The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Lin Chuyue's mind was in turmoil.

'What does Xiao Ye mean by that?'

'He won't let me down?'

'Is he still going to marry me?'

'But what about Lin Chuxing? If he's not going to marry her, then why is he doing all this?'

Xiao Ye gently kissed her lips. "I will never let you down."

"Chuyue, wait for me. You just need to know that I won't lie to you. From the moment we met until now, I haven't told you a single lie."

"All my promises to you are real, but you have to give me time."

Lin Chuyue said nothing, simply pushing him away.

Her mind was too jumbled right now; she needed to think things through.

Xiao Ye had made himself very clear. Now it was up to Lin Chuyue to decide whether she was willing to believe him.

He planned to stay in Jiangcheng for the next few days to comfort Lin Chuyue.

Otherwise, he would constantly worry that something might happen. Ever since she returned from the Imperial City, Lin Chuyue's mental state had been fragile.

He was just about to take her breakfast to the study and persuade her to eat when his phone suddenly rang.

He answered, and an urgent voice came from the other end.

"Patriarch, our men have located the Angel Association's branch at the coordinates you provided."

"But their forces and defenses here are extremely strong. We were accidentally exposed just now!"

His men hadn't expected them to have an alarm system set up from over fifteen kilometers away.

It was unbelievable! This wasn't some remote, deep-woods mountain range!

"Patriarch, I'm worried they'll evacuate with their assets. Should we move in first?"

"No, hold them off and wait for me!" Xiao Ye knew his subordinates' strength, but the Ouyang Family was with the Angel Association.

With the two families being of similar strength, the Ouyang Family had the Angel Association as an ally, making it more likely that the Xiao Family's men would be at a disadvantage!

After getting the address, Xiao Ye immediately threw on his clothes.

He rushed to the study, swept Lin Chuyue into his arms, and gave her a hard kiss.

"I have to go, it's urgent. You stay here in Jiangcheng. Don't go anywhere!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Lin Chuyue stared blankly after him. By the time she came to her senses, he was long gone.

"Xiao Ye... what am I supposed to do with you!"

Even though Xiao Ye had said those words today, Lin Chuyue was still unhappy.

Because no matter how this situation was resolved, someone was bound to get hurt.

Her... or Lin Chuxing!

'If Xiao Ye ends up with me, what about Lin Chuxing?'

'Judging by their time together in the Imperial City, Lin Chuxing is extremely hostile toward me. There's no telling what kind of scene she'll make.'

Besides, she truly did owe a debt for many things.

Lin Chuyue's hands fell limply to her sides. 'Forget it. For the family, for my parents, for my grandfather.'

'And for the sister who was sent away and went missing because I was born...'

'I... will withdraw!'

「Elsewhere.」

Xiao Ye had already reached the location at top speed.

It was in a municipality an hour's flight from Jiangcheng.

Although it wasn't as developed as the Imperial City or Shanghai, it was still a major municipality.

Xiao Ye quickly arrived at the rendezvous point.

The Xiao Family's men were currently here, conducting surveillance, with another contingent positioned outside.

The screen displayed a location a full thirty kilometers away.

The image was zoomed in so much that it wasn't very clear, but they could still see if anyone went in or out, even if they couldn't make out their faces.

The quality was like that of an old cell phone from years ago.

"Patriarch."

"What's the situation?"

"We believe we were exposed earlier, but strangely, we haven't seen anyone go in or out."

"This should be the only entrance. We're certain there are no other routes in the vicinity."

It was a straight road that ended at an abandoned prison.

Because it was a prison, it was surrounded by high walls.

Three sides of the wall were bordered by a river, and not a narrow one. It would be impossible to cross without a boat.

"It seems they've discovered you, but they aren't sure if you're enemies yet."

Although their current location was desolate, people did pass through occasionally, and there were villages nearby.

'In that case, there should still be time.'

Xiao Ye told them to keep watch, then got out of the car and headed to a nearby village.

He didn't enter it directly, instead going into the forested hills to the side.

Then, he took out the Cyan Dragon Order and pressed one of the dragon's eyes.

'Summon all Cyan Dragon Warriors!'

「Hundreds of miles away.」

Inside a mountain cave.

Suddenly, a sound echoed.

Several men who were training snapped their heads up, their eyes shining. "It's the summons!"

"That's right, it's the sound of the summons! I thought we'd never get a chance to leave until retirement, but I never expected... the summons to actually come!"

"Quick, get ready! Move out at top speed!"

All the Cyan Dragon Guards armed themselves fully with maximum speed, then boarded the aircraft on the back of the mountain.

「Two hours later.」

Xiao Ye, who had been sitting cross-legged and circulating his energy, opened his eyes.

He looked ahead and saw that several figures had appeared before him without a sound.

They were dressed in camouflage, completely concealing themselves.

Xiao Ye stood up and presented the Cyan Dragon Order. "I am the one who summoned you."

The twenty men exchanged glances, then dropped to one knee in unison. "We greet the Dragon Lord!"

Xiao Ye nodded in satisfaction. "I have summoned you this time because I have a mission for you to complete."

"Roughly thirty-five kilometers from here, there is an abandoned prison."

"It's not truly abandoned. It has become a stronghold for the Angel Association."

"I need you to infiltrate it, eliminate this stronghold, and retrieve all the information and data inside."

Xiao Ye paused. "However, I have one order: you must prioritize your own safety and the safety of your teammates!"

"If your lives are endangered, you must retreat, even if you haven't recovered a single piece of intel. Understand?"

'These men are true warriors!'

They were selected at a young age and have spent every day since training on Cyan Dragon Mountain.

All told, they hadn't had a mission in over a decade.

And for more than ten years, they had remained on the mountain, unable to even leave, let alone live the lives of ordinary people.

Some of them were already in their thirties but had never married or had children.

Even though they hadn't been on a mission or killed an enemy, it didn't diminish their sacrifice.

'To devote one's entire life to serving the country... they are true heroes!'

Xiao Ye would not allow men like these to die at the hands of the Angel Association!

The men were somewhat astonished, not expecting Xiao Ye to say such a thing.

But since it was an order, they had to obey. "Yes, sir!"

Xiao Ye nodded. "I have the original construction blueprints for the prison, but I'm not sure what the situation is like inside."

"So once you're inside, I'll be counting on you."
