The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 573: Chapter 554: Riyadh

After leaving Tianya Group, Ye Chen had originally planned to visit Si Yang Group for a while, but he thought there was nothing much to do there. The general manager at Si Yang Group handled everything, and as the chairman, he could very well be a hands-off leader.

Ye Chen drove around Jianghuai City, and somehow, unwittingly, he ended up parked in front of Night Color Bar. The bar was closed, but Ye Chen saw two busy figures inside. That was when he realized that the two young girls were moving liquor and drinks inside.

"Do you need help?" Ye Chen immediately walked in.

"Ah, Mr. Ye, you’re here?" The two girls smiled instantly. Having someone like Ye Chen to help was thrilling for them. They happily asked, "Mr. Ye, could you help us move these boxes of drinks behind the bar?"

"Of course!" Ye Chen was more than willing. In no time, he had moved all the boxes. The girls were thrilled to have such strong help without needing to lift a finger themselves. They quickly poured a glass of water for Ye Chen and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye!"

"By the way, have you heard anything from Ms. Yan lately?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Ms. Yan, well, ah, ever since she entrusted the bar to us, there has been no word from her!" The two sighed and helplessly added, "We transfer the earnings into Ms. Yan’s account promptly every month, but her phone is unreachable. However, there’s no trace of her!"

"Alright, I got it!" Ye Chen nodded, gulped down the water, and then smiled, "You go ahead with your work, I’ll be leaving now!"

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Ye!" The two girls quickly waved at Ye Chen.

Leaving Night Color Bar, Ye Chen grew increasingly worried for Ms. Yan. It had been over a month since Ms. Yan had bid him farewell and left Jianghuai City. Where could she have been all this time? For the first time, Ye Chen felt a profound worry coming from within.

Thinking this, Ye Chen immediately thought of a crucial person—Yang Guang, the head of Weisheng Club!

The only reason he knew about Ms. Yan’s background was through Yang Guang. So, at this moment, Ye Chen thought of Yang Guang and without any hesitation, he pressed the accelerator and sped toward Weisheng Club. He parked his car at the entrance of Weisheng Club.

Ye Chen pushed the door and entered.

"Sir, may I ask who you are looking for?" A waiter hurriedly came up to inquire.

"I’m looking for your manager, Yang Guang!" Ye Chen replied immediately.

"Do you have an appointment?" Yang Guang, having quite the clout in high society, normally needed appointments for meetings. Scrunching his brows, Ye Chen said, "Tell him Ye Chen is here!"

"Okay!" The waiter nodded promptly.

Soon after, the waiter returned and ushered Ye Chen in. Yang Guang was sitting in a corner of the bar, holding a crimson glass of red wine, with his back to Ye Chen, seeming to savor the wine. He suddenly laughed, "Ye Chen, you should have come half a month ago!"

"Why?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

"Being half a month late shows that Ms. Yan is nothing more than a tool for venting to you!" Yang Guang suddenly poured half a glass of wine onto the ground, then stood up, smiling as he looked at Ye Chen, "Just like this wine—once tasted, it can be poured away."

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen frowned and asked, "How do you know I came looking for Ms. Yan?"

"Of course, I know. Because I am a superpower user!" Yang Guang poured himself another half glass of wine and said, "Let me tell you, you may never see Ms. Yan again!"

"Impossible!" Ye Chen’s pupils dilated and his heart raced. Could Ms. Yan be in trouble?

"Ms. Yan went missing during a mission in the Middle East!" Yang Guang gently swirled the wine in his hand. Ye Chen, stunned, clenched his fists tightly, "Then why aren’t you people looking for her?"

"The superiors decided to abandon the search to avoid exposing our identity and the Chinese Dragon Group," Yang Guang said, his lips curling into a bleak smile, as if mocking or deriding something.

Bam...

Ye Chen threw his fist hard, striking Yang Guang’s handsome face. Yang Guang fell backwards, the wine glass flung high into the air, crashed against the wall, and shattered.

The people inside the club gathered around when they saw what happened.

"How did Yang Guang get beaten up?"

"That guy seems to be Ye Chen, I recognize him, he’s the Gang Leader of Heavenly Reversal Gang!"

The crowd discussed fervently; both their identities were peculiar and special, so no one dared to intervene. They just watched from the side. Yang Guang didn’t fight back, letting Ye Chen vent his anger.

"Damn it, why don’t you guys rescue her, why don’t you?!" Ye Chen swung his fist again, smashing it hard into Yang Guang’s chest.

"This is the organization’s order, do you think I don’t want to?" Suddenly, Yang Guang exploded, and with a fierce kick, he sent Ye Chen flying through the air, crashing against the wall with a loud bang. The entire wall shook violently.

"What about the organization’s order? Orders are dead, but people are alive!" Ye Chen, gritting his teeth, charged at Yang Guang again.

The two gentlemen, who appeared very cultured, started wrestling in front of everyone—pulling hair, choking necks, poking eyes, and picking noses. It was no different from children fighting.

After the scuffle, both were gasping for breath, standing back to back.

"Here, have a cigarette!" Yang Guang handed Ye Chen a cigarette.

"Thanks!" Ye Chen took the cigarette and then asked, "When exactly did Ms. Yan have the accident?"

"October twentieth." Yang Guang took a deep drag and said, "At that time, we were executing a mission in Saudi Arabia, but the enemy had experts too. Just when we were about to leave after completing the mission, the situation suddenly changed, and Ms. Yan vanished right before our eyes. So..."

"What about after that, didn’t you guys think of rescuing her?" Ye Chen stared hard at Yang Guang.

"We did think about it, but the mission was complete, and we were holding crucial secrets. We had to prioritize the mission!" Yang Guang sighed and continued, "So, we decided to bring the items back and then go to rescue her! However, the organization didn’t allow us to act on our own afterward, fearing that it might alert the enemy and possibly expose our identities."

"Damn it, a bunch of freeloaders!" Ye Chen, clenching his teeth, was extremely angry.

"Actually, it’s not their fault!" Yang Guang sighed helplessly and said, "The organization has to consider the bigger picture; we can’t expose the entire plan just because of one person!"

"Bullshit, it’s easy for you to talk without feeling the pain!" Ye Chen angrily looked at Yang Guang and said, "A life is at stake, and you plan to just give up on it?"

"Are you any different?" Yang Guang leaned against Ye Chen’s back, speaking coldly, "Ms. Yan has been missing for so many days, did you suddenly get an urge and think of venting on her? Couldn’t find her, so you blame us?"

"I don’t want to argue with you nonsensically, just give me the address!" Ye Chen stood up, pulling Yang Guang from the ground as well, saying, "Tell me all the information you know. I’m going to rescue her!"

"It’s been so long, I’m afraid it’s too late!" Yang Guang sighed helplessly.

"Damn it, it’s not up to you to decide if it’s too late!" Ye Chen looked furiously at Yang Guang, saying, "As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we should act!"

"Fine, I’ll go with you!" Yang Guang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Even though Ms. Yan is not fond of me, as long as she’s in my heart, that’s enough!"

"That’s more like it!" Ye Chen patted Yang Guang’s shoulder.

The two decided to leave immediately, for time was of the essence. They would head directly to the Middle East without needing any specific preparation. This time, the destination was Saudi Arabia, a city in the desert. Saudi Arabia, rich with abundant oil resources likened to gold, is strategically located on the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by the Gulf to the east and the Red Sea to the west, sharing borders with Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. Saudi Arabia, the true "oil kingdom," leads the world in oil reserves and production, making it one of the wealthiest countries globally.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest producer of desalinated seawater, accounts for about twenty-one percent of the global output. With a liberal economic policy, oil and petrochemical industries are the lifelines of Saudi’s economy. Presently, the Saudi government is boosting the private sector to reduce the economy’s reliance on oil exports, creating more job opportunities for its rapidly increasing population. Saudi Arabia also employs a significant number of immigrant workers. Additionally, its tourism sector is quite developed.

The two headed directly to Hong Kong, from where they would catch a flight to Riyadh.
