The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 737: Chapter 713:

Li Ruo, who was far away in the United States, had been feeling a twitch in her eyelid these past few days, as if she had a bad premonition. She had tried to call Ye Chen several times, fearing that something had happened to him, but everything seemed to be alright on Ye Chen’s end, which puzzled Li Ruo. If Ye Chen was fine, why did her eyelid keep twitching?

On a night at the end of May, although it was already midnight, Li Ruo was still quietly reviewing a business plan in her office when, suddenly, an urgent phone call rang out. She quickly answered, and to her surprise, it was from her distant cousin, Xingxing.

"Xingxing, what’s the matter?" Li Ruo asked, perplexed.

"Li... Mr. Li, I have some bad news for you, and please, oh please, don’t get angry after you hear it!" Xingxing stammered, unsure whether she should deliver the news or how to even start telling Li Ruo.

"You’re such a grown girl, why do you still hesitate when speaking? Just say it!" Li Ruo furrowed her brow.

"Okay, okay!" Xingxing immediately responded, "Tianya Group in Jianghuai City is about to be taken over. Someone schemed against Assistant Lin, who signed some documents, so this morning they came to make trouble!"

"What?!" Li Ruo was stunned and then immediately said, "Put Ziwen on the phone!"

The urgency of the situation triggered Li Ruo’s recent flickering eyelid premonitions. She couldn’t help thinking that perhaps the issues were related to Tianya’s recent troubles. Li Ruo became somewhat agitated, urgently requesting Lin Ziwen to come to the phone. On the other end, she heard the sobbing voice of Lin Ziwen: "Mr. Li, I’ve let you down. I was framed, and... and Tianya Group is about to be taken away!"

"What... what on earth happened?" Li Ruo was shocked. She could dismiss the words of Milking Girl Xingxing, but she couldn’t disregard those of Lin Ziwen, who had been by her side for so many years. Grinding his teeth, Lin Ziwen said, "You need to come back quickly. Some things can’t be explained in just a moment."

"Understood, I will be right there!" Li Ruo nodded immediately.

It was already midnight, and Li Ruo couldn’t catch a scheduled flight, but this particular night seemed exceptionally long and difficult to endure. She could only call Ye Chen and explained the situation to him. He too expressed shock that Lin Ziwen could be framed. Pondering the situation, Ye Chen immediately said, "Xiao Ruo, I’m on my way to New York now. I’ll return to China with you first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Great!" Li Ruo replied joyfully.

That same night, Ye Chen rushed from the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States. There were still domestic flights at night in the US, but international flights had typically stopped operating. Ye Chen arrived in New York at a little past four in the morning and found Li Ruo still awake at her residence.

The next morning, the two hurriedly made their way to New York Airport and boarded a flight bound for Hong Kong. After more than ten hours of flying, they finally arrived at Hong Kong Airport. After one night plus a day and another night of flying, the matter had reached its third day.

Early on the third day, Shen Haotian appeared once more at Tianya Group, along with his henchmen. This time, the employees of Tianya Group gathered at the main entrance. They had formed an alliance and were resolutely determined not to let the enemy enter Tianya Group, vowing to protect their livelihoods and the company.

"Oh, so early in the morning and all dressed up, are you preparing to welcome me, your new boss?" Shen Haotian laughed heartily.

"Humph, if you want to enter Tianya Group, then you’ll have to step over our dead bodies!" The employees of Tianya Group had their own spirit, although this so-called ’spirit’ was merely a natural human instinct to be indignant. Once this indignation was released, they would lose their spirit and end up running around frantically after being beaten.

"Then I’d like to see just how you’re going to die!" Shen Haotian gave a big wave of his hand, and dozens of thugs immediately charged forward, eyeing Tianya Group’s employees like hungry wolves ready to devour their prey.

By comparison, the employees of Tianya Group seemed more like mere sheep. Shen Haotian sneered, "I’m giving you ten seconds to leave, or else prepare to die! Ten... nine... eight..."

As time ticked away second by second, Tianya Group’s employees still remained, sweating profusely. With each count from Shen Haotian, their anxiety increased. When the last second fell, Shen Haotian motioned, "Attack!"

"Kill!" The thugs holding baseball bats immediately charged, they were battle-hardened soldiers, and facing a group of unarmed civilians who spent their days in the office, it was naturally a one-sided massacre.

The baseball bat smashed down on the employees’ foreheads like iron, and fresh blood flowed out. They initially resisted, but later, they realized that their assailants had come prepared. They carried a variety of restricted items: switchblades, daggers, short knives...

"Ah?!" An employee was stabbed directly through the abdomen and cut open with a single stroke, reminiscent of a Japanese samurai performing seppuku, as their intestines poured out. Suddenly, the scene was filled with shock.

"No, no..." Little Mei looked on in horror. Even though she wasn’t involved, seeing the Tianya Group’s employees being slaughtered like this filled her with fear.

Police sirens wailed as they approached. Once again, it was Fang Qin leading the team. Seeing the bloody scene, she charged forward without hesitation and shouted, "Stop!"

However, charging lions don’t halt at a single person’s scolding. Seeing this, Fang Qin immediately raised her handgun and fired a shot into the sky. The crisp sound of the gunshot stunned the assailants, freezing everyone in their tracks as they turned to look at Fang Qin. Their eyes, filled with blood-red ferocity, revealed the beast within.

If Shen Haotian wished, they would have even fought the police to the death. Fang Qin, taken aback by those pairs of crimson eyes, took a deep breath and shouted at Shen Haotian, "What the hell are you doing?!"

"I said I would come back in three days to take over Tianya Group!" Shen Haotian shrugged and said, "But these ignorant fools tried to stop me!"

"Show me the relevant documents!" Fang Qin demanded harshly.

"Lawyer Liu, show Captain Fang," Shen Haotian said with a faint smile. At this moment, a man in a black suit immediately took out the related documents from a briefcase. Of course, these had cost him a great deal, and normally, it would take at least ten days to a half month to process such documents. Moreover, there were loopholes in the contracts. However, Shen Haotian had managed to finalize things. One couldn’t help but exclaim that in a place like China, money indeed made many things possible.

Fang Qin scanned the documents and was dumbfounded. In the end, all she could lament was the bureaucracy!

"Captain Fang, what’s happened?" Little Mei asked anxiously.

"Sigh, their paperwork is legal!" Fang Qin said helplessly: "So, I have no right to stop them. However, those who committed assault and injury, I will deal with by the law!"

Saying this, Fang Qin waved her hand and commanded, "Take away these few who intentionally caused injury!"

"Yes, sir!" The police immediately set to work. The assailants had been ready to take on the police, but Shen Haotian stopped them. He didn’t want to escalate the situation in China. Moreover, even if Fang Qin arrested the men, they could be easily bailed out with some money. Shen Haotian coldly said, "You’re arresting my men now; you surely can’t just watch them get hurt by my people, can you?"

Fang Qin didn’t answer him. From a justice standpoint, she had to remain objective and fair. Hence, Fang Qin had to persuade the employees of Tianya Group to give up resistance and hand over the company. But from her heart and subjective stance, Fang Qin hoped that Tianya Group would remain in Li Ruo’s hands. She didn’t like the idea of such a great evil triumphing, but events often developed in ways unforeseen.

Shen Haotian waved his hand and declared, "Follow me. Anyone who dares to block the way will be killed without mercy!"

His words carried an unlimited threat, causing many to involuntarily step back. The employees of Tianya Group made way. Those who were wounded had already been sent to the hospital. Bloodstains still marred the ground as they could only stand aside and watch the people they loathed take control of Tianya Group.

Many hadn’t seen Lin Ziwen today. They thought he might be resting at home due to discomfort, but when they saw these people enter the Tianya Group lobby, Lin Ziwen stood at the entrance with a kitchen knife in hand. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Shen Haotian and his group, particularly setting his gaze on Yang Yupeng, saying, "If you want to enter Tianya Group, step over my dead body!"

Women often erupt with limitless energy out of heartbreak or anger. Lin Ziwen fully embodied this, staring coldly at everyone, his eyes filled with bloodlust. Shen Haotian said in exasperation, "Shit, not this routine again. Can’t you come up with something new?"

"Ziwen, just step aside," Yang Yupeng pleaded.

"Asshole, I’m going to kill you first!" Lin Ziwen roared like a frenzied beast, raising the kitchen knife before charging madly at Yang Yupeng. Shen Haotian stepped aside to make way. He was curious to see how Yang Yupeng would handle the woman. Unexpectedly, Yang Yupeng didn’t fight back.
