"Bang——"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

Qin Youxuan and a group of security men stood outside the door. As soon as Ye Mingmei saw her, she quickly walked up and hid beside Qin Youxuan.

With a glance from the corner of her eye, she realized that Dan Hanjie was also there.

"With such a grand entrance, someone who doesn’t know might think I’m here to rob the Ye Group, is this how the Ye Group treats its guests?"

Yu Xiuzhun lazily tidied up his shirt and raised an eyebrow as he looked at the people outside the door.

Seeing Ye Mingmei who avoided him like the plague, his eyes darkened slightly.

"It’s rare to see a guest like Mr. Yu visiting with a convoy. I’m afraid the Ye Group is too small to accommodate a big figure like you."

Qin Youxuan patted the back of Ye Mingmei’s hand, signaling her not to worry.

She led her back into the office.

This was Ye Family’s territory, and they needn’t fear anyone.

"I wonder if Mr. Yu gained much from his recent trip to Southeast Asia."

"You’ll find out soon enough how rewarding it was," Yu Xiuzhun arrogantly raised an eyebrow, gave Ye Mingmei a sidelong glance, narrowed his eyes, and walked out.

He left the Ye Corporation quickly with his people.

Watching his back, Ye Mingmei’s nerves loosened, and she nearly couldn’t stand.

"It’s okay now, with us here, Yu Xiuzhun wouldn’t dare act recklessly." Qin Youxuan helped Ye Mingmei sit on the sofa, softly comforting her.

"..."

If it weren’t for Qin Youxuan and the others arriving in time, Ye Mingmei really wouldn’t know what outrageous thing Yu Xiuzhun might do.

This man never puts anyone in his eyes.

Whatever he wants, he would snatch it, regardless of the cost.

She just doesn’t understand why, after disappearing for a month, Yu Xiuzhun suddenly appeared...

"Sis, what did you just say about Southeast Asia? Yu Xiuzhun went to Southeast Asia?"

"Yes, about a month ago, he has been very active in Southeast Asia lately, but even though Yaya and her team blocked him several times, they couldn’t find any evidence, and he got away in the end. Didn’t expect him to suddenly return to the U.S..."

And right upon his return, he comes to find Ye Mingmei.

As soon as Qin Youxuan heard that Yu Xiuzhun came to the Ye Group, she rushed over without a thought.

It was fortunate they came, otherwise, Ye Mingmei would surely suffer losses facing Yu Xiuzhun alone.

"I don’t think this will work, we can’t always arrive in time. I’ll find you some reliable bodyguards to protect you around the clock." Qin Youxuan said, looking at Dan Hanjie.

Dan Hanjie kept a cold face, arms crossed, leaning sideways against the door.

When he heard what Qin Youxuan said, he raised an eyebrow, neither approving nor disapproving.

But Qin Youxuan knew, his non-objection meant agreement.

"It’s decided. I’ll arrange it when I get back. Don’t worry, I’ll ensure you get some skilled guards."

"...Okay."

Ye Mingmei bit her lip, somewhat distracted.

Her attention wasn’t on finding bodyguards at all, but on what Qin Youxuan mentioned earlier.

Yu Xiuzhun never intended to stop, he even personally went to Southeast Asia...

He’s really setting himself against everyone...

"You don’t look well. What did Yu Xiuzhun say to you just now?" Qin Youxuan asked worriedly.

Dan Hanjie ignored the conversation between the two women, stepped forward, and scanned Ye Mingmei’s desk.

His gaze fell on a crumpled calendar paper in the trash.

A corner of it still vaguely showed red markings.

It seemed the date of the eighteenth was circled. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Dan Hanjie’s eyes sharpened, and just as he was about to move his hand, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Jie, Ye Zhanxing has awakened."
