You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Ye Qingcheng narrowed her phoenix eyes dangerously, and the temperature in her gaze suddenly dropped to freezing point.

An invisible pressure suddenly emanated from her.

"What's the HR department doing?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp icicle, piercing the eardrums of everyone present.

"How did this irresponsible and unruly employee manage to get into the company headquarters?"

The HR manager, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, whose name was called, shuddered.

Cold sweat instantly slid down his forehead, and his face turned ashen.

"Chairman Ye... I... I'll investigate right away!"

He spoke in a trembling voice, terrified beyond measure. His hand instinctively reached for his phone in his pocket, as if he wanted to call security immediately, but his trembling fingertips couldn't swipe the screen.

However, Lin Chen, who was the focus of the entire event, seemed not to hear Ye Qingcheng's anger at all, nor did he pay attention to the oppressive atmosphere that could freeze one's soul.

He didn't even glance at Ye Qingcheng in the main seat.

Under the horrified gazes of all the executives present, he walked straight to the other end of the huge conference table, facing Ye Qingcheng across the room.

then.

He pulled out the chair that symbolized the group's second-highest authority.

He plopped down on his bottom.

He crossed his legs and naturally lifted them up.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, exuding a deep-seated laziness and arrogance.

The entire audience was completely petrified!

All the executives' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, their jaws dropping to the floor.

Is this person insane?!

This is the highest decision-making conference room of the Ye Group!

The seat he was sitting in was the reserved seat for the group's vice chairman!

More importantly, he dared to provoke the queen who controlled a multi-billion dollar business empire with an iron fist—Ye Qingcheng!

Dead!

This thought simultaneously exploded in everyone's minds.

as predicted.

Ye Qingcheng's stunningly beautiful face twisted into a furious, mocking smile.

She clapped slowly, one clap at a time, the crisp applause echoing eerily in the deathly silent conference room.

"it is good."

"How dare you!"

Her red lips parted slightly, but the words she uttered were more piercing than the Siberian wind.

"Where's the security captain?!"

"Throw him out of here!"

Lin Chen picked at his ear, as if disturbed by her voice, and lazily raised his eyelids, looking at the number one female CEO of Jiangcheng for the first time.

"Mr. Ye, please don't get so angry."

"It's prone to wrinkles."

He casually tossed the letter of appointment, stamped with a bright red seal, onto the obsidian tabletop and pointed at it.

"Look carefully, I was sent by the Municipal Bureau to save your life, not to listen to your lecture."

Ye Qingcheng was stunned.

Her secretary quickly stepped forward, picked up the document, and respectfully handed it to her.

Ye Qingcheng took it, her gaze lingering on the words "Criminal Investigation Consultant Lin Chen" for less than a second, the cold sneer on her lips only intensifying.

"Is there no one left at the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

"Send a thug to be in charge of my safety?"

Lin Chen shrugged indifferently, leaned back in his chair, and looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

"Sometimes you have to be even more ruthless when dealing with thugs."

"Mr. Ye had better cooperate, or he won't even know how he died."

"you!"

Ye Qingcheng's patience finally ran out.

The contempt in her eyes was undisguised.

"I don't need your protection, I don't trust you."

"I have my own security team, you can leave now."

Lin Chen, however, remained seated firmly in his chair as if he hadn't heard anything, without moving an inch.

"I've accepted the task, so I have to finish it."

"This is a matter of principle."

Their gazes met in mid-air, as if invisible sparks were crackling.

The temperature in the entire conference room plummeted once again.

The suppressed anger in Ye Qingcheng's heart was completely ignited.

well.

Since you won't listen to my polite offer, then I'll show you what real professionalism is!

She wanted to make this arrogant fool tuck his tail between his legs and get out of there!

Ye Qingcheng extended her slender finger and pressed a hidden communicator button on the desktop.

next second.

The heavy solid wood door of the conference room slid open silently to both sides.

Eight burly men, as tall as iron towers, wearing black tactical vests and with bulging muscles, entered in single file with perfectly synchronized steps!

A fierce and murderous aura instantly filled the entire space!

The leader was a blond, blue-eyed foreign man who was nearly two meters tall. His bare arms were thicker than Lin Chen's thighs. He had a ferocious snake tattooed on his neck, and his blue eyes were filled with a wild, savage ferocity.

Ye Qingcheng stood up and introduced herself with a cold arrogance:

"This is the 'Black Shield' international security company that I hired from overseas at a cost of $80 million a year. The captain, Jack, is a former Navy SEAL elite."

She paused, then turned her gaze to Lin Chen, her expression one of condescending scrutiny.

"And this person is an 'advisor' sent by the Municipal Bureau."

Jack's gaze lingered on Lin Chen's slightly thin body for three seconds.

Then, he let out a highly insulting sneer.

"Chinese police?"

"Boyscout?"

(Chinese police? Boy Scouts?)

The seven bodyguards behind him also burst into suppressed laughter, their eyes filled with undisguised provocation and disdain.

Jack stepped forward and, in his broken Chinese, arrogantly said:

"Madam, we don't need police playing house here."

"We possess the world's most advanced reconnaissance technology and the most powerful firepower. Any threat attempting to approach you will be torn to shreds!"

Ye Qingcheng crossed her arms and remained silent, only coldly staring at Lin Chen.

The meaning is self-evident.

Can you see the difference?

Now, get out.

Faced with the collective ridicule of these professional hunks and the silent coercion of the female CEO.

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged.

He even yawned.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he slowly and deliberately stood up from the chair.
