"I heard that the Ye Family’s new product is excellent, so I went to see it and got along well with Miss Ye. We chatted for a bit, and then Miss Ye left from my place. As for where she went, you might want to ask her yourself."

"Yu Xiuzhun, stop talking nonsense!" Jin Chenye’s face darkened.

Despite his good manners preventing him from cursing, Yu Xiuzhun’s blatant lies were enough to make anyone want to kill.

"I’m telling the truth. If you’re going to accuse me, you should at least have some justification. Just based on one-sided words, you want to blame Ye Mingmei’s disappearance on me? Do you think Yu Xiuzhun is a pushover?"

Yu Xiuzhun gently raised a finger, and the surrounding bodyguards immediately assumed a readiness to attack.

"Mr. Yu, the water is ready." In the midst of this tense standoff, the butler brought forward a few glasses of water.

"Perfect timing. Let’s also have Madam Dan try some of the Yu family’s boiled water and see how it tastes." Yu Xiuzhun smiled wickedly, his gaze brushing over Qin Youxuan’s face with an almost imperceptible sneer.

"It’s rare to come to the Yu family; what does it matter what we drink." Qin Youxuan smiled gracefully, glancing around. "I wonder if I have the honor of touring Mr. Yu’s villa."

"..."

Yu Xiuzhun’s eyes narrowed, staring intently at Qin Youxuan.

A woman who can stay by Dan Hanjie’s side truly has her methods.

Even at such a time, she could think of using the villa tour as a tactic to find someone.

If he refuses, it would seem as if he has something to hide, wouldn’t it?

But Yu Xiuzhun wasn’t buying into this.

"No."

Yu Xiuzhun’s lips barely moved, his response firm and resonant.

"If nothing to hide, then what’s the fear about a villa? Or is Mingmei really hidden here, and you’re afraid we’ll find her?" Jin Chenye had been waiting for this moment since Qin Youxuan spoke.

Immediately questioning when Yu Xiuzhun refused.

"Trying to convict me based on just your words, isn’t that laughable? Since you claim I took her away, where’s the evidence? Without it, surely among all those at the meeting, there’s at least one witness?"

"..."

Jin Chenye clenched his fists, glaring fiercely at him.

The entire setup that night was orchestrated by Yu Xiuzhun. By daring to ask this, he was confident that he hadn’t left any evidence for Jin Chenye to seize upon.

Let alone finding someone willing to openly oppose such a formidable figure like Yu Xiuzhun, even if found, who would dare?

"Even if Ye Mingmei were here, no one can search the Yu family’s villa just because they feel like it!" Yu Xiuzhun’s tall figure rose from the sofa, glancing at Jin Chenye.

The two faced off at a short distance, the air around them thick with tension.

"The eighteenth, Guan Mai Port." Dan Hanjie’s cold eyes flickered, casually letting out a few words.

Aside from the initial statement, Dan Hanjie had only spoken two sentences in total.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiuzhun’s expression noticeably changed, his hand at his side clenched into a fist, veins popping.

"What do you mean by this?"

"You should know better than I do. Hand over Ye Mingmei, or your losses won’t just be one deal." Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow, coldly speaking.

"You’re threatening me? And if I just refuse to believe it?" Yu Xiuzhun stood with his hands behind him, directly facing Dan Hanjie’s direction.
