Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Invitation
Clearly playing hard to get, Zhao Yanran’s “seduction” trick might work on other n, but for Ye Shikai, better forget about it…
“How about this, so other day when I have ti, I’ll call you myself.” Ye Shikai didn’t outright refuse, but instead evaded a bit. If Zhao Yanran really had sothing going on, he’d perhaps give it a listen. Maybe there’s so “unexpected gain” after all.
Back ho, Su Ziqing was sitting on the sofa playing on her phone, looking like a typical gar.
“Naughty girl, not studying at school and playing with your phone at ho.” Ye Shikai feigned anger, wanting to scare his little sister-in-law a bit, but surprisingly, she didn’t care at all.
“It’s the weekend and there are no classes. Besides, my sister didn’t say anything.” Su Ziqing munched on potato chips, both hands tirelessly tapping on the phone screen.
“Not listening, are you?” Ye Shikai took out his phone, brought up Su Ziqing’s number, and dialed directly.
Ring ring ring.
“Ah, the page popped up.” Su Ziqing exclaid, quickly hung up the call, and returned to her ga.
“Damn, died.” Su Ziqing tossed the phone aside and kicked Ye Shikai hard, “What are you doing, you rotten brother-in-law.”
“Nothing, just ssing with you.” Ye Shikai replied in a playful tone, sitting on the sofa and eating fruit by himself.
“Hmph, you’re so idle but won’t let others relax a bit.” Su Ziqing pouted and complained.
“True, I’m quite free.” Ye Shikai lay on the sofa, having no work and with Boss Xing out of touch, he was indeed bored.
“By the way, next week our school is hosting a camping trip. We can bring a family mber along. Brother-in-law, are you interested?” Su Ziqing suddenly exclaid excitedly.
“Camping trip, wouldn’t it be one of those activities where we camp in the wild and build bonfires?”
“Yes, sothing like that. You can bring ingredients and do so barbecue.” Su Ziqing laughed, and when she talked about food, her ladylike image imdiately collapsed…
“I used to participate in such activities.” Ye Shikai muttered, recalling how, in the Dragon Teeth special forces, the troops would occasionally have to “bond with nature” with just a dagger, two biscuits, and three bottles of water, surviving on their own.
“Really? What did you grill?”
“Venomous snakes, porcupines, or so bugs…”
“Ew, that’s disgusting, stop it.” Su Ziqing showed a look of disgust and fear, staring at Ye Shikai as if looking at a wild man. This little girl who grew up with a silver spoon would never understand the danger of surviving in the wild. But since it’s a school-organized event, there naturally won’t be any danger, at most letting people experience the feeling of camping.
“So, brother-in-law, Yaoyao and I will both be going.”
“Alright, I’ll tell your sister.” Ye Shikai nodded. Going camping was indeed a good way to kill ti, but unfortunately, Qingyu Company had matters to attend to, so she couldn’t go.
…………………………………
“Boss, why do you want Zhao Yanran’s files?” Ye Shikai was driving, with Worm tapping away on his computer in the passenger seat.
“Of course, to check out the background of this woman. Ghost and the National Security Bureau couldn’t find anything, so I ca to you.” Ye Shikai said casually. The car was on the highway, and they were heading to the Netherworld Palace base. The situation arose suddenly, Worm was idling in Yanjing on a holiday when Ye Shikai picked him up directly by car. As a network hacker, even though Zhao Yanran tried to hide her identity, she would leave so traces on the internet.
“She’s quite a beauty indeed.” Worm was “intently” staring at the computer screen, drooling nearly dripped down. Ye Shikai glanced at the screen instinctively and shrank back, damn, how did Worm get these photos of Zhao Yanran, so revealing…
“I think this woman…”
Bang.
Suddenly, the car ca to an abrupt stop. Worm, not wearing a seat belt, hit his head directly on the computer due to inertia.
“Damn, that hurts, boss, why did you brake suddenly?” Worm complained, rubbing his head.
“Cut the crap, look ahead.” Ye Shikai pointed in front, having just exited the highway to see a flashy sports car parked by the roadside, and dozens of black-suited bodyguards stood there, blocking the car as it approached.
“Screw this.” Worm closed the laptop and leaned out the car window, shouting loudly, “Good dogs don’t block the way!”
“How’s that, boss, feels good, huh?” Worm laughed proudly.
“Good my foot, you stay in the car.” Ye Shikai opened the door and walked over slowly. It was evident that these bodyguards were cultivators, with sharp eyes and a strong aura. Worm was not a cultivator and didn’t have combat abilities, so it was best not to join the fray.
Upon approaching and taking a closer look, Ye Shikai seed to recognize who was blocking his way.
“Mr. Ye, we’ve finally been waiting for you.” Out of the sports car ca an absolutely stunning woman that Ye Shikai certainly recognized as Chen Ruoya, Tianya Group’s PR manager, and Chen Yuxin’s confidante.
“In such cold weather, having your people wait for in the chilly wind really touched .” Ye Shikai mocked.
“Mr. Ye is joking. We’re here waiting for you on the orders of the Family Head and rudely interrupting. We ask for Mr. Ye’s forgiveness.” Chen Ruoya, hearing Ye Shikai’s words, didn’t get angry. Of course, she didn’t dare to be angry either.
“Just tell what you need directly. It’s quite cold here, and standing in the cold wind isn’t exactly pleasant.” Ye Shikai lit a cigarette, speaking lightly.
“The Family Head wants to et with Mr. Ye and sent specifically to escort you.” Chen Ruoya said calmly, but with dozens of black-suited bodyguards around, it gave an oppressive feeling, as if they wouldn’t allow Ye Shikai to refuse.
“What if I’m not available now?” Ye Shikai, puffing on his cigarette, responded nonchalantly.
“This… we would ask for Mr. Ye’s cooperation, it won’t take too long.” Chen Ruoya continued, seemingly leaving no room for Ye Shikai to refuse.
“Fine, I agree. Let’s go now.” Ye Shikai nodded. It had been a long ti since he t Chen Yuxin. Now, she was also a shareholder of the Tianya Group, and they would undoubtedly et again in the future.
Alas, to be honest, he really didn’t feel like visiting the Chen family right now, facing that most familiar stranger…
“Worm, drive back to the base yourself. I have so things to do.” Ye Shikai instructed. Although Worm had no martial force, he was highly alert. The woman opposite was accompanied by dozens of black-suited bodyguards, and with Ye Shikai’s hesitant, almost untold-air of reluctance, was there perhaps so hidden truth?
