Chapter 213

Mr. Gao ascended straight to the twenty-seventh floor. Yang Chen had lost count of how many security guards he had left behind or kicked down. Some were even customers' bodyguards, all of whom were ruthlessly beaten by Yang Chen without any hesitation.

The twenty-seventh floor housed the executive suites. The corridor was deserted, but the chaos downstairs had already reached here, and many private bodyguards stood guard at the doors of the suites, maintaining strict vigilance.

Amidst the vigilant gaze of the bodyguards, Yang Chen quickly found the second-to-last suite named "Knight." Standing at the door were two burly, unfriendly-looking bodyguards.

This time, Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words. Without waiting for the two bodyguards to question him, he delivered a punch to each of them. The speed of his punches was beyond what the two guards could estimate, let alone resist. They immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching their stomachs in pain.

"Bang!"

Yang Chen kicked the exquisitely locked security door. The electronic lock triggered the alarm system, but the sharp sound seemed feeble and pale.

The situation inside the suite immediately caught his eye. Sitting beside the bright desk lamp by the window were two people. One was Lin Ruoxi, wearing a somewhat bewildered expression, and the other was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple suit.

The middle-aged man had neatly combed black hair pulled back, with faint signs of age spots on his face, indicating he was older than he appeared. Seeing Yang Chen barging in, the man remained seated, frowning.

At that moment, two burly bodyguards rushed out from another room, nervously blocking Yang Chen's path.

Lin Ruoxi finally recognized the man who burst in like a bandit as Yang Chen. Seeing Yang Chen's disheveled appearance from the fight and running, coupled with the fact that he was covered in sweat and even had some blood on him, standing at the door like a street thug or someone who had just been in a brawl, Lin Ruoxi couldn't suppress her anger any longer. She stood up abruptly and questioned, "Yang Chen! What are you doing?!"

"What kind of person are you?" the man in the purple suit asked in a deep voice, ignoring Yang Chen.

Ignoring him, Yang Chen carefully looked at Lin Ruoxi. Seeing that she was only a bit frightened but otherwise unharmed, he felt somewhat relieved.

Seeing Yang Chen smiling faintly at her, Lin Ruoxi couldn't hold back her frustration any longer. She stood up abruptly, her tone filled with annoyance, and demanded, "Yang Chen! What's the meaning of this?!"

"Miss Lin knows this man?" the man in the purple suit frowned and asked.

Lin Ruoxi, feeling a headache coming on, rubbed her forehead and turned around, apologizing slightly, "Mr. Gao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Miss Lin, this young man seems to care a lot about you. Is he..." Mr. Gao glanced at Lin Ruoxi, then at Yang Chen, who was still standing foolishly at the door.

Lin Ruoxi paused, glanced at Yang Chen, who was still standing at the door with a silly grin, and sighed softly, saying, "He's an employee of my company. I don't know why he suddenly went berserk like this."

"Employee? Gone crazy?" Yang Chen's smile turned somewhat bitter, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, it had been almost four hours since Lin Ruoxi arrived here. Seeing her safe and sound, Yang Chen felt relieved.

As for Lin Ruoxi's evaluation of him, he didn't care too much for the time being.

Mr. Gao looked somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow as he said, "Miss Lin, tonight I came to Central Sea at the last minute out of respect for the friendship with the former CEO, to inform you of the cooperation with the Faber Group of Varia. I disregarded the other major companies in Yan Du and came to you first. The behavior of this employee of yours saddens me deeply. I can't imagine why a large company like Yu Lei International would have such an employee."

"Mr. Gao, let me apologize on his behalf. He's not usually like this. I don't know why he's acting like this today," Lin Ruoxi's thoughts were in disarray. What was this man thinking?! How could he suddenly come back without a word?! Fine, if he wanted to come back, let him, but why did he barge in like this while she was in a business meeting? Did he cause all the alarms and chaos downstairs?! My god, what kind of person was he? Did he just storm the entire building by himself?! Did he come back just to kick the door open and stand there silently grinning in front of her?!

Just then, two policemen appeared at the door, shouting "Don't move!" and aiming their guns at Yang Chen from behind!

Lin Ruoxi widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief. Couldn't believe this guy had even attracted the attention of the police?!

A graceful female officer walked in through the door. Under her black short hair, her pretty face was filled with anger. It was late, and causing such a commotion on duty would irritate anyone.

"Let me see who the hell is causing such a ruckus," the policewoman said as she walked to the front. But when she saw Yang Chen, she froze on the spot.

"Director Cai, you're here pretty quickly," Yang Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Cai Yan with a smile.

Since that terrifying night in the building, Cai Yan hadn't seen Yang Chen again. But these days, she kept recalling scenes from that night for some reason. Especially Yang Chen pushing her away and rushing up to confront those thugs alone. It always made Cai Yan want to go to Yang Chen's house to check on him. This made Cai Yan feel tormented.

Now, seeing Yang Chen in such an awkward situation, she realized it was him! She was here to arrest him!

"Yan Yan," Lin Ruoxi saw that the person who came was Cai Yan, and felt a bit relieved. She walked up and said, "Can you find a way to let him go? He seems to have gone crazy today. For the sake of my face, can you let him off? I'll compensate for any damages and other expenses."

"Ruoxi, you're here too?" Cai Yan was somewhat surprised, but thinking that they were husband and wife, she felt a bit sour. Although she didn't know why Yang Chen did this, Cai Yan agreed with Lin Ruoxi's approach. She couldn't bring herself to arrest Yang Chen, who had always been cold and impartial, now suddenly felt unable to act.

However, Mr. Gao, who stood up from his seat, seemed determined not to let Yang Chen off the hook so easily. He straightened his distinctive purple suit and said, "Officer, my name is Gao, I'm from the Singapore Business Council. I am extremely dissatisfied with this man's sudden intrusion. His actions have seriously jeopardized my personal safety and he is suspected of stealing trade secrets. I hope you can arrest him according to the law. The law should uphold justice."

"This..." Cai Yan frowned. She hadn't expected such a prominent figure to be in the room.

Lin Ruoxi felt a bit anxious when she heard that Mr. Gao insisted on sending Yang Chen to trial. "Mr. Gao, he definitely didn't intend to harm you, nor would he steal trade secrets. Please trust me and let me handle this, okay?"

"Miss Lin, I hope you understand that tonight, when I landed at Central Sea Airport, it was not just to have a simple meal and chat. I sincerely hope that your company can become our partner and join hands with internationally renowned companies. I came here with sincerity, but received such treatment. I cannot cheapen my reputation!" Mr. Gao said indignantly.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

After Mr. Gao finished speaking, Yang Chen suddenly clapped his hands with a smirk. "Well said, we shouldn't cheapen our reputation."

"What? Mr. Intruder, do you think I'm wrong?" Mr. Gao frowned and asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Yang Chen, just shut up! Do you think things aren't chaotic enough?!" Lin Ruoxi was about to go crazy. Although this guy was despicable, she couldn't just watch him go to jail!

Whether it was endangering the safety of members of the Singapore Business Council, breaking into Central Sea's largest financial club at night, or attempting to steal trade secrets, any of these charges would be enough to land Yang Chen in trouble!

Yang Chen smiled knowingly and suddenly turned to Cai Yan. "Director Cai, can I trouble you to inspect this room?"

"Inspect the room?" Cai Yan's heart was filled with anxiety. Yang Chen's words left her puzzled.

"Yes, with your professional knowledge and skills, inspect the television, bedside lamp, and curtains," Yang Chen said.

As soon as he said this, Cai Yan seemed to understand something. She nodded solemnly, while Mr. Gao opposite her gradually paled.

Lin Ruoxi didn't know what Yang Chen was up to, but seeing Cai Yan's serious expression, she guessed that there might be something going on. She patiently stood there and watched Cai Yan go to inspect the bedroom.

"It's ridiculous that the police are actually listening to the criminal. It seems I have no reason to stay here. Let's go!" Mr. Gao seemed impatient, snorting angrily, and intending to leave with the two bodyguards.

"Stop them!"

Cai Yan suddenly commanded the two policemen in a stern voice to stand at the door, aiming their guns at Mr. Gao and his two companions.

"What are you doing?! Do you know who I am?! I'm Gao Guoxiong! The Secretary-General of the Singapore Business Council! Even the mayor would show me respect! How dare you stop me?!" Mr. Gao yelled angrily.

Cai Yan walked up to Mr. Gao with a cold smile. "Who you are doesn't matter, but as you said, the law should uphold justice, and what I have here is your justice!"

With that, Cai Yan opened her palm, and inside her fair palm were three miniature cameras used for covert recording!

"You're slandering me! Those things aren't mine!" Mr. Gao erupted, cursing loudly.

"Tsk tsk," Yang Chen shook his head and sighed, "Nobody was even talking about you, yet you're so worked up. It's a pity, this trick of yours, I learned it before I even grew a mustache."

The sudden change in the situation made Lin Ruoxi, who hadn't fully understood what was going on, suddenly wake up to reality. What exactly was going on here?

Lin Ruoxi's face turned as cold as ice. Just a moment ago, she had been begging Mr. Gao on Yang Chen's behalf, but the truly despicable one turned out to be the person she was begging to! She felt a strong sense of humiliation.

"Gao Guoxiong, I'll see you in court!"

Lin Ruoxi didn't want to stay for another moment. She turned around and quickly ran out of the room, even forgetting to take the bag she had brought with her from the table.

Yang Chen walked to the table and picked up Lin Ruoxi's bag. He then turned to Cai Yan, who looked unsure of what to do, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there might be some hallucinogens or something similar on his person or in the beverages in the room. The rest should be easy to handle. Director Cai, I'll leave it to you."

"Got it. You should go check on Ruoxi. She's always been strong-willed since she was a child. She must be feeling really upset after being deceived by that jerk. I'll have some of my team accompany you down so no one will stop you," Cai Yan said with a bitter smile.

Yang Chen nodded. With a police officer accompanying him, he quickly left the room. As for what would become of Gao Guoxiong, it was no longer his concern.
