506: Chapter 506 I like him!
Ye Chen retracted his foot, glanced down at Brother Dao, and turned to leave.
From beginning to end, his expression remained as calm as if he had just finished a casual meal.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
They never expected...
That the young man before them would be so decisive and efficient, taking down all the robbers in an instant!
Seeing this, Bing Lan immediately followed him.
However, they had barely taken a few steps.
“Wait a moment!”
A crisp voice called out from behind them.
Ye Chen paused and turned around.
Euphemia had already stood up from the sun lounger.
One side of her bathrobe's belt had loosened, revealing half of her fragrant shoulder, while her wet golden hair shimmered under the lights.
She quickly crossed the floor covered in shell casings and shattered glass, blocking Ye Chen's path.
“Thank you.”
She tilted her head up, her azure eyes staring directly at Ye Chen with undisguised eagerness in her gaze.
“My name is Euphemia, Princess of the Eagle Country.”
“You saved my life; I will remember this.”
Ye Chen glanced at her and nodded. “You're welcome.”
After saying that, he moved to the side to bypass her and continue on his way.
Euphemia shifted her steps, blocking him again.
“You haven't told me your name yet.”
Ye Chen stopped and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Euphemia pursed her lips, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her azure eyes. “You saved my life, yet I don't even know my savior's name. That wouldn't be right.”
Looking at her determined expression, Ye Chen calmly uttered two words: “Ye Chen.”
“Ye Chen...”
Euphemia repeated in awkward Chinese, “I've remembered it.”
She paused, pulled a business card from her bathrobe pocket, and handed it over.
“This is my private contact information.”
Ye Chen took the card and casually put it in his pocket.
Then.
Taking Bing Lan's small hand, he continued to leave directly.
Watching his nonchalant reaction, a flash of surprise crossed Euphemia's eyes.
She was a Princess of the Eagle Country; countless powerful figures begged for her business card and couldn't get one. Now that she had offered it voluntarily, he had stuffed it into his pocket without even a glance?
But on second thought.
A man who could catch bullets with his bare hands and kill a Heaven Realm Expert with a single slap indeed had the right not to take a princess's business card seriously.
“We will meet again,” Euphemia shouted at Ye Chen's retreating back.
Ye Chen didn't respond, but Bing Lan, who was being led by him, suddenly looked back at Euphemia after a few steps.
The two women's gazes met in the air for a brief moment.
Euphemia was slightly taken aback, then gave Bing Lan a polite smile.
Bing Lan turned her head back expressionlessly.
The two of them walked out of the sixth floor and vanished from everyone's sight.
Just as Ye Chen and Bing Lan's figures disappeared at the stairwell, Ma Tianlai and the others finally snapped out of their daze and hurriedly followed after them.
By the time they caught up to the first-floor lobby, Ye Chen and Bing Lan were already standing at the entrance.
Captain Zhao was leading several SWAT officers toward them, his face full of anxiety.
“Chief, what's the situation up there?”
“Resolved,” Ye Chen said plainly.
Captain Zhao was stunned. “Huh?”
“The robbers have been dealt with, and the hostages upstairs are safe. You just need to go up and handle the aftermath.”
Ye Chen shrugged. “Remember to dig some information out of that survivor. Bringing firearms in here is no easy feat.”
Incredible!
Truly incredible!
As soon as the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group took action, the problem was solved!
“Yes, sir!”
Captain Zhao snapped to attention and saluted, then waved to the SWAT officers behind him. “Team one and team two, follow me up!”
A dozen fully armed SWAT officers filed in and rushed up the stairs.
But when he led his men to the sixth-floor open-air pool and saw the scene before him, he froze on the spot.
Shell casings everywhere!
Shattered glass everywhere!
Four robbers lay sprawled across the ground!
But only one was alive...
Captain Zhao gasped, and the SWAT officers behind him also widened their eyes one by one.
“This... this was done by one person?”
A young SWAT officer murmured.
Captain Zhao didn't answer because he saw something even more shocking...
The floor was littered with densely packed, deformed bullet heads. Starting from a certain point, they looked as if they had hit an invisible wall and fallen in unison!
He understood...
Chief Instructor Ye had most likely suppressed the robbers while facing direct fire!
...
Meanwhile.
At the entrance of the club, several black sedans sped over and screeched to a halt outside the police line.
The car doors opened.
Several foreigners in suits hurriedly stepped out, led by a Middle-aged Man in his fifties.
It was Hunter, the Consul General of the Eagle Country Consulate in Guang City.
Hunter walked quickly to the police line and spoke directly: “I am Hunter, the Consul General of the Eagle Country Consulate. I want to see our princess!”
The SWAT officers looked at each other and were about to report when someone walked out of the club entrance.
It was Captain Zhao.
He had just come down from upstairs, his expression still somewhat complex. Seeing Hunter, he quickly stepped forward.
“Mr. Hunter, Her Highness the Princess is safe.”
Hunter was stunned, then the tension on his face relaxed slightly, but he soon frowned again. “Safe? What do you mean? Where are the robbers?”
Captain Zhao took a deep breath.
“The robbers have been brought under control. I cannot disclose the specific details, but you may go up to see Her Highness now.”
Hunter didn't have time to ask more and led his people quickly into the club.
The elevator doors opened, and Hunter's group rushed to the sixth floor, immediately spotting Euphemia standing by the pool.
“Your Highness!” Hunter rushed forward. “Are you alright?”
Euphemia turned around, glanced at him, and said calmly, “I'm fine.”
Hunter breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the accompanying staff behind him and ordered, “Arrange for a doctor to examine Her Highness immediately...”
“No need, I'm perfectly fine right now.”
Euphemia interrupted him. “Help me investigate a man named Ye Chen. I want all the information on him.”
Hearing this name, Hunter's expression changed drastically.
“Ye Chen?”
“Are you talking about the same one...”
“The Ye Chen involved in the bombing of the Nordic Saint Hall, for whom the leaders of five nations are looking for evidence?”
“The Ye Chen who was arrogant enough to kill the second master of the Manluodi Family in the USA?”
Ye Chen.
Recently, this name had been ringing like thunder in the ears of the European elite circles.
In fact.
The European Union had even specifically convened a seminar because of this one person!
“So it's him?”
Upon hearing this, Euphemia's eyes brightened even more. “Hunter, find a time to contact Ye Chen. I want to meet with him.”
Hunter was stunned on the spot after hearing this.
“Your Highness, what... what are you planning to do?”
Without even thinking, Euphemia made a shocking statement: “I like him. He is what a real man looks like.”
Huh?
The Princess actually likes a man from the Dragon Country?
The problem was...
That man from the Dragon Country was someone their nation's high-level officials were just recently discussing how to deal with...
Hunter was completely dumbfounded.
“You've only met him once!”
“So what?”
Euphemia retracted her gaze and glanced at him. “For some people, one meeting is enough.”
Hunter felt like his brain was short-circuiting.
He was the Consul General of the Eagle Country in Guang City; he had seen many big scenes and handled many thorny diplomatic incidents.
But the Princess falling in love at first sight with a young man from the Dragon Country...
He truly hadn't handled anything like this before.
“Your Highness, this is not according to the rules...”
“Rules?” Euphemia interrupted him. “Hunter, do you think I'm the kind of person who follows rules?”
Hunter: “...”
He fell silent.
Because Euphemia was right.
This Princess had never followed the rules since she was a child.
At fifteen, she set off firecrackers in her father's hair.
At eighteen, she rode a horse across the Sahara.
At twenty-two, she ran off to travel the Dragon Country incognito...
Which of those things would a rule-follower do?
Hunter took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
“Your Highness, even if you want to see him, you must first return home and consult with the Royal Family...”
“Consult?”
Euphemia tilted her head. “Hunter, I am informing you, not asking for your opinion.”
Hunter's face completely collapsed.
“I... I will do my best.”
Euphemia nodded with satisfaction. “By the way, find out what he likes.”
After saying that.
She turned and walked away coolly.
Hunter: “...”
No...
How did he, a Consul General, end up as a matchmaker?
...
Late at night, in a five-star hotel.
Ye Chen and Bing Lan walked into a suite.
Just as Bing Lan took off her high heels, she spoke up.
“That Euphemia seems to be interested in you.”
Ye Chen was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh. “Are you jealous?”
Bing Lan shook her head.
“No.”
“I just feel that my man is becoming more and more outstanding, and the pressure on me is too great.”
Looking at her serious expression, Ye Chen's heart turned completely soft.
The next second.
He suddenly swept Bing Lan up in a princess carry.
“Pressure is too great?”
“Then I'll help you release some of it.”
Bing Lan let out a soft cry and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her small face flushing red to the roots of her ears.
But without another word, Ye Chen carried her and strode toward the bedroom.
