Song Lan was in a good mood so she didn't pay any mind to the students pushing each other to get out of her way as she approached the line. She arrived at the back of the line humming.
The guy in front of her was carelessly scrolling on his phone, but heard a sweet voice humming behind him and the faint smell of fresh baby powder-like scent also enticed his senses. He excitedly perked up. It must be a beauty ah!
Once he turned around, he almost shit his pants, stuttering, "B-boss Sun!"
Ayo! It truly is a beauty ah, the crazy psycho one!
His voice was almost like a cold water poured on everyone in line, he scurried over to the side. It was almost like a domino effect and they all parted from a neat line to a panicked messy bunch.
Song Lan only looked at the guy approvingly. She was actually feeling quite impatient as she was already hungry. I guess my good vibes didn't make them sense this young miss coming!
She walked on with her head held high and reached the counter, choosing and getting her food.
The guy in the front of Song Lan earlier was still dazed. 'Ayo, why does the crazy gangster look particularly pretty and ladylike today?'
He soon snapped out of it and shook his head, horrified at his own thoughts.
A few days after, in Ji Security Group's headquarters...
Guo Sichen's brows furrowed while reading the information on his hand. "Uncle has been helping an American syndicate in smuggling billions of dollars worth of drugs in the country?"
Zhao Lei standing on the side nodded in confirmation, "Our investigation team had recovered traces of their recent transaction, but it isn't solid enough to be presented at court. The mole we have planted in Mr. Ji Shin's end is still pursuing the matter. Moreover, he suspects that they are bigger and other crimes happening."
Zhao Lei paused and hesitated, "And master, I'm not sure whether you should know... but Mayor Sun seemed to have caught wind of this too and has a relatively solid evidence. It appears that he wants to pursue this further. Mr. Ji Shin's recent movements seem to point towards him, including his daugher, Miss Sun."
"What movements?" The hairs on Zhao Lei's back stood up at his boss' chillingly sharp voice.
"Well, some of his men have been surveilling Miss Sun, I assume to study her schedule. Our intelligence suggests that they might be planning to abduct her to use against Mayor Sun and also use him against you since Miss Sun is under your protection, it will fall into our responsibility."
"Moreover, there seems to be a traitor on Mayor Sun's side, possibly involved in the smuggling too."
This caught Guo Sichen's attention. "Are you sure of this information? How did you get this?"
"The traitor seems to be utilizing Mayor Sun's connections but this confused us since Mayor Sun seems to be investigating this matter too. So the only explanation was that a close aid to Mayor Sun is a traitor. We have yet to investigate and place a mole on Mayor Sun's side."
Guo Sichen leaned back on his swivel chair, twirling the fountain pen on his hand silently as he appeared to be contemplating.
"Nevermind that, I will handle this myself. But also send one of our female spies as an undercover maid in their main mansion." Guo Sichen commanded to which Zhao Lei nodded to.
"It seems that the time to get rid of uncle has come earlier."
Zhao Lei shivered and couldn't help but sweat buckets for Mr. Ji Shin. Ayo, what will become of you? Angering and going against the master like that...
Song Lan wanted to shop outside today, so she went outside her apartment and was startled by the presence of her bodyguard, King. It has been a few days but she was still jumpy.
Seeing her startled, King couldn't help but give an amused smile. "Good morning Miss Sun, it's rare for you to go out in the morning."
Song Lan hummed in agreement, "Good morning! That's right, it's even rare for me to get up in the morning." They walked to the elevator and pressed the button to go down. Soon, the elevator arrived and they went inside.
"Have you eaten yet Mr. King? Let's grab lunch first!" Song Lan conversed. She was feeling stuffy inside the elevator in silence so she blabbered again.
King peered on her hesitantly, "We aren't allowed to consume food from an outside source during duty Miss Sun."
Song Lan frowned. "Ayo, that big boss of yours is so strict! How'd he earn money and make business deals if he isn't amicable?" She reproached.
King felt helpless, "Well, it is exactly because he is strict that he succeeded. Being amicable with a security company isn't really favorable..."
"Hah, ruling with an iron-fist is the one that's not favorable!" Song Lan continued to badmouth his big boss as they left the elevator and got in the car.
Guo Sichen in his apartment, getting dressed suddenly sneezed, "..." Was this that feeling of someone talking bad about him?
Later in the afternoon, Master Sun who was reading documents on his study recieved a call. "What? More bodyguards?" He was dumfounded.
Zhao Lei on the other line amicably confirmed, "En. Do not worry Mayor Sun, it's free of charge. Boss personally handpicked this bodyguard for Miss Sun's safety. Pardon us for investigating but we are aware of your rift with the american syndicate and Mr. Ji Shin. Please do keep our knowledge about this to youself though." Zhao Lei didn't mention the possibility of having a traitor within his premises.
Master Sun's face immediately darkened, "I understand. But isn't Mr. Ji Shin his uncle?"
"Yes, Mayor Sun but our boss' personal relation to this person doesn't concern the operations of the company. We are also investigating this matter as the company is also affected by this."
Mayor Sun felt relieved and nodded in approval. "That's right. I admire your boss' steadfastness. I was afraid that Mr. Guo was related to this matter and was about to terminate my contract with you. Now that this matter has been cleared up, I'm relieved."
Zhao Lei smiled on the other side, admiring Mayor Sun's righteousness and added on, "The bodyguard will be coming a little later to accompany Miss Sun. Please do note that he has a busy schedule and will sometimes be swapped with another. So in total, two additional bodyguards will be operating under Miss Sun."
