Chapter 20 - Zhang Jingshan's Test

He didn't know whether to leave or stay.

In the end, Ye Chen still chose to see what the other party was up to.

While Ye Chen waited boredly.

About ten minutes later.

A flashy red Porsche Panamera stopped in front of him.

"What exactly do you want with me?"

Looking at Zhang Jingshan getting out of the car, Ye Chen frowned.

"Mr. Ye, how about we find a place to talk?" Zhang Jingshan said.

"I don't think that's necessary. If you don't have anything important, I'm leaving. I have things to do!" Ye Chen shook his head.

"Mr. Ye, where are you going? How about I give you a ride and we talk in the car?" Zhang Jingshan quickly said.

Ye Chen thought for a moment.

It would be a waste not to ride in this car.

So he nodded without any pretense, opened the passenger door, and got in.

After the Paramela started moving again.

Zhang Jingshan then noticed that Ye Chen was still holding the brown paper bag he had given him yesterday.

"Mr. Ye, weren't you coming to the bank to open a card? How is this money still in your hand?"

"Who said opening a card means depositing money?" Ye Chen glanced at him, feeling a bit depressed.

He really couldn't figure out this guy's strange attentiveness.

Just as Chen Yinuo said, how could someone with Zhang Jingshan's status possibly think highly of him?

Because of that string of prayer beads?

It was just a casual transaction between strangers.

Far from it!

"Ahem, right, Mr. Ye, where are you heading?" Zhang Jingshan changed the subject.

"Jinlin Mansion on the west side!" Ye Chen said directly.

"Jinlin Mansion? Is that the housing development with the lowest prices in all of Jingzhou?"

Glancing again at the brown paper bag in Ye Chen's hand, Zhang Jingshan was stunned.

Was he going to use the money from selling the prayer bead bracelet to buy a house at Jinlin Mansion?

"Mr. Ye, you aren't thinking of buying a house at Jinlin Mansion, are you? Although the prices there are low, the surroundings are dirty and chaotic, and it's unlikely to see any development within ten years. If you buy a house there..."

Before Zhang Jingshan could finish.

Ye Chen interrupted, "Why don't you just tell me why you're looking for me!"

Interrupted by Ye Chen like that.

Zhang Jingshan could only give up on his reminder and suggestion.

He changed his tone to a serious one, "Mr. Ye, following your hint yesterday, I found a pinhole camera in that woman's room last night. As you said, it was a trap, a trap using a pinhole camera to create leverage and threaten me!"

Ye Chen was quite surprised to hear this.

Zhang Jingshan solved the problem so quickly?

"So you're here to thank me?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Thanking you is one aspect!"

Zhang Jingshan paused, "The other aspect is that I want to ask, Mr. Ye, how did you know I would be set up in a trap?"

This was Zhang Jingshan's real intention!

Although he knew Ye Chen wouldn't speak plainly.

He wanted to judge if there were any clues or oddities through Ye Chen's expression and reaction.

However, how could he know that he was facing an eighty-nine-year-old man who had once possessed personal assets worth hundreds of billions?

Someone like him, in Ye Chen's eyes, was no different from a little kid.

How could he possibly let him see any clues or tricks?

As Zhang Jingshan glanced out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Chen calmly and indifferently said, "Didn't I tell you? I saw that your glabella didn't look right, and I had a feeling you would encounter a love calamity. And in your Yunshan Network Company, there are peach blossoms everywhere!"

"Is it that simple? Mr. Ye, don't you think this explanation is a bit far-fetched?" Zhang Jingshan said.

If not for what happened last night.

He might really have treated Ye Chen as just a business acquaintance he met by chance.

At most, he would owe him a favor regarding the prayer bead bracelet, and once the favor was repaid, there would be no further connection.

But with last night's incident, setting aside the huge favor he owed Ye Chen, he genuinely wanted to figure out how Ye Chen knew.

Don't talk about fortune-telling or face reading, that's too damn ridiculous!

"Then how would it not be far-fetched? Should I say I'm in league with the person who set the trap for you? Should I say I want to take this opportunity to get close to you and plot against you?" Ye Chen said with an indifferent smile.

"No, no, no, Mr. Ye, you've misunderstood. What does Zhang Jingshan have that you could plot against? Isn't it just a broken network company that gathers streamers to promote e-commerce goods? What could Mr. Ye possibly want from it? Moreover, if Mr. Ye hadn't warned me, I'm afraid this fall would have prevented Zhang Jingshan from ever getting back up, and even dragged my family down with me! I'm just wondering how Mr. Ye knew there was a trap waiting for me!"

Zhang Jingshan explained in a hurry.

After speaking, he added, "That's all!"

"It's still those two words, intuition! If President Zhang insists on getting to the bottom of it, I can only get out of the car because I can't give you any reason!" Ye Chen said.

Intuition, it's intuition again!

Isn't this damn ridiculous?

A person he just met by chance could sense that there was a trap waiting for Zhang Jingshan?

Damn!

Not to mention he wasn't a superstitious person to begin with, even if he was a fervent believer in superstition, he wouldn't believe such a mystical claim!

Inside the car, silence fell.

A moment later.

Zhang Jingshan, no longer pressing for answers, spoke again, "Mr. Ye, aren't you curious about what kind of trap it was?"

"I don't like gossiping about things that have nothing to do with me!"

After a pause, Ye Chen added, "However, if President Zhang wants to talk about it, I'm all ears!"

"It was the top female streamer under my company. Among all the female streamers in the entire company, I was only intimately involved with her privately; nobody knew about this! She installed a pinhole camera in the bedroom and deliberately pretended to be raped by me on the bed, wanting to use this to threaten me. She attempted to make me go to my Grandpa, use my Grandpa's connections, to get a drug dealer who was sentenced to ten years out of jail! That drug dealer is her ex-boyfriend's younger brother, and her ex-boyfriend threatened her with her past to make her create an opportunity to threaten me! Mr. Ye, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhang Jingshan said.

However, as he spoke, he was closely observing Ye Chen's expression changes out of the corner of his eye.

To his disappointment, however, Ye Chen remained just as calm and composed.

"Mm, I understand! Congratulations to President Zhang for solving the problem and resolving this potential crisis!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

But inwardly, he was amazed at the circumstances of the matter.

In his previous life, he only knew that Zhang Jingshan was tricked by a streamer named Yiyi, which led to his family's ruin.

But he didn't know the truth of what happened, even after the injustice was cleared up years later. The reasons behind it were never disclosed. Of course, it was also possible that in his previous life, he hadn't paid attention to the aftermath.

Under Ye Chen's unwavering calmness.

Zhang Jingshan felt another wave of disappointment.

However, along with the disappointment came intense curiosity about Ye Chen.

Leaving aside Ye Chen's sharp eye for spotting bargains in Guwan City, and leaving aside the warning he gave him in the Yiyi incident.

Such a calm, composed, and seamless person.

How could he be the kind of degenerate gambler who was content with mediocrity and just waiting to die?

Not necessarily!

For a moment, he felt as if the other person had gained an aura of mystery!

"What congratulations? Mr. Ye, this is thanks to you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to imagine what would happen next! Mr. Ye, how about this, let's find a place to have lunch at noon, which can be considered a token of my gratitude to you! By the way, I'll introduce you to a friend, um... it's the CEO of Huaxing Trading!" Zhang Jingshan said with a dry laugh.

Originally, Ye Chen instinctively wanted to refuse.

But after hearing Zhang Jingshan say he would introduce him to the CEO of Huaxing Trading.

He immediately changed his mind about refusing.

For no other reason than that the other party was the boss of Yinuo's company.

If he could befriend him, Yinuo's time at the company would naturally be much more comfortable and smooth.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, but let me pay the down payment for the house first!"

At this moment.

The Paramela, guided by the navigation system's completion notification, arrived at the sales office of Jinlin Mansion.
