It’s really quite a lack of formality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Susu replied bluntly, \"Commissioner, you didn’t give me a chance to speak either. You’ve been talking non-stop. Where’s my space to say anything? Also, you seem quite eager to catch my slip-ups.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Susu’s words made Political Commissioner Zhao’s face alternate between shades of red and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly explained, \"It’s all Yang Wei’s fault. He doesn’t get the facts straight before spreading rumors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glared at Yang Wei fiercely, saying, \"As a member of the police team, instead of focusing on solving cases properly, you’re here stirring up trouble and tattling like a child. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll keep doing this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yang Wei was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Political Commissioner Zhao to say such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commissioner, didn’t you seem pretty pleased when I mentioned the issue earlier? You even said it’s good to have caught Zhou Susu’s mistake. Why are you now denying it?\" Yang Wei suddenly retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Wei, stop spewing nonsense here. When did I ever say that?\" Political Commissioner Zhao said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was getting more heated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Political Commissioner Zhao hadn’t expected the usually honest Yang Wei to be so bold today, daring to contradict him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dare say too much about Zhou Susu’s rudeness, especially with Ye Chen backing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Wei was different; if even a mere policeman dared to talk back, how could he continue being a commissioner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this got out, it would be quite embarrassing for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commissioner, how could someone as significant as you change face and not admit your words?\" Yang Wei continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Wei, as a policeman, watch your words,\" Political Commissioner Zhao said with a dark face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Yang Wei finally knew fear and stopped talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had been watching Political Commissioner Zhao and Yang Wei in a heated argument without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, sorry to let you witness this,\" Political Commissioner Zhao said with a smile, his face calming somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commissioner Zhao, you are too kind, of course not,\" Ye Chen said with a smile. \"If my presence is causing problems for Susu, that wouldn’t be good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, how could it be? You’re certainly welcome; if it were someone else, there might be an issue,\" Political Commissioner Zhao replied jovially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Ye Chen waved a hand and said, \"I think it’s inappropriate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke while heading towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Political Commissioner Zhao was a bit stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached Ye Chen and asked, \"Mr. Ye, where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m, of course, leaving,\" Ye Chen replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, why say such a thing?\" Political Commissioner Zhao asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, he had said Ye Chen’s presence wasn’t an issue. So why did Ye Chen want to leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said with a smile, \"I think I should go, to avoid any case-related details from leaking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, I was just joking earlier. How could you possibly leak information, especially since you’ve helped the precinct solve many cases and received praise from the director,\" Political Commissioner Zhao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the case, he wanted Ye Chen to stay, as Ye Chen was well regarded by Director Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he let Ye Chen leave, and Director Zhou found out, he’d definitely be reprimanded for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Director Zhou was about to return soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think it’s a joke, but I took it seriously,\" Ye Chen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Director Zhou walked in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger Brother Ye, sorry about that, I had to step out to take care of something, leaving you waiting here,\" Director Zhou said with a smile to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Director Zhou return, Political Commissioner Zhao thought, \"It’s true, you dread something and it comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ye Chen could speak, Political Commissioner Zhao said with a smile, \"Director Zhou, why did you return so soon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Director Zhou had told Political Commissioner Zhao when leaving that he wouldn’t be back until the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it turned out he returned much earlier than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, everything went smoothly, so I came back early,\" Director Zhou said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Political Commissioner Zhao and asked, \"Commissioner, you’re here too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I heard Mr. Ye was here, so I rushed over,\" Political Commissioner Zhao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, we mustn’t neglect Mr. Ye; he’s helped solve a lot of cases for the precinct, and I specifically asked Captain Zhou to invite him for the recent murder case,\" Director Zhou said with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Political Commissioner Zhao’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out Director Zhou had asked Ye Chen to come, no wonder Zhou Susu was so self-righteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Director Zhou learned what happened just now, he’d surely be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Wei, seeing this, was also dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be so formidable, esteemed by Director Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about his foolish actions, Yang Wei regretted it, as he had spread rumors out of jealousy that Ye Chen was Zhou Susu’s boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Director Zhou found out about this, Yang Wei knew he’d be in serious trouble, and he even started to tremble at the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Zhou, you all talk; I’ll be leaving now,\" Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger Brother Ye, why are you leaving just when I arrived? Is there something urgent you need to attend to?\" Director Zhou asked Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to discuss the case with Ye Chen but didn’t expect Ye Chen to be in a rush to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have any urgent matter really; it’s more about the precinct not being too welcoming to me, considering I’m not a cop—it’s risky if case details get leaked,\" Ye Chen said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Zhou knew immediately there was an underlying meaning to Ye Chen’s words, likely related to Political Commissioner Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, why would you say such a thing? Even if you’re not a cop, you’re more capable than any of our precinct officers. We welcome you wholeheartedly, and we know you well enough to avoid any such problems,\" Political Commissioner Zhao said hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Really, Commissioner, that’s not what you said just now,\" Ye Chen looked at Political Commissioner Zhao and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Political Commissioner Zhao was already terrified, sweat covering his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>",1162,"2026-06-03T08:13:10.608Z","2026-06-03T08:13:15.868Z",1,"novelbin.me","a8b54d4f7b753fe18e1b3291237372be0065d96bd3b1069c195fb39ccec79574","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1239","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1237",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
