At this moment, the entire lobby was as quiet as a tomb.
Everyone stared at the somewhat slender young man in disbelief.
"Damn, is this a movie shoot?"
"Wow, what the hell is this monster?"
"This... he... he killed... killed someone!"
The receptionists, who were already frightened by the two security guards, hid behind them in fear. In their eyes, the security guards of the group were already terrifying, but this young man in cheap clothes was even more terrifying!
The key was, they didn't even see him make a move!
Ye Chen glanced at the two unconscious security guards, shook his head helplessly, and then went to the waiting area in the lobby, plopping down on the sofa as if nothing had happened. He even picked up a magazine and started reading, acting as if nothing had happened.
"By the way, do you know when Xia Ruoxue will come down?" Ye Chen put down the magazine and suddenly looked at the men in suits sitting next to him.
The business partners who had been waiting for Xia Ruoxue were so frightened that they jumped up from the sofa and ran outside.
They didn't want to die!
"Sigh, I'm not going to hurt you, is it necessary to run away? Forget it, I'll wait a bit longer." Ye Chen shook his head and continued reading the magazine in his hand.
Huamei Group's security department was the first to know about this incident and responded swiftly, quickly summoning more than a dozen security guards.
Each of the security guards was fully armed, holding a riot shield in their left hand and an electric baton in their right, directly surrounding Ye Chen.
Security team leader Xu Qiang also arrived in time, took a glance at the broken glass outside and the two injured security guards, frowned deeply, and then approached Ye Chen.
Xu Qiang, a retired special forces soldier, was once a top figure in the Southeast Military Region, but when he saw Ye Chen, he instinctively felt a hint of threat.
This was an intuition of death that had been honed over years on the brink of life and death!
Xu Qiang took a step forward and probed, "Sir, it's not good for you to cause trouble at Huamei Group like this. We have contacted the Jiangcheng police, and it won't be long before the armed SWAT team arrives."
Ye Chen looked up, glanced at Xu Qiang, and said indifferently, "You should be the leader of those two guys, right? Don't you want to understand the specific situation? I just wanted to sit here and wait for someone."
Xu Qiang's heart skipped a beat; he was also aware of the personalities of those two security guards, who had always been showing off their authority, and it was clear that today they had met their match.
But how to deal with this young man in front of him? Seeing the fearless look on this guy's face, could it be that someone in the group is backing him?
Xu Qiang softened his tone a bit and asked, "Sir, may I know who you are waiting for? I can help you notify them."
Ye Chen's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Xia Ruoxue."
Almost instantly, Xu Qiang's expression changed. If it had been someone else, he might have been able to notify them. But for Xia Ruoxue, it was different!
As the president and CEO of Huamei Group, and the eldest daughter of the Xia family, the most prominent family in Jiangnan Province, Xia Ruoxue was not someone who could be seen casually!
Moreover, Xia Ruoxue had stated that without an appointment, she would not see anyone!
The young man before him was, to some extent, very dangerous! Xu Qiang could not allow him to see President Xia!
"Sir, I'm sorry, but President Xia is not available today. If you have any message, you can leave your contact information, and I can relay it for you," Xu Qiang said.
Ye Chen was very clear that Xia Ruoxue was upstairs. This time, he had intentionally caused a commotion to draw her out, so he certainly would not allow Xu Qiang to relay any message.
"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll just sit here. Surely, Huamei Group wouldn't refuse me a seat."
Xu Qiang immediately recognized Ye Chen's intention and snorted coldly: "Sir, you're asking for trouble. Since that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to take action. Seize this guy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen security guards moved toward Ye Chen, while Xu Qiang changed his fist into a claw, aiming straight for Ye Chen's vital points!
He knew that the man on the sofa was extremely dangerous! He had to use lethal force!
Ye Chen remained calm, holding a magazine with a nonchalant expression, completely ignoring the people before him.
Just as Xu Qiang was about to reach Ye Chen, a cold voice rang out:
"Wait a moment!"
At the sound of this voice, everyone stopped. A woman quickly emerged from the crowd.
The woman had long, wavy black hair, perfectly styled. Her slender legs were clad in black stockings, showcasing her stunning figure. Her white shirt and knee-length skirt made her appear almost like an untouchable goddess.
But the most striking feature was her exceptionally high and full bosom. The tight shirt stretched to its limit but showed no sign of sagging, delivering a breathtaking visual impact.
The woman's appearance almost made everyone present lose their composure! Her beauty was unmatched in the entire Huamei Group, except for Xia Ruoxue.
Xu Qiang's face flushed slightly as he lowered his head and respectfully said, "Director Sun."
Sun Yi did not respond but kept her gaze fixed on Ye Chen, with a look of surprise and disbelief in her eyes.
Ye Chen's eyes also lit up with excitement!
It was as if a predator had spotted its prey!
Because he recognized the woman before him!
Sun Yi! One of the three women Ye Chen had been obsessively thinking about for the past five years!
Years ago, they had been desk mates for a year. Later, when they entered high school, their different social standings led to their severed contact.
Ye Chen thought they would never have much interaction in this lifetime until the incident at Yunhu Mountain Villa occurred. After he was rescued by his master at Dongqian Lake and went back to the Ye family, he found that the Ye family mansion had been seized by the court, and the Ye family had become a pariah in the whole city of Jiangcheng!
At that time, all the families declared a clean break with the Ye family, cutting off all ties!
At that time, all the companies in Jiangcheng united to seize the Tianzheng Group, founded by his father.
At that time, not even a single person came forward to set up a memorial for the Ye family of three!
Everyone was overshadowed by the man from the capital.
Except for one person: his middle school classmate, Sun Yi!
Sun Yi, defying her family's opposition, went to the mortuary of the number one hospital in Jiangcheng to retrieve the Ye couple's bodies, personally had them cremated at the crematorium, and even erected a tombstone for the Ye family of three on Tiandian Mountain.
A woman who was powerless and had no connection to the Ye family, enduring rumors and fear, ensured that Ye Chen's parents could rest in peace.
Not only did everyone fail to understand, but even Ye Chen could not comprehend.
How could he, Ye Chen, be worthy of such a wonderful girl who sacrificed so much for him!
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Sun Yi finally smiled at Ye Chen, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower.
This smile made all the men present both envious and jealous.
Sun Yi was the dream goddess of countless men at Huamei Group!
Over the past year, Sun Yi had received hundreds of love letters, all of which had been rejected without exception!
In fact, she had hardly smiled at any man throughout the year!
Yet, at this moment, she was actually smiling at a country bumpkin?
What made this country bumpkin so special?
Sun Yi looked at Ye Chen with interest and said, "It seems I was mistaken. I almost thought you were an old classmate of mine. To be honest, you really do resemble him."
After all, five years had passed, and Ye Chen had changed so much that most people wouldn't recognize him.
With that, Sun Yi even patted Xu Qiang's shoulder and instructed, "Captain Xu, don't make things difficult for this young man. If he wants to wait, just let him wait for a while."
Xu Qiang nodded and said no more.
