Chen Yuqi's words were like a cold, merciless dagger, peeling away all his pretenses layer by layer, exposing his deepest fear of Qin Yang to the light of day.

"You're asking for death!" Ye Xun finally lost control completely, his reason consumed by anger and fear!

He let out a low growl like a wounded beast, and his aura exploded completely without reservation.

A powerful pressure, far exceeding what had just occurred and carrying a chilling killing intent, swept through the entire office like a tsunami.

The glass windows rattled under the strain, and the documents on the desk rustled loudly in the invisible airflow!

This time, all that remained in his eyes was a frenzied killing intent.

He wanted to kill this woman, to kill the woman who dared to humiliate him like this.

So what if she's Qin Yang's woman?

Kill her and leave Ninghai immediately. No matter how strong Qin Yang is, would he chase after the Ye family's main residence for a dead person?

However, just as he was about to take action regardless of the consequences...

Buzzing...

A slight but continuous vibration suddenly broke the tense and murderous silence.

The sound came from Chen Yuqi's personal cell phone on her desk.

The screen suddenly lit up, clearly displaying the caller's name.

Those two words seemed to possess a kind of magic that could freeze time and space, causing Ye Xun, who was about to pounce, to freeze in place instantly!

This also caused Chen Yuqi, who was preparing to face the impact, to slightly narrow her gaze.

Qin Yang.

The murderous intent on Ye Xun's face froze instantly, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

A look of utter horror spread uncontrollably across his face.

He seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Chen Yuqi slowly turned her head, glanced at the phone that was still vibrating on the table, and then glanced at Ye Xun, whose face was as pale as paper, as if he had been frozen in place.

Her movements were unhurried and graceful; she picked up her phone, swiped her finger across the screen, and answered the call.

Then, she put the phone to her ear, and a cold, playful smile slowly curved her lips.

However, his gaze remained fixed on Ye Xun.

"It seems..."

"Mr. Ye, it seems you've come at a really bad time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a calm yet chilling voice came from the phone receiver, a voice that could freeze one's soul.

The voice was not loud, and could even be described as calm, yet it seemed to contain a terrifying pressure as powerful as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Ye Xun?" Just those two words came through the receiver, echoing clearly in the silent office.

Ye Xun's body stiffened abruptly, as if he had been hit by a cold wind from the depths of hell. A bone-chilling cold instantly shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

Qin Yang, it really is Qin Yang!

He actually called at that moment!

The color drained from Ye Xun's face in an instant, leaving only a deathly pallor.

Fear, like an invisible giant hand, gripped his heart tightly, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, as if waiting for a response, or perhaps simply not caring.

Then, that cold voice rang out again, with an unquestionable commanding tone: "Get out of there."

Four words, simple, direct, and domineering, like a king issuing a final ultimatum to ants.

Ye Xun's throat bobbed, as if he wanted to say something, but he found that his throat was blocked by something and he could not make a sound.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead and temples, soaking his collar.

Ye Xun could clearly feel that the gaze from the other end of the phone seemed to have pierced through the barrier of space, coldly staring at him.

Chen Yuqi watched Ye Xun's reaction with great interest, the corners of her mouth curving into a deeper smile, tinged with a hint of mockery.

She didn't even remove the phone, maintaining the talking position so that Qin Yang's voice could be clearly heard by Ye Xun.

This also exposed Ye Xun's predicament and fear.

“Mr. Qin…” Ye Xun finally found his voice, but it was dry, hoarse, and filled with uncontrollable trembling.

He tried to force a smile, but the muscles in his face wouldn't obey him at all, contorting into an expression that was even uglier than crying.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..." His mind went blank, and he could only instinctively repeat his weak and feeble explanations.

However, the voice on the other end of the phone interrupted him; it was still that flat, almost cold tone.

"I'll count to three, one..."

The cold, hard numbers, like a countdown to death, struck Ye Xun's heart like a hammer.

Ye Xun's body trembled violently, as if he were being sieved.

Run! We must run immediately!

This thought was screaming wildly in his mind!

Qin Yang's terror far exceeded his imagination; he could exert such terrifying pressure simply by talking on the phone!

He had no doubt that if he hesitated for even a second longer, that demonic man would definitely do what he said he would do!

"two."

As soon as the second number was uttered, the temperature in the office seemed to plummet to freezing point, and Ye Xun's mental defenses completely collapsed at that moment!

Dignity? The glory of the Ye family?

In the face of an absolute threat of death, everything becomes worthless!

He turned around abruptly, wanting to rush towards the door without regard for anything else. However, the moment he turned around, extreme fear and humiliation erupted in his heart like a volcano!

Ye Xun, the dignified heir of the Ye family, was actually scared out of his wits by a single phone call from Qin Yang, and he even had to do it in front of Chen Yuqi!
