Chapter 45: Kiss Me

Xu Gang frowned and said, "Kid, you're getting a bit too cocky. Are you sure you still need the test? I don't think it's necessary. If I end up hurting you, who's going to be responsible? You're not trying to scam medical fees, are you?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and replied, "Injure me? You don't have that ability."

Xu Gang's face turned angry, and he sneered, "Fine, very fine. Since you're overestimating yourself, I'll test your strength. If you lose, get lost and never step into Tianqiong Entertainment again. This place isn't for fraudsters. Chen Li, you go up against this kid and show him what real strength is."

Chen Li nodded excitedly, twisted his neck, and it cracked. He looked at Lin Chen and sneered, "Kid, let me teach you a lesson. If you win me, you pass!"

Lin Chen looked at Xu Gang and asked, "Are you sure I just need to beat this big guy to pass?"

"Yes, I'm afraid you don't have that ability," Xu Gang said.

Lin Chen turned to An Xueyao and asked, "Does what he say count?"

An Xueyao nodded.

"Kid, you don't really think you can win, do you? You have no idea what kind of devil training we went through in the military. Someone like you—"

"You're talking too much!"

Before Chen Li could finish his taunt, Lin Chen had already thrown a punch. In the short distance, it exploded with terrifying power, using the technique of short-range force, and slammed into Chen Li's chest.

Bang!

"Ah!"

Chen Li was directly punched several meters away, crashing into the ring's ropes, and then rebounded back to Lin Chen's feet, clutching his chest and screaming in pain.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically, looking at Lin Chen in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Some even rubbed their eyes, trying to confirm if this was an illusion. How could this guy, who looked somewhat frail, have such terrifying energy?

Chen Li's combat skills weren't the strongest, but his steel-like muscles and resistance to hits were on par with Captain Xu Gang. Now, he was knocked down by Lin Chen's single punch. How was this possible!

However, whether they believed it or not, the fact was right in front of them!

They looked at Lin Chen with a mix of awe. That punch, if it hit any of them, would be unbearable.

Lin Chen coldly glanced at Chen Li and said, "Next time, remember not to talk so much before a fight. Real enemies won't wait for you to finish talking, and they won't give you a chance to say 'I'll be back.'"

Chen Li was so ashamed he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He, a veteran who had been on the battlefield, was being lectured, and he couldn't even argue back. Deep down, he was so arrogant because he never took Lin Chen seriously, and as a result, he was knocked out in one punch.

"Looks like I've passed, right?" Lin Chen smiled at the stunned An Xueyao.

It had to be said, the way the Queen An Xueyao stood there with her mouth slightly open, looking dazed, was quite cute.

"No, no way! Your annual salary is 20 million, Chen Li's is only 1 million. The test can't be that simple. We need to start over, it must be retested."

Zhao Hong, who had just walked in from the door, shouted loudly.

Lin Chen frowned and said, "Miss Zhao, the security team leader just said that if I beat this guy, I pass. Now you're saying it doesn't count. Do you mean what he said doesn't count?"

Xu Gang's face was a bit awkward, but compared to Zhao Hong, what he said indeed didn't count.

Zhao Hong said in a domineering tone, "That's right, what he said doesn't count. The test can't be that simple!"

Lin Chen's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Just now, these security guards looked down on him and provoked him. According to his character, he didn't immediately explode, which was already giving them face.

Now, they had just agreed that if he beat Chen Li, he would pass, but they were going back on their word!

Lin Chen didn't care what kind of test they would give him. He had absolute confidence in his strength, but he had his pride and wouldn't let them treat him like a plaything.

Do they think he can't live without this security job?

Lin Chen frowned and said, "A man without integrity cannot stand. No matter what, Miss An also said that the test is based on what Xu Gang said. I beat Chen Li according to what he said, and now Miss Zhao says it doesn't count. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Zhao Hong said impatiently, "I said it doesn't count, and it doesn't count. 10 million for half a year, do you think it's that easy to earn?"

Lin Chen smiled coldly and said, "Miss Zhao, you'd better put away that attitude. I don't buy into that. I don't think it's necessary to test me anymore."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hong was taken aback, suddenly having a bad feeling.

"I mean I'm not interested in being a security guard anymore. You might think I have many demands and a high salary, so this opportunity is rare for me, and I'll obediently follow your requirements and let you test me however you want. But to be honest, if I really wanted to make money, 10 million isn't even in my eyes!"

Zhao Hong's face turned ugly, never expecting such a result.

She was certain that Lin Chen would do everything to become a security guard, but she never thought he would directly say he wasn't interested!

It was as if he was refusing a 10 million job as if it were a 10 thousand job!

"Mr. Lin, don't be hasty. I didn't mean it that way. We can talk. As long as you have the ability... you... hey, don't go!"

Zhao Hong saw Lin Chen really turn to leave and couldn't help but call out. They really needed a super expert to protect An Xueyao, and from what Lin Chen just showed, he was definitely not simple.

"There's nothing to talk about. Find someone else!"

Lin Chen ignored Zhao Hong and was about to leave when he felt his clothes being pulled.

"Miss An, what do you mean? You clearly said that what Xu Gang said counts. He beat Chen Li according to what he said, and now you're going back on your word. Do you really think I'm desperate for this security job? Let go!" Lin Chen said coldly.

"Hey, Lin Chen, don't get upset. Sister Hong didn't mean it that way." An Xueyao was anxious, never expecting things to turn out this way.

"Regardless of what she meant, I'm not interested in being a security guard. I'm used to a laid-back life. That day, I just said it casually. After thinking it over, this security job isn't suitable for me."

An Xueyao was in a panic.

When she asked Lin Chen to apply for the security job without knowing his strength, it was partly because of her own selfishness.

That day in the hospital, Lin Chen appeared when she was at her most desperate, even thinking of ending her life. At that moment, he seemed like a god descending from heaven. Later, Lin Chen used his miraculous skills to heal her face, making her think of him often.

This wasn't because she was in love with Lin Chen, but because he gave her a sense of security.

When she was attacked yesterday, her first thought was: Lin Chen, save me!

So she hoped Lin Chen would become her security guard. She had a strange feeling that as long as Lin Chen was by her side, he could solve all her troubles.

But she didn't expect Lin Chen to react so strongly, directly refusing to be her security guard. She was momentarily stunned.

She tried to salvage the situation, "Lin Chen, don't go, please. You don't need to be tested anymore. As long as you're willing, you're my security guard now!"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Miss An, I really have no interest in being a security guard. I suddenly feel that there are easier ways to make money."

An Xueyao, seeing Lin Chen's indifference, bit her lip and said, "As long as you agree to be my security guard, I can fulfill any request within my ability!"

Lin Chen was about to shake his head again but, glancing at An Xueyao's stunning beauty that made his heart race, he said, "How about this: let all your security guards come at me, and I'll fight them. If I win, you have to kiss me. What do you think?"
