The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 201 - 201 193 190 Go Where You Must

201: Chapter 193 Chapter 190: Go Where You Must 201: Chapter 193 Chapter 190: Go Where You Must Yes, Ye Chen understood, but he could only feign ignorance, even if Li Ruo asked him such questions, he had to play dumb.

Ye Chen had a metric in his heart and knew what to do at what time.

At least before he regained his memory, he would not allow himself to accept any woman.

Even Li Ruo was not an exception.

Ye Chen feared that he had too powerful enemies behind him, and he was afraid that he lacked the strength to protect others.

Seeing Ye Chen fall silent, Zhang Yantong continued, “If I leave, will you miss me?”

“Where are you going?” Ye Chen was startled.

“To the place where I belong,” Zhang Yantong sniffed.

The bright moonlight showered on her cheeks, and the silver moonlight shone on Zhang Yantong as if it bathed her in a halo of sanctity.

From the corners of her eyes, two crystal-clear tears fell, shimmering like eight-carat diamonds — a girl’s tears are each a diamond, and a girl’s heart, a heart of glass.

“Are you leaving Jianghuai City?” Ye Chen was startled again.

“Yes!” Zhang Yantong nodded and said, “I feel so tired here.

I thought that as long as I worked hard, I could change a lot.

But I’ve realized that no matter how hard I try, some things can never be changed.”

“It’s because of Yan Bu’er’s case, isn’t it?” Ye Chen exhaled a cloud of turbid breath.

Zhang Yantong did not answer; she just looked up at the moon in the sky, dazed, naïve, and somewhat carefree.

But she possessed a most righteous heart.

Ye Chen chuckled and said, “Some things aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface.

You are too young, that’s why you can’t see through them.”

“Hmph, as if you’re so mature.

You look about the same age as me.

Really!” Zhang Yantong huffed, disdainful of Ye Chen’s pretense at depth.

“Hahaha…” Ye Chen laughed heartily.

“I’ve already decided, I’m leaving Jianghuai City next week!” Zhang Yantong put on her crystal sandals, then walked over to Ye Chen, sat down beside him holding her knees, and said, “I’ll go back by my father’s side, even if it’s by relying on my father’s connections.

I want to pursue my dream, not just for myself, but for the country, for the nation.”

“Can’t you not leave?” Ye Chen suddenly felt reluctant.

“I…

I’ve made up my mind!” Zhang Yantong bowed her head.

Beside her, Ye Chen sighed and said, “Since you’ve decided, then go.

Just let me know the day you leave, and I’ll see you off.”

Zhang Yantong fell silent.

She did not know, nor did she dare to know if Ye Chen tried to dissuade her at that moment, whether she would agree to him — to stay for him.

Hastily, Zhang Yantong discarded the complex thoughts swirling in her mind and leaned against Ye Chen’s back.

The two, back to back, formed a lonely scene.

Ye Chen had his concerns, and Zhang Yantong had hers.

They sat there quietly, each thinking about the other, yet unwilling to speak.

The night was silent.

The peaceful night seemed touched with a trace of desolation.

“It’s late, and it’s getting cold.

Let me take you home,” Ye Chen turned and looked at Zhang Yantong.

“Hold me,” Zhang Yantong said bashfully.

Ye Chen nodded, then stood up, knelt on one knee on the ground, and declared, “Princess, please let me take you home.”

Pfft…

Zhang Yantong covered her mouth and laughed, then nodded and said, “My most loyal knight, thank you for your bravery.

Now, I am willing to entrust my life to you.”

“Haha, Princess, come home with me, let’s get married!” Ye Chen picked Zhang Yantong up in a princess carry, then walked step by step towards the Oto car.

Zhang Yantong pouted her red lips and said, “If you really can take me home to get married, see if Li Ruo won’t beat you to death!”

Ye Chen dared not make a sound but placed Zhang Yantong in the passenger seat, then jumped into the driver’s seat and swiftly drove away.

The roaring sound of the car was particularly noticeable, the rate of turning heads extraordinarily high.

Fortunately, it was night, so without the traffic police, Ye Chen directly drove Zhang Yantong to the police station apartments where she lived.

“Goodnight!” Ye Chen waved his arm toward Zhang Yantong.

“Sure, good night!” Zhang Yantong quickly blew Ye Chen a kiss.

Ye Chen flashed a grin, then with a swerve, sped off.

The car, like an elf, flew through the air and vanished near the police station apartment in the blink of an eye.

Ye Chen rushed to Jianghuai Prison overnight.

The gatekeeper let him through immediately upon seeing him, as Dian Ling had already ordered that if it was Ye Chen, he could be let through without any registration or obstruction.

“Hey, Brother Chen, why does the car feel different from before?” asked a curious prison guard at the gate.

“I modified it, gave the car a new heart!” Ye Chen grinned, then handed out cigarettes to the two men.

The guards at the door hurriedly took the cigarettes with both hands, then laughed, “Just listening to the sound, I can tell it’s a nice upgrade.”

“Alright, carry on with your work.

I’ve got some business inside!” Ye Chen drove through.

“Take care, Brother Chen!” The two prison guards quickly nodded and waved at Ye Chen’s retreating figure, cozying up to Ye Chen was as good as cozying up to the Prison Director, possibly earning a promotion some day.

Inside the prison, everyone knew that Ye Chen and Dian Ling were involved, so the guards treated Ye Chen as a second Prison Director, nodding and bowing whenever they saw him.

Ye Chen drove straight in and, with the guidance of the prison guards, entered the cell block, going directly to cell 305.

Inside were Da Xia and Haozi, along with Liu San.

The three were already asleep, though Haozi and Da Xia woke up soon after.

These two were particularly sensitive to their surroundings.

Hearing footsteps in the corridor, they immediately opened their eyes and looked at each other.

Da Xia was the first to leap down from the top bunk, landing on Liu San’s bed below, as light as a swallow without disturbing Liu San.

Liu San, deep in sleep, was mumbling in his dream: “Babe, come with big brother, big brother will give you candy…”

Haozi also climbed down from the head of the bed, both men gripping steel pipes, then hiding behind the door.

Creak…

The iron door of the cell opened, and then a voice reached the ears of Da Xia and Haozi: “Brother Chen, please come in, these two guys are probably asleep!”

“Haha, I doubt that, they’re surely ready to greet us with sticks!” Ye Chen laughed heartily.

Da Xia and Haozi were stunned, they quickly grabbed their steel pipes, then switched on the light and grinned, “Brother Chen, what brings you here?”

“I’ve come to you guys for some business!” Ye Chen pulled them out into the corridor and seriously instructed them on a matter, causing them to pause slightly before nodding in agreement.

Under the dim corridor light, they huddled together, discussing an important matter.

The light stretched their shadows very long, very long…

Suddenly, Liu San poked his head out of the cell and said, “Brother Shrimp, what are you guys doing?”

Everyone was taken aback, Ye Chen’s eyes even flashed with a murderous intent.

Haozi quickly said, “Brother Chen, don’t worry, he’s sleepwalking.”

“Sleepwalking?!” Ye Chen was startled, seeing Liu San’s eyes slowly opening, looking very vacant.

He immediately relaxed his guard, then said, “Remember, no word of this must leak out, however big this can get, let it get as big as possible, remember it must be kept secret!”

“Don’t worry, Brother Chen, we will definitely handle it!” The two nodded gravely.

This time, Ye Chen intended for them to record all of Yan Bu’er’s criminal activities, including his interactions with some important officials, all of which must be documented.

Ultimately, the information would either be spread through the internet or sent directly to the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

Of course, the most critical task was to retrieve the two orphans from the orphanage.

The mission was indeed a formidable one.

However, Ye Chen believed that Da Xia and Haozi could complete it.

Leaving the prison was again in the early hours of the morning, Ye Chen glanced at the sparsely starry and moonlit sky, then exhaled a warm breath before swiftly driving towards Xin Hai Apartment.

The next morning, it was yet another bright morning, but today was a shocking day for everyone in Jianghuai City.

Jiang Zhonggen, who was rumored to be promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee, had been taken away by the Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

This news was like a heavy bomb dropped on the tranquil Jianghuai City, leaving the citizens in awe.

That day’s newspapers were all sold out, and the newspaper office kept calling for more prints.

It was said that today’s newspaper sales had reached a hundred thousand copies, which was definitely thrilling news for a regional publication.

When Ye Chen descended from the apartment, the door guard was so engrossed in a newspaper that he forgot to open the door for Ye Chen.

“Hey, man, open the door!” Ye Chen shouted.

“Oh, right away!” The guard hurried over pressing the button, and as Ye Chen was leaving, he distinctly heard the guard mutter, “These days, political struggles are so fierce, even Jiang Zhonggen got arrested!”
