Chapter 21: Chapter 20: Conversation

Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing, who seemed almost about to explode with anger, rubbed his nose, and quickly followed Wei Qingzhong out.

Chairman’s office.

Yang Chen sat opposite Wei Qingzhong.

Wei Qingzhong smiled bitterly at Yang Chen and said helplessly, "As you can see, my daughter has such a temper, but actually she’s hard-headed and soft-hearted. She’s truly very kind-hearted."

Yang Chen remained silent, taking a sip of the tea placed in front of him by the secretary, finding the taste quite good.

"As long as you can protect my daughter’s safety, money isn’t really an issue; I can even offer more! She’s my only daughter, her mother passed away early, and she’s my everything. Even if I have to give up my company, I can’t lose her. When I say that, do you understand?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "I completely understand. I also have a sister, so if the roles were reversed, I would understand that feeling of not wanting any harm to come to your loved ones."

"As long as you understand. Xueqing is now the executive president of our Shangdong Group, and she needs to make decisions for all the subsidiaries. To be honest, her ability surprised even me. Since joining the company, she has been making bold decisions, which sometimes makes me anxious. But the results have been excellent, much better than my cautious approach as an elder. Of course, that’s beside the point. Don’t you think that given the system and laws in our Flame Country, it’s redundant for me to hire a bodyguard for her?" Wei Qingzhong talked to Yang Chen like a kindly elder, his words very relaxed.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and only said one sentence: "The brighter the sun, the longer the shadow!"

"Well said!" Wei Qingzhong’s eyes showed approval. "You’re absolutely right. In business, it’s all about outsmarting each other, buying and selling, you grabbing from me, I from you. Especially during the early stages of capital accumulation, whose hands are clean? Offending people is inevitable. However, in all these years, I’ve seen all kinds of ups and downs. I’ve weathered all the feasts and famines of the Shangdong Group, and now I’m just an old man with nothing to fear. But my only worry is my daughter. Just a few days ago, I received an anonymous letter, threatening my daughter if I don’t release my shares!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen finally understood. His initial intuition was correct; Wei Qingzhong was certain of the danger to Wei Xueqing, which is why he immediately accepted when Yang Chen proposed a high price of a million.

"I pretty much know who my enemies are, but even when I report it and ask the security to investigate, they find no clues, so I can’t be sure of who it is. But regardless, this person is extremely cautious, leaving no trace, definitely premeditated. That’s why I urgently spread the word about hiring a bodyguard, thanks to Old Zhuo’s introduction of you," Wei Qingzhong said with some relief.

"So, Xiaoyang, I just want you to protect my daughter’s safety, compensation is not an issue. I’ll be willing to meet your needs to the greatest extent possible. Once I find that person, and my daughter is safe, I’ll give you five million all at once, how about that?" At this point, Wei Qingzhong no longer had the calmness or the deep insight of a group chairman. What he showed was just a father’s concern for his daughter.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said lightly, "Chairman, first, I’m very grateful for your trust in me and for advancing me a million, which is indeed life-saving money. Whether for money or gratitude, I owe you. I also said, one year, just one year, I can only protect Wei Xueqing for one year. Second, although I’m currently without money, I won’t renege on my promise or demand outrageous prices! Please respect me! Third, as long as I’m here, you can rest assured, no one can harm President Wei unless they step over my dead body! Fourth, I don’t need anything, but please cooperate with my work. I might have to take some necessary measures to ensure President Wei’s safety."

Although Yang Chen seemed a bit lazy, his expression and the way he spoke had an air of superiority and invincibility, which made Wei Qingzhong doubt whether the man before him was really a downcast ex-guard?

"What cooperation do you need?" Wei Qingzhong asked.

Yang Chen took out a cigarette, intending to smoke but suddenly realized this was the chairman’s office. He paused and looked at Wei Qingzhong.

"No problem, go ahead!" Wei Qingzhong placed a crystal ashtray in front of Yang Chen.

Feeling awkward about having the chairman serve him, Yang Chen smiled sheepishly.

But he still lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, exhaled the smoke, and said, "I’m not sure how long you stood at the door or how much you heard. What I want to say is, the reason President Wei argued with me is because I toured the room without her consent, intending to observe the office environment. First, the ventilation shaft is dangerous because it’s an office building’s shaft, all the ducts are quite large. Those movie scenes of entering through vents are not deceitful but achievable. If modern means were used, releasing gases via small robots in the office’s vents could easily kill, knock out, or poison someone. If neglected, someone could be taken directly from the vent with little difficulty. Second, while the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a great view, they also provide others with a good view of you. From five hundred yards away on a rooftop, a target could be locked instantly for a fatal shot!"

Crushing the cigarette in the ashtray, Yang Chen exhaled one final puff of smoke and said, "I told President Wei on the spot that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of ways to kill her silently in such a room! Taking people’s money to solve their problems, if they really are as professional as you say, I need to take some proactive precautions."

Wei Qingzhong beamed. Listening to that, he was almost entirely sure he’d found the right person! He also understood why Yang Chen told him that with his skills, even five million wouldn’t hire someone like him internationally.

That sentence revealed a lot of information, and he understood only two things for now: first, Yang Chen knows about international affairs; he’s not shortsighted. Second, Yang Chen has real skills, definitely worth the price!

It looks like he truly found a treasure!

Based on Yang Chen’s character and his conduct, Wei Qingzhong had complete peace of mind!

"Great! Whatever you need, I’ll have the secretary fully cooperate with you!" Wei Qingzhong immediately expressed.
