Chapter 20 - My Sister Has Been Kidnapped!

Her engagement to Ye Tianchen was arranged without their consent; the heads of the Qi family and the Ye family had settled it among themselves.

In Capital City, a place replete with influential families, children’s marriages were often decided based on contributions to the family.

Thus, Qi Ruxue and Ye Tianchen had never actually met before.

It was only because the Qi family and the Ye family wanted to break off the engagement and Ruxue had come back that she went straight to the Sea King Group after getting off the plane to sign a break-up agreement with Tianchen in person.

This way, both families would have nothing more to say, and everyone could be at ease.

“Sis, Dad decided to break off the engagement.

He’s already arranged for you to meet with Qin Heng from the Qin family.

Just sign this agreement to break off your engagement with the Ye family fast, so they won’t bother us later,” said Qi Yangguang.

He knew his sister’s stubborn temperament, spoiled by their father, and worried that if she refused to sign and break off the engagement with Ye Tianchen, explaining it to their father would be a headache.

“I won’t sign.

I won’t break off the engagement, nor will I meet any Qin Heng.

If the Ye family wants to cause trouble, that’s their problem.

I’ll make my own decisions about my life,” Qi Ruxue said obstinately.

“I believe you should be aware that my Ye family is very keen to break off the engagement with you.

So now it’s you who doesn’t want to end our engagement.

Do you want to marry me, Ye Tianchen, that much?

Sorry, but I’m not interested in an ‘ugly monster’ like you,” Ye Tianchen sighed, shaking his head in resignation.

“Hey, you big bully, who are you calling an ugly monster?

I think you’re the ugly monster!

I, Miss Qi, am telling you formally, not breaking off the engagement with you has nothing to do with Qin Heng from the Qin family.

I just want my dad to know that I can make my own decisions and it has nothing to do with you,” Qi Ruxue retorted fiercely, her lovely face contorted in anger and her beautiful eyes glaring at Ye Tianchen.

Tianchen’s attitude genuinely infuriated Ruxue.

Her beauty had drawn many suitors from noble and influential backgrounds, but despite the multitude of men pursuing her, none had ever captured her heart.

Ye Tianchen was the first to dare call her an ugly monster.

Every girl loves beauty, and hearing a man say such a thing is bound to be uncomfortable, making her want to pummel Ye Tianchen.

“I don’t have time to play with you.

Sign the document quickly.

Give me the agreement, give me the pen.” Ye Tianchen had no particular connection with Qi Ruxue, and considering that during the apocalypse he had been accompanied by extremely gorgeous women, he was certainly not the type to become foolish at the sight of a beautiful woman.

Just as Ye Tianchen reached to pick up the break-up agreement on the table to sign it, Qi Ruxue snatched it away with a smirk and a mix of annoyance and triumph, taunting, “You big bully, you dare call Miss Qi an ugly monster?

You want to break off the engagement, right?

Well, I just won’t let you, I simply won’t let you…”

The break-up agreement was torn to shreds, leaving Ye Tianchen speechless.

He had had no particular reaction to the break-up, thinking that if it was going to happen, then so be it.

If he, Tianchen, could have a bevy of beauties in the apocalypse, how could he not be accompanied by beauties in this life?

He had thought the break-up was settled, but Ruxue’s stubbornness had turned the situation upside down.

“Sis, what you’ve done…”

Qi Yangguang was breaking out in a cold sweat.

He had not anticipated that his sister’s stubbornness would nullify the settled break-off between the Qi family and the Ye family.

The Qi family had put in so much effort to align with the Qin family and to break off with the Ye family, even offering two compensations to the Ye family.

If Ruxue refused to break off the engagement, wouldn’t those compensations be in vain?

Perhaps the compensations were not the main concern, but failing to ally with the Qin family would disrupt the Qi family’s grand plans.

“Anyway, I’ll make my own decisions on this matter!”

After speaking her piece, Ruxue stormed out of the conference room, leaving Qi Yangguang and Ye Tianchen in shock.

No one expected Ruxue’s temperament to be quite so defiant.

The other four shareholders of the Sea King Group were left utterly dumbfounded, their plot to force Tianchen to leave the Sea King Group dissolved by her words.

They had wanted to see Tianchen humiliated by the Qi family’s break-up, but Ruxue’s appearance changed everything, and now it seemed that it was she who didn’t want to break off the engagement with him.

Ye Tianchen left the Sea King Group Building, yawning and preparing to find somewhere to eat, when suddenly he sensed someone following him.

Though the awakening of superpower perception was weak, merely at Monarch Level, he could still sense his surroundings within a hundred meters.

Turning swiftly, Ye Tianchen saw two men in black suits, posing as if chatting but occasionally glancing in his direction as if afraid he would escape.

Who was following him?

And who had sent these people?

Ye Tianchen frowned; being followed was not a good sign, and he needed to be cautious.

Just as Tianchen was about to confront the two men tracking him and knock them down for interrogation, his phone rang.

He was still getting used to modern cellphones.

In the apocalypse, all he needed was an earpiece, and he could call anyone by saying their name—it was all global communication.

“Hello, who are you looking for?” Tianchen asked after finally pressing the right button for the call.

“Are you Qianwen’s brother?

Qian, Qianwen, she… she,” cried a girl’s voice on the other end of the line.

“What?

What happened to Qianwen?

Don’t panic, speak slowly,” Tianchen immediately felt his heart sink, a bad feeling washing over him.

He feared something might have happened to his sister.

Anxious, yet managing to suppress his emotions, he urged.

“Sob… Qian, Qianwen, she, she’s been kidnapped.

I’m at the school gate…”

“Alright, stay right there, I’m coming right now.”

Upon hearing that his younger sister, Ye Qianwen, had been kidnapped, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but feel a surge of tension and a rising killing intent.

Since childhood, he had been extremely affectionate towards his sister; their bond was strong, and it was only natural for a brother to protect his sister.

Having been reborn in this life, Ye Tianchen would absolutely not allow anyone to lay a finger on his family.

Even if it were the Heavenly King Laozi, he would kill them.

When Ye Tianchen rushed to the entrance of Kyoto Middle School, he saw his sister’s best friend, Xiao Qing, sobbing messily, also seeming scared and fearful.

A young girl like her had never witnessed a kidnapping scene, especially when her best friend was the victim.

“Xiao Qing, stop crying, and tell me exactly what happened.

Don’t leave out any detail,” Ye Tianchen comforted Xiao Qing and said.

Xiao Qing sniffled, and after some effort to calm down, she tearfully said, “After school, Qianwen and I went out of the school gate to have lunch.

After eating, we were about to go back to school to study.

Qianwen was very happy, saying she wanted to work hard to get into Kyoto University to make her parents and brother proud.

But who knew…

just as we reached the school gate, a van rushed up to us, and several men with knives jumped out, they took Qianwen away in the van…

wuu wuu!”

“The people who took Qianwen away, did they say anything?” Ye Tianchen asked with a frown.

“No!” Xiao Qing cried and shook her head.

Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment, feeling the situation was tricky.

He did not know who had taken his sister.

Besides, his Superpower Perception only extended within a hundred-meter range right now.

If he could recover to a Divine-level Superpower User’s realm, he would be able to expand his perception range and perhaps be able to find his sister, Ye Qianwen.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen’s phone rang.

To his surprise, it was a call from his sister, Ye Qianwen’s mobile number.

Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

“Ye Tianchen, you fucking dared to hit Laozi; you’re tired of living.

Your sister is in my hands, her fate—whether to be beaten, killed, or raped—is all up to Laozi.”

“Chen Hao, I advise you not to touch my sister, or you’ll lose your life,” Ye Tianchen said in a heavy voice.

“Hahaha, you fucking still dare to threaten Laozi?

I, Chen Hao, am not easily frightened.

If you want to save your sister, come to the abandoned factory in the West Suburb alone.

If you bring anyone else, you’ll never see your sister again,” Chen Hao laughed arrogantly and roared.

“I want to speak to my sister.”

“No problem.

Since you’re going to die anyway, I’ll let you listen.”

Chen Hao handed the phone to Ye Qianwen, who was now tied to a chair and could not move.

“Bro, Brother, don’t come…

it’s too dangerous!” Ye Qianwen wasn’t thinking about her own danger; she just didn’t want her brother, Ye Tianchen, to take the risk.

“Qianwen, don’t be afraid, everything will be alright.

Your brother is here,” Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

“Brother, please don’t come, it’s too dangerous, ah…”

“Qianwen…

Qianwen…”

Hearing his sister Ye Qianwen’s screams, a killing intent boiled within Ye Tianchen.

This was the first time since his rebirth to the city that fury had ignited within him, a fierce killing intent rising.

Cherishing everything in this new life, he was determined not to show mercy to anyone who dared disturb his family.

“Ye Tianchen, Laozi is giving you half an hour.

If you don’t make it, your sister will become Chen Hao’s woman,” Chen Hao snatched the phone back and sneered viciously.

“If you dare harm a single hair on my sister, you will surely die.”

Hanging up the call, Ye Tianchen kicked a motorcyclist off his bike, mounted the motorcycle, and sped towards the abandoned factory in the West Suburb, with the killing intent inside him trembling slightly.
