Chapter 5

"Old Su, I have already seen your sister... Rest assured, I will protect her. No one can harm her unless I die!"

Xiao Chen stroked the gray, bone-carved ring, his tone low and resolute.

This bone ring had been with him since childhood, and according to the old fortune-teller, it held a great secret.

Half a month ago, following the old fortune-teller's guidance, he went to Naga to try to unravel the secret of the bone ring.

At that time, the one who accompanied him was Su Qing's brother, Su Yunfei!

In the end, Su Yunfei died saving him. Before he died, he mentioned that his sister had called, asking him to come and help resolve some trouble.

Therefore, after returning from Naga, he didn't wait for his injuries to fully heal before coming to Longhai City, fearing that Su Qing and her sister might be in danger if he arrived too late.

However, it seemed that the situation wasn't as dire as he had feared!

"Old Su, once I help your sister resolve her troubles, I will return to Naga to search for clues... Blood debts must be repaid in blood, no matter who they are or what forces they belong to, I will make them pay!"

Xiao Chen exuded a cold, murderous aura, his eyes filled with a fierce, icy light!

The phone rang, and he reined in his aura to answer it.

"Brother Chen, how's it going on your end?"

"Everything is fine."

"Oh, where are you staying? Coming to my place?"

"I'm staying with Su Qing." Xiao Chen lit a cigarette, "Little Knife, how's the thing I asked you to do coming along?"

"Three places have been selected, just waiting for Brother Chen to decide."

"Alright, I'll go check them out when I have time tomorrow."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Xiao Chen took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, then got up and walked into the bathroom.

The night passed without incident, and the next morning, Xiao Chen got up around six. After washing up, he quietly left the villa and took a large circle around the area!

This was his personal habit. Whenever he arrived in a new environment, he always made sure to understand it thoroughly so that he could react quickly in case of any emergencies!

When he returned to the villa, Su Qing was already up, making breakfast in the kitchen.

Hearing the door open, Su Qing poked her head out and, seeing Xiao Chen, smiled and said, "Did you go for a morning run?"

"Yeah, just took a walk around."

"Wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Hehe, do you need any help?"

"No, I can manage on my own."

As they were talking, Su Xiaomeng came down from upstairs. Seeing Xiao Chen, she couldn't help but grind her teeth!

Last night, she had used two major moves, but not only did she fail to take down Xiao Chen, she was even touched on the bottom, which kept her awake all night!

She couldn't figure out why the camera didn't record anything. Could it be that Xiao Chen had tampered with it? But how did he do it?

Especially when she thought about what he said before leaving, it made her even more furious. He was really too despicable!

Xiao Chen ignored Su Xiaomeng's angry expression and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Xiaomeng!"

"My sister, good morning to you!"

"Uh, I don't have a sister."

"Xiao Chen, tell me honestly, did you tamper with the camera?!" Su Xiaomeng glared at Xiao Chen, lowering her voice.

Xiao Chen inwardly laughed but feigned confusion, "Camera? What camera?"

"The camera in my room!"

Xiao Chen pretended to be shocked, "Ah? Xiaomeng, you have a camera in your room? Do you often take selfies? That's not good, it's not safe. Have you forgotten about the sex scandals a few years ago?"

"Get lost, you're the one taking selfies, and your whole family is taking selfies!"

Su Xiaomeng clenched her fists. If she could beat him, she would have already punched him in the face!

"What are you two talking about?" Su Qing came out of the kitchen, handing her sister a cup of honey water.

"Hehe, we're talking about photography," Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Xiao Chen, do you like photography too? Xiaomeng is quite fond of it, you two can exchange ideas..."

"Spit..."

Su Xiaomeng had just taken a sip of honey water and, hearing this, spat it all out!

Exchange ideas? What kind of ideas? How to take scandalous photos?

"Xiaomeng, what's wrong?" Su Qing, seeing her sister's reaction, asked in confusion.

"Cough, cough, nothing, I just choked." Su Xiaomeng tried to cover up.

"Drink slowly, you're a grown-up... You two continue talking, I'll go fry the eggs."

Xiao Chen tried to hold back his laughter and nodded, "Okay."

Once Su Qing returned to the kitchen, Su Xiaomeng pointed at Xiao Chen and said angrily, "Kid, don't get too cocky, I'll make you leave, I will!"

"Really?" Xiao Chen scratched his head, "Then I should go talk to your sister about going to school..."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng felt like crying. Damn, is this guy even a man? Why does he use this to threaten me? Heaven, strike him with lightning!

"Xiaomeng, we have no grudges, how about we make a deal? You don't try to drive me away, and I won't go to school and cause you trouble, okay?"

"Impossible, I will definitely drive you away!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

"No!"

"Oh, then I'll go talk to your sister. I think she'll be very happy to have me go to school to protect you closely!" Xiao Chen said, turning to go to the kitchen.

Su Xiaomeng panicked, "Bastard, come back here!"

"What did you call me?" Xiao Chen turned his head, raising an eyebrow.

"Bastard... No, Xiao Chen!"

"Disrespectful, you should call me Brother Chen, got it?"

"My brother, you old man!" Su Xiaomeng couldn't control her anger.

"Oh, you can call me Brother Chen, but that's a bit too fast in terms of seniority..."

"I... Damn!" Su Xiaomeng almost suffocated from anger.

"A girl shouldn't swear, it's not a good habit. I should go talk to your sister about this!" Xiao Chen said, pretending to go to the kitchen again.

Su Xiaomeng, unable to stay angry, quickly blocked Xiao Chen's path, her tone softening, "I won't drive you away, okay? Let's just leave each other alone!"

"It was okay just now, but not now."

"Then... What do you want?"

"Call me Brother Chen, let me hear it?" Xiao Chen said with a smug tone.

"..."

"What, not calling?"

Su Xiaomeng gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, but finally took a deep breath and gave in, "Brother Chen."

"Louder, the signal is bad, I can't hear you."

"..." Su Xiaomeng barely suppressed her anger, which could have dried up the Pacific Ocean, and shouted, "Brother Chen!"

"Ah~" Xiao Chen responded, "See, isn't this better? No need to be so confrontational, right?"

Su Xiaomeng forced a smile, inwardly cursing, "Damn bastard, we'll see how this plays out!"

A few minutes later, the three sat around the dining table, enjoying breakfast... at least, it looked that way on the surface!

After breakfast, they tidied up and left the villa, first dropping off Su Xiaomeng at school, then heading to the company.

"Xiao Chen, Xiaomeng is a bit rebellious, don't take her too seriously." After Su Xiaomeng got out of the car, Su Qing said to Xiao Chen.

"I won't, I think the girl is fine. As for being rebellious... who hasn't been rebellious at this age?"

Su Qing smiled and changed the topic, "I discussed with Sister Lan last night. You will enter the company as my personal bodyguard, under the security department. What do you think?"

"I have no objections."

"Okay, once we get to the company, follow her instructions."

"Alright." Xiao Chen nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "Su Qing, what kind of trouble are you in?"

Su Qing's eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure, "I received a threatening letter recently..."

"Threatening letter? Who sent it?"

"I don't know."

"Any suspects?"

"No."

"So, we can only defend passively and do nothing else?"

Su Qing nodded, "Yes, so we can only wait."

"Alright." Xiao Chen was helpless, inwardly cursing, "Damn, you better show up soon, don't make me wait too long!"

Su Qing glanced at Xiao Chen, sighing inwardly. It's not that I don't want to tell you the real trouble, but this matter is too big. If it leaks, it will be a storm!

For a moment, both were lost in their thoughts, and neither spoke.

At the company, Su Qing gave a few instructions and then got busy, while Xiao Chen went to the assistant's office.

"Sister Lan, you look really beautiful today!"

When Xiao Chen saw Qin Lan, his eyes lit up.

Today, Qin Lan was wearing a black dress that accentuated her beautiful curves and exuded a sexy charm!

"Really? Was I not beautiful yesterday?" Qin Lan pretended to be angry.

"Of course not, Sister Lan is always beautiful, always so charming~" Xiao Chen flattered women without thinking, speaking smoothly.

"Hehe, you're just saying nice things to please me." Qin Lan smiled seductively, "Sit down, Miss Su has already told you, right?"

"Yes, she did, and I have no objections."

"Don't worry, although you belong to the security department, you are not under its jurisdiction! You have two leaders, one is Miss Su..."

"And the other?"

"The other is me, hehe..."

Xiao Chen looked at Qin Lan's shaking chest and grinned, "Sister Lan, as my leader, will you try to take advantage of me?"

"That depends on your performance!" Qin Lan's eyes were filled with seduction.

"Heh, then I'll have to perform well!"

After a few playful exchanges, Qin Lan introduced Xiao Chen to the security department.

The security department is under the administrative and human resources department, with over fifty people, but most are assigned to the factory. There are about twenty people at the company, managed by a security supervisor.

"Your office is also in the security department."

"I have an office?"

"Of course, but it's temporary. Once my office is available, you can move in here."

"Heh, no need to go through so much trouble. Can't we share an office? As they say, men and women working together makes the job easier..." Xiao Chen emphasized the word "work."

"You're taking advantage of me again!" Qin Lan rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen, "I won't joke with you anymore, I'll take you to report in!"

"No need to trouble Sister Lan, I can go by myself!"

Qin Lan nodded, "Alright, go ahead. I'll call the security supervisor."

"Okay." Xiao Chen left the assistant's office, went to the bathroom, and then wandered over to the security department.
