The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 117 A Broken Life

Seeing her distressed expression, Lu Fei wanted to say something caring to her.

But he swallowed the words, looking at her calm expression, and said in a low voice, "Ye Xingran, perhaps this is your fate."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingran's body trembled slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"My life? Should my life be at the mercy of your Lu family?"

She raised her head, her eyes filled with stubborn tears.

Lu Fei's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning. He involuntarily avoided her burning yet sorrowful gaze, unable to meet her eyes.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if he were trying to suppress the surging emotions within him.

In reality, he really didn't want to treat her in such a cold and heartless way. Every time he saw her hurt eyes and lonely figure, his heart ached as if it were being gnawed by a million ants.

However, reality is so cruel that he is now in no position to protect her from harm.

Therefore, only after he has completely taken over Yunmeng will he have enough power and resources to protect her under his wing.

At this moment, he gazed at the pitiful Ye Xingran before him and secretly vowed to achieve this goal as soon as possible.

His fingers unconsciously clenched into a fist again, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force. Time was of the essence, allowing no room for delay; he knew he had to expedite his meticulously planned scheme.

Only in this way could he be qualified to stand beside her and openly protect the woman who stirred his heart and haunted his dreams.

"You know, if I could, I..."

Lu Fei's voice was low and slightly trembling, filled with endless helplessness and pain.

Hesitant to speak.

"That's enough, no more!" Ye Xingran suddenly interrupted him.

She took a deep breath, as if she were using all her strength to speak.

He said, “I know that Master Fei is also in a very difficult situation now, but no matter what, I am very grateful to you. Back then, if it weren’t for your great mercy in picking me up from the roadside and bringing me back to Yunmeng, I would probably be wandering around somewhere now, or even be dead. So, although this way of life seems to be the only option, it was a lifeline for me when I was desperate.”

After saying that, she didn't look at him again, resolutely turned around, and said softly with her back to him, "Master Fei, it's getting late. Please go back. I need to rest too."

She said, "Wait a minute."

Lu Fei was still standing in that spot.

Her voice continued, "I have successfully infiltrated the Fu Group. I believe it won't be long before I can obtain what you, Mr. Fei, have been longing for."

After a moment of silence, a response finally came: "Okay, I understand."

Lu Fei left, leaving her alone in the room.

Memories flooded my mind—

Back then, it was truly a miserable time! She was all alone, utterly destitute, and helplessly curled up by the roadside.

Before her, the traffic was heavy, with vehicles flowing endlessly on the road, like a never-ending torrent of steel; and pedestrians were also coming and going, but the gazes they cast at her were full of strangeness and disdain.

At that time, her clothes were already tattered and ragged, making her look exactly like a pitiful little beggar.

Moreover, due to not eating for a long time, she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back, and she was so weak that she could hardly support her body.

She could only crouch down and lean against the dirty trash can, her eyes filled with longing for food.

She wished that a steaming hot meal would appear in front of her right now, even just a small piece of bread would be enough...

However, reality was so cruel that this simple wish was simply a luxury for her at the time.

Just when she felt she was about to be swallowed by endless darkness and was on the verge of falling into an abyss of despair,

Suddenly, a figure appeared in her blurry and helpless vision, like the first rays of dawn.

The moment he approached Xiaoxing, his cool yet handsome face came into view—his high nose, deep eyes, and tightly pursed thin lips exuded an irresistible charm.

He bent down slightly and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Would you like to come with me? From now on, I promise I will never let you go hungry again."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingran looked up as if she had grasped at the last straw.

At this moment, he was gazing quietly at Xiao Xingran, his eyes revealing a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Looking at the unfamiliar man before her, Xiao Xingran felt a ripple in her heart.

She hesitated for a moment, various thoughts flashing through her mind, but hunger and exhaustion ultimately overcame her fear. Finally, she gently reached out her trembling little hand and tightly grasped Lu Fei's warm, outstretched hand.

And so, Lu Fei took Xiao Xingran away from the place that had caused her so much suffering.

Along the way, they passed through bustling crowds and walked through busy streets, finally arriving at a place called Yunmeng.

Here, she was overjoyed, thinking that she had finally escaped those bitter days of hunger and uncertainty.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. What awaited her was not light and hope, but another endless journey of darkness...

Yunmeng is a mysterious and terrifying organization that makes a living by training assassins and acquiring classified intelligence.

This organization specifically targets orphaned children, using sweet talk and false promises to lure them into this hellish world.

Once inside, these poor children are forced to swallow deadly poison, losing their freedom and beginning to undergo inhumane and grueling training.

In this cruel environment, only the strong can survive.

If one is unfortunate enough to become weak, what awaits him is a merciless bullet, which will end his life instantly, and his body will be carelessly discarded in the wilderness like garbage, left to rot and stink. On the contrary, if one can demonstrate great strength, he will have the opportunity to leave this cage and carry out extremely dangerous missions.

Each completed mission meant getting closer to the antidote and temporarily prolonging one's fragile life.

Ye Xingran also harbored some feelings for Lu Fei.

Because he was the one who saved her from nearly starving to death, and he gave her a second chance.

Ye Xingran slowly squatted down against the wall, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her experiences in Yunmeng over the years haunted her like a nightmare, and as for Lu Fei, she didn't know whether she loved or hated him.

Meanwhile, Lu Fei returned to his residence, feeling troubled. He knew that Ye Xing would face numerous dangers within the Fu Group in the future, and he would send his trusted confidants to secretly investigate her.

He sat on the sofa.

Lu Fei picked up the cigarette pack on the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few deep drags, and his eyes became hazy.

Amidst the swirling smoke, he recalled Ye Xingran's stubborn yet sorrowful face.

He knew that the only thing he could do now was to make arrangements as quickly as possible to ensure her safety within the Fu Group.

Meanwhile, after calming herself down in her room, Ye Xingran began to organize information about the senior management of the Fu Group.

She knew this was a tough battle, and she couldn't afford to lose.

Although her feelings for Lu Fei were complicated, she wanted to take control of her own destiny.

Now, more importantly, she wants freedom.

Ye Xingran carefully analyzed the information in her hand. The relationships among the top executives of the Fu Group were intricate and complex, like a giant spider web. She wrote down the people the Fu Group had contacted on the small blackboard, looking at their photos.

She knew she had to be very careful, because if even the slightest mistake was made, all her efforts would be in vain.

She first targeted Mo Tiancheng, the second-in-command of the Fu Group. He was greedy and lustful, and easy to get through to. Perhaps she could get some useful information from him.

Ye Xingran was secretly delighted, knowing that she had successfully attracted Mo Tiancheng's attention.

After careful consideration, she decisively decided to cleverly take advantage of the opportunity and turn the tables on the enemy.

So, she carefully dressed herself up to appear shrewd and capable, and brought a bribe that seemed to be quite valuable to Mo Tiancheng.

When Ye Xingran appeared before Mo Tiancheng, his gaze was instantly drawn to her.

Ye Xingran was dressed in an elegant and appropriate business suit, her makeup was exquisite yet sophisticated, and she exuded a unique charm.

She smiled and walked towards Mo Tiancheng, gently handing him the bribe, and whispered, "Mr. Mo, this is just a small token of our cooperation. If you are satisfied, there will be more unexpected benefits later."

Upon hearing this, a greedy glint flashed in Mo Tiancheng's eyes. He looked Ye Xingran up and down, and especially after seeing her stunningly beautiful face and graceful figure, a surge of desire welled up in his heart.

He smiled slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, and said, "Miss, you look unfamiliar. You must be new here, right?"

Ye Xingran smiled sweetly and replied softly, "Mr. Mo, hello! I am Ye Xingran, the newly recruited secretary of the Fu Group. I am new here, so please take good care of me in the future."

As she spoke, she cast a captivating glance at Mo Tiancheng.

Mo Tiancheng accepted the bribe, then grabbed Ye Xingran's hand and said lecherously, "Little beauty, as long as you're obedient, you'll get plenty of benefits."

Although Ye Xingran felt disgusted, she still wore a smile on her face.

Just then, the office door was suddenly kicked open, and Lu Fei strode in with a dark expression.

Mo Tiancheng was startled and quickly let go.

Lu Fei said coldly, "Mr. Mo, this is my man. You'd better not try anything funny."

Mo Tiancheng smiled awkwardly: "So you're one of President Lu's men. It's a misunderstanding."

Lu Fei pulled Ye Xingran away, and once they were in a secluded spot, he said angrily, "Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Ye Xingran shook off his hand: "I have my own way of doing things, it's none of your business."

Looking at her stubborn expression, Lu Fei sighed helplessly, "I'm just worried about you."

Ye Xingran's heart softened, but she quickly hardened her heart again: "Don't worry, I will get what you want."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As Lu Fei watched her departing figure, he secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he must not let her get hurt.

At the gathering, Ye Xingran skillfully maneuvered, gathering useful information while avoiding revealing her true intentions.

Meanwhile, Lu Fei's confidants also secretly infiltrated the gathering, keeping a close eye on Ye Xingran's movements.

Ye Xingran felt the time was right and decided to deliberately leak some false information about the core project of the Fu Group to Mo Tiancheng.
