Chapter 136: Umpet Square (Part one)
Even though Shen Yao was stupid, she could still sense that something was wrong. As he was dragged down the stairs by Ran Jing, he anxiously asked, “What about Xu Cheng? We can't just leave it.”
Ran Jing: “He has every means to get out of this situation, and our presence will only get in his way. Now, this is such a sensitive time that the assassins will definitely kill everyone on the scene, so he will only be free from worry if we leave him.”
Before Shen Yao could speak again, Ran Jing heard someone climb the stairs and immediately told her to shut up.
Just then, the two arrived at the 10th floor and walked past a man in a rain suit.
At first, Shen Yao did not feel anything was wrong, but as she walked past him, she caught a glimpse of the scar on the man's face. He immediately felt a chill run down his back when he realized that he was an assassin!
Ran Jing helped her stay standing with her arms wrapped around her shoulders so she didn't look too scared and exposed themselves. The killer just glanced at the two of them and continued to climb upwards.
A short while after the assassin left, Shen Yao hurriedly wanted to say something, but Ran Jing immediately closed his mouth as another group of assassins were about to come. This time, there were 4 people. Shen Yao's pupils enlarged and she was extremely worried. So many people had come to take Xu Cheng's life, would he be alright?
Both of them controlled their emotions very well and pretended to be the owner of the house carelessly here, not paying much attention to the assassins. The assassins also glanced at them for a moment and let them pass.
After exiting the building, Shen Yao immediately grabbed onto Ran Jing's clothes and said, “Those people are killers, right?”
Ran Jing nodded. “Xu Cheng probably knew there would be danger tonight, and that's why he kicked us out.”
“Ah, I think he really kicked us out, how could I possibly be that stupid!” Shen Yao nervously said, “Let's call the police first, I think Xu Cheng will get into trouble with so many people chasing after him.”
Ran Jing said, worry too, “Still there again. The five people we saw were just one staircase. If they had already damaged the elevator, then they would probably have had people block the other stairs in the condo. That may not be all of it either..”.
Shen Yao's face changed after hearing this. “Okay, let's call the police right now. Xu Cheng should be able to stop this a little.”
Ran Jing nodded and first brought Shen Yao away from the condo before calling the criminal police unit.
Upstairs, Xu Cheng rushed to his room, pulled out his gun, and counted the bullets. He had only done 6 rounds, and with his sharp eyesight, he saw at least 9 people emerge from the two stairs. In addition, there were at least 5 people waiting at the two entrances of the stairs. How did Xu Cheng know those people were here to kill him? Because each of them carries a weapon. Knowing that he would not have enough bullets, he took two fruit knives and hid them in his sleeve. Then, after calculating when those people would arrive, he set the timer on the alarm with an LED screen and then placed it in the most conspicuous place in the living room.
When the assassins finally arrived at the highest floor, they looked at Xu Cheng's unit and said to their accomplices through the microphone, “You're sure he's inside?”
Chapter 136: Umpet Square (Part two)
“Yes, his car is still here, and the electric room shows his electric meter is still moving, meaning he should still be there using electricity.”
“OK, power off the unit. I want to see how well he can see us in the dark.”
Immediately, Xu Cheng felt the lights of his entire unit go out. Then, he heard someone play the door key. Xu Cheng immersed himself in the darkness in a relatively hidden and safe corner, pointing his weapon at the door.
He's very calm at the moment. There are no lights? Doesn't matter. The moment those people opened the door, Xu Cheng had already sensed how many of them and their positions were through the feedback from the ultrasonic waves.
The dark-looking environment was as clear as daylight in his mind.
As the assassin in the lead opened the door slightly, a light shone from the corridor, and pa, he was shot in the head!
The momentum of the bullet piercing the man's forehead caused him to fall backwards on the chests of his comrades, and the dead gaze with eyes still wide open instantly frightened the other assassins.
Oh my God, that shot!
Just one shot, and a man was shot in the head.
Immediately, the other 8 people quickly opened the door and rushed in, closing the door after them to continue the pitch-black environment. They thought if they could not see Xu Cheng, then Xu Cheng could not see them.
But is that the problem?
Even if that was the case, the 8 assassins who had come were completely unaware of the new layout of this unit because Xu Cheng had done a complete renovation after moving in. Moreover, Xu Cheng had great ultimate skills, and that was to say, although he also could not see well in a pitch-black room, yet the ultrasonic waves he used were not inferior to his eyes. As someone who could accurately hit the flying target with a blindfold, these 8 assassins were truly here to die!
The eight assassins moved around the room in formation. The moment they detected Xu Cheng's whereabouts, with their reflexes and accuracy, they would definitely shoot Xu Cheng into the kitchen sieve. Or so they think.
Although Xu Cheng was unable to see, based on the ultrasonic feedback, he knew very well the whereabouts of those 8 people and what they were doing. As the eight of them moved towards him, he also moved slowly.
He did not run or hide, instead he took advantage of the darkness and slowly moved towards them as well.
No one noticed that as the eight of them moved slowly into the units along the wall, Xu Cheng had already circled behind them like a ghost. Suddenly, Xu Cheng reached out from behind to cover the mouth of an assassin and sliced his throat with a fruit knife. The “gudong gudong” sound of flowing blood caught the attention of the others as they immediately turned around and started shooting towards the origin of the sound!
Xu Cheng had already left the man standing in front of him as he rolled into a pitch-black corner.
Under the hail of bullets, the person who was shot to look like a sieve was not Xu Cheng, but their comrade. Someone finally said in a deep voice, “Stop.”
Then, he walked over and touched the clothes of the dead man. It was a raincoat!
If someone were to turn on the lights now, they would be surprised to find that Xu Cheng was near them. With the room pitch-black, no one could see another, other than Xu Cheng, who could see everyone.
Leaning against the wall, in the corner, he pulled out his phone. He threw his phone to the ground in front of the seven assassins, and when the phone touched the ground, it not only let out a sound, but the screen also lit up.
Chapter 137: Incredible (Part one)
The seven assassins who were already very stressed immediately distracted them by the bright screen that suddenly affected their sight. Some people reacted too quickly and shot him straight away.
Making use of this opportunity, Xu Cheng immediately attacked them from the side, thrusting two fruit knives into the throats of two people, and then quickly rolled over.
Hearing the blood flowing and the two people falling to the ground, the other five assassins instantly panicked.
“Lift the curtain and let the light in! Let's finish everything with this b—–d!” someone shouted.
The other people immediately headed for the surrounding windows, wanting to open the thick curtains. However, right at that moment, the alarm that Xu Cheng had set up earlier rang out, and nearly frightened the remaining five assassins.
The five of them immediately stopped their steps and sounded the alarm. Right at that moment from behind them, Xu Cheng slowly stood up. There were five heads and bullets in his weapon just enough, so he immediately aimed and fired five shots in a row.
Pong pong pong pong...
After five shots, the five slowly fell to the ground.
“Does the target reach? Is he dead?" At that moment, a voice came from the earpiece that one of the dead men was wearing. But no one else can answer.
The others in the power room immediately found out something was wrong after not hearing the answer, and they immediately said to the other assassins waiting in the upstairs corridor near the stairs, “Good and check, please, I heard gunshots but no one answered. Go and check if the target falls.”
The two assassins who were in the corridor received the message and immediately ran. When they reached Xu Cheng's room, they saw one of their men lying on the floor near the door. That man was shot in the head. An assassin immediately said through his microphone, “Light the light.”
The people in the electric room immediately turned on the power switch for Xu Cheng's unit. The two assassins saw the eight bodies of their men lying everywhere in the room, and they immediately reported back, “Our people are all dead, ' he said, hurry up and send more people to the top!”
The two of them finished talking frantically, and Xu Cheng was already behind the two newcomers and pierced their necks with a knife, making them faint.
Then, he retrieves two pistols from the two assassins, finding that both guns are fully loaded. He left his unit right after and headed for the stairs.
The four assassins waiting below had no time to think too much more. They immediately climbed the stairs from both sides in pairs.
Xu Cheng had prepared his gun as he casually walked down the stairs. Seeing that the two assassins were only one floor away from him, he sat on the stairs to wait for them. The two assassins ran over in a hurry and when they saw Xu Cheng as they passed the corner, they were both terrified. They instinctively grabbed his weapon as they were still trying to pretend to be passers-by, hoping that Xu Cheng would not realize that they were also assassins.
A normal person might not, but Xu Cheng had already clearly seen the weapon on their waist.
With two quick shots, the palms of the two assassins trying to grab the gun were instantly shot, and they could only cry out miserably.
Xu Cheng kicked the two of them, walked up to them, picked up a weapon, and dismantled the two. Then, he broke the hands of the two men, not letting them reassemble his weapon.
Chapter 137: Incredible (Part two)
Perhaps hearing all the noise, the pair of assassins at the other end immediately ran through the corridor towards the stairs where Xu Cheng was. Xu Cheng indifferently stood by the door, and as the two assassins ran past them towards the stairs, he shot the legs of the two of them from behind.
Both men lost their balance after being shot and fell to the ground. When they tried to turn around and shoot towards Xu Cheng, he had already pulled the trigger again and fired a weapon at their hands!
Both of them still wanted to fight back, Xu Cheng just kicked one of them and then punched the other in the face, making the two faint.
After all that, Xu Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief and went down the stairs.
When he reached the condo lobby, Ran Jing's backup force also arrived. Some of them immediately saluted when they saw him. “Captain Xu, are you okay?”
Xu Cheng gestured with his head for them to enter.
The officers nodded and climbed the stairs.
“Xu Cheng, are you okay?” Shen Yao and Ran Jing crossed the warning line and immediately asked Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng nodded his head. "Everything's good."
Ran Jing looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Everything's taken care of?"
Xu Cheng nodded again. “The first wave did happen, but I don't know if they will ship more in the future.”
“Sial, these guys are too wild!” Ran Jing muttered, “Do they think they are lawless or something? Are they now officially declaring war against the police?”
“Why didn't you tell me there was a danger? I even packed all my stuff, now I'm embarrassed.” Shen Yao scolded Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly. “I know you like to party, so you won't leave until I kick you out. But it's good you're done packing as well, we still don't know if they'll send more people so you have to find another place to stay for a while.”
Shen Yao looked at him and said, “Then you can return to my house for a while, we have a very professional security guard so it is very safe. Since you let me stay at your place for so long, take this as my gratitude by inviting you to my place.”
Ran Jing agreed, “Ya, just listen to Yaoyao and stay at her house for a while.”
Shen Yao: “You should also join. You obviously can't stay in this place either. Before Gates' fourth case ends, you two have to move to my place. Later, you can find another place after all this is done.”
Xu Cheng: “Will your parents be okay?”
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows. “If they dare to argue, I will never come back again.”
Ran Jing: “Alright, take Xu Cheng back first. I have to stay put to clean up the mess and write a report.”
Xu Cheng and Shen Yao nodded then left.
Ran Jing turned around and went to the scene. Currently, the entire condo is locked down and all suspicious personnel are arrested. Seeing him coming, the officer in charge reported, “Captain Ran, we still need to repair his elevator.”
Ran Jing nodded. “No civilians injured, right?”
Officer: “Not really, but Captain Ran, you just spoke to Captain Xu, is he okay? Was he not hurt or what?”
Ran Jing was curious. “Why did you ask?”
Officer: “This time there are 15 people in total, and now there are 9 people killed and 6 people alive. But of the 9 people who died, two people died due to being stabbed by a fruit knife in the throat, 7 people died from being shot in the head with high precision. Not a single bullet was wasted, it was really a single shot of one kill. It's too hard to believe.”.
Chapter 138: Shen Wansan (Part one)
This was the first time Xu Cheng had gone to Shen Yao's place. The place is in one of the luxury villa neighborhoods in the city. He had also never seen Shen Yao's father before, but his boss was definitely not a simple person, as the West Gate did not dare to offend the Shen Family either.
Shen Yao's sports car arrived at the doorstep. The maid opened the electronic door, and she was overjoyed to see Shen Yao. “Money is Young, you're back! Ah, I have to tell her master!”
“No need,” Shen Yao said weakly, but the waiter stayed inside and called Boss Shen.
The car was parked in a garage with dozens of other famous cars, all limited edition cars that his father bought for his birthday. However, ever since Shen Yao's elder brother died from a tragic accident, he had also left this house. He hasn't driven that car in a long time.
Shen Yao brought Xu Cheng to the main hall. The entire villa is huge, with a private garden as well as an indoor pool. After entering, Xu Cheng noticed Shen Yao looking around, so he asked curiously, “When did you last return? Looks like you don't recognize your own home anymore.”
“Since I got a career that can support myself, I have rarely come back.” Shen Yao sighed, then she looked towards the nanny at home and said, “Aunt Liu, can you prepare two guest rooms for my friends? They will stay here for the next few days.”
Aunt Liu nodded and went upstairs.
“You better sit down first, I'll take a shower first.” Shen Yao smiled at Xu Cheng and then climbed into the bedroom that she had not returned for years.
The servant poured her a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng was extremely bored as he sat on the sofa in the living room. Not long after, a Maybach entered the gate, and before the outgoing driver had opened the door for his boss, a middle-aged man with a distended stomach immediately ran in.
"Daughter!"
However, he did not directly look at Shen Yao after entering, instead seeing Xu Cheng sitting on the sofa. Then, a sense of alertness immediately appeared in his heart. The feeling that her baby daughter would be stolen by someone.
He narrowed his eyes and examined Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng also examined him.
Shen Yao's father did not rush to talk to Xu Cheng first but directly asked his servant, “This?”
Xu Cheng did not wait for the maid to reply and said, “I am a friend of Shen Yao.”
“Friends?” Boss Shen's face instantly turned dark as he asked, “Ordinary friend or.”.
“Ordinary friend,” Xu Cheng replied.
"Ah, really?" Boss Shen snorted. “My daughter has never brought a man home, are you really just an ordinary friend to her?”
Xu Cheng nodded.
"What's your name?" Boss Shen asked.
“Xu Cheng,” Xu Cheng replied, neither arrogant nor humble.
Boss Shen nodded, then he immediately asked the waiter, “Where is my daughter?”
Boss Shen sighed and sat down on the sofa. He still could not help but examine Xu Cheng further. After a while, she seemed to be muttering to herself, “It seems like my daughter is still mad at me. First time back after so many years, and she instantly brought home a man.”
Speaking of this, she suddenly looked up, her sharp eyes interrogating Xu Cheng as she directly asked, “Nak, are you thinking of seducing my daughter?”
Xu Cheng did not answer directly. He lifted his teacup and took some time to sip it. Only after slowly enjoying it did he faintly look back at Boss Shen and ask, “Master. Shen, what makes you say that?”
Chapter 138: Shen Wansan (Part two)
“Currently, who doesn't know that my baby girl is only left after my eldest son dies? In the future, he will definitely be the heir to my entire fortune. Just that, isn't it tempting enough for you to seduce my daughter?” Boss Shen snorted.
Xu Cheng smiled faintly. He put down his cup, looked towards Boss Shen, and said, “I can understand your concerns about your deceived daughter, I'm afraid, and I can understand that you suspect someone else is approaching your daughter with ulterior motives. But, I also realized why Shen Yao did not have many male friends. Mr Shen, have you ever thought that being so wary of the people around him would make him feel like a flower in the greenhouse? Did you know that she also wants to go and see the outside world?”
Boss Shen: “What qualifications do you have to dare to speak to me like this? Did you teach me how to raise my own daughter?”
Xu Cheng smiled politely. “I just want to remind you as his friend.”
“Son, there is no pure friendship between man and woman. I don't care what your motives are behind approaching my daughter, but you should stop while you can. Don't wait until I do something crazy to protect my daughter.”
“Shen Wansan! Now I know why you always have no real friends.” Right now, standing near the stairs, Shen Yao had already changed into clothes.
Xu Cheng had just sipped on it again when he directly sprayed his tea after hearing the name “Shen Wansan”. (Note TL: The direct translation of Wansan is ten thousand three.)
Shen Wansan looked at her baby daughter's darkening face and immediately smiled awkwardly as she tried to lick her daughter, “My baby, you are finally willing to come back to see me now?”
Shen Yao rolled her eyes at him and snorted. Then, he walked over and introduced her to Xu Cheng, “This is my father, Shen Wansan.”
Later, he also introduced Xu Cheng to his father, “This is my friend, Xu Cheng. I also have a good girlfriend who will also be staying with us. Shen Wansan, if my friends feel uncomfortable staying here for the next few days, then I really won't return to this house again.”
Shen Wansan immediately replied, “Of course! They will feel comfortable. If anyone dares not please our guests, then I will fire them!”
Then, he looked around at the dozen maids and said, “Understand?”
“Yes, Sir,” a dozen waiters bowed and replied.
Shen Yao then looked towards Xu Cheng and said, “My father can be very troublesome, I hope you can understand.”
Xu Cheng awkwardly laughed and said, “Everything is fine, Uncle Shen is just doing his duty as a father. But, is Uncle Shen really named Shen Wansan?”
Shen Yao looked at her father from the corner of her eyes and said, “It was a new name that she adopted after going to the fortune teller. He said something like being able to get very rich with those numbers in his name.”
Speaking of this, Shen Yao sinisterly smiled bitterly. “So, he made a lot of money, but he lost his beloved daughter and son. In the end, the house is so big with no purpose, and only icy.”
A hint of guilt flashed across Shen Wansan's face. “Yaoyao..”.
“So much, I won't bring up the past. Let's go, I'll show you your room.” Shen Yao did not seem to want to spend more time with her father, so she dragged Xu Cheng up.
In the middle of the road, he said to Aunt Liu, “My friend Ran Jing will be coming soon, you can directly bring her up.”
Aunt Liu nodded.
After Xu Cheng and Shen Yao boarded, Shen Wansan said to the driver, “Go and check the background of the brat who came with my daughter. Why didn't you tell me when this weird guy showed up in his life?”
The driver awkwardly replied, “Bos, didn't you tell us to stop watching him because you were afraid that Young Madam was angry? We were also afraid that Young Madam would not come home again if she was angry, so we stopped looking after her.”.
Chapter 139: The Xu Cheng (Part one)
Ran Jing followed the address Shen Yao gave her over the phone and found the Shen Family Villa. The waiter asked her name and then opened the door. As Ran Jing drove her car, she saw how beautiful and luxurious the villa was. He could not help but comment, “Ck ck, why he left the life of this rich heir to feel the feeling of flying.”
After he entered, he saw Shen Wansan sitting on the sofa in the living room. Although Xu Cheng did not know Shen Wansan, Ran Jing could recognize a big character like him. He immediately walked over and greeted, “Halo, President Shen.”
"You?"
“Friends Shen Yao.” Ran Jing handed her business card.
Upon seeing Ran Jing's position, Shen Wansan's eyes immediately sparkled with a hint of excitement. It seems like her baby daughter is not surrounded by a second-generation rich heir; she is actually befriended by the captain of a professional criminal investigation unit. He's a little surprised.
“Since you are Yaoyao's friend, just call me Uncle Shen from now on. You don't matter if I call you Little Jing, do you?” Shen Wansan smiled and said. (TL Note: adding a little in front of the first name is a common way to call juniors)
“No problem, my parents also called me that,” replied Ran Jing politely.
Shen Wansan nodded, then she suspiciously looked at him and asked, Little “Jing, then did you know it was Xu Cheng?”
"Yes." Yeah." Ran Jing nodded.
“Did he like my Yaoyao or something? Little Jing, don't blame Uncle Shen for having a big mouth, but as a father, I only have one baby girl, she said, and I was always worried there might be unscrupulous men around Yaoyao who cheated her feelings.”
Ran Jing chuckled. “Uncle Shen, I don't know if Xu Cheng likes Yaoyao or not, but Yaoyao likes Xu Cheng. Oh right, Yaoyao is not a simple girl either. He may inherit from you, he is much more cunning than you think, like little fox”
“Who are you calling a fox, how can you say such a thing behind me?” Just then, Shen Yao appeared near the stairs. He was worried that his father would trouble his friend with more questions, so he waited. “Quick, you can go up.”
“Uncle Shen, then I will ride first.” Ran Jing immediately said to Shen Wansan and left, leaving Shen Wansan who was sitting there, becoming more anxious than ever.
Whahuh?
My daughter likes that guy?
The man was not handsome, and it seemed like he was also quite arrogant. What about him who caught my daughter's attention?
Just as he was frowning and worried, his driver, who was also his bodyguard, came up with a stack of documents and said, “Bos, I don't need to do too much research to find this. You've probably heard of the four unlucky Gates recently, haven't you?
Shen Wansan nodded, frowning as she said, “This guy is a thug?”
Driver: “Not at all.”
Shen Wansan looked at the driver from the corner of his eye. “Can you say what you want to say directly? Are you the boss or am I the boss? Just get it all out, why fart but be held in half? What do you keep it for?”
The driver laughed awkwardly. “He's not a thug, but a thug's nemesis. Just like Miss Ran Jing before, she's a cop.”
"Police?" Shen Wansan frowned again. “What's the title? What the hell is he doing? How's reputation? Don't tell me he's a child cop who wants to use my name to move up the ranks.”
“PositionCaptain Team 2 Bareskrim. It wasn't very high in the police system as a whole, so compared to Miss Shen, she was an overachiever. Just a month ago he was still a patrolman,” the driver said.
Chapter 139: The Xu Cheng (Part two)
Shen Wansan slapped the table, and her face said, “I know it!” written entirely. “This guy wants to use my daughter to help him advance his career? Shameless!”
The driver is no ordinary driver. To be able to remain Shen Wansan's bodyguard for so many years, he must have some ability. He is a retired special forces member, so his views and opinions are also worth considering.
“Bos, I think you might be wrong about him.”
"Wrong?" Shen Wansan lifted her head, looked at her bodyguard, and said, “What do you mean?”
The driver said, “The written information I received was limited, but what I heard was hard to believe.”
Shen Wansan's entire face was drowned. “Do you hold it again? Quickly and spill it all at once.”
The driver awkwardly coughed and continued, “A month ago, he reported to serve as a patrol officer, saying, but he could be promoted to Headquarters within 2 weeks and report directly as Team 2 captain. Boss, you're not familiar with the police rank system yet so you clearly don't know how difficult it is to get promoted. Not to mention the difficulty of rising from a patrol officer to a criminal police officer, or even to be able to directly become a captain. This is basically impossible unless you have years of experience. But, Xu Cheng did it. He has a strong background, or he is very good at something. At first I thought he was riding for the first reason, but after that, I heard from someone in the police circle that it was the last reason. Boss, do you still remember half a month ago when the North Gate was provoked, and in the end, the,
Shen Wansan nodded. “Yes, I heard Mr. Yan's Gate died, the North Gate collapsed, and the city re-planned and implemented a new construction plan for the old area monopolized by the North Gate. Most of the praise was given to the police who defeated Gate Master Yan.”
Driver: “Ya, and the person who killed Gate Master Yan was given the title of Tiger of the Police. That person was Xu Cheng!”
Shen Wansan's body immediately shivered. "You sure?"
The driver nodded. “I'm sure. He knocked down the North Gate, so he could instantly become the captain of the criminal investigation department team.”
Shen Wansan immediately felt that she was too quick in judging and too rude to Xu Cheng before, and she immediately coughed and snorted, “She might just be lucky. I think captaining the team in the criminal investigation department will be the pinnacle of his career.”
The driver laughed bitterly. “Unfortunately not.”
Shen Wansan narrowed her eyes.
The driver continued. “People might have thought Xu Cheng was lucky in the case of the North Gate, but others did witness his fighting abilities. Plus how the West Gate was knocked down after being caught washing money, Xu Cheng also showed his intellectual side to everyone.”
Shen Wansan: “What does the West Gate case have to do with him?”
“New two weeks ago, the money laundering investigation was officially handed over to Team 2, and in just over a week, the, against a target where Team 5 was unable to make any breakthrough after almost half a year, Xu Cheng directly led Team 2 and smashed the West Gate all the way to his current dying state. Now, four West Gate leaders were arrested, more than 3 billion dollars in cash was seized, and the largest casino under the West Gate was also seized. Almost all the core members of the West Gate are now drinking tea at the police station from the sudden raid, Boss, and he only used one week!”
Then, the driver looked at Shen Wansan strangely and said, “Then it is not difficult to guess why Xu Cheng came here. He may try to avoid trouble and backlash, as the case of the West Gate does involve many other powers.”
Shen Wansan was just sitting there, a bit empty, her mouth felt a little dry. “Are you sure the Xu Cheng you are talking about is Xu Cheng who is in my house right now?”
The driver nodded. “I can confirm that it is Xu Cheng because of Ran Jing. Both are co-workers.”
Chapter 140: As Your Senior, I Can Give You Some Hints (Part One)
Shen Wansan was stunned for a moment until she coughed and said, “Even if he is a tiger from the police force, he is just a captain of the small team! He must have had an ulterior motive for approaching my daughter! She's not someone with power or money, and my daughter has nothing but money. I can clearly see his intention.”
Then, he looked towards his driver and asked, “Didn't you say that you were a guard-class soldier before you retired? So can you defeat Xu Cheng?”
The driver also has pride. Hearing his boss say that, he immediately sneered, “Bos, you comparing me to him is already an insult to me.”
"Oh?" Shen Wansan inevitably looked at him again with a hint of respect. “Omong by the way, I hired you to be my driver and bodyguard for many years but never saw your true strength. On a typical day, you seem to be able to easily handle some thugs or bullies, but I don't think that's your limit, do you?”
The driver raised 4 fingers and said proudly written all over his face, “40%. Usually, I never use more than 40% of my strength. Boss, you may not be familiar with the concept of a guard-class warrior. Every 5 years, officials will select the best soldiers from 36 military regions across the country. The 36 soldiers will be guardians to follow and protect state officials in Jing City. These 36 people were carefully selected from their military territory, and they were much stronger than special forces soldiers in general. Stronger in what aspects? In all aspects of individual combat capabilities. It also means, You are very lucky to have found me. I'm not bragging, but I'm one of the 36 people selected.”
Shen Wansan looked at him while bragging and said, “Ck ck, you said all that, did you ask for a raise? Since there are 36 guards, then among those 36, you are at what rank?”
The driver proudly replied, “I am in the top 10.”
Shen Wansan looked at him and asked, “You have never exchanged moves with Xu Cheng before, how do you know he is not your opponent?”
“Is there a need? Boss, you don't know this, but all guard-class warriors should at least be masters at level A. Although my level may have decreased slightly due to the lack of high-intensity exercise over the past few years, not just anyone can compare to me. I think Xu Cheng is pretty good, but compared to my assessment of the old man of the North Gate, I think Xu Cheng is at best a level B fighter. To deal with it, I am still 80% sure I can win.”
Shen Wansan nodded. “If that's the case, fight him later. Teach him that it is best for the younger generation to remain humble.”
The driver nodded. "OKAY. But Boss, he's a guest of Young Madam, isn't that an exaggeration? Young Madam also said that if we don't treat her guests well lately, she will run away from home again.”
Shen Wansan glared at the driver. “Do you think I still don't recognize my daughter? Right now, I'm his only family and he's also my only family, do you think he could leave me? He's just bluffing. Besides, I didn't tell you to beat up that guy. I just want you to teach him that there are stronger fighters than him in this world and to be humble. You don't see how he looked at me when I came in, it's definitely not the respect a young person should have towards an older person. This Xu Cheng had no background or money, so he must have been extremely arrogant due to his fighting abilities. Then let's defeat him first to reduce his arrogance.”
Upstairs, after checking the room, Ran Jing walked over to Xu Cheng's side and whispered, “Did you offend Boss Shen?”
Xu Cheng said with a wry smile, “As long as there is a man beside his daughter, I don't think he will show a good face. How am I supposed to deal with it when she already sees me as someone who seduces her daughter with ulterior motives before I can open my mouth?”
Chapter 140: As Your Senior, I Can Give You Some Hints (Part two)
Then, the two of them followed Shen Yao down the stairs. It's still morning so it's rude if they don't talk to the head of the household, Shen Wansan. Shen Yao went downstairs and introduced the newcomer to her father, “Dad, this is also my good friend, Ran Jing. He works at the police headquarters.”
“We should talk early.” Shen Wansan was still quite friendly with Ran Jing, as she was a friend of the same sex as Shen Yao and was very accomplished. Besides, Ran Jing was also very polite.
However, Shen Wansan did not look too friendly, or she was even willing to look at him, when she saw Xu Cheng in his house.
“Please sit down, Xu Cheng. Don't mind my dad.” Shen Yao dragged Xu Cheng down to sit on the sofa.
Just then, Shen Wansan pretended to raise the teacup to take a sip of it, while giving the driver a secret look.
After receiving the signal, the driver coughed, then casually asked, “Pak. Xu Cheng, are you from the military?”
Xu Cheng looked at the driver and nodded. “Ya, and by the way, technically you are my senior.”
The driver narrowed his eyes. “How did you know I was also from the military?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Posture your body when standing. Only soldiers have such strict self-discipline, and if you are able to hold on to such iron-like discipline it means you are not from a simple unit.”
Shen Wansan and his driver exchanged glances. They had to admit, Xu Cheng was a pretty sharp observer.
The driver laughed and said, “I am indeed from the military, but I cannot say that I am from a high-ranking unit. But YOU, you definitely have a bright future ahead of you. However, I am quite curious, with your strength and age, you should not retire at this time. Why did you decide to quit the military and work here?”
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly. “I didn't retire, but something happened so I took a few months off for a while and worked here as a police officer. I will still be back in the future.”
The driver sighed, “I don't know how the current state of the military territory is because I've long since retired. I don't know if new recruits are getting better every year or worse. But I heard last year at the G20 Gathering Special Forces Competition, our country is back behind. I'm quite worried, the new member seems quite spoiled.”
Shen Wansan coughed and said, “Isn't there a new recruit before you? Seeing how Xu Cheng could figure out Wen Zhao's identity, it meant that he was not a simple character either. Besides, we heard that you also defeated the boss of the North Gate, and I'm actually curious to see your abilities. To be honest, ever since I recruited my driver, who was also my bodyguard, I had never seen his true strength before. Since I am usually very humble and do not often make enemies, of course my problems are less. Too bad my bodyguard only has a little chance to hone his skills.”
After hearing this, the clever Shen Yao immediately snorted and interjected, "Dad, what are you planning to do again?"
Ran Jing laughed and looked at Xu Cheng strangely. His expression seemed to say, “See, he is looking for trouble now.”
Xu Cheng naturally understood the message in Ran Jing's look. He smiled thinly. “I was lucky in the fight against Gate Master Yan. You are an elder brother to me, it would not be polite if I fought you.”
Wen Zhao laughed. “We are real men, let's be more real. According to the rules in the military, you have to fight for several rounds, right? I heard that you recently also offended the West Gate, and always hiding here from the problem is not a long-term solution. As your senior in the military, maybe I can give you some pointers.”
