The Yuehua Clubhouse was incredibly large, resembling the massive castles in fairy tales, and though Zhang Xinlan's whereabouts were now a mystery, Ye Chen was certain she was here.
Ye Chen used the simplest method to find Zhang Xinlan's trace, which was to listen.
In martial arts, reaching the state of divine communication with True Qi could perfect one's genetic makeup, unlocking the treasures of the body.
Ye Chen was a Grandmaster-level figure, his genetic makeup increasingly perfected, a true paragon of vigilance with eyes and ears open to all around him.
With his energy concentrated, even if a mosquito flapped its wings ten meters away, Ye Chen could hear it clearly.
"Ah, you are crazy, I am your boss's honored guest, and yet you dare treat me like this!"
"Bastards, I'm going to expose you to the media and get all of you jailed!"
Zhang Xinlan was fleeing in a room with several men following her, looking very distressing.
"Haha, stop resisting!"
"Don't think you alone, even the big star Liu Shihua was taken away by our boss!"
"Even if you expose this, you can't do anything to the boss, his reputation would be ruined in an instant."
These were three tall and burly men, unfiltered in speech, tormenting a frightened Zhang Xinlan.
"Wang Zhihao, you bastard, you'll be struck by lightning!" Zhang Xinlan cursed fiercely. "And you lowlifes, only brave because of your boss, you're doomed to meet terrible ends!"
Wang Zhihao was a wealthy businessman from the harbor area, and also the boss of the men currently besieging her.
"Beautiful lady, what's the time now to be angry? Just surrender nicely!" The men, hearing Zhang Xinlan's shouts, laughed foolishly and did not get angry, but rather enjoyed it even more.
"Bastards!"
Zhang Xinlan was just a helpless woman, these men teasing her only for their amusement, allowing her to barely escape calamity.
"You lowlifes, you will not meet good ends!"
However, at this moment, these men were like wolves escaping a cage, desperate to devour her, and thus they directly captured Zhang Xinlan together.
"Hahaha!" The scoundrels laughed vilely.
Zhang Xinlan completely broke down.
"Ye Chen, where are you!"
Desperate, sad, humiliated, all emotions surged in her heart, and without hesitation, Zhang Xinlan called out Ye Chen's name at this moment.
Ye Chen was the only man who could give Zhang Xinlan a sense of security!
This scene now seemed familiar to her, Zhang Xinlan's mind floated back to the first time she met Ye Chen ten years later when she was cornered by several people from Longcheng.
In her darkest, most desperate and saddest moments, a man descended like a deity from heaven and rescued her!
But now, Zhang Xinlan faced an even greater crisis, and Ye Chen didn't even know her location, how could he appear to save her?
Looking at the disgusting demeanor of the men, Zhang Xinlan's face was ashen, seemingly in despair.
There is true kindness and love in the world.
The Guardian God Goddess, Ye Chen, could he again descend like a deity in the nick of time!
"Boom!"
A loud noise, the tightly closed door of this sealed room was suddenly struck hard, as if hit by a train, the whole door panel broke away from the frame and flew out.
"Who is that!"
"Damn it!"
"Who are you!"
The three scoundrels who were about to misbehave with Zhang Xinlan suddenly saw such a violent scene, and were suddenly frightened.
"I am your worst nightmare!" Ye Chen bellowed.
Ye Chen appeared like a furiously angered king, imposing and fearful, but he slightly relaxed after seeing Zhang Xinlan's clothes were intact, thankful he hadn't arrived too late.
However, thinking of how close Zhang Xinlan came to being dishonored, Ye Chen immediately became enraged.
"Ye Chen!" Zhang Xinlan cried.
She had thought her doom was certain this time, especially since Ye Chen was unaware of her exact location, but there, the majestic figure in her heart miraculously appeared.
All the grievances, all the resilience, everything, at the sight of that silhouette turned into two clear streams of tears.
"Who is this kid, do you know where you are? This is a top private club, and you dare to behave violently here!" A tall man shouted at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen laughed furiously, took a step forward, reached the man in one stride, and punched him. The man didn't have time to react and was knocked down instantly.
"What!" The remaining two were shocked.
They all came from street gang backgrounds where wielding knives and chopping people up was routine, but seeing their companion easily taken down by Ye Chen naturally caused them to lose their color in fright.
"I won't kill you, but I will hurt your lungs to prevent you from doing evil!" Ye Chen's figure, like a ghost, disregarded the spatial distance and flashed in front of the remaining two, stunning them with a punch, his violence boundless.
Ye Chen was a giant, and these scums were merely bugs. A giant stepping on bugs was simply brutal.
"Ye Chen, I'm so scared, sob sob!"
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Zhang Xinlan had recovered, Ye Chen had already dealt with those few lackeys, and she threw herself into his arms without any hesitation.
"Don't be afraid, with me here no one can hurt you!" Ye Chen gently stroked Zhang Xinlan's hair, comforting her.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Xinlan felt Ye Chen's tenderness, and thinking of his valiant appearance just now, she suddenly felt surrounded by a thick sense of happiness.
"That's right!"
"Ye Chen, you have to save Shihua!" Zhang Xinlan broke free from Ye Chen's embrace, her face filled with urgency.
"What happened to her, why were you imprisoned here, who are these people?" Ye Chen glanced at the three people he had knocked to the ground.
"They are all Wang Zhihao's lackeys. Shihua must have been taken away by Wang Zhihao, that crazy fan on the internet was Wang Zhihao!" Zhang Xinlan explained.
"Alright, tell me everything in detail."
Wang Zhihao, a wealthy businessman from the harbor district, had been fervently pursuing Zhang Xinlan previously, but at that time Ye Chen had been out of the picture, so he was unaware.
Zhang Xinlan was Liu Shihua's agent, and wherever Liu Shihua was, Zhang Xinlan would be too. The two of them were nearly inseparable.
Thus, seizing the opportunity, Wang Zhihao invited Liu Shihua to a banquet, but he showed excessive courtesy to Zhang Xinlan during the meal, revealing his affection in an attempt to get close to the well-known beauty in the entertainment circle.
Rich men are generally bad, and Wang Zhihao's reputation was not good either, often involved in scandals with female stars and models.
Zhang Xinlan remained cool and indifferent to Wang Zhihao's fervent pursuit, showing no interest whatsoever.
Actually, during that time, Zhang Xinlan's heart was still occupied with thoughts of the missing Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen returned, for some reason, Wang Zhihao had also kept quiet.
But a few days ago, after Zhang Xinlan had a disagreement with Ye Chen, she kicked him out, and that man had gone missing again.
This had somewhat disheartened her, as she thought Ye Chen had really left angrily.
But just last night, under the pretense of charity, Wang Zhihao once again wanted to host Liu Shihua.
Liu Shihua was a Red Cross ambassador. When someone wanted to organize a charity project, she naturally could not refuse and went to the banquet generously with Zhang Xinlan.
Little did they know, it was a trap!
The charity fundraising went very pleasantly, but in the end, Wang Zhihao revealed his true intentions—Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua only realized it too late as they had been drugged by the wine served by Wang Zhihao.
When Zhang Xinlan woke up, she found herself still here, but Liu Shihua was gone!
Moreover, this room seemed to be sealed off, and Zhang Xinlan couldn't get out at all.
But she knew this place was Yuehua Clubhouse, so she immediately called Ye Chen.
Initially, Zhang Xinlan had also thought about calling the police, but after she covertly sent a message to Ye Chen, those scumbags outside had burst in.
After that, Ye Chen knew the rest, but he felt that this affair was shrouded in eeriness.
"Ye Chen, you must save Shihua!" After Zhang Xinlan finished explaining, she cried behind her hands, worried for her dear friend.
"Don't worry, she won't be harmed!" Ye Chen held her gently, comforting her softly.
Ye Chen was five or six years younger than Zhang Xinlan, but he gave her an immense sense of security, as if with him by her side, not even the sky falling down could be feared.
"I'll take you back to your place first. I will look for Liu Shihua slowly, so much time has passed; a little more won't make a difference!" Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen held his beloved, feeling somewhat guilty.
He was Liu Shihua's bodyguard, Zhang Xinlan's boyfriend, but during their time of crisis, he was with another woman under the moonlight.
However, Ye Chen felt that this affair was very peculiar, with mysteries lurking everywhere, even giving him a chilling sensation…
"Whose car is this?" Zhang Xinlan saw Ye Chen driving an Audi A6 and her face was full of bafflement.
That day, when Zhang Xinlan caught Ye Chen teasing Liu Shihua, she kicked him out in a fit of anger.
She just wanted to punish the guy a bit, intending to forgive him after letting him squat outside for a night.
Little did she know, this guy outright disappeared without a trace, and now Ye Chen had appeared with an Audi car, knowing full well that this car, even if not a top luxury vehicle, was still worth three to four hundred thousand. Where did Ye Chen get so much money!
"You didn't steal it, did you!" Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, Zhang Xinlan asked nervously.
