CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 301: HAVE YOU BEEN INVESTIGATING ME ALL ALONG?

The man in black had barely finished his sentence when the wiry man suddenly lifted his leg in a quick back kick, moving so fast that no one could react in time. The gun in the man in black’s hand trembled and fell straight to the ground.

Right after that, the wiry man executed several stunning backflip kicks, leaving a few men nearby clutching their stomachs and groaning in pain.

And even as the wiry man performed these moves, his other hand never let go of Ji Wei.

Ji Wei was completely stunned.

This man’s taekwondo skills had reached a terrifying level; his strikes were as fast as lightning!

Thinking about how Gu Moqian had a bodyguard like this in Japan, Ji Wei suddenly felt much more reassured.

The wiry man ignored the others and led her straight toward a black Bentley not far away.

By the time Boss Zi’s men tried to catch up, the car had already started.

The man in black, filled with frustration, turned back toward the van, looking dejected, but none of them dared to report to Boss Zi.

They knew very well who the man currently with Boss Zi was—no one would dare interrupt them, not even if given ten times the courage.

Boss Zi had her back turned to the scene, while Ye Cheng saw clearly that A Cheng had taken Ji Wei away.

Ye Cheng retracted his gaze quietly and fixed his cold glare on the alluring woman in front of him, demanding icily, "Why did you lure Ji Wei here? She’s not like you; doing this will put her in danger!"

On Ye Cheng’s devilishly handsome face, there was evident anger.

When he received the message from Zimei, he was utterly shocked. He had anticipated that Zimei might show up, but what he didn’t expect was that she had brought Ji Wei along!

Before leaving, Gu Moqian had arranged for someone to follow Ji Wei in secret, afraid she might try to come anyway. Even so, their plan had overlooked Zimei.

Facing Ye Cheng’s sharp questioning, Zimei didn’t get angry. She gazed at the man in front of her, a man she could never see enough of. Her eyes held the adoration of a fangirl—it seemed even a slight furrow of his brows could make her heart race and throw her into infatuation.

This man was her ultimate weakness in this life.

Zimei covered her mouth lightly with a laugh, her charm radiating. Her laugh, if directed at any other man, would have certainly left them dazed and utterly captivated, but Ye Cheng was the exception. His brows furrowed, his expression growing colder by the second.

"A Cheng, don’t you already know perfectly well why I did what I did?" Zimei’s voice was soft and alluring, her large, enchanting eyes fixed unwaveringly on him.

Hearing the words "A Cheng," Ye Cheng’s face momentarily paled.

It was during their passionate romance that Zimei would call him this so intimately.

His expression shifted drastically, as though the name "A Cheng" was a curse that stirred an inexplicable irritation deep in his heart.

With Ji Wei safely taken away, he had no further reason to argue with Zimei. Right now, it was a critical time—Yamamoto Yu’s people could discover their whereabouts at any moment. He had to return to his residence as quickly as possible!

Ye Cheng cast Zimei an exceedingly indifferent glance, one that made her heart tremble, before turning and striding away on his long legs.

Yet, before he had taken more than two steps, Zimei tightly seized his wrist.

The woman’s nails were long, and as she gripped him forcefully, they dug into his skin, causing a bit of pain.

"A Cheng, there’s no way I’ll let you face danger alone. I’m going with you."

Ye Cheng lifted his hand and decisively pried her fingers away from his wrist, his voice laced with cold detachment: "How did you know?"

Ye Cheng was asking her how she had found out about their activities in Japan.

Zimei blinked her eyes and smiled like a radiant rose: "How could I not know? Everything about you is my everything. I already warned you about the danger here, yet you still followed Gu Moqian to come here. You’re just as stubborn as when we left Qi Chuan years ago, always making people worry..."

"Enough!"

Ye Cheng abruptly cut her off, his expression darkening. Mentioning those past events brought an uncontrollable anger to his ice-like features: "You’ve been investigating me all this time, haven’t you?"
