The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Gu Ye indeed saw a wound on Li Ji's head, and seeing that the blood was not from Chu Xinglan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Gu, we really don’t have the person you’re looking for here. I think your girlfriend is just playing around and deliberately avoiding you,” Ye Qingyun said, trying to divert Gu Ye’s attention.

“Yes, that must be it. A girl her age must be unable to stand being alone and want to seek excitement,” Ye Jiaorong immediately chimed in.

"So, you know who my girlfriend is, and you've met her?"

Gu Ye knew that Ye Qingyun was cunning and shrewd, and he wanted to find no flaws in him, but his two daughters were not as clever as him.

"I... I guessed." Ye Jiaorong felt a little nervous under Gu Ye's gaze, so she hurriedly lied, "A man like you must like young girls, so I guessed that your girlfriend must be a young girl."

Although it's infuriating, Gu Ye does indeed like young women; otherwise, why would he be indifferent to her?

"It seems I misunderstood; you really don't know my girlfriend."

Gu Ye turned around as he spoke.

"Xue Bai, let's go."

"Boss, do you really believe Ye Xiaoxiao and the others have left? They look nervous; they must be hiding something," Xue Bai whispered to Gu Ye.

"This is someone else's home after all, so it's not appropriate for us to search it."

"But..." Xue Bai didn't say anything more in the end.

Gu Ye is right. If they really want to hide someone, they can't just search everywhere like this. They'll have to find another way.

Seeing that Gu Ye was about to leave, Ye Qingyun tried to stop him to discuss investment matters.

“Mr. Gu, since you’re here, why don’t you have lunch at my humble abode before you leave?”

"Then I'll have to bother you!" To everyone's surprise, Gu Ye agreed immediately.

Gu Ye's quick agreement surprised the Ye family. What was wrong with Gu Ye? He had just seemed so eager to find a girlfriend, but now he agreed to stay for lunch? Well, that's fine too; if he stays, we can discuss the investment.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Gu, I'll have the servants prepare lunch right away," Ye Qingyun said, and then gave the order.

The two Ye sisters stared at Gu Ye like lovesick fools, completely oblivious to the changes in their husbands' expressions, until Ye Qingyun coughed forcefully, at which point they snapped out of their daze.

Lunch was being prepared in the front hall, while Ye Xiaoxiao and Chu Xinglan were struggling with several workers in the room.

"I'll handle things with the Ye family later. You go find Lanlan and Ye Xiaoxiao," Gu Ye whispered to Xue Bai.

Xue Bai immediately understood that the boss was using a tactic called "feigning indifference to lure the enemy into a trap." He had just thought that the boss was planning to give up on Chu Xinglan and the others and leave.

He gestured to Gu Ye as if to say, "Leave it to me."

"Mr. Gu, lunch is almost ready. Please move to the dining room," Ye Qingyun said politely to Gu Ye.

Gu Ye nodded in acknowledgment.

"Assistant Xue, let's go together!" Ye Qingyun gestured for him to join them.

Just then, Xue Bai pretended to have a stomachache.

"Mr. Ye, where is your toilet? I suddenly need to use the restroom."

Ye Jiaorong and Ye Yanrong found it rather unrefined to hear the word "going to the toilet" coming from a handsome man. They glanced at Xue Bai with disdain and continued to stare at Gu Ye with infatuation.

Mr. Gu is the best; he's handsome and has great charisma—truly a man among men.

"There's a restroom on the left ahead," Ye Qingyun pointed.

"Alright, you guys go eat first, I'll be there shortly." Xue Bai smiled.

The Ye family's attention was entirely focused on Gu Ye, and they didn't care about Xue Bai at all. Hearing what he said, they didn't react and led Gu Ye towards the restaurant.

Xue Bai inspected the room alone and was about to go upstairs to search each room again when he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from a room not far away.

He slowly walked towards the room, reaching for the doorknob, ready to open the door, when suddenly the door opened by itself. The door opening was not the problem; what followed was a wooden stick as thick as an arm.

Fortunately, Xue Bai reacted quickly and grabbed the falling stick, otherwise his forehead would have been smashed open.

Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao didn't see who was at the door. They only knew that hiding in the room would be useless. Although they had already chased away several workers, the window was already open, and they couldn't guarantee that the workers wouldn't trap them like turtles in a jar. In that case, they would be in even greater danger. So they went all out, grabbed their weapons, opened the door, and started beating people wildly.

Once the stick was caught, it fueled their will to survive. The two women went crazy, gripping the stick tightly with all four hands and continuing to swing it desperately.

"Damn it, are you trying to kill me?" Xue Bai was stunned by their imposing manner.

Huh? This voice sounds so familiar.

Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao looked up at each other, then looked at the person opposite them through the wooden sticks in their hands.

"Xue Bai?!" The two were both surprised and astonished.

"It's me." Xue Bai, who had almost been driven to the brink by the two women, was both amused and exasperated. "My two heroines, can you let go now?"

"Hehe, we didn't expect it to be you standing at the door."

Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao quickly let go of each other's hands and smiled apologetically at Xue Bai.

"How could it be you? Where are the Ye family members?" Chu Xinglan looked around outside but didn't see a single member of the Ye family.

“They went to eat,” Xue Bai replied.

"So, you came here specifically to save us?" Chu Xinglan asked with a smile, but her expression was somewhat strange, as if to say, "You came here specifically to save Ye Xiaoxiao, didn't you?"

"Yes, not only me, but the boss is here too." Xue Bai touched it with his hand.

"Gu Ye is here too?" Chu Xinglan's heart skipped a beat. He really came to rescue her?!

"Looks like the real hero who saved the damsel in distress is the boss," Ye Xiaoxiao teased, nudging Chu Xinglan with her body.

"I also saved you guys, okay?" Xue Bai quickly took credit.

"This is none of your business." Ye Xiaoxiao glared at Xue Bai.

Xue Bai scratched his head again. Fine, he'd shut up.

"Maybe... Gu Ye came here on business. Look, he's already having lunch," Chu Xinglan whispered.

"I can clarify this for the boss. He really came to save you. The meal was just to keep the Ye family in check. He asked me to stay and continue looking for you," Xue Bai quickly explained for Gu Ye.

"How did you know we would definitely be at the Ye family's place?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.

“This is what it means to be in perfect harmony.” Xue Bai gazed at Ye Xiaoxiao with deep affection.

"Speak like a human being." Ye Xiaoxiao's expression was fierce.

“We know the Ye family better than you do, and I could tell from the phone call that something had happened to you, so I rushed over. But when we got here, they said you went back. Can we believe that?”
