78: Chapter 78: Mockery and Ridicule!
Lin Wan opened her eyes, and was imdiately startled.
She was actually holding Wu Jie’s hand!
What was going on?
She had never been particularly fond of n; even if she felt relatively safe around Wu Jie, it wouldn’t go this far…
It was too bizarre!
What was happening?
Lin Wan released her grip like lightning, allowing Wu Jie to quickly step back.
“I…
what happened to ?”
Lin Wan was a little overwheld by shyness, her face instantly flushing crimson, imnsely embarrassed.
Wu Jie laughed and said, “It’s nothing, you were just having a nightmare.
I had just finished removing the needles when you suddenly grabbed my hand and asked not to leave!”
Lin Wan crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking sowhat awkward.
She indeed had been dreaming.
The acupuncture was so comfortable that she gradually fell into dreamland.
In the dream, she t a beloved partner; the two were inseparable, very sweet together.
But she just couldn’t see what he looked like, and she vaguely rembered feeling heartbroken and agitated when they parted.
So…
Damn it!
How could I have grabbed him?
This was really embarrassing!
Lin Wan’s gaze flitted away, too shy to et Wu Jie’s eyes.
Wu Jie packed up the silver needles and the disinfectant alcohol, kindly reminding, “Don’t touch cold water or drink cold beverages tonight, get so early sleep, good night!”
As he finished speaking, Wu Jie was ready to leave.
“Thank you, Wu Jie.
When I’m free soday, I’ll treat you to a big al!”
Lin Wan forced a smile and said.
Wu Jie smiled faintly, pulled the door closed, and left.
Phew!
Lin Wan exhaled deeply, feeling almost out of breath.
Pulling the covers over her face, she was consud by embarrassed mortification!
Too horrifying!
She had actually…
actually grabbed a man’s hand!
“Damn Fang Qingya, it’s all your fault!
If it weren’t for the dysnorrhea you caused to suffer, I…
I wouldn’t have needed Wu Jie’s help with acupuncture, and none of this embarrassnt would have happened!”
After cursing, Lin Wan picked up her phone and deleted everything related to Fang Qingya—the photos, phone numbers, friends…
Then she transferred money to Wu Jie, returning the excess five hundred thousand.
Wu Jie got back to his room, just finished tidying up, when he received a text ssage.
He wrote a receipt, then sent it to Lin Wan.
The next day.
Wu Jie rushed off early in the morning to change shifts and patrol, and after nine o’clock, he went to the monitoring center to rest.
No sooner had he sat down than the phone on the desk rang.
“Hello, have Wu Jie co to the Special Security Unit’s training field!”
A rugged voice ca through the phone, bearing an irrefutable command.
“That’s !”
“Then get over here quickly!”
The phone abruptly hung up.
“What’s going on?”
After a quick handover, Wu Jie imdiately headed out.
The Special Security Unit was a highly special departnt of the corporation’s security division, dedicated to handling ergency incidents.
It was like having a group of warriors at hand—wherever there was danger in branch offices or project departnts, that’s where they were sent.
Particularly for projects that the corporation undertook in Africa, the presence of the Special Security Unit was a necessity.
Because of the heavy responsibilities and high risk, the compensations for the Special Security Unit were naturally much higher than those for regular security guards.
At this mont.
A group of agents dressed in black shirts, all strong and formidable, were sitting cross-legged, attending a lecture and studying.
The speaker was none other than Zhao Dong, the manager of the security departnt.
“In dostic projects, our main threats are two types: thieves and corporate spies.
To deal with these two types of people, we use non-lethal weapons, like tear gas, batons, and shields.
We need to control them quickly and hand them over to law enforcent!”
“In overseas projects, especially in regions with unstable situations, we have to guard against material theft by thieves as well as the threat of local ard forces, such as violent threats, robberies, and kidnappings.
In these cases, we need to make reasonable use of weapons!”
“The West African communication base that the group is going to implent soon is quite tricky, with a safety assessnt of C-level.
So in this situation, we absolutely cannot take it lightly.
The agents assigned there must be highly vigilant to ensure the smooth completion of the project!”
…
Zhao Dong talked on and on, only gesturing for Wu Jie to co over after a long ti.
A pair of sharp and piercing eyes landed on him, and Wu Jie suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Mr.
Tang called last night and said that you were assigned to patrol and guard the headquarters building.
It’s really a waste of your talents!”
“He also said that with your skills, you could at least be a special agent.
Well then, according to our special service section’s rules, pick anyone you like from these brothers!”
“As long as you can beat him, you’ll be in the special service section!”
Saying this, Zhao Dong pointed to the crowd of more than twenty people.
“Pick anyone!”
As the boss of the special service section, Zhao ng was extrely burly.
After sizing up Wu Jie with squinted eyes, he stood up, turned to his many brothers, and said with a smile:
“Brothers, Jie is President Tang’s favorite, so whoever gets picked, go easy on him for , don’t hurt him!”
While it seed like a friendly reminder, it sounded like there was more to it, didn’t it?
There you go, many people laughed out loud.
“Don’t worry, boss, I’m very gentle!”
“Bullying a security brother?
That’s not my style!”
“We’re all from the sa departnt, of course, I’ll be gentle!”
“Oh my!
It’s just a friendly sparring, we stop at the touch, right!”
“Hey, young man!
Pick !
I’m the worst in the special service section, fragile and easy to push over!”
…
The heckling began.
Amidst various jokes and laughter, the look in many people’s eyes changed.
Contempt, arrogance, indifference, mockery…
They weren’t senior executives of the company.
Of course, they didn’t know that Tang Xiao and Wu Jie’s relationship had suddenly progressed to discussing marriage.
If they had known that Wu Jie was Tang Xiao’s fiancé, Zhao Dong certainly wouldn’t have made such arrangents, and the others would not have jeered so coldly and heatedly.
Of course…
none of that mattered!
What was jeering?
What Wu Jie desired was envy, jealousy, and hatred.
So…
“, a special agent?
Tsk tsk, my future father-in-law really thinks highly of !”
Wu Jie shook his head and grimaced, pretending to be scared.
But his facial expressions and gestures weren’t the point—the point was…
future father-in-law??
Zhao Dong’s lips twitched, and he asked in astonishnt:
“Are you crazy?
Who’s your future father-in-law?
My daughter is still in elentary school!
You…
wait a minute!
Did you say your future father-in-law is Mr.
Tang?”
Wu Jie nodded with a smile: “Yeah!
Tang Xiao and I decided to get married yesterday, so naturally, Chairman Tang Long is going to be my father-in-law!”
Pfft!
Not just Zhao Dong, many people burst into laughter.
“Hey, holy crap!
What kind of daydream are you having so early in the morning?”
“It’s over, it’s over, even before the fight, he’s already brain-damaged!”
“You’re blowing it big there!
Aren’t you afraid that your bragging will blow your head off?”
“President Tang is your wife?
Mr.
Tang is your father-in-law?
Look at how grand you are; why don’t you just take to the skies?”
“Scared of getting hit and just want to give up?
Do you have to make up such a shaless lie?”
…
After the group had laughed and mocked enough, Wu Jie finally shook his head and chuckled:
“If you don’t believe , why don’t you call President Tang?
Why bother yamring about it here!”
“Also, beating one person to beco a special agent, is that right?
So, who’s the best fighter here?
Co out and let’s have a practice round!”
Wu Jie scanned them with a cold eye, his smile full of amusent.
The crowd, which had been noisy just monts before, suddenly fell deathly silent…
