Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Permitting Resignation Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Permitting Resignation The atmosphere in the office was eerily silent to the point of abnormality, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Mr. Ye, the power’s out. Can we leave work now…” Tang Yu was saying.

Ye Sihan, who was hunched over his desk, lifted his head, and his profound features appeared ghostly, especially those black eyes with red veins, so sinister they seemed to devour anyone they looked at—
“Ah!” Tang Yu got startled, and her phone clattered to the floor, the light vanishing.

Apart from the faint white glow of the computer on the desk, everything else was enveloped in darkness.

And the beast lurking in the darkness swiftly attacked—
“Ah!” Tang Yu’s neck was grabbed, and she was pressed against the desk.

The computer and the coffee cup on the desk both crashed to the floor.

The sound of the cup shattering.

Now, even the light from the computer was gone, leaving only the weak light seeping in from the nighttime scenery outside.

“Who let you in? Huh?” Ye Sihan’s face was fierce and twisted, horrifying to behold.

“It wasn’t—ah…” Tang Yu, her neck being choked, found breathing difficult, let alone speaking, her head congested to the point of bursting.

Struggling was futile, for Ye Sihan’s strength was too great. His hand was like iron tongs, and it seemed her neck would be twisted off with just a bit more force.

“Looking for death!” Ye Sihan’s other hand grasped the cloth at Tang Yu’s shoulder, and with one forceful pull, it ripped apart—
The white skin was now bare, gleaming with a pale luster.

Ye Sihan bent down, his teeth clamped onto her shoulder—
“Ah!” Tang Yu whimpered in pain, feeling blood already flowing from the spot. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and in sheer terror, her foot struck hard against Ye Sihan’s leg.

Instead of letting go, Ye Sihan flung her away, and she crashed onto the floor—
“Ah!!” Tang Yu’s back slammed into the floor, shards from the broken coffee cup piercing right into her back, the searing pain making her scream, her back arching.

At that moment, the lights on one floor lit up one after another, illuminating the office brightly.

The door to the office was pushed open, “Mr. Ye…” Xiao Yu’s voice caught in his throat, stunned by the scene in front of him.

The area beside the desk was a mess of broken debris, Tang Yu lying on the ground, with an expression of agony and a pale face. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and her shoulder was bitten and bleeding.

Standing aside, Mr. Ye, caught off guard by the suddenly bright lights, had not yet managed to conceal his cold and violent look, his bloodshot black eyes fixed on Tang Yu lying on the ground in immense pain.

“Mr. Ye…” Xiao Yu hurried over.

It took a moment for Ye Sihan to speak, his voice hoarse, “Prepare the car, to the hospital.”

Xiao Yu immediately turned around to call the driver, instructing him to bring the car to the main entrance.

Turning back, he saw Ye Sihan helping Tang Yu stand, while several shards of glass were embedded in her back, a bloody stain spreading over her white shirt, a shocking sight.

Covering her upper body with his suit jacket, Ye Sihan carried her out of the office.

At the hospital emergency room, Tang Yu lay prone on the bed. Her shirt was cut open by the doctor, revealing her pristine white skin embedded with shards of various sizes.

Tang Yu sweat cold beads on her forehead from the pain, her body shaking continuously.

Only after the doctor administered the anesthesia did the pain ease, and they began to remove the shards of glass from her flesh, one by one with tweezers, placing them on a stainless steel tray beside.

After the procedure, the doctor left.

Tang Yu lay her head on the pillow, tiny beads of sweat still dotting her forehead.

Unable to turn her head to look at the foot of the bed, or perhaps… too afraid to look.

The experience in the office had left her still unsettled, like a nightmare she couldn’t believe had happened.

The shadow looming in front of her caused her body to flinch subconsciously, her breath shaky with fear.

“I will compensate you,” Ye Sihan’s voice was low and harsh.

“…I want to resign,” Tang Yu said, no longer caring about compensation, longing to leave instead.

Ye Sihan stared at her for a moment, his lips barely parting, “After you’re discharged,” he said, then turned and left.

Tang Yu received his consent, not sure whether to consider it a blessing in disguise.

Ye Sihan had only mentioned compensation and nothing else.

In the darkness, he was terrifying beyond measure.

If the lights had come on even a moment later, would she have even had her life left?

What happened to Ye Sihan?

Soon, Tang Yu fell asleep, exhausted in both body and mind.

However, once the anesthesia wore off, a dense array of sharp pains emerged, making it an extremely hard night with little sleep.

It wasn’t until the morning that she truly managed to fall asleep.

By the time she woke up, it was nearly noon; in the meanwhile, the doctor had come to change her dressings once.

At least she could now lie on her side. After being face down all night, her D-cup chest was incredibly uncomfortable.

After the dressing change, the doctor left, and there was a knock at the door.

In came Xiao Yu, “How are you feeling? Does it still hurt a lot?”

“It’s much better than last night,” Tang Yu said.

Xiao Yu placed the thermos he brought on the table, “I’ve brought you some food. The doctor says you can be discharged tomorrow.”

Tang Yu said, “Mr. Ye has already agreed to my resignation.”

“Mm, Mr. Ye told me,” Xiao Yu moved a stool and sat down. “It was an accident, I hope you won’t take it to heart, the company will compensate you.”

Tang Yu couldn’t hold back. She didn’t dare to ask Ye Sihan, but she could ask Xiao Yu, “What’s wrong with Mr. Ye? Last night he seemed like a completely different person.”

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment before saying, “Mr. Ye loses control of his emotions during thunderstorms. Beyond that, I do not know anything.”

Tang Yu frowned unexpectedly.

Understood.

It indeed was a stormy night, and she, unknowingly, happened to visit Ye Sihan’s office…

Thinking back, she was still trembling with fear.

Could it be that Ye Sihan had some unknown, hidden issues?

He, so high and mighty, with overwhelming power and ruthlessness, could he also…?

“Do you really have to leave?” Xiao Yu seemed to want to retain her, “You can make your demands for salary and benefits. You know that in all of Kyoto, there is no better treatment than at KING Corporation.”

If it were not for the fact that she had a child, Tang Yu might have considered it.

She declined, “Thank you for the kind offer, Assistant Xiao, but my heart is not in it.”

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, “Alright then.”

The phone in the handbag on the bedside table rang, and Tang Yu reached out for it, struggling a bit.

Xiao Yu helped her take it.

“Thank you.”

“Call me if you need anything,” Xiao Yu left.

Tang Yu took out her phone. It was an unsaved number, but she remembered whose it was, Lin Shuhuan’s.

She answered the call with a bit of guilt, “Hello…”

“You didn’t board the plane.”

“Something came up at the last minute.”

A cold snicker came from Lin Shuhuan, “What last-minute issue. I knew you wouldn’t leave. Tang Yu, mark my words, as long as I live, I will never let you harm my son and Ye Sihan. Otherwise, I’ll drag you down to Hell with me!”

The call ended before Tang Yu had the chance to speak.

In truth, she was at a loss, not knowing what to say.

Even mentioning going to Hell, that’s a bit too much, isn’t it?

A nurse came to feed her, and when she was alone in the hospital room, she called Li Xue, simply mentioning that she had worked late and slept at the office, planning to return home in the evening.

Before she could elaborate, Li Xue insisted on picking up the child.

Tang Yu smiled and still said thank you.

She didn’t mention the injury, no need to worry others.

Li Xue would surely come to the hospital if she knew, better not to trouble her.

In her heart, she was resolved to be discharged around six in the evening.

Fortunately, the wounds on her back were only minor and didn’t require stitches, so she should recover quickly and probably wouldn’t have much trouble moving around by evening.
