"Drive," Shen Man threw the keys to Chen Yun, opened the door to the back seat and got into the car.
Chen Yun did not think much of it. No matter what his previous status was, he had to do his job well since he had become Shen Man's bodyguard.
"Where to?" Chen Yun sat in the driver's seat and asked.
"You can drive, right?" Shen Man suddenly thought about this and looked at Chen Yun hesitantly.
"Who are you looking down on? I can even fly a fighter jet," Chen Yun pouted and started the car skillfully.
"Will you die if you don't brag?" Shen Man heaved a long sigh helplessly. Just how big was this guy's heart? To think he acted as if nothing had happened even after beating Xu Xiucai.
"Do you not know Xu Xiucai?" Shen Man asked as she leaned against the car seat tiredly.
"Why? Should I know him?" Chen Yun drove the car out of the parking lot and asked indifferently.
"Xu Xiucai is the number one nouveau riche in Ning'an City. His father is in charge of the city's largest company, and his uncle is the boss of the fearsome underground gang here," Shen Man said in a low voice. The well-known career woman in Ning'an City had a rare look of helplessness on her face.
"So?" Chen Yun's expression did not change.
"So..." Shen Man almost choked on her words and laughed out of anger, "So? Now that you hit him, do you know what the consequences are?"
"I'm the one who hit him, it has nothing to do with you. If Xu Xiucai wants to get back at me, he can come to me directly," Chen Yun didn't think much of Xu Xiucai, whether it was in terms of wealth or power.
In terms of wealth, Chen Yun was the young master of the Chen family in the Capital. Among the three generations of the Chen family, the older generation led by Chen Yun's grandfather was deeply involved in the military, while Chen Yun's father was involved in the political and business world. They were an unimaginable behemoth.
By the time Chen Yun was born, his grandfather had ignored the family's objections and sent him to the Xuanyuan Group, which was known as the number one sword of Great Xia.
Wherever the soldiers went, everyone else was just ants!
Chen Yun entered the Xuanyuan Group at the age of seven and learned martial arts from his Master. He then displayed extremely high talent. At the age of 13, Chen Yun stepped into the treacherous and unpredictable underground world and made a name for himself!
On the international Red List of the underground world, Chen Yun was ranked first with the title of Long Hun!
The Red List represented extreme danger!
"It's best if that happens," Shen Man said coldly.
"You still haven't told me where we're going," Chen Yun reminded.
Shen Man paused and looked at Chen Yun in shock, "Well then, where are you driving to now?"
"A hotel. How about I give you a 30% discount tonight?" Chen Yun chuckled and asked.
"Go to hell!" Shen Man was infuriated. She did not maintain her good manners, which was a rare sight. She cursed through gritted teeth.
"We're in the same car now. Do you want to die with me?" Chen Yun teased Shen Man. It was not that he was interested in Shen Man or that he was a lecherous person who wanted to bring her to a hotel. He was just bored and wanted to tease her for fun.
Shen Man realized that she was no match for Chen Yun when it came to bickering.
"Go to..." Shen Man's words trailed off. She had a place to go, but it was not convenient for her to go since Chen Yun was driving now.
"Go to No. 23 Jinghua Road," Shen Man changed her mind and gave him an address.
Bang!
When they arrived at their destination, Shen Man slammed the door and got out of the car in anger.
This bastard's mouth was really too detestable!
Shen Man stopped after a few steps. She turned around and stared at Chen Yun with a frown, "Why are you following me?"
"I'm your personal bodyguard," Chen Yun didn't even blink as he said matter-of-factly.
"I'm going home now," Shen Man looked at Chen Yun in shock as she spoke word by word.
"Of course I know you're going home. Why else would I be called a personal bodyguard?" Chen Yun returned the question, his tone making it sound as if Shen Man was in the wrong.
Shen Man laughed out of anger. Did this guy even know what courtesy, honor, and shame are? Did he know what the saying "men and women should keep a distance from each other" meant?
His head was probably filled with dirty thoughts!
"Personal? What kind?" Shen Man's face was filled with disgust and disdain.
"I'm fine with anything," Chen Yun shrugged his shoulders, his face indifferent.
"Get lost!" Shen Man shouted coldly and clenched her fists.
"Sigh, it's really hard to deal with uncooperative protection targets," Chen Yun sighed, turned around and left.
Shen Man heaved a long sigh of relief. She waited for Chen Yun's figure to disappear before she returned to the car.
The Mercedes-Benz drove all the way to the abandoned industrial area of Ning'an City. This area had been the economic pillar of Ning'an City in the early years. However, after the economic transformation and upgrade of the city, the industrial area had slowly become abandoned.
Shen Man parked her car and carefully observed her surroundings before she walked into a factory building.
The factory looked abandoned, but Shen Man had bought it two years ago.
The factory was huge. She made a few turns before she finally entered a workshop.
Shen Man removed a piece of rag to reveal a door underneath.
After entering a complicated password, the secret door opened, revealing a staircase.
There was a dim light in the passageway. Shen Man carefully closed the door after she entered.
This place was originally the factory's basement that had been modified into a warehouse for raw materials, but now it was a completely different world!
A group of people in protective clothing were engrossed in their experiments. They did not even notice Shen Man's arrival.
This was because they believed in the absolute safety of this place! Other than Shen Man, no one else knew the password to the main door.
"How's the research and development going?" Shen Man looked at them nervously and expectantly as she asked.
"The progress has reached 70%," An old voice sounded.
Shen Man was excited, but she was soon doused with a bucket of cold water.
"CEO Shen, don't be happy too soon. We don't know how long it will take for the remaining 30% to be completed. The time taken for scientific research and development can not be measured in proportion. Maybe a groundbreaking achievement will be made in a few months, or maybe... We will never see it in our lifetime. "
Shen Man took a deep breath and calmed down a little, "Professor Han, I know. No matter what, I'll support you with all my might!"
Once the research was developed, Xinke Materials would shock the world!
At that time, the Xu family of Ning'an City would be nothing!
And now, what she needed to do was to support Xinke Materials and try to keep Xu Xiucai at bay as much as possible.
"CEO Shen, there's no need for the empty talk. We're running out of consumables and we don't have much funds left," Professor Han said coldly.
It was not that he had a problem with Shen Man. He had always been like this.
"Alright, I'll send them over as soon as possible!" Shen Man said hurriedly, but her heart was bitter.
Recently, Xinke Materials had been suppressed by the Xu Group, and their profitability had been greatly reduced. They were almost out of capital, so how much money could she have to invest in research and development?
However, she had to think of a way. This was Xinke Materials and her only chance!
