Outside the car at this moment, Liu Yilin and Fang Qing excitedly took out a tablet and opened the surveillance they had placed in the room beforehand to watch the scene after Ning Beichen entered.
"Fang Qing, is what we're doing okay?" Liu Yilin said with some concern.
"What are you afraid of? Do you want this guy to keep threatening you with that matter? Now he's only asking to live in your house. Next, he'll probably threaten you into living in your room." Fang Qing's tone was defiant, as if she didn't mind things escalating.
The thought of that terrible scenario made Liu Yilin shake her head. She then started watching the surveillance footage on the tablet with Fang Qing.
Soon, the two women were dumbfounded.
Ning Beichen was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The thugs Fang Qing had arranged to deal with him were like pitiful lambs being violently manhandled by Ning Beichen in the footage.
"We're finished!" This was Fang Qing's first reaction.
"This is big trouble, we're going to be exposed." This was Liu Yilin's first reaction.
The two women became flustered inside the car. Although Fang Qing had appeared confident before, her courage was not much greater than Liu Yilin's.
"What should we do... what should we do? That guy is so fierce, he'll definitely come out for revenge. We're doomed, rich lady Liu, we're dead this time." Fang Qing shivered with fear.
"Should we call the police?" Liu Yilin had no good ideas either.
"No, we can't call the police. We were the ones trying to harm him, the police will arrest us." Fang Qing exclaimed urgently.
"Then... then we'll use this." Liu Yilin took out a stun gun from her bag, rumored to be able to cook a pig.
"Yes, yes, we'll use this." Fang Qing's eyes lit up upon seeing the stun gun, nodding eagerly like a drowning person grasping at a straw.
Just as they were in a state of panic, they saw Ning Beichen emerge from the building.
To their fearful expressions, Ning Beichen walked to the side of the car as if nothing had happened and said to Liu Yilin.
"Boss, there were no documents in the room, only a few thugs. They suddenly attacked me, and I disabled them."
"I interrogated one of them. They said it was a misunderstanding, and they were trying to deal with someone else. I just barged in. As for the documents, they don't know anything. Could it be that the person with the documents didn't show up?"
"If there aren't any, then forget it. Perhaps that guy offended someone. Shall we go?"
Liu Yilin's heart, which had been in her throat, had been prepared for Ning Beichen's revenge. To her surprise, he seemed oblivious to the fact that the thugs in the room were arranged by them to deal with him. Her anxious heart finally settled.
"Oh, alright then."
"Huh? Boss, when did you get another woman in your car?" Ning Beichen finally noticed a woman with dyed red hair in the car.
"She's my good friend. She lives nearby and saw my car, so she came over to chat." Liu Yilin quickly came up with an excuse.
"Hello, I'm your boss's bestie. My name is Fang Qing. You must be her personal bodyguard, right? You need to protect our rich lady well."
"Of course, it's my job, I'm professional, you don't need to doubt it." Ning Beichen looked at her strangely and muttered to himself.
"This woman's heart rate is higher than normal, indicating she's very flustered. Her eyes avoid direct contact with me, probably due to guilt. It seems this woman is not a good person. Should I warn the boss?"
"Perhaps not. I'm just a bodyguard, I should just do my job to avoid being accused of instigating trouble between them."
"Alright, Yilin, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Let's meet again another time." Fang Qing winked at Liu Yilin, pretending their encounter was purely by chance, then opened the car door and left in a hurry.
"Fine, let's go too." Liu Yilin quietly put the stun gun back into her bag and, regaining her expressionless demeanor, said to Ning Beichen.
"Yes, boss." Ning Beichen got into the driver's seat and drove away.
"Bastard, you poor loser, I don't believe I can't deal with you. You just wait." After Ning Beichen's car drove off, Fang Qing cautiously emerged from behind a large tree and yelled in the direction the car had gone.
"But that guy is so badass! He took down so many people by himself. Those guys were useless, they boasted about how capable they were, but in the end, so many of them couldn't even beat one poor loser. I need to find someone even more capable." Fang Qing grumbled in dissatisfaction, her intention to deal with Ning Beichen still intact.
...
"This villa is currently occupied only by me. However, a maid comes to tidy up every day. The worker's room on the first floor is your room. I live on the second floor. You are not allowed upstairs without my permission." Back home, Liu Yilin said to Ning Beichen.
"Okay, no problem. But to ensure your safety, I need to install some surveillance cameras in your villa." Ning Beichen said.
"Do as you please. I'm tired, you handle it." Liu Yilin kicked off her high heels with her feet, one after the other, and went upstairs barefoot.
An hour later.
Liu Yilin ran up to Ning Beichen, her face flushed with anger, and roared.
"Ning Beichen, didn't I tell you not to go upstairs?"
"Boss, I need to install surveillance cameras on the second floor. Only then can I guarantee your safety." Ning Beichen said innocently, holding several surveillance cameras and some wires.
"Alright, I won't argue about that. But why did you install a surveillance camera in my bathroom!" Liu Yilin furiously demanded, holding a camera she had just ripped down.
"This, I was worried that a bad person might sneak in while you were bathing." Ning Beichen explained, listing a series of cases with sound reasoning. In reality, it wasn't as exaggerated as she claimed; Ning Beichen had only installed a camera at the entrance of the bathroom, not one that could monitor the inside.
"I think *you* are the bad guy! Remove all the surveillance cameras on the second floor immediately, right now, or you won't have to come to work tomorrow!" Liu Yilin roared at him like a fierce dragon.
"Fine, fine, you're the boss, you call the shots." Ning Beichen had no choice but to compromise. He had no interest in this ice queen; he was only doing it to appease the old man's request. Ning Beichen quickly went upstairs and removed the surveillance cameras. However, he still intentionally left one surveillance camera in a more vulnerable location on the second floor and hid it, just in case of a real emergency that would prevent him from rescuing her in time.
