?68: Chapter 68 An Huairen 68: Chapter 68 An Huairen After sending the message, Lin Yifan opened the APP to see if the beautiful anchor with the “fierce” charm had started her live stream yet.

    The “Big Brother” live room was open, but Lin Yifan hesitated about whether or not to go in and watch.

    After all, he was now someone with a girlfriend, and shouldn’t be watching other women.

    But he was also quite bored right now, and if he didn’t watch, he didn’t know what else to do.

    In the end, he decided to respect Zhou Jiajia and not watch the live stream of the stunning beauty.

    With nothing else to do, he downloaded a music APP and started listening to music.

    The songs he listened to were all military songs, reminiscing about his days in the army.

    As he listened, half an hour passed by just like that.

    At this time, someone else entered the CEO’s office suite.

    The newcomer was a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, appearing like a white-collar worker at the company.

    “Director An, hello!” the receptionist Wang Xiaolin immediately stood up and greeted him politely.

    From Wang Xiaolin’s eyes, Lin Yifan saw a hint of respect, wondering if it was because the visitor held a senior leadership position.

    Director An handed Wang Xiaolin a document without expression, then instructed seriously, “Take this quarter’s financial statement to Director An!”

    Wang Xiaolin took the document and responded politely, “Okay!

    Understood!”

    Director An didn’t say anything further and left promptly.

    As he turned to leave, he made a point of glancing at Lin Yifan, seemingly with a particular hidden meaning.

    “Looks like it must be someone from Uncle An’s family,” Lin Yifan muttered to himself.

    As a bodyguard, there was nothing much about him that warranted attention, unless someone had a liking for him or was hostile towards him to take such a meaningful glance.

    From the man’s look, he could sense a strong hostility; so, given the name An, a high position, and hostility towards him, it was almost ninety-nine percent certain that the person was from An Qi’s uncle’s family.

    “The major positions in the company are all occupied by my uncle’s family.

    It seems like Antian Group will soon change hands,” he reflected.

    The thought of this situation made Lin Yifan uneasy.

    With Zhao’s Group glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey and relatives scheming for control and position, it looked like An Qi’s support was on the verge of collapsing.

    Once he lost the support of this “big tree” An Qi, he would have to go out and face the sun again.

    This feeling was not pleasant, so he hoped that the next time Director An was attacked, he would be able to gather some evidence.

    ...

    After a leisurely day had passed and he was heading home in the evening, Lin Yifan asked An Qi in the car, “Do you have your people around Director An now?”

    “I do,” An Qi replied simply.

    Hearing the two of them talk, Zhou Jiajia, who was nearby, always felt there was some secret between them and asked out of curiosity, “Do you suspect that An Huairen is involved in something fishy?”

    “Not just An Huairen, but my entire uncle’s family,” An Qi answered.

    Zhou Jiajia was her best friend and most trusted older sister, so there was nothing to hide, and it didn’t matter even if she knew.

    “What do you suspect them of doing?” Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

    “I suspect they want to kill me and take over my dad’s company,” An Qi replied.

    “What?

    You mean you suspect that yesterday’s assassination attempt was orchestrated by your uncle behind the scenes?” Zhou Jiajia looked astonished.

    This was a severe matter because being betrayed by one’s closest relatives is an incredibly painful thing, and she believed that An Qi must be feeling terrible right now.

    “Mhm!

    Yes.” An Qi nodded in reply.

    “Then how did Mr.

    Lin find out?

    Did you tell him?” Zhou Jiajia asked.

    If that was the case, then she would feel there was something unusual about the relationship between An Qi and Lin Yifan; because An Qi hadn’t even told her, her best friend, but had confided in someone she had just met.

    Such trust was definitely not something you’d find in an ordinary relationship.

    “I didn’t tell him.

    We figured it out together; if it hadn’t been for his reminder, I wouldn’t have suspected there was a problem with my uncle.” An Qi answered.

    “So it turns out Mr.

    Lin is quite clever!”

    As she spoke these words, Zhou Jiajia gave Lin Yifan a meaningful glance, seemingly indicating to others that the man she was interested in was indeed not ordinary.

    Seeing Zhou Jiajia’s smug smile in the rearview mirror, Lin Yifan couldn’t help shaking his head, wondering what there was to be proud of, before politely responding, “Thank you for the compliment, Secretary Zhou.”

    “Aside from being a bit of a pervert, everything else about him is okay.”

    An Qi didn’t refute but agreed with what Zhou Jiajia had said.

    “An Qi, why do you always call him a pervert?

    Has he ever harassed you?” Zhou Jiajia was very curious.

    This was a big question, one she had to get to the bottom of.

    “He’s done more than just harass me; he’s also indecently imagined me in his mind, utterly disgusting.” An Qi retorted, clearly angered as she recalled unhappy memories.

    Hearing An Qi’s response, Zhou Jiajia glared at Lin Yifan, expecting a satisfactory explanation.

    Seeing her fiery gaze, Lin Yifan knew it was time to clarify things, so he cleared his throat twice and countered An Qi’s accusation, “Mind your words, I have never harassed you.

    I just had a nosebleed, that’s all.”

    “If it was just a nosebleed, I wouldn’t mind; but if you drool, then I have to suspect there’s something wrong with your thoughts.” An Qi fought back.

    “Anyway, I didn’t harass you.

    Interpret it however you want.”

    Lin Yifan didn’t want to dwell on this matter because it was pointless.

    “You scoundrel, you dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it.

    If it weren’t for your skills, I wouldn’t want you as my bodyguard.”

    An Qi was furious to the core and really wanted to give Lin Yifan a beating.

    “Alright then, I admit it, you have a great figure; if you think I’m not trustworthy, then go ahead and fire me.”

    Lin Yifan decided to lay it all out, hoping for a swift resolution.

    “Humph!

    If I thought you had a bad character, would I have hired you as my bodyguard?

    I’m just angry because you dare to act but won’t admit it.” An Qi replied.

    “It was just an instinctive reaction.

    Why should I admit guilt if you insist I’m at fault?”

    Lin Yifan refused to confess because he didn’t want to be wrongfully accused.

    “Hmph!

    Who knows if you have improper thoughts about me in your head,” An Qi said scornfully before turning to Zhou Jiajia, “Jiajia, have you seen his true colors now?

    Don’t get too close to someone with impure thoughts, or he’ll start lusting after your body.”

    Zhou Jiajia replied with a smile, “If An Qi doesn’t mind, then why should I care?”

    “Who said I don’t mind?

    I’m only letting him get close for my personal safety,” An Qi countered.

    “In the end, you still think Mr.

    Lin is of good character and trustworthy; so, if he’s decent, why can’t I get close to him?” Zhou Jiajia responded.

    “Anyway, I just don’t want to see Jiajia getting close to him,” An Qi became petulant.

    “If I get close to Mr.

    Lin, will you get jealous, An Qi?” Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

    She felt that An Qi might already have feelings for Lin Yifan.
