You must return quickly; we will be waiting for you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Suzhen spoke, tears were about to fall from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen could see her reluctance to part, but there was no other way. He had to return to his world and couldn’t stay here for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he wasn’t really Xu Xian, and Bai Suzhen was seeking Xu Xian to repay a kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no bond of kindness between Ye Chen and her, nor would there be any subsequent developments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, don’t be like this. The gentleman is just going home to say a word; it’s not like he’s not coming back.\" Xiaoqing quickly comforted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiaoqing was right; once Ye Chen left, he wouldn’t return, and knowing when they would meet again was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was reluctant to leave the beauty, there was no choice. The delivery was complete, and his task was also accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ye Chen’s departing figure, Bai Suzhen felt immense reluctance; she foolishly waited there for Ye Chen to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding farewell to the two sisters, Ye Chen found an empty alley, then opened a wormhole and walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, an old man chopping wood passed by, seeing the scene hurriedly knelt down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept shouting, \"Immortal, Immortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the old man mistakenly thought Ye Chen was a god and kept kneeling and kowtowing until Ye Chen disappeared into the wormhole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen returned to the real world and drove away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway, his phone kept ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at it and saw it was Song Xiaoxiao calling again, though he couldn’t blame her; mainly because several times, Ye Chen had hung up before she finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl felt something was off with Ye Chen, convinced he had encountered something, feeling both anxious and angry inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxiao, what’s up?\" Ye Chen answered the call, smiling as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, what on earth is going on? Why do you keep hanging up on me?\" Song Xiaoxiao said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxiao, it’s like this, do you remember the female clerk at the claw machine shop who spoke up for us that day? She...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a warning arose in Song Xiaoxiao’s heart, and the girl’s image flashed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no denying that girl was indeed quite beautiful, the kind of beauty one can’t forget after just one glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, how could you possibly fall for someone else?\" At this moment, Song Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red with tears ready to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought, what’s going on, and he hadn’t finished speaking yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxiao, calm down first, can you listen to me finish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen already heard the sobs from the other end and quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, let’s see what you have to say.\" Song Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, her tone a bit cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s what happened, yesterday she was kidnapped because of me. I’ve rescued her, but her face is disfigured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply explained the situation to Song Xiaoxiao, without mentioning Zhao Ziwei escaping from the hospital and him bringing her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls can be a bit narrow-minded, and Ye Chen feared that the more he said, the more it would make Song Xiaoxiao speculate wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That girl named Zhao Ziwei is really pitiful, Ye Chen, you have to take good care of her.\" Song Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn’t want her boyfriend to take care of another girl, Zhao Ziwei was disfigured because of Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she didn’t say anything, Ye Chen would frequently go to the hospital; she might as well appear magnanimous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry.\" Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Xiaoxiao speak like this made Ye Chen very happy, at least the two people wouldn’t have a conflict over him visiting Zhao Ziwei at the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was still one thing troubling Ye Chen, which was the promise he made to Zhao Ziwei’s mother, saying he would take care of the girl for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Chen said that, he truly meant it, but how would he explain this to Song Xiaoxiao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Song Xiaoxiao suddenly said, \"Alright, Ye Chen, I won’t talk to you anymore. Since last night, I’ve been worrying about you, overthinking, and didn’t sleep well. Now I need a good nap, I still have a class with the professor this afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Song Xiaoxiao knew the reason for Ye Chen hanging up, the weight in her heart was lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still had her studies to complete, so she couldn’t devote most of her energy to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaoxiao wasn’t a clingy girl; she thought as long as Ye Chen was there when she needed him, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the time, they both had their own space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, silly girl, you have a good rest.\" Ye Chen finished the call and hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove forward and saw a cake shop by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought, \"Girls probably all love sweets, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of buying a cake, then delivering it to Song Xiaoxiao’s school, and inviting her to dinner tonight as an apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he felt guilty for making the girl worry about him for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parking the car on the side, Ye Chen was just about to walk into the store when suddenly a group of burly men with sticks in their hands and tattoos appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their arrival frightened passersby, who turned pale and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen, with his keen senses, knew these people were targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the approaching burly men warily. They outnumbered him, and clearly, he was at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in such a public place, Ye Chen couldn’t use any special moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In modern times, with large crowds, you never know who might upload a video of the fight online, which would lead to trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing so many people, doing nothing wasn’t an option either; Ye Chen couldn’t afford to lose his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word flashed through Ye Chen’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s speed was unrivaled; he hastened his pace and ran into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of burly men followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he reached a deserted area, Ye Chen could deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could easily outpace them, but Ye Chen’s approach was to eliminate the threat entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about half an hour of running, he still hadn’t shaken the tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a dead end ahead, Ye Chen knew there was no one around, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly men, seeing Ye Chen cornered, also smiled, thinking, \"Today, this kid is doomed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-06-03T08:13:09.113Z","2026-06-03T08:13:14.205Z",1,"novelbin.me","470f2d770f238b82e5835d5cbc54f6af0fb3396e89c4c4bb8afac99fb9d3676c","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1138","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1136",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
