After eating, Xu Guofeng went back to the hotel. Yang Qingyue also wanted to take a nap, so there was no need for him to stay.
"Grandpa, tell me a story."
"This storybook was written by Daddy, it's really good."
Lin Xiaoxi sat on the bed and spoke in a childish voice.
"Okay, Grandpa will tell you a story."
Xu Guofeng said gently. After telling the story for more than ten minutes, Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep with a faint smile on her face.
"Lin Chen, sit down."
Xu Guofeng beckoned Lin Chen to sit in the living room. He had booked a deluxe suite for Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi, with a small living room outside the bedroom.
"The events of that year traumatized Mengyao. She's seen many doctors, and while she seems fine now, she hasn't fully recovered."
"I hope you can be more understanding with her. It's not advisable for you two to rush into a confession and quickly resolve things. Instead, you should take things slowly, letting things develop naturally."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Uncle Xu, I understand. I know a bit about medicine, and many people are psychologically affected by trauma."
Xu Guofeng smiled slightly.
"Lin Chen, thank you for understanding."
"That incident actually traumatized her mother and me as well. Since then, we've become even more concerned about her condition, fearing that something else might happen."
Lin Chen said, "Uncle Xu, I will protect her."
He thought of the scene of Xu Mengyao waiting for him after he finished drinking. Xu Mengyao, the tsundere ice-cold CEO, actually had moments that warmed his heart.
"Okay."
Xu Guofeng nodded.
"Lin Chen, some wealthy people choose their sons-in-law, and they like to choose someone honest and a little bit… slow. But I'm different. I hope to find someone who can be Mengyao's support."
"Her mother and I can't protect her for the rest of her life."
"You can't take money with you when you die. As long as you two are happy, all of our money will be yours in the future."
Lin Chen shook his head. "Uncle Xu, you're mistaken. Even if Mengyao and I are together, your money is still yours."
"I can earn money to support myself."
"If we were together, it would be because of who she is, not because of the Xu Family's money."
Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen in surprise.
"Lin Chen, we'll talk about this later."
"Both your Aunt Mengyao and I think highly of you."
Lin Chen nodded, smiling as he asked, "Uncle Xu, is there a shooting range nearby? I want to try shooting."
Xu Guofeng nodded. "There's a shooting range a bit further away. When Aunt Mengyao is sick, and I'm under a lot of pressure, I go there to relax. Shooting can relieve stress."
"I have a Black Card there."
"You can take my Black Card and play with any gun you want."
"You can go now. I'll watch over Xiaoxi."
Lin Chen nodded.
He felt reassured with Xu Guofeng watching over Lin Xiaoxi.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Chen arrived at the shooting range.
He picked up a gun.
He had gained a lot of shooting experience playing at the amusement park with Lin Xiaoxi, and now holding the gun felt familiar.
Bang, bang, bang!
Lin Chen fired three shots in a row.
The first shot was slightly off, but the second and third shots were very accurate. He seemed like a veteran soldier.
Time ticked by.
Lin Chen had gotten to try out all sorts of firearms.
He had gained experience with all kinds of firearms; no matter what kind of gun it was, he could use it quite well.
"You... good."
A blonde woman approached Lin Chen.
She spoke in broken Chinese.
Lin Chen asked in fluent English, "I speak English. Can I help you?"
The blonde woman's eyes lit up. "Your English is very good. I want to hire a bodyguard, and your marksmanship is excellent. I'd like you to be my bodyguard."
"One month, ten thousand US dollars."
Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.
Ten thousand US dollars for one month wasn't a small sum.
"I'm sorry, I'm just here to have some fun. And I'm going back to my country soon, so I can't be your bodyguard."
"With ten thousand US dollars, you could hire several professional bodyguards."
Lin Chen shook his head, refusing.
The blonde woman said, "The people causing me trouble are quite capable. I'm afraid there might be problems with people from professional bodyguard companies, which is why I came to the shooting range to find someone myself."
"I'll give you two hundred thousand US dollars a month."
Lin Chen shook his head. "I don't need the money. It's not about the money, miss. Go find someone else."
"Three hundred thousand US dollars."
"I can pay you one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars upfront."
The blonde woman still wouldn't give up.
Lin Chen still shook his head.
At this moment, two people walked towards Lin Chen and the others.
Their hands reached inside their clothes.
Lin Chen could feel the killing intent in their eyes.
"Damn it!"
Lin Chen cursed inwardly. Trouble had arrived.
The two approaching figures pulled out guns from under their clothes.
One of them aimed at Lin Chen.
Bang, bang!
Lin Chen quickly fired two shots.
The two shots accurately hit the space between the eyebrows of the two men.
Since these two wanted to kill him as well, he wouldn't be polite. They had guns; being polite would get him killed.
The blonde woman froze.
"You saved my life. This is my card. If I can survive this month, I'll use my family's resources to help you once if you have any trouble."
The blonde woman took out a business card that looked very ordinary.
Lin Chen frowned.
"Their bodies—"
The blonde woman said, "Don't worry about that. Give me the gun, and I'll say I killed them. My family will handle it, and the police won't bother you."
Lin Chen handed the gun to the blonde woman.
"I don't need your help, but don't let trouble come my way either."
"We'll never meet again."
Lin Chen quickly departed.
The blonde woman dialed a number: "Andrew, two assassins came to kill me, but I killed them. I'm at—"
"Get someone to handle their bodies."
After leaving the shooting range, Lin Chen took a taxi to another location. He switched taxis several times before returning to the hotel.
"Daddy!"
"Where did you go, Daddy?"
Lin Xiaoxi was already awake and approached him happily.
Lin Chen bent down and picked up Lin Xiaoxi.
"Dad has to go out for a bit."
"Is Xixi a good girl? Did you cause any trouble?"
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and asked.
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head: "I didn't cause any trouble. I was drawing with Grandpa, and I drew better than Grandpa, hehe."
Xu Guofeng exclaimed, "Lin Chen, Xixi has a high talent for drawing; it should be inherited from you."
Lin Chen put Lin Xiaoxi down: "Xixi, you can draw for a while, draw a picture for Grandpa and Grandma."
"Uncle Xu, I want to talk to you about something."
Lin Xiaoxi was painting in the bedroom while Lin Chen and Xu Guofeng were in the living room. Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled expression. "Lin Chen, you seem off. What happened?"
Lin Chen recounted what had happened at the shooting range.
"The business card?"
Xu Guofeng asked.
Lin Chen handed the business card to Xu Guofeng.
Xu Guofeng looked at the business card, surprise evident in his eyes.
"Lin Chen, this family is quite powerful."
"Saving Solina might not be a bad thing."
Xu Guofeng said.
Lin Chen: "Uncle Xu, do you know this family?"
Xu Guofeng nodded, "I know a little. This family is at least ten times stronger than our Xu Family."
"Is Solina pretty?"
Lin Chen: "..."
He shook his head, "So-so. Uncle Xu, I killed those two assassins. Won't I get into trouble? Aren't you asking the wrong question?"
Xu Guofeng said, "Even if people find out, it's only natural you'd retaliate if they were trying to kill you."
"They won't provoke our Xu Family over two dead people."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
He thought to himself, I need to improve my combat ability.
The most reliable thing is one's own strength.
