229: Chapter 229 Chen Yuan is back!

"Alright!"

Zhou Lingyun nodded slowly and stepped out for a moment.

When she returned, she looked at Qiao Yingzi with a gaze full of gravity, lowering her head and speaking respectfully, "Officer Qiao!"

Qiao Yingzi kept a stern face. "You are now under President Qin's jurisdiction. Your direct superior is President Qin!"

Zhou Lingyun turned her head to look at Qin Ge.

Her heart felt a sense of helplessness, but also relief.

However, coming from a military background, absolute obedience was her primary tenet.

Not needing to arrest Qin Ge also happened to save her from extreme internal conflict.

She looked at Qin Ge and asked suspiciously, "President Qin, with your strength, you shouldn't need me to protect you, right?"

An Hao was such a terrifying monster that even she and eight Cyborgs combined were no match for him.

Yet Qin Ge had crushed him with a single stomp.

If anyone needed protecting, it should be Qin Ge protecting her.

This time, if not for Qin Ge's protection, she likely would have died at the hands of that Sect expert.

"I naturally don't need your protection, but my girlfriend lacks the protection of experts like you."

Qin Ge glanced at Lin Xiaojin, then looked back at Zhou Lingyun with a light smile. "From today onwards, you will take on the role of Xiao Jin's bodyguard."

Zhou Lingyun looked at Lin Xiaojin sitting in Qin Ge's lap and nodded. "Understood!"

As Lin Xiaojin spoke about going to work, Zhou Lingyun followed her out.

Qiao Yingzi then stepped forward and spoke slowly, "President Qin, it seems Chen Yuan, who was over in Sakura, has received some news and returned to the country. He's currently at the Yunhai City airport."

"I know."

A smile played on Qin Ge's lips as his fingers rhythmically tapped the dining table.

The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and Chen Yuan thinks he's capable again.

Previously, Chen Yuan had been so frightened by him that he fled to Sakura. But after learning from his Third Senior Sister that Dantai Qingyue had appeared in Yunhai City and met with Qin Ge...

His confidence had returned in full. He was planning a return to his Peak to wash away his previous humiliation!

Qiao Yingzi tentatively made a throat-slitting gesture. "Should I go secretly and..."

"No need for you to act." Qin Ge shook his head.

Setting aside that Chen Yuan's strength was no longer what it used to be and had made great progress, Qiao Yingzi, with her two thousand points of constitution, might not necessarily be his match now.

Just the existence of a 'game-breaking' character like Dantai Qingyue alone destined that Qiao Yingzi could not kill Chen Yuan.

To take down Chen Yuan, Dantai Qingyue was an important factor that could not be ignored.

However, it was precisely Chen Yuan's disappearance during this period...

That allowed him to develop deep feelings with Luo Li and the other girls.

Dantai Qingyue is protective of her own?

He wanted to see exactly what choice Dantai Qingyue would make between Chen Yuan and the five girls, including Luo Li!

Qiao Yingzi bit her lip and asked in confusion, "Then what should we do?"

"Just wait patiently. Wait for Chen Yuan to come to our door!"

Qin Ge pinched his chin, where stubble was just beginning to sprout, with great interest.

He hadn't placed Zhou Lingyun by Lin Xiaojin's side on a whim.

He had a plan.

Firstly, it could block the established path of fate, depriving the new Child of Destiny, Lin Yu, of this Daughter of Destiny who provided immense help in the early stages.

Secondly, Zhou Lingyun was a hothead!

Never mind Chen Yuan and his Third Senior Sister, even if it were Zhuang Tianya.

No, that's not right!

Even if it were a game-breaking existence like Dantai Qingyue, if she did something wrong, Zhou Lingyun would dare to rush up and point at her nose to scold her.

This 'iron-headed' girl was truly the type who wasn't afraid of death!

"Have the informants keep a close eye on Lin Yu's movements! Report to me at any time!"

Qin Ge glanced at Qiao Yingzi, giving orders in an orderly fashion.

...

On the other side, downstairs at the Qin Yun Tian Cheng office building, Chen Yuan was dressed in a sharp suit with his hair combed meticulously. He was leaning against the curtain wall, waiting expectantly.

When he saw Lin Xiaojin walking over in a small white dress under the sunlight, looking so fair she seemed translucent, he immediately rushed over.

"Chen Yuan!?"

Lin Xiaojin was startled by Chen Yuan's sudden appearance and stumbled back a few steps.

She never expected that Chen Yuan, who hadn't appeared for a long time, would suddenly show up in front of her.

With deep confidence in his eyes and looking high-spirited, Chen Yuan said, "Lin Xiaojin, I'd like to invite you for a cup of coffee."

"I don't have time." Lin Xiaojin shook her head. "I'm going to work!"

She tried to walk around Chen Yuan,

But Chen Yuan was like a piece of sticky candy, blocking Lin Xiaojin again. He explained with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to harass you. I want to recruit you to my company."

He took a gold-embossed business card from his suit pocket and introduced himself, "I am now the Chairman of the Dragon Kingdom branch of Yingfen Investment. I highly value your work ability and want to hire you as our company's General Manager."

Returning to his homeland, Chen Yuan thought back to everything he had done before and shook his head in disgust.

When he first came down from the mountain, he was like a green recruit.

Setting aside the difference in strength,

Qin Ge was a company chairman, while he was just a lowly bodyguard.

Anyone would have chosen Qin Ge over him!

But now times had changed, and everything was different.

While in Sakura, he had saved the President of Yingfen Investment by chance, and later resolved many commercial enemies for the President!

Ultimately, he was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of being the Chairman of the Dragon Kingdom branch.

The President even wanted to marry his daughter to him!

If it weren't for the fact that the President's daughter was a 'human tank' like Big Bertha, truly unbearable to look at...

He might have been raising children in Sakura by now!

From the moment he saw that 'human tank,' Chen Yuan realized what that mysterious feeling of loss after leaving the Dragon Kingdom meant.

His confidence and pride had been smashed to pieces by Qin Ge in Yunhai City.

He became hesitant in everything he did, fearing that a Qin Ge would jump out of the bushes and give him a beating.

It was this state of muddle-headedness that cast a shadow over his heart.

Even his luck was not as good as before.

Therefore, upon hearing that his Revered Master had come to Yunhai City and intimidated Qin Ge, he returned to Yunhai without delay.

He wanted to snatch back everything that once belonged to him from Qin Ge's hands.

Not for anything else,

But simply to find his original confidence and pride again.

And stealing Lin Xiaojin away was the clarion call for his counterattack against Qin Ge!

"Lin Xiaojin, don't leave! I'm serious about wanting to hire you as General Manager. If you stay at Qin Yun Tian Cheng, you'll be a lowly employee your whole life, and your future will be bleak!"

Coming back to his senses, Chen Yuan saw that Lin Xiaojin had already walked far away and quickly chased after her.

Lin Xiaojin picked up her pace without looking back and jogged into the building's revolving door.

Since Qin Ge wasn't by her side, she didn't want to say a single word more to Chen Yuan.

She was afraid this guy would get worked up and grab her hand or block her way.

Since she had already chosen Qin Ge, she naturally couldn't have any overly close contact with other men!

"Xiao Jin!"

Chen Yuan followed closely behind,

When suddenly a black silhouette blocked his path.

"Who are you?"

Chen Yuan looked up. Seeing Zhou Lingyun in front of him, dressed in tight leather clothes that covered her completely yet made her curvaceous figure even more exquisite, a flash of amazement couldn't help but bloom in his eyes.

He once again held out his gold-embossed business card and introduced himself, "Hello, I am Chen Yuan, the Chairman of the Dragon Kingdom branch of Yingfen Investment."

In his view, Qin Ge's past success with women was nothing more than relying on his status as a company chairman.

Being handsome and wealthy was Qin Ge's trademark.

Now, he was too.

To be honest, the moment he handed out his business card in front of a beautiful woman, the feeling was truly exhilarating!

Zhou Lingyun looked down, withdrew her gaze from the gold-embossed business card, then raised her cold eyes to stare at Chen Yuan, her eyes full of disgust and contempt. "You, a person of the Dragon Kingdom, with no need to struggle for food and no hidden troubles, are actually feeling smug about earning our Dragon Kingdom's money for Yingfen Investment?!"
