Chapter 367 - 367 356 353 Don't Even Think About It

367: Chapter 356 Chapter 353: Don’t Even Think About It 367: Chapter 356 Chapter 353: Don’t Even Think About It “Absolutely!” The Squad Leader said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect you to remember us!”

“Are you the Squad Leader of the Doomsday Family?!” Liu Zhinan’s eyes widened in shock.

“Haha…” The Squad Leader immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, saying, “It seems, today is not in vain since I saved your life!”

“You…” Liu Zhinan was stunned, quickly asking, “What…

what do you want to do?”

“Don’t you want to deal with Ye Chen?” The Squad Leader said with a faint smile, “I suppose you already know Ye Chen’s identity.

Now, there are only two paths before you, either be abolished by the Rothschild family; or betray the Rothschild family, and then follow my Doomsday Family.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Liu Zhinan immediately shook his head and said, “Although the Doomsday Family is ranked third among the hidden world’s secret families, its power is far too inferior to that of the Rothschild family.

If I were to join your Doomsday Family, my ultimate fate would still be inescapable, death!”

“That may not necessarily be the case!” The Squad Leader said with a faint smile, “While my Doomsday Family may not be powerful, it doesn’t mean we lack strength.”

The Squad Leader’s statement immediately left Liu Zhinan flabbergasted, and what the Squad Leader said next even more so dumbfounded him.

The Squad Leader looked at Liu Zhinan and sneered, “The Chaikefu family has now joined forces with our Doomsday Family; once the timing is right, we will be able to capture the Rothschild family in one fell swoop.”

“Haha…” Liu Zhinan suddenly burst into laughter, laughing heartily, “This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my lifetime.

Any insider knows that Leisure City is an island that is easy to defend but hard to attack, with your abilities, how could you possibly take down Leisure City!”

“Hmph, you don’t need to worry about that.

You just need to answer whether you are willing to join my Doomsday Family to take down Leisure City!” The Squad Leader’s voice was icy cold.

Liu Zhinan fell silent immediately.

If the Doomsday Family really had joined forces with the Chaikefu family, there might indeed be a chance against the Rothschild family.

On the contrary, the chance was significant.

Although the Rothschild family is known as the top among hidden families, years of complacent living have made the people of Leisure City accustomed to peace.

The Rothschild family’s internal management is also extremely chaotic, with three secret training bases scattered across the Pacific Ocean having already been exposed.

“Alright, I agree!” Liu Zhinan immediately nodded.

If he did not agree to the Squad Leader’s request, he would be put to death by the Rothschild family upon his return.

But if he accepted the Squad Leader’s request, he might be able to survive in the cracks.

Relying on his covert armed forces, he might be able to seize an opportunity to save himself.

With this thought, Liu Zhinan agreed to the Squad Leader’s proposal without hesitation.

“Very good!” The Squad Leader said with a faint smile, “From today onwards, you are a member of my Doomsday Family.”

“Thank you, Squad Leader!” Liu Zhinan bowed in gratitude.

“Haha…

Let’s go.

Today, we will not return until we’re drunk!” The Squad Leader immediately grasped Liu Zhinan’s hand with a satisfied expression and headed outside.

This was a secret base of the Doomsday Family, set up by the Squad Leader with the specific intent to retaliate against Tianya Group and to assassinate Li Tianya.

Now that Li Tianya was dead, the base hadn’t been evacuated, in the hopes of using it to fight Tianya Group and to kill Ye Chen.

The betrayal of the Liu Family did not cause any ripples within the Rothschild family.

Because of the recent turmoil, the Rothschild family had been significantly weakened, especially as the peripheral markets had been aggressively cornered by the Chaikefu family and the Doomsday Family, causing the Rothschild family to retreat at every turn.

Thus, the Rothschild family was not concerned about so much; they were completely in a state of shock.

…

The next day, Ye Chen, dressed in a proper suit, returned to his positions as Vice President of Tianya Group and General Manager of the Northern City District project branch office.

Ye Chen’s return brought great joy to many, while Li Ruo, the Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Chairman of Tianya Group, decided to host a welcome ceremony for Ye Chen.

Tianya Group’s dozens of staff, clad in neat uniforms, stood quietly at the entrance of Tianya Group, waiting for Ye Chen’s arrival.

These were all high-level executives of the company, including department heads and other leaders, standing in neat rows led by Li Ruo.

Ye Chen, leisurely driving an Infiniti, slowly pulled up to the door.

Upon seeing so many people gathered there as if to watch a spectacle, he hastily slipped through the side and dove into the crowd, randomly approaching an unfamiliar face, and asked, “Brother, what’s this all about?”

“No idea, I heard Mr.

Li is going to personally handle those who are late!” The stranger was likely new, or had very little interaction with Ye Chen — after all, Ye Chen had been gone for a month and a half, and most people were close to forgetting him.

“Oh shit, really?

Isn’t this targeting me?” Ye Chen was taken aback.

He guessed that in the entire company, he was likely the only one who was habitually late for work.

Glancing at his watch, “Oh shit,” it was already ten minutes past nine.

It seemed Li Ruo was not going to let him off the hook today.

Ye Chen decided to sneak in through the back.

However, just as he took his first step, a voice from behind immediately reached him.

Little Mei was waving at him from a distance and called out, “Vice President Ye, Vice President Ye.

You’re over here, Mr.

Li has been waiting for you for a long time!”

Little Mei, this cheeky girl, scampered over to Ye Chen and then tugged at his clothes.

Ye Chen, feeling resigned, allowed Little Mei to pull him step by step backward.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile, thinking, “Shit, looks like I can’t escape today’s calamity.

Since there’s no way out, I might as well face it head-on.” Ye Chen thought hard but couldn’t come up with a good plan.

At last, he was finally dragged by the mischievous Little Mei in front of everyone.

Li Ruo approached Ye Chen with a beaming smile and said, “Ye Chen…”

“Mr.

Li, I was wrong, isn’t that enough?” Ye Chen knew the tactic of striking first.

Admitting his mistake first often left a good impression, just like at the police station, where confession is met with leniency and resistance with strictness.

Self-confession usually leads to a lighter punishment, so Ye Chen immediately begged Li Ruo with a plea in his eyes, “I promise I won’t be late again.

Please don’t scold me in front of all these people!”

Li Ruo was taken aback and just about to explain when Ye Chen immediately put on a downcast face and said, “I know I was wrong before, I know I didn’t deserve the salary the company paid me, I know how terribly sorry I am for being late and leaving early, and for not living up to your expectations, Mr.

Li.

I swear I will work hard and study diligently every day.”

Pfft…

Li Ruo couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, “You idiot, what do you think I am?

I’m not here to criticize you today!”

“Ah?!

If you gathered everyone here not to criticize me, could it be that it’s for a reward?” Ye Chen was startled, and his eyes started spinning.

Li Ruo nodded and said, “Today is your first day back at your position, so I’m here on behalf of the board of directors, leading the heads of various departments from Tianya Group to welcome you back.

Consider it a celebration.

We hope you will get the Northern City District project back on track.”

“Haha, so that’s it.

If I had known this, I would have dressed a bit more flamboyantly!” Ye Chen felt suddenly light-hearted.

Shit, it turned out they were here to congratulate me, not to criticize me.

Where’s that guy?

Eh, that guy was just here, how come he’s gone now?

When I see that guy again, I’m going to give him a serious telling-off for daring to say they came to catch me for being late.

He nearly scared the life out of me.

“Idiot!” Li Ruo glared at Ye Chen, then laughed and said, “Now that you’re back at work, don’t you want to say a few words to everyone?”

“Um…” Ye Chen nodded and cleared his throat, but suddenly he didn’t know what to say.

After all, Ye Chen had never been a leader and didn’t have Li Ruo’s talent for speaking eloquently in front of a crowd.

Struggling for a while, Ye Chen puffed out his chest, showing a wild smile, and declared, “Comrades, Ye Chen is back!”

Haha…

A hearty laughter erupted from the crowd, and a young man shouted, “Vice President Ye, you said it wrong, the correct phrase is ‘I, Hu Han San, am back again!'”

“Haha…” Laughter broke out in the crowd once again.

Members of the first business team somehow got the news of Ye Chen’s return and hurried back one by one.

Among the crowd, a young man squeezed through, holding a briefcase, and shouted, “Ye Chen, I’m back too!”

“Yo, Liu Shang, why did you run off too?” Ye Chen laughed heartily.

“Exactly, Chen Qiong, Little Ai and the others all ran off!” Liu Shang laughed out loud.

At that moment, Chen Qiong and five other girls also returned in Tianya Group uniforms.

Curious, Ye Chen asked, “Where’s Fang Fei?

Where is she?

Why hasn’t she come back?”

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

No one spoke up.

Suddenly, Ye Chen had an ominous feeling and quickly pulled Liu Shang to ask, “Where’s Fang Fei?”

“Ye Chen, Fang Fei got hurt!” Liu Shang’s gaze darted away, as if he was trying to hide something.

“What happened?” Ye Chen asked urgently.

“Sigh, it’s a long story,” Liu Shang heaved a sigh and decided to spill it all at once.

The incident happened half a month ago.

Fang Fei, in her search for a well-paying job to support her family after leaving Tianya Group, started working at Bath City.

The salary at Bath City was indeed good, and although Fang Fei repeatedly clarified that she was not a “lady”, half a month ago, she got into trouble.

“What kind of trouble?

Just say it, don’t beat around the bush!” Ye Chen looked at Liu Shang anxiously.

After a deep sigh, Liu Shang said everything all at once.

One evening, half a month ago, while Fang Fei was washing feet for a man, he took a liking to her beauty and forcibly dragged her into a room.

Thinking that some money would make Fang Fei give in, he was still met with her refusal.

Ultimately, to satisfy his desires, he forced Fang Fei into the room.
