Chapter 20

Qiru Xue has been living and growing up in the United States since she was a child. After completing her studies, she only agreed to return to the country after her father, Qichang Sheng, repeatedly persuaded her. As for her engagement to Ye Tianchen, it was never discussed with the two parties involved; it was entirely arranged by the elders of the Qi and Ye families. In the capital, where numerous powerful families stand, children's marriages are often based on contributions to the family.

So, before this, Qiru Xue and Ye Tianchen had never met. This time, the Qi family and the Ye family decided to break the engagement, and with Qiru Xue's return, they arranged for her to come directly to the Haiwang Group to sign the engagement termination agreement with Ye Tianchen. This way, both families would have nothing to say, and everyone would be at ease.

"Little sister, the decision to break the engagement is made by Dad. He has already arranged for you to meet Qin Heng from the Qin family. Sign this engagement termination agreement with the Ye family quickly to avoid any future纠缠 (entanglements) from the Ye family." Qi Yaguang knew his sister's temper; she had always been stubborn and spoiled by their father. If she really refused to sign and terminate the engagement with Ye Tianchen, how could he explain it to their father?

"I won't sign. I won't break the engagement, and I certainly won't meet any Qin Heng. If the Ye family wants to纠缠 (entangle), that's their business. I will make my own decisions." Qiru Xue said stubbornly.

"Let me make it clear, my Ye family also wants to break the engagement with your Qi family. Now, it's you who doesn't want to break the engagement. Do you want to marry me, Ye Tianchen? Sorry, I have no interest in an ugly duckling like you." Ye Tianchen shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, big bad guy, who are you calling an ugly duckling? I think you're the ugly one. I'm formally telling you, I'm not breaking the engagement because I don't want to meet Qin Heng from the Qin family. Also, I want my father to know that I will make my own decisions, and it has nothing to do with you." Qiru Xue puffed up her beautiful little face and glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely.

Ye Tianchen's attitude really made Qiru Xue angry. Her beauty had always attracted many high-ranking officials and wealthy heirs, but none of them had ever moved her. However, Ye Tianchen was the first to call her an ugly duckling. Any girl loves beauty, and hearing a man say such things would naturally make her uncomfortable, wanting to punch Ye Tianchen.

"I don't have time to play with you. If you want to sign, do it quickly. Give me the agreement and the pen." Ye Tianchen and Qiru Xue had no particular relationship, and during the apocalypse, the women Ye Tianchen had were all super beautiful. He was not the type to get excited just because he saw a pretty woman.

But just as Ye Tianchen reached out to grab the engagement termination agreement from the table, Qiru Xue grabbed it, wearing a mischievous smile, a bit angry, and a bit smug. She looked at Ye Tianchen and said, "Big bad guy, you dare to call me an ugly duckling. You want to break the engagement, right? I won't let you."

The engagement termination agreement was torn to pieces, leaving Ye Tianchen speechless. He didn't really care about breaking the engagement, thinking it was fine to break it. He had many beautiful women during the apocalypse, so why wouldn't he have beautiful women in this life? He thought the engagement was definitely going to be broken, but he didn't expect Qiru Xue's stubbornness to completely change the situation.

"Little sister, what are you doing...?"

Qi Yaguang was sweating profusely. He never expected that the decision to break the engagement between the Qi and Ye families, which was already set, would be overturned by his sister's stubbornness. The Qi family had gone to great lengths to break the engagement with the Ye family and form a strong alliance with the Qin family, even offering two compensations to the Ye family. If his sister refused to break the engagement, wouldn't the two compensations be in vain? This might not be a big deal, but if the Qi family couldn't form a strong alliance with the Qin family, it would disrupt the Qi family's major plans.

"I'll make my own decisions!"

Qiru Xue walked out of the large meeting room, her face still a bit angry. Qi Yaguang and Ye Tianchen were both stunned. No one expected Qiru Xue's temper to be so wild, especially the other four shareholders of the Haiwang Group, who were dumbfounded. They had planned to make Ye Tianchen leave the Haiwang Group voluntarily, but their plan was foiled by a few words. They wanted to see Ye Tianchen being humiliated by the Qi family's decision to break the engagement, but Qiru Xue's appearance changed everything, making it seem like she didn't want to break the engagement with Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen walked out of the Haiwang Group building, yawned, and was about to find a place to eat when he felt someone following him. Although his current awakened energy was weak, only at the Jun level, he could still clearly sense the situation within a hundred meters.

He suddenly turned around and saw two bodyguards in black suits behind him. They were pretending to talk but kept looking at him, as if afraid he would run away.

Who was following him? Who sent them? Ye Tianchen frowned. Being followed was not a good thing, and he needed to be cautious.

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to walk over and knock out the two men following him to ask some questions, his phone rang. He was not very used to modern phones; during the apocalypse, he only needed to wear a headset and call out names to communicate, which was a global service.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Ye Tianchen finally pressed the right button to answer the call.

"Are you Qianwen's brother? Qianwen, she... sniff, sniff!" A girl's crying voice came from the other end of the line.

"What? What happened to Qianwen? Don't panic, take your time, take your time." Ye Tianchen's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong. He was worried that something might have happened to his sister, but he tried to suppress his anxiety and asked calmly.

"Sniff, sniff... Qianwen, she... she was kidnapped. I'm at the school gate..."

"Okay, stay there. I'll come over right away."

Hearing that his sister, Ye Qianwen, had been kidnapped, Ye Tianchen became tense, and a surge of killing intent rose within him. He had always loved his sister dearly, and their relationship was very close. Protecting his sister was his duty, and in this reborn life, he would not allow anyone to harm his family, no matter who it was, even if it was the emperor.

When Ye Tianchen arrived at the gate of the Capital Middle School, he saw his sister's good friend, Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing was crying uncontrollably, clearly scared and frightened. A young girl had never seen anyone being kidnapped, especially her best friend.

"Xiaoqing, stop crying. Tell me what happened in detail, don't miss any details," Ye Tianchen comforted Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing sobbed and finally calmed down a bit, crying, "After school, Qianwen and I went out to have lunch. After lunch, we planned to go back to school to study. Qianwen was very happy, saying she wanted to study hard to get into the Capital University to make our parents and brother proud. But... but... just as we walked to the school gate, a van rushed over. Several men with knives came out and took Qianwen away... sniff, sniff!"

"Did the men who took Qianwen say anything?" Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.

"No!" Xiaoqing shook her head, crying.

Ye Tianchen was stunned, feeling the situation was tricky. He didn't know who had kidnapped his sister, and his current energy perception was only within a hundred meters. If he could restore his god-level energy perception, he might be able to find his sister, Ye Qianwen.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen's phone rang again. It was his sister, Ye Qianwen's, phone number. He was surprised and pressed the answer button.

"Ye Tianchen, you dare to hit me? You're tired of living. Your sister is in my hands. Whether I beat, kill, or rape her is all up to me."

"Chen Hao, I advise you not to touch my sister, or you will die." Ye Tianchen said sternly.

"Ha ha ha, you still dare to threaten me? I, Chen Hao, am not scared. If you want to save your sister, come to the abandoned factory in the western suburbs alone. Otherwise, you'll never see her again." Chen Hao laughed arrogantly.

"I want to talk to my sister."

"No problem, you're going to die anyway, so let you hear her."

Chen Hao handed the phone to Ye Qianwen, who was tied to a chair and couldn't move.

"Brother, brother, don't come, don't come... it's dangerous!" Ye Qianwen didn't think about her own safety; she just didn't want her brother, Ye Tianchen, to take the risk.

"Qianwen, don't be afraid. Everything will be fine. I'm here for you." Ye Tianchen said seriously.

"Brother, don't come, it's too dangerous... ah..."

"Qianwen... Qianwen..."

Hearing his sister's scream, a surge of killing intent rose within Ye Tianchen. This was the first time since his rebirth that he felt such anger and killing intent. He cherished this life, and anyone who dared to harm his family would not be spared.

"Ye Tianchen, I give you half an hour. If you don't get here, your sister will be my woman." Chen Hao snatched the phone and laughed coldly.

"If you touch a single hair of my sister, you will die."

Ye Tianchen hung up the phone, kicked a motorcyclist off his bike, and quickly rode to the abandoned factory in the western suburbs. The killing intent within him was already trembling.
