His body stopped, and he looked at Ye Qingrou with joy.
Ye Qingrou took out a bank card, "Here is one million, it's what you lent me back then..."
"I'll return it to you with interest, and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"
Xiao Ye's expression froze as he heard Ye Qingrou's cold voice.
She told Xiao Ye word for word that Ye Qingrou had never let go of her hatred for him.
Anyway, Ye Qingrou thought she wouldn't live long.
Ye Qingrou stared coldly at Xiao Ye, "If you push me too hard, I will make you pay even in hell!"
Xiao Ye smiled.
For some reason, Xiao Ye looked so lonely at this moment.
His figure moved further and further away from Ye Qingrou, his face forlorn under the streetlights.
"Xiao Qingrou, I've done everything I needed to do. I won't interfere in your life anymore."
"I wish you happiness."
Under the night sky overpass, Ye Qingrou heard Xiao Ye's indifferent words.
She showed a hint of confusion, but Ye Qingrou didn't take Xiao Ye to heart at all.
Ye Qingrou was still looking at passersby, wanting to see if her benefactor had arrived.
Xiao Ye retreated into the vast crowd, disappearing into the night.
...
The scene shifted.
Everyone knew that Xiao Ye was almost invincible in business.
However, Ye Qingrou was Xiao Ye's weakness.
Xiao Ye's company grew larger and larger.
Every year, he donated tens of millions to orphanages.
Xiao Ye's charity gradually became known.
However, those who disliked Xiao Ye wanted him gone.
Company.
"I remember Mr. Xiao canceled his cake order, why did you deliver it again?"
The secretary scratched his head in confusion and brought the cake into the office.
The man was working diligently, a pen twirling between his fingers as he formulated a plan.
A shareholder was reporting, "Longteng Company is becoming a greater threat to us. We've suppressed several of their gray industries, and our funds are almost depleted. Longteng has also issued a challenge to us."
Xiao Ye made a decisive remark, "If they dare to bark again, we'll crush them completely."
The secretary saw Xiao Ye in conversation and carefully brought the cake over.
"Boss, this is the cake you ordered."
Xiao Ye frowned.
Because Ye Qingrou was going abroad, he had canceled cake orders for the next fifty years.
Xiao Ye looked at the cake and asked the secretary to open it.
When they were in the orphanage, he had promised Ye Qingrou that she could eat cake every year…
And he had never broken that promise.
The secretary saw a small card in the cake, picked it up, and his face changed drastically, "Boss, quickly look at this note!!"
The note was from their competitor, Longteng.
Their threat stated that Ye Qingrou was in their hands.
If Xiao Ye didn't come to save Ye Qingrou, they would kill her.
Xiao Ye's expression instantly changed, and he rushed out of the company.
Led by his secretary and others, Xiao Ye went to the kidnapping location.
"Xiao Qingrou."
Entering the abandoned stairwell, Xiao Ye saw the ambush by his competitors.
They had captured a disheveled woman and threatened Xiao Ye, "This is the woman you love most. If you don't want her to die, Xiao Ye, come here. You cannot bring anyone with you."
"Boss, it's dangerous, you can't go."
The secretary and others held onto Xiao Ye tightly, but they couldn't stop his determination to rescue Ye Qingrou.
Xiao Ye walked deeper, his voice chilling, "Release Xiao Qingrou, or I will send you all to prison!"
"It seems Boss Xiao is truly devoted. But no matter how famous he is in business, he can't overcome a beauty!"
The CEO of Longteng laughed heartily, looking at Xiao Ye.
He said, "You've fallen into our trap today, do you still have a life to go back?"
"After all, you are young, how can you play with us old foxes?"
Xiao Ye's expression was blank, and he looked coldly at his competitors.
"Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Now release Xiao Qingrou…"
Xiao Ye risked his life, unwilling to joke with Ye Qingrou's life.
However, these people suddenly mentioned the disheveled woman.
The woman let out a cry of pain, and her face became clear to Xiao Ye.
It was his friend Lulu's face, not Ye Qingrou's!
Lulu despaired, "Mr. Xiao, please save me! Qingrou left on her flight today, they didn't catch her..."
They hadn't caught Ye Qingrou, but they had caught Lulu.
Seeing it wasn't Ye Qingrou, Xiao Ye was relieved.
The CEO of Longteng drew his gun and aimed it at Xiao Ye, sneering, "Xiao Ye, you almost ruined me. I am more ruthless than you in business. You dare to provoke me, Longteng, and today I will send you to your death!"
With a gun pointed at his head, Xiao Ye remained calm.
He said calmly, "If you shoot me, your children and your relatives will suffer. Before coming here, they asked me to bring you a message."
The secretary, terrified, quickly took out his phone and played a video.
It was the CEO of Longteng's wife and child, who were also in Xiao Ye's custody.
"Daddy, Mom and I are guests at Uncle's house. When are you coming?"
The cute and innocent child looked at the camera with anticipation.
The CEO of Longteng's face changed drastically, his lips trembling, and his eyes gradually lost their light.
"Good for you, Xiao Ye, to pull this trick."
Xiao Ye glanced at the CEO of Longteng, knowing he also had a weakness now.
"Can you put your gun away now?"
Xiao Ye gave him a perfect smile.
The CEO of Longteng surrendered and threw the gun on the ground.
The people around them also released Lulu...
Lulu cried, trembling, "Mr. Xiao!"
Xiao Ye looked at Lulu indifferently, "Let's go."
The secretary and others quickly called the police, intending to arrest the CEO of Longteng and his men.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
Bang!
Blood bloomed on Xiao Ye's chest, and he let out a muffled groan.
Lulu was terrified, seeing Xiao Ye about to fall.
"Mr. Xiao, are you alright?"
Xiao Ye saw a man on the abandoned stairs holding a gun menacingly.
He had just shot Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye recognized the man as Wan Mingsen!
It was the adopted son of the wealthy man who had gifted the woman to Xiao Ye back then, and whom Xiao Ye had then given away.
This adopted son, working for the CEO of Longteng, couldn't suppress his jealousy towards Xiao Ye and personally shot him!
Xiao Ye clutched his wounded chest, seeing everyone in a panic.
"Hurry and send Mr. Xiao to the hospital."
"Wait… I want to make a call."
Xiao Ye, with his last breath, fumbled for his pocket.
In his pocket was an expired candy he had kept for over ten years.
Xiao Ye dialed Ye Qingrou's number, pretending to be a benefactor.
However, the call was not connected.
Drip.
Drip.
Life was becoming increasingly fragile at this moment.
His secretary and others watched anxiously.
Pick up quickly.
