He was the first person to talk to Yin Zhongtian when he was brought to Lingzhou City for isolated investigation. Yin Zhongtian repeatedly stated that the case had nothing to do with him and that he had simply done his job. Zheng Wei told him they were only in the preliminary investigation and that he should cooperate and tell everything he knew. Yin Zhongtian explained everything, but the task force still wouldn’t let him go and kept him detained. Each time he inquired, investigators said they knew he was innocent, but higher-ups wanted to investigate thoroughly.
Seeing Ye Zhengchen and Zheng Wei chatting and laughing, Yin Zhongtian understood this was a setup. They deliberately arrested him to give Ye Zhengchen an opportunity to steal his love. Knowing his predicament was due to Ye Zhengchen, he could no longer control his anger and rushed across the street, confronting Ye Zhengchen.
Ye Zhengchen pushed him away, noticing the crowd gathering. He coldly straightened his clothes and approached. “Secretary Yin, don’t overestimate yourself. I’ve been in more fights than reports you’ve written. In front of your fellow townspeople, I’ll give you face, so don’t humiliate yourself.”
“Ye Zhengchen, you’re so despicable for framing me…”
“So what if I framed you? Can you get revenge on me?”
Ye Zhengchen moved closer, speaking in a voice only he could hear: “Honestly, I not only had people lock you up, but I also spread rumors that you embezzled public funds with evidence that would lead to a death sentence. Your fiancée was running around trying to save you… I lured her to the presidential suite and subjected her to… She endured it to save you… Last night, to ask me to help you return to the city government, she agreed to marry me…”
Yin Zhongtian stared in disbelief, falling into chaos as Ye Zhengchen’s arrogant smile distorted before his eyes.
“Oh, I almost forgot to mention, last night when she slept in my arms, she kept calling your name, saying: ‘Zhongtian, what else can I do for you?'” Ye Zhengchen took out a diamond ring and held it in front of him. “I really don’t understand what’s so special about a useless man like you that she would be so devoted…”
