Although Chen Ye had not practiced in the court and the opposition, he was very clear:

A secretary can never take the place of a boss!

Liu Zuolin, as Zhao Tuzhi's secretary, was very abnormal tonight in place of Zhao Tuzhi to refuse Chen Ye's request to meet.

Normally, it is impossible for Liu Zuolin to make such a low-level mistake.

There is only one reason: this is what Zhao Tuzhi himself meant.

Zhao Tuzhi doesn't want to see Chen Ye!

Furthermore, Zhao Tuzhi knew that Chen Ye participated in Xiao Zhiyuan's birthday banquet, and also knew that Xiao Zhiyuan, as an intermediary, helped Sun Hongxia and others negotiate a deal with Chen Ye.

Missing.

This result shows that Zhao Tuzhi is on the side of Sun Hongxia and others.

Chen Ye will either compromise and choose to trade, or he will be punished by the law, and the Xiao family and Xiao Ziyu will also have to pay the price!

After Chen Ye ended the call with Liu Zuolin, he thought of all this.

Xiao Zhiyuan is also like a mirror.

He looked at Chen Ye, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and he couldn't help but speak:

"Ono, Zhao Tuzhi refuses to meet you, what are you going to do next?"

"Grandpa Xiao, I'm going to talk to Ziyu."

Chen Ye's expression was as calm as water, making Xiao Zhiyuan unable to see through his thoughts.

"Okay, I'll go out and let Ziyu in, and you can talk."

Xiao Zhiyuan nodded.

Obviously, he knew very well that by now, he could no longer persuade Chen Ye, so he could only let Xiao Ziyu come forward.

After the words fell, Xiao Zhiyuan left the study.

"My grandfather's mountain tea, how's it going?"

A few minutes later, Xiao Ziyu walked into the study, smiled at Chen Ye, and then wanted to add water to Chen Ye's teacup.

"Ziyu, you should already know the purpose of your grandfather inviting me to the birthday banquet, right?"

Chen Ye did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Hmm."

The smile on Xiao Ziyu's face stiffened as Chen Ye's words rang in her ears, she nodded slightly, and then silently filled Chen Ye's teacup with water.

After doing all this, she sat down beside Chen Ye and continued:

"When you were chatting with my grandfather in the study, my parents told me the purpose of my grandfather's invitation to the birthday banquet."

"Did your grandfather tell you what I talked to him?"

Chen Ye asked again.

Xiao Ziyu nodded and said:

"He just told me outside the study, including Zhao Tuzhi's refusal to meet with you.

I know that Zhao Tuzhi's refusal to meet you is equivalent to standing on the side of Sun Hongxia and those people. They want to force you to close the deal in this way.

Before I got to the study, my grandfather told me to persuade you to complete the deal. ”

"Ziyu, I'm ......"

Hearing Xiao Ziyu's words, Chen Ye subconsciously wanted to say something.

And yet—

As soon as his words came out, he was blocked by Qin Miaoyan's mouth.

Qin Miaoyan kissed Chen Ye gently, then snuggled up to Chen Ye's shoulder, and said softly:

"Chen Ye, I know that you are a person with principles and bottom lines. What Zhao Tianming did violated your bottom line, so you must let him die! ”

"Ziyu ......"

Chen Ye stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Qin Miaoyan's fragrant shoulder, wanting to speak again.

"Chen Ye, listen to me finish speaking."

Xiao Ziyu turned his head, stared at Chen Ye's face up close, and spoke again, his voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely resolute,

"I'm very satisfied that you can help me break the shackles of fate and set me free again. If I really need to pay for it, I have no regrets. So, don't worry about my feelings, follow your heart and do what you want to do. ”

"I'm not going to put you in danger!"

Chen Ye also stared at Xiao Ziyu and made a promise.

When Xiao Ziyu heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly.

She didn't ask Chen Ye what his final choice was, nor did she ask Chen Ye what he was going to do, she just quietly snuggled on Chen Ye's shoulder, closed her eyes slightly, and enjoyed the tranquility of the two of them alone.

Seeing this, Chen Ye didn't say anything more.

After a while, Xiao Ziyu opened his eyes and said, "It's not early, let's go home?" ”

"Okay."

Chen Ye nodded, then got up and walked out of the study with Xiao Ziyu.

Outside the study, Xiao Zhiyuan paced back and forth in the courtyard, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Ono, Ziyu, are you done talking?"

Xiao Zhiyuan heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and saw Chen Ye and Xiao Ziyu walking out of the study, and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, grandpa, I'm going to go back with Chen Ye."

Xiao Ziyu nodded, but she didn't tell Xiao Zhiyuan the result of her chat with Chen Ye.

"Ziyu, I'll go to the study with you to talk a few words, and then you go back."

Xiao Zhiyuan said.

No matter what Chen Ye did, Xiao Zhiyuan must know the answer and then tell Sun Hongxia there.

"Ziyu, I'll wait for you in the courtyard."

Chen Ye understood Xiao Zhiyuan's intentions and also understood Xiao Zhiyuan's difficulties.

Xiao Zhiyuan was forced to act as a middleman.

"Okay."

Xiao Ziyu nodded to Chen Ye, and then walked into the study with Xiao Zhiyuan.

The two talked for about ten minutes, and Xiao Ziyu walked out of the study alone.

"Chen Ye, my grandfather told them about your decision."

Xiao Ziyu took the initiative to say to Chen Ye.

Just now, Xiao Zhiyuan was in the study first, persuading Xiao Ziyu and then persuading Chen Ye, but after Xiao Ziyu refused, he had no choice but to call Sun Hongxia and inform Chen Ye's decision - refuse to trade!

"Hmm."

Chen Ye nodded lightly, and then walked towards the outer courtyard with Xiao Ziyu.

Because the matter that Chen Ye and Xiao Zhiyuan talked about was too important, the other members of the Xiao family left the inner courtyard and waited in the outer courtyard.

When they saw Chen Ye and Xiao Ziyu walking out of the inner courtyard, they all looked at the two of them, but none of them asked.

"Woo-woo-"

Then, just as Chen Ye and Xiao Ziyu were about to leave the Xiao family compound, a siren sounded outside the Xiao family compound.

The piercing siren broke the silence of the night, like a talisman, which made everyone present stunned!

It's so late, how can there be a siren outside the Xiao family's compound?

Could it be that the police want to arrest Chen Ye?

While stunned, the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family were full of doubts.

As the top wealthy family in the Xia Kingdom, the Xiao family has a pivotal position in the Xia Kingdom.

Even if a member of the Xiao family violates the law, the police will not come to the Xiao family to arrest people with great fanfare, but will greet Xiao Zhiyuan in advance, and then secretly take people away.

The thought appeared in their hearts, and everyone in the Xiao family looked at Chen Ye in unison.

Xiao Ziyu was also nervous, and looked at Chen Ye worriedly.

Chen Ye realized something, squinted his eyes slightly, and then turned his gaze to the door of the Xiao family's compound.

Soon, the sirens stopped, and someone knocked on the gate of the Xiao family's compound.

At this moment, Xiao Zhiyuan walked out of the inner courtyard and said to Xiao Zhen:

"Xiao Zhen, go and see what's going on."

"Okay, Dad."

Xiao Zhen nodded, and then under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the gate of the Xiao family's compound, opened the gate, and saw Zhao Qi and the person in charge of the imperial capital police, with a group of police and soldiers of the Dragon Guard, appearing at the door.

This discovery made Xiao Zhen stunned at first, and then asked:

"Chief Zhao, Director Zhou, who are you?"

"Chief Xiao, Chen Ye killed Goldman Sachs in Nangang. We learned that he was in the Xiao family's compound, and according to the instructions of his superiors, he came to arrest him. Leader Zhao and the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army, assist our police in handling the case! ”

Director Zhou, the head of the Imperial Capital Police, showed the arrest warrant issued by the relevant departments and handed it to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen glanced at the arrest warrant, then looked back at Xiao Zhiyuan.

He was asking Xiao Zhiyuan with his eyes, what to do, whether to let Zhao Qi and others in.

Xiao Zhiyuan's expression was solemn.

As the boss of Xia Guo, he knew very well that Zhao Qi and Director Zhou brought people to the Xiao family's compound at night, and someone must have instructed him.

Moreover, as soon as he called Sun Hongxia on the front foot and told Chen Ye's decision, Zhao Qi, Director Zhou and others immediately appeared.

This shows that Zhao Qi and Director Zhou have already taken people and are on standby outside the Xiao family's compound.

As long as Chen Ye does not agree to the transaction, Chen Ye will be arrested!

All of this is interlocking!

Not only Xiao Zhiyuan, but everyone in the Xiao family also realized this.

Like Xiao Zhiyuan, they all set their sights on Chen Ye.

The next moment.

Without waiting for Xiao Zhiyuan to speak, Zhao Qi and Director Zhou took the police and the soldiers of the Long Wei Army and entered the Xiao family compound.

Among them, dozens of heavily armed policemen held guns one after another and aimed their guns at Chen Ye.

"Chen Ye, you are suspected of killing Goldman Sachs in Nangang, go back with us for investigation!"

Director Zhou and Zhao Qi stood at the front of the team, looked at Chen Ye indifferently, and said in a cold voice.

"Even you chickens and dogs, you want to catch me too?!"

Chen Ye's face was as calm as water, and as he spoke, he took the initiative to walk towards Zhao Qi and Director Zhou.

……
