The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 160 - 160 154 151 I

160: Chapter 154 Chapter 151: I…

Like You 160: Chapter 154 Chapter 151: I…

Like You The typhoon swept through, shrouding the land in gloom, virtually everything that could be blown away was carried off by the storm, and nearly everything that could be uprooted was torn from the ground.

A tree thick enough to require two arms to embrace was toppled by the typhoon not far from where Ye Chen and the others were, shocking Ye Chen on the spot.

The power of nature truly was extraordinary.

Ye Chen looked up at the gloomy sky and thought to himself, “Damn heavens, don’t tell me you’re going to take Ye Chen’s life today?”

Boom…

A loud crash sound echoed as a massive tree trunk hurtled directly toward Ye Chen and the others.

Startled, Ye Chen quickly let go, barely missing being blown away by the typhoon.

He decisively wrapped his arms around Li Ruo from behind, using his solid back to shield her from the assault of the tree trunk.

Pfft…

As the tree trunk smashed violently into Ye Chen’s back, he spat out a mouthful of blood that splattered on the nape of Li Ruo’s neck.

Li Ruo cried out, “Ye Chen!”

“Xiao Ruo, take care, I…

like you!” Ye Chen seemed to have a premonition that his time was running out.

When the tree trunk smashed into his back and head, he felt a fierce pain that spread throughout his body, almost as if he had lost all sensation from head to toe.

He mustered all his strength to utter those words.

As the typhoon passed, Ye Chen was whisked away like a drifting piece of white paper.

“Ye Chen!” Li Ruo screamed with a heart-wrenching cry.

Lin Ziwen clearly saw how Ye Chen took a heavy hit to protect Li Ruo, then was carried off horizontally by the typhoon.

Her heart was incredibly shaken—so on this earth, there truly was a love called sacrifice.

Ye Chen sacrificed himself for Li Ruo.

He used his own life to shield her from that deadly strike.

Lin Ziwen’s eyes widened as she watched Ye Chen being carried into the sky, murmuring to herself, “Ye Chen…”

A surge of regret suddenly welled up inside Li Ruo.

She regretted being so fierce toward Ye Chen on ordinary days; regretted not telling Ye Chen in time that she liked him, too.

Tears streamed down her face as she reached out, hoping to pull Ye Chen back, but alas, he had already vanished from sight.

Typhoons come quickly, and they leave just as fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already left without a trace.

Thanks to Ye Chen’s method and the protection of the ropes, Lin Ziwen and Li Ruo were not blown away by the typhoon.

If not for that, the two of them would hardly have escaped catastrophe today.

After the typhoon passed, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.

The sun reappeared in people’s view.

Li Ruo untied the ropes and quickly jumped down from the tree, then frantically searched for any sign of Ye Chen.

“Ye Chen…

Ye Chen, where are you?” Li Ruo sobbed.

In that moment, she realized Ye Chen’s importance.

He was like an inseparable shadow in her heart.

She remembered his smile, the hint of mischief at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, Li Ruo discovered her feelings for Ye Chen were so profound, so irresistible.

If she could turn back time, she would never let Ye Chen leave her side.

On another side, Zhang Yantong and her team finally managed to get an assault boat from headquarters and crossed the river with its help.

When they reached the opposite shore, they were confronted with the scene of devastation.

Trees were down, houses collapsed.

“Captain Zhang, there’s a noise over there!” Fang Qin pointed to another place.

“Let’s check it out immediately!” Zhang Yantong hurried over.

There, they encountered Li Ruo, who was searching for Ye Chen.

After some questions, Zhang Yantong immediately realized the trouble—Ye Chen had been blown away by the typhoon, which was a shocking revelation.

She quickly directed Fang Qin and the others, saying, “Hurry, start searching for Ye Chen immediately.

The typhoon went from southeast to northwest, we’ll search in the northwest direction!”

“Yes!” Fang Qin and the others nodded.

Then, they began their search for Ye Chen, but unfortunately, after several hours of frantic effort, there was still no trace of him.

Li Ruo had cried until her tears were dry, her voice hoarse from crying.

Lin Ziwen stayed close by her side, fearing that Li Ruo might encounter some misfortune.

Li Ruo’s hair was disheveled, her clothes torn by branches, and she looked as if she had been forcefully subdued against her will.

“Over here…” Suddenly, a voice arose.

Zhang Yantong was startled and immediately stood up.

Everyone ran over together and found Ye Chen’s whereabouts near a rock not far from the foot of the mountain.

Ye Chen’s clothes were torn all over, having been as if amidst blades during the hurricane, eventually landing in front of this huge rock.

With Lin Ziwen’s support, Li Ruo ran swiftly over to Ye Chen’s side.

She lifted Ye Chen’s head, sobbing, “Ye Chen, open your eyes and look at me, Ye Chen, wake up, please!”

At this time, Ye Chen’s eyes were tightly shut, and his breathing was faint.

“Let me see!” Zhang Yantong hurried over and then reached out to check Ye Chen’s breathing, finding that it was very weak.

She immediately panicked, “This is bad, Ye Chen’s breathing is too faint, we must rush him to the hospital!”

“But how can we walk on such a road?” Fang Qin was startled.

“I’ll carry him!” Zhang Yantong clenched her teeth and immediately placed Ye Chen’s arm over her shoulders, then lifted him up, carrying Ye Chen on her back.

The surrounding policewomen and Li Ruo were all shocked.

Zhang Yantong’s own size was probably less than a hundred pounds, yet she was carrying Ye Chen who weighed a good one hundred and fifty pounds.

That required a lot of strength.

Zhang Yantong gritted her teeth and decisively carried Ye Chen, then step by step headed toward the assault boat’s dock.

Li Ruo assisted Zhang Yantong on the side, the two women understanding each other without words.

Zhang Yantong was gasping for breath, Ye Chen was simply too heavy, even though she exercised regularly, she had never been as tired as today.

Not only was the weight of Ye Chen on her back heavy, but even the road ahead was difficult to traverse, everywhere blocked by huge rocks and trees lying across the road.

After an enormous effort, Zhang Yantong finally carried Ye Chen to the dock of the assault boat.

By this time, Zhang Yantong was already pale, looking utterly exhausted all over.

“Quick, get on!” Zhang Yantong shouted.

Fang Qin and the others quickly jumped onto the assault boat, fortunately, there were only seven people.

The boat sped towards the opposite shore, the flood had not yet receded, the boat was fast, cutting through the waves, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the other side.

With the help of several women, Ye Chen was finally lifted onto a vehicle.

Zhang Yantong left two policewomen to guard the assault boat, took Li Ruo and Lin Ziwen, and quickly stepped onto the vehicle, then headed towards Jianghuai City Central Hospital.

However, they soon discovered their mistake, the city was already submerged by the flood, streets were filled with cars that had been forced to stop, water had risen above the rooftops, and people inside the cars had climbed onto the roofs waiting to be rescued.

“Damn it, how can this be happening?” Zhang Yantong cursed through clenched teeth, soaked to the skin, her hair sticking to her forehead, she glanced back at Ye Chen, then slammed her foot on the accelerator, the car quickly surged through the knee-deep floodwater, circumventing that deep water area.

Then they continued forward, but after a few steps, they found that the road was blocked, Jianghuai City had been completely paralyzed.

“Captain Zhang, it seems we can’t use the roads in Jianghuai City anymore!” Fang Qin glanced at her.

“We should have brought the assault boat, that would have made it possible!” Lin Ziwen quickly reminded.

Zhang Yantong paused, it seemed Lin Ziwen had a point.

Then, the group turned back, placed the assault boat on top of the car, and then sped towards the city center.

Reaching the downtown area, they directly dropped the boat, then stepped onto the assault boat, racing towards Jianghuai City Hospital.

Along the way, those standing on the rooftops desperately waved to Zhang Yantong and others, shouting, “Help, please help, officer comrades!”

But Zhang Yantong didn’t pay any attention to them and continued to move ahead.

Finally arriving at the city center hospital, they found that the first floor of the Jianghuai City Hospital was already flooded.

The group drove the assault boat directly into the first floor, then carrying Ye Chen, they climbed the stairs to the second floor.

The hospital was still operating normally, with lots of motorboats or assault boats continually gathering here, bringing patients or those in need of help for rescue.

Although the lobby of the first floor was submerged, the second, third, up to the tenth floor were all working as usual.

Zhang Yantong urgently sought out Director Qian, who was extremely busy, but when he saw Zhang Yantong arrive, he immediately put down what he was doing to take in the patient, Ye Chen.

After an examination, Director Qian casually said, “The patient’s condition is fair; the main issue is damage to the back of the head.

After my inspection, there was already a blood clot accumulation at the back of his head from earlier, so this patient might have amnesia.

This time the back of the head has suffered another heavy blow, and the situation is quite severe.

He needs to rest for some time to see how things go, and if necessary, we’ll have to perform a craniotomy!”

“Ah?!” The women were all shocked.
