Chapter 407
At ten-thirty, the Xiao Family’s butler called, saying a car was waiting for her on the road outside the office building.Ye Yuning was extremely reluctant to go. She said angrily into the phone, "I really have nothing to do with your family’s Seventh Master! Can I not go?"
"Miss Ye..."
"I swear! I’ll take a deadly oath, alright? If I have anything to do with your Seventh Master, may I be hit by a car the moment I step outside!"
Ye Yuning was frantic.
Everyone in Upper City knew about the Xiao Family patriarch’s methods and turned pale at the mention of his ruthlessness.
He’s now convinced I have some sort of relationship with his son—how am I supposed to deal with this? If I really go, today’s events definitely won’t end smoothly.
Butler Zhong said, "There’s no need for a deadly oath. You should go to the old residence and explain to the Old Master in person. He is already waiting for you."
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Explain? Did it sound like they wanted an explanation? It seemed more like they wanted her to admit she was at fault. Who on earth had she offended to be caught up in such chaos all morning? Xiao Shuo had even insulted and attacked her over this! Thinking of this, Ye Yuning decided it might not be a bad idea to meet Old Master Xiao after all. She could also take the opportunity to tell him to manage his grandson properly. If there’s something wrong with his eyes, get them checked; if there’s something wrong with his brain, get it checked. He shouldn’t be out here harassing her.
Chen Wei came in and asked, "Boss, should I order lunch for you?"
"No need, I’m going out," Ye Yuning replied, standing up, grabbing her bag, and heading out.
She was extremely irritable, so her expression was naturally unpleasant.
On the way, she kept muttering curses about Xiao Shuo under her breath; she was clearly furious about what had happened today.
The weather was excellent today. As she stepped out of the office building, she was hit by the intense, blinding sunlight.
Suddenly!
A dark figure flashed before her eyes. BANG! The collision left Ye Yuning’s mind reeling. "Ugh!"
When she finally managed to steady herself, she realized her bag had vanished.
HUH?!
A robbery?
She whipped her head in the direction the dark figure had fled and saw the person clutching her bag, running towards the corner.
"You bastard! Stop right there!"
Damn it! Robbing me?
She kicked off her high heels and frantically chased after the person.
The Xiao Family’s Butler Zhong had already stepped out of the car, as he had come to pick her up personally.
When he saw what was happening about fifty meters away at the office building’s entrance, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he saw Ye Yuning fiercely chasing after the robber, and he was greatly alarmed.
Anyone daring enough to commit robbery in such a bustling area must be driven by desperation. Such people are absolutely vicious and dangerous.
"Quick, after them!"
Butler Zhong jumped back into the car, urged the driver to give chase, and simultaneously pulled out his phone to call the police.
Ye Yuning was familiar with the terrain here. Coupled with the chaotic crowd, it only took her a few minutes to catch up to the person.
"Are you tired of living?! Give me back my bag!"
She grabbed the person’s clothes, intending to wrestle them to the ground, but the individual was too large. She couldn’t pin them down and was instead violently flung aside.
She lost her footing and twisted her ankle. The intense pain completely ignited Ye Yuning’s fury.
"You damn punk! I think you’re tired of living!" Ye Yuning completely ignored the pain and charged forward again, regardless of how much larger her opponent was.
Hot-tempered people tend to overlook many rational considerations in such situations.
For instance, her rage made her forget the danger.
When Butler Zhong and the driver caught up, they saw Ye Yuning grappling with the assailant.
The driver was about to get out of the car to help Ye Yuning, but Butler Zhong grabbed him. "Wait!"
The driver was taken aback. He looked at Butler Zhong, somewhat puzzled. After all, she’s just a girl.
But soon, the driver felt that the term ’girl’ could not adequately describe Ye Yuning.
Butler Zhong watched the explosive scene unfolding not far away, sucked in a sharp breath, and remarked, "How could the Seventh Master possibly like such a woman?"
"Exactly!" the driver exclaimed.
No wonder none of the women who tried to get close to the Seventh Master before ever caught his eye. So it’s because he has a unique taste—he likes this kind of fierce she-devil? If that’s the case, then one has to admit, the Seventh Master’s taste truly is unique.
Ultimately, Ye Yuning was still a girl. No matter how fierce she was, she eventually found herself at a disadvantage.
Moreover, her opponent had no intention of getting overly entangled with her and tried to shake her off several times to escape.
But Ye Yuning wasn’t one to be trifled with. "Give me back my bag, and I’ll let you go!"
"You damn woman! Once something falls into my hands, it’s mine! Get lost!"
The assailant kicked at her. She dodged nimbly, a fresh wave of anger flaring up inside her.
Just as she was about to teach the assailant a lesson,
Suddenly, another person appeared from behind the first assailant, brandishing a gleaming knife.
Some onlookers who had initially considered stepping in to help immediately backed off three paces when they saw the knife.
Ye Yuning, who had been about to advance, froze. "You... you... you’re working as a team?"
If that was the case, she couldn’t just rush in recklessly.
Seeing the knife in the accomplice’s hand, much of her anger dissipated, and her rationality gradually returned.
"Take the money and valuables from the bag, but give me back my ID and documents!" Ye Yuning gritted her teeth.
This was the only concession she could make right now. Normally, she wasn’t the type to let anyone take advantage of her.
However, the assailants paid her no heed; the two of them simply ran off!
