"Mr. Chen, your objective is to stay by her side and protect her in the guise of an ordinary person! We don't have young experts like you in the Dragon Group, so this mission is perfect for you!"
"You are of similar age to her, which makes it easier for you to get close and protect her through disguise."
Tong Hao explained.
Chen Jie couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Tong Hao quickly asked, "What? Are there any difficulties? If you feel it's difficult, we will provide you with assistance."
"There aren't any real difficulties. I will protect her well," Chen Jie said.
He had met Li Ziling today, but Li Ziling now had a very bad impression of him.
Approaching Li Ziling then became a problem.
"Alright, here is some information about Li Ziling. She is currently studying dance at a large dance academy. We have arranged for you to be a dance teacher. You can report for duty today or tomorrow."
Tong Hao gave Chen Jie more information about Li Ziling, conveying the key points of the mission.
Chen Jie did not stay long at the Dragon Group branch and soon left.
Just as he was about to head to the dance academy address that Tong Hao had told him, his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Zhang Xinyan calling, he quickly answered.
"Chen Jie, can I ask you for a favor?" Zhang Xinyan said.
"What favor?"
"I want to go home," Zhang Xinyan said.
Chen Jie was stunned. "Why go home now? Aren't you supposed to go to your brother's company tomorrow to fight for inheritance with Liu Mei?"
"I..."
Zhang Xinyan couldn't hold back any longer, and with a choked sob, she said, "I don't think I can win against her, and, and just now, my parents were attacked on their way here!"
"What?" Chen Jie's eyes turned cold.
He could guess with his eyes closed that Liu Mei was behind this.
"Were they alright?"
"They were blocked by the experts they brought with them, but I don't know if there will be another attack. I don't want to lose my parents after losing my brother and grandfather. Chen Jie, I want to give up!"
"Besides, I've never been to my brother's company before, so I have no chance of winning if I try to fight for the inheritance with her..."
Zhang Xinyan said.
"I can handle your brother's company's affairs for you. Are you sure you want to give up?" Chen Jie asked.
If Zhang Xinyan gave up, Chen Jie could do nothing, and the plan would have to be abandoned.
After all, it was not Chen Jie's business.
"Can you really handle it for me?" Zhang Xinyan murmured.
"That's right, it's a small matter for me, but only if you don't back down."
Zhang Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Alright, as long as you are willing to help me, I will fight her to the end!"
"Good, I'm coming to you now. I suspect that since Liu Mei failed to harm your mother, she will turn her attention to you! I'll protect you tonight! Also, I have some other things to tell you."
Before going to Zhang Xinyan's place, Chen Jie called Wang Xiaoyan and told her he wouldn't be coming back tonight.
Because Zhang Xinyan might be in danger.
Wang Xiaoyan didn't say anything and expressed her understanding, telling Chen Jie to not worry.
Zhang Xinyan hung up the phone, her heart in turmoil.
Not long after waiting, the door was knocked.
Zhang Xinyan's face lit up, she wiped away her tears, and quickly went to open the door.
Upon opening the door, a stranger's face appeared before her.
"Who are you?"
Having been warned by Chen Jie, Zhang Xinyan realized she was also in danger. Seeing the stranger, her delicate face immediately showed alertness.
"Miss, you have a delivery that requires your signature," the man said with a smile.
"Sorry, I didn't order any delivery," Zhang Xinyan said coldly and was about to close the door.
Unexpectedly, the other party kicked the door, "Heh heh, if I say you have it, then you have it."
"Get out quickly, or I'll call for help!" Zhang Xinyan nervously took out her phone, wanting to call Chen Jie.
Swish!
The man was quick-handed and snatched it away.
"Miss Zhang, if you want to live, I advise you to return to Pingcheng immediately, and from now on, the provincial capital will be a forbidden area for your entire life. Do you agree?"
The man entered the room, closed the door with a smile.
At the same time, he looked at Zhang Xinyan with admiration.
"Who sent you?"
Zhang Xinyan angrily asked, "Is it that bitch Liu Mei?"
"Liu Mei?"
The man's expression changed slightly, but then he said, "Sorry, I don't know Liu Mei. You just need to answer me, do you want to return to Pingcheng? We've already arranged for a car."
"I will not go back! I will take back everything that belongs to my Zhang family. Tell Liu Mei to give up on that idea!" Zhang Xinyan said with grief and anger.
"Heh heh, fine. Since that's the case, then there's no need for me to be polite. You die!"
A small knife appeared in the man's hand, and he suddenly stabbed at Zhang Xinyan.
Zhang Xinyan had already sensed something was wrong and immediately dodged.
But she was just an ordinary woman.
The other party was a martial artist, so she was quickly caught up.
"You're so beautiful, it's a pity you have to die by my hand. However, to complete the mission, I can only be ruthless."
"Ah!"
As the dagger was about to stab her, Zhang Xinyan screamed and covered her face.
Ding!
Unexpectedly, as the dagger hit Zhang Xinyan, it made a crisp sound.
The scene where Zhang Xinyan was expected to be injured did not occur. Instead, the man seemed to be repelled by the force and was pushed back a few steps.
"What is this? Could it be a legendary protective artifact?"
The man's expression changed slightly.
Protective artifact?
Zhang Xinyan was immediately overjoyed.
Chen Jie had saved her life again!
She had forgotten these past few days that she still had a protective artifact gifted by Chen Jie, and she didn't expect it to save her life now.
Immediately, Zhang Xinyan hurried to the door to open it.
As she opened the door, she shouted, "Help!"
"Heh heh, without martial arts, even with a protective artifact, it's useless. Let's see how long the protective artifact can protect you!"
The man kicked the sofa in the living room, moving it in front of the door to block it.
At the same time, the dagger stabbed at Zhang Xinyan again.
Another ding, and the man was repelled.
Zhang Xinyan shouted frantically, "Help me quickly! Someone! There's an assassin!"
"Die for me!"
The man became a little anxious, and holding the dagger again, he stabbed Zhang Xinyan wildly.
Ding ding...
The protective artifact on Zhang Xinyan's body was unexpectedly strong. He stabbed more than a dozen times, but it didn't break through its defense.
"Damn it, why is this protective artifact so powerful? I want it too!"
The man was furious and continued to attack Zhang Xinyan.
Thus, after more than ten minutes, he still couldn't break through Zhang Xinyan's defense.
The man looked incredulous.
He even began to doubt himself.
He gradually sensed that something was wrong.
So much time had passed, and people in the hotel should have heard the commotion, yet no one had appeared.
