The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

In no time, a group of people lay on the ground.

Scared, Yuan Tianjiao stumbled backward. "You... who are you!"

"I know! You must have been sent by someone to harm my Yuan Family!"

Xiao Ye fought the urge to slap her. "I'll say this one last time: I'm looking for Yuan Tiancheng!"

"Contact him now and tell him to come down. If you do, I can spare you this once."

DING!

The elevator doors opened again.

This time, a man wearing glasses walked out.

He froze in his tracks at the scene outside. "Wh-what's going on here?"

An employee hurried over and quickly explained the situation. "Secretary-General, do you recognize this man?"

The Secretary-General looked at Xiao Ye and shook his head decisively. "I don't recognize him."

He was Yuan Tiancheng's personal secretary. It was no exaggeration to say that aside from a few business trips, he was almost always by Yuan Tiancheng's side.

However, he hadn't actually accompanied him on the previous few visits to see Xiao Ye.

Yuan Tiancheng also didn't dare mention Xiao Ye carelessly, so the Secretary-General had no idea such a person existed.

"The Secretary-General is with President Yuan all day long. If even he doesn't know him, then this guy definitely isn't an acquaintance!"

"I bet he's delusional. And look at how violent he is—he's probably a dangerous person!"

"We should stay far away from him, just in case we get hit!"

Just then, a timid voice piped up from the crowd, "Actually... President Yuan isn't here today!"

Yuan Tianjiao immediately whirled around. "Who dares to flap their gums? Did I say you could speak?"

The person who had spoken with good intentions was a cleaning lady who hadn't been working there for long. She couldn't stop herself from speaking up when she saw Yuan Tianjiao bullying someone.

'I don't understand how someone as good as Yuan Tiancheng ended up with such an unreasonable sister!'

'It was one thing for her to be the ruin of so many men, but she also mistreated any woman in the company who was more beautiful than her.'

'That Yuan Tianjiao was an absolute menace!'

Since the person he was looking for wasn't here, Xiao Ye couldn't be bothered to linger.

He turned and walked away, which made Yuan Tianjiao so angry she stomped her feet. "You just wait!"

"It's a piece of cake for the Yuan Family to investigate someone. When that time comes, I'll definitely catch you!"

"And then, even if you kneel and lick my boots, it'll be useless!"

Xiao Ye didn't even turn his head, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Tianjiao screamed in rage again. She glared furiously at the crowd. "What are you all staring at! Get back to work!"

"Now scram! If I find out anyone's been spreading rumors about this, I won't let them off easy!"

"President Yuan, rest assured, we don't know anything."

"That's right, I didn't see a thing."

Yuan Tianjiao couldn't be bothered with them. She went straight to the underground garage and sped away in a fury.

「The Yuan Family Estate.」

When Yuan Tianjiao walked in the door, one side of her face was still swollen.

The housemaid saw her and quickly lowered her head, not daring to set her off.

Yuan Tianjiao went straight to her room and smashed a pile of things. Still not satisfied, she marched upstairs to Yuan Tiancheng's room.

She kicked the door open and looked at the man sitting on the bed with a sneer. "I'm the one managing the Yuan Family Company now!"

Yuan Tiancheng watched her coldly. "What is it?"

"Nothing. I just came to see how you were doing. The fact that you still can't stand makes me very happy!"

Yuan Tianjiao pulled out her phone. "Oh, by the way, some lunatic came looking for you today!"

"He actually dared to hit me! When I get my hands on him, I'm going to break both his arms and legs!"

"You have to help me beat him up. He bullied your sister, so you have to get revenge for me!"

She knew Yuan Tiancheng hated that kind of behavior and said it deliberately to provoke him.

Sure enough, Yuan Tiancheng's expression darkened. "You are a member of the Yuan Family! How can you bully the weak as you please? That is not the way our family was raised!"

"I'll do as I please! I'm not just going to bully him, I'm going to keep him like a dog and parade him in front of you every single day!"

Yuan Tianjiao leaned in, a smug look on her face. "Don't forget, you're not the one in charge of the Yuan Family anymore. My second brother is!"

'Originally, the Yuan Family had been stable, and he had completely taken over.'

'But he never expected the second branch of the family to dare make a move—they actually poisoned him!'

'Since that day, his legs had been useless. Now, he could only lie in bed.'

'At first, he was still able to send his own men out, but they found nothing.'

'He knew then that there had to be a traitor among his people!'

Now, Yuan Tiancheng didn't even have a phone of his own.

Yuan Tiancheng remained silent as Yuan Tianjiao took out her phone and played a video.

The security department had pulled today's surveillance footage specifically to help her find the man.

"See? It's this guy!"

Yuan Tiancheng hadn't intended to look, but he cast a casual glance at the screen.

'Wait!'

'Is that... Xiao Ye?'

The man in the video bore a slight resemblance to Xiao Ye.

But Xiao Ye was something of a public figure now; exposing his identity would surely cause trouble, so he had put on a simple disguise.

Still, Yuan Tiancheng recognized him.

The moment he heard Xiao Ye's voice and saw the skill with which he took down the security guards, he was certain.

'It's Xiao Ye!'

After watching the video for a moment, Yuan Tianjiao seethed. "You bastard! Just wait till I find you, I'll make you my dog!"

Yuan Tiancheng almost burst out laughing.

'Who gave her the confidence to think she could make Master Xiao her dog? She must be dreaming!'

He cleared his throat. "Yuan Tianjiao, I don't know the man in the video, but it's obvious he's no ordinary person."

"Besides, he's handsome, skilled, and most importantly, younger than you. Why would he possibly be interested in you?"

Yuan Tiancheng continued his taunts, "Don't forget, you've already been married!"

"And you only got divorced because your husband's family found out how promiscuous you were!"

"Your reputation in Shanghai is already in the gutter!"

"Who would want someone like you? That young man looks like a straightforward person; he'd want nothing to do with you!"

"Shut up!" Yuan Tianjiao was livid. Of course, she knew what she was really like.

But hearing someone else say it was unacceptable!

"Yuan Tiancheng, do you think you're any better?"

Yuan Tianjiao jabbed a finger toward his nose. "You're nothing but a pathetic stray now!"

"And don't you forget, you've been poisoned! It's your legs that are paralyzed now, but soon it'll be your life they're after! Do you really think you're going to survive?"

'When he was the Patriarch,' Yuan Tiancheng reflected, 'he had never wronged any branch of the family.'

'Especially this sister. He was so concerned about her ruined reputation that he had even made arrangements to send her to another country.'

'She could have a fresh start. It was for her own good.'

'He never thought she would repay his kindness with such malice and turn on him like this!'

Yuan Tiancheng sneered, continuing to provoke her. "Even if I'm poisoned, I was still once the most outstanding person in the Yuan Family!"
