Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1505 - 1479: Distress Signal
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Ye Chen knew that the other party had switched the door numbers.
He knocked on the door of room 601, and an impatient voice came from behind the door.
"Leave the stuff at the door, I’ll throw the money out for you."
Ye Chen hurriedly refused, "That won’t do. What if you take the stuff and don’t pay?"
He knew he had to get the man to open the door so he could see what was happening inside.
"What do you want then?" the man asked with a displeased voice.
"You open the door, we can exchange the money for the goods," Ye Chen said calmly.
The man heard this, frowned, and ignored Ye Chen.
He didn’t expect to encounter such a persistent delivery guy.
Ye Chen did not give up and continued to knock on the door.
Hearing the continuous knocking, the man’s expression became somewhat irritated.
He knew that if Ye Chen continued knocking like this, it would definitely attract others, which would be very unfavorable for him.
The man angrily opened the door and shouted.
"What’s with all the knocking? I told you to leave the stuff at the door, and you still..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen had already blocked the door with his foot.
Even if the man wanted to close the door now, it was impossible.
The man didn’t expect Ye Chen to do this, and he regretted it a bit.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Seeing the tall man in front of him, with a cold stare, the man was also somewhat afraid.
Ye Chen ignored the man and directly pushed him aside and walked in.
Holding laundry detergent and the delivery, he said.
"I need to give this to your wife."
As Ye Chen spoke, he glanced around the room.
He found the room in a mess, as if it had been ransacked.
Moreover, the man in front of him was wearing leather shoes and hadn’t changed shoes at all.
There was also a small dog jumping around in the room, obviously frightened.
And the man kept covering his nose, sneezing continuously, looking very uncomfortable.
Ye Chen knew that he was likely allergic to dog hair.
After observing, Ye Chen frowned, realizing it was as he thought, this was definitely not the man’s home.
It seemed that Miss Liu was indeed in danger.
At this moment, a disheveled woman walked out of the room. Although she was in loungewear, she was evidently quite attractive.
"Hello, is this my delivery?" the woman asked in a panic.
As she spoke, she hurriedly walked towards Ye Chen.
The man saw this and quickly glared at the woman and said, "Why are you coming out? Get back in."
The woman was scared and shrank her neck, quickly retreating a few steps.
"Hello, Miss Liu, this is your delivery and the laundry detergent you asked me to buy," Ye Chen stated.
The woman looked puzzled and walked towards Ye Chen again.
How could the man allow the woman to approach Ye Chen? He quickly blocked her path and said with a smile.
"Honey, I was just teasing you by saying I wouldn’t cook. There’s no need to order delivery. This stuff is so unhealthy."
Ye Chen could tell from the man’s expression that it was all an act.
Outwardly affectionate, but it was actually intimidating.
The woman was too scared to speak, looking at Ye Chen pitifully.
Ye Chen glanced at the man in front of him. Although he had a smile on his face, the hand holding the woman was clearly using force.
Even hurting her.
From this, it was clear that the affection was fake and the intimidation real.
The woman looked puzzled at the laundry detergent in Ye Chen’s hand. She hadn’t asked him to bring any laundry detergent.
At this moment, she seemed to understand Ye Chen’s intention.
Ye Chen was actually using this to test the woman’s reaction.
If she were safe, she would definitely deny it and let him take the stuff away.
But if she were in danger, she would react differently or give him some signal.
As Ye Chen expected, the woman looked tense, nervous, and said, "Courier, this isn’t the brand of laundry detergent I ordered. Did you make a mistake? My order number is 9349426, please double-check, thanks."
The man, hearing their conversation, looked somewhat grim.
Ye Chen, after hearing the number the woman mentioned, quickly realized it was a distress signal.
Because when he pressed the numbers the woman mentioned on the nine-grid phone keypad, it showed "danger."
The information the woman wanted to convey was that she was in danger.
Understanding this, Ye Chen looked at the man.
When the man met Ye Chen’s gaze, he looked noticeably uneasy.
His eyes were fierce, and he seemed prepared.
Even considering solving the problem by disposing of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen knew that the woman was still under the man’s control, and her life was in danger.
He couldn’t act rashly.
"I’m sorry, I checked and indeed made a mistake. How about this, I’ll go buy another bottle for you now," Ye Chen said.
He glanced at the man and the woman, then frowned and left.
The man, seeing Ye Chen turning to leave, visibly relaxed, the fierceness in his eyes subsiding considerably.
He was no longer as tense as before.
"I apologize, I’ll be back in ten minutes and won’t delay too long."
As he walked out, he saw the woman’s pleading gaze.
Ye Chen closed the door and took out his phone.
He knew that within these ten minutes, the woman inside would be safe and the man couldn’t flee in such a short time.
Based on Ye Chen’s observations, he felt the man was intent on robbery and wouldn’t harm the woman’s life.
Such people tend not to kill if they’re not provoked.
Usually, they take the money and leave.
They don’t want to carry a murder charge, as robbery and murder are handled very differently by the police.
Although Ye Chen believed he had controlled the situation with the man, it was still necessary to call the police.
Instead of dialing 110 directly, he called another number.
Ye Chen thought this was safer and faster.
The longer it took, the more danger the woman was in.
Ye Chen dialed the number, and once connected, the first question was.
"How come you have time to think of me and call me today?"
Zhou Susu was surprised to receive a call from Ye Chen.
Knowing that Ye Chen hadn’t contacted her for a long time, and suddenly calling now puzzled Zhou Susu.
Normally, Ye Chen would joke with Zhou Susu for a bit.
But today was different; this was a matter of life and death.
He began, "I went to the neighborhood to deliver food and found that a criminal had entered a home, endangering a woman’s life."
