Chapter 31

"Whoever you are, if you're looking for a person named Frank Chen, I can only tell you: there is no such person here."

"Alright, Mr. Chen Jie, can we meet and talk? Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions; I just hope to meet you."

"......Alright, since you are so well-informed, I can meet you. Please wait ten minutes before coming up; I still have guests here."

Saying that, Chen Jie hung up the phone.

Inside, Zhang Ruochen had just finished his call.

"Sorry, an old friend has come to see me and is already in the lobby downstairs," Chen Jie said apologetically.

"No problem, I'm in the presidential suite next door. If you get bored, feel free to come over; I have two girls there, hehe." Zhang Ruochen nodded understandingly, took out one of his business cards, and handed it to Chen Jie before leaving the room.

Chen Jie glanced at the card casually and tossed it onto the coffee table.

After changing into a more formal outfit, the doorbell rang.

As Chen Jie said, "Please come in," a middle-aged man walked in.

Chen Jie sized up the middle-aged man from head to toe and nodded. "Please sit down."

"I'm sorry for the intrusion," the middle-aged man said as he sat down. "Let me introduce myself: I am Wang Bei, the executive director of Tianchang Group."

Wang Bei was a middle-aged man with a slight bald spot, strong and robust, with a faint smell of tobacco, looking very authoritative. Chen Jie nodded but remained noncommittal.

"I apologize for investigating your identity and background, but mainly because on the yacht Queen Mariana, I saw you single-handedly subdue eleven fully armed killers. It left a deep impression on me, so I also investigated your identity."

"Being able to find out my identity, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Please get to the point, what do you want from me?" Chen Jie was not interested in formalities and asked directly.

"Mr. Chen Jie, you are straightforward. I'll be direct too: I hope you can protect the safety of the chairman of Tianchang Group, who is also my brother Wang Bei's daughter and my niece."

"Is your niece facing a significant safety threat?" Chen Jie asked curiously. "Does she need someone like me as her bodyguard?"

"To be honest, ordinary kidnappings and such, the security company I hired can handle. However, we recently received a major threat, so we must find an absolutely reliable person to protect my niece's safety."

"Can you elaborate?" Chen Jie asked curiously.

"Have you agreed to it?"

Wang Bei, skilled in negotiation techniques, quickly asked, taking advantage of Chen Jie's curiosity.

"Please elaborate. Whether I will do it depends on the situation." Chen Jie smiled.

"Alright. To be honest, this matter has troubled me for a long time, and I still don't understand why." Wang Bei smiled bitterly.

"A month ago, I received an email, the content of which was a demand for my niece."

"An email demanding a person? Is this person crazy?" Chen Jie asked, puzzled.

"I hope it's a joke, but the content of that email was too shocking, and the way it was sent was also very peculiar."

"What way?"

"A month ago, I was about to sign a contract, and that letter was already in my own top-secret safe."

"Top-secret safe?"
