The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

The Xiao Family owned several sizable entertainment companies. 'Who knows what good resources they have?' Ye Baiwei thought. 'Maybe one day, they'll just toss some her way because of her connections.'

They walked to the underground parking garage, ready to drive to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Suddenly, the door of a black minivan parked beside them swung open. Someone grabbed Lin Chuyue and dragged her inside.

SLAM!

The door shut!

The van sped off.

Ye Baiwei rushed forward and banged desperately on the doors, but no one paid her any mind.

In the blink of an eye, the van vanished down the dark tunnel.

"Chuyue..."

Ye Baiwei frantically pulled out her phone, but her fingers suddenly froze.

'If something happened to Lin Chuyue right now… would that be my chance to take her place?'

Ye Baiwei's breathing grew heavy, her gaze turning cold.

'Chuyue, it's every man for himself… Don't blame me. It's not that I won't help you, I'll just be helping you a little… later!'

With that thought, she immediately got into her car and gave chase.

A full five minutes passed before she called the police.

The news quickly reached Xiao Ye's ears.

His first reaction was that someone in the Xiao Family was stepping out of line. "Go find her! I'm giving you half an hour. You must find her!"

Ye Baiwei used this opportunity to enter the Xiao Family estate.

Gazing at the ornate pavilions and grand halls, her heart swelled with even greater jealousy and desire.

"Xiao Ye!" She looked at him, her eyes filled with raw desire. "Something happened to Chuyue!"

"I know." Xiao Ye merely glanced at her before making one phone call after another.

He mobilized the full might of the Xiao Family. He had to find her!

No matter who it was, if they dared to lay a hand on Lin Chuyue, he would absolutely not let them off.

The black minivan stopped at the entrance of the Diplomatic Hotel.

Several bodyguards in black led Lin Chuyue through a service stairwell on the other side, completely unnoticed.

A door opened.

Lin Chuyue was shoved straight inside.

She fell onto the soft carpet, a sharp pain still radiating from her leg.

Ali, sitting on the sofa, watched her coldly. Even if she didn't understand Eastern beauty, she had to admit that Lin Chuyue was indeed very beautiful.

"You're Lin Chuyue?"

Lin Chuyue looked up and saw the foreigner sitting before her, completely baffled. "Who are you?"

"I am Ali, but people call me Princess Lili. I am from the Royal Family of Country A."

'A princess?'

Lin Chuyue was shocked. This was a truly important person!

"Then may I ask, Princess Lili, why did you want to see me?"

Ali scoffed. "Stay away from Ye from now on! You're not worthy of him!"

"Only I am fit to be with a man as outstanding as him."

"Understand? If you don't, I have other ways to make you understand!"

Lin Chuyue was stunned for a moment before finally realizing that this "Ye" referred to Xiao Ye.

'She thought it was bad enough that Xiao Ye attracted admirers within the country, but now he has them from abroad too? And a princess, no less!'

Seeing her silence, Ali shouted, "I'm talking to you!"

"Interpreter, tell her what I said! Useless thing. She can't even understand a foreign language. I have no idea why Ye likes a crude woman like you!"

The interpreter started to speak, but Lin Chuyue stopped them. "That won't be necessary. I understand perfectly."

"So, Princess Lili, you kidnapped me just to make me leave Xiao Ye, is that right?"

"That's right."

Ali lifted her chin, her attitude arrogant. "Whatever you want, I can compensate you."

"No need. I don't want anything."

Lin Chuyue stood up and glanced at the bruise on her leg.

"I only want Xiao Ye!"

"The two of us are truly in love."

Enraged, Ali raised her hand and slapped Lin Chuyue hard across the face.

"You're lying! You love him, but he could never love you!"

Lin Chuyue felt the fiery sting on her face, but she showed no fear, staring directly at Ali.

"I don't care if you're a princess or a queen. You have no right to interfere in our business."

"I bet you already went to Xiao Ye, but he rejected you, so you came for me, right?"

"And you were afraid Xiao Ye wouldn't let me see you, so you resorted to kidnapping!"

Ali felt humiliated. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that!

She moved to strike again, but this time, Lin Chuyue stopped her hand.

"If you hurt me, Xiao Ye won't let you get away with it!"

"Hmph! I'm a princess!"

Ali craned her neck, her face red with fury. "I'm a princess! Ye wouldn't dare do anything to me!"

"And you can't do anything to him, either!"

Lin Chuyue might have been afraid of others in the Imperial City, but she wasn't the least bit afraid of this Ali.

'She's a foreigner, trying to bully a Dragon Country citizen on Dragon Country's own soil. The audacity!'

'Perhaps she would have to swallow the humiliation from that slap, and no one would get justice for her.'

'But Ali shouldn't even think about threatening her!'

Ali was about to go mad with anger. "You bitch, who do you think you are, talking to me like that!"

She started grabbing whatever was nearby and smashing it. "You're not worthy of Ye!"

"You dare defy my orders?! I'll kill you!"

CRASH!

A wine bottle smashed over Lin Chuyue's head.

She immediately staggered, stumbling backward.

Blood trickled down through her dark hair.

Her vision spun.

Lin Chuyue collapsed to the floor and closed her eyes.

The interpreter rushed to stop Ali. "Your Royal Highness, please stop! If you keep going, something terrible will really happen!"

"Her head is injured. She needs to be taken to the hospital immediately!"

"No!"

Ali glared at the unconscious Lin Chuyue. "Let her die!"

"She's just a commoner. I don't believe Dragon Country will blame me if she dies!"

The moment the words left her mouth,

A loud BANG echoed.

The door was kicked open!

Xiao Ye's face was grim, but when he saw Lin Chuyue lying on the floor, a dangerous aura erupted from him!

He rushed forward to check on Lin Chuyue.

'Thankfully, it was just an external injury. She was only temporarily unconscious from the blow to the head.'

When Ali saw Xiao Ye, she panicked. "Ye, listen to me, it's not what it looks like!"

Xiao Ye said nothing, silently handing Lin Chuyue over to his subordinates outside. "Take her back to the old residence."

Two of the Death Warriors were women who had accompanied him. They easily lifted Lin Chuyue and replied respectfully, "Yes!"

In an instant, they had vanished down the corridor.

Xiao Ye turned to face Ali.

His gaze was ice-cold, devoid of any tenderness.

Ali felt even more aggrieved. "It's not like that woman died! She was just a little injured. Why are you looking at me like that?!"

"What does she have that I don't? I don't understand."

"Please, just tell me! If there's something I'm not doing right, I can change! I can become better!"

Xiao Ye didn't speak. Instead, he walked toward Ali, one step at a time.

Then he grabbed her by the neck and lifted her straight off the ground.

Ali's face instantly flushed crimson as she struggled relentlessly. "Ye… let me go!"

The interpreter and bodyguards immediately surrounded him.

"What are you doing?! Let go of Princess Ali, now!"

Xiao Ye looked at the interpreter. "Call your Royal Family. Now!"
