Ye Chen smiled and said, "In this world, there’s never been an enemy I couldn’t defeat."
Su Yuwei was startled.
What Ye Chen said was true.
Though she knew Ye Chen was very powerful, she still didn’t believe that Ye Chen could defeat Shen Junjie.
Su Yuwei felt an odd sensation in her heart, as if she was dreaming, making it all seem somewhat unreal.
"Alright, let’s leave this cruise ship, I don’t want to play here anymore." Su Yuwei pulled Ye Chen by the arm and walked out.
Ye Chen nodded and followed Su Yuwei out.
Stepping off the yacht, Su Yuwei took a deep breath and patted her chest, saying with lingering fear, "Thank goodness, we’ve finally escaped those claws."
Su Yuwei also felt a bit lucky in her heart, thankful that it was Ye Chen she had encountered today.
Otherwise, she would have been in deep trouble.
Thinking of Ye Chen’s prowess, Su Yuwei couldn’t help but feel exhilarated again.
Her gaze fell on Ye Chen’s right arm.
Ye Chen’s right arm was wrapped in bandages, with blood soaking through the gauze, and a vague glimpse of a muddled flesh wound could be seen.
Seeing this, a trace of guilt appeared on Su Yuwei’s face.
"I’m so sorry, it’s all because of me that you were injured," Su Yuwei said softly.
"It’s okay," Ye Chen replied with a slight smile, "It’s just a small wound, don’t worry about it."
"But it looks very serious, what if it leaves a scar?" Su Yuwei was a bit anxious, "Don’t lie to me anymore, it must hurt a lot."
Ye Chen laughed, "It’s nothing, it’s just a superficial skin wound."
"Impossible!" Su Yuwei insisted, "You’re bleeding, it must hurt a lot."
"Really, don’t worry," Ye Chen reassured.
However, Su Yuwei didn’t believe it and reached out to touch Ye Chen’s wrist.
Ye Chen did not stop her.
A moment later, Su Yuwei’s complexion drastically changed, and she exclaimed, "Your hand is so cold, you’re not having a fever, are you?"
As soon as Su Yuwei finished speaking, she noticed that Ye Chen’s forehead was covered in sweat.
"Ye Chen, are you okay?" Su Yuwei called out nervously.
Ye Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I’m fine, it must be the sea breeze."
His body was soaked in sweat, sticky and uncomfortable on his skin.
However, seeing Su Yuwei’s worried expression, Ye Chen felt it was all worth it.
A warm current surged through his heart.
"Ye Chen, you’re such a weirdo, surely you can’t even withstand the sea breeze," Su Yuwei said with a hint of doubt.
Ye Chen smiled and didn’t explain.
This feeling was nice.
"Alright, let’s go back," said Ye Chen.
"Okay," Su Yuwei nodded.
Ye Chen and Su Yuwei got in the car and drove home.
Along the way, Ye Chen remained silent, resting his head on the window, eyes closed, conserving energy.
"Hey, why are you not talking? Is it the wound that hurts? Do we need to go to the hospital?" Su Yuwei asked, looking at Ye Chen’s profile.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I’m fine, don’t worry."
Su Yuwei sighed, "Sigh, you’re so seriously injured and still being stubborn."
"It’s really no big deal!" Ye Chen opened his eyes and assured Su Yuwei.
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Chen suddenly felt the world spinning and then passed out.
Opening his eyes again, Ye Chen stared at the white ceiling, realizing he was lying in a hospital bed.
Ye Chen sat up and looked around, then remembered the incident with Su Yuwei that happened last night.
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.
"You’re awake?" A nurse walked in and asked.
"What happened to me?" Ye Chen asked.
The nurse smiled and said, "You drank too much last night and then got a fever. I gave you an IV, and you’re much better now."
Ye Chen smiled, "Thank you, you’re a really good nurse."
"Hehe, it’s nothing. You’re a VIP patient that our director personally instructed us to take care of, so of course, we have to be diligent!" the nurse said cheerfully.
"Oh? The director personally instructed this?" Ye Chen was taken aback.
"That’s right, our own director!" the nurse said.
Ye Chen suddenly understood; it must have been Su Yuwei who used her connections to have the hospital take special care of him.
"How are you feeling now? Any better?" the nurse asked with concern.
"Much better," Ye Chen nodded.
"If you’re feeling better, you can go through the discharge procedures," the nurse said.
"Discharge procedures? Why?" Ye Chen asked.
"Your injury is still in the recovery stage, and it’s best to be discharged," the nurse patiently explained. "Besides, your injury isn’t a big issue anymore, you just need to continue your antibiotic injections, and staying a few more days should be no problem."
Just as Ye Chen was about to explain, the door to the ward was suddenly opened.
Su Yuwei walked in and said to the nurse, "Please help us with the hospitalization procedures."
After seeing Su Yuwei, the nurse immediately smiled and said, "No problem, I’ll handle it right away."
"Ye Chen, how’s your injury? Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere?" Su Yuwei asked with concern.
Ye Chen slightly smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m already fine."
"That’s great!" Su Yuwei’s smile was radiant.
"I’m hungry," Ye Chen said.
"Then I’ll go buy some breakfast." Su Yuwei turned and ran out.
After Su Yuwei left, Ye Chen’s face immediately darkened.
"How is it?" A young man wearing a duckbill cap, black frame glasses, and casual clothes appeared in front of Ye Chen and sneered.
"Who are you?" Ye Chen frowned.
This young man was tall and thin, with handsome features, but with a touch of villainy.
He had a carefree and irreverent demeanour.
Such a person was surely no ordinary individual.
"Ye Chen, I didn’t expect you to have forgotten me," the young man said.
"Should I know you?" Ye Chen replied.
Ye Chen indeed didn’t recognize this young man.
"You don’t know me? Haha... I am He Wenlong, the CEO of He Group; surely you’ve heard of it, right?" the young man said with a cold laugh.
The He Group? Ye Chen was startled, recalling the details of all the companies he knew.
"So you are the young master of He Group, no wonder you are so arrogant," Ye Chen said.
"Now that you know my identity, you should understand why I’ve come to see you today," He Wenlong said with a cold sneer. "I heard that last night, Shen Junjie sought you out and threatened you?"
"Correct," Ye Chen admitted.
Although he wasn’t afraid of He Group, it was, after all, a behemoth; there was no need to oppose them.
Moreover, the conflict between the He Group and the Ye Family had been ongoing for more than a day or two. If the obstacle that was He Group wasn’t dealt with, Ye Chen simply could not focus on his own affairs.
He Wenlong snorted coldly, "Well, I’m telling you now, Shen Junjie is already dead!"
