The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 434 - 434 421 Sniper

434: Chapter 421: Sniper 434: Chapter 421: Sniper “Someone!” Suddenly, a hidden sentry shouted loudly and decisively triggered the alarm.

Ye Chen was startled and dashed out quickly.

Thick smoke instantly filled the area where he had been.

Ye Chen rolled several times and rushed to the corner of the wall, his legs lightly touching the wall’s surface, propelling himself like parkour leaping from eave to eave.

Soon, over a dozen bodyguards rushed out from the villa with great speed.

“Damn it!” Holding a sniper rifle, he fired direct shots without a spotter.

Two bodyguards who had just come out of the gate immediately fell to the ground.

The bodyguards behind were stunned and exclaimed, “Not good, there’s a sniper outside.”

The bodyguards quickly shut the main gate.

At that moment, two dark shadows appeared on the villa’s terrace, each holding a long spear – undoubtedly snipers.

The best way to deal with snipers was to eliminate them with a sniper.

However, the quality of those two snipers was clearly poor, daring to expose themselves nakedly under Blacky’s gunpoint.

Bang…

Blacky didn’t hesitate and fired, sending the bullet in a beautiful arc, hitting one directly between the eyebrows.

With one shot, that person was knocked off his feet.

The other sniper immediately ducked for cover, ready to engage Blacky in a drawn-out battle.

However, Blacky wasn’t foolish; after covering Ye Chen’s successful retreat, the two quickly left the scene.

“Damn, that felt great!” Ye Chen ran while laughing heartily.

“What happened?” Blacky asked, puzzled.

“I killed a bodyguard, killed a Church Envoy,” Ye Chen said, looking at Blacky, “These two bodies are going to give Chen Nanfei quite a shock!”

“Ha ha!” Blacky burst out laughing.

Exactly, after Ye Chen’s successful retreat, the villa began to tally up the number of people.

They eventually discovered that a bodyguard and a Church Envoy were missing.

Chen Nanfei immediately ordered an investigation.

Soon, they found two bodies in a third-floor room.

Chen Nanfei rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing those two bodies nearly made him swear up and down!

“Damn it, who did this!” Chen Nanfei cursed fiercely.

“Gang Leader!” the assistant hurriedly said to Chen Nanfei, “If you ask me, those two men yesterday were very suspicious!”

“Are you talking about Hei Lang, and the guy who killed Blacky?” Ye Chen frowned.

“Exactly!” the other party nodded and said, “Apart from them, I can’t think of anyone else who could kill a Church Envoy!”

“Hmm,” Chen Nanfei nodded, then yelled fiercely, “Check it out, get that guy’s information from yesterday.

Make sure you clear it up, no matter what method you use.

I need that person’s information on my desk by tomorrow!”

“Yes!” The assistant nodded hurriedly, his face covered in cold sweat.

What a fool he was for touching such a sensitive topic.

If he hadn’t mentioned that it was the work of the man from yesterday, he wouldn’t have to go through the hassle of digging up the information now.

He felt somewhat helpless, but complaining now was useless, better just to investigate quietly.

Chen Nanfei had sworn a blood feud with Ye Chen now, a score that would never be settled.

After leaving the villa, the two returned to their humble abode.

Blacky walked around the house before opening the door, making sure everything he had set up was undisturbed, then unlocked and entered.

Ye Chen understood Blacky’s caution, coming as he did from the Special Forces, a background somewhat similar to his own past.

The two entered the house and immediately went to sleep, paying no heed to what the other might do.

…

At Tianya Group, Li Ruo stood by the office window, watching the drizzling rain outside.

Some things she could never forget.

Ye Chen had left, and in fact, on the day Ye Chen left, Li Ruo already knew this scoundrel was gone.

As someone she loved, how could she not pay attention to everything about him?

That day, while Li Ruo was at the airport seeing off someone, she saw Ye Chen boarding a plane to Shanghai with Feng Zhi Xiao and others.

Although she didn’t understand why they were going to Shanghai, Li Ruo didn’t go up to ask, merely standing silently in the airport hall, watching them pass the security check, then enter the departure hall, chatting and laughing.

Ye Chen had been gone for three days, and during these three days, Li Ruo felt as if each day dragged on like a year.

With Ye Chen gone, her smile had faded; everything seemed to have changed since his departure.

Dong dong dong…

A series of urgent knocks sounded.

Li Ruo was startled, then she quickly composed herself and said softly, “Come in!”

“Mr.

Li!” Lin Ziwen walked in cheerfully and said, “The representative from the American Apple Group is here, and they have something to discuss with you!”

“Ah?” Li Ruo was taken aback.

Apple Group was one of the top ten global corporations.

As a leading global corporation, almost on par with Microsoft, why would they come to her?

Could there be something important?

Li Ruo hurriedly said, “Let them in!”

“Yes!” Lin Ziwen nodded quickly.

Moments later, five people entered Li Ruo’s office.

The leader was dressed in a sharp white suit, while the four behind him wore black suits with diagonal-striped ties.

When Li Ruo saw the first man, she was dumbfounded, her pupils constricting.

Even as ashes, she would recognize this man, the one she thought she had forgotten.

Seeing him again, the impression was so deep, so heart-wrenching.

“Xiao Ruo, are you well?” the man said, revealing a smile bright as sunlight, his messy hair and chiseled features framing eyes as gentle as spring.

Standing at one eighty meters tall in a tailored suit, he looked even more striking and handsome.

“You…

you…

Kong Haoran!” Li Ruo exclaimed in shock at the man.

“So you still remember my name!” the man said with a light smile, then his expression changed as he said, “Sigh, after all these years, I thought I had forgotten you.

But in the end, I was just deceiving myself.”

“Haoran, what…

what are you doing here?” Li Ruo was feeling panicked, not knowing what to do.

She touched her cheek, suddenly realizing she might not have worn makeup.

A wave of alarm washed over her—oh God, how could I forget to wear makeup today?

Now Kong Haoran might see my bare face.

Women always believe that wearing makeup to meet people is more polite, and not wearing makeup shows disrespect.

Previously, Li Ruo always wore makeup; these past couple of days, with Ye Chen’s departure leaving a void in her heart, she had felt differently.

“Xiao Ruo, this time, I’m representing Apple Group to discuss investment opportunities with you!” Kong Haoran said calmly as he looked at Li Ruo.

“Talk…

talk about investment?” Li Ruo was genuinely nervous facing Kong Haoran.

Seeing her first love unexpectedly after nearly three or four years was a surprise.

This was more than Li Ruo had anticipated.

She thought to herself, could this be a test from God?

Just after Ye Chen left, Haoran came back.

“Uh-huh!” Kong Haoran nodded and said, “Xiao Ruo, even though I was heartless before, surely you don’t need me to stand while we talk, right?”

“Ah…

you, Ziwen, please entertain the guests.

I…

I’ll go to the lounge first!” Li Ruo ran to the lounge as if escaping.

Kong Haoran watched her leave, a sly smile on his face.

Then, under Lin Ziwen’s lead, Kong Haoran and the others sat down on the sofa.

The accompanying individuals had white faces—a rare sight of Asians leading Westerners, a moment of national pride, indeed.

Li Ruo rushed into the lounge, sitting at the vanity unable to move for a long while.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she always felt she had aged a lot compared to her younger days.

Li Ruo began to apply light makeup, setting her foundation.

After putting on makeup, Li Ruo appeared much more beautiful.

Looking at her reflection, she seemed somewhat more satisfied.

When she reappeared, Li Ruo’s appearance astounded the few men, especially Kong Haoran.

As an Easterner who had stayed in the West for a long time, he had never gotten used to Western aesthetic standards.

He had no interest in Western beauties—he still preferred Eastern beauties, like Li Ruo.

Back then, he chose to stay in the United States for his career, which was why he broke up with Li Ruo.

Now, thinking back, he seemed to have been foolish.

Li Ruo was such a beautiful woman; how could he have given her up?

Of course, part of the reason for their breakup was that Li Ruo had refused to give herself to him.

Men, after all, harbor a bit of possessiveness.

Not having attained her, he naturally felt deeply unsatisfied.

“Haoran, are you planning to invest in Jianghuai City or maybe in Tianya Group this time?” Li Ruo took a deep breath, regaining her composure.

Just seeing Kong Haoran again had made her heart flutter like a startled deer.

“Is there a difference?” Kong Haoran smiled lightly and said, “Currently, the economic market in Jianghuai City is largely controlled by Tianya Group, and then there’s Jiasiyang Group.

With Great Development Group gone, the landscape is mostly dominated by Tianya Group.

So, I believe investing in Jianghuai City is equivalent to investing in Tianya Group!”

“You flatter me too much!” Li Ruo chuckled and said, “Si Yang Group is very strong.

Right now, they’re just biding their time.

I’ve always believed they are a sleeping tiger.

Once awake, they will surely rise.”

“What do you know?” Kong Haoran was taken aback.
