Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 896: Are You That Afraid of Me Dying?

At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi seemed utterly devastated, as though she had suffered a great grievance. Sparkling tears shimmered incessantly in her eyes, and her originally fair, jade-like face had turned pale as paper. Her delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if a light breeze could topple her over.

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi in such a pitiful state, Ye Xunhuan felt an inexplicable ache deep within his heart, as though a sharp knife had mercilessly stabbed at it.

"Wife, who bullied you? Tell me. When I get out of here, I’ll deal with them..."

The moment Ye Xunhuan’s arrogant and domineering words reached her ears, Qiu Ruoxi’s tears, which had been glimmering in her eyes, finally slid down her cheeks.

"Xunhuan, you... you..." Qiu Ruoxi’s voice was choked with emotion at this moment, or more accurately, she was already sobbing so hard she could barely speak.

Although she wasn’t someone from a powerful family and didn’t understand the intricacies of the system, she did understand the law. She also knew the current situation was extremely unfavorable for Ye Xunhuan.

It was a situation that almost guaranteed death!

Looking at Qiu Ruoxi’s tear-streaked face, Ye Xunhuan immediately panicked. "Wife, don’t cry, don’t cry..."

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan suddenly clenched his fists tightly. An overwhelming surge of power, vast like the ocean, erupted from him. The handcuffs and leg shackles binding him emitted crisp sounds all at the same instant!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The handcuffs and leg shackles were completely broken by Ye Xunhuan at that moment. In almost the blink of an eye, he appeared before Qiu Ruoxi as swiftly as a gust of wind.

At the sight of this terrifying scene, Wang Shengli couldn’t help but feel his heart spasm. His gaze toward Ye Xunhuan was suddenly filled with unprecedented awe and reverence.

The handcuffs and leg shackles on Ye Xunhuan were not the kind typically used for ordinary prisoners. These were specially designed and extraordinarily durable.

Wang Shengli had initially been baffled as to why such restraints were necessary for Ye Xunhuan, but now, he understood.

He understood Ye Xunhuan’s terrifying strength. This man was simply not human. If even these reinforced restraints couldn’t hold him, ordinary ones wouldn’t stand a chance.

At this moment, Wang Shengli felt a deep sense of relief—it was fortunate that he wasn’t Ye Xunhuan’s opponent and that he was one of Ye Xunhuan’s people. Otherwise, if he had to oppose Ye Xunhuan, his own head...

Wang Shengli couldn’t help but shudder violently and feel a chilling wind blow across his back.

However, in the next instant, Wang Shengli’s gaze toward Ye Xunhuan became filled with resilience—a steadfast determination to follow Ye Xunhuan’s footsteps for the rest of his life!

If Wang Shengli had harbored even a shred of uncertainty before, now all his doubts had vanished. He was utterly resolute—he would follow Ye Xunhuan to the bitter end in this lifetime.

To follow such a man meant his own future...

Furthermore, Ye Xunhuan was also the nephew of the Qin family.

Most importantly, at this moment, Wang Shengli was almost certain that if Ye Xunhuan did not want to die, Lin Zhennan would never be able to kill him!

Even if Lin Zhennan had ten years, he would never be able to kill Ye Xunhuan!

Having reached Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan immediately pulled her into his arms. "Wife, you... don’t scare me, okay? Why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me now, and I’ll take care of them right away..."

Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan realized that, without knowing exactly when, Qiu Ruoxi’s figure had carved itself deeply into his heart. Her every frown and smile were enough to sway his emotions.

She seemed to have taken root within him, occupying a place that no one else could replace.

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t speak; she simply held Ye Xunhuan tightly, as if afraid that loosening her grip would cause him to disappear.

Meanwhile, upon witnessing this scene, Wang Shengli quietly left the interrogation room, allowing the space to belong solely to Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.

Outside the interrogation room, Wang Shengli saw Wu Mei leaning against the doorframe with a composed expression on her face.

"Did you witness his strength?"

Hearing Wu Mei’s words, Wang Shengli froze for a moment, then nodded. "I finally understand why they needed those kinds of restraints for Young Master Ye!"

"A bunch of self-important fools," Wu Mei sneered disdainfully. "He came in here of his own accord. If he hadn’t wanted to, no one in all of Huaxia could have brought him in!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

As she spoke, Wu Mei cast an interested look up and down Wang Shengli. "Director Wang, I didn’t expect you to take such a bold gamble."

Naturally, Wang Shengli knew Wu Mei was referring to him shooting and wounding Li Minghe previously. He could only respond with an awkward smile. "That was sheer luck on my part!"

"And now?"

"Now I’ve made my decision: as long as Young Master Ye lives, I, Wang Shengli, will always stand by his side. Should he ever need anything from me, I’ll go through fire and water without flinching!" Wang Shengli declared with unwavering conviction.

His demeanor was as if he were swearing allegiance directly to Ye Xunhuan.

"Director Wang, you’re a smart man, and you’ve also treated me well," Wu Mei said with a calm yet meaningful tone. "He’s no ordinary man. If you can win his trust, truly earn his recognition..."

"Then even without the Qin family, his strength alone is enough to make you a high-ranking official. And if you consider venturing elsewhere, you’ll become an outstanding businessman—one who even the most powerful politicians would greet with a smile."

Wu Mei’s words caused Wang Shengli’s heart to skip a beat.

He had already sensed how powerful Ye Xunhuan could be. But he had never imagined that even without the Qin family’s backing, Ye Xunhuan could wield such fearsome influence.

What Wang Shengli didn’t know was that Ye Xunhuan was a Marshal with deep roots in the West. Though his reach didn’t directly extend to Huaxia, those under his command certainly could!

For example, certain foreign entrepreneurs.

At a single word from Ye Xunhuan, they might unhesitatingly venture into the Huaxia market. At that point, whichever city they chose would see its local officials bask in political achievements.

Wu Mei had shared all of this with Wang Shengli not just out of kindness but also because she genuinely thought highly of him. She thought he had what it took to be a competent official.

Not entirely incorruptible, perhaps, but definitely a protector of the people’s interests.

And Huaxia’s political system was in desperate need of such individuals. What Wang Shengli had been lacking was the right lever to propel him upward. Now, that lever was here.

All Wu Mei wanted was for him to seize the opportunity, not let it slip through his fingers.

Ye Xunhuan had no idea Wu Mei was telling Wang Shengli all this, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have cared.

Back in the interrogation room, Ye Xunhuan had finally managed to soothe Qiu Ruoxi.

"Your makeup’s all smudged now—you look like a little kitten..."

"You... how can you laugh? Don’t you know what kind of situation you’re in? Don’t you know they want you dead? They almost wouldn’t let me see you just now. If it weren’t for Wang Shengli, I wouldn’t have been able to see you even now..."

"Do you know how scared I was in that moment?"

Hearing the thick concern in Qiu Ruoxi’s voice, unreserved and raw, Ye Xunhuan felt a wave of warmth swell in his heart. His gaze toward Qiu Ruoxi softened, now filled with a newfound seriousness.

So this was what his place in her heart looked like—so deep, so vast.

"Were you that afraid I’d die?"
