The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO

"What's the matter?" In a secret room of the Dragon Group, Wang Dadong, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looked at Hao Wentao impatiently.

This guy really knows how to show up at the wrong time, right when he and Long Qiuyu were getting cozy, ruining the mood.

"Brother Wang, I called you here to talk about the Kryptonite Alloy. Ten kilograms is a bit too much; I can't get that much..." Hao Wentao paused and said.

Wang Dadong was immediately displeased—you can't get it and you didn't say earlier, and now you tell me after I've already won the competition? This isn't just messing with me, is it?

"Old Hao, I'm putting it out there first. If you dare to renege, all future missions of the Dragon Group will no longer concern me." Wang Dadong said sternly.

"No, Brother Wang, don't be mad. Although I can't get ten kilograms of Kryptonite Alloy, I can replace it with something else." Hao Wentao said.

"No way, I won't take anything except Kryptonite Alloy." Wang Dadong shook his head vigorously.

If it weren't for Hao Wentao promising him ten kilograms of Kryptonite Alloy, he definitely wouldn't have joined this competition.

"How about Huaxia Country's latest Light Carbon 96 Army Combat Suit?" Hao Wentao's eyes gleamed with amusement.

Wang Dadong was taken aback upon hearing this.

Light Carbon 96 Army Combat Suit, isn't that hailed as the world's lightest and thinnest bulletproof vest? How thin can it really be? So thin it's as thin as a sheet of tissue paper.

Although it's this thin, it can stop bullets, except heavy sniper ones, from penetrating, and ordinary knives and swords can barely cut through.

Putting it on not only makes one immune to temperatures under eighty degrees but also has excellent insulation at temperatures below minus twenty degrees.

Of course, the Light Carbon 96 Combat Suit can't compare to the Kryptonite Alloy Combat Apparel, but the key is that this stuff is available in large quantities, and they're finished products.

"How many can you give me?" Wang Dadong's eyes narrowed.

"One hundred sets!" Hao Wentao replied.

Wang Dadong was somewhat surprised. Although he didn't know the production cost of the Light Carbon 96 Combat Suit, he could guess that the price of a hundred sets definitely far exceeded that of ten kilograms of Kryptonite Alloy.

When did Hao Wentao become so generous?

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have additional conditions, right?" Wang Dadong took a drag on his cigarette and said calmly.

Dealing with Hao Wentao isn't a new occasion, Wang Dadong knew exactly what kind of person Hao Wentao was.

"Brother Wang, you saying that makes me unhappy. What do you mean by saying I have additional conditions? Could it be I'm just..."

"Alright, it's settled then. You give me one hundred sets of Light Carbon 96 Combat Suit, and I won't want the Kryptonite Alloy." Wang Dadong interrupted Hao Wentao directly.

Hao Wentao's face turned somewhat red, feeling a bit awkward. "Hehe, Brother Wang, actually if it were up to me, I'd certainly give you 100 sets unconditionally, but the key is that these 100 sets are from the state to you."

"The state?" Wang Dadong's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

After that incident, he's unwilling to deal with the state anymore. He knows very well the state doesn't just give you benefits without strings attached.

Hao Wentao nodded, saying seriously, "Brother Wang, I won't play coy anymore; the state wants the fragment in your possession."

"What fragment? I don't know what you're talking about." Wang Dadong said, face unchanged.

But in his heart, he was quite startled—the Dragon Group found out so quickly that he has the copper box fragment.

"Brother Wang, if the state hadn't received reliable intelligence, they wouldn't have asked me to exchange Combat Suit for it."

"What if I don't exchange it?" Wang Dadong squinted his eyes.

The copper box fragment is a very frightening object. Even though the state wants it, he is unwilling to take it out.

Handled improperly, it could become something even scarier than nuclear weapons.

Indeed, the copper box fragment has significant side effects, but the state can brainwash a group of volunteers to use it.

This way, they can achieve their goals without enduring the fragment's backlash.

He's personally witnessed the state's brainwashing abilities. If he hadn't gone through such an experience, he would probably still blindly sacrifice himself for the country like a fool.

It's not that Wang Dadong doesn't want to serve the state; he just can't accept unconditional blind sacrifice.

Upon hearing this, Hao Wentao was somewhat helpless. If Wang Dadong insists on not handing it over, he truly has no means.

Smiled bitterly, "Brother Wang, I'm also acting under orders. If you don't want to, I naturally can't compel you. The state can't do anything to you, but it could to others."

Wang Dadong's face darkened immediately, grabbing Hao Wentao's collar. "Hao Wentao, are you threatening me? Just try to touch the people around me, I guarantee you'll all regret it! Since you know about the copper box fragment, you should know what I represent now."

"Of course I know, but do you truly think you can rival the state?"

"I definitely can't, nor will I. But, with just a few orders, Huaxia's special forces will face a threefold increase in death rates during overseas missions. Do you believe?" Wang Dadong said coldly.

Wang Dadong wasn't implying he'd have Hell harm Huaxia special forces; he'd just ensure Hell steers clear of their missions.

After so many years abroad, he's accomplished a lot for the country, though he never mentions it.

"Do you know your people come back alive because my people risked their lives for them?" Seeing Hao Wentao remain silent, Wang Dadong almost roared this out.

Upon hearing this, Hao Wentao became even more silent; he knew Wang Dadong was speaking the truth.

If not for Hell's aid in the shadows, not only would many overseas missions be impossible, those special forces might not even come back alive.

Wang Dadong released Hao Wentao and started puffing on his cigarette intermittently.

Hao Wentao also began smoking.

Soon, the room became smoke-filled, choking.

The silence lasted for a full five minutes before Hao Wentao gently spoke, "Brother Wang, I understand your point. I'll report it up top."

After saying this, Hao Wentao got up to leave.

"Wait." Wang Dadong stopped Hao Wentao.

Hao Wentao turned around, only to see a black-glow rushing towards him.

Far from being scared, Hao Wentao was pleased and hurriedly caught it, his expression becoming thrilled upon seeing what was in his hand.

"Brother Wang, what is this..." Hao Wentao looked at Wang Dadong, puzzled why he'd brought the copper box fragment out again.

Wang Dadong stood up with a stoic face and said coldly, "I am a Huaxia person, and of course I hope Huaxia becomes stronger. I hope you will use it for a legitimate purpose."

Hao Wentao seriously nodded, "Brother Wang, I guarantee the state acquires this for societal betterment."

"Let's hope..."

Wang Dadong shook his head and walked out of the secret room.
