Ye Cheng said somewhat wearily, “What else can I do? She’s the Vice Mayor’s daughter. I’ve only just stabilized my position. The Bureau Chief is only grooming me as his successor because of this relationship. Unless Fu Ting dies, I’ll have to continue like this. If I marry her…”
Ye Cheng could not finish his words.
Chen Chen said, “The society is plagued with instability now, and there’s chaos everywhere. With Ms. Fu’s temper, if anything happens, no one can be blamed. Don’t you agree?”
Ye Cheng did not reply. Instead, he turned and looked out the window.
Chen Chen pursed his lips slightly. In his opinion, the matter regarding finding Ye Xin was difficult to solve, but the matter regarding Fu Ting could be easily resolved.
After a moment, Ye Cheng finally said, “Tell Ji An to be more meticulous. Don’t leave any traces behind that can lead to future trouble. Make sure he doesn’t implicate us…”
Chen Chen nodded. “Understood. Don’t worry, Young Master.”
Ye Cheng looked out of the window again. He did not want to continue like this. After entering politics and becoming an official, it would be too meaningless if he had to continue living like a coward.
Thinking about what he had gained and lost during this period of time, his heart felt even heavier. In the end, he still lost to Mu Chen. Mu Chen completely controlled the Mu Corporation, and he had his wife and son waiting for him at home; Mu Chen was truly the winner in life.
On the other hand, for him, the more he wanted, the more he lost.
“Chen Chen, tell Ji An to clean up the Vice Mayor’s affairs. I don’t want to wait anymore. During this period of time, I’ll arrange a public outing to N City in the neighboring province to take action. Help me keep an eye on the Ye Corporation and don’t let my father do anything reckless.”
“Understood!” Chen Chen responded before sighing in relief.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Cheng asked, looking at Chen Chen through the rearview mirror.
Chen Chen said slightly sheepishly, “Young Master, seeing you suffer, how can I be in a good mood? Why don’t we go out tonight and have a good time?”
Ye Cheng smiled and shook his head. “It’s a pity we’re being attacked from both sides. There are many troubles outside…”
Chen Chen naturally knew what Ye Cheng was talking about. “Madam has been locked up at home. She has had no contact with the outside world.”
Ye Cheng nodded. “That’s for the best. Those serving by her side must learn to keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, I don’t mind silencing them…”
“Rest assured and go to N City, Young Master. I’ll tell Ji An to get to work immediately while you’re there…” Chen Chen said, feeling more relaxed now.
Ye Cheng leaned back against the seat and said in a low voice, “I need to know about Mu Chen and Song Ning’s companies’ movements at all times…”
Chen Chen smiled disdainfully. “Mu Chen’s heart is only filled with his son now. He doesn’t even go to the company that often now. Meanwhile, Cheng Che had become obsessed with the entertainment industry recently. He’s very diligent in selecting actors and scripts. I heard that for a new movie, he even arranged for the cast and the crew to visit the mental hospital to observe what it’s like…”
Chen Chen shook his head. He and Cheng Che were both assistants, but Cheng Che was a few levels higher than him. After all, Cheng Che was an adopted son of the Mu family; Cheng Che could be considered a half Young Master of the Mu family. Moreover, Cheng Che also had inheritance so he was not short of money. It was only natural that Cheng Che was better than people like him. For this reason, he had always disliked Cheng Chen.
Ye Cheng was very sensitive. He asked, “Mental hospital?”
Chen Chen hurriedly replied, “Yes, but it’s not the one where Young Miss went. It’s said that Cheng Che thought the conditions of the mental hospital where Young Miss was admitted was too good so it didn’t fit the script. In the end, he found another mental hospital in the suburbs. He’s crazy…”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t let your guard down about the Young Miss’ matters…”
Chen Chen hastily nodded. “Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll be vigilant..”
