The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Yue Yao didn't fire to kill Chen Wen!

Of course, she didn't shoot Lan Tianci either. Although she loathed both of them, this was a public place, and committing murder outright would be a troublesome affair. Even if she wanted to teach a lesson or kill, it had to look like an accidental death following Li Yan's usual approach.

So she shot at the glass between the two instead of directly aiming at them. The bullet shattered the floor-to-ceiling glass immediately, sending countless shards and fragments toward the two standing in front of the window!

Chen Wen and Lan Tianci were looking down below, not expecting danger from above. Completely unprepared, they were showered with glass shards once the glass shattered! Although they instinctively closed their eyes in time, their faces couldn't escape the bombardment of shards; the eyelids could only offer a layer of protection, not completely shield them.

In an instant, both of them started screaming madly!

Wen Qiang had returned to his seat with a cup of tea. Although he was also sprinkled with sudden glass debris, he was at a slight distance and not facing it directly, so he wasn't hurt. In shock, he immediately dove to one side to ensure his safety before looking back at the two screaming figures. All the guests on the tea house's second floor shrieked in panic, and everyone stared.

Chen Wen and Lan Tianci raised their hands, wildly waving them in the air. The excruciating pain on their faces made them instinctively want to touch and alleviate it, but when their hands reached up, reason kicked in — how could this possibly alleviate anything? Moreover, their hands were also cut by glass.

Pain often doesn't hit when first struck, because nerves take a while to transmit the message, and the brain takes a moment to signal the sensation of pain, so after the glass shards shot at them, they were in even more agony, driving them insane. After madness, their uninjured feet started stamping about to slightly ease the anguish, and Chen Wen, who was close to the edge, blindly stumbled forward during his distress, and fell from the shattered glass window!

Lan Tianci fared no better, yet he staggered back a couple of steps without immediately falling down. Seeing Chen Wen fall from the building, and seemingly sensing no other danger, Wen Qiang, disregarding the glass on the floor, rushed up and grabbed Lan Tianci, yelling for help.

...

The large shattering of floor-to-ceiling glass and someone's subsequent fall was more shocking than a hundred people besieging below. Especially since the falling glass also injured many onlookers and scratched cars below, diverting everyone's attention.

Though a hundred people besieged them, not all could get close to the vehicles, and only a limited direction was available. After Li Yan sounded the horn and dashed through, the remaining people dared not block him and scattered in all directions.

Yue Yao, having achieved success with one shot, had already put away her gun. Seeing Chen Wen fall from the second floor put her at ease; whether or not Chen Wen would die, the lesson was enough. Even though bullet traces remained, they wouldn't point to anyone, and with over a hundred hooligans gathered tonight, Chen Wen's identity and such would direct the police toward viewing it as vengeance.

Seeing the road ahead clear, Li Yan picked up speed again and swiftly left the scene.

After driving a stretch, Li Yan slowed down a bit and gave a thumbs-up to Yue Yao in the back. Her observations, timing, and actions had demonstrated her capability just now. However, when he glimpsed through the rearview mirror, he saw Yue Yao lifting her skirt, hiding the gun inside her thigh holster. The angle offered a glimpse of her smooth legs but left much to imagination, making him avert his eyes politely.

Though Yue Yao lowered her head to stow the gun, she saw his thumbs-up and an eye on her, feeling both pleased and shy, which slowed her actions.

Since her pace slowed, Li Yan didn't dare to keep staring. Ensuring Zhang Yurong was still unconscious, he seized the moment to relay the latest news to Yue Yao: "I just got word — apart from us and the assassins present, someone killed five assassins last night and today, one of them ours. It looks like they're pinning it on me to create trouble…"

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, Yue Yao was startled and took it seriously, "I'll go back and investigate immediately!"

Fewer words were needed with Yue Yao, as understanding flowed easily between them. Li Yan saw she had packed away the gun and straightened her skirt, then gestured towards Zhang Yurong.

Yue Yao went over to support Zhang Yurong, shaking her gently and whispering, "Sister Rong, Sister Rong… Are you okay?"

After pinching Zhang Yurong's philtrum, she slowly regained consciousness.

The momentarily unconscious Zhang Yurong recalled hitting her forehead, and after touching it, felt no intense pain. Seeing Yue Yao, she quickly asked, "I'm okay, but where are we now… where's Li Yan?"

"I'm here, we've broken through." Li Yan looked back at her, asking with concern, "Wife, are you alright?"

While he knew Zhang Yurong was okay since Yue Yao would surely exercise caution, the care in his voice was genuine. Like how he wouldn't use "Heart Demon" on his people unless forced, even minor issues mattered in the end.

Seeing his expression warmed Zhang Yurong's heart. She initially wanted to ask if they hit anyone, but seeing his concern, she smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, focus on driving!"

Once Li Yan focused back on driving, Zhang Yurong also prepared herself, rubbed her forehead, and looked outside to realize they'd already left the place.

Knowing what she worried about, Li Yan assured her: "Don't worry, we didn't hit anyone. Those people wanted to extort us; if we stopped, they'd really cling to the hood or lie on the ground, leaving you stuck. I seemed fierce charging through, but actually, the speed was slow enough for most of them to dodge in time — the worst was a minor bump.

"Really?" The situation had been chaotic, and Zhang Yurong was anxious, without observing the details.

"Why would I lie?"

After she asked a few more questions, she inquired if Yue Yao was okay. Rarely did dining out end like this, leaving her feeling regretful.

...

The Clover Organization claims to be from the East Continent, but in Li Yan's view, they're likely Borola people. The East Continent comprises seven small countries, with Borola being the largest.

The Clover Organization isn't a terror group; from their last plan, they're a diversified business agency. Such organizations rely on connections and possess considerable financial power, unlikely to exist in poor countries.

Returning home, Li Yan noticed a missed call from Guan Ziyi. When he called back, it was indeed regarding Zheng Yuzun's matter. Guan Ziyi took it very seriously, promising to use every connection to swiftly provide Li Yan with more intel about the Clover Organization.

Yue Yao also quickly contacted everyone, learning through feedback that indeed a member of 'their' organization had been killed. The rest had been ordered to leave Cloud Island by the day's end. 'Their' organization's King had resurfaced, reportedly killing ten assassins from rival groups in Cloud Island overnight. This rumor circulated within their circles, indicating everything was well-prepared and guided.

Li Yan and Yue Yao didn't hold meetings, but communicated through online chat in their respective rooms.

After hearing Yue Yao's report, Li Yan shared Guan Ziyi's words, telling her to prepare for incoming information and stay in touch with 526 1941. Sensing Li Yan's intent to target the Clover Organization swiftly, Yue Yao didn't dare slack off. Besides, Li Yan also instructed her to notify Liu Xi on Cloud Island to disappear for a while.

Last night's success might excite borderline Fist Level Liu Xi enough to become careless. The ability to kill five assassins from different organizations overnight suggests someone with high-level skills, besides informants and assistance — definitely no less than 'their' Fist Level. In a direct confrontation, Liu Xi might not be a match, and with the enemy in the dark, it's even riskier!

After finishing their conversation, Li Yan remembered something and found a business card he hadn't thrown away. (Please vote for Monthly Pass) (To be continued, for more details, please visit www.qidian.com. Support the author and legitimate reading!)
