28: Chapter 27 Two New Colleagues 28: Chapter 27 Two New Colleagues Yue Yao watched as Han Lingyue and Chu Yi’s relationship grew increasingly intimate, and worry filled her heart.

After being sent away, she finally couldn’t resist calling Han Likuo.

“Chairman, about this situation,” she hesitated.

“Do you think we should replace Chu Yi?”

Han Likuo chuckled.

“Why would we replace him?”

Yue Yao was taken aback.

Then she heard Han Likuo continue, “Let the young people be.

Besides, Chu Yi is quite capable.

Even if something happens, it wouldn’t be bad.

At least I wouldn’t have to worry about Lingyue’s safety anymore.”

Yue Yao’s mouth twitched.

Is this really okay?

Aren’t fathers supposed to look at every boy who gets close to their daughter as if they are looking at a pig?

How can you be so open-minded!

Though she couldn’t understand his reasoning, Yue Yao didn’t presume to overstep her bounds anymore.

The father had spoken, so what else was there for her to worry about?

“Alright, Chairman, I understand.”

“Hmm,” Han Likuo grunted, then added, “By the way, Yue Yao, the security equipment I ordered has just arrived at the company.

Go take care of it.

And there are also two female bodyguards from the Wei Family in Beidu; have them stay with Lingyue.”

“Got it!”

Yue Yao was fully at ease.

The Chairman has it all figured out.

With those two bodyguards around, that guy won’t be able to make any moves!

With this thought, she immediately went to the company.

After receiving two trucks full of security equipment, she met the two Wei Family descendants.

Both were around one meter seventy, with somewhat rough skin and a broad build, especially their hands, which were cracked like dry earth, covered with scars big and small.

They were far from beautiful, not even particularly feminine, looking more masculine than some men.

Yue Yao felt a shiver when she met their stern gazes.

“As expected of the Wei Family…”

The Wei family of Beidu was different from other prestigious families.

This family had, since ancient times, adopted the philosophy of learning both literary and martial arts to serve the imperial family.

In ancient times, male members of the Wei Family served as the Emperor’s personal Imperial Guards, while the women were concubines trained in combat.

In modern times, the situation was much the same, with Wei family members serving as bodyguards to important figures, generally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

“Hello, my name is Yue Yao, the Chairman’s secretary.”

As Yue Yao shook hands with them, she heard them introduce themselves: “Hello, I’m Wei Mei, and this is my sister, Wei Lan.”

After some small talk, Yue Yao eagerly led them to the car.

She was suddenly looking forward to seeing Chu Yi’s reaction when he met Wei Mei and Wei Lan.

After all, these two women were not inferior to him in height or physique!

Thinking of the astonished expression Chu Yi might show, the corners of Yue Yao’s lips couldn’t help but lift slightly.

“This is the place; let’s get out.”

Returning home, Yue Yao took the two upstairs, while the workers began unloading the security equipment from the trucks.

“Come in, from now on this will be your…

uh…”

Yue Yao pushed open the door, speaking warmly to the Wei sisters, when she suddenly paused.

In her line of sight, Han Lingyue was half-kneeling on the ground, her body deeply arching backward, her curves taut.

Chu Yi was standing in front of her, pressing down on her shoulders, his body almost pressing against hers…

When they heard the door open, both of them looked over simultaneously.

Chu Yi was unfazed; it was just an interruption, something to which he was accustomed.

But Han Lingyue was taken aback.

“Yue Yao, how did you come back so quickly?” she exclaimed.

As she spoke, she immediately tried to stand up.

But because of their peculiar position, as she thrust her body up, her head slammed right into the lower part of Chu Yi’s chest.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat charged.

“Ah!”

Han Lingyue cried out, her face flushed red as she scrambled out from under Chu Yi.

She was about to ask what he had in his pocket when she suddenly realized…

Yue Yao’s mouth twitched, and out of consideration, she didn’t bring the topic up again.

Instead, she introduced, “Lingyue, these are Wei Mei and Wei Lan, the personal bodyguards Chairman assigned for you.

They’ll live with you from now on, and will also protect you alongside Chu Yi.”

Han Lingyue covered her face, nodding at them as a greeting.

Chu Yi, however, raised his eyebrows and asked nonchalantly, “From the Wei Family in Beidu?”

“Mhm.”

Wei Mei and Wei Lan responded somewhat unkindly.

They didn’t have a good first impression of Chu Yi, to put it mildly, in fact, it was downright bad!

As bodyguards, how could you take advantage of your employer?!

And as a man, how could you be so frivolous with a girl?

Pah!

Both did not bother to hide a trace of disdain.

Chu Yi, as if he hadn’t noticed, said with interest, “I’ve long heard of the great name of the Wei Family from Beidu.

From ancient times until now, they’ve stood for loyalty and bravery.

The men are outstanding and the women equally formidable, creating the renowned dictum ‘those protected by the Wei Family cannot be harmed.’ Impressive!”

Upon hearing this, Wei Mei and Wei Lan couldn’t help but lift their chins proudly.

That comment hit right where it mattered.

The Wei Family’s most laudable trait was indeed their reputation encapsulated by the phrase ‘those protected by the Wei Family cannot be harmed,’—a prestige built on generations of the Wei Family’s life-or-death dedication.

Only now, that prestige had turned into becoming an exemplary enterprise of the year…

“Since you know about the Wei Family, from which influential family do you come?”

“I’m not from any family; I came down from the mountain.”

“The mountain?”

“Qingcang Mountain.”

At these three words, Wei Mei and Wei Lan immediately widened their eyes, “Are you the disciple of the senior Lin Qingying?”

Chu Yi scratched his head.

Why did it feel like his master had been up to quite a few things in secret down the mountain…

“Yep.”

“My apologies!”

Both Wei Mei and Wei Lan bowed their fists in respect, a gesture that, nowadays, seemed rather peculiar to onlookers.

Chu Yi, however, returned the gesture quite naturally.

Watching the three of them suddenly getting along, Yue Yao’s eyes twitched unexpectedly.

This wasn’t right!

They hadn’t even had a standoff, and what was with this mutual appreciation?

Most importantly, Chu Yi—how could he be so unsurprised?

These two seemed like they wouldn’t make it easy for him to mess around.

Yue Yao’s head was a mess.

Just then, the workers came in.

“Boss, should we install this equipment now?”

Yue Yao snapped back to reality, “Yes, install it now.”

“All righty!”

The workers began to get busy.

Installing covert surveillance in the hallways, switching the windows to bulletproof glass, replacing the doors with high-level security ones…

Besides these preventive measures, Chu Yi even spotted several handguns…

“You have these too?

Isn’t that a problem?”

Yue Yao tried to play it cool, “No, the Chairman has a special permit.”

“Can I take one too?”

“You can have one during work, but not when you’re away from Lingyue.”

“Then I just won’t leave…”

“Don’t even think about it!”
