I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

"Huh." Ye Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Yaru to think like that. He immediately felt a mix of the desire to cry and to laugh and quickly said, "I am only entrusted by Elder Li to protect you for a while, so... please don't misunderstand."

Ye Chen didn't want to hurt Lin Yaru, especially since they had known each other for quite some time and had even saved each other's lives. If Lin Yaru developed any misunderstandings or grudges against him because of this, that was not a result he hoped to see.

"I know, but I still want to thank you," Lin Yaru said with a smile.

"Hehe, no need to thank me, just don't interrupt my main business," Ye Chen replied with a smile, his gaze drifting to the street front, ready to hail a taxi and leave.

But at that moment, his ears suddenly twitched, and he turned his head to look to the right.

At the street corner stood a few men in black suits wearing sunglasses, standing next to a street lamp.

Even though they were some distance away, he could still discern that each of the four men was holding a sharp dagger, their target aimed straight at him!

Ye Chen's pupils constricted sharply.

These four men in suits all emitted a strong murderous aura, and their fierceness was intense, obviously having been stained with blood!

"It looks like trouble has arrived," Ye Chen murmured, a strong sense of danger rising in his heart.

"Hey, you four, stop right there!"

Ye Chen barked sharply, his figure flashed out and reached behind the four men in the blink of an eye, blocking their path.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing?" Lin Yaru exclaimed when she saw this, and hurried to Ye Chen's side, pulling him behind her.

"I suspect they are robbers, so I'm taking them down," Ye Chen said indifferently.

"Are you crazy!" Lin Yaru glared at Ye Chen.

"There's no helping it. Since the enemy has chosen this critical moment to target you, they must have premeditated and we can't take this lightly!" Ye Chen said with gravity.

Lin Yaru opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Ye Chen interrupted her: "Let's go. You should come home with me. I can handle this small trouble myself without you having to step in."

After saying that, Ye Chen grabbed Lin Yaru's hand and quickly left.

Not long after Ye Chen and Lin Yaru left, the four suited men followed and trapped them in a dead-end alley.

"Ye Chen, you didn't purposely lead me away, did you?"

After entering the dead-end, Lin Yaru let go of Ye Chen, a wary look on her face as she stared at the four suited men.

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders, saying wordlessly, "If I wanted to ditch you, would I have a hole in my head?"

"Then why did you tell me to leave?" Lin Yaru pouted her cherry lips and questioned.

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "You see, these four are trained fighters, not just ordinary kidnappers. If you stay by my side, it will interfere with me and they'll be hampered!"

Hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Lin Yaru pouted, "Hmph, I couldn't care less about you."

She knew Ye Chen wasn't wrong; if she stayed by his side, it could indeed affect his combat abilities.

"Hehe, that's more like it," Ye Chen remarked with a faint smile.

He was someone who had gone through life-and-death trials. Now, these mere four trained fighters couldn't scare him.

Furthermore, judging from the stature of the four suited men, they should be more than just average thugs; they were powerful experts.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing Ye Chen, and those so-called experts were simply no match for him in his eyes.

The four suited men also instantly locked onto Ye Chen, ready to strike.

Ye Chen faced them head-on without fear.

As the distance between the two sides closed and they were about to collide, Ye Chen suddenly threw a punch.

Bam!

Ye Chen's kick landed fiercely on one of the suited men.

The man in the suit grunted, flying out directly.

Followed by Ye Chen twisting his body to dodge the attacks from the remaining three men in suits and charging like a swift gale.

Bang Bang Bang!

Ye Chen's strikes were incredibly fast, each one inevitably taking down a man in a suit.

In less than a minute, the last one was also knocked unconscious by a palm from Ye Chen.

Ye Chen dusted off his hands, looking at Lin Yaru who was still in extreme shock.

Lin Yaru snapped back to reality, her pretty face full of astonishment. She could never have imagined Ye Chen's combat capabilities would be so terrifying.

It must be known, every one of these men in suits was killer-level tough, yet they were as fragile as paper mache before Ye Chen.

Could Ye Chen's strength be too horrifying?

At that moment, the men in suits who had been knocked unconscious, opened their eyes, and with dazed faces stared at Ye Chen.

They had initially been ordered to kidnap Lin Yaru, but ended up being defeated in one move; the sense of humiliation in their hearts was imaginable, they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Ye Chen scanned the four men, saying coldly, "Who sent you?"

The four exchanged glances, none answering Ye Chen's question.

"If you do not speak, then don't blame me for being impolite," Ye Chen's voice turned even colder.

"Ye Chen, don't be reckless!" Lin Yaru said with worry. Although she also despised these thugs, she didn't want Ye Chen to kill them.

"Don't worry, they are not worth dirtying my hands."

As his words fell, Ye Chen's right hand shaped into a claw, suddenly striking towards the four men in suits!

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, all four men in suits collapsed onto the ground.

Ye Chen took out their cell phones and started checking through them.

When he sees a particular message, Ye Chen's pupils slightly constrict, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

The content of the message was roughly:

"Ye Chen, if you want Lin Yaru to live, come find me at Dragon Sea Villa tomorrow night at half-past seven."

After reading the message, Ye Chen handed the phone to Lin Yaru, speaking gravely, "This bunch of scoundrels came for you."

Lin Yaru was startled, "Why target me again? I have no connection with these guys, why are they after me?"

Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "If nothing unexpected, this is Yang Hongda's doing."

"What do we do now?" Lin Yaru was a bit panicked.

She hadn't expected that in just a short week, Ye Chen would be caught up in such trouble again, and this time it was aimed at her!

"Leave this matter to me for now. You don't need to get involved, just go home and wait for me," Ye Chen pondered for a moment, speaking slowly.

"Okay." Lin Yaru nodded. Knowing she wasn't suited to involve herself in these matters, she left the alley as Ye Chen had instructed.

After Lin Yaru left, Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed Li Fu, informing him about the series of events that had befallen Lin Yaru.

Learning that Lin Yaru was nearly kidnapped, Li Fu was instantly furious, stating he would immediately bring people to Jiangzhou City to protect her.

After hanging up, Ye Chen's gaze turned profound...

"Yang Hongda, I hope you really have the courage to come, otherwise..."

Suburb of Jiangnan Province, an abandoned factory, which covered thousands of acres.
