"Boss, are you going to deal with someone?" Hearing what Ye Chen said, John asked curiously. Ye Chen had called all of them from Heizhou just to deal with one person? With such a large gathering, it seemed that what Ye Chen wanted to handle this time was not a minor character.
"Yes, and this guy is very difficult to deal with," Ye Chen nodded solemnly. He felt no need to hide anything about this situation and spoke candidly. Through their last short confrontation, although Ye Chen didn't know Jiang Che's specific cultivation level, he knew he must be a martial artist! Once a martial artist's cultivation reached Huajin, they would not be easy to handle. Huajin warriors could release their true energy, picking flowers and flying leaves, killing invisibly, which made them extremely formidable. Ordinary pistols would be of little use against Jiang Che without a detailed plan. Although Huajin warriors could not completely resist bullet damage, their agility allowed them to dodge easily, striking directly from the air!
"Then how do we deal with him without a man on the ground?" John frowned. Except for Ye Chen, none of the mercenaries had any martial arts skills. Although they were physically fit, they would be no match for Jiang Che in a one-on-one fight. When they first entered the country, the inspection was so strict that they couldn't bring any guns in at all.
"I will find a way to resolve the gun issue. You guys should focus on training here and wait for my news." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he stood up, intending to leave. Before heading out, he glanced back at John and the group, warning, "This is Kyushu; don't mess around. Without a legal identity, if you're exposed, you'll be in serious danger!" This group of men had no legal status in Kyushu, and it would be troublesome if they were tracked down. Ye Chen had just returned to Tianbei City for a few days and lacked power. If something happened to this group, he might be directly implicated if he couldn't find them.
"Relax, boss. We know how to be careful." John assured him, clearly aware of the seriousness of the situation. He intended to stay put until notified by Ye Chen. After all, this was a club; they could afford to relax. He had been killing people in Heizhou these days, and his heart felt heavy.
After leaving the clubhouse, Ye Chen took a taxi back to the Su Group. Since he was still Su Qingyue's bodyguard, it was natural for him to return. He was unwilling to leave without ensuring her safety.
"Why are you back again?" In the CEO's office, Su Qingyue frowned, looking at Ye Chen with exasperation. She had thought this guy would leave after being severely beaten by Jiang Che last time, but here he was, shamelessly returning.
"My duty is to protect your safety, President Su. Naturally, I will come back," Ye Chen replied.
"I don't need your protection!" Su Qingyue said coldly.
"That won't work. Mr. Su Batian asked me to come here. Even if you want me to leave, you have to agree with him." Ye Chen shook his head, invoking Su Batian's name without hesitation.
"Get out now!" Su Qingyue said sharply, her patience wearing thin. She still had many documents to deal with and didn't want to waste time arguing with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't respond further; he left Su Qingyue's office and stepped into the corridor outside. At that moment, he caught sight of a very familiar figure. His eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light flashing in them. His fists clenched involuntarily, and his teeth ground together as he saw Jiang Che walking over from the direction of the elevator, a bouquet of roses in hand.
Jiang Che noticed Ye Chen standing at the door and offered a mocking smile. "Hey, Ye Dabao, you've been discharged from the hospital? Seems like your injuries are healing well!"
"Humph!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, ignoring Jiang Che. He didn't want to further humiliate himself by letting Jiang Che provoke him. Now was not the time for a direct confrontation; otherwise, he would be the one to suffer.
"Work hard! I'll ask Qingyue to give you a raise. Everyone becomes a security guard at sixty, but you get to start at twenty. That saves you forty years of detours—not bad!" Jiang Che teased as he pushed the door open and walked into Su Qingyue's office.
"I'm a bodyguard, not a security guard!" Ye Chen's face darkened, his expression furious. He was no fool; he could easily detect the contempt in Jiang Che's words, which angered him even more. When had Ye Chen ever been looked down upon like this?
Ye Chen pressed his ear against the office door, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Unfortunately, the soundproof wooden door rendered him unable to hear anything, leaving him frustrated. He retreated against the wall of the corridor, staring up at the ceiling in a daze.
