Chapter 2 - 2 Do You Want ?
Inside the villa.
Chu ngyao and a decrepit sixty-year-old man, Xu Fu, sat on the sofa.
On the table in front of them, a sumptuous al emitted fragrant aromas, but the two's attention wasn't on the dining table; instead, they were staring unblinkingly at the door to a room.
Inside the room, Ye Fan was still unconscious.
Although they couldn't see Ye Fan's figure, the astonishnt in their eyes had not dissipated.
"With an unimaginable insight, he discovered the sniper hidden in the dark."
"At a terrifying speed, he rescued Chu ngyao from the path of the bullet."
"This level of skill and ability is absolutely not sothing an ordinary person could achieve."
"Who exactly is he? Why? He doesn't even have a penny on him, nor any docunts representing identity. What's even more baffling is that he seems to be starving himself, not knowing how many days he hasn't had a drop of water or a bite of food."
"What on earth happened to him?"
Xu Fu already understood the ins and outs of the incident, which is why he couldn't remain calm. He knew very well that even with his own skills, it would have been impossible at the ti to detect the danger, let alone rescue soone from a bullet.
Hence, the curiosity in his heart was very strong. Even with his experienced eyes, he couldn't see through Ye Fan. How could he not be surprised at such a mysterious man?
Chu ngyao's perspective was different from Xu Fu's. Whenever she thought of Ye Fan saving her life at that thrilling mont, her eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.
After a long silence, Chu ngyao broke the quiet and looked at Xu Fu, asking, "Uncle Xu, how is the company's situation?"
"Very bad. Zhang Daya has coerced the company's third and fourth largest shareholders. At the board eting in three days, he might force you to resign as CEO. If my guess is right, the assassin this ti was also hired by Zhang Daya. Your whereabouts were leaked because a bodyguard divulged it. That bodyguard is dead, and his wife and daughter are also missing, likely t with misfortune as well." Xu Fu slowly spoke.
Regarding the death of the bodyguard's family of three, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in Chu ngyao's eyes.
The Chu Group is a family enterprise, and it has reached the third generation in Chu ngyao's hands. Zhang Daya is the second largest shareholder of the company. To take over the Chu Group, Zhang Daya has resorted to such madness to hire an assassin.
Chu ngyao had long received news of Zhang Daya's actions, but with the enemy in the dark, effective retaliation was very difficult. Furthermore, she had not anticipated Zhang Daya would be so ruthless, wanting to kill her without caring about the consequences.
"The Chu Group was founded by Grandpa. Even if I am pulverized to pieces, I will not let the company fall into soone else's hands."
Chu ngyao muttered resolutely, but her gaze was full of helplessness. As of now, the company's situation had already slipped from her control. To turn the unfavorable situation around was beyond her capabilities.
In the end, she is a woman who could easily and freely handle various situations in the business field. But facing the invasion of dark forces, there was only so much she could do.
"Your family's intention is to prioritize safety. If necessary, hand the company over to Zhang Daya. This ti, the trouble might be unprecedented. We still have no clue what kind of people Zhang Daya has hired," Xu Fu said helplessly.
Chu ngyao's expression turned even dimr. Who wouldn't fear death? However, to hand the company over willingly was sothing she couldn't do.
At this mont, Ye Fan woke up, looking dazed as he walked out of the room.
Chu ngyao and Xu Fu noticed the movent and imdiately looked toward Ye Fan.
Ye Fan casually glanced at the two, his gaze lingering on Chu ngyao for an extra two seconds. Chu ngyao was the type of ice-cold beauty, beautiful enough to take one's breath away, but her cold aura was equally suffocating.
Xu Fu shivered inside. Ye Fan's casual glance seed to see right through him, which surprised him imnsely.
"Little brother, you're awake?" Xu Fu hurriedly got up with a kind smile.
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded.
"Gurgle!" Slling the aroma of the food, Ye Fan's stomach growled uncontrollably.
Fearing that Ye Fan might feel embarrassed, Xu Fu eagerly said, "We knew you were hungry, so we've prepared so food for you. I hope little brother won't mind."
Clearly, Xu Fu's considerate gesture fell short because he found no trace of embarrassnt on Ye Fan's face; it seed Ye Fan's cold deanor just wouldn't show such an expression of sheepishness.
Ye Fan sat down, his stomach growling continuously, yet he didn't rush to pick up the chopsticks.
"Where is this place?" he asked.
"This is the Miss's villa," Xu Fu replied.
"You saved ," Ye Fan's voice was low.
"It was the Miss who saved you," Xu Fu said, but he felt this was incorrect and added, "To be precise, you saved the Miss first."
"Oh." Ye Fan looked at Chu ngyao, softly saying, "Thank you."
Chu ngyao was stunned; why was he thanking her? Clearly, she should be the one thanking him.
"Little brother, may I ask you so questions?" Xu Fu said tentatively.
"What do you want to ask?" Ye Fan replied indifferently.
"What is your na?"
"Ye Fan."
"Where are you from?"
"Forgotten."
"Do you have any family?"
"I'm an orphan."
"Do you have a place to go?"
"No."
...
Xu Fu questioned and then voluntarily shut his mouth. From Ye Fan's words, he heard a sense of sorrow and hardship.
Chu ngyao turned sideways, curiously scrutinizing Ye Fan. She discovered that Ye Fan was soone with a profound story.
"I'm really sorry for bringing up Ye's sad past," Xu Fu said apologetically.
"It's okay," Ye Fan said indifferently. In fact, no matter how Xu Fu inquired or addressed him, he had little reaction.
"In that case, why don't you, Brother Ye, stay here for now? You already know, the Miss is in big trouble. There are evil people trying to take over the family business and have sent assassins. If possible, please stay by the Miss's side to protect her. We will do our utmost to et your needs, is that okay?" Xu Fu hoped with expectation.
There's no need to say how extraordinary Ye Fan is. If Ye Fan assists, Chu ngyao's safety wouldn't be a concern. With the Miss's safety in mind, Xu Fu had this thought.
Ye Fan's requirents were simple; as long as he had food, drink, and shelter, it would suffice. Moreover, not knowing where to go, staying might as well be an option. After learning about Chu ngyao's predicant from Xu Fu's words, he had already prepared to stay by her side.
He looked at Chu ngyao, seeking her opinion, "Do you want ?"
Chu ngyao's heart trembled. From Ye Fan's eyes, with a woman's sixth sense, she saw so emotions that brought her heartache. Strangely, for this newly acquainted stranger, a sense of pity arose in her heart. Perhaps this is what is often said about the maternal feelings naturally present in won.
"I want!" Chu ngyao said slowly.
"..."
Xu Fu was stunned. This short conversation between the two made the elderly man inevitably think strange thoughts. He couldn't understand what kind of emotions they had when they said these words.
"Actually, you two quite match each other," Xu Fu mumbled to himself. Looking at Chu ngyao and Ye Fan, he did find so similarities between them; at least, both were cold and neither smiled.
Since Ye Fan decided to help Chu ngyao, he wouldn't do nothing. His main reason for deciding to stay by her side was that she was a good person, and his heart could discern right from wrong.
"I need to see the two major shareholders who have sided with Zhang Daya. I will find a way to help you," Ye Fan said, looking at Chu ngyao.
Chu ngyao was taken aback, the helplessness in her eyes disappeared instantly. She didn't know where Ye Fan got such confidence, but she saw hope in Ye Fan's eyes, and a sense of security spread in her uneasy heart.
"Really?" Xu Fu exclaid in surprise and imdiately stood up, "I'll go make arrangents."
Xu Fu hurriedly left.
Ye Fan and Chu ngyao were left alone, making the atmosphere sowhat peculiar.
"The two major shareholders relying on Zhang Daya have dirt on them in Zhang Daya's hands. How will he help ?" Chu ngyao pondered curiously.
