Stay Away From My Daughter

"Let's go."

Seeing that they were almost done eating, and noticing that the ominous aura hovering above Susan's head was growing increasingly intense, Ye Feng decided to personally escort her home to prevent any unexpected accidents.

"Okay!" Susan stood up, ready to pay the bill.

To her surprise, their meal had been completely waived.

Ye Feng led Susan out of the Dragon Gate Building.

At that moment, Jin Luyi, the commander of the Yanjing Guards stationed outside, spotted Ye Feng from a distance.

Seeing him leaving with a pretty girl while chatting and laughing, Jin Luyi clenched his fists in extreme anger.

Recalling that his own mother was now lying deep underground, while the person responsible for the accident years ago had only served a five-year sentence before resuming his life, free and unburdened—!

"Hmph, this bastard is living quite comfortably!"

"Once I'm done with my current duties, I'll definitely drag you back in!"

Jin Luyi gritted his teeth, making a silent vow in his heart.

"Even if it's a fabricated charge, I'll throw you back in prison! That's where people like you belong!"

Along the way, the two chatted idly about everything and anything while taking a leisurely stroll.

However, as Ye Feng observed along the path, the dark qi above Susan's head not only failed to dissipate but instead grew denser and more concentrated.

It felt as though misfortune was about to strike at any moment.

This is not good... Ye Feng thought to himself. He had hoped that leaving the building and changing the environment might alter her fate.

Yet, unexpectedly, things were only getting worse!

"I'm almost home."

Soon, Susan pointed toward an intersection ahead. "Once we cross this street, we'll be right at my building."

「You don't need to walk me any further. I can get back on my own. You should head home quickly too."

"No," Ye Feng shook his head. "I must walk you all the way to your building."

Truth be told, had it not been too abrupt, Ye Feng really would have preferred to take her straight to his own place tonight.

That way, no matter what mishap occurred, he could neutralize it for her immediately.

"There's no need," Susan said politely. "You don't need to escort me. I'll be fine."

Yet Ye Feng remained steadfast.

Just then—Beep, beep!

The sound of an electric scooter came from behind.

"Shanshan, you're off work?"

A middle-aged woman riding a brand-new electric scooter slowly approached.

She sized up the unfamiliar man walking alongside her daughter.

"Mom!" Susan waved at the woman.

"Who is this?" Susan's mother asked curiously, thinking to herself that he was quite handsome. Could her daughter have met an ideal man on her very first day of work?

As expected, the quality of men in large corporations was indeed high.

"Mom, this is Ye Feng, my high school classmate." Susan said, turning to introduce Ye Feng. "This is my mom."

"Hello, Auntie," Ye Feng greeted politely.

"Ye Feng?" Upon hearing this, realizing the man wasn't a colleague from her daughter's company but rather the high school classmate who had served time in prison, Susan's mother's expression changed instantly. "You're that Ye Feng who spent five years in prison and was thrown out by his own family?"

"Hoh, I heard the moment you got out, you went right back to fighting and brawling? You even caused my daughter to run around pulling strings everywhere for you."

"People like you should stay far away from my daughter in the future!"

Hearing this, Susan hurriedly tried to stop her mother. "Mom! What are you saying?"

"I've told you a hundred times, my classmate was framed!"

Besides, I was able to get a job at the Su family's major corporation entirely thanks to Ye Feng's connections!"

"How can you say things like that the moment you meet him? That's too much!"

With that, Susan quickly apologized to Ye Feng: "I'm sorry, Ye Feng. My mother is just like that—blunt and outspoken. She doesn't mean any harm."

"Hmph!" Susan's mother let out a light scoff. "You keep saying it was thanks to his connections? Later on, your father and I talked it over. What could your job possibly have to do with him?"

"He's not a young master of the Ye family anymore. He can barely take care of himself, let alone help you find a job!"

"You were able to enter a big company because of your own excellence and talent."

Realizing she couldn't reason with her mother at the moment, and fearing her mother might utter even more outrageous remarks, Susan quickly pulled her mother away.

"Ye Feng, we're heading off first. You should hurry back too," Susan waved goodbye to Ye Feng.

"You brat, stay away from my daughter from now on!" Susan's mother didn't forget to hurl a parting remark as she left.

"Mom, can you please say less!"

The mother and daughter bickered back and forth, neither able to convince the other.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of their residential compound—

Suddenly, two men in black rushed out from a parked van by the roadside.

Without a word of explanation, they grabbed an unsuspecting Susan and dragged her into the vehicle.

The van doors slammed shut heavily, and it sped away into the distance.

"Oh no!" Susan's mother was utterly terrified.

After standing frozen in place for a few seconds, she suddenly began to scream and cry for help at the top of her lungs.

"Help! Someone help! They're kidnapping people!"

"Someone just snatched my daughter!"

"Ah—!"

Susan's mother quickly hopped back onto her electric scooter and gave chase in the direction the van had fled.

Yet how could a two-wheeled electric scooter possibly catch up to a four-wheeled automobile?

Chasing all the way back to the intersection where she had just parted ways with Ye Feng, she saw that Ye Feng was still standing there.

As if she had just found a savior, Susan's mother shouted frantically, "Ye Feng! Quick—hurry! My daughter—she's been abducted by that black van!"

"Hurry up and go after them!"

At that moment, Ye Feng's expression grew increasingly dark and filled with a murderous intent.

He had finally waited for this crisis to befall Susan.

Fortunately, he hadn't left just yet.

Furthermore, at the exact instant the van had zoomed past moments ago, Ye Feng had caught a glimpse of a familiar face through the fleeting reflection of the car window.

"Young Master Xie!?"

Held captive inside the van, Susan was struck with both terror and panic.

However, after quickly steadying her nerves, amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces, she spotted one that she knew all too well.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Susan asked fearfully.

"What am I trying to do?!"

Young Master Xie gritted his teeth, turning around with a vicious glare. "You caused me to lose my job, and my old man was suspended too! Everything was ruined because of you! And you're asking me what I'm trying to do?!"

"Today, I'm going to make you pay the price!"
