Chapter 24 - Isn't This a Kind of Fate

Ye Xuan was completely baffled as Yuan Mengmeng pulled him back to the Company.

“Mengmeng, what’s wrong?” Ye Xuan asked curiously, noticing something off about her mood.

Yuan Mengmeng’s pretty face turned slightly red, feeling awkward under Ye Xuan’s gaze.

She looked down, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and stammered, “Big Brother Ye, you fought their people, what if they take revenge?”

Ye Xuan chuckled inwardly, realizing this little girl was concerned about him.

He replied seriously, “You saw it yourself, I’m quite formidable.

If those bastards dare to bully my little Mengmeng again, I’ll lay them all out!”

As he said this, Ye Xuan’s dark eyes focused intently on Yuan Mengmeng.

Her face flushed even redder, and too embarrassed to look at Ye Xuan, she turned her head away and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not yours, I…

I have nothing to do with you.”

Ye Xuan found her shyness amusing and feigned a hurt expression, saying, “Mengmeng, I thought we were already friends.

I didn’t expect to be nothing to you.

Fine, it’s my own fault for getting the wrong idea, I’ll just leave.”

With that, Ye Xuan turned, looking dejected, as if he were about to walk away.

“Big Brother Ye, you’re misunderstanding, I didn’t mean it that way…”

Yuan Mengmeng let go of her bashfulness, quickly grabbing Ye Xuan, and said with self-reproach on her face, “It’s all my fault, I got you involved again, otherwise you wouldn’t have had trouble with those people.”

Ye Xuan replied with a smile, “Mengmeng, you can’t say that.

Haven’t you noticed that there’s a kind of fate between us?

From meeting you this morning, shooing away Director Feng for you, to helping you now, do you think this is all just a coincidence?”

At those words, Yuan Mengmeng became flustered, “Could this really be fate?

Even though he’s just an ordinary security guard, he’s upright, handsome, and skilled in martial arts…

Aiya!

Yuan Mengmeng, what are you thinking?”

She snorted softly to herself, sneaking a glance at Ye Xuan, relieved to see he hadn’t noticed her turmoil.

However, she couldn’t shake a certain feeling that had taken root in her heart.

After saying goodbye to Ye Xuan, Yuan Mengmeng couldn’t shake the image of this man from her head, which left her feeling both embarrassed and annoyed at herself.

But when she thought of the threats the thug had made before leaving, she couldn’t help worrying, “How could Big Brother Ye possibly stand up to them?

That’s right, I should ask Zheng Xiaobo for help.”

With that in mind, Yuan Mengmeng approached Zheng Xiaobo, who was on duty, and hesitantly said, “Zheng Xiaobo, could I ask for your help with something?”

Zheng Xiaobo, with his dark complexion and lean figure, was a young man in his early twenties and had been a security guard at Eastern Group for two years.

Seeing the famous beauty from the sales department, Yuan Mengmeng, approaching him, Zheng Xiaobo was pleasantly surprised, “Yuan Mengmeng, whatever you need, just say it.

I will definitely help you.”

“It’s like this…”

Yuan Mengmeng briefly explained the situation.

After listening to Yuan Mengmeng’s account, Zheng Xiaobo’s eyes widened in excitement, “Holy crap!

Is Ye Xuan that awesome?

I, Zheng Xiaobo, have to admire him.”

Ye Xuan had asked Zheng Xiaobo about work procedures before, and he did remember this new security guard.

Yuan Mengmeng expressed her concern, “They definitely won’t let this go.

Zheng Xiaobo, can you please ask your dad to help sort things out for Big Brother Ye?”

Zheng Xiaobo frowned, realizing the situation was indeed tricky.

“Zheng Xiaobo, is there a problem with this matter?”

Yuan Mengmeng saw the troubled look on Zheng Xiaobo’s face and felt even more worried.

If even he couldn’t handle it, then Ye Xuan was sure to suffer.

“Don’t worry, I’ll call and explain the situation.”

Zheng Xiaobo’s expression was grave as he promptly took out his phone and called his father.

After a conversation on the phone, his expression seemed to turn worse, as if things weren’t going smoothly.

“Okay, Dad, I understand,” Zheng Xiaobo said, taking a deep breath before reluctantly hanging up.

“How did it go?” Yuan Mengmeng asked urgently.

“My dad told me not to stir up trouble.

Ah, Ye Xuan has really caused a big problem this time, and even our Eastern Group will be affected!” Zheng Xiaobo said gravely.

What?

Hearing this, Yuan Mengmeng’s face paled, and she took a couple of steps back.

“We need to get Ye Xuan out of here, right now!” Zheng Xiaobo said.

“Big Brother Ye is downstairs!” Yuan Mengmeng spoke hurriedly, turning to run downstairs with Zheng Xiaobo following quickly behind.

After splitting up with Yuan Mengmeng, Ye Xuan continued his patrol.

Unexpectedly, mid-way through, Lin Tong called him to her office.

Pushing the door to the office open, he found Lin Tong with a furrowed brow, sitting behind her desk.

“Wife, you called for me?” Ye Xuan approached and asked.

Lin Tong lifted her head, sweeping a grave gaze over Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, did you offend a few thugs?”

“Wife, how did you know?” he asked.

“Just now, the board of directors called me, saying you beat up those guys at the alleyway near the Company.

What on earth happened?”

The board of directors?

How did they know about this?

Ye Xuan was puzzled, but spoke confidently, “Those small-time thugs were extorting protection money at the company’s entrance.

As a security guard for our Company, I had to intervene, so I gave them a lesson.

Wife, don’t worry about these mad dogs.

One of these days, I will talk to their boss myself and ensure they stop asking us for protection money!”

Hearing this, Lin Tong could only smile bitterly.

She had intended to scold Ye Xuan a few words, but what he did wasn’t wrong.

It’s just that you’re underestimating the Flying Car Gang, thinking they would stop collecting protection money just because you say so?

That’s simply impossible!
