After descending the mountain, my aloof fiancée became completely devoted to me.

Lin Ping's originally indifferent gaze flickered slightly, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

He was completely ignorant of the conflicts in the mortal business world, and seeing Shen Aoxue's worried expression, he was at a loss. Now that someone had taken the initiative to resolve the issue, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Shen Aoxue was also slightly surprised and looked at Li Wenliang with a hesitant expression.

Lin Ping, holding Shen Aoxue's hand, spoke in a cool tone, "In that case, lead the way."

Li Wenliang was overjoyed and quickly bowed to lead the way, his face full of pride.

Upon hearing Lin Ping's confirmation, Li Wenliang's face lit up with joy, and he bowed even lower, repeatedly saying, "Thank you so much for your trust, Mr. Lin! Thank you so much, Mr. Lin!"

He dared not delay for a moment, quickly rushed to the roadside, deftly unlocked his top-of-the-line luxury car, ran to the back seat, and respectfully opened the car door, carefully protecting the top of the door with his arm, afraid that Shen Aoxue would bump her head. His posture was extremely obsequious.

"Ms. Shen, please get in the car, and please be careful!"

After serving Shen Aoxue, he quickly walked around to the other rear door, respectfully opened it, bowed deeply to Lin Ping, and spoke with utmost reverence, barely daring to breathe: "Mr. Lin, please take a seat. I will personally drive you and Miss Shen to the Shen Group. I guarantee a smooth journey!"

Lin Ping remained calm, took Shen Aoxue's hand, and slowly got into the car.

Li Wenliang remained hunched over the entire time, and only after the two were seated did he gently close the back door, quickly run to the driver's seat, and start the car with practiced ease. He dared not be negligent at all, and drove with utmost care, afraid of disturbing Lin Ping and Shen Aoxue in the back seat.

Throughout the journey, he maintained a constant smile and cautiously began, "Mr. Lin, Ms. Shen, I've already heard about the trouble the Shen Group is in. It's the Zhao Group in the west of the city, colluding with external capital, that's behind this. Relying on their martial arts background, the Zhao Group has always been arrogant and domineering in Jiangcheng's business world. This time, they're deliberately targeting Ms. Shen, trying to swallow up the Shen Group's assets!"

"With me here, I will absolutely not let them bully Miss Shen in the slightest!"

Lin Ping closed his eyes to rest, his expression indifferent, and did not speak. He simply held Shen Aoxue's hand in his palm to comfort her.

Shen Aoxue's brows were still furrowed, her mind filled with the mess the company was making, and she looked anxious. However, with Lin Ping's warm hand, the panic in her heart gradually subsided.

About half an hour later, the luxury car came to a steady stop in front of the Shen Group building.

Li Wenliang got out of the car immediately, and as always, he opened the car door for Shen Aoxue and Lin Ping first, respectfully helping the two of them out of the car.

Shen Aoxue looked at the familiar group building in front of her with a solemn expression. She raised her hand to rub her temples and said softly to Lin Ping, "Aping, I'll go to the front desk to get an urgent document first. You and Mr. Li go into the company lobby and wait for me. I'll be right there."

"Okay." Lin Ping nodded slightly, his gaze gentle. "Don't worry, I'm here."

Shen Aoxue nodded and walked quickly toward the front desk.

Lin Ping walked calmly toward the lobby of the Shen Group, with Li Wenliang following half a step behind him, his posture humble, looking exactly like a servant.

As soon as the two reached the building entrance, two uniformed security guards stepped forward and blocked their way.

The head security guard glanced sideways at Lin Ping, who was dressed plainly and lacked any presence, his eyes full of disdain and contempt. His tone was perfunctory yet arrogant as he directly shouted, "Halt! Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering the Shen Group. Who did you come from? Get out of here!"

The security guard could tell at a glance that Lin Ping was dressed in very simple casual clothes, with an ordinary demeanor, looking like an ordinary person without power or influence, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

But when he turned to look at Li Wenliang beside him, his expression instantly changed, replaced by a fawning smile. He bowed deeply, his attitude extremely respectful: "So it's Young Master Li! I've heard so much about you! Why didn't you let us know beforehand so we could have greeted you personally!"

He knew perfectly well that Li Wenliang was from a top-tier wealthy family in Jiangcheng, the sole heir to the Li family's nationwide chain of supermarkets, with extensive connections and influence. He was a big shot that people like them absolutely could not afford to offend.

Seeing the security guard blocking Lin Ping, Li Wenliang's face turned deathly pale. He was terrified and immediately turned to the guard, shouting angrily with a fierce look in his eyes: "Insolence! Are you blind? How dare you block Mr. Lin's way?"

The security guard stood there stunned, looking at Li Wenliang with a bewildered expression, completely dumbfounded.

He couldn't understand why the high and mighty young master of the Li family would be so respectful and even fearful towards an ordinary person, as if he had offended some powerful figure.

"Young Master Li, what...what's going on here?" The security guard stammered, looking completely bewildered. "This person is just an ordinary passerby. I was afraid he would disrupt company order, so I stopped him..."

"An ordinary passerby?" Li Wenliang trembled with anger, raising his hand to reprimand him, but dared not act rashly in front of Lin Ping. He could only suppress his rage, turn to Lin Ping, and instantly adopt an expression of utmost respect, bowing deeply in apology.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry. It was my incompetence. My servants were blind and didn't know what they were doing, causing you distress. Please don't be angry!"

His actions left the two security guards completely frozen in place, their pupils shrinking and their faces filled with shock.

Who exactly is this unassuming man in front of me? How could he make the arrogant Li Wenliang call himself his subordinate and bow down to apologize?

Lin Ping's expression was indifferent, his eyes cold and unwavering. He didn't even bother to glance at the security guard in front of him. His aura was calm, but the natural sense of oppression made the guard's hair stand on end, and a sense of fear inexplicably rose in his heart.

"I don't want to repeat myself, move aside."

Lin Ping's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority; his tone was light, yet no one dared to disobey him.

The security guard was intimidated, but still relied on his status as a formal employee of the Shen Group to grit his teeth and block the way, hesitating and not daring to give way, still thinking that Lin Ping was an insignificant nobody.

Just then, Shen Aoxue walked over quickly, holding the documents.

Seeing the security guards blocking Lin Ping's way with a dismissive attitude, Shen Aoxue's face instantly turned cold, her whole body filled with anger. She quickly walked to Lin Ping's side, reached out and tightly grabbed Lin Ping's arm, looked at the security guards with cold and stern eyes, and spoke in a strong and forceful tone that resounded throughout the entire company lobby.

"I'm saying this for the last time, get out of the way now!"

"From this day forward, Mr. Lin is the master of the Shen Group, controlling all decision-making power. From now on, no one in the entire Shen Group will dare to show him the slightest disrespect; seeing him is like seeing me!"

One sentence, like a thunderclap, exploded throughout the entire venue!

The two security guards turned deathly pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground. They stared at Lin Ping with terrified eyes, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
