"I thought who it was! It turns out to be just a puny security guard..."
Young Master Fei had just started, and before he could even begin his standard four-part villain sequence, Gu Xiyue stole the scene!
"Are you one of Wang Yong's men? So lacking in manners. This is none of your business, step aside!"
Gu Xiyue scolded him, her eyes looking to the side to search for her head of security.
A burly man nearby hurriedly pulled Ye Chen back and walked him away, "I'm sorry, President Gu. My subordinate lacks discipline. Ye Chen, what are you doing? Step aside!"
Seeing that the woman he had long regarded as his exclusive prize was actually about to become someone else's girlfriend, Ye Chen felt that the dignity of the Dragon King had been challenged, and his anger surged.
For over twenty years, he had always been the one ignoring others; in the Dragon King Palace, no one had ever dared to ignore him like this!
Woman, you cannot escape the palm of my hand.
With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Chen brushed aside Wang Yong, the head of security, and closed in on Gu Xiyue.
"Xiyue, you said it yourself. You said that you wouldn't talk about love before leading the Gu Corporation to become the top company in South City and leading the Gu Family to become the top family, that it would be impossible even if your father forced you."
Looking at Ye Chen's infatuated expression, Gu Xiyue felt a chill run through her and waved her hand to drive him away.
Immediately after, Gu Xiyue quickly realized something was wrong and pressed, "And why would you say that? This is my own personal business! I have never said such a thing outside!"
Right, Young Master Fei remembered Gu Xiyue's character setting in the original plot.
Although Gu Xiyue had rejected numerous suitors over the past few years, including Fei Yangyao, she had never actually made such a statement, because she knew that such words would never pass her father's test.
Her patriarch-worshipping father, Gu Menggang, looked down on Gu Xiyue's abilities, did not believe that a woman could become the backbone of the family, and ignored the achievements Gu Xiyue had made while leading the Gu Family to a gradual prosperity. He remained stubborn in his notions, always thinking of finding a son-in-law to revitalize the entire Gu Family.
If it weren't for Fei Yangyao's bad reputation and his failure to act like a decent man, old Gu might have already married Gu Xiyue off long ago.
Yet, because Fei Yangyao had scared away other suitors over the past two and a half years, there was no other choice for the time being, and this matter had dragged on until now.
On the other side.
Ye Chen wanted to swallow up the Gu Corporation, so he kept his eyes on Gu Xiyue's computer.
An accidental opportunity the day before yesterday allowed him to hack the surveillance cameras while Gu Xiyue was away. He quietly sneaked into her office and used hacking tools to crack the password of her laptop.
As it turned out, the computer was unlocked, but it didn't contain any corporate data. He had cracked the wrong thing! What he had broken into was a personal computer containing Gu Xiyue's diary!
Her corporate computer had been taken away by her!
Ye Chen was secretly startled. No wonder every time she carried her laptop bag it was so thick; it turned out there were two laptops inside!
Who would have thought of that in their right mind?
Ye Chen had hurriedly skimmed two entries and was just about to download them to pry into Gu Xiyue's privacy so he could better conquer her and the Gu Family when the lookout outside sent a warning that Gu Xiyue was coming back!
This was a private domain that required a password, and Ye Chen temporarily had no time to crack it. He could only hurriedly restore everything to its original state and leave, waiting to sneak in and try again another day.
"This..."
Even Ye Chen hadn't expected that in his rush he would blurt this matter out. In the past, his resourceful self had never committed such a stupid mistake!
Young Master Fei thought to himself: What is going on with Ye Chen? How did he expose the bad things he did?
As expected, one cannot hold any expectations for the protagonist of a Dragon King novel.
However, why did the female lead discover it directly? Is she this smart?
She was able to grasp a handle on his words all at once.
It didn't feel like this in the original book! Was it written this way?
Seeing Ye Chen stammering and unable to utter a word, Gu Xiyue became even more suspicious.
In his heart, Young Master Fei was agonizing, terrified that Ye Chen might lose his sanity due to excessive emotional agitation in a moment and accidentally spill out all the ugly deeds he had committed.
Therefore, he decisively issued an order to his subordinates, telling them to immediately pounce on Ye Chen.
"You brat, get lost over there right away! What are you few still standing there for? Hurry up and come over, throw this death-seeking thing into the corner!"
In this way, not only could he bail Ye Chen out and successfully divert Gu Xiyue's attention to avoid being suspected and disliked by the female lead, but he could also drive the plot forward and smoothly enter the exciting segment of "getting his face slapped".
Hehe, it was simply wonderful!
Young Master Fei suddenly felt that he was an absolute genius.
To be able to think of such an exquisite method in such an urgent situation.
A dark-skinned subordinate quickly stepped out and roared viciously at Ye Chen, "Brat, did you hear that? Hurry up and get out of the way!" With that, he led the other bodyguards beside him and aggressively closed in on Ye Chen.
Seeing this formation, Ye Chen sneered. Although his Thousand Yang Divine Art had only just entered the elementary stage, dealing with a few bodyguards was no problem at all, and he resolved them in a flash.
Then, Ye Chen smiled disdainfully, his eyes filled with confidence and contempt, clapped his hands, and walked toward Young Master Fei...
"Ye Chen! What are you doing? You're fired, get lost!" Gu Xiyue never dreamed that this puny security guard would be so arrogant, despotic, and unruly.
However, Ye Chen paid no heed to her warning whatsoever and continued to stride quickly toward Young Master Fei.
Imitating his role in the book, Young Master Fei blustered and shouted arrogantly, "What? You, a mere insignificant little security guard, dare to lay a hand on me? Do you know who I am?"
"Young Master Fei of the Fei family, so what?"
At this very moment, Ye Chen still firmly believed that it was Young Master Fei who had used his family background and power to force Gu Xiyue into submission.
Just now, when he saw Gu Xiyue talking privately with Young Master Fei in the distance, the painful and helpless expression on her face had deeply engraved itself in the bottom of his heart (or so he thought).
He knew very well that Gu Xiyue was definitely not the kind of person to easily yield to pressure, so it must have been Young Master Fei who used despicable means to force her into agreeing to become his girlfriend.
However, even if the Fei Family was the most powerful among the Four Great Families in South City, in Ye Chen's eyes they were nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs, merely a group of ants that could be reduced to ashes with the flick of a finger.
Seeing the situation return to the right track, Young Master Fei's eyes were brimming with tears. It wasn't easy, it really wasn't easy! The plot has finally been pulled back on track, and I can finally recite a few lines to add some points for myself.
