My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chen Ziran’s face was anxious. She hailed a cab from the side of the road and headed straight for the suburbs.

In the car, Chen Ziran was trembling all over, her lips tightly pressed together, her brows furrowed, and her face slightly pale. She mumbled to herself, ”I hope everything is okay. I hope everything is okay.”

Ye Guichen looked serious. He reached out and held Chen Ziran’s hand.

Her hand was extremely cold. The moment it was held, she instinctively tried to withdraw it.

”Honey, no matter what happens, I’m here with you,” Ye Guichen smiled.

Chen Ziran lifted her head, meeting his eyes, and for some unexplainable reason, she felt a sense of calm.

This man... why did his mystery have such a captivating feel?

”The factory in the suburbs of the Chen Group is on fire,” Chen Ziran spoke after a while.

Although she didn’t think Ye Guichen could help, at least someone could share the burden with her.

”Just now, I received a call informing me about it, but we don’t know the exact extent of the fire yet,” Chen Ziran said, feeling helpless. ”That factory produces medical equipment. We just signed a contract with Renmin Hospital today. If we can’t deliver on time, not only will we have to pay a huge penalty, but the Chen Group will also be severely impacted. I fear that being kicked out of the Chen family will be the least of my problems.”

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes.

So ruthless.

This move drove Chen Ziran straight into a dead end.

And, I just got the position of Manager of the Security Department today. The factory fire is also the responsibility of the Security Department. This not only implicates Chen Ziran but also me.

This is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Currently, there’s no evidence, and without knowing the factory’s losses, there’s nothing we can do.

Meanwhile, at the lakeside villa.

A sumptuous dinner was laid out in front of Chen Longxiang.

Beside him stood He Lao Liu, bowing.

”Haha, He Lao Liu, brilliant! This time, you did an excellent job!” Chen Longxiang downed the wine in his glass and said heartily, ”I want to see how my dear sister handles this.”

He Lao Liu flattered, ”It’s all thanks to your leadership, Mr. Chen. I’m just running errands.”

”Haha, no need to flatter me. Rest assured, after this succeeds, not only will Chen Ziran be kicked out, but I’ll also make sure Ye Guichen ends up in jail. The position of Manager of the Security Department will be yours,” Chen Longxiang promised.

He Lao Liu rejoiced upon hearing this, ”Thank you for your support, Mr. Chen.”

99 Xinjiang Road.

Flames soared into the sky at this moment.

By the time Ye Guichen and Chen Ziran arrived, the factory was beyond saving.

”What’s going on?” Chen Ziran got out of the car and hurriedly ran to the entrance, but was stopped by someone.

That person’s face was covered in black soot.

He kept his head down and didn’t dare to look at Chen Ziran.

”Manager Wu, I’m asking you, what happened?” Chen Ziran shouted, restraining the urge to slap the middle-aged man in front of her.

Wu Yingda, the manager responsible for the Chen Group’s medical equipment production, trembled as he spoke, ”Mr. Chen, we don’t know what happened. One of the workshops suddenly caught fire. Although we tried to save it, the fire spread too fast, and we couldn’t save it.”

”Were there any casualties?”

”No, none. I saw the fire was out of control, so I had everyone evacuated. Look, the whole factory is now completely ruined!” Wu Yingda shook his head.

”You...” Hearing this, Chen Ziran felt a surge of blood rising and collapsed to the side.

Ye Guichen quickly supported Chen Ziran, his eyes filled with a cold rage.

”I’m Chen Ziran’s husband. You take her to rest first, and you, show me around the site,” Ye Guichen ordered sternly.

Wu Yingda looked up at Ye Guichen and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Ye Guichen’s face hardened, ”I’m now also the Manager of the Security Department. Hurry up.”

”Yes, yes.” Wu Yingda quickly nodded and led Ye Guichen towards the factory.

The flames were so intense that even from tens of meters away, one could feel the strong, burning heat.

”Manager Ye, there’s really nothing we can do. We...” Wu Yingda started to say, but was interrupted by someone shouting, ”No, there’s still someone inside!”

”What?” Wu Yingda trembled and shouted towards the voice, ”What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to evacuate everyone?”

A worker hurriedly ran over from a distance, ”It’s Liu Hong. Before the fire, I had just relieved him for his break in the rest area. I thought he had come out, but we couldn’t find him. He might still be trapped inside.”

”You...” Wu Yingda pointed at the worker, at a loss for words.

Losing the equipment was one thing, but if lives were lost, it would be even more serious.

”Then what are you standing around for? Go find him!” Wu Yingda barked.

The worker looked troubled, ”Manager Wu, the fire’s too intense. We can’t get in. Even if we did, by now, I’m afraid...”

Despite his strong resolve, Wu Yingda’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, ”It’s over, it’s all over.”

Ye Guichen ignored Wu Yingda and asked the worker, ”Where is he?”

”What are you going to do?” The worker looked at Ye Guichen in confusion.

”Tell me where he is, and I’ll go save him!”

”You?” Both the worker and Wu Yingda were stunned.

The flames were so intense that anyone inside would likely be incinerated. How could he save anyone?

Moreover, going inside was essentially a death sentence.

”Manager Ye, I know you’re anxious, but in this situation...” Wu Yingda tried to advise him, but Ye Guichen glared at him, ”Stop talking nonsense. Tell me where he is, and I’ll go save him!”

”There, over there.” The worker, feeling an inexplicable chill from Ye Guichen, quickly pointed in the direction.

The flames there were over ten meters high, with ashes flying everywhere. It seemed anything could melt in that heat.

Without another word, Ye Guichen dashed toward the flames.

”Manager Ye...” Wu Yingda couldn’t believe Ye Guichen actually dared to go, but before he could stop him, Ye Guichen had disappeared.
