Urban Ace Bodyguard

Evening, a little after eight o'clock, at Mingya Group.

"Mr. President, still working overtime so late?" The voluptuous secretary was busy packing up her things, getting ready to leave for home, when she heard someone approaching. She looked up with a hint of surprise and said.

"Mm, Li, be careful on your way home and get some rest early. It's been a tiring day at work," Ouyang Xiaoya nodded slightly and said to the female secretary.

The secretary nodded repeatedly, thrilled inside that the CEO was so caring. Thinking her future looked bright, she happily packed her things, grabbed her little purse, and left work with a light heart.

Ouyang Xiaoya entered the office and found Lin Hai already sitting in her special chair, leaning over and intently staring at the tablet.

When was this guy ever so serious? Ouyang Xiaoya took a quick glance, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she said coyly, "Lord Lin, you seem to be in a good mood."

"Cough cough, this is the latest release from the authentic Pona... uh, honey, you're here?" Halfway through his sentence, Lin Hai realized something was off and hastily scrambled to turn off the tablet, sheepishly smiling and rubbing his hands together, feigning innocence.

Ouyang Xiaoya gritted her teeth, wishing she could use the tablet to smack Lin Hai dead. This guy was actually using her tablet to watch that disgusting stuff!

"Hehe, honey, don't be mad, okay? I'm a normal man after all, and since you won't let me touch you, I have to find something to comfort myself, right?" Lin Hai said while trying to appease her with a smile.

"If you dare touch me, I'll die right in front of you," Ouyang Xiaoya glared at him furiously. This guy's brain was full of nothing but rubbish thoughts all day, and now he's thinking of getting on her? Come on!

"Cough cough, don't, honey. It's not good for me to live like a widower alone," Lin Hai quickly said.

"Hmph, before I die, I'll castrate you first!" Ouyang Xiaoya said indignantly.

"Sh*t, I'll shut up!" Lin Hai felt a chill rising below.

Ouyang Xiaoya's pretty face was icy. There were important matters to attend to tonight, and not only was this guy so afraid of dying that he stuck to her side as a so-called "personal bodyguard," he was also watching those revolting Japanese action films in the office. She really wished she could kick him dead. Looking at Captain Wang, who was preparing to fight criminals to the end, both were men, so why was there such a big difference?

"Move aside!" Ouyang Xiaoya walked up to Lin Hai and said coldly.

"Absolutely not moving. Honey, I'm doing this for your own good. Me sitting here is to attract gunfire!" Lin Hai argued.

"Attract gunfire? What gunfire are you attracting? You clearly just want to stick around here," Ouyang Xiaoya said through gritted teeth.

"Cough cough, by sitting here, absorbed in watching films, if Captain Wang can't hold them back and they storm in, they'd definitely go after the person sitting here first. If there are accomplices sneaking in, they would surely target the CEO's seat first. Isn't this attracting gunfire?

"Don't look at me now, so comfortable, even enjoying a film, but in a crisis, my life could be in danger at any moment. However, for the safety of my dear wife, I'm ready to make the ultimate sacrifice!" Lin Hai lifted his head with a tragically heroic expression.

"How about we switch? Actually, I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles. I'm scared too," Lin Hai added.

Ouyang Xiaoya thought it over. Although this guy was frivolous, full of faults, and particularly annoying, at crucial moments he still managed to say a few sensible words. This copy was generated from content at MV|LEMPYR.

"The CEO will not stoop to argue with petty people. You like sitting there, right? Keep sitting until you die!" Ouyang Xiaoya snorted coldly, pouted her lips, turned with her cup in hand, and sat down on the sofa, facing Lin Hai from a distance.

...

Elsewhere

Wang Dajun wore a black tactical vest, special combat boots, tactical gloves, and had two daggers hidden at his waist, cuffs, and lower legs. He carried a bundle of steel cables and a powerful crossbow with ten bolts inserted, his face covered with camouflage paint. He looked like a javelin, with a cold glance and powerful demeanor, appearing in the surveillance video.

"Look, Captain Wang has appeared. Tsk tsk, this look, he really resembles a big villain boss from the movies," Lin Hai said, holding the tablet.

Ouyang Xiaoya also grew curious and leaned over to watch. She had to admit that Wang Dajun, in his gear, coupled with the serious atmosphere and sharp gaze, did look the part.

"Do you see that? That's what I call a professional!" Ouyang Xiaoya took the opportunity to praise Wang Dajun and at the same time, took a dig at Lin Hai.

With Lin Hai's thick skin, such taunts were completely immune to him, and might even rebound with damage.

Time quickly approached 9:30 pm, the same timeframe when the suspicious person showed up last time.

Ouyang Xiaoya and Lin Hai both held their breath, staring intently at the surveillance footage.

In the footage, Wang Dajun was also hiding in a corner, his eyes alert to the extreme, even slightly clenching his fists; it was clear that he was a bit nervous too.

The atmosphere seemed to have dropped in temperature, giving off a chilling fear like something creeping up your spine.

Especially since everyone else in the company had left, the huge company was now left with just the three of them, besides the gatekeeper grandpa outside with a combat power of at most 1.

Then came the question, if Wang Dajun were to be miserably defeated, Ouyang Xiaoya felt that both she and Lin Hai would not escape the clutches of the adversary.

"Honey, don't worry, later we can head to the bathroom, lock the door behind us, and no one will be able to get in. If we can hold out until dawn, we'll be safe," Lin Hai took the opportunity to put his hand on Ouyang Xiaoya's shoulder, greasing the wheels while talking.

Perhaps due to slight nervousness, Ouyang Xiaoya ignored Lin Hai's inappropriate hand, glanced contemptuously at him, and said, "Is this what you call personal protection?"

"Cough cough, honey, look," Lin Hai deliberately pointed at the screen, shifting the topic.

On the screen, a black figure flashed by quickly.

Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes widened; it was her first time seeing someone move at such speed.

Lin Hai also widened his eyes, not surprised by the opponent's speed, but amazed at how perfectly in sync they were.

Perhaps Ouyang Xiaoya thought it was just one person, but Lin Hai could tell that the black figure was actually two people walking side by side, only their speed was so fast and due to the angle, most people would struggle to distinguish that.

Hidden Wang Dajun also seemed to have sensed something was off, his body agile as a cat, swiftly hiding above the ceiling in a single move; Ouyang Xiaoya nodded slightly in approval of this action.

"Tsks tsk, Captain Wang's skills are pretty good, hehe." Lin Hai actually didn't finish, it was just that, merely 'pretty good.' Just from the speed and skills of those two black figures, Lin Hai could tell that Wang Dajun was surely going to lose with his own eyes.

The screen quickly focused on the corridor one floor below Ouyang Xiaoya's office.

Wang Dajun landed on the ground of the corridor at the moment the two black figures were about to come, standing solemnly ahead, cutting off the adversary's path.

When narrow paths meet, the brave wins. At this moment, Ouyang Xiaoya couldn't help but subconsciously grasp Lin Hai's arm, her breathing also becoming slightly rapid. After all, as a favored lady, it was her first time witnessing a confrontation between experts; previously, she had only seen performances on TV.

Lin Hai casually reached under the table and took out a bucket of popcorn prepared in advance, flipped out a few sunflower seeds, cracking them leisurely as he enjoyed the footage: "This stuff is way more real than Hollywood blockbusters. Here, honey, want some seeds?"

Ouyang Xiaoya glared at Lin Hai fiercely; this guy was just unbelievable... at a time like this, he still had the leisure to crack seeds. Look at him, even preparing popcorn in advance; does he think this dangerous situation is like watching a theatrical release movie?

In the footage, Wang Dajun seemed to have exchanged a few words with the adversary.

No need to guess, it certainly must have been, "Who are you? Who sent you? Better surrender quietly," followed by disagreement and then drawing swords against each other.

Sure enough, one of them accelerated their pace, charging at Wang Dajun like a bullet, with a sharp dagger gleaming cold under the light, viciously slashing toward Wang Dajun's throat.

Ouyang Xiaoya tightly grabbed Lin Hai's arm, her eyes glued to the screen, unable to look away.

The confrontation... had officially begun...
