meant her action to save the Ye family had suddenly gained a good helper. Although... this might be the only helper, it was still better than fighting alone.
After a busy day, just before work ended, Ye Zhi received a call from Ye Qin Ya.
"Sister, want to go out tonight? You haven't been back for a long time. I've invited some friends to welcome you back. Will you come?"
From the phone, Ye Qin Ya's gentle voice could be heard. Ye Zhi's lips curled slightly. To welcome her back?
More like to put her in her place!
This phone call was likely Ou Ming Han's idea. Tonight's 'Hongmen Banquet' was undoubtedly another test from Ou Ming Han for her. As for whether to go...
Of course, she had to go!
However, who was giving whom the 'down-the-lane' treatment, that was not yet certain!
"Sure," Ye Zhi smiled slightly. "It just so happens I have something to discuss with your friends."
"She agreed..." Ye Qin Ya's delighted voice came through the receiver, followed by an awkward cough as she quickly corrected herself, "That's great, Sister, I mean, you agreed..."
Ye Zhi simply pretended not to hear, asked for the time and place, and hung up the phone.
That evening, Ye Zhi arrived at the appointed bar.
She walked into the reserved private room and was immediately choked by the strong smell of smoke, making her frown.
Ye Zhi peered closer. Ou Ming Han and Ye Qin Ya were sitting in the center of the room, surrounded by their usual crowd of hangers-on.
Ye Zhi scanned the room, her gaze falling on a woman dressed provocatively, who was constantly sending flirtatious glances at Ou Ming Han.
The movement at the door naturally alerted everyone in the room. Ye Qin Ya stood up with a delighted expression, "Sister, you finally..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Ye Zhi stride in. And surprisingly, she was followed by two people. Upon seeing the clothing of those two individuals, Ye Qin Ya was stunned.
Ye Zhi stopped and looked at the alluringly dressed woman in front of her, frowning as she asked, "Are you Zhang Dan Ni?"
Zhang Dan Ni looked at her with disdain, "I am! What do you want?"
Ye Zhi immediately turned and said to the two police officers behind her, "Officers, it's her!"
Yes, she didn't come alone. Before coming, she had used the surveillance footage of Zhang Dan Ni intentionally causing the car crash to report to the police.
Seeing the two approaching police officers, Zhang Dan Ni immediately panicked and cried out in fear, "Stop! What right do you have to arrest me? Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!"
"What right do we have to arrest you?" Ye Zhi sneered. "Just for deliberately crashing our family's car!"
"So what if I hit it?" Zhang Dan Ni became more agitated. "But Ye Qin Ya didn't die! She's not pursuing it, so why are you meddling? Ye Qin Ya! I knew you were faking your kindness. You told me you weren't pursuing it, but it must have been you, you wicked woman, who secretly called the police, right?! Ming Han, you see her true colors now, hurry and save me!"
"No! Ming Han, believe me, it wasn't me!" Ye Qin Ya defended herself with a wronged expression.
"I know it wasn't you," Ou Ming Han stared at Ye Zhi with cold eyes. "Miss Ye, we are all friends, why make things so unpleasant? Give me some face, please stop pursuing this and upsetting everyone."
"Friends?" Ye Zhi looked at him mockingly. "Mr. Ou, I've only met you once, and I've never even met these people. How can we be friends? So you all like to claim acquaintances so easily?"
Seeing Ye Zhi openly defying him, Ou Ming Han's expression grew even uglier. He directly pushed Ye Qin Ya. Ye Qin Ya, regaining her composure, nervously approached Ye Zhi, "Sister, hasn't this matter already passed? Hurry and tell the police to let it go..."
"Qin Ya, when you were studying, did you stuff all your books into a dog's belly? How can you say such idiotic things?" Ye Zhi sneered and reprimanded her. "Causing a traffic accident is a public prosecution case. Moreover, the surveillance footage at the time clearly showed that she not only intentionally hit someone but also fled the scene after the crash! Her running away changes the nature of the offense! If you don't pursue it, it's at most you giving up her compensation. This doesn't mean she's innocent, nor does it mean she won't be sentenced!"
Upon hearing that she might even be sentenced, Zhang Dan Ni's face turned pale with fright. She frantically made excuses for herself, "I didn't do it on purpose! I, I just drank some alcohol and lost control..."
Ye Zhi was almost amused by her. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. What kind of self-destructing truck was Zhang Dan Ni?
"Very good," Ye Zhi said, suppressing her laughter. "Now you have another charge of drunk driving, which you admitted to yourself!"
Zhang Dan Ni's face turned even paler.
"Dan Ni, don't speak recklessly yet!" fearing she would say more wrong, Ou Ming Han said with a somber face, "Go to the police station with them first. Don't worry, I'll arrange for a lawyer to rescue you immediately."
"Ming Han, you must save me!" Zhang Dan Ni immediately burst into tears.
Ye Zhi watched this scene with a mocking smile. Zhang Dan Ni was too similar to Ye Qin Ya. Although their personalities were vastly different, they were both lovestruck and deeply infatuated with Ou Ming Han.
The reason Zhang Dan Ni deliberately hit Ye Qin Ya was because Ou Ming Han had orchestrated it, deliberately igniting Ye Qin Ya's jealousy and "accidentally" revealing Ye Qin Ya's whereabouts to her.
After the incident, it was also Ou Ming Han who mediated, preventing Ye Qin Ya from pursuing the matter further. With this masterful manipulation, he made both women even more devoted to him.
However...
