Chapter 113: Someone Seeks to Ruin Third Brother

"Xiao Hua, you’ve come at the right time. Your brother, he..."

When Yang Lan saw that the person approaching was Ye Hua, she initially hoped that Ye Hua could help resolve this messy situation. Little did she know, trailing behind Ye Hua were two police officers.

At the sight of the police, Ye Hua felt a slight tremor in her heart. Feigning ignorance, she asked with a bewildered expression, "Mother, some police officers were looking for Zemao and a Ms. Sun Ying, so I brought them in. But who is Ms. Sun Ying?"

The woman sobbed as she walked up to Ye Hua and the officers. Tears the size of peas streamed down her face, and amidst her choked sobs, she cried out, "Officers, please, save me! The Third Young Master just tried to assault me. Madam Ye knew full well what he intended to do, yet she turned the tables, accusing me of seducing him instead of acknowledging his vile behavior. Is there no justice left in this world? Can’t the people's police protect the innocent?"

Overcome with emotion and suffering from a lack of blood flow to her brain, Sun Ying grew dizzy and collapsed to the ground.

The police helped the fallen woman up. Seeing her look of utter despair, their expressions turned stern. One of them, clenching his fist, stepped toward Yang Lan and spoke in a professional tone, "Since Ms. Sun has reported that Mr. Ye Zemao assaulted her against her will, we must take him to the station to investigate the situation. We will arrest Mr. Ye Zemao if necessary."

Ye Hua deliberately widened her eyes, displaying an expression of disbelief. She raised her voice an octave, "Officers, you must be mistaken. My third brother is an upright man who has always kept his distance from women. How could he possibly have assaulted this Ms. Sun in a place like this? I simply cannot believe it!"

"Whether you believe it or not is your own affair; we are following standard procedures and the law," the officer replied.

He walked over to Ye Zemao, who stood there with a dull, stunned expression, and said coldly, "Mr. Ye Zemao, if you do not wish to be the center of attention, I suggest you use your clothing to cover the handcuffs."

The officer produced a pair of silver handcuffs and clamped them onto Ye Zemao’s wrists with cold indifference. Looking down at the silver cuffs, Ye Zemao’s heart sank to the bottom of a pit. Gripping Yang Lan’s hand in fear, he shouted nervously, "Mother, I really didn't do it! You have to believe me. Help me find Lu Yao; she can definitely help me resolve this."

"Alright, I will make sure Lu Yao finds a way to get you out safely," Yang Lan promised, clutching Ye Zemao’s hand with reluctance as tears welled in her eyes.

Ye Hua looked on with feigned concern, her eyes filled with nothing but contempt.

Sun Ying followed the police to the station to undergo a forensic medical examination. Yang Lan held Ye Hua’s hand, weeping in distress. She couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Hua, were you the one filming us just now?"

Ye Hua flatly denied it, shaking her head. "No. I was busy bringing the police to you; I wasn't filming."

Hearing this, Yang Lan’s head began to throb. She looked around anxiously, only to realize that even the male waiter who had been there earlier had vanished. She slapped her thigh in despair, feeling as though the sky were collapsing. Her voice trembled as she said, "Something terrible has happened. Someone wants to destroy your third brother."

"Someone wants to destroy the Third Brother? Who?" Ye Hua asked, continuing to play dumb.

"If your third brother’s reputation is ruined, the biggest beneficiary will be Ye Zehong. It must be him playing tricks behind the scenes, plotting against your brother to secure his position as the next head of the Ye family," Yang Lan said, her eyes glaring coldly toward the direction of the banquet hall.

A subtle, imperceptible sneer tugged at the corner of Ye Hua’s mouth. She echoed her mother’s suspicion with a tone of certainty, "You’re right. It must be that vicious second brother."

To ensure Ye Zemao’s downfall was even more thorough, Ye Hua deliberately stoked the flames: "Lu Yao and Ye Zehong are cut from the same cloth. You must not listen to the third brother and go to her. Lu Yao will never help him resolve this."
