Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

After letting the assassin go, Ye Chen helped the frightened Jiang Ruoxi into the car.

This time, Ye Chen was driving, and Jiang Ruoxi was sitting in the passenger seat.

Jiang Ruoxi remained silent for a long time. She knew that if it weren't for Ye Chen, she would have been a corpse long ago.

Are these people really only after the Jiang family's business? Or do they have ulterior motives?

Jiang Ruoxi pondered for a long time but couldn't get the answer she wanted.

While driving, Ye Chen glanced at Jiang Ruoxi every now and then, knowing she was thinking about something, so he didn't disturb her.

"Tell me, why are so many people trying to kill me? Aside from my family and work, I haven't had much contact with other people or things. I've always been an honest businessman and a decent person..."

"Wife, don't overthink things. Keep things simple, and you'll have fewer worries. I practice martial arts and medicine every day on the mountain, and then I just fish and raid bird nests. I'm living a very comfortable life."

Ye Chen's thinking was simple: a life of complacency, where having enough to eat and drink was enough, and there was no need to fight for too much.

Jiang Ruoxi also lived that kind of life, but the pressure from her family was all on her shoulders, which meant she was destined not to live a life like an ordinary person.

"Oh well, forget it. I'm not as lucky as you. What's meant to be will be. Let nature take its course!"

Jiang Ruoxi sighed for a moment, then immediately resumed her original cold expression.

"Wife, it's alright. Master said you've encountered a life-or-death tribulation. Once you get through this tribulation, everything will be fine, so Master sent me here."

Ye Chen resumed his carefree, grinning demeanor.

"Oh, I see. Ye Chen, tell me honestly, did you bring those people here? Every time I'm unhappy, something happens... So, you're the prime suspect."

Jiang Ruoxi suddenly turned to look at Ye Chen and questioned him very seriously.

"Wife, I'm innocent! If I wanted to kill you, it would have been so easy. Why would I save you? Why go through all this trouble? Besides, I don't even want Li Chengwen, Zhou Tianhao, or Ma Wu..."

Ye Chen was caught off guard by Jiang Ruoxi's sudden attack. He didn't know if what she said was true or false, so he could only try his best to explain.

There was a period of time between the last attack and this assassination attempt, but that doesn't mean Ye Chen is guilty.

"Alright, Ye Chen was just teasing you. I know this has nothing to do with you. There were signs before you arrived, but they just didn't come to blows. Now they're getting more and more arrogant, so it seems we have to take countermeasures."

Jiang Ruoxi's face was expressionless, her calmness almost frightening.

Ye Chen glanced at them and muttered to himself: How come women are so terrifying when they get ruthless? Each one of them speaks more ruthlessly than the last.

"Honey, don't worry. With me here, no one will dare to bully you. Anyone who wants to bully you will have to get past this first, or I'll be dead."

"Ye Chen, I'm telling you, you can't die without my permission, nor can you leave at will..."

Jiang Ruoxi was clearly a little anxious when she heard Ye Chen say "die," because Ye Chen still held a certain place in her heart.

"Wife, are you worried about me? Looks like I've gained some status after all. Don't worry, my master said that no one in Jiangcheng can harm me yet."

"All you do is talk nonsense. When will you ever be serious?"

"If I were too serious, I wouldn't be Ye Chen anymore, and you might not like me then. People should live a more carefree life."

Ye Chen thought to himself, women all hope their men will become better, but once they do, they might start to dislike them again.

The assassination was a good thing, except Jiang Ruoxi was terrified. But it was good for Ye Chen, as he could take the opportunity to erase the negative impact of He Jianping's social media posts.

At the same time, Ye Chen also knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was not yet finished with his actions against Jiang Ruoxi.

They arrived at the villa quickly. Ye Chen parked the car, and Jiang Ruoxi went straight upstairs.

Ye Chen did not go straight back to his bedroom. Instead, he walked around the villa to check the defensive formations that had been set up earlier.

He didn't notice anything unusual. Those bastards were cunning; they knew that attacking the villa wouldn't bring any benefits, so they chose to strike elsewhere.

Ye Chen returned to his bedroom, lay down on the bed without taking off his clothes, and pondered how to lure the snake out of its hole and completely eliminate the potential danger.

Targeting Li Chengwen directly? That's clearly inappropriate; without evidence, it's difficult to make a move.

Ma Wu was a rough and uneducated man, just an underground thug in Jiangcheng, without much intelligence or ambition.

Zhou Tianhao, a spoiled brat, doesn't have that ability, but the Zhou family is another story.

Yes, we'll start with the Zhou family tomorrow and investigate their background first.

The Zhou family is definitely the biggest problem. The fact that Zhou Chengde dared to threaten Jiang Ruoxi to her face shows that the family has some confidence.

Ye Chen picked up his phone and dialed He Jianping's number: "Hello, Minister He, how much do you know about the Zhou family's situation? Could you tell me more details?"

Ye Chen knew that people like He Jianping liked to collect gossip, whether it was from the legitimate or criminal world.

"Well, Brother Ye, why are you asking about the Zhou family? I don't know much about them. The Zhou family is a first-class family in Jiangcheng, second only to the Jiang family. They have a very large business, involved in various industries. The current head of the family is Zhou Xinde, who is your Zhou Tianhao's uncle. He is very smart, decisive, and has a good business sense. Under his leadership, the Zhou family has improved a lot."

Ye Chen sensed something unusual about the Zhou family's rise to prominence and wanted to know more: "How did the Zhou family develop into such a family?"

"I heard that the Zhou family suddenly grew from a small family more than 20 years ago. Nobody knows exactly how they rose to prominence. That's all I know."

Seeing that Ye Chen was so interested in the Zhou family, He Jianping immediately asked Ye Chen why.

"Brother Ye, why are you asking about the Zhou family? The Jiang family is far more powerful than the Zhou family."

"No, it's just that I dealt with that arrogant Zhou Tianhao last time. That kid is no good. He's definitely not satisfied with what happened last time, and he might come back to retaliate at any time. I need to learn more about him and prepare a countermeasure."

"Brother Ye, you're so thoughtful! You always anticipate everything and never fight a battle you can't win. I admire you!"

He Jianping seemed to have forgotten about the incident on WeChat Moments, and his relationship with Ye Chen returned to normal.

"Minister He, thank you. Please let me know as soon as you have any news about the Zhou family!"

"No problem, bro!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen reviewed the information He Jianping had given about the Zhou family.

Ye Chen finally gave a cold laugh. So the Zhou family were nouveau riche; there must be a lot of shady dealings going on inside them.

More than twenty years ago, when Ye Chen was either just born or not yet born, how did the Zhou family suddenly rise to become a first-class family? What power did they rely on?

It seems that Ye Chen already has a plan and direction in mind.
