Chapter 127 Chapter 124: The Bunny Girl

By the first day of his imprisonment, Ye Chen had already become the undisputed king of the prison. With the four great kings following his lead, and the support of Rat and Prawn, his life was exceptionally comfortable. In contrast, Liu Bawang’s situation had gone from bad to worse since Ye Chen’s arrival. Now, within the Jianghuai City prison, one could see a "bunny girl" wearing a white tunic and rabbit ears, carrying a large basket on his back filled with piles of prison uniforms.

"Hey, Turtle Liu, there's more here!" a voice shouted from a cell. The "bunny girl" immediately walked over with his basket. The person inside the cell threw a bundle of clothes into the basket and barked, "Wash them clean! If they aren't spotless, don't expect to eat tonight!"

"Yes, yes!" Liu Bawang nodded repeatedly, his face filled with resentment.

Liu Bawang had been reduced to the lowest status in the prison, while Ye Chen had usurped his position. This created a sense of intense crisis for Zhang Dadan, who feared that Ye Chen might soon replace him as well.

Night descended, and the lights of Jianghuai City began to glow. Beneath the city's calm surface, a massive crisis was brewing, constantly creeping closer toward the Tianya Group. Yet, the CEO of the Tianya Group remained completely unaware.

At this moment, atop the Global International Building—the headquarters of the Tianya Group—a dark figure stood ramrod straight, wearing a traditional opera mask. His deep eyes gazed into the endless void of the night sky. Soon, two figures flew up from below.

"Helmsman!" The two men in black, also wearing masks, bowed respectfully to the dark figure.

"Hmm." The man nodded. Turning to look at the one wearing a Japanese sumo mask, he said coldly, "I ask you, why have you still not made your move?"

"I... I, Helmsman, your subordinate has not yet found a good opportunity!" the man stammered. If Ye Chen were here, he would immediately recognize this obese man in the sumo mask as Li Cheng. As a member of the "Doomsday Family," Li Cheng had been subjected to rigorous training and indoctrination since childhood.

"Hmph, I will give you one more month. If you still haven't acted by then... bring me your head!" The Helmsman, wearing a skull mask, laughed coldly and sternly commanded, "Do you hear me?"

"Yes, I understand!" Li Cheng nodded immediately.

"Hmph, you had better behave yourself!" The Helmsman let out a cold laugh, his gray-white hair dancing in the wind, before leaping off the building with the other man. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace. Li Cheng removed his mask and tucked it into his jacket. He pulled an old family photo from his pocket, his eyes filled with reluctance and pain. After all, they were his family. If he truly destroyed the Tianya Group, he would be pushing his own father into a fiery pit and forcing his sister to jump off a cliff.

*Sigh...*

Li Cheng let out a weary breath. With trembling hands, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Leaning against the rooftop railing, he looked out at the twinkling nightscape, suddenly feeling like a stranger in this city. To fulfill the Helmsman’s orders, he had returned to the Li family and the Tianya Group, slowly gaining the trust of Li Tianya and Li Ruo, all to lead them toward their destruction.

In his mind, Li Cheng recalled the past and his miserable childhood, while Li Ruo had grown up in a bed of roses. A surge of anger rose within him. He gritted his teeth, his eyes turning bloodshot. A murderous intent flooded his heart. He dropped the cigarette to the ground, crushed it fiercely, and walked toward the stairwell.

The next morning, Li Ruo rushed to the Jianghuai City prison, accompanied by her assistant Lin Ziwen and Captain Cao. As a bodyguard, Captain Cao was deeply moved. Ye Chen, that rascal, had not only been promoted to supervisor but also received such personal care from the beautiful CEO—it was truly a life worth dying for. Unable to hide his envy, Captain Cao busied himself preparing the car and ensuring Li Ruo's safety.

When they arrived, Lin Ziwen handled the arrangements to visit. However, as soon as the guards heard they were there to see Ye Chen, they were incredibly enthusiastic, personally leading the way and even serving them coffee. Before long, Ye Chen walked out of the prison looking relaxed. Unlike the others, he wore no handcuffs, and his prison uniform was brand new.

"Ye Chen!" Seeing him emerge, Li Ruo stood up, excited.

"Uh... CEO Li, Assistant Lin, it's you two!" Ye Chen was startled, then grinned, dropping his lazy demeanor. Lin Ziwen huffed, "CEO Li has done so much for you..."

"Ziwen, go outside for a moment!" Li Ruo interrupted, not wanting Ye Chen to worry about her.

"Sigh, fine." Lin Ziwen nodded and turned to leave. Inside the room, only Ye Chen and Li Ruo remained. Li Ruo’s eyes welled up as she looked at Ye Chen’s short-cropped hair and prison uniform; her heart ached. Ye Chen grinned, "CEO Li, why are you crying? I’m... I’m doing just fine, aren't I?"

"You jerk!" Li Ruo threw herself into his arms, pouting, "Did you forget how you’re supposed to address me?"

Ye Chen paused, laughing awkwardly, "Hehe, how could I forget? I just wasn't sure if you were the 'daytime you' or the 'nighttime you' right now!"

"Hmph, from now on, whether it's day or night, I am your master!" Li Ruo sniffed, pouting like a little girl. Ye Chen gently pinched her delicate, smooth nose and grinned, "Little Ruo, don't worry. I'm fine in here. I have a feeling I'll be getting out soon!"

"Hmm," Li Ruo nodded, "I will do my best to get you out as soon as possible!"

"Sigh, you silly girl, why waste so much effort on me?" Ye Chen smiled faintly.

"Hmph, because you are my slave. I went through so much trouble to find a slave who can fight like you, I don't want you locked up for life!" Li Ruo huffed. Ye Chen laughed. He knew that wasn't really what she felt. He nodded and said, "Alright, since I'm your slave, let me serve my master!"

With that, Ye Chen leaned in and captured Li Ruo’s red lips. His tongue quickly parted her teeth, and in a blink, he had breached her defenses. Li Ruo was startled and tried to struggle, but Ye Chen held her firmly. She could only meet his tongue, and the two became entangled. Li Ruo felt her entire body melt; the kiss was so wonderful that she wished it could last forever.

However, in Warden Dian Ling’s office, she stared wide-eyed at the monitor. She clearly saw the woman known as the beautiful CEO of Jianghuai City throwing herself into Ye Chen’s arms, the two of them locked in a kiss. It was a visual assault for Dian Ling. Li Ruo had always been her idol—an outstanding female entrepreneur and philanthropist, a figure that most women could only look up to but never hope to emulate.

"My god, what kind of person is this Ye Chen?" Dian Ling stared in astonishment. This scoundrel had not only seduced Zhang Yantong but also won over Li Ruo. She couldn't believe it, nor could she accept it. What kind of charm did this man have to attract two such Peerless women? Dian Ling shook her head, trying to deny it, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Later, Dian Ling went to the visiting room to observe in person and saw that it was true. This only deepened her curiosity about Ye Chen. Little did she know that when a woman’s curiosity about a man reaches a certain level, it is very easy to fall for him.

"You have to be a good girl from now on, or I'll spank you, understand?" Ye Chen grinned, feeling satisfied after the sweet kiss.

"Hmph, I won't listen to you!" Li Ruo replied, "I'm going to a street race at Xiangming Mountain tonight. Master Wei sent an invitation for a very important race. Without you, I’m afraid I won't be able to win!"

"Is that so..." Ye Chen pondered, stroking his chin. "Drive to the road outside the prison tonight. Nine o'clock—don't be late!"

"Okay!" Li Ruo nodded.

After Li Ruo left, the visit could be considered a complete success. That kiss had melted her heart. But not long after she left, Liu Momo arrived. The girl had gone to the hospital for treatment, and the doctors wanted to shave her hair for the bandages, but she stubbornly refused. She knew if her beautiful long hair was gone, Brother Chen might not like her anymore. So, she only had the doctor perform a simple dressing and left. Luckily, the wound hadn't become infected and had already scabbed over.

"Brother Chen, this is the soup I made for you!" Liu Momo took the thermos out and said, "Drink it while it's hot!"

"Wow, I'm so envious!" A few voices drifted in from outside.

"Brother Rat, Brother Prawn! Do you want some soup?" Liu Momo blushed, seeing Rat and Prawn peeking in. In this prison, for Rat and Prawn, there were no obstacles; they went wherever they pleased, and the guards didn't dare stop them.

"Hehe, we wouldn't dare drink that. That’s Brother Chen's love-filled chicken soup!" The two huddled together, exchanging ambiguous looks while staring at Liu Momo and Ye Chen. This made Liu Momo even more shy. She glared at them, "Brother Rat, you're so mean! Watch out, or I'll have Brother Chen beat you up!"

"Ah! We're doomed, we're going to get a beating!" The two feigned alarm but showed no fear, shouting loudly. Prawn, the sly one, even rubbed his backside and hopped around, "Ouch, it hurts so much..."

"Enough, quit it! Momo isn't as thick-skinned as you two. If you want some, just sit down and drink!" Ye Chen glared at them. His command worked; they stopped clowning around and squatted to the side to drink the soup.

"Damn, don't steal my chicken leg!" Rat roared.

"The chicken leg isn't yours; I grabbed it first, so it's mine!" Prawn argued. The two of them were bickering over the soup, much to Liu Momo’s amusement.

After finally seeing Liu Momo off, Zhang Yantong arrived. What a lively day of visits. Rat and Prawn had no love for Zhang Yantong; compared to the adorable Liu Momo, they felt she was worlds apart. So, when she walked in, they huffed and left the room.

"Captain Zhang, thanks for your care!" Ye Chen chuckled.

"Don't, don't say that!" Zhang Yantong blushed, thinking of the passionate kiss she had shared with Ye Chen the other day.

"The warden is your classmate, right?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Zhang Yantong nodded and asked, "Has she come to see you?"

"Oh, yes, she has!" Ye Chen nodded, but he didn't tell her what the warden had said. He didn't know how Zhang Yantong would react, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if those two women started brawling. Zhang Yantong frowned, "She didn't say anything to you, did she?"

"No, she said you two have a pretty good relationship, and that you're best friends!" Ye Chen’s words were the complete opposite of what Dian Ling had said.

"Huh? Really?" Zhang Yantong was stunned, unable to believe that Dian Ling would say such a thing.

"Hmph, I never said any such thing!" Dian Ling’s voice drifted in. Ye Chen turned around to see Dian Ling standing there with her arms crossed, her black hair draped over her shoulders. He looked stunned, "You... you were eavesdropping the whole time?"

"That's right!" Dian Ling smiled, "And that includes watching you kiss Li Ruo!"
