Amid Pang Jun's astonishment.

Ye Chen's face darkened as he recounted his reunion with Lin Mengxi after ten years of separation.

He even revealed the events involving Lin Mengxi from back then.

Upon hearing this, Pang Jun was utterly stunned.

Yet, he muttered in disbelief, "She was with my district mayor father in the woods during high school? Then... why was there a sign of virginity last night?"

"Surgical restoration isn't exactly cutting-edge technology," Ye Chen shook his head.

Hearing this, Pang Jun almost slapped himself in frustration.

Last night, he had been overwhelmed with excitement over that trace of red, even vowing to never betray Lin Mengxi, no matter the cost.

But was this the truth behind it all?

"However, the restoration probably wasn't meant for you. Given her scheming nature, she likely intended to use it as a bargaining chip to climb higher," Ye Chen said.

After speaking, Ye Chen paused and shook his head again. "Now isn't the time to discuss this. The priority is to get you out of her trap! I won't let you bear the injustice of being framed, not even for a few days in jail, let alone years!"

Pang Jun smiled bitterly. "It's useless. Under the current law, unless I can prove I didn't force myself on her, her accusation will stand. If you really want to help me, get me a good lawyer."

Ye Chen didn't respond.

His mind raced furiously.

Suddenly, he recalled a habit Pang Jun had in his previous life.

Pang Jun had a tendency to install cameras in his bedroom, in very discreet locations.

Though others might not understand, it wasn't a strange quirk.

He once explained that his rented home had been burglarized, and despite reporting it to the police, there had been no results.

As a result, he installed cameras in his house—everywhere except the kitchen and bathroom.

In his words, "It's not about the loss of property. I just don't want those burglars to get away with it."

His stubbornness led him to maintain this habit.

However, Ye Chen wasn't sure if Pang Jun had already developed this habit at this point.

Still, he tentatively asked, "Old Pang, do you have cameras in your bedroom?"

"Huh?" Pang Jun was startled.

Subconsciously, he responded, "How did you know I have cameras in my bedroom?"

His expression grew curious as he looked at Ye Chen.

How could Ye Chen know about this habit of his?

"You mentioned it before—after your rented place was burglarized, you started installing cameras at home," Ye Chen blurted out without thinking, relieved internally.

If there were cameras in the room, the situation could be resolved.

"Did I say that?" Pang Jun froze.

Indeed, after being burglarized during his first year of work, he started installing cameras.

Even after moving several times, installing cameras remained a top priority.

"You mentioned it in the lab once," Ye Chen added.

"Did I?" Pang Jun frowned, unable to recall.

But the next second, his eyes lit up, and he became excited.

"Old Ye, I almost forgot about the cameras! Are you saying the footage could clear my name?"

"The key is whether the footage works in your favor. But regardless, this is your best shot at proving your innocence!"

As Ye Chen finished speaking, the office door burst open.

It was Chen Yinuo, looking anxious.

Behind her stood several police officers.

"Old Ye..." Chen Yinuo's voice trembled slightly.

Ye Chen's expression shifted as he nodded solemnly.

Before he could speak to the officers, they immediately surrounded Pang Jun.

"Mr. Pang Jun? We've received a report accusing you of sexual assault. Please come with us for investigation," said the leading officer.

Even though Pang Jun had mentally prepared for this, his face still turned pale, and his heart pounded violently.

He swallowed hard and nodded blankly.

At the same time, another officer pulled out a pair of gleaming handcuffs, reaching for Pang Jun's wrists.

"Officers," Ye Chen interjected, "taking Pang Jun in for questioning is fine, but aren't the handcuffs a bit unnecessary at this stage?"

The lead officer smiled slightly.

"Mr. Ye, we all respect Yi Ren Ru Xue. After all, your company's scar removal product has benefited many of our colleagues and is highly effective. The fact that you've kept the price at three to four hundred yuan shows great integrity, which earns our respect. But rules are rules. Wearing this uniform means following protocol."

After saying this, he glanced around the office.

Spotting a light jacket, he walked over, picked it up, and draped it over Pang Jun's cuffed hands, concealing the handcuffs.

"Mr. Ye, is this acceptable?" the officer asked.

Ye Chen nodded despite his dissatisfaction.

"Thank you for understanding," the officer said, gesturing for the team to escort Pang Jun out.

Just as they began to leave, Pang Jun suddenly stopped.

"Wait!"

The officers frowned.

Pang Jun looked at Ye Chen and hurriedly said, "Old Ye, the house keys are on my desk! The camera is hidden in the top compartment of the wardrobe. You can pull the hard drive from the study computer to access the footage, or view it directly—password 142839! Please... try not to let too many people see it."

The officers' expressions shifted again.

The lead officer, however, silenced them with a glance.

"Got it!" Ye Chen nodded firmly.

"If I get through this, she'll pay for setting me up!" Pang Jun gritted his teeth.

"Understood," Ye Chen responded seriously.

"Shall we?" the lead officer asked, ensuring respect was maintained.

Pang Jun nodded and walked out, no longer needing to be pushed along.

With a blank expression, he left the company, stepping into the police car under the astonished gazes of his colleagues.
