"Dare to attack me, you're asking for death!"
Chen Jie's face turned cold, and with a flash, he approached Yin Chuji.
"You little trash, you still dare to make a move? Hechuan! Aren't you going to show yourself!"
Yin Chuji roared, and everyone suddenly felt a terrifying aura spread throughout the entire hall.
Jiang Long and the others, being ordinary people, were startled and stumbled back a few steps, their faces filled with fear.
Wang Fa and Wang Xiaoyan were not much better off.
The elders of North and South on the side changed their expressions drastically: "This is bad, this, this is a peak Earth-tier master!"
Immediately after, an old figure appeared before everyone silently.
"Boy, the Yin family is not someone you can afford to offend. Stop now," the old figure said indifferently, blocking Yin Chuji.
Chen Jie glanced at him, his expression unchanged. "Who do you think you are? You think you can stop me?"
Hechuan's expression turned cold. "You're courting death!"
With that, he formed his hand into a claw and attacked Chen Jie.
"Stop!" Wang Xiaoyan cried out.
Hechuan was startled and stopped.
"Miss Wang, this person is disrespectful to Young Master Yin and needs to be punished. Otherwise, it will affect the future cooperation between the Yin family and Feiyang Group," Hechuan said with a frown.
Wang Xiaoyan was surprised. "You, you are taking orders from me?"
Hechuan replied, "I am Mr. Wang's personal bodyguard. Now that Mr. Wang has passed away, you are my new master."
"Alright, then I order you not to lay a hand on Chen Jie!" Wang Xiaoyan said, relieved.
Hechuan hesitated for a moment and stopped.
Then, Wang Xiaoyan looked at Yin Chuji and said, "Young Master Yin, please leave my house immediately."
Yin Chuji's expression changed. "Miss Wang, are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure!"
Wang Xiaoyan said.
"Good, very good. But we'll have plenty of opportunities to interact in the future. I'll wait for you in the provincial capital. By the way, I'll go find an old friend of my Yin family first."
Yin Chuji sneered, gave Chen Jie a threatening look, and then turned to leave.
"Xiaoyan, since you've inherited your uncle's assets, you should hurry to the provincial capital and manage the company!" Wang Fa suddenly said.
"Dad, I want to go to the provincial capital after I marry Chen Jie!" Wang Xiaoyan said.
"Don't be silly! Your wedding with Chen Jie can be held anytime; there's no rush. The company is important!"
Wang Fa looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jie, I hope you can understand. This is an opportunity for our Wang family. You wouldn't want to hinder your future development just so you can marry my daughter, would you?"
Chen Jie frowned.
He already considered Wang Xiaoyan his woman and naturally wouldn't hinder her development.
He could only say, "If Xiaoyan wants to go to the provincial capital, I won't stop her."
"But I want to marry Chen Jie! I can't wait anymore!" Wang Xiaoyan said impulsively.
Hechuan reminded her, "Miss, Feiyang Group is not peaceful. Without Mr. Wang, it urgently needs someone to lead the charge. There are some individuals in the group with malicious intent. I suggest you take up your position at the group as soon as possible, or it might be too late."
Wang Xiaoyan's pretty face changed.
She thought for a moment and then looked at Hechuan. "Can you give me one day?"
Hechuan replied, "One day should be fine."
Wang Xiaoyan walked up to Chen Jie, took his hand, and said, "Chen Jie, come with me for a moment."
Chen Jie nodded, and soon, the two went to Wang Xiaoyan's villa.
Just as Chen Jie was about to say something, Wang Xiaoyan's delicate body suddenly pounced on him, and her beautiful lips suddenly pressed against his.
After a passionate kiss, Wang Xiaoyan's pretty face was flushed.
She hugged Chen Jie's waist and looked at him affectionately. "Husband!"
Chen Jie was stunned. "What did you say?"
"You dummy, I called you husband! Husband!"
Wang Xiaoyan said with a blush, "I haven't married you yet, but I've already considered myself your wife. You, you won't refuse, will you?"
Chen Jie smiled with satisfaction. "Of course, I won't refuse."
"Then you're not allowed to laugh at me for being so forward!" Wang Xiaoyan pouted.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would be shocked.
Normally, Wang Xiaoyan appeared aloof and unapproachable to others, but in front of Chen Jie, she transformed into a coquettish little woman.
"I won't laugh at you," Chen Jie said.
Wang Xiaoyan looked directly at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, in my eyes, a hundred billion in assets is nothing compared to you. However, I agreed to go to the provincial capital not for myself, but for both of us!"
Chen Jie's heart stirred; he had a rough idea of Wang Xiaoyan's intentions.
As expected, Wang Xiaoyan said, "You need forty billion to break off your engagement with the Zhang and Yang families. Once I have complete control of Feiyang Group, I will secretly sell some assets to pay it off for you. Then, I can marry you openly."
"Xiaoyan, thank you for doing this for me, but you don't need to sell any assets. I have the ability to pay it off!" Chen Jie said, touched.
"Pfft! I believe you have the ability, but this is just an extra layer of security. What if you can't earn that much money within a year?" Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Alright, then it's decided!" Chen Jie nodded.
However, Chen Jie felt a bit worried.
Besides the Zhang and Yang families, Chen Jie had seven other engagement contracts. He wondered if those seven contracts also had the same conditions for breaking them.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"Let's go!"
Wang Xiaoyan took Chen Jie's hand and, as they walked out, said affectionately, "I want to spend this day with you!"
"Okay!"
The two walked out. As they reached the back door and got into the car, Hechuan's figure suddenly appeared beside them.
"Miss, where are you two going?" Hechuan asked, confused.
"Didn't I have one day? You can wait at the Wang family's residence. My father will entertain you," Wang Xiaoyan said indifferently.
Hechuan respectfully replied, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. I'm following you to protect you. You are now the helmswoman of Feiyang Group, and your status is different from before. There are people who don't want to see you appear and might try to harm you. Therefore, I must stay by your side at all times."
At this moment, Wang Fa also caught up.
He said to Wang Xiaoyan with concern, "Yes, Xiaoyan. Elder He has just explained the situation of Feiyang Group to me. Those people might try to assassinate you. From today onwards, you must have Elder He by your side twenty-four hours a day."
Wang Xiaoyan frowned.
"I want to spend a day alone with Chen Jie. Chen Jie can protect me," Wang Xiaoyan said.
"Whether he can protect you, I need to verify!" Hechuan said.
"How do we verify?" Wang Xiaoyan asked, frowning.
Hechuan looked at Chen Jie. "If he can withstand three of my palms, it will prove that he has the ability to protect you, and I will be at ease letting you leave with him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie turned around, feeling a slight excitement.
"It's perfect timing. I also want to see if you have the ability to protect her!"
