Chapter 220: Misunderstandings Deepen

~7 min read 1,314 words

"I even intended to let you be responsible for overseas operations, but your character is problematic, so I have decided to recommend to President Song and the Board of Directors that you be removed from your executive position and remain in the company under probation."

"Don't, President Chen, it was truly a misunderstanding, please, you must not remove me from my position." Zhang Yu was deathly pale with fright; he looked at Chen Yu in terror and nearly fainted on the spot.

He had gone through untold hardships to climb to this position, and he knew well how intense the competition in the company was; once removed, the people behind him would immediately tear him apart, and he would have no hope of ever getting ahead again.

"That's enough, stop acting pitiful in front of me, get lost." Chen Yu waved his hand.

"President Chen, please spare me, President Chen." Zhang Yu fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed to Chen Yu several times.

"President Chen, the paperwork is done. Here are your documents. By the way, is the villa for your father?" At this moment, the salesperson returned after finishing the paperwork.

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded.

"Then later, you will need to provide his ID information; I need to go to the Housing Authority to process some procedures," the salesperson said.

"Fine, no problem," Chen Yu said. "Then if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

"Very well, Mr. Chen. This unit is fully equipped and move-in ready. President Bai has also given instructions; later, the property management will have all daily necessities prepared. You can just have your father come over directly," the salesperson smiled and said.

Qin Ying, standing to the side, looked shocked. She never imagined that Chen Yu's identity was actually the boss of her lover; this time, she was truly finished.

Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Zhang Yu crawled on the ground, wailing: "President Chen, please spare me, President Chen... I will never dare to do it again."

But amidst his wailing, Chen Yu gradually walked away.

"Qin Ying, it's all your fault, you ruined me, you ruined me." After Chen Yu left, Zhang Yu knelt on the ground, screaming and crying in pain.

"Don't blame me, blame your own bad luck..." Qin Ying glanced at Zhang Yu coldly and turned to leave. Since this man had no more utility value now, why shouldn't she leave early?

Poor Zhang Yu lay on the ground, crying and repenting, slamming his head against the floor, but it was too late now; everything was beyond saving.

After buying the house, Chen Yu thought it over and decided he should talk to Ye Xinyu; after all, they couldn't keep things so tense, so he went to the company.

It was currently work hours, and Chen Yu caught a glimpse of a courier holding a box, walking toward the company reception.

Chen Yu's heart stirred. The courier was walking extremely fast, yet with steady, measured steps; just from his gait, one could tell he was no ordinary courier.

"Wait a moment." Chen Yu walked quickly, caught up to the courier, and caught a glimpse of the square box in the courier's hand, which had Ye Xinyu's full name written on it.

"What is it?" The courier looked up. He was wearing a mask and a wide-brimmed hat that covered half his face. Although his expression couldn't be seen clearly, Chen Yu distinctly felt the ruthlessness radiating from the eyes beneath the hat.

"I know the owner of this box; I'll deliver it," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Sorry, we need to deliver it to the customer personally, otherwise we will be complained about." The courier shook his head.

"I'm afraid that's not up to you." Chen Yu sneered.

The courier suddenly looked up, a trace of murderous intent appearing in his eyes. He took a few quick steps forward, and a Dagger suddenly flipped out from the hand beneath the box.

Chen Yu snatched the Dagger and grabbed the box. Just at this moment, a figure flashed past from behind and struck the courier's neck heavily.

The courier's eyes went black, and he fell backward. The newcomer quickly supported him, propping him up on their shoulder so he wouldn't fall.

Zhan Hun supported him with one hand; the two of them now looked like good friends with their arms around each other's shoulders.

After all, this place was a busy area with many people coming and going; Zhan Hun did this to avoid causing panic and to prevent unnecessary trouble.

The newcomer was indeed Zhan Hun. He bowed and said: "Boss."

"What's going on?" Chen Yu asked.

"Datian's intelligence network indicates that Du Feng might be unfavorable to the Boss recently, so I came to protect the Madam," Zhan Hun said in a low voice. "I've been watching this kid for a long time and was planning to make a move, but the Boss beat me to it."

Chen Yu opened the box and saw a circuit board inside the exquisite box, with a countdown displayed on the LCD screen.

"A bomb?" Chen Yu's expression changed instantly: "Du Feng, you are courting death."

"Boss, this is a homemade micro-bomb. The other party seems to be an expert. Leave it to me; I will handle it," Zhan Hun said.

"Send more people to protect Xinyu well; don't let her find out. Also, my father is in the hospital, keep an eye on that too." Chen Yu handed the bomb to Zhan Hun.

"Yes." Zhan Hun took the bomb, then dragged the courier with one hand and turned to leave.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, his eyes becoming sharp. Du Feng was truly courting death.

The reason he hadn't killed Du Feng was because this guy's target was too large, and he had support behind him; killing him was easy, but it would cause a lot of trouble later.

But since this guy was acting so suicidal, he couldn't blame Chen Yu for playing dirty.

Just as he was about to go up, Ye Xinyu hurried down from upstairs. She saw the unopened courier box packaging in Chen Yu's hand, and her expression changed slightly.

"Where is the stuff inside?" Ye Xinyu snatched the packaging from Chen Yu's hand and asked urgently.

"Xinyu, listen to me, you cannot have the things inside..."

"I asked you, where is the stuff inside?" Ye Xinyu suddenly looked up and said sharply: "That is my client's data. Chen Yu, I already said not to interfere in my affairs anymore. Do you not understand?"

"This isn't client data; it's some dangerous stuff..." Chen Yu explained.

"Enough, Chen Yu. What dangerous stuff could there be now? You just want to interfere in my work. What do you take me for? Do I not have any privacy left? Can you give me some space, please?"

"I am doing this for your own good; I just want to protect you." Chen Yu was angry. Was his good intention being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs?

"I don't need it. Chen Yu, do you know? What I hate most is interfering in someone else's life in the name of love. How did you become like this? I naively thought you had really changed," Ye Xinyu said through gritted teeth.

"You..." Chen Yu was blocked and couldn't say a word. Ye Xinyu stared at Chen Yu for a long time, then turned and left.

Chen Yu took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions, because he knew that if he didn't calm down, the conflict between the two would become increasingly intense.

"President Chen, it's bad. Yu Fan was slashed a few times and is currently in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment." Suddenly, Zou Dalong's call came through.
