"Release him!"
A calm voice permeated the room, as the four menâs gaze abruptly turned towards the back. Their expressions immediately changed upon seeing Ye Luo walking in.
With a thud, Chen Yaowen collapsed on the ground. The faces of the four Innate Late Stage masters were extremely grave, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Ye Luo.
They had witnessed this manâs terror just yesterday and had not expected to encounter Ye Luo again today.
Ye Luoâs eyes swept coldly over the four men as he flipped his wrist, and the Lingyun Sword appeared in his hand.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light, and before the four men could defend themselves, their throats were slashed. Blood spurted from their necks as they fell to the ground in unison, lifeless.
To Ye Luo, killing four Innate Late Stage masters with a single sword strike was as easy as stepping on ants, posing no challenge whatsoever.
Chen Yaowen, witnessing this scene, was overwhelmed with fear, his heart trembling violently as he looked at Ye Luo, who seemed like the devil incarnate to him. Only now did he truly understand the horror of Ye Luo.
Ye Luoâs eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Chen Yaowen and put away the Lingyun Sword.
Feeling Ye Luoâs gaze, Chen Yaowen shuddered, his body covered in cold sweat. Despite Ye Luoâs inaction, he felt a deep sense of fear.
"Donât kill me. Let me go, and I can give you the recording, which can prove Ling Corporationâs innocence," Chen Yaowen pleaded desperately as he looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo sneered, "You probably never expected to end up like this, did you? Why not just happily be the deputy general manager? Why covet swan meat when it could choke you to death?"
"As for letting you go? Impossible. Of course, I wonât kill you either, because you donât deserve that. Spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Donât you want the recording?" Chen Yaowen said with a very unsightly face.
"Are you talking about the USB drive in the safe?" Ye Luo sneered, causing Chen Yaowenâs face to pale with shock.
Ye Luo entered the same room Chen Yaowen had been in and quickly came out holding a USB drive.
"How... how did you know about that?" Chen Yaowen looked at the USB drive in Ye Luoâs hand, his face going from shock to complete despair.
In a secluded villa, Fang Yan was sitting on the sofa, waiting for the return of those four men, but they had not shown up, and no one answered his calls.
"Could something have happened?" Fang Yanâs face darkened, when suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello!" As soon as Fang Yan answered, his face turned exceedingly grim.
"Damn Nie Corporation!" Fang Yan cursed under his breath. He had just received a call from someone at Fang Corporation, notifying him that earlier today, Nie Corporation had suddenly invested over ten billion to help Ling Corporation withstand Fang Corporationâs siege.
Ling Corporation might have collapsed today, with its funds frozen and a series of scandals, if not for Nie Corporationâs unexpected intervention at this critical moment.
"Move all of Fang Corporationâs reserve funds into this fight, and draw out all the funds from the subsidiaries. In short, whatever money Fang Corporation has should be thrown into this battle. Even if we have to take out loans, spare no expense; we must crush Ling Corporation at any cost," Fang Yan commanded with a chilling voice and a ferocious expression.
"Mr. Fang, but Iâm afraid that will lead to the entire Fang Corporationâs financial chain breaking, and when that happens, the whole Fang Corporation will fall into a crisis,"
"Donât give me nonsense. I am the master of Fang Corporation. Do as I say immediately, or pack your things and get out," Fang Yan said coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Fang." The man on the other end of the phone was startled and hurried to follow Fang Yanâs orders.
"Ye Luo, I must make you lose something." Fang Yanâs eyes were ferocious, his body exuded an evil aura, and he seemed to be falling into an extreme, becoming somewhat crazed.
Clearly, his hatred for Ye Luo had reached a limit, even if it meant sacrificing Fang Corporation to crush Ling Corporation and make Ye Luo pay a price.
At this time, Ye Luo had already arrived at Ling Corporation with Xue Tu and the other two.
The moment Ye Luo walked into Ling Corporation, many Ling employees were taken aback and looked at Ye Luo with a surprised expression, never expecting that their presidentâs former fiancĂ©, who had broken off the engagement, would appear here again.
"Hey, isnât this Young Master Ye? What brings you to Ling Corporation again, looking for our president? Sorry, but youâre not welcome here anymore. Leave immediately. Also, Hei Zi, you and your guys have been fired and are not allowed to step foot into Ling Corporation anymore,"
Hou Dayong suddenly appeared, pointing at Ye Luo and his group and spoke without any courtesy.
A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Luoâs eyes as he looked at Hou Dayong and said, "Hei Zi, throw this guy out and donât let him step half a foot into Ling Corporation again."
"Yes, boss!" Hei Zi nodded, an excited look on his face, and walked towards Hou Dayong.
"What... what are you doing? You canât do this, I am the Head of Security at Ling Corporation!" Hou Dayongâs face changed, and he quickly shouted.
"As of today, you are no longer the Head of Security at Ling Corporation; you have been officially dismissed,"
Ye Luo said coldly, emitting a strong domineering presence, while Hou Dayong was directly thrown out of Ling Corporation by Hei Zi like trash, lying on the ground outside Ling Corporation in a very sorry state.
"You..." Hou Dayong stared at Ye Luo and the others with an angry expression on his face.
"Xue Tu and the rest of you, stay here," Ye Luo said, and then he walked towards the elevator. The employees of Ling Corporation who were present were stunned by Ye Luoâs domineering action just now.
"Is this the rhythm of a reconciliation?" A staff member said dazedly.
On the twenty-fifth floor of Ling Corporation, Ye Luo appeared and headed straight for Ling Qingyaâs office. Along the way, those senior executives at Ling were also very shocked to see Ye Luo.
Walking into the office, Ye Luo saw Ling Qingya speaking with her secretary, Zhou Siqi. Upon hearing the door open, both women turned their gaze over.
Ling Qingya, seeing Ye Luo, remained very calm, while Zhou Siqiâs eyes, like everyone else, showed a trace of surprise.
"Siqi, step outside," Ling Qingya told Zhou Siqi, and after giving Ye Luo another glance, Zhou Siqi left the office.
"Why are you here?"
Ling Qingya asked Ye Luo indifferently, her eyes no longer cold, and it was clear that her hatred and resentment for Ye Luo had disappeared.
"Naturally, Iâm here to help Ling Corporation. How is the situation at Ling now?" Ye Luo sat in front of Ling Qingya and said.
