In Xiao Qingxues office, the atmosphere turned peculiar as Chen Luo casually took out his phone, put on headphones, and started playing games.
Xiao Qingxue continued her work, ignoring the two disruptive presences in her office, while Ye Chen grew increasingly restless, sensing something unfavorable might be happening.
Could it be that something happened to Muer and the others? Ye Chen pondered, his intuition kicking in.
He stood up, intending to step out and call Muer to check on their situation.
As Ye Chen made his move, Chen Luo suddenly stood up and followed him outside. Despite appearing engrossed in his game, Chen Luo had been closely monitoring Ye Chen.
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and turned to face Chen Luo, his suspicions growing. He had initially just suspected that something might have happened to Muer and his group, but now he was convinced that their misfortune was related to Chen Luo and that Chen Luos main purpose here was to keep an eye on him.
Asshole, tell me, did you harm my men? Ye Chens eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Chen Luo, the blood vessels in his eyes clearly visible.
Im starting to wonder if you have some kind of supernatural intuition. Impressive, you guessed right, Chen Luo responded, not surprised that Ye Chen had figured it out. Such radar-like abilities were not unusual for a protagonist to possess.
Unfortunately, even though you know, you cant save them. I guess theyre not far from death now, Chen Luo declared, making it clear that he was there to block Ye Chen.
Dont bother trying to make a call. Theres a signal jammer, you wont get through, Chen Luo remarked casually, watching Ye Chen attempt to use his phone.
Chen Luo made no move to stop him.
As expected, Ye Chen couldnt get through. By this time, Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju had already made their move. The combat prowess of Muer and his team was formidable, but they stood no chance against Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju. The two womens strength was on par with Ye Chen, making the annihilation of Muers team a simple task.
The first to fall was Byers, who died instantly from a gunshot to the head. The others, too afraid to show their faces, hid.
Vincent, are you alright?
Apart from the deceased Byers, Vincent was also injured, having been shot in the abdomen.
I wont die from this. We underestimated their strength, Vincent grunted. Accustomed to the dangers of the battlefield, he wasnt fazed by his wound.
You two go ahead, I cant move. Ill hold them off for a while.
Despite his bravery, Vincent was pessimistic about his chances of escape, especially after witnessing how swiftly Byers was killed. Had Muer not pulled him away in time, he would have been shot in a vital area instead of his abdomen.
Take care of yourself, Muer said hesitantly, patting Vincent on the shoulder.
Muer, are you really going to leave Vincent here to die? Harvey reacted with urgency, placing great value on his comrades.
We have to leave Vincent behind, if we dont, none of us will make it out alive. We need to survive to avenge them, Muer said solemnly to Harvey.
You wont escape either, a voice from behind startled them, and they turned to see two guns aimed directly at them.
It seems well have to leave the revenge to the boss, Muer said, lifting his gun.
But as he did, three gunshots rang out, and Muer, Vincent, and Harvey each had a bullet hole in their forehead, not even having the chance to fire back.
The disparity in combat strength was glaring. Even if the entire mercenary group, excluding Ye Chen, had been there, they wouldnt have been a match for Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju.
After leaving the scene, Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju reported back to Chen Luo. On receiving the notification, Chen Luo smiled.
CEO Xiao, I wont disturb you any longer, he said and left Xiao Qingxues office.
Xiao Qingxue watched his retreating figure for a long time before turning away.
Once Chen Luo had left, Ye Chens expression turned dark and foreboding. He understood what Chen Luos departure meant. His men were dead. Clenching his fists so tightly they cracked, Ye Chen managed to restrain himself from attacking. He had suffered at Chen Luos hands more than once and knew that any physical confrontation would only result in his loss.
As Chen Luo reached the ground floor, he encountered someone familiar.
Young Master Luo, are you here to pursue Xiao Qingxue again? Chen Luo asked Luo Zixuan with a mocking tone.
Luo Zixuan just huffed at Chen Luo. Their relationship had deteriorated since their last encounter, and given Luo Zixuans temperament, it was already a surprise that he hadnt caused more trouble for Chen Luo, let alone pay him any attention.
Young Master Luo, just a heads-up, Ye Chen is currently in Xiao Qingxues office, and now hes her bodyguard again. Be careful, or he might give you a hard time, Chen Luo warned.
With Ye Chen currently on edge, there was a real possibility he might lash out at Luo Zixuan, especially since Luo Zixuan wasnt accompanied by his usual bodyguard, Ah Da.
After his fallout with Chen Luo, Luo Zixuan lost trust in Ah Da and stopped bringing him along. If it werent for Luo Zixuans concern for his own reputation, he might have even returned the goods he got from Chen Luo.
You mean Ye Chen is in Xiao Qingxues office? Luo Zixuan paused for a moment before swiftly heading toward Xiao Qingxues CEO office.
I bet this wont end well for him, Chen Luo mused, wondering if an angry Ye Chen might actually kill Luo Zixuan in a fit of rage. It all depended on Ye Chens self-control. If he lost it, he might really end up killing Luo Zixuan.
That would be quite a spectacle. With all of Ye Chens men wiped out and Bai Meixiangs people keeping an eye on him, Chen Luo felt quite relaxed about dealing with this protagonist for now. Of course, he wouldnt truly be at ease until Ye Chen was dead.
Chen Luo drove away, while Luo Zixuan, accompanied by two men, barged into the Yongqiang Building and headed straight for Xiao Qingxues office.
Qingxue, when did you return? Why didnt you tell me? Was it Chen Luo who kidnapped you? If it was him, I will never let him get away with it.
Luo Zixuan looked at Xiao Qingxue with concern, exhibiting an almost sycophantic demeanor.
Get out, Ye Chen said coldly to Luo Zixuan.
What are you to order me around? Luo Zixuan bristled with anger upon hearing Ye Chens command to leave.
I dont want to say it a second time. Get out.
At that moment, Ye Chens expression was terrifying, his eyes fierce enough to send chills down Luo Zixuans spine. The intense killing intent made Luo Zixuans legs tremble.
Luo Zixuan glanced at Xiao Qingxue, not wanting to lose face in front of her, which would only lower her opinion of him further.
Im talking to your CEO, what right do you, a mere bodyguard, have to tell me to leave? Even Xiao Yongqiang wouldnt dare to tell me that.
With a loud thud, Ye Chens actions spoke louder than words. He kicked Luo Zixuan out with a force much greater than before, causing Luo Zixuan to spit out blood and faint.
CEO, hes not going to die, is he? Xiao Li, the assistant, was visibly shaken and nervously looked at Xiao Qingxue.
Hes not someone you hit, even if he dies, its not your fault. Why are you nervous? Xiao Qingxue remained calm.
Xiao Li sneaked a glance at Xiao Qingxue, sensing a significant change in her demeanor compared to before. Indeed, after such an ordeal, it would be strange if she hadnt changed at all.
In Xiao Qingxues office, the atmosphere turned peculiar as Chen Luo casually took out his phone, put on headphones, and started playing games.
