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

Lin Chen's words, "He's here to take my life," shattered the last trace of queenly pride and pretense on Ye Qingcheng's body.

She stood there, her delicate body trembling slightly. For the first time, a vulnerable look called "fear" appeared on her usually stunningly beautiful face.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chen dropped his previous carefree and lazy attitude.

His eyes became sharp and focused, revealing his brilliance.

"From now until we catch the 'Joker'."

Lin Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable tone of command.

"I am your shadow."

"Wherever you go, I'll follow."

"I have to be there no matter what you do."

"Without my permission, you cannot see anyone, eat anything, or leave my sight for more than three seconds."

shadow?

Ye Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat.

What she hated most in her life was being controlled, but at this moment, this man's domineering demands gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.

Faced with the shadow of death, her pitiful desire for control proved utterly fragile.

She looked into Lin Chen's deep, all-seeing eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded with difficulty.

Fingertips, where no one could see, slightly sank into the palm.

"it is good."

……

Half an hour later, in the underground parking garage of the Yip Group.

After efficiently handling the company's most important matters, Ye Qingcheng, accompanied by Lin Chen, rode in a Rolls-Royce Phantom with top-of-the-line bulletproof modifications to the Ye family manor in the suburbs.

The vehicle smoothly drove into the manor gate.

However, just after turning a corner, a blinding red color burst into view.

A blatantly flashy red Ferrari sports car was parked across the entrance to the estate owner's villa.

A young man dressed in a pure white custom-made suit, with his hair slicked back and holding a large bouquet of blue roses, was leaning against the car door with a "deeply affectionate" expression.

He was none other than Zhao Tianba, the eldest son of the Zhao Group, one of the four major families in Jiangcheng, and a fervent pursuer of Ye Qingcheng.

Upon seeing Ye Qingcheng's car approaching, Zhao Tianba's eyes lit up. He quickly dropped the roses and eagerly rushed over to greet her.

"Qingcheng! You're finally back! I was so worried about you!"

He wore what he thought was a charming smile, and exaggeratedly opened his arms as if he wanted to give Ye Qingcheng a hug.

But when he saw Lin Chen getting out of the passenger seat, the smile on his face froze instantly, turning into undisguised gloom and hostility.

Zhao Tianba completely ignored Lin Chen, rushed to Ye Qingcheng in a few steps, and said urgently:

"Qingcheng, I heard that a madman sent you a death warning? Don't be afraid!"

He pointed triumphantly behind him.

Behind the Ferrari, two rows of sixteen burly bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses had appeared.

"I've brought our Zhao family's most elite bodyguard team! They're all elites retired from the Southwest Falcon Special Forces! With them here, not even an army, let alone an assassin, can get close to you!"

Ye Qingcheng frowned, her already cold and pretty face showing even more disgust.

She took a half step back, creating distance between herself and Zhao Tianba, her tone as cold as ice.

"No need, Young Master Zhao, I appreciate your kindness."

"I have Advisor Lin protecting me, that's enough."

"Consultant Lin?"

Zhao Tianba then glanced at Lin Chen from head to toe.

A faded sweatshirt, ripped jeans, and a pair of sneakers whose brand you couldn't tell.

The total cost of his entire outfit probably doesn't exceed three hundred yuan.

A deep look of contempt and disdain instantly appeared on Zhao Tianba's lips.

"Qingcheng, you must be joking!"

"Him? A poor kid dressed head-to-toe in cheap clothes? He's not even worthy of carrying my bodyguard's shoes!"

"I'll give him a million and kick him out, how about that?"

"Don't let that kind of person sully your eyes."

Faced with Zhao Tianba's extremely insulting mockery, Lin Chen didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

He seemed to ignore the boisterous rich kid in front of him, looking directly at Ye Qingcheng and saying in a flat tone:

"Let's go, don't waste time on such a boring person."

"Take me to see your bedroom; I need to check it out."

These words were like a spark that instantly ignited Zhao Tianba's powder keg!

"What did you say?!"

Zhao Tianba immediately lost his temper and pointed at Lin Chen's nose, cursing loudly.

"You worthless loser! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just walk into Qingcheng's bedroom?!"

Lin Chen finally glanced at him, his gaze as if he were looking at an idiot.

Then, he said to Ye Qingcheng with a self-righteous air:

"I am a bodyguard, and I cannot leave your side 24 hours a day."

"Checking the bedroom is the most basic security procedure."

He paused, then added a sentence that left everyone speechless.

"Not just the bedroom, I need to check the bathroom carefully too."

"Your bathtub must be huge; it's the perfect place to hide someone."

As he spoke, Lin Chen turned his gaze to Ye Qingcheng's pretty face, which was already starting to turn red, and said something extremely lewd in an extremely professional tone.

"By the way, to ensure your absolute safety, it's best not to lock the door when you take a shower tonight."

"I need to stay outside and keep an eye out, just in case."

boom!

Ye Qingcheng's cheeks instantly turned red to her ears, like a ripe apple.

An indescribable sense of shame and indignation surged to the top of her head, making her wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

That bastard!

He did it on purpose!

It was absolutely intentional!

However, when she met Lin Chen's calm and unwavering gaze, as if they were truly just discussing work, and then recalled the death notice with the bizarre clown mask painted on it...

Her chest heaved violently a few times, and finally, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a single word.

"……good."

This single word was like a thunderbolt to Zhao Tianba!

He was completely stunned.

His eyes were wide open like saucers, his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, and his face was filled with utter bewilderment, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?"

goddess……

He pursued the icy goddess for three years, but never even managed to hold her hand...

They actually agreed to this unreasonable demand, which is even more outrageous than a rogue's!

"puff--"

Zhao Tianba felt a mouthful of blood rise to his throat, and his mentality completely collapsed!

"Aaaaaahh ...

He let out a roar of impotent rage, grabbed the expensive blue roses from the ground, and slammed them onto the hood of the Ferrari, sending petals and broken branches flying.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you! I'm definitely going to kill you!!!"

Neither Lin Chen nor Ye Qingcheng paid any more attention to this crazed clown.

The two walked straight into the villa gate, one after the other.

Zhao Tianba was left behind, howling like a defeated dog at the scene of utter chaos.
