This bodyguard is too invincible

Whoosh! Hearing his subordinate's words, Du Tingchao's hand, which was playing chess, clenched slightly.

"What happened?" Du Tingchao asked coldly.

The subordinate reported cautiously, "According to our informants... half an hour ago, the boss of the Peace Society, Dong Yongping... led his men to the Su Family Corporation... and then unexpectedly they all knelt down, wanting to pledge allegiance to the Su Family Corporation... They even cut their wrists and swore blood oaths! They promised not to betray the Su Family or Lin Shuang..."

'Crack~!' Hearing the subordinate's report, the black Go stone in Du Tingchao's hand... was crushed to pieces.

"What a Dong Yongping..." Du Tingchao's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with a bone-chilling murderous intent.

No one had ever betrayed him.

To betray him, Du Tingchao, was equivalent to slapping the Du Family's face.

With a deep breath, Du Tingchao said coldly, "Lin Shuang, is it... Hah, to think Dong Yongping would abandon our Du Family's cooperation to turn to Lin Shuang... It looks like he really has some ability."

The subordinate said with complexity, "Young master... should we send someone to eliminate the Peace Society?"

Du Tingchao slowly nodded, "You know what to do, remember to move slowly and leave no trace. Our Du Family is currently hidden from the world; we can't leave any clues. Even more, we can't let the other three great families find out."

The subordinate nodded solemnly, "Yes, I understand!"

"Also, send someone to gather more information on Lin Shuang's identity. I want his exact profile," Du Tingchao reminded once more.

The subordinate nodded and then hurriedly departed.

"Young master, our Du Family has been in seclusion for decades. Taking abrupt action, won't this draw the attention of the public? And what about the other three great families, will they take advantage of the situation to make their moves?" the female assistant by the chessboard asked with a complex tone.

Du Tingchao's gaze was profound as he responded indifferently, "Just make it clean and no one should find out. Besides... for the sake of the Heavenly Medicine project, even if our Du Family were to reemerge into the martial world, so what? As long as we act fast enough, the other three great families won't have a chance. Hah... Once we possess the technology of the Heavenly Medicine, the territory of the Du Family can expand once again, at least several times over."

The female assistant's eyes also condensed slightly, "Young master is truly wise, Su Wanqiao thinks that by developing Heavenly Medicine... she will be able to change the fate of the Su Family, not realizing... that her technology is but sewing a wedding dress for the young master."

At these words, Du Tingchao burst into laughter, his smile deep and frosty.

There was no company in this Shanghai that could escape the control of the four great families. Any of the top-tier technologies... would ultimately become possessions of the four great families.

...

After work in the evening.

Lin Shuang was invited to dine at the Su Family mansion.

Mother Yang Manzhi of the Su Family personally cooked, preparing a full table of rich dishes, to show her gratitude to Lin Shuang.

Gratitude for Lin Shuang's protection of the Su sisters these days.

At the dinner table, Lin Shuang did not hold back, enjoying the meal heartily.

Meanwhile, Su Wanqiao's pretty face looked troubled, as if she had something on her mind.

Midway through the meal, Su Wanqiao suddenly spoke up, "Dad, Mom, the company has been pretty empty these days, why don't you take Zhiyan with you and travel abroad for a few days? There happens to be a fashion show in Paris right now, you could buy some clothes and relax."

Her parents were stunned upon hearing this?

Su Zhiyan was the first to refuse, "I don't want to go out. The flu is so severe abroad, why suffer that trouble?"

The parents also declined their daughter's kindness.

After dinner, Su Beicheng sensed something unusual about his daughter. He called her upstairs to inquire about what had happened.

Helpless, Su Wanqiao told the truth. She revealed the matter of the Peace Society pledging allegiance to the Su Family, and the Du Family, one of the four great families, targeting them to her father.

The reason she wanted her parents to travel abroad was to have them avoid the limelight for a while.

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Su Beicheng's face also turned pale as death.

Sighing, Su Beicheng said, "The Du Family must be after the Heavenly Medicine as well. If they really do take action, and we can't defend against it, then so be it. Let's give up the Heavenly Medicine project. Some things are just not within our fate to develop. Safeguarding our own safety is the most important."

Su Wanqiao nodded, "I'll consider it. I'll think of a solution these next few days."

After dinner had ended, Lin Shuang stood up to leave the villa, ready to go home.

But just then, Su Wanqiao followed him out of the villa.

"Lin Shuang," Su Wanqiao called out to him. Seizing the moment when no one was around, she said solemnly, "You've protected me many times in these days, and you've already repaid all the medical debts you owed me. You don't have to stay at my company anymore. I will give you a sum of money, and you can resign. Take Granny Xu and leave Shanghai, go overseas to a professional medical company; maybe they can treat Granny Xu's injuries. After all, the medical equipment overseas is much better than what we have here."

Whoosh! Hearing this, Lin Shuang was startled and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Su Wanqiao spoke word by word, "What I mean is... as of tomorrow, you're fired."
