He had guessed that this would be his response, so he had deliberately stitched the eavesdropping device into the inner pocket of his clothes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan’s eyes darkened slightly, but he maintained his composure and said, "Nowadays, dubbing technology is so advanced that if you found someone to imitate my voice, wouldn’t I be wronged for no reason?"

Unexpectedly, he was so eloquent, and Ye Rui’s complexion changed.

Just as it seemed that Ye Yan was about to turn the situation around, Ye Jiuliang remained as calm as ever, casting a glance at Ji Mingqian. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Ji Mingqian understood and smiled, straightening up and walking in front of Ye Rui, his well-defined hand open.

"The chip, please."

Ye Rui was slightly stunned but then looked at Ye Jiuliang. Seeing she had no reaction, he unhesitatingly placed the chip into Ji Mingqian’s hand.

Ji Mingqian played with the chip in his fingers, a mocking smile with a hint of nonchalance on his lips.

"Whether it’s a voice imitation or not, that’s easy to verify—I have a way to test it."

With that, he turned his head to Ye Yan, "No matter how similar a voice is, it can’t be flawless and exactly like yours. The frequency, the pitch, and so on—these are things others can’t perfect."

Ye Yan furrowed his brows slightly, afraid that Ji Mingqian was bluffing him, but he steadied himself, unruffled.

Ye Jiuliang then said, "Ye Rui, go get a computer for him."

Ye Rui nodded and ran upstairs to fetch a computer.

Meanwhile, everyone exchanged glances, and the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward for a moment.

With nothing else to do, Ye Jiuliang glanced at Ye Xin’s flat shoes, then her gaze travelled up, but not to the usual tight-fitting skirts she wore. Instead, a billowy skirt perfectly concealed her abdomen.

After observing closely for a moment and noticing that Ye Xin occasionally caressed her abdomen, a flicker of realization crossed Ye Jiuliang’s eyes.

Pregnant before marriage, it seemed she was keeping it a secret from old Mr. Ye and the others.

If she knew that Li Jingjie was seeing other women behind her back, she might not even keep the baby.

At this moment, Ye Rui, with the computer in hand, hurried down the stairs.

"Here."

Ji Mingqian reached out to take the computer, settling himself unceremoniously on the couch. He placed the computer on the table, inserted the chip, and his hands moved rapidly over the keyboard.

Everyone knew that Ji Mingqian was a celebrity, but they never knew he possessed this hidden talent, and they were all slightly surprised.

In contrast, Ye Jiuliang appeared nonchalant, as if she had long been accustomed to it.

It wasn’t long before Ji Mingqian’s fingertips paused. He then turned the computer toward the Ye family, the screen facing them.

On the screen were green frequency bands and many complex codes, which they couldn’t understand at all.

Before their confusion could settle, Ye Yan’s voice suddenly emanated from the computer.

"Ye Lei will be back tomorrow. He’s planning to meet a business partner first, and on his way back, he will pass through the North Section of the West Suburbs on that road. Just wait there, and when the time comes, you can pretend to be unable to catch a ride. It will be enough for you to take his carpool back home."

Immediately following that was Ye Rui’s voice, "Why should I do that?"

"Ye Rui, you should know that those who strive to achieve great things inevitably have to pay any price. Your abilities are no less than Ye Lei’s, and when the opportunity comes, you need to grasp it yourself."

"What if something really happens to Ye Lei?"

"I will make them strike without endangering his life; at that moment, all you need to do is testify that it was Ye Jiuliang who instigated this."

"With only witness testimony and no physical evidence, I’m afraid it will be hard to incriminate Jiuliang."

"You don’t need to worry about that. As long as something happens to Ye Lei, and with your testimony, the old master will surely start to doubt Ye Jiuliang. Then, with just a little provocation from us, Ye Jiuliang won’t be able to escape the accusation of attempting to harm Ye Lei."

That tone and timbre were unmistakably Ye Yan’s.

"I recorded a couple of sentences while you were speaking just now. These two waveforms are the speech rate, frequency, and timbre identification from when you were speaking; the top one is from the chip, and this one is from you just now. The two waveforms overlap perfectly," Ji Mingqian said, pointing at the screen and explaining in a casual tone.

Ye Yan’s eyes darkened slightly; he wished dearly that he could get rid of Ye Rui immediately.

This time, he admitted he had misjudged, raising a tiger that turned into a threat.

Upon hearing this, everyone unconsciously stared at the computer screen, and as Ji Mingqian had said, the two green waveforms matched perfectly.

Xiang Zhen was the first to be overwhelmed by the shock. She walked unsteadily to Ye Yan, grabbed his arm, and looked bewildered, "Ye Yan, it’s not like what he said, right? It was all Ye Jiuliang’s doing, wasn’t it?"

Although he had been foolish and had other women outside in the past, he had always been a good father. She couldn’t believe he would do such a thing.

Ye Yan lowered his eyes to look at her, still unwilling to admit it even at this point, "It wasn’t me. If you believe them, then it’s as if our many years of marriage were a sham."

Xiang Zhen was taken aback by his words, and the doubts in her eyes were dispelled somewhat. She turned back to look at Ye Jiuliang, remembering Jiuliang was always cunning and scheming, and in the end, she chose to believe Ye Yan.

"Ye Jiuliang, you are clearly trying to drive a wedge between my husband and me."

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow; being so foolish, it seemed beyond cure.

She didn’t bother to engage, instead turning to look at Elder Ye, her voice clear and cold, "Let’s take this opportunity today to clear up some matters." She slowed her speech, "First, I will definitely take my mother’s ancestral tablet with me today; second, since you already suspect that I schemed against Ye Lei, that’s fine; after this matter is cleared up, I and the Ye family will sever ties, from today onwards the Ye family is the Ye family, and I am me, with no more relations."

Upon hearing this, Elder Ye’s face darkened, and he strode forward, stopping in front of her, "Jiuliang, what are you saying? I haven’t concluded that it was you who schemed against Ye Lei. Why do you speak so absolutely?"

Ye Jiuliang didn’t want to continue this topic and turned her head towards Ye Yan, "You don’t admit it, that’s fine. I can have someone look into the individuals you sent to attack Ye Lei. I believe this special assistant and Ye Rui would also recognize their faces."

"Go ahead and search, I haven’t done anything; being guilt-free, why should I fear your little tricks," said Ye Yan calmly.

Ye Jiuliang took out her phone, sent out a message, and then gave Ji Mingqian a look.

"Aqian, run to the hospital and bring Ye Lei over here, let him identify the person himself, to prevent some people from denying it later on; after all, the testimony of one’s own son is conclusive evidence."

Ji Mingqian got the hint, stood up, and walked away.

"Ye Jiuliang, what are you trying to do? My son is still unconscious; are you trying to take his life?" Xiang Zhen, fearing Ye Lei’s condition would worsen, attempted to stop what was happening with all her might.

Ye Jiuliang gave her a cold glance and said indifferently, "Don’t you want your son to wake up?"

Xiang Zhen was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

Ye Jiuliang moved her gaze away without wanting to explain, "Stay quiet, unless you don’t want to seek revenge for your son."
