Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 This Person is Not Simple

"Alright, the test is over; let's go."

Cai Yin said with a smile, and then the three of them left and returned to the reception area.

Walking up to the service desk, Cai Yin pulled out a contract and handed it to Liu Chen, smiling as she said, "Liu Chen, this is the contract. If you have no objections, go ahead and sign this contract.

The contract is for one year. After a year, if you wish to continue with this job, we can renew the contract."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chen nodded, briefly scanned it, signed his name on the contract, and then both Cai Yin and Liu Chen each took a copy.

"Congratulations, Liu Chen, from now on you are our partner. Welcome to Yongde Security Company."

Cai Yin said, extending her delicate palm with a smile.

Liu Chen smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

He said, reaching out and clasping his hand with Cai Yin's delicate palm.

Just as the soft feeling had begun to arise in Liu Chen's heart, Cai Yin's palm suddenly increased its strength, but her face showed no change, still smiling as before.

"Testing me again?"

Liu Chen thought to himself but didn't voice his thoughts. However, his face suddenly became much more unsightly with a tinge of pain.

Seeing this, Cai Yin quickly withdrew her strength, releasing her hand, but Liu Chen's palm was visibly red, clearly indicating the significant force Cai Yin had applied earlier.

When Cai Yin released her strength, Liu Chen's face rapidly improved, but there was a flash of anger in his eyes, seemingly questioning why Cai Yin had to grip so tightly.

"Sorry, Liu Chen, I was a bit distracted just now, sorry, really sorry."

Cai Yin said, her face full of apologies, but her inner doubts were only growing stronger.

"Oh, no worries, no worries, if there's nothing else I'll take my leave."

Liu Chen said, not looking too pleased.

"Yeah, remember to come to work on time tomorrow," Cai Yin said with a smile.

Liu Chen nodded in agreement, then started walking away from Yongde Security Company.

After he had left, Cai Yin's expression became serious, and she couldn't help but ask, "Kuang Lei, what do you make of this Liu Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Kuang Lei gave a wry smile: "Damn it, I have no clue either!"

Kuang Lei felt even more perplexed than Cai Yin.

It was at this moment that the usually taciturn Kuang Lei suddenly spoke up: "This person is no simple matter."

"How can you tell?"

Kuang Lei eagerly asked, and Cai Yin, who was nearby, also turned her gaze toward Kuang Lei.

"Intuition!" Kuang Lei said coolly.

"Uh." At his words, both Cai Yin and Kuang Lei were momentarily taken aback, then exchanged wry smiles.

At this time, Liu Chen was walking on the street, filled with interest toward Yongde Security Company.

Because this security company was far from ordinary, definitely not run-of-the-mill.

Especially the strength of both Kuang Lei and the man called Black Ghost was immense, not to mention Cai Yin herself, whose power was even a few shades mightier than that of Kuang Lei and Black Ghost.

"So work can be this interesting too. It looks like I might be here for the long haul,"

He thought, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Originally, Liu Chen had considered finding an ordinary job to experience the life of an ordinary person.

However, after joining Yongde Security Company, Liu Chen found it intriguing and wanted to stay, but he was far from being an ordinary person. Could living an ordinary life be so easy for him?

The answer is definitely not, so he might as well not live as an ordinary person.

As for hiding his strength, Liu Chen didn't give it much thought; he would conceal as much as possible, reveal only what was necessary, and make sure his true identity wasn't exposed.

Checking the time and seeing it was not yet ten in the morning, Liu Chen had nowhere else to go, so after some thought, he returned to his rented apartment, which wasn't far from there.

Arriving back at the apartment at exactly ten, Liu Chen unlocked the door and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the room, Liu Chen saw Qin Lu sitting in the living room, eating, her beautiful face no longer as cold as before.

Seeing Qin Lu eating, Liu Chen was at a loss for words for a moment, since the events of yesterday were still somewhat awkward.

"Did you go job hunting?"

As Liu Chen hesitated on how to greet Qin Lu, she spoke up.

"Ah, yes, I just went out and about, and I was lucky to find a job as a security guard."

Liu Chen smiled and said.

"Security? There's no future in that job."

Qin Lu said indifferently before ignoring Liu Chen and continuing to eat on her own.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Money wasn't an issue for him; he just wanted to find a job, get married, and live out the rest of his life in peace and stability.

"It's alright, I don't have many ambitions. A simple and uneventful life is good enough for me."

Liu Chen said with a smile, then sat down on one side of the sofa.

From this spot, Liu Chen could just catch a glimpse of Qin Lu's profile.

Seeing that captivating silhouette, Liu Chen found himself staring, spellbound. Qin Lu was truly beautiful at that moment, her profile exuding charm, beauty, and a hint of innocence.

It was a peculiar combination, but it made one incredibly anxious.

To speak frankly, Liu Chen really wanted to pin this woman down on the bed and conquer her fiercely!

It wasn't that Liu Chen was too lustful; it was just that upon seeing such a beauty, it seemed any normal man would think the same.

"Watch your eyes!"

While Liu Chen was gazing intently, Qin Lu turned her head and said with some disgust.

Hearing this, Liu Chen felt embarrassed, gave an awkward smile, and then turned his head away.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the living room became awkward again.

After a while, Liu Chen finally broke the silence, "That Zhang Xiaotian hasn't been bothering you, has he?"

"I don't need you meddling in my business!"

Qin Lu glared at Liu Chen and said somewhat agitatedly.

Seeing this, Liu Chen fell silent, nodded, and headed back to his room.

He had nothing else to do anyway, except rest, and that was all he could do.

Lying on the bed, Liu Chen had nothing to occupy him and soon drifted off to sleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept when he was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Getting up from bed, Liu Chen asked with a frown.

"Big brother Liu, it's Lin Xueting. Qin and I made some food, why don't you join us for a bit?"

Outside the room, Lin Xueting spoke with a pleasant voice that was quite melodious.

"Oh, Miss Lin, I'll be right there."

Saying this, Liu Chen straightened his clothes and opened the door to step out.

"Big brother Liu, you can just call me Xueting, no need for formalities like 'Miss Lin,' it's too polite."

Lin Xueting said with a laugh, appearing easygoing and worldly.

"Uh, alright then, I'll call you Xueting without standing on ceremony."

Liu Chen said smilingly as he looked at Lin Xueting.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueting smiled and nodded, indicating it was okay.

And so, the two of them chatted as they walked toward the dining table in the living room.

At the dining table, Qin Lu was already seated, her face alluring yet aloof, as if she wasn't in the best of moods.

Liu Chen didn't say much, afraid of provoking this stunning woman.

"Xueting, is there something wrong with your leg?"

Sitting at the dining table, Liu Chen asked with some confusion.

"Ah, no, it's nothing, I just bumped it a bit today."

Lin Xueting said with a laugh, although there was a slight unnaturalness to her expression.

Hearing this, Liu Chen frowned slightly and reached out to touch Lin Xueting's thigh.

Lin Xueting was wearing black stockings, thin as the wings of a cicada, hardly concealing the allure of her shapely legs.

When Liu Chen's hand touched her thigh, he felt a warmth and a soft sensation.
