After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

She walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and kicked Ye Feng.

This kick was both fast and ruthless, completely catching Ye Feng off guard.

He hurriedly tried to block with his arms, but was forced back three steps by the enormous force, his back slamming against the wall.

"You're playing dirty tricks?"

Chen Yiyi sneered: "All's fair in war."

After saying that, she kicked out again, this time even faster than before.

Ye Feng was prepared; he dodged the attack by turning to the side and grabbed her ankle with his other hand.

However, Chen Yiyi's tight leather pants were so smooth that Ye Feng's hand almost slipped off.

Chen Yiyi's slender ankles were held in Ye Feng's large hands.

She struggled desperately, but could not break free from Ye Feng's grip.

In her haste, she swept her foot across the room again.

"hiss……"

Despite the reduced force, the power of the groin kick should not be underestimated.

Ye Feng was kicked in a vital area, and he gasped in pain, bending over.

"Beautiful Chen, you're too ruthless! You have no mercy!"

Seeing his miserable state, Chen Yiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Serves you right, who told you to be so foul-mouthed!"

Seeing this, Wu Dan quickly stepped forward to help Ye Feng up and asked with concern, "Brother Ye, are you alright?"

Ye Feng waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Chen Yiyi walked up to Ye Feng, looked down at him, and said, "Now we're even. Welcome to the Security Department, Ye Feng. Be good from now on, and I'll protect you."

"Alright, let's go to the meeting now!"

Chen Yiyi announced.

As Wu Feifei passed by Ye Feng, she whispered, "Ye Feng, you're pretty good. You actually managed to win over my senior sister."

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "Feifei, you're really kicking me when I'm down."

Wu Feifei smiled and said meaningfully, "You acted quite well."

Wu Dan asked, puzzled, "Brother Ye, what does Sister Feifei mean?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "It's nothing."

He deliberately provoked Chen Yiyi and left himself room to maneuver in the confrontation, partly to show weakness and avoid conflict, and partly to hope for a more peaceful life.

He didn't expect that the groin kick would still cause him so much pain, and that Wu Feifei would notice something was wrong.

This Wu Feifei is really something else.

They entered an underground conference room.

At this time, the other side.

The branch's security manager, with a cigarette between his fingers, squinted at his subordinates: "Keep a close eye on him. Report every move Ye Feng makes to me."

At that moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the security office; it was Qi Xue.

"Is Ye Feng here?" Her voice was clear and pleasant.

The manager looked Qi Xue up and down, a flash of amazement in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by contempt.

"Ye Feng? He's probably on a date. That kid's got some luck with women."

Qi Xue frowned slightly. A date? Ye Feng with whom? Liu Qingyi?

"Thank you."

Qi Xue nodded politely and turned to leave.

After starting the car and driving away from the branch office, Qi Xue's doubts grew stronger.

The man's flippant tone and smug expression made her realize that things were not so simple.

Thinking of this, she took out her phone and dialed Ye Feng's number.

"Sorry……"

The mechanical female voice repeated itself over and over, and Qi Xue's heart sank lower and lower with each note.

She dialed five times in a row, but got the same result.

Ye Feng never had the habit of not answering the phone, which made her very worried.

The manager's words echoed in her ears again.

Dating?

Correct.

Looking for Liu Qingyi.

She took out her phone, searched for Liu Qingyi's name on WeChat, and sent a friend request.

Once, twice, three times... until the fifth time, the other party finally passed.

Liu Qingyi looked at the newly added friend and clicked on it with a puzzled expression.

The other party didn't introduce themselves and sent a message directly: "Please tell Ye Feng to be careful of the security manager!"

Liu Qingyi was even more puzzled.

Who is this person?

Why should she be asked to relay this message to Ye Feng?

What is their relationship?

"Who are you? Why do you need me to relay this message?" Liu Qingyi replied.

"There's no time to explain, please be sure to tell him as soon as possible!" Qi Xue's tone was anxious.

As Liu Qingyi read the message, her doubts deepened.

The tone of their voices, the way they address each other—their relationship is definitely not simple.

"What is your relationship with Ye Feng?" Liu Qingyi asked tentatively.

Qi Xue hesitated for a moment after looking at the message.

She didn't want to explain too much to Liu Qingyi; right now, Ye Feng's safety was the most important thing.

"That's not important, please..."

Before Qi Xue could finish typing, Liu Qingyi sent another message: "What is your relationship with him?"

Qi Xue was annoyed; she didn't have time to argue with Liu Qingyi about this.

She immediately deleted Liu Qingyi from her friends list and blocked her.

At this moment, inside the car, Qin Yifei turned to the side and tried to hold Liu Qingyi's hand.

"Qingyi, the moonlight is beautiful tonight." Qin Yifei's voice was deep and magnetic.

Liu Qingyi subtly withdrew her hand, her gaze falling on the neon lights flashing past the car window.

"Yes."

Qin Yifei was somewhat unwilling, so he moved closer and could almost smell the faint scent of her perfume.

"Qingyi, we..."

“Qin Yifei,” Liu Qingyi interrupted him, her tone carrying a warning, “we are just business partners.”

Qin Yifei's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his smile.

"Qingyi, are you still angry about Ye Feng? It's all in the past, you should look forward."

Liu Qingyi did not answer, but turned her head to look out the window and stopped looking at him.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly became somewhat awkward.

Qin Yifei looked at her indifferent profile and felt a little displeased, but he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

Liu Qingyi's mind was not on Qin Yifei at all.

Qi Xue's strange WeChat message made her feel vaguely uneasy.

What does the phrase "the manager who is careful about security" mean?

She was restless, feeling that something was about to happen.

"Stop the car," Liu Qingyi suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yifei looked at her in confusion.

"I have something to take care of, you can go back first."

Although Qin Yifei was unwilling, he had no choice but to ask the driver to stop the car.

Watching Liu Qingyi's hurried departure, a shadow crossed his eyes.

After getting off the bus, Liu Qingyi immediately took out her phone and dialed Ye Feng's number again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

The cold, mechanical female voice made Liu Qingyi even more agitated.

She dialed several times, but got the same result.

Where did Ye Feng go?

Why aren't you answering the phone?

Qi Xue's WeChat message... Could it be that something really happened to Ye Feng?

Liu Qingyi paced anxiously back and forth by the roadside, her unease growing stronger.

She desperately wanted to contact Ye Feng to confirm his safety.

Left with no other option, she sent Ye Feng a WeChat message: "Ye Feng, where are you? Reply to me as soon as you see this message! I have something important to tell you!"

After the message was successfully sent, Liu Qingyi gripped her phone tightly, anxiously awaiting Ye Feng's reply.
