Liu Yifei pulled Wang Chao aside, her expression filled with excitement. "Brother Wang, you have to help me with something."
"What's the matter?" Wang Chao looked puzzled.
"Be my boyfriend," Liu Yifei said with fiery eyes.
"Huh?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
Was Liu Yifei confessing her feelings?
Was she being that direct?
Seeing Wang Chao's expression, Liu Yifei realized that he might have misunderstood. Her face reddened, and she explained in a low voice, "My family has arranged many blind dates for me recently, and it's been bothering me. I can't focus on my pharmaceutical research."
"So I was thinking, could you pretend to be my boyfriend and help me fend off those annoying suitors?"
Wang Chao suddenly understood. "You mean you want me to be your shield, right?"
Liu Yifei looked embarrassed. "Yes, that's the idea. Can you agree to it?"
She gazed at Wang Chao with eager and expectant eyes.
"I'm your brother's mentor and also your colleague. Helping you with something like this is no big deal. However, I'm curious to know what's in it for me," Wang Chao chuckled.
"What do you want in return?" Liu Yifei asked.
Seeing her eager and hopeful eyes, Wang Chao's playful side was suddenly aroused, and he joked, "Well, my request is not too demanding. For every suitor I manage to get rid of, preventing them from bothering you, you can reward me with a kiss. How about that?"
"Are you being a rogue?" Liu Yifei's expression darkened.
As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Bing from the corner of her eye, only to find that Shen Bing had disappeared, not knowing where she had gone.
"Being a shield is a thankless job, and I might offend a lot of people because of it. I can't do it without any benefits, right?" Wang Chao continued jokingly.
Hearing Wang Chao's words, Liu Yifei's face became even redder, and she shyly lowered her head.
Seeing her reaction, Wang Chao found it quite amusing, but at the same time, he felt that his joke might have gone too far. He smiled and was about to speak to Liu Yifei, telling her that he was just joking.
However, at that moment, Liu Yifei suddenly tiptoed and planted a kiss on Wang Chao's lips. She then blew a gentle breath into his ear and whispered softly, "Deal."
After saying that, she blushed even more, turned around quickly, and ran away. Her heart was pounding like a startled deer, almost bursting out of her chest.
Ah, ah, ah, ah!!
Liu Yifei, do you even know what you're doing?
This is the company! How could you kiss him in a situation like this?
It's so embarrassing!
Liu Yifei ran while her heart raced, her face blushing to the point of almost bleeding.
Although Liu Yifei was already in her twenties, she had never been in a relationship before, and her first kiss was still intact. Now, in such an impulsive situation, she had given her first kiss to Wang Chao, leaving her feeling shy and embarrassed.
"Well..."
Wang Chao touched his lips and stood there stunned.
He had clearly been joking just now and was about to explain himself. But before he could say anything, Liu Yifei had kissed him, leaving him bewildered.
However, Liu Yifei was indeed very beautiful, and the kiss was sweet and enjoyable.
"Just one kiss for being a shield... It does not seem quite worth it," Wang Chao murmured to himself.
Being a shield came with a high cost and required facing many young masters and gentlemen. It would be difficult to win them over and prevent them from pursuing or bothering Liu Yifei. It would take time and energy.
Just one kiss seemed like a bad deal!
As Wang Chao thought about this, he left the room and returned to the security department.
"Boss."
"Boss."
At this moment, Zhou Xinghe and Chen Yong were already waiting in the security room. When they saw Wang Chao return, they both walked over.
"Chen Yong, you did a great job yesterday," Wang Chao patted Chen Yong's shoulder.
He had anticipated that Shen Dongshan would send someone to kill Chen Yong, so he had asked Chen Yong to leave quickly and arranged for Zhou Xinghe to pursue him.
Before Zhou Xinghe arrived, Chen Yong must have experienced quite a bit of fright.
"It was nothing. As long as the problem is solved," Chen Yong smiled.
"Don't worry, Shen Dongshan is disabled now. They won't come after you anymore. You've worked hard. Go back to your post," Wang Chao patted Chen Yong's shoulder.
"Yes!"
Chen Yong's face was filled with excitement as he immediately ran back to his work station to continue his duties.
Seeing this scene, Little Wang, Wang Hongyao, and everyone else were stunned.
At this moment, they all understood.
Chen Yong and Wang Chao had been acting and deceiving Shen Dongshan!
"This!" Little Wang's mouth hung open, unable to utter a word.
"Wang Chao's fake death was too realistic!" Wang Hongyao's eyes were filled with shock, and his emotions were like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time.
The others were also in a state of shock and disbelief.
Most of them had already checked and confirmed that Wang Chao had no breath, heartbeat, or pulse. Even his body temperature had started to drop. He was undeniably a lifeless body.
However, in this situation, Wang Chao was pretending!
"Don't stare anymore, everyone go back to work."
Wang Chao glanced at the others, signaling them to return to their duties. Then his gaze fell on Zhang Jian, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhang Jian, come to my office."
Zhang Jian's heart skipped a beat upon hearing his name, and he trembled all over.
Wang Chao had called him, could it be that he knew about the transaction between Zhang Jian and Shen Dongshan?
"Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Hurry up and come in!" Zhou Xinghe scolded Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian didn't dare to defy and could only steel himself and walk into Wang Chao's office.
After Zhang Jian entered Wang Chao's office, Zhou Xinghe left and went back to protect Shen Bing.
Inside the Minister's office at the Security Department:
Zhang Jian walked in, looking somewhat nervous as he glanced at Wang Chao. "Minister Wang, do you have something to discuss with me?"
Wang Chao was sitting on the sofa, brewing tea. He looked up at Zhang Jian and uttered calmly, "Close the door and the windows first."
Close the door and the windows?
Was he going to trap Zhang Jian like a cornered animal?
Zhang Jian felt even more anxious upon hearing this.
However, he also knew that Wang Chao was immensely powerful, and he could not resist him. He couldn't possibly escape from Wang Chao's grasp. He could only close the door and windows, feeling extremely uneasy as he looked at Wang Chao.
"Do not just stand there, sit down," Wang Chao said.
Zhang Jian did not dare to disobey and sat down.
The soft sofa felt like sitting on pins and needles to him. His buttocks were sore, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Wang Chao brewed a pot of tea, poured some tea on the water-absorbing toad-shaped mold in the tea set, then cleaned a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhang Jian. He looked at him calmly and smiled, "Have some tea first."
Zhang Jian, feeling guilty, took the teacup and was about to drink it. But the hot tea scalded his mouth, causing him to scream and quickly put the cup down, panting.
"The tea was just boiled. If you drink it like that, of course, you'll get scalded. When doing important things, you must stay calm and not panic," Wang Chao uttered calmly.
Zhang Jian felt even more uneasy upon hearing those words.
Wang Chao was clearly saying more than meets the eye.
With a forced smile, Zhang Jian asked, "Minister Wang, did you call me here just to have tea?"
Wang Chao took a sip of tea and smiled as he looked at Zhang Jian. "Do you really have nothing to say to me?"
