The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 689: Chapter 668:

Ye Chen stood alone on the deck, his mind a chaos. From the words of the red-clothed woman, he seemed to glimpse another side of the Church Court. Always, amidst the constant brainwashing by the Luo Sijue family, along with continuous teachings from the Old Patriarch and the old butler Jack, Ye Chen had believed the Church Court to be an unforgivable sect, even more terrifying than any other organization.

But now, suddenly, he discovered that this frightening thing wasn’t so scary after all, it even had a sense of salvation about it. This threw Ye Chen into great inner turmoil, suddenly leaving him without a target, a terrifying prospect. All along, eradicating the Church Court had been his mission, but now, he hesitated, wavered, and found himself struggling to make a decision.

"No, I must exterminate the Church Court, I must destroy it!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I need to avenge my father!"

Ye Chen’s resolve suddenly hardened again. Facing the sea breeze, watching the sun slowly set, as though the whole world was turning into a golden ocean, he smiled at the tranquil Pingyang, calm as a slumbering baby; quiet like an elder taking a peaceful nap by the village. Suddenly, his heart achieved an obligatory peace.

"Hey, what do you think is up with Brother Chen?" Feng Zhi Xiao looked at Ye Chen’s silhouette, the cigarette that had long since burned out in his mouth unnoticed, yet he still stood there quietly, seemingly unaware that it had extinguished.

"If you ask me, he’s probably thinking about that red-clothed lady!" Liu the Tyrant, gripping a piece of cooked beef and chomping away, said, "Look at Brother Chen’s silhouette. It’s totally that of someone struck by spring fever!"

"Bullshit!" Da Xia immediately retorted angrily, "Big Brother is a member of the Luo Sijue family; how could he possibly get involved with someone from the Church Court like that?"

"Uh..." Liu the Tyrant was taken aback by Da Xia’s sudden outburst, he muttered, "What do you mean get involved? After Brother Chen takes care of that red-clothed woman, it’ll be revenge for the Luo Sijue family! Imagine, like launching artillery at a plane. Think about how exhilarating that is; let your imagination run wild, as the woman in red screams amid the fierce pounding of Brother Chen’s big cannon... tsk tsk..."

Liu the Tyrant got carried away with his own words while the other seven looked at him with utter disdain. And yet, unenlightened, he continued to follow his own ways.

The warship arrived at the secret island, where everything was arranged and guided by the Japanese soldiers on board. After that argument, neither the red-clothed nor the white-clothed woman appeared before Ye Chen. He really wanted to bid farewell to the red-clothed woman, but could only leave with regrets.

"Brother Chen, missing that woman?" Liu the Tyrant walked up to Ye Chen, smiling at him, who lingered, unwilling to leave.

"Nonsense!" Ye Chen glared at Liu the Tyrant, embarrassed.

"Ha ha, I can see it!" Liu the Tyrant suddenly raised his voice, shouting towards the vastness of the warship’s cabin, "Hey, red-clothed beauty, leave QQ contact for our Brother Chen, or MSN if you don’t have QQ. If not, just drop your phone number for the convenience of Brother Chen calling you up for a hookup!"

"Ha ha..." Feng Zhi Xiao and the others on the island burst into hearty laughter.

"What does... hookup mean?" Haozi asked curiously.

"Don’t know, maybe it means to fight together?" Da Xia replied with childlike simplicity, pondering the question. Beside him, Jiang Wei cracked a grin and said, "Brother Shrimp, you got that wrong. Better let Wang Ba explain it to you!"

"Ha ha..." Liu the Tyrant burst into laugher, quickly descending from the deck. Excitedly, he explained, "This ’hookup,’ it’s a popular slang term. Simply put, it’s when a man and woman agree to meet, find a place to get a room, and then start with the big guns and the planes!"

Pfft...

Da Hei and the others couldn’t help but burst out laughing. They all doubled over in laughter. Inside the ship, the red-clothed and white-clothed women stood in the monitoring room, watching through the glass as the group laughed uncontrollably outside on the island. The white-clothed woman asked curiously, "What does hookup actually mean? Why... why are they laughing so happily?"

"The thing is..." The face of the red-clothed woman blushed, thankfully veiled from view. She understood what ’hookup’ meant, but was too embarrassed to explain it, especially since the white-clothed woman was so young. The red-clothed woman simply smiled and said, "Hookup is just a colloquial term; it means two people meeting up to chat, to talk about life, to discuss dreams!"

"Wow... so that’s it!" The white-clothed woman nodded and then smiled, "Sister, when will we hookup?"

"Ah? That’s not... it’s not something women say to each other, it’s a word used between a woman and a man!" The red-clothed woman hurried to clarify.

"Oh, I see!" The white-clothed woman nodded in understanding, then suddenly added, "Sister, why do you care so much about Ye Chen? He’s clearly a bad guy, always thinking about destroying the Church Court!"

"Hehe, everyone has their own standpoint, and from different standpoints come different perspectives on problems!" the red-clothed woman said with a faint smile, "So we can’t blame him!"

"How can we not blame him?" the white-clothed woman snorted lightly, saying, "Humph, if grandmother knew Ye Chen was still alive, humph, who knows how she would deal with him!"

"You must absolutely not tell grandmother about this, or else Ye Chen will be doomed!" the red-clothed woman was extremely anxious.

"Mm!" the white-clothed woman nodded and said, "I understand, sister."

Ye Chen and the others landed on the island, then under the lead of the Japanese soldiers, several of them boarded a small plane. The small plane immediately dived into the sky and then slowly disappeared among the clouds. Only then did the red-clothed woman walk onto the deck, gazing up at the slowly ascending plane, saying, "Sigh, what a wicked fate, why must it be this way?"

"Sect Leader, there is one more person here!" a soldier hurriedly reported, asking, "How should we deal with him?"

"Kill!" From the red lips of the red-clothed woman came a word, a word that was incomparably cruel.

"Yes!" The soldier obeyed the order, grabbed the remaining pilot, and shot him in the forehead. They then directly threw the body into the sea.

The Japanese authorities were in total chaos. They couldn’t catch Ye Chen, and worse yet, two pilots were dead, plunging all of Tokyo into confusion and the whole of Japan into deep thought. Many people were questioning the authorities, asking why, despite mobilizing so many troops and police, they couldn’t even catch a few desperados. This left them extremely astonished and shocked.

"What do you mean, how could this happen, why can’t we find anyone after searching for a day?" Miyazaki Yama was furious. Faced with the intelligence that came back, almost the entire span of more than three hundred kilometres starting from Tokyo toward the Pacific Ocean had been searched to no avail, and Ye Chen and his companions remained untraceable, which left Miyazaki Yama dumbfounded.

It was as if the other party had never appeared at all. Could they be ghosts or gods? But Miyazaki Yama was no believer in spirits.

"Lord Minister, we have searched to the best of our abilities, but it’s as if they have never appeared at all!" the Pacific Commander personally returned to report to Miyazaki Yama.

"Damn it, how could this be!" Miyazaki Yama gritted his teeth in anger, raging, "Did you even search seriously?"

"Minister, please don’t doubt our loyalty!" the Pacific Commander’s tone became slightly firmer.

"No, I haven’t doubted your loyalty!" Miyazaki Yama immediately said, "But, how could a helicopter equipped with a tracking device, with eleven people aboard, just vanish into thin air?!"

"But we really haven’t found any trace of them!" the Commander said helplessly.

"Alright then, continue to use satellites to lock onto the helicopter’s position!" Miyazaki Yama said with resignation.

However, while the two were talking, a guard at the door brought news that the location of the helicopter had been locked onto; it was in the Pacific Ocean, and destroyers had already been dispatched to retrieve it.

"Fantastic!" Miyazaki Yama was excited, "They must have crashed into the Pacific due to lack of fuel. Immediately intensify the search in the nearby waters, and don’t miss any suspicious points!"

"Yes!" the Commander nodded at once.

Thereafter, the Commander of the Pacific Fleet issued the orders, and several destroyers set out simultaneously to search within a ten-mile radius centered on the helicopter. However, after an overnight search and retrieval operation, not a single trace was found, which puzzled Miyazaki Yama. Could they all have perished? Even if they did, there would still be bodies, right? So, he ordered the search area to be expanded by ten more miles.

Unfortunately, even after the expanded search, still no trace of them was found. It was as if Ye Chen and his party had evaporated from the world. This left Miyazaki Yama both perplexed and depressed.

At this moment, a small plane arrived over Leisure City’s airspace, and Leisure City’s air defense center immediately issued a warning command: "Identify yourself, or we will open fire!"

The pilot quickly sought instructions from Ye Chen, then revealed their identities. Finally, after obtaining approval from Leisure City’s air defense center, the small plane eventually landed smoothly at Leisure City’s Airport One. By this time, over a hundred guards had already received orders to head to Airport One to stand guard.
