"To fulfill the mission assigned by the old man, I tolerate your icy demeanor, no, that's wrong, it's more like Empress Dowager Miejue!"
Ning Beichen muttered to himself.
"I have an important client to meet shortly. Go and bring the car over."
Liu Yilin said to him.
"Yes, boss."
Ning Beichen went down to the garage and drove the car over, parking it by the company entrance. Soon, he saw Liu Yilin had changed into a black dress. She looked noble and elegant, exuding a perfect aura. Even Ning Beichen, who had seen countless top models, was captivated by her.
But he quickly shivered, telling himself not to indulge in wild thoughts. This woman was a perpetually frozen iceberg, as heartless as Empress Dowager Miejue, a workaholic like a dog...
The world is so beautiful, the air is so fresh, and there are still so many passionate top models in the world. Why should he freeze himself to death on an iceberg?
Ning Beichen quickly got out of the car to open the door for her, then drove away from the company.
"Boss, where are we going?"
Ning Beichen asked.
"To the Taekwondo gymnasium in Huangpu."
Liu Yilin replied.
"Alright, boss."
Ning Beichen didn't doubt her and drove towards the Taekwondo gymnasium. He was a little curious why she chose a Taekwondo gymnasium instead of a high-class venue like a restaurant or club to meet a client.
But it wasn't his business. He had seen even stranger clients; this was nothing.
Before long, Ning Beichen drove to the Taekwondo gymnasium and got out to open the door for Liu Yilin.
However, at this moment.
Ning Beichen suddenly sensed someone peeping at him from a window on the upper floor. He immediately looked up and seemed to see the figure of a girl in a red dress.
But Ning Beichen didn't perceive any danger and soon ignored it.
Just as Liu Yilin was about to enter, Ning Beichen suddenly grabbed her hand. Liu Yilin felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her first reaction was that Ning Beichen was going to do something bad to her. Her tensed nerves made her pull out pepper spray from her body and, without thinking, sprayed it towards Ning Beichen's face.
"Ah! Boss, what did you spray on my face?"
Ning Beichen screamed, feeling his face burning, unable to even open his eyes. The man who could silence a crying infant in a certain field was now screaming miserably.
It wasn't that he couldn't dodge it, but he simply couldn't imagine his boss using pepper spray on him.
"You... what do you want? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you!"
Liu Yilin held the pepper spray, occasionally spraying it at Ning Beichen, looking like a victim, which made Ning Beichen miserable.
If she weren't his boss, and the woman his master had explicitly asked him to protect, Ning Beichen would have already turned Liu Yilin's twin peaks into the Pacific Ocean. Did he really earn the title of Ning Yanwang on his own?
"Boss, I'm not doing anything! I just want to protect you. As your bodyguard, I cannot let you go in until I've confirmed your safety."
Ning Beichen explained with a wronged expression.
"Really?"
Liu Yilin still held the pepper spray pointed at Ning Beichen's face, looking half-convinced. More importantly, she had been brainwashed by her best friend and had a preconceived notion that Ning Beichen was approaching her with ulterior motives.
"Yes, boss. It's broad daylight, what could I possibly do to you?"
Ning Beichen explained with frustration. This pepper spray was actually made from chili water, which was effective against ordinary people, but it didn't affect him that much. He recovered from it within a second or two.
"Don't touch me so suddenly next time."
Although Liu Yilin wished she could throw Ning Beichen into the river, she didn't have the guts to do such a thing alone. It was all her fault for inexplicably going to a bar alone that night and then losing her virginity in a muddled state.
"I understand, boss. Why do you have such a thing?"
Ning Beichen looked at the pepper spray in her hand strangely and then asked her, "Boss, isn't this spray specifically for defending against me?"
"No, it's just for self-defense..."
However, before she could finish, an electric stun gun fell from her body. When it hit the ground, it might have triggered a mechanism, and the stun gun emitted a crackling sound of electricity, making Ning Beichen's eyelids twitch. He always felt this woman had ill intentions towards him.
"This is also for self-defense."
Liu Yilin picked up the electric stun gun, which was said to be able to cook a pig, and put it away in a flustered manner.
"Boss, do you have many enemies?"
Ning Beichen found it hard to imagine a girl carrying so many self-defense items.
"Just in case."
Liu Yilin replied, feigning composure.
"Boss, I'm your personal bodyguard now. With me here, no one can harm you. You don't need to carry these things anymore."
Ning Beichen told her.
"Mind your own business."
Liu Yilin gave him an icy glare. Little did Ning Beichen know, she wasn't defending against anyone but him, Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen made a helpless expression and stopped talking. Anyway, he would return to his heavenly world in a year. He didn't care what this woman did.
It was a pity, though, that he hadn't figured out why his master had sent him back from afar to protect her. No matter how he looked at it, Liu Yilin was just an ordinary woman with nothing special about her.
Soon, the two entered the Taekwondo gymnasium. What Ning Beichen didn't know was that Liu Yilin wasn't here to meet an important client at all. It was a trap set by her good friend Fang Qing to deal with him.
Therefore, the moment they entered the Taekwondo gymnasium, the trap had already begun.
"Miss Fang, please rest assured, I guarantee that young man won't be leaving my gymnasium today."
In a living room on the third floor of the Taekwondo gymnasium, a man with a square face and yellow hair confidently promised Fang Qing.
"It's best if you do. You've seen his combat videos. This Ning Beichen is very fierce. Don't mess this up."
Fang Qing warned him.
"The people he dealt with in the videos were just thugs who knew no martial arts. I can handle a hundred such useless scoundrels. He's doomed against my Taekwondo. Of all the martial arts in the world, Taekwondo reigns supreme."
Liu Zhe said dismissively of Ning Beichen.
"Good. I hope your skills are commensurate with the payment I've given you."
After saying that, Fang Qing left happily. The thugs from last time couldn't deal with this guy, so this time she had spared no expense and found the owner of this Taekwondo gymnasium to deal with Ning Beichen.
