"The young master of the Ye Family, one of the original four great clans of Zhonghai, a profligate son?"

Looking at the information in his hands, Poisonous Scorpion’s eyes narrowed into slits, flashing with a cold light.

"Boss, this kid was once just a profligate son, but recently, he has shown great strength and even inflicted severe injuries on Elder Wu of the Wu Family."

Hei Hu spoke with a dark expression.

"Elder Wu is a top-notch expert in the Wu Family, and even I should not underestimate him. That kid was able to seriously injure him, which means his strength has already reached a very high level. Such power at such a young age, I’m afraid his background is not simple,"

Poisonous Scorpion commented coldly.

"Boss, what should we do now? The Wu Family has ordered us to bring back the kid’s head on the day of the Wu Family elder’s memorial service, and we only have a few days left. We must figure out a way to take him down."

Hei Hu said, looking towards Poisonous Scorpion.

Poisonous Scorpion’s squinting eyes shone with a hint of unusual light as he looked at the dossier. A cold smile appeared on his lips, but he did not answer Hei Hu’s question.

At Ling Corporation, just as Ye Luo entered the company, he saw a beautiful figure.

"Yo, isn’t this Secretary Zhou? Haven’t seen you in a day, and Secretary Zhou has become even more beautiful, truly a deadly beauty."

Looking at Zhou Siqi, Ye Luo didn’t hesitate to lavish her with praise, instantly causing Zhou Siqi’s face to turn red, her clear eyes filled with a shy expression.

"Ye... Vice Chief Ye, the president is looking for you."

Zhou Siqi said to Ye Luo with a blushing face and lowered head.

"Oh, I see."

Ye Luo nodded casually and made his way to the twenty-fifth floor.

"What does the president want with me?"

Ye Luo walked straight into the room, and casually sat down in front of the desk.

At that moment, Ling Qingya was dressed in a black OL outfit, her exquisite face without a trace of makeup, yet still radiantly pure. Her hair was put up high, exuding a strong and decisive aura.

Ling Qingya glanced at Ye Luo, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "Don’t you know that you should knock before entering an office? I’ve said it before, in the office, you are my subordinate and you must follow the company’s rules and regulations."

"Yes, Madam President, I forgot just now,"

Ye Luo’s face was all smiles, and then he glanced at a teacup on the desk and said with a laugh, "The president is really considerate, knowing that I’m thirsty. I was just thinking of having a drink of water."

Saying that, Ye Luo picked up the teacup and gulped down half of the water in it. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Thanks, Presi..."

Ye Luo was about to voice his gratitude when he saw Ling Qingya’s eyes widened, her face bearing a trace of icy coldness as she stared at him, giving him a feeling of his hair standing on end.

"Pres... President, what’s wrong?" Ye Luo asked with a fearful expression, looking at Ling Qingya.

"You idiot, you drank from my cup,"

Ling Qingya cursed in anger.

"So, it was the Madam President’s cup. No wonder there was a faint fragrance in the mouthful I took. Really delightful."

Ye Luo gave a wicked smile and took the water cup, finishing off the remaining half with utter shamelessness, even going as far as to lick the rim of the cup provocatively.

Ling Qingya suddenly felt an urge to explode, finding Ye Luo entirely shameless. Having such an unscrupulous fiancé was an insult to her.

Taking several deep breaths, Ling Qingya managed to suppress her anger, then looked at Ye Luo coldly, "Why didn’t you take Meng Xi home last night? Instead, you left her alone outside. What if something had happened to her?"

"I had an emergency last night, so I couldn’t take her home, but don’t worry, she’s safe," he replied.

As he spoke, Ye Luo muttered to himself, "What could possibly go wrong with an Innate Middle Stage master secretly protecting her?"

Obviously, Ye Luo had noticed the black-clad woman who had suddenly appeared by Han Mengxi the previous night, but he chose not to disclose her presence.

The woman’s abilities were superior to Ye Luo’s, an expert of the Innate Middle Stage, staying hidden and protecting Han Mengxi. That was why Ye Luo could leave with peace of mind, although Ling Qingya was unaware of the woman’s existence.

This young girl must have quite the background. Someone who could afford an Innate Middle Stage expert as a bodyguard was no ordinary person. Even the most competitive rich heirs and nobles he knew didn’t have this kind of clout. Thinking this, Han Mengxi would definitely rank in the top three amongst the rich kids he knew.

"President, who is that girl? Why is she living with you?" Ye Luo couldn’t help but ask.

"She’s the Han Family’s young miss from Capital City."

"People from Capital City? What’s she doing in Zhonghai?"

"My parents were close friends with Meng Xi’s parents before they passed away. Meng Xi and I have known each other since we were little and have always been close. When Meng Xi chose to attend university, she picked Zhonghai University, so she came to Zhonghai and lived with me," Qing Ya explained indifferently, glancing at Ye Luo, "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, just curious. President, do you have any other matters for me?"

"I came to tell you that we’ll be heading to Capital City in three days. The partnership we’re about to discuss is critical for Ling Corporation—no mistakes can be tolerated. Capital City is not like Zhonghai; it is full of intricate power dynamics. You had best behave yourself once there, and avoid causing any trouble."

"Do I look like the type who’s unreliable and loves to stir up trouble?" Ye Luo asked, with an innocent look on his face.

"You can go now."

Ling Qingya ignored Ye Luo’s innocent expression, which really hurt him on the inside.

Upon leaving the office, Ye Luo saw Zhou Siqi standing aside and immediately put on a wounded expression as he approached her.

"Sister Siqi, your brother is very hurt. I need comfort, I need a hug!"

Saying so, Ye Luo suddenly wrapped his arms around Zhou Siqi, causing her to freeze with a stunned expression, unable to respond for a moment.

By the time Zhou Siqi collected herself, Ye Luo had already left with a smile on his face.

Instantly, Zhou Siqi’s face turned crimson to the neck, her expression a mix of shy annoyance, not knowing how to react.

Having left the twenty-fifth floor, Ye Luo had just reached the ground floor of the company when he encountered a figure.

A tall, shapely beauty in a police uniform stood there, her almond eyes fixed on Ye Luo, with a stunning face and fair skin.

She was undoubtedly a police flower, and she was Yang Bingning, the Zhonghai Criminal Police Captain Ye Luo had met several times before.

"Wow, isn’t this the beautiful Officer Yang? Long time no see. I’ve missed you a lot. Let’s skip the chit-chat and start with a hug to express my longing," he said.
