Chapter 1108

When Ye Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked: "It's been nine days, why haven't you let her go yet? Didn't I say seven days?"

Hong Wu said somewhat embarrassedly: "Master Ye, I felt that I could only let her go if you gave the nod. I didn't dare to make a decision on my own..."

Chen Zekai on the side exclaimed: "Hong Wu, why haven't you let her go yet? The eldest lady has a terrible temper. If you don't let her go on time, watch out for her coming back to take revenge on you!"

Hong Wu chuckled, scratched his head and said: "That... I wasn't thinking, Master Ye has been in Japan saving Miss Song for the past few days, and then he had to travel back by boat, he must be very busy, so I didn't call to ask Master Ye for instructions on this matter, I wanted to wait until you came back to tell you."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Fine, then let her go."

Hong Wu hurriedly said: "Understood, Master Ye, I will arrange it right away."

Chen Zekai said to Ye Chen at this time: "Young Master, I think it's best if you go there yourself and tell the eldest lady clearly that delaying her release by two days was your idea. Otherwise, once she returns to Yanjing, she will definitely seek revenge on Hong Wu."

Hong Wu said without hesitation: "Revenge on me? Let her bring it on! I, Hong Wu, am someone who has already died once, I won't be afraid of her!"

Chen Zekai waved his hand and said seriously: "You don't understand the eldest lady's style of doing things. She is particularly vengeful and has a wide variety of methods. If it were the Young Master who offended her, she certainly couldn't do anything to the Young Master, but if it were you who offended her, she wouldn't just be looking for trouble with you, she might not even spare your family and friends."

When Hong Wu heard this, he suddenly felt a bit nervous.

But he didn't want Ye Chen to look down on him, so he bit the bullet and said: "It's fine, I, Hong Wu, wasn't scared into this!"

Chen Zekai couldn't help but sigh.

He understood Ye Zhangmin's personality too well.

Ye Chen originally let Ye Zhangmin stay there for seven days, but Hong Wu let her stay for nine days, so she must hate Hong Wu to the bone.

Ye Chen had the strength and the Old Master's favoritism, so she certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to Ye Chen, but she would definitely not let Hong Wu off.

Otherwise, she would have nowhere to vent the anger she suffered in Jin Ling.

Therefore, it was out of concern for Hong Wu that he suggested Ye Chen take the blame for him.

After all, Ye Chen had already offended Ye Zhangmin to death, and Ye Chen's mother-in-law, Ma Lan, had also given Ye Zhangmin a beating. With such a big grudge already there, this small matter of detaining Ye Zhangmin for two extra days seemed insignificant.

Ye Chen laughed at this time and said: "Anyway, lice don't bite when there are too many, I'd better go see my aunt myself!"

When Hong Wu heard this, he knew that Ye Chen was prepared to block this matter for him, and he felt extremely grateful in his heart.

Therefore, he hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Sorry, Master Ye, Hong Wu has caused you trouble."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Oh, don't say that! You are doing things for me after all, how can you say you are causing me trouble."

Having said that, Ye Chen said to Chen Zekai: "Old Chen, prepare the car, let's go over together!"

"Understood, Young Master!"

Ye Zhangmin was currently in the rental house, cursing at the top of her lungs.

"Ye Chen! You bastard who doesn't keep your word! Seven days have long passed, why don't you let me out!"

"And you bunch of Ye Chen's lackeys! You won't let me out, right? Once I get out, I'll settle the score with you one by one!"

"Do you really think I, Ye Zhangmin, am made of mud? Hurry up and let me out!!!"

The more Ye Zhangmin cursed, the more agitated she became, and she suddenly started coughing incessantly: "Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... If you don't let me out, I'll throw you all into the Yangtze River to feed the fish! I want to kill you all, kill you all, and make sure you never be reincarnated!"

It was no wonder Ye Zhangmin was hysterical. For nine days, living in a place for the lowest-end population, she was on the verge of a complete breakdown.

Plus, Jin Ling was located south of the Yangtze River, and it was damp in winter. The rental house she lived in had no air conditioning and no heating. Every day, she could only wrap herself in a damp quilt and wipe away tears on the bed.

From the very first second she moved in, she had been looking forward to escaping as soon as the seven-day period expired.

But she didn't expect that after finally surviving seven days, Hong Wu was actually unwilling to let her go.

For Ye Zhangmin, this was not just anger, but also full-blown fear.

She was afraid that Ye Chen would suddenly go back on his word, that the seven-day deadline would be void, and then he wouldn't give her a clear date, just keeping her under house arrest here indefinitely.

Therefore, she cursed like a madwoman every day, just to attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors, attract the attention of 110, and put pressure on Ye Chen and Ye Chen's lackeys to release her as soon as possible.

However, she didn't know that Hong Wu had already moved all the surrounding neighbors away yesterday.

This self-built building, including the landlord, had a total of thirty households. Now, except for Ye Zhangmin, everyone else was enjoying themselves in a free five-star hotel.

Therefore, no one paid any attention to Ye Zhangmin's shouting.

Until her throat was almost hoarse, no one paid any attention to her, not even a neighbor or a police officer came to ask.

Extremely depressed, Ye Zhangmin immediately took out her mobile phone and sent a video call to her father, Old Master Ye Zhongquan, who was far away in Yanjing.

Once the video was connected, Ye Zhangmin cried and said: "Dad! Hurry up and tell that bastard Ye Chen to let me go... I really can't take it anymore... If you don't let me out, I might as well just die here... Wuwuwu..."

Old Master Ye Zhongquan in the video sighed helplessly.

He knew Ye Zhangmin's personality very well and knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to do anything to commit suicide or self-harm, so he said seriously: "Zhangmin! Don't be so agitated! Hasn't it only been two days? Be patient, Chen'er certainly won't keep you locked up forever, maybe he'll let you come back in these two days."

Ye Zhangmin cried and said: "Dad! You don't know how I've spent these nine days! I can only spend my days listening to those mindless CEO novels on my phone... I've grown up so much, when have I ever suffered such grievances, Dad! If you don't go find that bastard Ye Chen, he won't let me go now, and he might not let me go tomorrow either. What if he keeps me locked up here forever?"

As she spoke, she begged bitterly again: "Dad, I beg you, just give him a call and tell him to let me go back quickly!"

Ye Zhongquan said seriously: "Zhangmin, it was not easy for me to get Gu Yanzhong to persuade Chen'er to agree to come back for the Ancestor Worship Ceremony during the Qingming Festival. This matter is extremely important to the Ye family, so there must be no mistakes. If your affairs cause Chen'er to change his mind again, that would definitely be a huge loss for the Ye family!"

Ye Zhangmin finally understood now.

It turned out that the Old Master was unwilling to put pressure on Ye Chen, mainly because he was unwilling to offend Ye Chen for her sake!

Thinking that even her own father couldn't be relied upon, Ye Zhangmin was suddenly extremely sorrowful and cried: "Dad! What if Ye Chen never lets me go, what should I do?"

The Old Master hurriedly said: "Oh Zhangmin, if Chen'er still doesn't let you go by the Qingming Festival, then Dad will definitely ask him for an explanation."

Ye Zhangmin suddenly collapsed: "Dad! The Qingming Festival is in April, that's almost two months away!"
