Ye Xingchen looked at the woman with some sympathy. Perhaps, her very existence was a tragedy.
Over the years, her feelings for her father have never changed, but her husband is an extremely controlling man.
She finally felt free, but she probably never imagined that the man who kept saying he would give her freedom would cruelly kill her.
"Let's go," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "When something happens, we have to face it eventually."
"Where to?" Bai Yingyun asked, looking completely bewildered.
“Chen Zhengyi gave the order that if he doesn’t see your body, he will follow you until he kills you,” Ye Xingchen said. “I don’t have time to protect you all the time, so I’ll just settle things once and for all.”
Bai Yingyun remained silent for a long time, then slowly nodded. She stood up and walked back with Ye Xingchen.
Chen Jin waited in the car, but almost an hour had passed and there was still no message from the other side.
"Xiao Zhao, ask what's going on. Why haven't we heard anything after all this time?" Chen Jin vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He hired seasoned veterans who were experts at creating seemingly accidental events.
But since so much time has passed and the other party hasn't replied, something must have gone wrong.
"Yes, Brother Chen." Driver Xiao Zhao quickly took out his phone, intending to make a call and ask.
Just then, someone gently tapped on the glass.
"Who is it?" Chen Jin's heart skipped a beat; his years of experience as a bodyguard made him instantly sense that something was wrong.
He grabbed the gun with his backhand, rubbed it against his leg, released the safety, and reached out to point it out the window.
However, a fist came flying out of nowhere. With a crash, the car window shattered from the punch. Immediately afterwards, a hand reached in, grabbed him, and lifted him out of the window.
With a thud, Chen Jin fell to the ground, but he was still quite agile, and even though he was in pain from the fall, he held the gun tightly in his hand.
He rolled on the ground to dissipate the force, then raised his gun in a backhand motion to fire.
However, another hand reached out from the darkness, gripped the gun in reverse, and with a crash, the gun was disassembled into a single part in an instant.
Chen Jin was taken aback, but reacted quickly by reaching into his waist and pulling out a dagger. He was about to swing the dagger forward.
This time, however, the other party slapped him hard across the face, sending him flying several meters away.
Chen Jin fell to the ground with a thud, rolling around several times. He felt a burning pain on his face.
Just as he was about to continue resisting, a bright light shone on his face, blinding him. At the same time, Ye Xingchen's voice came: "I advise you not to struggle anymore, it's useless, really."
"Ye Xingchen, it's you..." Chen Jin was both shocked and furious. He never expected to encounter Ye Xingchen in such a desolate place.
Why is he everywhere? I run into him even when I'm on a mission. This guy is like a persistent ghost.
"Yes, that's right, you can recognize my voice." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "You must be a loyal person who can share your master's burdens."
Chen Jin gave up struggling. He knew Ye Xingchen's strength; in front of him, he was no different from an ant.
What was he struggling for? All the celestial experts had been forced into seclusion by Ye Xingchen, so he didn't harbor any illusions.
"What happened today has nothing to do with you, why are you meddling in other people's business?" Chen Jin said through gritted teeth.
"It's not really my business, but I need to get some things sorted out with her." Ye Xingchen looked up at Bai Yingyun who was walking over: "Look, Chen Zhengyi's dog. Ask her whatever you want."
Bai Yingyun slowly walked over and stopped in front of Chen Jin. Her previous doubts were completely dispelled. It seemed that Chen Zhengyi really wanted to kill her.
"Did Chen Zhengyi send you?" Bai Yingyun's expression was very calm. She wasn't surprised that someone like Chen Zhengyi would do something so outrageous.
"My personal actions have nothing to do with President Chen." Chen Jin gritted his teeth and took full responsibility for the matter.
As a trusted confidant, he was undoubtedly qualified, but unfortunately, no fool would believe that.
“I consider myself kind to everyone around me. Kill me? Do you have any reason to kill me?” Bai Yingyun laughed, a laugh tinged with sadness: “Even if Chen Zhengyi is cunning and narrow-minded, he always has loyal people around him.”
"Without President Chen, I, Chen Jin, wouldn't be where I am today. If he says one thing, I'll go through fire and water to accomplish it," Chen Jin said through gritted teeth.
“That’s right, without him, there would be no you.” Bai Yingyun smiled bitterly, “So it was his idea for you to come and kill me.”
"Chen Zhengyi, Chen Zhengyi, you are truly a hypocrite! You say one thing to people's faces and do another behind their backs. You got to where you are today by stepping over the corpses of countless people, didn't you?"
Bai Yingyun's last glimmer of hope was utterly shattered.
Yes, in the twenty years of their marriage, she never gave Chen Zhengyi a smile.
But she considered herself a good wife, and before various banquets, even if she felt uncomfortable, she would pretend to be a loving wife.
In other people's eyes, she and Chen Zhengyi had a very good relationship, and she maintained Chen Zhengyi's dignity as the head of the family from a broader perspective.
She bore him a son and a daughter. Even though the children were not ideal and had all the vices of a spoiled brat, they were still the children she had carried for ten months and given birth to for Chen Zhengyi.
He tried to control himself, drove himself crazy, and when she threatened to kill herself, he pretended to let go.
All he did was maintain his sanctimonious image; it's laughable, truly laughable.
"Bai Yingyun, either you kill me today, or I'll kill you to the death. I've never failed a task assigned to me by President Chen," Chen Jin said coldly.
This guy is blindly loyal; once he's made up his mind, he'll never change it.
In particular, if he fails to complete the tasks assigned to him by Chen Zhengyi, it would be a sign of his incompetence.
"Alright, we've come this far, I don't think there's any need to say anything more." Ye Xingchen said, "Go back and tell Chen Zhengyi that I'm protecting this person. If there are any problems, just tell him to come directly to me."
"Why are you everywhere, you surnamed Ye?" Chen Jin stared coldly at Ye Xingchen, a hint of resentment deep in his eyes. If it weren't for Ye Xingchen, his mission might have been completed by now.
"I am indeed quite happy to go against your Chen family," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile. "If Chen Zhengyi is still a man, then he should keep his word."
"I won't kill you today. I'll spare your dog's life and take you back to deliver a message to him."
"Either you kill me, or I'll follow this woman to the death," Chen Jin said coldly.
