785: Chapter 785 Another Rival in Love!

After reading it, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"So, the clues for both remaining fragments are in Nanxun?"

"One is in a private museum, visible but unreachable."

"The other is on the back mountain of a Taoist temple in the suburbs, impossible to even see."

Yan Qingwu nodded.

Ye Chen stretched. "Fine, I have nothing to do lately anyway, so I'll go take a stroll. If I can collect all four fragments, that would be for the best."

"Then I'm going with you." Yan Qingwu smiled sweetly.

Ye Chen was surprised. "What are you going for?"

"I'm going to help you."

Yan Qingwu rolled her eyes as if it were obvious. "I heard the girls in Jiangnan are all very pretty. What if you start flirting around again?"

Ye Chen couldn't hold back. "Whether I flirt or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"

"Who says so?"

Yan Qingwu pouted. "Sister Lan Lan is my sister, and you are her boyfriend, so I naturally have an obligation to supervise you..."

She paused and looked at Bing Lan. "Right? Sister Lan Lan~"

Ye Chen looked at Bing Lan.

However, he saw Bing Lan nod slightly. "That's right. Last time you went to Eagle Country, you caused such a huge commotion and brought back the Princess of the United Kingdom."

Ye Chen: "..."

Fine, fine, fine.

Is there no basic trust left at all?

The problem is...

Euphemia came of her own volition; it had nothing to do with him!

That evening, Yan Qingwu arrived in Nanxun with Ye Chen as she had wished.

Nanxun is a famous water town in Jiangnan, but Ye Chen was in no mood to enjoy the scenery.

The two exited the airport, got into a car sent by the Dragon Group branch, and drove toward the city center.

Yan Qingwu could finally no longer hold back and asked.

"Ye Chen, where are we going first?"

Ye Chen didn't even think about it and blurted out: "To that private museum."

Yan Qingwu frowned.

"That museum isn't open to the public. Did you forget what I told you?"

"They even decline academic research requests; we won't even be able to get through the front gate."

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Did I say I was going through the front gate?"

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Wait...

If not the front gate, then where?

Wait!

Good grief, is this guy planning to be a thief?

"Are you crazy?"

Yan Qingwu couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's a private museum. The security measures are stricter than a vault, and it's guarded twenty-four hours a day. Do you think it's your backyard?"

"Besides, even if you really could sneak in and out, robbery is against the law!"

That's right!

Even if Ye Chen is a Deputy Director of the Dragon Group, he can't be so lawless, right?

If that were really the case...

It probably wouldn't be long before Ye Chen was subjected to waves of cyberbullying by people with ulterior motives.

Ye Chen smiled. "I didn't say I was going to sneak in."

"Then what exactly are you going to do?" Yan Qingwu was confused.

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Courtesy first, force later. I'll go find someone who can speak for them. If they don't cooperate, then I'll have to do it the hard way."

Yan Qingwu: "..."

How is that any different from what she just said?

Besides.

If it were really that easy to crack, would they have needed Ye Chen to handle it?

Yan Qingwu sighed helplessly and explained: "Let me be clear with you. The person running the museum is the grandson of the Deputy Director of Bureau 749. Once you act first and report later, you'll be offending the entire Bureau 749."

"Don't worry." Ye Chen waved his hand. "As long as he doesn't have any issues, I won't cause trouble for anyone, including myself."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yan Qingwu finally gave up on persuading him.

She only hoped...

It wouldn't get too out of hand.

Before long.

The car arrived at the museum.

As soon as Ye Chen and the other person got out of the car and walked to the entrance, they were stopped by two security guards.

One of the security guards said in a deep voice: "Please stop, you two. This is a private museum. Without a formal invitation, you cannot enter."

"I'll give you three minutes to contact your boss."

"If he doesn't come to discuss this with me, I'm going to break in."

Ye Chen gave his ultimatum nonchalantly.

The two security guards were stunned: "Wait... kid, who are you? How dare you be so arrogant?"

"Who I am is not important."

Ye Chen shook his head. "What's important is that ten seconds have already passed."

The two security guards exchanged glances.

The next second.

"Kid, who the hell are you? How dare you act wild here?"

The security guard on the left sneered, pulled a rubber baton from his waist, and weighed it in his hand. "I've worked here for three years and seen plenty of posers, but this is the first time I've seen someone who can pose as well as you."

"Three minutes? And you're going to break in?"

"Do you think this is your local vegetable market?"

The security guard on the right also pulled out a rubber baton and glared at Ye Chen.

"Now I'll give you two choices."

"Either get lost, or..."

"I'll beat you until you get lost."

Ye Chen sighed: "Two minutes and thirty seconds remaining."

"You... are courting death!"

The security guard on the left was completely enraged. He raised his rubber baton, and with a whistling sound, it smashed down toward Ye Chen's shoulder.

People who can work as security guards here are no ordinary characters.

They are all from the Middle East, a group of unruly mercenaries.

They have carried guns and killed people.

With a strike like this, an ordinary person's shoulder blade would definitely be shattered...

However.

The rubber baton had already smashed down, but it didn't even touch Ye Chen's clothes.

Because.

The baton stopped abruptly at a spot just a tiny bit above Ye Chen's shoulder, as if it had hit a wall...

That's right!

It just stopped!

It was impossible to continue downward.

The security guards' expressions changed one after another. Just as they were about to speak, a bizarre scene unfolded...

"Crack!"

Cracks appeared on the baton, and they spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then.

"Bang!!!"

The entire rubber baton exploded.

Rubber fragments splattered all over the security guard's face.

"Ah!!!"

He screamed and retreated, falling on his butt to the ground.

The security guard on the right's face changed drastically, and the hand holding the rubber baton was shaking.

"Who... who are you?"

He had killed people in the Middle East, so he naturally understood that someone like Ye Chen was definitely not an ordinary person.

Otherwise...

How could a perfectly good rubber baton just explode all of a sudden?

Ye Chen ignored his question and said indifferently: "Two minutes remaining."

"You... just you wait!"

Seeing this, the security guard who was still standing didn't dare to have any thoughts of negligence.

The next second.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed the number on it.

"Manager, something big has happened!"

"Two people came to the gate and said they want to break in. We can't stop them!"

"You can't stop them? What are you useless people doing?" An angry voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.

"Manager, it's not that we're useless, it's that the person... he..."

"He's not an ordinary person!"

"Not an ordinary person?"

When the manager heard this, he became completely impatient. "I don't care who he is. You stop them for me. I'm calling the police right now!"

The security guard wanted to continue explaining, but his hand suddenly felt empty.

Ye Chen snatched his phone away.

"I am Ye Chen."

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned for a moment.

"Tell your boss to come and see me. I'll only wait for him for half an hour."

"If he doesn't come, then I won't be playing by the rules."

After speaking.

He didn't wait for a response from the other side, hung up directly, and casually tossed the phone back to the security guard.

"You... you are Ye Chen?"

"The Ye Chen who did that earth-shattering thing in Eagle Country not long ago???"

The security guard held the phone, his eyes filled with shock.

He was just wondering what kind of background this young man had to dare to be so arrogant at the entrance of the museum.

But now, he knew.

Ye Chen.

This name—anyone who pays even the slightest attention to current events couldn't possibly have not heard it recently.

The High Priest of Eagle Country was killed by him!

The Princess of the United Kingdom chased after him!

Even big shots of their boss's level, when they mentioned this name at a cocktail party a few days ago, their expressions changed over and over.

The security guard's legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand steady.

He never expected...

That this lord would actually come here and want to break into their museum?

Damn it!

They didn't have enough lives to stop him...

In an instant.

The other person rolled his eyes and pretended to faint.

So much so that the security guard beside him felt ten thousand "grass mud horses" galloping through his heart.

Watching this scene.

Yan Qingwu clicked her tongue secretly.

As expected...

The current Ye Chen has already reached this level.

Just by stating his name, it is enough to make a group of people terrified.

Especially...

The things he did not long ago were truly shocking.

Hmm.

But for her, it seems to be trouble.

After all...

There is another love rival: the Princess of the United Kingdom!!!

Time passed minute by minute.

In less than half an hour, a Maybach drove up and stopped at the museum entrance.

The car door opened.

A young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old stepped out.

The young man was very handsome, but his expression was very cold.

As if...

Everyone owed him a million.

He walked up to Ye Chen, looked him up and down, his face cold.

"You are Ye Chen?"

Ye Chen glanced at him: "You are the grandson of the Deputy Director of Bureau 749?"

The young man's expression grew even gloomier.

He hated it most when people mentioned him with the prefix "so-and-so's grandson."

Although it was indeed because of this status that he could walk sideways in Jiangnan, he didn't like being pointed out to his face.

"My name is Ning Feng."

"The museum is run by me, and you... want to break into my museum???"
