The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 25 - 25 22 021 Meeting Li Ruo

25: Chapter 22 Chapter 021: Meeting Li Ruo 25: Chapter 22 Chapter 021: Meeting Li Ruo “You’d better scram while you still can!” Ye Chen coldly glanced at his opponent.

“Go to hell!” The other roared, his figure bursting forward once more, as he charged toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn’t take his opponent seriously at all.

In this world, aside from that little girl Yao Yue, he doubted anyone else could catch his attention, let alone a few ordinary retired soldiers.

The adversary, baring his teeth and with a hunched back, held a dagger in reverse grip…

“Stop!” A delicate shout suddenly erupted from the crowd.

That guy couldn’t stop even if he tried, clutching the dagger and charging rapidly toward Ye Chen.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yantong raised her gun and shot the man’s thigh.

A sharp crack sent the surrounding spectators retreating, even though the gun was in the hands of a police officer, the fear of firearms still existed among the people.

“Who, who is it?!” The blond-haired youth heard the gunshot and sobered up significantly.

He immediately jumped up, fury surging as he berated Zhang Yantong, “Damn it, who the hell are you?”

“I am the team leader of the Criminal Police Team of Jianghuai City Police Department, Zhang Yantong!” Zhang Yantong strode over to the young man with blond hair and took out her police badge from her jacket pocket and waved it in front of him, saying, “Take a good look!”

Wow wow!!

The blond-haired young man let out a series of exclamations, his thieving eyes sweeping viciously across Zhang Yantong’s chest, then he swallowed hard and said, “So big, so white!”

Pfft…

Ye Chen suddenly burst into laughter.

Geez, this kid really has guts, boldly teasing a female police officer?

He guessed the kid was in for a smackdown.

Just as expected, Zhang Yantong’s willowy eyebrows inverted, and with a swift elbow strike, she landed a heavy blow on the young man’s abdomen.

Little Huang Mao immediately felt a piercing pain, his eyes bulging and his mouth frothing white.

“Shit…” Little Huang Mao clutched his abdomen, spinning in place and wailing, “I…

I’m gonna kill you!”

“Publicly insulting a public servant, an added degree to your crime!” Zhang Yantong waved her hand and turned to the few police officers behind, “Take him away!”

“Ah?!” Those officers were old hands, each of them stunned for a moment they knew what kind of person Little Huang Mao was better than anyone.

Since Zhang Yantong had not been working in Jianghuai City for long, she was unaware of this fellow’s true identity.

One of the officers hurriedly leaned in and said, “Captain Zhang, this guy can’t be arrested!”

“Why?” Zhang Yantong frowned, already grasping some of the situation, guessing the guy must be someone significant.

“He…

he’s the son of the *** family!” The police officer murmured, and although his voice was soft, Ye Chen’s hearing was incredibly sharp.

Despite the quietness, Ye Chen still heard him clearly.

His heart immediately tightened.

Damn, it was the son of the City Secretary.

This could be trouble, he thought as he watched Zhang Yantong nervously, wondering how the girl would handle this.

“You’re ***’s son?” Zhang Yantong’s phoenix eyes stared at him.

“That’s right.

Now you’re scared, aren’t you?” Little Huang Mao massaged his belly, easing some of the pain, stood up straight, and with a smug smile looked at Zhang Yantong, “Wasn’t Captain Cui the team leader?

When did it become you?”

“Captain Cui has been promoted to deputy commander, so the role of team leader is fully handed over to me!” Zhang Yantong replied coldly, “Come with me!”

“Go where?” Little Huang Mao raised his brows, looking at Zhang Yantong with a puzzled face, “To a hotel?”

Clang!

Zhang Yantong slung handcuffs onto his head, causing a sizeable bump to swell up immediately.

Little Huang Mao covered his head and cried in pain, “Damn, damn, I’m Jiang Zhonggen’s son, you dare to hit me?

Believe it or not, I’ll have your uniform stripped off by tomorrow!”

“Take him away!” Zhang Yantong snapped the handcuffs on with a click, locking his wrists together.

The officers behind didn’t dare to disobey the order and quickly stepped forward to press the young master into the police car.

Instantly, thunderous applause rang out around them.

The street vendors at the gates of Jianghuai University were all hardworking common people who seldom had anyone stand up for them.

Seeing Zhang Yantong’s awe-inspiring resolve that day won their hearts.

“Good, fantastic, at last someone is standing up for justice for us!”

“That’s right, police are normally like turtles hiding in their shells!”

The crowd cheered, nodding to each other, highly appreciating the police’s conduct this time.

“Brother Chen!” Liu Momo hurriedly approached, took Ye Chen’s arm, and looked him up and down with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, what could happen to Brother Chen?” Ye Chen chuckled and gently pinched her delicate nose bridge, “Weren’t you frightened?

What you did today was right, if anything happens, you must call Brother Chen first, understand?”

“Mm!” Liu Momo nodded, her face beaming with happiness as she clung to Ye Chen’s arm, then rested her head gently on his shoulder.

Zhang Yantong glanced at Ye Chen, surprise flickering in her eyes before she regained her composure, a slight smile at the corner of her mouth as she walked over to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, remember our agreement!”

“Don’t worry, Captain Zhang!” Ye Chen waved his hand.

The police car siren wailed off into the distance, taking Little Huang Mao with it.

The several bodyguards left at the scene were propping themselves up, some in disbelief.

Damn it, have the cops gone rogue these days?

They even dare to arrest the son of the City Secretary.

The guys hastily jumped into their cars and pulled out their phones to call for help.

“Brother Chen, do you know that police officer?” Liu Momo said with a sly smile.

“That’s…

a secret!” Ye Chen chuckled.

“Hmph, bad guy!” Liu Momo let go of Ye Chen’s arm and turned to leave.

“Fine, if you won’t tell, then forget it!”

It wasn’t that Ye Chen refused to tell her, but rather, he didn’t want Liu Momo to know he was working with the police to take down the drug den that Zhang Dadan and others were operating in University City.

Liu Momo, this little Ni, had her heart set on him, which left Ye Chen always uncertain about what to do.

After helping the mother and daughter pack up their stall, he followed them, helping Mrs.

Liu push the tricycle.

“Brother Chen, you should head back!” Liu Momo, tilting her head, said, “It’s getting late.

Go get some rest.

I have class tomorrow too!”

“Okay, I’ll walk you to the crossing up ahead and then head back,” Ye Chen nodded.

He knew Mrs.

Liu seemed to prefer that he not get too close to Liu Momo, but considering that Ye Chen had saved them from being bullied so many times, she felt conflicted about interfering too much.

Her stance on Ye Chen and Liu Momo’s interactions could be described as neither supportive nor opposed.

Because of Mrs.

Liu, Liu Momo kept winking and making faces at Ye Chen from behind, her pure and cute antics touched a chord deep in the heart.

This girl was so beautiful and a bit devilishly clever, bringing joy every now and then.

Looking at Liu Momo, he suddenly remembered his old companions from the orphanage.

“Brother Chen, we’re heading back now!” Liu Momo hopped lightly onto the tricycle, resting her hand on her cheek, and sticking out her tongue before waving goodbye to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stood at the intersection, watching Liu Momo and her mother safely cross the lights, then turned to walk back.

Just as he did, a cherry red convertible BMW Z4 came screeching to a halt right in front of Ye Chen, nearly scaring the soul out of his body, thinking some damn fool was illegally racing.

When he took a closer look, goddamn it, wasn’t that Mr.

Li, the beautiful CEO of Tianya Group?

Damn, was this little Ni having a fit?

Coming out for street racing in the middle of the night?

“Mr…

Mr.

Li?!” Ye Chen was startled.

“Get in!” Li Ruo nodded at him.

Not understanding, but not wanting to defy the beauty, he scrambled into the car.

Speaking of which, Li Ruo’s nighttime attire was a stark contrast to her daytime apparel—if by day she was all business and restrained in her expressions, by nighttime she was all kinds of strange, wearing revealing clothes, black shorts that barely reached her thighs, and a small tank top that showed off her graceful shoulders.

At the sight of it, Ye Chen’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He nervously asked, “Where…

where are we going?”

“Xiangming Mountain!” Li Ruo threw out three cold words.

“What are we doing there?” Ye Chen’s eyes widened in surprise, as Xiangming Mountain was a landmark hill in Jianghuai City, with vegetation covering eighty percent of the area, located southeast of the city near the sea.

The mountain roads were rugged but had been developed as a tourist spot by Jianghuai City twenty years earlier, making Xiangming Mountain a prime destination for sightseeing.

“Racing!” Li Ruo said with a cunning smile.

“Damn, are you kidding me?” Ye Chen gasped in shock, unable to strap on his seatbelt in time, as the high-performance BMW Z4 suddenly reversed, almost causing his head to hit the dashboard.

Before he could react, a sudden burst of acceleration shot the sports car forward.

In less than three seconds, it accelerated to a hundred miles per hour, Ye Chen’s heart nearly leapt out of his chest.

However, Li Ruo next to him was a picture of concentration, her face flush with nervousness as she worked the steering wheel and pedals relentlessly.

The car zoomed from the city center, speeding past the urban-rural interface.

“Shit, a sports car?!”

“Damn it, looks like a beauty driving the car?”

Several local villagers strolling by hurriedly clutched their straw hats, exclaiming at the sight of the fiery red BMW racing past them.

They pointed and chattered about the car, something they had never seen before.

Their eyes sparkled with delight, each one inwardly thinking they’d now seen something of the world.

“Sister, even a sports car shouldn’t be driven like this?” Ye Chen felt helpless as the BMW Z4’s performance was extremely potent, almost impossible to handle for an average person, especially this Z435i model in Li Ruo’s hands.

It was fitted with a powerful dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox, and it was said that anyone trying to handle it would end up killed, as one would need nerves of steel and responses faster than lightning to master it—unless they were crawling along.

Ye Chen watched Li Ruo, her forehead beaded with perspiration, utterly immersed in the thrill of driving, and he couldn’t help but reach out to wipe her sweat.

“Stop distracting me!” Li Ruo didn’t take her eyes off the road as the car speeded along.

They quickly arrived at Xiangming Mountain, which wasn’t very steep, but was full of twists and turns.

“Sister, don’t mess around!” Ye Chen watched as Li Ruo bit her red lips, her face determined as if she was about to gamble it all, and especially nervous about the upcoming series of curves.

He suddenly shouted, “Hey, hey…

stop the car, don’t mess around, be careful you don’t fly off a cliff!”

Screech…

Li Ruo slammed the gas pedal, leaving a black mark on the ground.

If it wasn’t for Ye Chen’s chaotic shouting, she might have already zoomed past, but his shouts made her lose her nerve.

“Asshole, what are you yelling for?” Li Ruo glared at Ye Chen, her willow-shaped eyebrows inverted, her beautiful eyes filled with fury.

“Err…

you’re not skilled enough, there are three consecutive curves ahead, the slightest negligence could mean losing both our lives!” Ye Chen wiped off his sweat, relieved that the girl hadn’t taken a risk.

Otherwise, even the Heavenly King wouldn’t be able to help them.

He quickly opened the car door, saying, “If you’re going to crash, do it alone, I’d rather walk back!”

“Get back here!” Li Ruo shouted angrily.

“What for?

I don’t want to die with you, although you are indeed pretty, but…” Ye Chen said, shaking his head, “You’re not my type, too ice-cold, like an iceberg!”

“You…” Li Ruo had never been reprimanded like this and immediately got angry: “Think you can drive better?

Hmph, bumpkin, I bet you’ve never even seen a sports car before?”

Huh!
