The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 4: Anyway This Guy Has No Mouth

Chapter 4: Anyway This Guy Has No Mouth

Kill who? Tell me exactly who you want to kill? The officer slammed the table hard, suppressing the furious Gu Qingyang.

He then warned: This is a police station. Behave yourself.

She took my phone… Gu Qingyang tried to defend himself.

The police officer: What about her taking your phone? Didn’t you unlock it and give it to her yourself?

Gu Qingyang: …

He fell silent.

Ye Jin smiled cheerfully to smooth things over: Officer, please don’t be angry. We were just fooling around – he’s all talk.

The officer’s expression finally softened, though this was directed solely at Ye Jin.

He remained stern with Gu Qingyang, warning before leaving: You’d better watch your language.

After the statements were taken, Ye Jin and Gu Qingyang were placed in a detention room.

Over an hour later, the door opened.

Several unfamiliar young faces filed in, their clothing clearly marking them as wealthy.

The police officer asked Gu Qingyang: Do you know them?

Gu Qingyang: …Yes.

Alright, stay in this room then. The officer left them there with a final reminder: Don’t start fighting.

With that, the door closed.

Gu Qingyang’s mood was extremely complicated at that moment.

He still couldn’t figure out what Ye Jin was trying to accomplish.

She’d promised to help him save face.

So how did ending up in a police station accomplish that?

Gu Qingyang?

The leader of the group recognized him.

This was a trendy young man with blue-dyed hair, wearing a black studded crop top and matching fashionable cargo pants, quite handsome too.

The trendy youth laughed when he saw Gu Qingyang, plopping down beside him and asking: How did you end up here too?

Gu Qingyang glanced at Ye Jin.

Didn’t dare to speak.

Ye Jin smilingly answered for Gu Qingyang: Nothing serious, just posted some inappropriate videos online and got caught by the officers.

What about you? Ye Jin very naturally followed up, How did you get here?

Gu Qingyang’s eyes widened instantly, looking at Ye Jin with shocked disbelief.

How they got here – aren’t you the one who should know best?

Ah, don’t even mention it. The trendy youth missed their exchange, leaning back casually and stretching his long legs as he said, Some bastard posted my street racing videos online and specifically wrote captions taunting traffic police. So here I am – the others just came to keep me company.

Chang Sheng grew angrier as he spoke: Damn, if I find out who did it, I’ll beat the crap out of them.

How could this happen?

Ye Jin expressed shock like someone hearing gossip, giving a perfect performance as she sympathetically said, You’ve hit some bad luck – plagued by villains.

Those two phrases hit right home for the trendy youth.

He slapped his thigh: Exactly!

Using this topic as a springboard, the two chatted more and more congenially. The trendy youth proactively said: I’m Chang Sheng, what’s your name?

Ye Jin also extended a hand: Ye Jin.

Their hands briefly clasped in front of Gu Qingyang.

Gu Qingyang: … …

He looked at Ye Jin with renewed awe.

As Chang Sheng and Ye Jin chatted happily, he found Gu Qingyang sitting between them increasingly irritating.

So he directly pointed at Gu Qingyang and said: I knew I shouldn’t have brought him along. Can’t do anything right – even driving a car ends in trouble. Damn, what bullshit!

Others nearby chimed in:

Yeah, before Gu Qingyang came along, we could have fun just fine no matter what.

If you can’t fit in, Gu Qingyang, I’m telling you, stop forcing it. Give us a break, I’m begging you.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingyang had long lost the arrogant demeanor he had earlier. Listening to their relentless accusations, he couldn’t utter a single word in response.

Ye Jin thought to herself: Success.

She had finally pinpointed the root of the problem.

It aligned closely with her suspicions.

Gu Qingyang resorting to such extreme methods to get money couldn’t just be about buying a car.

After all, no matter how expensive, it was just a car. If Gu Qingyang were emotionally fulfilled, he would never have resorted to such undignified means to obtain money.

Unless Gu Qingyang was facing a more severe emotional crisis than this.

Such as being excluded from his social circle.

Like now—even with the entire club busted, they only thought about pushing Gu Qingyang out of their group.

Gu Qingyang believed that buying the car would solve everything and allow him to rejoin them.

But in reality, it was just a temporary fix that worsened the underlying issue.

Enough arguing!

A police officer pushed the door open, his uniform radiating authority as he dispelled the tense atmosphere in the room. Everyone, quiet down.

He then pointed at Ye Jin and Gu Qingyang: You two, come out. Someone is here to bail you out.

After today’s ordeal, Gu Qingyang had reached the depths of despair.

He had long lost the energy to put up a defiant front and trailed dejectedly behind Ye Jin as they exited.

Once outside, Ye Jin immediately spotted a figure in a black suit. He stood out prominently, even among the uniformed officers.

He was bent over, signing a document, the left sleeve of his suit revealing half of an expensive wristwatch.

Those hands looked familiar.

Ye Jin led Gu Qingyang over.

Opposite Gu Chenxi stood a policewoman in her thirties or forties.

After Gu Chenxi finished signing, the officer collected the paperwork and began advising—or warning—him to keep a closer eye on his subordinate and brother.

Gu Chenxi listened with his gaze lowered.

Only when a response was unavoidable did he nod.

Initially, the officer’s tone toward Gu Chenxi was relatively mild.

But as he continued nodding without speaking, her dissatisfaction grew.

What’s with this attitude? Why so indifferent? the policewoman said, her sense of duty evident. Let me be clear—don’t think just paying a fine and taking them away means it’s no big deal. This is a lighter administrative penalty because it’s their first offense. If it happens again, the consequences will be much more serious. You can’t afford to be careless, understand?

Yet, the response was another nod.

What’s going on with you? the officer questioned, slightly irritated. You’re a decent-looking young man—how can you be so rude?

No, that’s not it.

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Ye Jin quickly stepped in to smooth things over: My boss, he… umm.

She gestured toward her throat, hinting at a disability.

The officer’s tone softened instantly. He has a disability?

Ye Jin responded with a somber nod.

The officer immediately felt remorseful and apologized profusely.

It’s fine, just a misunderstanding. Clearing it up is what matters, Ye Jin quickly reassured her. My boss is used to it; he won’t mind.

That’s a relief, the policewoman said, sighing with relief and apologizing again repeatedly.

Ye Jin felt a gaze bearing down on her from above—tangible and heavy, impossible to ignore.

She looked up and met Gu Chenxi’s scrutinizing eyes.

This was also the first time Ye Jin got a clear look at her top boss’s appearance.

What an impeccably clean face it was.

Clean in every sense—superior bone structure, smooth facial contours, a purely handsome look.

Moreover, he carried an innate composure cultivated by wealth since childhood, balancing between worldly sophistication and refined elegance, making his handsomeness profoundly substantial.

Perhaps accustomed to being in charge, his gaze naturally carried authority. Being stared at by him like this, anyone with the slightest insecurity would feel diminished in his presence.

But it didn’t matter.

Ye Jin wasn’t afraid at all—after all, this man didn’t have a mouth and couldn’t do anything to her.

She met his gaze with complete calmness, even raising an eyebrow with a see how clever I am expression.

Just as Ye Jin expected, though Gu Chenxi’s face clearly showed disapproval, he never spoke up to contradict her.

It was as if he was born without a voice function—his beautifully shaped lips remained quietly closed, serving as nothing more than an attractive ornament.

However.

Ye Jin inexplicably felt that, though he didn’t speak, he didn’t seem as easily manipulated as Gu Qingyang.

After signing the documents and paying the fine,

Ye Jin and Gu Qingyang regained their freedom.

Ye Jin asked the police officer, May I ask how those street racers will be dealt with?

Driving without a license plus speeding—fine over two thousand. Fortunately, there were no accidents, or it would be detention instead of just a fine, the officer said. The ringleader needs to find a guarantor, then pay the fine before he can leave.

This was exactly what Ye Jin was waiting for.

She pulled Gu Qingyang over: He’s friends with them. Do you think he can serve as the guarantor?

In the detention room.

I’ll pay the fine myself and write the guarantee, but I won’t call anyone, Changsheng told the police. My family members are elderly—they can’t handle being disturbed this late at night.

Changsheng: If that’s not acceptable, just detain me.

The others chimed in loyally: We’re all accomplices. If you’re detaining anyone, detain us all together.

The officer had a headache.

Working overtime late at night was bad enough, but dealing with this group of troublemakers made it worse.

As the stalemate continued, the detention room door cracked open. Before anyone appeared, they heard the voice of the imposing police officer: Changsheng’s guarantor is here.

The door soon opened fully, revealing Gu Qingyang standing behind the officer.

…Hi.

Gu Qingyang greeted them somewhat awkwardly.

Changsheng: …

Get lost, Changsheng said impatiently, shooing him away. Since when do I need your help?

He seemed to thoroughly look down on Gu Qingyang.

The officer showed no leniency, stating coldly: If not him, then who? Feel free to call your family right now and have them come get you.

Changsheng immediately fell silent.

The officer continued sternly: You’re not a first-time offender. If we don’t handle this severely, you’ll dare to do it a third time!

So from the police perspective, the more displeased Changsheng appeared about the punishment, the better it served their purpose.

Changsheng remained defiant: Then why can he be the guarantor?! He just got bailed out himself.

The officer opened his mouth to explain, but then suddenly swallowed his words.

Why could Gu Qingyang be the guarantor?

Because their arrest was thanks to Gu Qingyang’s tip-off.

That probably shouldn’t be mentioned.

The officer fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

It was this brief pause that allowed Changsheng to suddenly grasp at a spark of insight flashing through his mind.

You…

Chang Sheng’s imposing aura remained undiminished, but the finger pointing at Gu Qingyang trembled slightly. So it’s you… it was you all along…

Gu Qingyang was utterly terrified at this moment.

He instinctively tried to retreat, only to feel Ye Jin’s firm presence blocking his escape.

Standing behind him, Ye Jin gave a soft, deliberate cough as a reminder.

The sound snapped Gu Qingyang back to reality.

He looked at Chang Sheng, his lips twitching several times before finally settling into a meaningful, knowing smile.

The expression seemed to slowly say: Ah, so you’ve found out.

.
Chang Sheng’s lips trembled with rage.

Remembering they were in a police station, he consciously suppressed his emotions, reminding himself to stay calm and composed.

His companions quickly gathered around to soothe him.

Deep breath.

Another deep breath.

Calm down.

But calm was utterly impossible.

Rage burst through its restraints, and the police station once again echoed with a thunderous roar:

GU QINGYANG!!!! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!
