Chapter 3

The leisurely 9-to-5 work schedule is only for those salaried workers who stubbornly stick to full attendance every month! How could someone like Chen Shuyuan, the head of a major group, not work overtime until late at night? Especially recently, Huaxin Group, which started in real estate, has faced its most 'difficult' period in history. After the government implemented a series of policies to stabilize housing prices, it directly affected the pre-sales of multiple ongoing projects by Huaxin. The continuous decline in sales has put Huaxin, which relies on this as its economic mainstay, at a critical stage of industrial transformation!

Stretching her shoulders, which had gone numb from maintaining the same posture for a long time, Chen Shuyuan slowly turned her head and looked out the window at the brightly lit sky. She gently touched the corners of her eyes, slowly got up, and casually took her small bag from the drawer. With a slightly weary gait, she walked out of the office!

Xiao Sheng, who had already changed into a different outfit, was sitting at a table not far from Dai Muxue, flipping through the economics books he had shamelessly borrowed from her. This habit, cultivated under the long-term urging of his father, had never been abandoned, even in the military! As the personal security guard 'specially dispatched' by Mr. Chen, Xiao Sheng's status was different from others. He was on par with Chen Shuyuan's assistant, Dai Muxue, and was directly assigned a seat in front of the chairman's office!

After a brief interaction, Xiao Sheng, who had come to understand the temperament of the boss he was to protect in the coming period, did not dare to overstep his bounds! After being 'kicked out' of Chen Shuyuan's room, he followed Dai Muxue to get a set of work clothes and a work ID. For the rest of the time, he was engrossed in reading the books in his hands! Several times, Dai Muxue, who was free from work, would inadvertently glance at Xiao Sheng, who was 'pretending' to read. However, as time passed, he really did manage to read, which slightly improved Dai Muxue's impression of him.

The office door opened, and Xiao Sheng, who had been reading a book with his head down, slowly raised his head. Seeing Chen Shuyuan dressed to leave, Xiao Sheng put down his book neatly and followed Dai Muxue, walking closely behind Chen Shuyuan!

After putting down the book, Xiao Sheng resumed his usual 'playboy' demeanor. On the way, Xiao Sheng occasionally used his eyes to 'tease' Dai Muxue, who walked beside him, causing her to often respond with a 'unsatisfied' and resentful look. In the coming period, being able to complete the extremely boring protection task with such two beautiful women made Xiao Sheng feel quite content!

The top executives of Huaxin Group had their own dedicated elevators. The three of them did not spend much time on the elevator ride from the top floor to the underground parking lot! Chen Shuyuan's car was a black imported Mercedes S600. Xiao Sheng, who had always been fond of German cars, was instantly delighted when he saw this grand black 'giant'.

Dai Muxue, walking alongside him, glanced at Xiao Sheng with a hint of disdain. Country bumpkin is a country bumpkin! He has never seen anything grand! Walking to the car, Dai Muxue took a few quick steps forward and personally opened the car door for Chen Shuyuan. After the door was closed, she raised her head slightly and asked coldly:

"Can you drive?" Xiao Sheng, who was bending down to examine the car, was startled by Dai Muxue's words and replied in surprise:

"Ah? You mean me? Yes, I can even fly planes!" Xiao Sheng was not exaggerating. As a versatile elite soldier, he could skillfully operate various machines! Dai Muxue 'hmm'ed coldly, muttering under her breath:

"Can even fly planes..." Her voice was harsh, filled with sarcasm! Xiao Sheng, who was about to open the car door, stopped his action upon hearing this. Before the other person got into the passenger seat, he added:

"Really, I can not only fly planes but also play with them. I can show you sometime..." Dai Muxue, who was standing there, suddenly realized the true 'meaning' of his words, her face turning red with anger. If Chen Shuyuan were not in the car, she would have slapped him.

The car drove steadily on the roads of the city, the cabin slightly quiet. Chen Shuyuan, who never brought work home, would use this time to review the day's work! Hong Qiquan, who was originally driving, had been knocked out by Xiao Sheng that morning. Knowing his master's habits, he and Dai Muxue would remain silent at this time! However, Xiao Sheng, using the pretext of asking for directions, kept talking to Dai Muxue, disrupting Chen Shuyuan's thoughts. She frowned and glared at him several times. Xiao Sheng, seeing this through the rearview mirror, would shamelessly give her a hearty smile!

Chen Shuyuan's residence was not in the city center but at the foot of Yuntai Mountain in Jiangsu Province, a place with mountains and water! This high-end villa complex, built in harmony with the natural landscape, was also a masterpiece of Huaxin!

The winding mountain roads were the best test of a driver's skills. After entering this area, Xiao Sheng did not show any signs of panic and continued to drive steadily! The streetlights on both sides of the road illuminated the entire mountain, making the vast and quiet mountain seem even more silent.

However, at this moment, the heavy sound of the engine disrupted the silence of the mountain. Xiao Sheng, who had been relaxed, frowned. As the engine sound grew louder, Xiao Sheng's peripheral vision began to glance at the side mirror from time to time!

Dai Muxue, sitting in the car, looked at the side mirror with a slightly tense expression. About a minute later, a bright red Ferrari sports car entered their field of vision, driving very fast. Even as it was about to rear-end the Mercedes, the driver showed no intention of stopping!

Gripping the steering wheel with one hand, Xiao Sheng suddenly stepped on the gas, a faint smile on his face! The Mercedes, which had been driving steadily, shot forward like a bullet, instantly pulling away from the Ferrari! The difficulty of the mountain road was not due to its unevenness but its twists and turns, making it hard to accelerate! However, under Xiao Sheng's driving, the black giant did not slow down even when turning, and he only lightly tapped the brakes while heavily pressing the gas!

The screeching sound of the tires rubbing against the ground echoed throughout the mountain. The two women in the car were already pale with fear, and Dai Muxue, gripping the armrests tightly, shouted nervously:

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing much, the two cars behind are trying to tail us. Without knowing their identities, I can only shake them off. Once my employer is safe, I will investigate," Xiao Sheng said with utmost seriousness. He was always meticulous when it came to his job!

"Stop, the driver is President Chen's niece," Dai Muxue said. Xiao Sheng was momentarily stunned, then quickly turned the car around and slammed on the brakes. The car, which had been speeding, made a full circle and came to a stop.

However, the driver of the Ferrari following closely behind did not have this skill. Determined not to lose, the driver accelerated. Just as he turned the corner, he saw the black Mercedes parked head-on. The girl in the car screamed. No matter how hard she pressed the gas, a car traveling at high speed could not stop instantly. The road was a one-way street, and the Mercedes was blocking the middle. The red Ferrari and the black Mercedes were about to collide! Even the usually quiet Dai Muxue could not help but scream.
