Seeing Ye Jingyi flustered by his words, Li Jiangming's eyes gleamed with slyness. He rested his hand on her shoulder and softly began,

"Jing Yi, don't panic first, I can plead with the Sun Family on your behalf. However, there is one condition. We need to help Yu Shao catch Jiang Chen. Only by doing that can we earn Yu Shao's forgiveness and ensure he doesn't blame the Ye Family!"

"Yes, catch that bastard! We must catch him and make him pay!" Zhou Ru said through clenched teeth.

Ye Yanni said anxiously, "We have to catch that useless Jiang Chen; we can't let him drag us down! We can't afford to offend Yu Shao!"

A look of hesitation flitted across Ye Jingyi's face.

Li Jiangming spoke again, "You don't know, the collaboration between the Sun Family and the Ye Family this time was sabotaged by Jiang Chen, and now he has even kidnapped Ye Yuwan, Yu Shao's favorite star. Without catching him, Yu Shao will definitely not let things slide. Only by capturing him can we help the Ye Family!"

Ye Jingyi, hearing this, showed a guilty affection on her face. She felt she had wronged the Ye Family. If it had not been for her bringing Jiang Chen into the picture, none of this would have happened. Jiang Chen was the root of all these troubles, and she felt partly to blame.

Perhaps, she really ought to atone and help the Ye Family capture Jiang Chen!

"I will help you catch Jiang Chen, I'll give him a call!" After a long hesitation, Ye Jingyi finally agreed.

Li Jiangming's face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded, "Good. Now, let's go to meet Yu Shao, apologize to him in person, and then on the way, you can call Jiang Chen and lure him over there!"

"Okay!" Ye Jingyi nodded and stood up to follow Li Jiangming out of her house.

Shengshi Haoting Villa District in Jinhai East City, Villa No. 3.

This was Zhang Long's house. After leaving the hotel, Jiang Chen sought out Zhang Long first, who then brought him to his home.

Zhang Long didn't care whether Jiang Chen had really done something wrong; he had already recognized Jiang Chen as his boss and was wholeheartedly protecting him.

"Zhang Long, go find out where Sun Jiayu is!" Jiang Chen sat on the couch with a gloomy voice.

"Yes!"

Zhang Long respectfully responded and took out his phone to start making calls.

Suddenly, the ringtone of a phone call echoed. Jiang Chen took out his phone, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly answered, "Hello, Jing Yi, what's happened?"

"Jiang Chen, I'm going to plead with Yu Shao to help our Ye Family. Are you coming?" Jing Yi's slightly hesitant voice came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen immediately grew anxious, "Jing Yi, you can't go!"

"Why can't I go? If we don't plead with Yu Shao, the Ye Family is doomed. Whether you come or not, I'm going. Yu Shao is currently at Taiyuan Villa District, Villa No. 7; it's up to you whether you come or not!" Ye Jingyi snapped at Jiang Chen before hanging up the phone.

Beep... Beep...

Staring at the phone emitting a busy tone, Jiang Chen's expression changed, and he quickly called Ye Jingyi back.

Beep... Beep beep beep...

The call was directly disconnected, and when Jiang Chen tried again, it was still cut off!

Jiang Chen was filled with shock and anger. He felt that Sun Jiayu would definitely take this opportunity to make a move on Ye Jingyi.

"Zhang Long, lend me your car, quick! Jing Yi has gone to Taiyuan Villa District to find Sun Jiayu!" Jiang Chen stood up, addressing Zhang Long with urgency.

Without a word, Zhang Long took out the keys and handed them to Jiang Chen.

Taking the keys, Jiang Chen dashed out immediately.

Zhang Long frowned, thought for a moment, and then rushed out as well.

...

Driving the car at high speed, Jiang Chen arrived at Taiyuan Villa District, parking in front of Villa No. 7.

As he got out of the car and dashed into the villa garden, he immediately froze.

There in the garden of Villa No. 7, Ye Jingyi, Sun Jiayu with bandages, Li Jiangming, and several others were all smirking coldly at him.

"Jing Yi, let's go!"

Although he felt something was off, once he snapped back to reality, Jiang Chen still went forward, intending to pull Ye Jingyi away and leave.

"Slap—"

Ye Jingyi flung Jiang Chen's hand away and fiercely slapped him across the face, "Leave? I will not go with a shameless person like you! You brought down the Ye Family, and you even laid your hands on Yu Wan. I was blind to have misread you!"

"No, Jing Yi, listen to me, the situation..."

Jiang Chen was anxious and began to explain.

But just then.

"Don't move!"

"Hands up!"

Suddenly, a wave of loud shouting came from around them. A squad of patrols that had been lying in ambush in the villa compound rushed out from both sides, surrounding Jiang Chen.

The patrols even raised their guns, aiming at Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen did not look around; his eyes widened, and he stared at Ye Jingyi in disbelief.

He had just realized that he had been betrayed by Ye Jingyi, the woman he had always deeply loved, protected, and held in the palm of his hand!

Jiang Chen's heart shattered in an instant!

"Jing Yi, you actually followed the enemy's orders to catch me?"

A sharp pain tore through his heart, and uncontrollable tears streamed down Jiang Chen's face, filled with immense sorrow.

Seeing Jiang Chen in tears, Ye Jingyi bit her lip tightly, suddenly feeling her heart wrench painfully, as if being stabbed by needles.

After clenching her teeth, Ye Jingyi turned her head away, not daring to look at Jiang Chen again.

"Cuff him!"

The patrols rushed to Jiang Chen's side and handcuffed him from behind.

Jiang Chen, looking distraught, did not resist at all, letting the patrols stuff him into a car and take him away.

Once in the car and out of the villa compound, Jiang Chen just sat there, staring out the window, motionless.

After a while, he came back to his senses, glanced at the surrounding patrols, and felt utterly disheartened, as if he had lost even the will to live.

But even in such a moment, Jiang Chen's thoughts still turned to Ye Jingyi, a sense of indescribable anxiety welling up inside him.

I shouldn't have left. I shouldn't have left Jing Yi alone.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen snapped to his senses, his body jolting with realization.

The escorting patrol noticed something amiss, gave Jiang Chen a tense look, and shouted, "Behave yourself."

Jiang Chen ignored the patrol, his brow furrowed tightly.

Sun Jiayu definitely wouldn't have caught me just for the sake of it. Now that Jing Yi is alone with Sun Jiayu, she will definitely be at a disadvantage!

No, I have to save Jing Yi!

With this thought, a resolute look flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. He glanced at the patrolling officers escorting him, silently activated his Cultivation Technique, and forcibly wrenched his hands out of the handcuffs.

Taking advantage of the patrols' unpreparedness, Jiang Chen suddenly burst into action.

Before the surrounding patrols could react, Jiang Chen fiercely kicked open the door of the police car, leaped out, rolled on the ground, and then rushed forward.

Screech—screech—

The other police cars came to an emergency stop. The patrols got out of the cars in a panic, and upon seeing Jiang Chen flee, shouted loudly, "Stop, or we'll shoot!"

But Jiang Chen turned a deaf ear and dashed into a nearby alley.

Having lost their target, the stunned patrols didn't even get a chance to shoot; they could only chase after him down the alley.
