C10 Showing Off!

Upon arriving at the company, Ann Lan briefly instructed Wang Sheng before leaving Lin Chen in his care.

"Lin, I never pegged you for a security guard at our company. It's quite the surprise," Wang Sheng remarked, astonished.

Just yesterday, he had seen Sun Hao get a thrashing in Ann Lan's office, to the point where even his mother wouldn't recognize him.

To think someone with such formidable abilities was working as a mere security guard seemed like a waste of talent.

But since Director Ann hadn't commented, Wang Sheng kept his questions to himself.

"Lin, after you helped Director Ann take down Sun Hao yesterday, I half-expected you to be her boyfriend," a young man in a security uniform said to Lin Chen, his curiosity piqued.

At these words, Wang Sheng felt a jolt of anxiety and cautiously scanned their surroundings.

Once he was sure they were unobserved, he shot the young man a stern look.

In a hushed tone, he warned, "Lin, if you were Director Ann's boyfriend, would you be working in our security department? Watch what you say. Director Ann has been good to us; we can't tarnish her reputation behind her back!"

Turning back to Lin Chen, Wang Sheng apologized, "Lin, this is Doggy Lee. He's from my village and hasn't had much schooling, so please overlook his comments."

Lin Chen's gaze held a touch of sorrow. He wasn't Ann Lan's boyfriend; he was her husband!

He hadn't considered this before, but Wang Sheng and Doggy Lee's words had struck a nerve. Was his wife, Ann Lan, really making him work as a lowly security guard? Was she underestimating him?

"Anyway, Lin, let me give you a rundown of our security department," Wang Sheng continued.

"Should you run into Qian Duoduo and his cronies, steer clear of them. He's the grandson of one of the company's directors, and crossing him could make your life here difficult."

As they walked toward the security department, Wang Sheng shared his advice.

Words may be spoken without intent, but they can resonate with the listener.

Lin Chen's eyes flickered with curiosity as he asked, "Brother Wang, from what you're saying, does Qian Duoduo call the shots in the security department?"

"So you think if you handle him, you'll have free rein in the security department from now on?"

Pfft!

Wang Sheng nearly choked on his own spit when he heard that. After all his warnings to be wary of Qian Duoduo, this guy actually wants to take him on?

"Yeah, Lin, if you can somehow manage to handle Qian Duoduo..."

"It won't just be you; we'll all have it easy from here on out!"

Doggy Lee wasn't concerned with the details. To him, Lin Chen's fighting prowess meant he could surely take down Qian Duoduo.

Seeing the look on Lin Chen and Doggy Lee's faces gave Wang Sheng a toothache.

One had the nerve to suggest it, the other the audacity to consider it... and perhaps even the gall to attempt it!

The thought of having to clean up their messes in the future gave Wang Sheng more than just a toothache; it was a headache right in the groin.

"Doggy Lee, shut your trap!"

"Lin Chen, don't get any wild ideas about Qian Duoduo."

"Somebody crossed him once and ended up with both legs broken..."

Wang Sheng's warning was cut short as they reached the security department.

He clammed up quickly, not wanting Qian Duoduo's cronies to overhear.

But as they entered the room, they saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes lounging in an armchair.

Two security guards were dutifully feeding him fruit and snacks, while the rest stood at attention on either side.

"Manager Wang, is this the guy who got into our security department through Director Ann's back door?"

The young man, Qian Duoduo, eyed Lin Chen and asked Wang Sheng without a trace of emotion.

"Mr. Qian, Director Ann has instructed me to look after Lin Chen."

Wang Sheng's face fell as he sensed Qian Duoduo's intent to single out Lin Chen.

"Look after him?"

Qian Duoduo rose from the armchair, eyes narrowed, fixing Lin Chen with a piercing gaze.

"Kid, you've got two options."

"First, kneel and bark like a dog, then scram from Ann's Group and steer clear of Lanlan."

"Secondly, I'll break both of your legs and force you out of Ann's Group!"

Qian Duoduo had his sights set on Ann Lan as his future bride.

But now, Lin Chen, this pretty boy, had not only cozied up to his intended, but also had Wang Sheng looking out for him.

How could he stand for that?

"Stay away from that madwoman?"

Qian Duoduo's arrogance caught Lin Chen off guard.

It didn't take long for him to put two and two together. This guy had a thing for Ann Lan?

"Madwoman? Insulting my Lanlan like that? You're asking for trouble!"

"Give this fool a beating he won't forget!"

Rage flared across Qian Duoduo's face as he gestured to the nearby security guards.

"Young Master Qian, this is all a big misunderstanding!"

"Lin Chen is new here and doesn't quite know the ropes yet. Please, let's not make a big deal out of this."

Wang Sheng noticed Qian Duoduo's henchmen ready to strike Lin Chen with electric batons.

His expression shifted as he quickly stepped in, attempting to defuse the situation with Qian Duoduo.

Director Ann had just entrusted him with Lin Chen's well-being. If Lin Chen got hurt by Qian Duoduo, how would he ever explain it to the Director?

"Wang Sheng, you think you can tell me what to do?"

"Had you not been in Lanlan's corner so many times, I'd have snapped your legs already!"

"Don't push your luck!"

Qian Duoduo lashed out at Wang Sheng in annoyance.

"I..."

Wang Sheng's mouth opened, a trace of bitterness in his eyes.

Indeed, if not for his repeated defense of Director Ann at the company, Qian Duoduo probably wouldn't give him the time of day.

Now, with Qian Duoduo hell-bent on dealing with Lin Chen, he, just a lowly manager, was powerless.

Watching Wang Sheng get pushed around by Qian Duoduo on his account made Lin Chen's brow furrow, a chill flashing in his eyes.

"Wang, would you mind closing the door for me?"

"Now, I'm going to show you all a little something for free—what 'shutting the door to beat the dog' really means."

Lin Chen stepped forward, his tone cool and detached.

"Count me in, Lin brothers!"

"Damn, I've had it with this punk for a long time."

"If I don't take him down today, then I, Doggy Lee, might as well have been his nanny!"

Doggy Lee thumped his chest, glaring at Qian Duoduo with clear dissatisfaction.

Qian Duoduo clicked his tongue and, with a laugh tinged with rage, said, "Fine, fine, fine."

"Doggy Lee, Lin Chen, you two are actually starting to impress me!"

"But if you're so set on digging your own graves, I'm happy to oblige!"

At Qian Duoduo's command, a dozen men in security uniforms charged at Lin Chen and Doggy Lee, wielding electric batons.

"What a bunch of losers, biting off more than they can chew!"

Lin Chen sneered with contempt as he eyed the feeble security guards.

Without missing a beat, he lunged forward like a tiger, reaching for the electric batons.

"Lin Chen, watch out, those are electric batons!"

Doggy Lee and Wang Sheng, watching from behind, were horrified to see Lin Chen grabbing for the electric batons with his bare hands. Their faces paled.

If Lin Chen were to be hit, no matter how skilled he was, he'd end up at Qian Duoduo's mercy.

"Electric batons?"

"They're batons that shock you?"

Lin Chen eyed the electric batons in the guards' hands with a hint of curiosity.

But even as he spoke, his hands had already seized two of the batons.

"Zap! Zap! Zap!"

As the electric current surged through him, Lin Chen's body shook.

Qian Duoduo, lounging in his armchair, burst into laughter at the sight.

"Oh my, this is too good!"

"Where did this bumpkin come from, not even knowing what an electric baton is?"

But Lin Chen was unfazed by Qian Duoduo's taunts.

As the current flowed into him, he could feel the Dragon Roar Spell within him spontaneously activating.

Realizing this, his eyes gleamed with wild joy.

"Of course, how could I forget?"

"Back in Kunlun Village, I could use electricity for cultivation. But that stingy old man complained about the electric bills being too high and wouldn't let me use it much!"

"Now that I'm in the big city, I can use these freely, right?"

Lin Chen mumbled to himself, then cast aside any further hesitation.

He snatched two electric batons and hurled them at the other security guards.

The unexpected reversal wiped the smile right off Qian Duoduo's face.

"Idiots, did you forget to turn on the electric batons?"

"Move it! Take this jerk down!"

Qian Duoduo rose from his armchair, furiously barking orders at the security guards.

"Young Master Qian, we did turn on the batons."

"I just don't know why, but they seem to have no effect on him—Bang!"

A security guard was cut off mid-sentence as Lin Chen kicked him into the air.

Within two minutes, every single guard was sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

Witnessing the spectacle, Wang Sheng's eyes sparked with hope, and Doggy Lee was visibly thrilled.

Good heavens, Lin Chen is unstoppable!

How did he single-handedly take down a whole squad of security guards armed with electric batons?
