The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 28 Sleeping in a tent?
Zheng Li's face was flushed, and the veins in his neck were bulging. He felt like his hands no longer belonged to him; the only feeling he had was pain!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zheng Li didn't want to lose face, so he had to endure it. However, due to the intense pain, his body swayed involuntarily with the movement of Lin Chen's hand, and his originally straight back hunched over.

"Ha ha!"

Gu Yuexi, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

She had already sensed something was wrong; after all, how could two strange men shake hands so tightly for so long?
She was originally going to interrupt and save Lin Chen, but she realized that Lin Chen wasn't the one who was at a disadvantage, so she stopped worrying and watched the show from the sidelines with a smile.

"The way you're doing this is like you're meeting a leader and shaking hands with him, haha..."

When Gu Yuexi said that, everyone's expressions turned strange.

You know what, Zheng Li's pose is really similar!
With his back hunched, he held Lin Chen's hand and swayed his body in response, appearing extremely respectful, much like a subordinate meeting a superior.

Zheng Li's face, which was already flushed from the intense pain, turned purple after Gu Yuexi's mockery.

Men are afraid of losing face, and even more afraid of losing face in front of women.

Even if the woman isn't his girlfriend, a disdainful look or a sarcastic remark is enough to make a man explode.

Zheng Li wanted to explode, but he couldn't.

He was in excruciating pain!
Just as Zheng Li was about to throw caution to the wind and ask Lin Chen to let go, Lin Chen suddenly released his hand, patted his arm, and laughed heartily, "We'll definitely have a good drink later!"

Zheng Li felt his hand loosen, and quickly withdrew it, forcing a smile as he said, "Of course."

Seeing the astonished looks from those around him, Zheng Li simply shook his hand and said nonchalantly, "You're really strong, my hand is almost broken."

Lin Chen looked surprised: "Really? Oh, I was probably too happy to see you and didn't control my strength for a moment. But we're all soldiers, so it should be fine, right?"

Zheng Li cursed inwardly, "Could he say he had something to do?"
"it's okay no problem!"

Zheng Li responded with a couple of words, then turned around and said, "Everyone, let's divide up the things and get ready to move them. We'll have to walk up the mountain ourselves!"

Zheng Li walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and prepared to move things.

Wu Jiajun glanced at Lin Chen, who seemed unconcerned, and walked to the back of the car. He then discovered that Zheng Li's upper body was hidden in the trunk, his face contorted as he frantically rubbed his right hand.

"Let me help you."

Wu Jiajun made a vague statement, walked to Zheng Li's side, leaned into the trunk, pretended to help move things, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Zheng Li placed his hand in front of Wu Jiajun and whispered, "Is that guy's hand made of iron?"

Wu Jiajun was shocked when he saw it. Zheng Li's hand was purple, with several obvious finger marks on it.

"Holy crap, is he that strong?"

Zheng Li said coldly, "This is no longer just about you and him. He embarrassed me, and I'm going to cripple him!"

Wu Jiajun nodded: "Okay, we'll find an opportunity later!"

The group divided up all the belongings, each carrying them on their backs, and headed up the desolate mountain path.

"Many people used to camp here, but since the bear attack on the campsite, very few people come to camp here, and the place has gradually become deserted..."

Gu Yuexi was startled: "There are bears here?"

Wu Jiajun laughed and said, "The mountains here connect to the forest behind, so it's normal for wild animals to come out. I've heard there are not only bears, but also wolves."

Gu Yuexi asked in surprise, "Isn't that very dangerous? Can't we camp anywhere? Why come to such a dangerous place?"

Zheng Li laughed and said, "Miss Gu, don't worry, I brought a crossbow. If a bear really comes, it'll be a good treat for us—roasted bear paws!"

Wu Jiajun laughed and said, "Xiao Xi, Zheng Li is an elite member of the Sky Eagle Special Forces. He's very capable and will protect us. Besides, Lin Chen is also a veteran. He must be quite skilled too. What are we afraid of?"

The group followed the mountain path to a pool below a small waterfall, which was their destination for camping.

"There are plenty of fish in this pond, and their meat is delicious. We brought fishing gear, and this afternoon we'll have a barbecue while fishing, hoping to catch as many as possible. Tonight we'll have grilled fish and fish soup!"

Wu Jiajun clapped his hands and laughed, "Everyone, let's set up the tents first. To prevent any potential dangers, please keep your tents close together."

Lin Chen tidied up the tent Gu Yuexi had brought and asked in puzzlement, "Just one tent?"

Gu Yuexi nodded naturally: "Yes."

Lin Chen pointed to himself: "Then where do I live?"

Gu Yuexi said, "This is a two-person tent, is it not big enough for everyone?"

Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi in surprise and whispered, "We're going to sleep in one tent?"

Gu Yuexi nodded matter-of-factly and replied in a low voice, "We're lovers, isn't it natural for us to sleep in the same tent? Besides, if we don't act closer, how can we make Wu Jiajun give up completely?"
