"I thought it was someone else! Turns out it's just a lowly security guard..."
Young Master Fei had just started, before he could unleash his villainous monologue, Gu Xiyue stole the show!
"Are you one of Little Wang's subordinates? How rude, this doesn't concern you, get lost!"
Gu Xiyue reprimanded him, her eyes searching for her security captain.
A burly man beside her quickly pulled Ye Chen back. "Apologies, President Gu, my subordinate's discipline is lacking. Ye Chen, what are you doing? Get out of here!"
Seeing the woman he had long considered his exclusive property about to become someone else's girlfriend, Ye Chen felt his dignity as the Dragon King challenged, and rage surged within him.
For over twenty years, he had always been the one to disregard others. In the Dragon King Palace, no one had ever dared to ignore him like this!
Woman, you won't escape my grasp.
Ye Chen casually flicked his wrist, tossing the security captain Wang Yong aside, and advanced on Gu Xiyue.
"Xiyue, you promised. You said you wouldn't date anyone until you led Gu Corporation to become Nancheng's number one company and the Gu family to become the number one great family. Not even if my father pressured me."
Seeing Ye Chen's lecherous expression, Gu Xiyue felt a chill and shoved him away.
Immediately after, Gu Xiyue realized something was wrong and pressed him, "And why would you say that? This is my private business! I've never said that to anyone outside!"
Right, Young Master Fei remembered the female lead's character setting in the original plot.
Although Gu Xiyue had rejected many suitors, including Fei Yangyao, over the years, she hadn't actually made such a statement. She knew her father wouldn't approve.
Her father, Gu Menggang, who favored males over females, looked down on Gu Xiyue's abilities. He didn't believe a woman could be the pillar of the family. He ignored Gu Xiyue's achievements as she led the Gu family to prosperity, stubbornly clinging to his belief that they needed a son-in-law to revitalize the entire Gu family.
If Fei Yangyao didn't have such a bad reputation and didn't seem like a good match, Old Gu might have already married Gu Xiyue off.
However, because Fei Yangyao had scared away other suitors over the past two and a half years, there were no other options for the time being, and the matter had been dragging on.
Meanwhile.
Ye Chen wanted to take over the Gu family, so he had been monitoring Gu Xiyue's computer.
Two days ago, by chance, while Gu Xiyue was away, he hacked the surveillance system, sneaked into her office, and used hacking tools to crack her laptop password.
The computer was unlocked, but it didn't contain any company information. He had cracked the wrong one! He had broken into her personal laptop containing her diary!
The company computer had been taken by her!
Ye Chen was secretly shocked. No wonder her laptop bag was always so thick; it contained two laptops!
But who would normally think of that?
Ye Chen quickly scanned a couple of entries, intending to download them to pry into Gu Xiyue's private life and thus better conquer her and the Gu family. Suddenly, an insider outside gave a warning: Gu Xiyue was returning!
This was a private domain that required a password. Ye Chen didn't have time to crack it, so he quickly restored everything to its original state and left, planning to infiltrate again another day.
"This..."
Ye Chen hadn't expected to blurt it out in his haste. He, who had always been strategic, had never made such a foolish mistake before!
What's going on with Ye Chen? Why did he expose his own misdeeds? Young Master Fei wondered.
As expected, I shouldn't have any expectations for the protagonist of a Dragon King novel.
But how did the female lead discover it so quickly? Is she that smart?
She immediately caught the handle in his words.
I didn't get that impression in the original work! Is that how it was written?
Seeing Ye Chen stammering and unable to speak, Gu Xiyue grew even more suspicious.
Young Master Fei inwardly lamented, fearing that Ye Chen might lose his temper and accidentally spill all his past misdeeds.
Therefore, he decisively issued an order to his subordinates, telling them to immediately pounce on Ye Chen.
"Brat, get out of the way! What are you guys standing around for? Hurry up and throw this suicidal fool into a corner!"
This way, he could not only help Ye Chen out of his predicament and successfully divert Gu Xiyue's attention, avoiding suspicion and dislike from the female lead, but also advance the plot and smoothly enter the exciting "face-slapping" segment.
Heh heh, brilliant!
Young Master Fei suddenly felt like a genius.
To come up with such an ingenious plan in such a critical situation.
A dark-skinned subordinate quickly stepped forward and snarled at Ye Chen, "Brat, did you hear me? Get out of the way!" With that, he led the other bodyguards beside him to menacingly approach Ye Chen.
Seeing the formation, Ye Chen sneered. Although he had only just begun practicing the Thousand Yang Divine Art, dealing with a few bodyguards was no problem. He finished them off in a flash.
Then, Ye Chen gave a contemptuous smile, his eyes filled with confidence and disdain. He clapped his hands and walked towards Young Master Fei...
"Ye Chen! What do you think you're doing? You're fired, get out!" Gu Xiyue never dreamed that this lowly security guard would be so arrogant and unruly.
However, Ye Chen completely ignored her warning and continued to walk quickly towards Young Master Fei.
Young Master Fei, playing the part from the book, blustered, "What? You, a trivial security guard, dare to lay hands on me? Do you know who I am?"
"Young Master Fei of the Fei family, so what?"
At this 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.
Earlier, when he saw Gu Xiyue talking privately with Young Master Fei from a distance, her pained and helpless expression had been deeply imprinted in his mind (or so he thought).
He knew well that Gu Xiyue was not the type to easily succumb to pressure, so it must have been Young Master Fei who used despicable means to force her to agree to become his girlfriend.
However, even though the Fei family was the most powerful among Nancheng's Four Great Families, in Ye Chen's eyes, they were nothing more than mere chickens and dogs, a bunch of ants that could be annihilated with a flick of his finger.
Seeing the situation back on track, Young Master Fei's eyes welled up with tears. It had been so difficult, so difficult! He had finally managed to steer the plot back, and now he could deliver a few lines to boost his own score.
