The man's voice was deep and magnetic, but what truly made Ye Zexi's heart skip a beat was the content of He Jinyun's words.

Ye Zexi's heartbeat quickened for a moment, and without thinking, he instinctively placed a hand over his chest. Before he could dwell on it further, the doorbell rang.

Ye Zexi had no choice but to set down his phone and answer the door. Gao Shu had arrived.

Just then, Wen Tong also messaged Ye Zexi, saying they had found Tang Jing and provided an address.

Without hesitation, Ye Zexi forwarded the message to He Jinyun and arranged to meet him at the bar. He then left with Gao Shu.

The bar was only a 20-minute drive from Ye Zexi's home, and He Jinyun said it would take him about 30 minutes to get there.

As expected, just two minutes after Ye Zexi arrived at the bar, He Jinyun also showed up.

Wen Tong was already waiting for them at the entrance. When she saw He Jinyun, she was momentarily surprised but didn't ask any questions, simply saying, "Thank you both. Follow me."

The group arrived at the door of a private room. As soon as the door was pushed open, the strong smell of alcohol hit them.

Ye Zexi instinctively wrinkled his nose.

The table was littered with bottles—red wine, white liquor, and some mixed drinks. Who knew how much Tang Jing had consumed?

As soon as they entered, they saw Tang Jing slumped on the couch, his assistant busy taking care of him.

Hearing the commotion at the door, both the assistant and Tang Jing looked up.

When Tang Jing saw He Jinyun at the door, a wave of anger surged in his chest. But before he could let it out, his gaze shifted slightly and landed on Ye Zexi, standing just behind He Jinyun.

The anger that had flared up instantly dissipated.

Of course. Why would He Jinyun come to mock him? He was probably here with Ye Zexi.

Knowing that Ye Zexi had come to check on him, He Jinyun must have felt the need to accompany him. Anyone would.

After all, Ye Zexi was such a kind person. Even knowing that Tang Jing was drunk and out of control, he would still come to see him.

Tang Jing looked away, feeling a lump in his throat, unwilling to meet the eyes of the people at the door.

Wen Tong sighed helplessly and was the first to enter. "Tang Tang, let's go home, alright?"

Tang Jing remained silent.

Ye Zexi sighed inwardly as well, walking over and asking softly, "Are you okay?"

Okay? Not at all.

Tang Jing pressed his lips together, not wanting to speak, exuding an air of refusal to communicate.

But that attitude wasn't for everyone.

The moment Tang Jing heard Ye Zexi's voice, he nearly lost control of his emotions.

His eyes reddened, and he quickly turned his face away, refusing to look at Ye Zexi.

Gao Shu and Yu Ye exchanged glances and quietly left the room.

At this moment, He Jinyun stepped in, glancing coldly at Tang Jing slumped on the couch. He frowned and spoke calmly, "Do you have any idea how much damage your post on Weibo is causing—to both you and the company?"

Tang Jing clenched his teeth, remaining silent.

Ye Zexi shot a look at He Jinyun.

He Jinyun gave him a reassuring glance. Seeing that Wen Tong wasn't speaking either, Ye Zexi decided to stay quiet.
