Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 57 Zhongnanhe's Personal Bodyguard



The company actually had someone who could slip in at night undetected, and moreover, easily evaded the alarm system. Just this alone has already demonstrated that there are serious flaws in the company's security system.

If the intruder was merely a thief, then the most the company would have lost was some property, but if their target was to harm the CEO, I'm afraid an unsuspecting CEO working overtime could be found dead in the office the next morning...

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Dajun's forehead began to sweat profusely. He widened his eyes and leaned his head close to Lin Hai, staring intently at the tablet screen, not missing any detail.

Ouyang Xiaoya also frowned slightly. Yesterday, while reviewing the company-wide surveillance video, she inadvertently caught this segment of footage. Thinking deeper and recalling the terrifying scenes Lin Hai once described, she, too, couldn't help feeling a tinge of horror in her heart.

After watching it four or five times, Wang Dajun still couldn't figure out how the other party intended to breach the alarm system. Apart from a camera in a blind spot that captured the intruder's back, the person had seemingly vanished, appearing in no other footage.

This could only explain one thing—that the intruder had indeed infiltrated, and was an expert who could effortlessly dodge the company's video surveillance system.

After a while, Ouyang Xiaoya spoke up.

"Captain Wang, Captain Lin, with such a serious security breach in the company, what are your thoughts?" While Ouyang Xiaoya included Lin Hai in her question, she mainly addressed Wang Dajun, since he was the professional.

Wang Dajun, glancing at Lin Hai who did not intend to speak, said with an undertone of deep concern, "The intruder... might be an expert..."

This statement was tantamount to an indirect admission that there were vulnerabilities in the company's security system. The original source is M|V|L5EMPYR.

"Captain Wang, this matter is very serious. Do you have any solutions?" Ouyang Xiaoya's pretty eyebrows furrowed deeply, especially since Wang Dajun's comment about the intruder being "an expert" seemed to make the situation more complicated.

Lin Hai appeared unconcerned, puffing on a cigarette in one hand and casually sipping the fragrant tea from President Ouyang's personal teacup in the other, leaning back comfortably in the CEO's chair, squinting his eyes and occasionally emitting a contented hum, a picture of utmost enjoyment.

Seeing Lin Hai acting so nonchalantly made Ouyang Xiaoya's blood boil, furious that he could still appear so cavalier when the company was facing such a grave problem. It was infuriating.

"Captain Wang, what's your take?" Ouyang Xiaoya pressed, her voice icy as she tried to suppress her inner rage.

"Huh? Asking me? Well, as Captain Wang said, it's an expert. As a retired elite of the special forces, you should be consulting Captain Wang, more professionally seasoned. Me? I'm just a cook who used to shovel coal in the logistics' kitchen. I can make food, alright, but facing an expert, that scares me." Lin Hai finished speaking and cautiously tightened his clothes, as though alertly prepared for the 'expert' to burst in and violate him at any moment, with an expression so vigilant that Ouyang Xiaoya nearly threw a punch at his face.

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Wang Dajun wore a look of disdain and contempt. With the issue now critically threatening President Ouyang's safety, Lin Hai, as the second in command of the security department, still acted so cowardly and avoidant. What a useless man devoid of responsibility and courage! No, in Wang Dajun's eyes, such a person didn't even deserve to be called a man. At this moment, his respect for the mysterious 'expert' even exceeded that for Lin Hai.

"What are you even saying? The company has no place for idlers. Lin Hai, if I hear you make such comments again, you'll be dismissed immediately!" Ouyang Xiaoya glared at Lin Hai in anger.

"Heh heh, CEO, don't be mad, I was just joking." Lin Hai said with a face full of appeasement, then pointed at the figure in black on the tablet, and said indifferently, "For such a small fry as this, I can't be bothered to act. Captain Wang, how about you just handle it? You're the best at getting things done and earning credit. I? I might as well hide behind the scenes, keeping a low profile. What do you think?"

Wang Dajun and Ouyang Xiaoya both wore expressions of complete contempt towards Lin Hai.

Unconcerned, Lin Hai took small sips of his tea, his gaze drifting towards the view outside the window, an attitude of total indifference.

This guy is really nothing! Ouyang Xiaoya had originally hoped that Lin Hai would rise to the occasion at the crucial moment, to resolve this problem and allow her to change her view of him. But now, that expectation had utterly been shattered to dust.

Wang Dajun also felt that this was the perfect opportunity to showcase his abilities. Since Lin Hai was acting so cowardly, if he were to step forward, he would undoubtedly rise in President Ouyang's estimation.

"President Ouyang, please allow me to handle this matter personally!" After saying this, Wang Dajun glanced at Lin Hai, who had his back turned to him, and added, "Even if the adversary is highly skilled, I absolutely won't tolerate anyone stirring trouble at the Youming Ya Group. I'll make them regret their actions!"

President Ouyang nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Hai and snorted coldly, "Lin Hai, don't you have anything to say?"

"Oh, yes, of course I have something to say," Lin Hai nodded in response.

"Oh? What are your thoughts and views? Share them, so everyone can discuss," President Ouyang was curious about what Lin Hai had to say at this point.

"Right, I'd like to tell Captain Wang to be very careful. Our opponent could be a ruthless killer who wouldn't blink at murder. Also, I'll take care of President Ouyang's personal safety. We'll hide behind the scenes, giving you moral support." After Lin Hai spoke, he noticed Wang Dajun and Ouyang Xiaoya looking at him angrily.

"Cough, cough, I have more to add!" Lin Hai said 'persistently,' unafraid of the glares that seemed to swallow him whole.

"Speak!" President Ouyang said, her face turning ashen.

Lin Hai nodded and continued, "I think there's no time like the present. Tonight, President Ouyang could pretend to work overtime to confuse the enemy. If that guy really is an assassin out to kill the CEO, he won't miss such an opportunity."

"At that time, Captain Wang can set up an ambush in advance, hiding in the darkness. Once the assassin appears, you can capture him with a lightning strike and resolve the crisis."

After exchanging glances, Ouyang Xiaoya and Wang Dajun started to ponder. Lin Hai's suggestion seemed to be the best option under the current circumstances.

"And what about you?" President Ouyang realized that Lin Hai wasn't included in his own plan.

"Me?" Lin Hai pointed at himself and then said with a smile, "Of course, I'll be personally protecting your safety. I'll hide in the bathroom or under your desk. If Captain Wang unfortunately falls, I'll run away with you immediately, call the police, hand the matter over to law enforcement, and then we can grab some supper to replenish our spirits. The next day, we can also commemorate the heroic figure Wang Dajun, who selflessly sacrificed himself for the company, his legacy living on forever!"

At this moment, Wang Dajun's facial muscles twitched fiercely, his knuckles cracking loudly, his eyes full of a fury that seemed like nothing short of devouring Lin Hai alive would quench his wrath.

President Ouyang was utterly speechless with Lin Hai, but overall the plan seemed feasible.

"Captain Wang, what do you think? Should we get more people to help?" President Ouyang inquired.

Wang Dajun shook his head and confidently said, "Others might not be a match for this guy, and more people could backfire by tipping him off. Just me is enough. As a former elite instructor of Huaxia's Special Forces, this level of expert poses no threat to me."

President Ouyang nodded in approval at Wang Dajun, who very much enjoyed the admiring look from the president.

The plan was set; the three of them prepared to act that night, with Wang Dajun leaving first to get ready.

"From now on, I am your personal bodyguard, responsible for all your safety matters, Miss CEO. Even if it's through a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, I won't even frown. Just imagine me as the protagonist from the movie 'The Bodyguard from Beijing', and remember, don't accidentally fall in love with this guy," Lin Hai seriously said, then winked at his beloved wife.

"Drop dead!" Ouyang Xiaoya was on the verge of exploding with anger.
