The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 27 - 19: Being Followed
Chapter 27: Chapter 19: Being Followed
A beauty like her is not someone an ordinary person can see at any time. Being able to spend time with her day in and day out, I’m not sure if this is a blessing from a previous life! And is it possible that I could share a lifetime with her? As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years of practice to cross a river in the same boat, and a thousand years to share a pillow. Buddha says that five hundred glances in a past life are needed to earn a chance encounter in this one. In this vast life, how many thousands of years of waiting and prayers are needed for two people to meet, know, and eventually keep each other? How much wind and rain must one endure, accumulate abundance of good deeds and virtues, and suffer so much hardship and difficulty for heaven to bestow upon me, Lin Mu, the most beautiful thing in the human world?
If possible, I’d willingly transform into a stone bridge, bearing five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain just to let you walk over it. But not only did you walk by, you stopped and stayed with me for a lifetime, which would make my life so exhilarating because of you...
Looking at Sophie, Lin Mu had made up his mind that no matter how much danger or hardship lay ahead, as long as he had breath, he would never let the woman he loved get hurt, so the dream from earlier must never come true.
"Let’s go!" Sophie calmly arranged, then turned around and walked towards the lobby exit first.
Lin Mu couldn’t help but admire Sophie; no matter how you look at such a beautiful woman, she’s always pleasing to the eye. The only one holding them back might be himself because he not only needs to be a qualified bodyguard but also a handsome CEO’s boyfriend. Hmm, for a moment, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Unknowingly, Su Xiaowan was already waiting for them at the elevator door. Lin Mu accidentally glanced at Su Xiaowan’s bosom and suddenly noticed some inconspicuous words at the elevator entrance: "President’s Exclusive!"
He finally remembered why people would rather squeeze themselves than take this elevator when he came up with it! And the way they looked at him as if he were a beast...
The three of them reached the underground parking lot together. When the elevator doors opened again, the scene in front of him shocked Lin Mu to the core. In the center of the parking lot not far from the elevator door sat an enormous circular turntable lined with luxury cars, like a family-scale luxury car exhibition.
Rolls Royce Phantom, Bentley 730, Maybach 65, Lamborghini Murcielago, Porsche 930, Spyker C9, Ferrari, and other world top luxury cars.
Never mind Yunhai Mansion’s market value, just the cost of these luxury sports cars alone exceeded hundreds of millions. No wonder the number of luxury car stores in Wancheng has surged in recent years; Yunhai Mansion’s consumption alone accounts for half of Wancheng’s total demand!
But while envious, Lin Mu felt disdainful in his heart of Su’s Great Enterprise’s brainless money-burning behavior. If Sophie ends up with him and he can’t earn enough money to let her indulge, would it not plant a hidden danger for their future marriage?
...
Su Xiaowan held a cute little netbook and asked Sophie, "President, according to your instructions, three new luxury cars were purchased this month: a Bentley 730, a Maybach 65, and a Porsche 930. Which new car would you like to experience first?"
Sophie originally favored the elegant and stylish Porsche, but thinking about her near-death experience driving a Porsche Panamera a few days ago, only saved by Lin Mu’s timely appearance, she dared not ride a Porsche again.
Thus, with a graceful finger, she pointed, "That Bentley 730 then!"
Su Xiaowan was truly a diligent and responsible assistant. She meticulously recorded the use time and frequency of the Bentley, then made a call to the accompanying security personnel, instructing them to bring out a black BMW to accompany them. The purpose was clear: to prevent assailants from determining which car the president was in and to provide additional security with a car full of guards.
Lin Mu suddenly felt curious about the small netbook in Su Xiaowan’s hands but was embarrassed to ask directly, so he secretly took a deep breath and used his special ability. Instantly, a silver-gray layer appeared in his eyes. Through that beam of light, he saw a string of vehicle usage records in Su Xiaowan’s hands, clearly documenting each of Sophie’s perilous outings. According to the statistical data above, in just the past three months of summer, there had been over twenty assassination records, including two bomb attacks.
Even Lin Mu, a mercenary king who had been through countless brushes with life and death, couldn’t help but show a look of surprise. Only then did he realize the heavy burden on the dainty shoulders of the woman he worried about!
This frail woman faced a situation almost unimaginable to others: scheming from competitors, hostility from the mafia, and subtle attacks from peers. How could such a fragile woman endure such immense pressure?
Over the years, with Miss Su’s delicate physique, how did she survive one perilous ordeal after another?
Alright, fortunately, I, Lin Mu, have returned today. From now on, I shall not let my beautiful wife suffer any harm!
Lin Mu adjusted his neat Lomon suit and joined Sophie in the Bentley 730. The driver was already prepared. Lin Mu closed the car door, and the vehicle immediately started, driving out of the underground parking lot.
On the expressway from Wancheng to Shencheng City, two BMW 7 Series flanked the Bentley 730 front and back, slowly heading to Xiaomei Beach in Shencheng City for the Dragon Boat race.
The Dragon Boat race venue was about half an hour’s drive away, but the convoy had only been on the road for a few minutes when Lin Mu, relying on intuition, sensed a significant danger. The midday dream resurfaced in his mind, with a large Dongfeng truck loaded with mud and sand charging at them like a beast, instantly putting Su’s fleet in dire straits...
Lin Mu calmed his thoughts and looked at the two beauties, Sophie and Su Xiaowan. President Su silently browsed the floor plan of the Dragon Boat race venue, while Su Xiaowan remained quiet, her expression cautious. As Sophie’s most capable aide, she always considered the worst-case scenario thoroughly!
For this trip, Su Group’s intelligence department had long received information from the underworld that someone intended to act against Sophie on the road, which was why Su urgently recruited Lin Mu for support. The adversaries had malicious intent, and relying solely on Su’s Special Protection Team could spell trouble.
Currently, Captain Zhao Pengcheng of Su’s Special Protection Team, a retired veteran from the counterattack against Vietnam, though a bit aged, prided himself on his physical abilities not having severely declined, exuding the charm of a golden romantic middle age!
Importantly, Old Zhao, though seasoned, still harbored thoughts about President Su. Naturally, given Sophie’s looks and talent, it’s abnormal if Zhao Pengcheng didn’t harbor such thoughts. But Old Zhao’s mistake was in disregarding his status, with a world of difference between him and the young, rich, and beautiful president!
Of course, the meticulous Su Xiaowan also knew that at this moment Captain Zhao Pengcheng was also holding back a certain desire, eager to see whether he, the veteran of the Vietnam War, was more formidable or if this rookie Lin Mu, who had seemingly just started out but managed to gain the trust of the beautiful president by sheer luck, was superior?
Glancing at the two beauties, Lin Mu noticed that Sophie didn’t pay attention to him, and on the other side, Su Xiaowan’s gaze was burning towards him, like a fangirl gazing at her pop idol. But wasn’t he just a bodyguard? Even though he happened to save her once, it didn’t mean anything, plus Su Xiaowan had already thanked him, and he had accepted it; there shouldn’t be any further interaction between them, should there be?
Realizing the complexity in Su Xiaowan’s gaze, Lin Mu quickly turned his face away, looking out the window. No, that’s not right—through the rear-view mirror, he saw a car following Zhao Pengcheng’s BMW: an Audi. Even though the Audi seemed to be on its own path, Lin Mu felt it had been following them for a while. Could it be a conspiracy?
Seeing that Lin Mu’s expression seemed off, the perceptive Sophie sensed something, closed the plans in her hand, and asked Lin Mu, "What’s wrong? Did you notice something unusual?"
"Yes, the car behind us, there’s something abnormal about it!" Lin Mu pointed to the Audi in the rear-view mirror,
"Xiaowan, get in touch with Zhao Pengcheng and tell them to keep a close eye!"
"Yes, President!"
Su Xiaowan opened the internal phone, issuing a command into the intercom, "Captain Zhao, Captain Zhao, please respond!"
"Received!" Zhao Pengcheng responded softly from behind,
"Be cautious about that Audi A6 in the rear; it seems suspicious!"
"Was it that Lin Mu who told you about this?"
Zhao Pengcheng immediately guessed. Besides Lin Mu, he didn’t believe the two beauties with mere mortal eyes could discern a real phantom.
"Tell the president that the Special Protection Team hasn’t found anything amiss!"
In fact, with Zhao Pengcheng’s years of experience, he too noticed something strange about the Audi’s driving style. He observed for a long time but discovered no traces, and it appeared the car wasn’t purposefully tracking them!
Lin Mu heard this and smiled calmly without mocking Captain Zhao, instead saying quietly, "If I’m not mistaken, the moment we stepped out, they were already onto us!"
"Impossible!"
Zhao Pengcheng still held his ground. He certainly wasn’t going to let this anonymous young man win the first round under the president’s eyes, as that would lower his prestige in the Special Protection Team. Zhao Pengcheng wasn’t someone to be trampled on!
"If we’re being tailed, the Special Protection Team will alert us immediately! So, please rest assured, I, Zhao Pengcheng, guarantee on my honor that the president will be safely protected all the way!"
"Oh?" Sophie was not someone who believed without evidence or reason. As a prominent president above thousands, she naturally had her own unique perspectives. With furrowed brows, she glanced at Lin Mu, "Go on!"
"Ever since our convoy left Yunhai Mansion, that Audi A6 has been trailing Captain Zhao’s BMW, and now, after making three turns, it’s still following us, maintaining a consistent distance. Doesn’t this indicate a problem?"
Lin Mu’s words, transmitted through the wireless Bluetooth communication device, were clearly heard in the other two BMW cars, yet Zhao Pengcheng was not convinced,
"What does it prove? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival in the Pearl River Delta, a major event, so there should be many cars heading there. Maybe that Audi is just one among hundreds!"
"Okay, I’ll convince you!" Taking out his phone, it had a camera function but only 3 megapixels, so the images weren’t clear.
"Here, use mine!" Su Xiaowan, being intelligent and perceptive, guessed Lin Mu’s intention at a glance, "My phone has a camera function with 12 megapixels, and it’s very clear."
"Oh, thanks," Lin Mu accepted the petite phone from Su Xiaowan, still carrying her gentle warmth and pleasant fragrance. Upon opening it, he found it adorned with cartoon rabbits. It turned out that even a cool assistant like Su Xiaowan liked cute animals.
Sophie turned and looked, "Oh, you’re taking a photo?"
"Yes, I’m gathering evidence for Captain Zhao!"
