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

Around 11 p.m., Ye Chen changed into a black tracksuit and quietly left the Jiang family villa.

Jiang Ruoxi had already gone to sleep, and Ye Chen didn't want to disturb her.

There are some things that women are better off knowing less about.

Li Chengwen's villa is located in Cuihu Villa on the eastern outskirts of Jiangcheng, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, in a tranquil environment.

Ye Chen did not go through the main gate, but instead went around to the outside of the wall behind the villa.

Ye Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes, and like a falling leaf, he gracefully flew over the three-meter-high wall and landed steadily on the lawn in the yard without making a sound.

The villa was brightly lit, indicating that the owner was still awake.

Ye Chen moved quickly along the shadows at the base of the wall and soon arrived at the foot of the main building.

The second floor is a study, which is currently empty.

Ye Chen gently pushed open the window and climbed inside, landing silently.

There was a computer on the desk, the screen was still lit, and it showed an open folder.

The folder contained detailed information about the Jiang Group, including its organizational structure, business scope, partners, financial status, and even Jiang Ruoxi's daily schedule.

What caught Ye Chen's attention the most was a folder marked with key personnel of the Jiang Group. When he opened it, his photo was prominently displayed at the top, and his detailed information was also included.

Ye Chen, male, age unknown, Jiang Ruoxi's fiancé, currently the deputy director of the security department of Jiang's Group.

He is extremely skilled and is suspected to be a practitioner of ancient martial arts, with a strength at least above the level of internal energy.

He once defeated Zhao Jingang in one move and crippled Luo Ping's 40-year Eagle Claw Kung Fu in another.

Recommendation: Avoid direct confrontation; we should ask Master Qiao from the provincial capital to intervene.

Ye Chen thought to himself that these people had done their homework quite well, but unfortunately they underestimated him.

He continued to look through other files on the computer, becoming increasingly alarmed.

That old fox Li Chengwen wasn't just targeting the Jiang Group; he had also secretly collected internal information on several large companies in Jiangcheng, including the privacy and incriminating evidence against some of their executives.

This guy has big ambitions; he wants to swallow up the entire business world of Jiangcheng.

Ye Chen took out his phone, took a few pictures of the screen, and then continued searching in the study.

The desk drawers were locked, but this ordinary lock was useless to Ye Chen.

He took out a thin needle and gently fiddled with it in the keyhole twice, and the drawer opened with a click.

Inside were several contracts and a black notebook.

Ye Chen opened his notebook, which was filled with all sorts of transaction records. He remembered clearly who he gave money to, who had what leverage over him, and which company's executives had what unspeakable secrets.

Turning to the next few pages, Ye Chen saw his name, with a line of text below it:

"Ye Chen's origins are unknown, but he is suspected to be from an ancient martial arts sect deep in the mountains. If we can recruit him, our great cause can be accomplished; if not, we must eliminate him."

Ye Chen sneered and took a picture of the notebook as well.

Just as they were about to continue searching, they suddenly heard footsteps and voices downstairs.

Ye Chen quickly restored everything to its original state, then slipped behind the curtains and held his breath.

The study door was pushed open, and Li Chengwen walked in, followed by a tall, middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and walked with a powerful stride, clearly a skilled martial artist.

His temples bulged high, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp, inward light; every feature indicated that he was a master of internal martial arts.

"Brother Qiao, please have a seat." Li Chengwen pulled out a chair with utmost respect.

Brother Qiao? Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the invincible Master Qiao who was known as the one who had fought all over the provincial capital?

Master Qiao sat down on the sofa in the study, crossed his legs, took the cigar Li Chengwen offered, and slowly lit it: "Chengwen, you didn't handle this matter very well this time."

Li Chengwen stood to the side, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, completely unlike his usual arrogant and domineering self: "Third Brother is right. That Ye Chen is indeed not easy to deal with. I sent two groups of people, and they all failed."

Third Master Qiao exhaled a smoke ring, his voice unhurried yet carrying an invisible pressure: "Do you know what's being said outside? They're saying that the Qiao family only raises good-for-nothings."

Li Chengwen wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Third Brother, that kid is really strange. I suspect he's not at the Dark Force level at all, he might be... at the Transformation Force level."

"Transformation Realm? You can't find more than three Transformation Realm masters in the entire province. Aren't they all old guys over fifty? Even if a young man in his early twenties started practicing from the womb, he could never reach Transformation Realm."

"Then...how did he manage to break through Zhao Jingang's external martial arts with a single punch?"

"In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through all defenses...?" Third Master Qiao stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray and began to analyze Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, who was listening behind the curtains, almost burst out laughing.

This Master Qiao's analysis was very logical, but unfortunately, he was completely wrong.

"So what does Third Brother mean...?" Li Chengwen asked tentatively.

Third Master Qiao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and adopted a superior demeanor: "I had already sent people to investigate before I came to Jiangcheng. That kid does have some background, but it's nothing special. There are plenty of disciples from hidden sects, but very few of them are truly capable."

He turned around and patted Li Chengwen on the shoulder: "You continue to act according to plan. If you want to cause trouble, then cause trouble. Once I figure out his methods, I will naturally take care of him."

"What about the Jiang Group...1"

Third Master Qiao walked to the window, his voice becoming deep and ambitious: "What I want is the entire business world of Jiangcheng. That little brat Jiang Ruoxi is nothing but a stumbling block. As for that Ye Chen, we'll subdue him if we can, and eliminate him if we can't. It's no big deal."

Ye Chen, hiding behind the curtains, heard these words and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

This Third Master Qiao has quite the big mouth; he wants to swallow the entire Jiangcheng. Isn't he afraid of overdoing it?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. You said last time that Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi were engaged?"

Suddenly, Master Qiao turned around and asked.

"Yes, I checked, the two are indeed engaged."

A wicked smile appeared on Third Master Qiao's lips: "That makes things easier. A person with attachments has a weakness. Find an opportunity to kidnap Jiang Ruoxi. I want to see what kind of trouble that Ye Chen can cause."

Li Chengwen hesitated, "Third Brother, kidnapping Jiang Ruoxi is too risky, what if..."

"What if what?" Third Master Qiao coldly interrupted Li Chengwen.

Master Qiao reassured him once again with unwavering confidence, "With me here, what are you afraid of? A mere internal energy martial artist can't cause any trouble."

Li Chengwen dared not say anything more and could only nod repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

About half an hour later, Third Master Qiao got up to take his leave. Li Chengwen saw him all the way to the door, his attitude as respectful as a lapdog.

When Li Chengwen returned to the study, Ye Chen was no longer there.

He didn't leave immediately, but went to Li Chengwen's bedroom again.

In the hidden compartment of the bedside table, Ye Chen found a USB drive and a key.

He put the USB drive directly into his pocket, and the key, which looked like it belonged to a safe, whose purpose he didn't know yet, was also taken.

It was already 2 a.m. when I returned to the Jiang family villa. The whole building was quiet.

Ye Chen tiptoed upstairs. When he passed Jiang Ruoxi's room, he noticed that the door was ajar and a small nightlight was on inside.

He gently pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ruoxi curled up in the quilt, as if she had a bad dream.

Jiang Ruoxi's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. She turned over, mumbled something indistinctly, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Ye Chen stood by the bed and looked at her for a while, his gaze gentle.

"Don't worry, honey, no one will hurt you," he said silently to himself, then quietly left the room.
