Chapter 9 - 9: The Dream of This Night
Ye Fan was resting in the villa, while Chu ngyao left to attend to her busy schedule.
In the small building outside the villa, Chu ngyao boldly took action against Zhao Xianghua and Wang Zijian.
"Uncle Wang, we have already obtained the evidence that Zhang Daya held against you. If you don't want to go to jail, transfer your shares under my na. It's ti for you to retire." Chu ngyao went straight to the point.
In fact, Wang Zijian's misconduct was soliciting young girls, which gave Zhang Daya the opportunity to blackmail him. Chu ngyao didn't really care whether Wang Zijian engaged in these beastly acts voluntarily or was frad by Zhang Daya; it didn't matter anymore.
The key issue now was that Chu ngyao wanted to completely expel Wang Zijian from the company and consolidate power in her own hands.
"President, I have been a veteran of the company. I promise to reform. Please give
one more chance." Wang Zijian pleaded.
"I have already given you a choice, and I do not intend to repeat myself." Chu ngyao asserted irresistibly.
"Fine, I'll do as you say." Wang Zijian conceded, knowing he was completely finished.
The Chu Group was founded by Chu ngyao's grandfather. However, during its developnt, it absorbed new blood, which led to a portion of the shares landing in the hands of people like Wang Zijian. Chu ngyao was determined to gather these shares, and this was an excellent opportunity she wouldn't miss.
At that mont, Chu ngyao's phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhang Daya calling, she answered without the slightest hesitation.
At that ti, Chu ngyao was in an exceptionally good mood. Zhang Daya voluntarily relinquished his shares, which surprised her. A brief consideration revealed that this might have been Ye Fan's doing.
"Uncle Zhao, it's great news that your son is safe. Zhang Daya has already voluntarily given up his shares, and now it's up to you what to choose." Chu ngyao directed her attention towards Zhao Xianghua.
Initially, it was impossible for Chu ngyao to make Zhao Xianghua yield. However, with Zhang Daya's defeat, it was an evident signal. If she could seize the shares from Zhao Xianghua in one fell swoop, no one in her company could stir up trouble anymore.
A shadow fell over Zhao Xianghua's face; he had no other choice. Turning to Zhang Daya had already wronged Chu ngyao in the past, and now, with Ye Fan—a mysterious man—by her side, even Zhang Daya and the Poisonous Spider were left without a fight. How could he dare say no?
"I will transfer the shares under the president's na as soon as possible," Zhao Xianghua said weakly, no longer hoping for much as long as his son was safe. That was more important than anything else.
Zhao Xianghua and Wang Zijian left, their heads hung low, no longer showing the haughty deanors of business moguls.
"Congratulations, Miss. Mr. Ye is like a divine gift to you." Xu Fu said, grinning ear to ear. He still felt as if he were dreaming. Just as Chu Group was about to collapse and change ownership, Ye Fan appeared from nowhere, resolving all the challenges in such a short ti and removing all the instability factors within Chu Group. Such prowess was truly astonishing.
Chu ngyao beca busy again, making calls one after another. The company's relevant responsible personnel worked overti throughout the night, and the transfer of shares was quickly completed.
"Miss, even though the current crisis is resolved, caution is still necessary. The retaliation from the Poisonous Spider should not be underestimated," Xu Fu expressed his ongoing concerns.
"I know," Chu ngyao fully understood the impending threat.
By the ti it reached one in the morning, Chu ngyao finally entered the villa.
At that mont, Ye Fan was sitting absentmindedly on the sofa, lost in his thoughts.
"Why aren't you resting yet?" Chu ngyao asked with concern.
During this period, she had been under constant ntal stress and felt utterly helpless. Ye Fan's presence dispelled the gloom in her heart, significantly lifting her spirits, and her gratitude towards Ye Fan was imasurable.
"I will rest soon. You should go to bed early; don't worry about ," Ye Fan replied kindly.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to buy so clothes. Good night." Chu ngyao headed towards her room on the second floor of the villa.
"Hmm."
Ye Fan agreed, without resistance. Since setting foot in Huaxia Country, he had abandoned everything he had before. He wanted to start anew and forget his previous identity.
The place where he t Chu ngyao, according to his vague mories, was his ho. However, ti had changed so much. After going abroad with his parents at the age of seven, they were brutally murdered, and he was taken to a cold training base. He hadn't returned ho for seventeen years, and by now, his forr ho was unrecognizable, with no hint of familiarity left.
He vaguely rembered that his father had a younger brother, though he couldn't recall the na. However, he did rember that his uncle had a daughter, his cousin, and he still recalled fragnts of his childhood.
In the outside world and even on the international stage, he had a title that struck fear into people's hearts: the Terminator.
But who could understand the coldness deep in his soul?
He had endured within the organization for seventeen years just to get one chance to avenge his parents and eliminate all those who murdered his parents and destroyed his ho. He achieved his goal, but at a painful cost.
He still vividly rembered the scene of his parents taking him to play by the seaside. Back then, he was only in elentary school, but the sudden threat of death shattered his happy family, leaving him bereft of everything.
Recalling the heart-wrenching monts, hot tears rolled down the corners of Ye Fan's eyes.
That night, Ye Fan sat on the sofa, sleepless, contemplating his path forward. He indeed had no place to go, and Chu ngyao's villa provided him a comforting refuge. Moreover, beneath Chu ngyao's seemingly cold expression lay a caring concern for him, which gave him a sense of warmth.
He despised killing, so he spared A San and his six accomplices, rely incapacitating them.
He did not want to see ruthless slaughter unfold before his eyes, so when he sensed that Chu ngyao was ambushed by a sniper, he stepped forward.
That night, Chu ngyao slept very well, in sweet contentnt, freed from her ntal burdens, finally enjoying a restful sleep.
At seven in the morning, Chu ngyao awoke. The first instant she opened her eyes, the only picture in her mind was Ye Fan.
"Am I dreaming?"
Chu ngyao shook her head, wearing her nightdress and bare feet, quickly getting out of bed. She rushed to the first floor of the villa, pushed open Ye Fan's door, and found nobody on the bed. She approached and touched it, finding it cold, with no trace of anyone having slept there.
She feared she was dreaming yesterday. Her first thought upon waking was to ensure it wasn't a dream.
But the results seed to confirm she was dreaming.
Her actions were silly, but she didn't know it.
"If it's a dream, don't let
wake up—wouldn't that be wonderful?" Chu ngyao murmured softly, leaving the room disappointed, scanning the hall, and still finding no one. Her last strand of hope shattered, leaving her deeply disheartened.
"So it really was a dream." The reality of the dream's vividness struck her, leaving her flabbergasted.
