Chapter 108 She is the Wife I've Chosen for Myself

"It's nothing."

Shen Yuexin shook her head. After all, she was the president of Huamei Group and quickly regained her composure.

But her complexion was still somewhat pale.

For Shen Yuexin, despite her youth and being accustomed to all sorts of crises, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

The opponent truly intended to take her life!

Thinking of the harrowing scene just moments ago, Shen Yuexin immediately looked towards Ye Ling.

"The jade piece you gave me... what is it?"

"A Defense Talisman."

Ye Ling did not hide the truth; he could guess that in today's society, even if Shen Yuexin was formidable, it was impossible for her to be the president of Huamei Group at such a young age without some kind of power behind her.

It was clear, there was some force behind Shen Yuexin.

"I originally thought someone just wanted to kill you. I didn't expect them to directly use such heavy weaponry," Ye Ling said with a frown.

"They must all be no ordinary people."

After considering for a moment, Shen Yuexin said, "To be able to disable all those vehicles in such a short period and plant a bomb here, they're clearly experts. Moreover... they must still be around here, wanting to see if I'm really dead!"

"Haha, truly worthy of being the most talented young miss of the Shen Family, your thoughts are indeed meticulous."

Just then, a loud laugh suddenly came from a small grove nearby.

Shen Yuexin and Ye Ling immediately turned their heads, seeing several figures emerge from the grove.

The one who had laughed loudly was a middle-aged burly man at the lead.

This burly man had a frightening scar on his forehead. Even as he walked, the scar would twitch, blood-red and very noticeable.

"Protect the miss!"

Upon seeing them appear, Yuan Heng and his two companions immediately rushed over.

Ye Ling could clearly hear that Yuan Heng's address for Shen Yuexin had changed from 'President Shen' to 'Miss'.

This once again confirmed Ye Ling's speculation.

But other than Yuan Heng, the other two were seriously injured. Even walking was extremely difficult for them, let alone protect Shen Yuexin.

"Who are you?"

Shen Yuexin frowned at the middle-aged burly man and the others.

"Who does Miss Shen think we might be?"

Standing about 10 meters from Shen Yuexin, the middle-aged burly man said, "I'm afraid that after becoming the president of Huamei Group, you have offended countless people. So, momentarily, you can't guess our identity, right?"

"Despicable."

Shen Yuexin uttered two words indifferently and added, "The thing I despise most in life is settling grievances through such methods. If you really have the ability, do you dare to confront me openly?"

"Miss Shen, I have to admit you are a genius, but you are still naive and overly simplistic," the middle-aged burly man said with a cold laugh. "In today's world, what matters is the result. Who cares about the process? I'm afraid many people wish that you would simply die in your sleep, so why the heck talk about an open confrontation?"

"That's because they are incompetent," Shen Yuexin said.

Even in this critical juncture, she remained composed and indifferent.

Just from this alone, one could see the extraordinary shrewdness of Shen Yuexin's mindset.

"Hmph, whether you are competent or not is not for you to decide!"

The middle-aged burly man waved his hand and the four people behind him stepped forward immediately.

"What a pity, the young miss of the Shen Family, so beautiful and with the most business talent among many of the Shen successors, yet today she is to die here," he said, shaking his head and revealing a sinister smile.

"Still, to end the life of a talent like you by my own hand does feel like quite an achievement."

Shen Yuexin just stood there calmly, not speaking a word.

Everyone fears death, but Shen Yuexin's temperament is steady, so in the face of death, she appears far more composed than others.

"Kill her!"

The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold as he suddenly barked the order.

What he cared about most before was the three from the Huamei Group.

Rather than setting up that bomb trap to kill Shen Yuexin, it was more about taking out Yuan Heng and the other two first.

Now that Yuan Heng and his two companions were seriously injured and no longer had the capability to protect Shen Yuexin, they naturally had no reservations anymore.

"Swish, swish!"

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, two figures immediately charged towards Shen Yuexin.

Their speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, even special forces couldn't compare, completely surpassing the limits of human capabilities.

If these individuals were to be classified as assassins, then their level would be at least that of top-tier killers.

Looking at Shen Yuexin who was close at hand, one of the fierce-looking men revealed a grim smile on his face, his hand formed into a claw as he reached for Shen Yuexin's slender and fair neck.

Clearly, this person had no intention of showing mercy; his initial move was meant to kill Shen Yuexin on the spot!

Shen Yuexin stepped back, but she was just an ordinary person, and a woman at that; her speed was much too slow.

But just as the man was about to grab Shen Yuexin, a large hand, like a ghostly apparition, suddenly caught the man's wrist!

The man's movement halted, and his face immediately changed color!

Because the suddenly appearing hand was so fast that he hadn't seen it clearly, nor had he been able to respond!

"Boom!"

At the same time, a muffled sound suddenly emanated.

The man turned his head to see that the other figure rushing over seemed to have been struck by a violent blow, as blood spurted from his mouth, and he was sent flying backwards.

"Who are you?!"

At this moment, the man finally saw who had grabbed him.

It was Ye Ling!

Before, when Ye Ling stood next to Shen Yuexin, they hadn't paid him any attention.

Before they made their move, they had thoroughly investigated those protecting Shen Yuexin, and Ye Ling was not among them.

Ye Ling's presence was just a coincidence.

Moreover, what could a guy who drove a broken Chery car possibly be capable of?

They had even planned to kill Shen Yuexin and then dispose of Ye Ling as well, to destroy all evidence.

"Brother, a few grown men ganging up on a defenseless girl, isn't that a bit too much?"

Ye Ling did not let go of the man's wrist as he spoke coolly.

"Considering your speed and strength, you must be a skilled fighter, even though I don't know which force you belong to, you'd better stay out of this."

The middle-aged man was staring at Ye Ling from a short distance, speaking in a cold voice.

However, his tone was clearly tinged with a hint of caution.

In a contest between masters, it's easy to discern levels of skill.

From the strength Ye Ling had just demonstrated, the middle-aged man harbored a sense of wariness against Ye Ling.

"Had it been someone else, I might have let it be, but Shen Yuexin is my betrothed wife. How can I stand by when you dare to lay a hand on my wife?"

After Ye Ling finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
