The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 350 The Secret We Cannot Tell

Chen Bin had just returned to his office when Tan Rongxi came over quickly.

"What should we do about the Ye Pei case?"

Without any hesitation, Chen Bin said directly,

"Announce a county-wide manhunt. A reward of thirty thousand for anyone providing information. A reward of one hundred thousand for directly apprehending him and bringing him to the police station. Also, send a few people to the County Hospital to protect Cai Lixia, to prevent Ye Pei from harming her again."

At this point, Chen Bin also issued a warning.

"Do not try to play any tricks in this matter, or it won’t do you any good."

"I understand! Ye Pei has gone too far. After all, they’re husband and wife. How could he treat Cai Lixia like that? I will treat this as a major case and won’t let the perpetrator go!"

Just as Tan Rongxi left the office, he received a call from Ye Hong.

"Come to my office now!"

In fact, after Cai Weiguo left last night, Ye Hong had already contacted Tan Rongxi.

When he learned that Ye Pei had almost killed Cai Lixia and Fan Qin, he was dumbfounded.

If he wanted to get back at Cai Lixia, there were many ways to do it.

Why choose such an extreme method that would destroy himself in the process?

When Tan Rongxi entered the office, Ye Hong immediately asked,

"I saw Chen Bin just talked to you. Is he asking you to arrest Ye Pei?"

"Yes, he also told me to treat it as a major case."

With a sneer, anger flared up in Ye Hong’s eyes.

"Looks like the child in Cai Lixia’s belly is probably Chen Bin’s! That bastard just wants to take revenge for his woman and child!"

Tan Rongxi didn’t hold back either and spoke bluntly.

"The main issue is that Ye Pei went too far. He not only almost strangled Cai Lixia, which could’ve ended in two deaths, but even Fan Qin almost died at his hands. This case must be dealt with seriously!"

"What? Are you really thinking of arresting Ye Pei?"

Faced with Ye Hong’s fury, Tan Rongxi showed no fear at all.

"I can refrain from arresting him, but do you think he can escape? Let’s not even talk about Chen Bin. If you were Cai Weiguo and your wife and child were nearly killed, would you just let it slide?"

With a deep sigh, Ye Hong realized that Ye Pei would no longer have a place in Dragon Mountain going forward.

But he still couldn’t help but ask unwillingly, "Is there really no room for maneuver?"

Tan Rongxi shook his head slightly. "He’s burned his own bridges. No one can save him now, and you’d better also focus on calming Cai Weiguo down. Otherwise, you and your wife will be in danger too."

After finishing, he turned and left directly.

After work that evening, Ye Hong asked his secretary to buy various nutritional supplements and personally delivered them to the County Hospital.

When Cai Weiguo saw Ye Hong, he immediately stood up in anger.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Hong smiled ingratiatingly, putting on a conciliatory expression.

"I came to visit my in-law and Lixia."

"You don’t need to. You’re not qualified!"

Dropping his smile, Ye Hong said seriously,

"Honestly, I despise men who hit their wives. Even though Lixia is carrying someone else’s child, there were other ways to handle this. What Ye Pei did was unforgivable. On his behalf, I apologize to your family."

Snorting coldly, Cai Weiguo responded with disdain.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do. You’re just making excuses for Ye Pei, trying to turn this into a simple case of domestic violence. Then let me ask you: what about what he did to my wife?"

"Old Cai, you and I have been brothers for so many years. Just do me a favor and spare Ye Pei this time."

Clenching his fists tightly, Cai Weiguo spoke venomously.

"Sorry, but we’ve never had any brotherly feelings between us!"

Rubbing his swollen forehead, a flash of malice flickered in Ye Hong’s eyes.

But it was quickly concealed by a smile.

"I know you’re angry right now. I’ll come back when you’ve had time to cool down."

After placing the nutritional supplements on a chair, Ye Hong turned and left.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, his face darkened completely.

Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Cai Weiguo kicked them all to the ground in one motion.

Immediately after, he called Chen Bin.

"Ye Hong has an illegitimate daughter with Cui Yongjuan!"

Cui Yongjuan was also a deputy magistrate in Dragon Mountain County and had always been loyal to Ye Hong.

Chen Bin had long suspected there was something unusual about their relationship and had even asked Tan Rongxi to investigate.

But the latter had claimed there was nothing special between them.

Now that Cai Weiguo and Ye Hong were at each other’s throats, it was clear that Tan Rongxi must have lied before!

Chen Bin immediately asked, "What’s the name of their daughter, and how old is she?"

"She should be about six or seven years old this year. As for her name, I don’t know."

"Does Cui Yongjuan have any other children besides this illegitimate daughter?"

"She has another daughter, probably around twenty years old, who is currently living with her ex-husband."

"Does anyone else besides you know about this?"

After some thought, Cai Weiguo confidently answered,

"Besides me and Tan Rongxi, no one else should know."

"Do you know where the child currently lives?"

"I don’t. I only know about this because Tan Rongxi drunkenly told me once. He and Ye Hong were like brothers before, so he knows a lot of secrets."

"Alright, I understand!"

After hanging up, Chen Bin immediately contacted Tan Rongxi and asked him to join him for dinner at a private room in a guesthouse.

By the time Tan Rongxi arrived, the food was already served.

After eating for a while, Chen Bin suddenly asked,

"Do you know what kind of people I enjoy dealing with the most?"

Without hesitation, Tan Rongxi blurted out,

"Smart people!"

"It’s indeed easy dealing with smart people, but there’s another kind I like even more. Guess again."

After some thought, Tan Rongxi hesitated and shook his head.

Chen Bin sneered, "I like dealing with honest people the most. Are you honest?"

"Of course I am! Ever since I chose to side with you, I’ve guaranteed that every word I say is truthful!"

"Does this include the relationship between Ye Hong and Cui Yongjuan?"

"Absolutely..."

Before Tan Rongxi could finish, Chen Bin picked up his wine glass and threw the contents in his face.

"I’ll ask you one more time: what exactly is the relationship between Ye Hong and Cui Yongjuan?!"

"Well..."

Wiping his face, Tan Rongxi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Chen Bin pressed further, "They should have an illegitimate daughter together, right?"

Hearing this, Tan Rongxi was shocked. "How do you know?"

Sneering, Chen Bin questioned,

"Didn’t you claim to be honest? I trusted you, yet you turned out to be a double agent!"

"No, I’m not a double agent! If I betray you, may I die a horrible death!"

"Spare me the drama! From now on, I can never trust you again."

Seeing how disappointed Chen Bin looked, Tan Rongxi quickly tried to explain.

"I may have lied about the relationship between Ye Hong and Cui Yongjuan, but everything else I’ve told you is true. If I were really a double agent, would Ye Hong be in such a disadvantageous position?"

"Then tell me, why did you hide Ye Hong and Cui Yongjuan’s relationship?"

Taking a deep breath, Tan Rongxi seemed extremely hesitant.

Chen Bin continued, "I invited you tonight to give you one last chance. If you don’t cherish it, there are plenty of others who can replace you. Replacing you is as easy as snapping my fingers."

Hearing this, Tan Rongxi grew visibly more anxious.

Even so, he still didn’t spill the truth outright.

Seeing this, Chen Bin grew even more curious.

If Tan Rongxi was already defecting, why was he still hiding things for Ye Hong?

This matter clearly wasn’t simple...
