The young man, held by the collar by Lin Chen, struggled a few times and coldly said, "You rough brute, let go of me at once."

"We bodyguards have all shed blood and sweat for our country. If you dare insult them again, I won't be polite," Lin Chen huffed and, with a flick of his wrist, threw the young man onto the couch.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the young man suddenly laughed: "A bunch of bodyguards bragging about shedding blood and sweat, do you know who I am? I am from the Dragon Group, do you know what that is? We are the ones protecting the security of the nation."

"Hmph, Lin Chen, do you know how formidable Brother Zhang Hui is? He once faced dozens of agents from Eagle Country alone, safely extracting vital intelligence. In Africa, he fought over a hundred armed militants single-handedly to rescue hostages and brought back our country's experts..." Xiao Ziting said with a face full of admiration.

After listening to Xiao Ziting, Lin Chen laughed: "The Dragon Group is our nation's most elite special forces organization. The first rule is to never reveal one's identity to others and certainly not to divulge mission details to anyone. Moreover, if this guy were from the Dragon Group, I would definitely know."

No need to ask, this guy had simply adorned himself with things about the Dragon Group he read online.

"Ziting, don't worry. Let this guy get lost. I'll protect you personally. With me, an elite from the Dragon Group here, nobody can hurt you," Zhang Hui said arrogantly.

"An elite from the Dragon Group?" Lin Chen snorted coldly and suddenly kicked out.

"Bang!" Lin Chen's kick powerfully landed on Zhang Hui's chest.

Zhang Hui had no reaction at all and was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, Zhang Hui was in a sorry state. Although Lin Chen had not used much strength, this guy felt as if his ribs were about to break, and his face was filled with fear.

Zhang Hui was a ninth-degree black belt in taekwondo and had even ranked nationally in competitions, but when Lin Chen had struck just now, he couldn't see it clearly at all, nor did he understand how he had been sent flying.

"This is just a lesson. If you dare insult the elites of the Dragon Group again, I will not let you off," Lin Chen said coldly.

Feeling the icy aura emanating from Lin Chen, Zhang Hui's face turned deathly pale, and his whole body began to tremble. He didn't dare say another word or make a sudden move, fearing Lin Chen would strike again.

Seeing Lin Chen kick Zhang Hui away, Xiao Zixuan's face turned pale: "Lin Chen, what are you doing? That was too much."

Zhang Hui had always claimed he was an agent of the Dragon Group, using some stories he had read to deceive Xiao Ziting.

Despite the glaring holes in these stories, Xiao Ziting had believed them. So, seeing the hero in her heart being kicked away by Lin Chen, Xiao Ziting suddenly burst out angrily: "Lin Chen, how dare you lay a hand on Brother Hui, apologize to Brother Zhang Hui right now!"

"Apologize? Haven't you always wanted me to leave? Fine, as you wish. From now on, I am no longer your bodyguard, and you are no longer my employer. Take good care of yourselves, sisters. We shall not meet again." With that, Lin Chen walked toward the door without looking back.

Although Xiao Ziting had always wanted to drive Lin Chen away, she didn't know why her heart suddenly trembled hard as she watched his departing figure.

Xiao Zixuan also felt some regret, thinking that she might have gone too far.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hui sprawled on the ground, rubbed his still aching chest, got up from the floor, and started cursing at the doorway: "Bastard, don't run if you're so tough. Come back, let's have a duel!"

His words had barely faded when suddenly the door was kicked open.

Zhang Hui thought Lin Chen had returned, and terrified out of his wits, he shut his mouth and plopped down on the couch.

However, the ones who rushed in were not Lin Chen but a group of men wearing masks.

These men were murderous as they stormed into the room and headed straight for Xiao sisters and Zhang Hui.

"Who are you?" Xiao Zixuan glanced at Zhang Hui shivering beside her, immediately realizing that this man was unreliable, and stepped forward to ask.

"Tsk tsk, who do you think we are? Of course, we're here to kidnap you. Come with us, and spare yourselves some pain," said a young man wearing a Monkey King mask coldly.

The Xiao sisters were under Lin Chen's protection. Whenever Lin Chen left, other members of the Dragon Group would follow, so these kidnappers had been watching the Xiao sisters for a long time without finding an opportunity.

Having stormed off in a huff just now, Lin Chen finally gave these guys their chance, so they immediately took action and broke into the Xiao's house.

Seeing the people who burst in, Xiao Ziting was not at all panicked, even feeling a bit excited—she could finally see her hero, Brother Zhang Hui, in action.

"Humph, don't get cocky, you guys. Do you know who he is? He's a famous agent of the Dragon Group. Humph, you petty thieves are practically courting death," Xiao Ziting said proudly.

By this time, Zhang Hui was already scared out of his wits, and almost cried upon hearing Xiao Ziting's words.

These people were all armed; wouldn't going up against them be akin to seeking his own death?

After hearing Xiao Ziting's words, Zhang Hui shakily stood up.

Xiao Ziting was excited, "Go on, Brother Hui, beat these jerks up bad."

Trembling, Zhang Hui walked towards the kidnappers, but when he reached them, he suddenly fell to his knees.

"Gentlemen, please spare me. I'm just here to collect the water bill; I'm not even familiar with them."

What!

Seeing her hero kneeling and begging the kidnappers for mercy, even disclaiming any relationship with them, Xiao Ziting was instantly dumbfounded.

Xiao Zixuan sighed, "Silly sister, can't you see? We were wrong about Lin Chen."

"Slap!" A kidnapper fiercely slapped Zhang Hui across the face.

"You call yourself a man? Tie him up too," the kidnapper snorted coldly.

By this time, Lin Chen had already driven back to the company, planning to pack his things and prepare to resign.

Although Xiao Zixuan was very important to him, the lack of basic respect made it unnecessary for Lin Chen to continue protecting the sisters.

Especially Xiao Ziting. Though beautiful, her character was deplorable. With such a woman, Lin Chen didn't even want to stay another minute.

Just as he arrived at the company's entrance, suddenly a figure hurried over.

"Lin Chen, you finally showed up. I thought you...!" spoke Li Xiaohan, who suddenly burst into tears.

When Li Xiaohan found out that Lin Chen hadn't been arrested by the police, she nearly went mad with worry, looking everywhere for him and even staying by the company entrance hoping for his return.

Seeing Li Xiaohan, a faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face: "I'm okay. Do you have some time now?"

Li Xiaohan looked at Lin Chen in confusion and nodded, "Yeah!"

"Come on, let's go have a drink," Lin Chen said with a faint smile.
