Chapter 32: The Calm Before the Storm

Never in Queena Ye’s wildest dreams would she have thought that Wind Chen would dare to kiss her on the sly like this.
Her heart was pounding wildly, and her eyes were watery. She didn’t know what to do at all.
Wind Chen laughed cheekily. Now his frustrations had disappeared. “Oh my, they’re so sweet.”
“Argh! You irritating scoundrel! I’m going to beat you to death!”
Queena Ye grabbed a pillow and started whacking Wind Chen with it several times in her embarrassment.
But her hits seemed gentle and weak.
“Alright now, that’s quite enough. Go to bed. You still have a lot of matters to attend to tomorrow.”
Wind Chen grabbed hold of Queena Ye’s fair hand.
Queena Ye tilted her head. Her exquisite and flawless profile was fair and slightly pinkish. Her beauty looked otherworldly under the gentle lights.
But after Wind Chen had stolen a kiss from her earlier, her expression exuded a youthful shyness that was rarely seen in her. She scoffed, “Next time, if you’re going to see Lola Chinn, you’d better tell me in advance. Otherwise…otherwise, I’ll break that leg of yours.”
“That leg?”
“The one that I can snip off in your sleep. That leg.” Queena Ye held up her fingers like a pair of scissors.
Wind Chen immediately realized what she was talking about and suddenly felt a chill in his lower half. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Wifey, I did this to help you. It breaks my heart to see how hard you have to work for the company.”
“You’re concerned about me?”
Queena Ye went into a daze momentarily.
“Of course. You’re my wife. Who else would I be concerned about?”
Wind Chen took the chance to hold Queena Ye’s hand tightly.
Queena Ye looked into Wind Chen’s bright eyes and saw a deep tenderness in them. She suddenly became shy and realized she couldn’t meet his gaze anymore, so she quickly looked down instead. “You’re so mushy.”
“You don’t like me to be mushy?”
Wind Chen lowered his head to meet her gaze again.
Queena Ye reacted like a frightened bunny as she pulled her hand out of Wind Chen’s, hopped onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over herself quickly. “I’m tired, and I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight.”
“Wifey, it feels a little chilly tonight. Could I…”
“Turn the temperature up then.”
“But I want to…”
“Don’t even think about it.”
After a little lovers’ quarrel, the two of them had become closer emotionally.
Meanwhile, Phil Loong and Lance Yan were hanging out in a bar somewhere in Chanyang.
“Brother Loong, don’t you think there’s something really creepy about this? That huge truck crushed Queena Ye’s car into scrap metal, but both Wind Chen and Queena Ye managed to survive. It’s unbelievable.”
Lance Yan downed another cold beer in his frustration.
The look in Phil Loong’s eyes was equally dark. “It’s not a bad thing that they didn’t die. Both Queena Ye and her grandfather’s company are in hot water, and they’re being attacked on all sides. I’m going to watch and see who else she can get help from.”
“It’s not so difficult to deal with Queena Ye. The problem is that Wind Chen. Brother Loong, what do you think we should do?”
“That’s not difficult either,” said Phil Loong confidently. “Get someone to kidnap Queena Ye. I’ve got a villa in the suburbs. You get someone to lock Queena Ye in there, then call Wind Chen to go to the villa by himself. As long as he dares to go to the villa, I’m sure we can get rid of him.”
“That’s so smart! Brother Loong, you’re really amazing!” Lance Yan immediately dished out compliments.
“Whatever,” smirked Phil Loong. “Anybody could have thought of this. It’s just whether you’ve got the guts to do it and whether you’ve got the logistics to get it done. It’s very obvious that I have both things, while you have neither.”
“Of course, of course. Brother Loong is always right. Let me give you a toast.”
…
The next morning, Wind Chen woke up very early. After taking time to cultivate, he went ahead to prepare breakfast for Queena Ye as always.
It had been two years, and he never missed a single day.
When the rest of the Ye family got up and was faced with Wind Chen, Zander Ye and Sue Lee’s attitude towards him had changed completely. Mina Ye and her husband both didn’t dare to complain and call him names like they usually did.
Sue Lee, in particular, spoke especially carefully, afraid that Wind Chen would get angry.
“Don’t run about today, alright? Stay home and have a good rest,” said Queena Ye quietly.
“I’d better send you to the office,” said Wind Chen. He didn’t feel assured.
“No need,” said Queena Ye with a smile. “I’ll be really careful. They didn’t manage to get us just yesterday, so I don’t think they’d strike again so soon. Just stay home and don’t worry.”
“Wind, stay home and rest well. I’ll buy some pork ribs later and boil you some soup,” said Sue Lee.
“Huh?”
Wind Chen was really shocked.
This was the first time Sue Lee was being so nice to him!
But of course, Wind Chen knew that Sue Lee was just hoping that he would treat her illness.
“Mum, thank you so much.”
Queena Ye was very happy about this change.
Regardless of Sue Lee’s motivations, this was still a good start.
Sue Lee smiled a little awkwardly and said, “We have owed Wind a lot over the past two years, so I hope we can still make amends.”
“That’s right, Wind. No matter what, we’re a family, so we should accommodate each other,” chimed in Zander Ye.
Wind Chen sighed quietly to himself before saying, “It’s rare for this household to be so harmonious. Mum, don’t worry, I’ll help to treat your illness.”
“That’s great, that’s great.” Sue Lee nodded vigorously.
“I’m off to work.”
Queena Ye wiped her mouth, took her bag, and walked out.
Wind Chen finished his breakfast with the rest of the family, then stood up and said, “I need to attend to some matters, so I’m going out for a while.”
“But Queena said that you shouldn’t go out,” said Sue Lee hurriedly.
“It’s alright. I’ll be back soon.”
Wind Chen waved his hands and left the Ye family villa.
Phil Loong and Lance Yan had attempted to harm Queena Ye. He wasn’t going to let this slide, and he had to do something about it.
In no time, Wind Chen arrived at the Yan family villa.
But his expression soon turned icy.
The entire villa was completely empty.
He figured that the Yan family probably knew that he would come knocking on their door, so they had escaped first.
“Did they think they could escape me like this?”
Wind Chen sneered.
After that, he hailed a cab and went to Chanlye Hotel to look for Laoba Zhang.
From the moment Laoba Zhang spotted Wind Chen, he put on a miserable expression as he asked anxiously, “I’ve returned you all the money I owed you the last time, Big Brother. Or are you here on someone else’s behalf?”
“I’m not here to collect debts. I’m here to ask you to gather some information for me. You’ve got a lot of brothers working for you, so this should be easy,” said Wind Chen.
Laoba Zhang’s eyes immediately lit up. “Big Brother, tell me what you need. Gathering information is my forte.”
“Can you not call me Big Brother? I’m sure you’re at least 20 years older than me, right?” Wind Chen nearly rolled his eyes.
“But if I don’t call you Big Brother, then I don’t know how else I could display my immense respect for you,” replied Laoba Zhang with a straight face.
The newly hired receptionist stared with her eyes and mouth wide open. She was shocked that a powerful and aggressive man like Laoba Zhang knew how to curry favor with others.
Wind Chen couldn’t be bothered to waste time on Laoba Zhang, so he went straight to the point. “Help me to find out what the Loongs and Yans have been doing recently, including how many people are in their family, etc. The more detailed the better. I want everything by tomorrow morning. Any questions?”
“No problem.” Laoba Zhang patted his chest to guarantee his services, then he asked curiously, “But Big Brother, why do you want information on these two families?”
“I want to make sure they both disappear,” replied Wind Chen nonchalantly.
Laoba Zhang shuddered. When he thought about how Wind Chen seemed to possess supernatural powers, he suddenly had a feeling that a terrible storm was about to hit!
