"Are you okay? Why do you look so roughed up?"
As soon as Ye Fan entered the CEO’s office, he was surrounded by Chu Mengyao and Ye Juanjuan from left and right.
Seeing Ye Fan covered in dust, the two girls didn’t need to think to know that something dangerous had happened.
"I’m fine, see? I’m standing here just fine." Ye Fan’s heart felt warm, dismissing it casually.
"What exactly happened?" Chu Mengyao urgently asked.
"Someone tried to kill me, using Juanjuan as leverage to lure me to a place, but the trouble has been resolved, don’t worry." Ye Fan didn’t hide the truth; being honest was the best way to stop the girls from overthinking, so there was no need to conceal it.
"Despicable." Chu Mengyao said furiously.
"Brother, it’s all my fault. If I weren’t so useless, I wouldn’t have brought trouble to you." Ye Juanjuan blamed herself, almost crying.
"Silly girl, it’s me who brought trouble to you. As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters." Ye Fan patted Juanjuan’s head to comfort her.
Chu Mengyao scolded, "Who has the guts to act so recklessly in broad daylight?"
"I don’t know the origin of the culprits yet. Their actions are elusive, and they haven’t revealed their identities." Ye Fan said calmly.
At this moment, Ye Fan’s phone rang, with another text message.
"If you want Shen Yahut to live, come to Boss Entertainment City," Ye Fan looked at the text, and rage flared.
Ji Tian had already made a move, thinking Ye Fan was dead as he captured Shen Yahut to threaten Ye Fan. This was Meng Hao’s doing. Meng Hao was unaware that Ji Tian had acted first.
"Where’s Shen Yahut?" Ye Fan asked.
"I don’t know, I was only focused on worrying about you and Juanjuan’s safety and didn’t notice Shen Yahut. She should be here with me, as she’s never late and it’s strange that she’s missing today." Chu Mengyao said, full of confusion.
"Juanjuan, you go rest downstairs for a while." Ye Fan didn’t want Juanjuan to worry and decided to send her away temporarily.
"Okay!" Ye Juanjuan, unsuspecting, went downstairs.
"What’s going on?" Chu Mengyao sensed something amiss.
Ye Fan handed the phone to Mengyao and said, "Look at this message."
"Why is it ? What should we do?" Chu Mengyao worriedly said, as Shen Yahut was like a sister to her, handling many company matters. Shen Yahut was not just her secretary but also her friend.
Thinking that Shen Yahut might be in trouble, she immediately became anxious.
"Don’t worry, things will be solved." Ye Fan gently comforted, though his heart was surging with murderous intent.
First Juanjuan, now Shen Yahut.
Ye Fan had Shen Yahut’s number to facilitate contact, after all, Shen Yahut was Mengyao’s capable assistant.
Ye Fan was now uncertain of who’s behind the scenes, but he was sure that the ones who threatened Juanjuan and took Shen Yahut weren’t the same. It’s clear that Shen Yahut wasn’t just being threatened, and after leaving the explosion scene, the ones who arranged the trap probably thought he was dead. If they were in league, such a message wouldn’t appear now. But regardless of who they are behind, he was now furious.
"What should we do now?" Chu Mengyao was directionless.
"I’m going to Boss Entertainment City. Wait for my good news." Ye Fan already had a plan.
"I want to go with you." Chu Mengyao insisted.
"No way, if you come along there’s a high chance you’ll be in danger. Wait here for me." Ye Fan pulled Chu Mengyao to sit down gently, saying, "Don’t worry, I will bring Shen Yahut back safely."
"I believe you, but I’m still worried about you." The consecutive crises had made Chu Mengyao deeply anxious.
"Just look at the man standing in front of you; no problem can hold me back." Ye Fan said confidently.
Ye Fan took a computer, and under Chu Mengyao’s longing gaze, left.
On the way to the cement factory, he hadn’t paid much attention, which caused the explosion afterward, but now he wouldn’t be led by the nose. He would take the initiative, locate Shen Yahut, and charge in directly.
In the car, Ye Fan wrote a program, then linked it to his phone, and called Shen Yahut’s number.
As long as the other side answered, he could pinpoint the location of Shen Yahut’s phone and locate them.
The phone rang for a while, and then a harsh male voice answered, "You must be that Ye kid, huh? What now, trying some tricks? I’ll warn you, come alone. If you play any tricks, I’ll kill that woman."
The speaking man was the owner of Boss Entertainment City.
"Is she okay? If you want me to come, that’s fine; I want to hear her voice to ensure she’s safe." Ye Fan requested.
"Quite smart, a little sharp." On the other side, in a private room, the club owner sneered and instructed, "Remove the gag from that woman."
One of the underlings removed the fabric blocking Shen Yahut’s mouth.
The club owner grinned at Shen Yahut and said, "I’ll give you a chance to breathe. Remember, only say three words; if you say even one more, I’ll beat you to death."
"Don’t worry about me." Shen Yahut managed to say, just four words, before her mouth was blocked again by the quick-handed underling.
"Smack!" The club owner directly slapped Shen Yahut’s cheek and cursed, "Damn it, I said three words, you dare say four, courting a beating?"
He then looked coldly at the underling, kicked him, and knocked him to the ground.
"Dammit, what good are you? I told you she could only say three words, and you couldn’t even manage that. She got the time to say four!" The owner reprimanded the underling.
"Boss, I know I was wrong." The underling shakily apologized, bowing his head.
"Useless, get outta here." The owner kicked the underling away.
The call wasn’t ended, and Ye Fan heard the owner’s voice clearly, including the slap Shen Yahut received.
"Come to me, quickly, or before I kill her, I might not resist doing something to that woman." The club owner warned and hung up.
"Die." Ye Fan uttered coldly, filled with killing intent.
He felt no sympathy toward the club owner; daring to harm Shen Yahut was unforgivable, and only death awaited him.
He had already pinpointed Shen Yahut’s location.
Without further delay, he drove off swiftly.
If he faced a skilled hacker, his tracking might have been detected, but for someone like the club owner, they wouldn’t even dream that a simple call revealed their location.
