The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 620: Chapter 601:

Ye Chen released Dian Ling and then lay across her back, stroking her smooth back with his hand. They were still intimately joined, with Ye Chen locked inside of Dian Ling. Dian Ling felt uncomfortable and blurted out, "Hurry up and take it out, or I’ll cut it off!"

"Ha ha, would you really do that?" Ye Chen asked with a smirk.

"Hmph, what’s there to keep, it’s not just for me!" Dian Ling’s remark stunned Ye Chen, and he quickly pulled out and hurried into the bathroom, knowing well how reckless Dian Ling could be.

Dian Ling also rushed to cover herself and ran into the bathroom, where the two playfully splashed each other. Dian Ling scolded Ye Chen for leaving ’that’ inside her. What if she got pregnant? She would need to find a solution soon after getting back.

"Let it be, I’ll take responsibility!" Ye Chen said with a grin.

"We’re not even married; who cares about your responsibility!" Dian Ling snapped, her teeth gritted. "You haven’t even taken responsibility for Tongtong yet!"

Ye Chen was speechless. As a man, he always seemed to be on the unreasonable side. Arguing with a woman was a battle he could never win. Feeling helpless, Ye Chen endured Dian Ling’s accusations, and they eventually finished their bath and returned to the bedroom to sleep together.

By now, it was two in the morning and with Dian Ling excessively worn out by Ye Chen, she fell asleep quickly.

The next morning when Ye Chen woke up, Dian Ling had already left, leaving behind hot milk and bread on the table along with a note that read, "Happy New Year!"

Ye Chen grabbed his phone in a rush, unsure of whom to call first. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to call Elder Pang and others in Beijing first. After half an hour of calls, he immediately phoned Zhang Kaiguo. As a son-in-law, not visiting personally for New Year’s greetings was a big faux pas. However, Zhang Kaiguo didn’t really mind it, prioritizing his career.

"Ye Chen, when are you coming to my house?" asked Zhang Yantong. It had been a month since their wedding, and she was still untouched, which would probably raise eyebrows if word got out. There had been an issue last time, but not this time.

"I’ll come over tomorrow!" Ye Chen didn’t let Zhang Yantong down.

"Really?" Zhang Yantong asked excitedly.

"Mm, I’ll come over for lunch tomorrow!" Ye Chen chuckled, aware of the cruelty of being apart as newlyweds. After chatting on the phone for a while, they hung up.

Then, Ye Chen made calls to Yao Yue, Gongsun Yue, and others. The whole morning was spent on the phone, except he couldn’t reach Ms. Yan because her phone was turned off.

Perhaps Ms. Yan had something urgent, hence the phone being off. Ye Chen consoled himself.

On the first day of the New Year, spirits were high outside. Dressed in new clothes, Ye Chen visited the Heavenly Reversal Gang to distribute red envelopes among the lads.

During this time, Ye Chen received a text message from a hidden number: "Ye Chen, Happy New Year, love from Li Ruo!"

That single line deeply moved Ye Chen. His longing for Li Ruo had reached a fever pitch. They had been apart for just over a month, but that period only intensified his yearning. Ye Chen wanted to call her and tell her how much he missed her, but her number was hidden. His phone displayed just four words: "Unknown Number."

Ye Chen felt an overwhelming sorrow, as if something dear to him had been stolen. Wanting to reclaim it but unable to, because the thief was too strong. With a bitter smile, Ye Chen held his phone, looking at the blurring text.

"So, I’m crying!" Ye Chen wiped his tears, feeling rather helpless. He silently saved the message.

On the second day of the New Year, Ye Chen went to Tongzhou City, intending to visit his father-in-law. Originally planning to take the chance to be intimate with Zhang Yantong, he ended up being dragged into playing chess by his father-in-law all day. Initially, Ye Chen was happy to spend time playing chess with his father-in-law. However, after several victories, his father-in-law became determined to win. When Ye Chen suggested stopping, Zhang Kaiguo immediately protested.

"You little rascal, you think you can just walk away after winning so many times?" Zhang Kaiguo said angrily.

"Well, then... let’s play a few more rounds," Ye Chen relented, not daring to escape.

However, Ye Chen quickly changed tactics and started losing on purpose. Zhang Kaiguo won three consecutive games, which only made him more enthusiastic. He considered Ye Chen a ’master’ and was overjoyed with each win, slapping his thigh and not letting Ye Chen go.

Poor Ye Chen was stuck there, forced to play chess all day by his father-in-law.

Ye Chen was getting ready to make his move on Zhang Yantong that evening when he received some distressing news. The informant was Yang Guang, who had close connections with Ms. Yan, especially considering the powerful intelligence system within the Dragon Team, which kept track of everyone’s activities.

At a little past eight in the evening, Ye Chen’s phone rang. Ye Chen answered the call, and before he could speak, Yang Guang’s urgent voice came through, "Ye Chen, something terrible has happened, Ms. Yan is in trouble!"

"What happened to Ms. Yan?" Ye Chen was startled.

"Ms. Yan went to her in-laws’ for the New Year, and now she’s being held captive by her in-laws!" Yang Guang anxiously said, "That bastard Cai Jian Country is ogling Ms. Yan, and that incompetent Cai Guoqing is ignoring her completely, so I think she’s in danger."

"When did this happen?" Ye Chen immediately stood up from the sofa.

"We’ve been unable to contact Ms. Yan these past few days!" Taking a deep breath, Yang Guang said, "We just received intelligence that Ms. Yan is trapped in the Cai Family’s residence. Cai Jian Country is a vice commander in the military district, and our organization has strict rules against conflicts with military personnel, so..."

"So you came to me?" Ye Chen asked sharply.

"Yes!" Yang Guang nodded, "I know it’s really unfair to you and that the decision from the organization isn’t right, but rescuing someone is like putting out a fire, I hope you understand!"

"Okay, I get it now!" Ye Chen promptly hung up the phone.

Zhang Yantong, who was nearby, hurried over and asked, "What happened? What’s going on?"

"A friend is in trouble, so I have to go!" Ye Chen managed to get himself ready.

"Alright, saving someone is more important, so you go ahead!" Although Zhang Yantong felt somewhat disappointed inside, she had to prioritize the larger issues due to her years of official experience, knowing what was important and what was secondary.

Ye Chen left Zhang Yantong’s home and then drove to the headquarters of the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Since Xiao Bai and the Four Heavenly Kings were all in Jianghuai City, Ye Chen could only choose a few capable and strong "little brothers" to accompany him, each armed with a handgun. They then rushed towards Guangzhou.

An Infiniti carried five people, with Ye Chen in the passenger seat and a man named Gou Zai driving. Gou Zai was a native of Guangzhou, chosen to drive because the place was impossible to navigate—once you go in, you can hardly find your way out. The terrain of Guangzhou was daunting, with its overlapping bridges enough to make you collapse, not to mention the various one-way and restricted streets...

In short, Guangzhou was a labyrinth that you couldn’t escape once you entered.

After several hours of driving at a speed of 150 miles per hour, they swiftly reached Guangzhou.

It was midnight when they arrived. They exited the freeway at the Sanyuanli toll station and headed straight for the military district. The Guangzhou Military District was located in Yuexiu District. Being a native, Gou Zai was quite familiar with the area; the office compound of the military district was also located in Yuexiu District.

"Brother Chen, we’re almost there, what’s our plan?" Gou Zai quickly asked.

"We’ll figure it out when we get there!" Ye Chen closed his eyes and took a nap in the car, while the other three strong men squeezed together, clearly uncomfortable. Although the Infiniti was spacious, how comfortable could it be with three stocky men crammed in?

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the military district compound, where two armed guards were stationed. Ye Chen got out of the car, stretched, and then with a call said, "Come on, follow me!"

"Uh..." Gou Zai was startled, "Brother Chen, are we just going in like this?"

Normally, outsiders are not allowed near the military district office compound. Gou Zai was well aware of this, and if someone dared to trespass, the guards had the authority to shoot. Gou Zai was shocked; although they had handguns, the guards were armed with Type 56 rifles. Plus, there were more than just the two guards at the entrance—there were plenty of soldiers inside.

"Just follow me!" Ye Chen, with his head held high and chest puffed out, confidently strode forward.

"Halt, what are you doing?" the guard immediately asked.

"I’m here to see someone!" Ye Chen glared at them both and barked, "Are you really going to stop a guest of Vice Commander Cai?"

"Uh..." The guard hesitated, the two guards looked at each other, and one of them quickly said, "Please allow me to notify them first!"
