After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Chen Yiran suddenly jumped up from his seat and exclaimed, "What are you doing!"

It all happened so suddenly. I saw it all clearly, and my heart skipped a beat. I immediately stood up.

Why did this person suddenly make a move, even with someone else present? How could they just make such a swift and decisive move?

Deborah stood up innocently, her eyes full of confusion.

"Don't get excited. I was just complimenting your good looks. It was my oversight. You're from the East, so you might be more traditional and conservative."

Chen Yiran clenched his fists tightly. Although he was a bit shorter than me, his aura was unmistakable: "This has nothing to do with where I'm from, ma'am. This is harassment, and you have to apologize to me!"

Deborah looked up, her face filled with astonishment. "My God, I was just complimenting you, and you're saying I'm harassing you?"

She turned to me again, wanting me to speak up for her, "Isn't that a bit too much? What do you think?"

Chen Yiran immediately turned her gaze to me.

With a serious expression, I looked around, pondering whether to confront them head-on or stall for time.

There might be her people all around here. If we confront them head-on, we'll definitely suffer. My heart was racing. I secretly took out my phone, silenced it, and dialed Jiang Yuwei's number.

I hope Jiang Yuwei won't hang up on me.

Deborah was urging me to give my opinion, and she moved closer to me. I quickly locked my phone, smiled, and looked up, trying to delay as much as possible.

"Madam, people of the opposite sex should be mindful of boundaries and maintain some distance."

Deborah's face immediately darkened, and she looked somewhat embarrassed and angry. Afraid of angering her, I quickly added another sentence.

"However, I believe you didn't do it on purpose. You just couldn't control yourself because he was so handsome."

Deborah was pleased to hear this and looked at Chen Yiran again, "Did you hear that? He's a man too. You're being too sensitive."

Chen Yiran's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at me. "Me, so sensitive? Wasn't she touching me on purpose just now? Why are you still defending her?"

My phone vibrated slightly; it must be Jiang Yuwei answering the phone. I immediately felt a little relieved and gave Chen Yiran a wink. "Don't get agitated, let's sit down and talk this out..."

"Alright, that's enough!" Chen Yiran interrupted with a cold laugh, his eyes looking at Deborah like she was a traitor. He glared at her, "I just heard you say you're a famous concept artist in your company, or the boss's daughter, right? You must care a lot about your reputation. Listen, apologize to me, and I'll leave right now, or I'll call the police!"

Deborah's face instantly turned cold, but she still explained with a playful smile, "I really didn't mean it. Isn't your reaction a bit much?"

Chen Yiran didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he took out his phone to call the police.

Before I could stop her, Deborah suddenly snatched his phone, slammed it to the ground, and muttered a French phrase that sounded like an insult. Then, she stared coldly at Chen Yiran and, in the blink of an eye, kicked him in the stomach.

"If you add another charge of intentional assault and don't stop, your troubles will only get worse!"

I always thought Chen Yiran was a gentle and refined person, but I never expected him to be so tough at a time like this. This is abroad, not in our country.

I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but I still tried to remain calm and stall for time.

"Madam, how could you lay a hand on me? This is utterly unreasonable!"

"Ye Qiu, this has nothing to do with you. We've had a great working relationship, and I admire you. But this man is too ungrateful. I have to deal with him. Please wait a moment." Deborah said to me with a smile, then waved her hand, and two tall and burly bodyguards rushed in from outside and restrained Chen Yiran.

“This handsome gentleman, let’s go outside and have a chat.”

Chen Yiran resisted desperately.

My face turned ashen, and my heart was pounding with anxiety.

This is a VIP room. People outside judge a book by its skin color and its status. Deborah has fair skin, is dressed in designer brands, and her bodyguards are almost two meters tall with arms thicker than my thighs. Who would dare to stop her?

I should have stayed out of it, at least to protect myself, but if I just watched her take Chen Yiran away, I could imagine what would happen to him.

Jiang Yuwei will definitely arrive; she's already answered the phone. I just need to stall for time until she comes.

I suddenly grabbed Chen Yiran's hand and pulled him towards me.

"Wait, he's my friend, not some lonely, drifting doctor. If you still want to discuss cooperation and enter the domestic market, you'd better let go now! This is just a small dispute now, but once the group finds out, it will be a big deal!"

Chen Yiran looked at me with surprise, and Deborah immediately stopped what she was doing, told the bodyguards to step aside, and squinted at me.

I feel like there's a chance; she didn't lay a hand on me just now.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yiran suddenly grabbed a nearby wine bottle and smashed it over Deborah's head, shouting, "Sir, don't argue with her, run!"

With a loud crash, the liquor splashed everywhere!

He grabbed me and started running, and my hand slipped, causing my phone to fly away.

Deborah was bleeding profusely from her head. She swayed a couple of times and saw that the cell phone on the ground was still on the line. She was instantly enraged.

Two bodyguards tried to step forward, but she stopped them.

She stomped on my phone and smashed it, glaring at me angrily: "You're messing with me!"

Hearing the commotion, two more tall and burly bodyguards entered. Two blocked the door, while the other two menacingly approached us.

I instantly felt a chill run through my body as the bodyguard pushed me to the ground.

I slammed my head against the corner of the table and fell to the ground. I groaned in pain, my back aching so badly I couldn't get up.

Chen Yiran's expression changed drastically, "Sir... Ah!"

I looked up and saw that Chen Yiran had also been thrown to the ground by the bodyguard. He was kicked twice in the stomach and screamed in pain. Then he was punched in the face.

Chen Yiran roared, "Get out of my way!"

He struggled to his feet, wanting to throw another punch at the bodyguard.

Deborah seemed to have lost her patience. She picked up the broken wine bottle that Chen Yiran had just smashed against her and smashed it over his head.

With a "bang," I shuddered. In the blink of an eye, before I could even react, blood started flowing from Chen Yiran's head, and he fainted.

Seeing this scene, I felt my blood freeze, and a chill ran from the bottom of my heart to the top of my head.

"You...you killed him?"
