In the CEO's office, smoke lingered in the air.
Su Qing looked at the young man sitting loosely on the sofa, frowning as she asked, "Are you really my brother's comrade-in-arms?"
"Of course, your brother and I are revolutionary comrades, with a deep bond!" Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, finding this girl even more attractive than in the photos!
Fair skin, delicate features, a pretty face, and... ample bosom, all catching his eye.
"Why hasn't my brother returned?"
"Half a month ago, you called your brother, saying you were in trouble and hoping he would come back to help you... After he received your call, he applied for a long leave from the army, but it wasn't approved because there's an important mission that requires his expertise as a king of soldiers!"
Su Qing's face changed slightly, asking with concern, "What mission? Is it dangerous?"
"It's a top-secret mission, I don't know the details."
"When will he be back?"
"He went abroad, it'll be at least half a year."
"Oh."
Xiao Chen took a deep drag of his cigarette. "Your brother asked me before he left, to come and help you with your trouble. So, spill it, what kind of trouble are you facing?"
Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen skeptically. "Are you also a special forces king?"
"No, I'm in charge of logistics."
"Logistics? What exactly do you do?"
"I raise pigs."
"What? Raise pigs?" Su Qing was a bit dumbfounded.
"Yes, let me tell you, I'm quite skilled at raising pigs in our platoon. I even received recognition for it. I..."
"Enough!" Su Qing couldn't listen anymore, interrupting Xiao Chen, "I don't think someone who raises pigs can help me with my troubles."
Xiao Chen chuckled. "Well, you haven't told me what trouble you're facing yet, how do you know I can't solve it?"
"What trouble? I can't tell you for now, but I can tell you one thing, I need someone to protect me and my sister's safety, and you, someone in logistics, don't have the capability to protect us!"
"Who says someone who raises pigs can't protect you? Let me tell you, there was even a legendary pig in our platoon, it was almost two meters tall and it jumped over the fence, several king of soldiers... including your brother, couldn't stop it, but I managed to catch it... So you see, my skills are not inferior to your brother's!"
Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen blabbering on, rubbing her temples. When did her big brother become unreliable and bring this guy in? Well, stick to the plan and hire some bodyguards!
"Mr. Xiao, I can handle my troubles myself, you better return to the army as soon as possible."
"I'm not going back."
"Why?"
"I've been discharged."
Su Qing was speechless, discharged from the army?
"What are your plans next?"
"Your brother and I are brothers, so his sister is like my sister. That's why I plan to stay in Longhai City for a while and help you with your troubles."
Su Qing got a headache. This guy wasn't here to solve her problems, he was here to create more!
To be honest, her impression of Xiao Chen wasn't good, and she had great doubts about his abilities. He couldn't even raise pigs properly, and she expected him to protect her and her sister?
She now doubted whether her big brother introduced him out of pity for his homeless state. Otherwise, why would she bring him in so casually? Should she just assign him some random job?
Before she could decide how to deal with Xiao Chen, the female assistant walked in. "Ms. Su, Ren Kun is here."
Su Qing frowned. "What is he here for? Don't let him in!"
"Hehe, why are you still avoiding me?" The office door was pushed open, and a young man, decked in brand-name clothes and holding roses, walked in.
"Ren Kun, who let you in?" Su Qing's face turned cold, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
"Xiao Qing, it's been a few days, you look even more charming." Ren Kun's gaze lingered on Su Qing's chest, raising the roses. "Do you like them? They're for you."
Su Qing didn't take them, her voice colder. "Why are you here?!"
"Hehe, I heard you wanted to hire a bodyguard, so I brought a skilled one for you." Ren Kun finished speaking, clapping his hands. "Come in!"
As Ren Kun's voice fell, a burly young man walked in, dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, looking quite intimidating.
"Xiao Qing, let me introduce you. This guy is amazing, he served in the Wolf's Tooth Special Brigade... Heard of Wolf's Tooth? It's the most badass special brigade on TV, one guy can take down a dozen opponents easily..." Ren Kun patted the burly young man's chest, introducing him.
"Wolf's Tooth? Heh, read too many novels, huh?" Before Ren Kun could finish, a mocking voice sounded from the side.
Ren Kun's face darkened as he turned to glare at Xiao Chen. "Who are you, kid?"
"I'm Miss Su's bodyguard."
"Bodyguard?" Ren Kun looked down at Xiao Chen disdainfully. "Just you?"
"Yes, just me."
"Damn, what kind of riffraff are they allowing to be bodyguards now?" Ren Kun sneered, "You've been discharged, get lost!"
Su Qing's expression changed, about to speak, when she saw Xiao Chen slowly stand up. "Tell me to get lost? And who are you?"
Ren Kun was dumbfounded for a moment, then he flew into a rage. "Ah Long, take him out!"
"Yes!"
The burly young man, seeing his boss give the order, strode forward, ready to act.
"Stop!"
Su Qing's voice was cold. "Ren Kun, this is my office, not your playground!"
"Xiao Qing, there are too many frauds nowadays, don't let yourself be fooled by riffraff! I'll have Ah Long test him, see if he's really capable of being your bodyguard!"
Su Qing glanced at Xiao Chen and remained silent. Truth be told, she also wanted to know if this guy had any skills.
Now, letting this so-called Wolf's Tooth special forces soldier be a litmus test might reveal something!
Seeing Su Qing didn't stop him, Ren Kun was delighted. As long as Ah Long showed his strength and incapacitated this idiot, he could stay by Su Qing's side... then, heh, let's see how she could escape his clutches!
With these thoughts, Ren Kun became thoroughly excited, waving his hand. "Ah Long, deal with him!"
The burly youth grinned fiercely and charged towards Xiao Chen, delivering a powerful punch.
"Wolf's Tooth, huh? I'll knock you down to dog's teeth!"
As the burly youth's fist was about to connect with Xiao Chen's face, he moved, lightning-fast, and threw a punch of his own.
Bang.
The two fists collided in mid-air, emitting a dull sound.
In the next moment, the burly youth screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily into Ren Kun.
"Ouch... you're crushing me to death!"
Ren Kun lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
The burly youth, clutching his broken wrist, gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet, fear evident in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen stepped forward slowly, placing a foot on Ren Kun's chest and leaning down. "You're Ren Kun, right? Now, tell me, do I have the ability to be Miss Su's bodyguard?"
"Ouch... you... you..."
Smack.
Xiao Chen slapped Ren Kun across the face. "Watch your mouth, clean it up a bit, stop saying 'damn' every other word. Just because your surname is Ren doesn't mean you can act recklessly, got it?"
The searing pain almost drove Ren Kun insane. The distinguished Ren young master, when had he ever been slapped in the face by someone?
"You... you know who I am?" Ren Kun dared not curse again, his voice trembling with anger.
"Heh, can you be a bit more original? It's been years, and you're still using the same lines? I don't care who you are or what your background is... I'm just asking you, do I have the ability to be Miss Su's bodyguard?"
Gritting his teeth, Ren Kun said, "Yes!"
A real man knows when to yield.
"Xiao Chen, let him go!"
Su Qing finally spoke up. Ren Kun had some background; she couldn't offend him too much.
Xiao Chen nodded, lifting his foot off Ren Kun. "Ren Kun, with me here, Miss Su's safety is assured! Now, take your Wolf's Tooth special forces and get out!"
As Ren Kun got up from the ground, glaring at Xiao Chen, a hint of malice flashed across his face. "Kid..."
"Get out!" Xiao Chen raised his fist, scaring Ren Kun into turning and running.
After Ren Kun left the office, threatening shouts came from outside: "Kid, you wait... I'll definitely kill you!"
"Lan, you can leave first," Su Qing said to her female assistant.
"Okay." The assistant nodded and glanced at Xiao Chen before leaving.
Once the office door closed, Su Qing sat down, staring at Xiao Chen. "You... really raise pigs?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Xiao Chen nodded. He wasn't lying, but the 'pigs' in his mouth weren't the usual kind.
Su Qing opened her mouth, wanting to ask, can pig farmers be so skilled?
But she didn't ask further. Just now, she figured out one thing: no matter if this guy was strong or weak, at least one thing was certain—he was trustworthy. Otherwise, why would her big brother bring him here?
Furthermore, her big brother, who cherished her and her sister, wouldn't have found a weakling to help solve their problems, right?
With that in mind, she made a decision.
