Urban Ace Bodyguard

Lin Hai left with Ruoshuang.

Dong Jiuxiang and Young Master Ling looked at each other in bewilderment.

That guy, who they originally looked down upon, seemed to have been too lazy to give them a proper glance from beginning to end.

There was no arguing, no fighting; even after Zhang Yang arrived, he didn't take the chance to strike at them, yet for some reason, this feeling was even more unbearable than being beaten up.

It felt even worse to be ignored than to be despised.

"What exactly is the identity of that man?" Dong Jiuxiang was still astonished and muttered to Young Master Ling.

"I don't know, but to be treated like that by Young Master Zhang, he must be someone even more formidable than the seven of us playboys."

"Such a person... must be a super influential young master from Yanjing."

Young Master Ling shook his head, also looking stunned. Now that he thought about it, daring to look down upon a Yanjing tycoon—if they had encountered someone with an even worse temper, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

Dong Jiuxiang, however, was thinking about how to take the chance to latch onto this mysterious "super influential young master." As long as they accepted her, she'd be willing to do anything.

...

Elsewhere, at the entrance of the Huadu Military District compound.

On the way here, Lin Hai had successfully implanted the Gang Qi seeds into two Star Moon Bodhi bracelets.

He also stopped by the supermarket to buy two big cakes.

Both President Ouyang and Chuqing's birthdays happened to fall on the exact same day and year, an incredibly rare coincidence.

Since Chuqing had just arrived in Huadu not long ago, CEO Ouyang decided to have the birthday celebration here, partly to accommodate Chuqing.

The military is a place of strict discipline, though some high-profile individuals can ignore most of the rules and play their privileges.

But Chuqing, who grew up in the compound of the Military District, understood one thing very clearly: the military respects the strong.

Even if you have great connections, if you lack strength and don't follow the rules when you first arrive, you will inevitably be shunned by others.

Hence, even though she could have celebrated at a hotel, she still chose to do it within the Military District.

In the Huadu Military District compound, there is also a stationed special forces unit.

Almost every "Erna International Reconnaissance Soldier Competition," Huaxia picks some participants from this special forces unit in Huadu Military District.

Moreover, this special forces unit never disappoints, always winning multiple first places and bringing glory to the nation.

As soon as Lin Hai got out of the car, he sees Xia Chuqing and Tao Shuishui, who had already been waiting at the gate for some time.

"Brother Lin, Ruoshuang, over here," Tao Shuishui waved her hands.

Following closely behind Lin Hai was Zhang Yang, curious and excited; he had long wanted to join the army, but his old man at home absolutely refused to let him choose the military path.

"Guard brother, these friends of mine have already gotten permission from the Chief, and here are their passes," Xia Chuqing explained to the sentry.

The sentry was a bit flustered; the lady in front of him was of the Military District's young mistress level, while he was just a soldier from some rural area, the difference in status was too vast.

After Lin Hai and his friends were let in smoothly, Xia Chuqing did not forget to give the sentry a gentle smile and thanked him, "Thank you, guard brother. It's hot weather, try not to overexert yourself."

A warm feeling suddenly rose in the sentry's heart.

He even held some inexplicable fondness for Chuqing.

Although he knew that for the rest of his life he could only fantasize about it in his dreams and nothing real could happen.

But this warm feeling still suddenly made him feel an urge to strive and work harder.

Actually, people always talk about positive energy, warmth, and friendliness being a part of it, and the role they play in special circumstances can dispel the inner gloom and accumulated negative emotions.

"Damn, this is the Military District compound?"

Rows of elite soldiers are still training ferociously under the scorching sun, their entire bodies drenched in sweat, as intense as ever, without a hint of slackness.

"Sh*t, before when I saw all the negative stuff online, they kept saying the army has gone soft, gone weak."

"Now that I've experienced it firsthand, it turns out all those so-called public intellectuals, law cynics, and rumor-mongers are just blowing hot air. These soldiers train so hard, how could they not be up to par?"

Zhang Yang was excited, rubbing his hands together, wishing he could join them.

Lin Hai's eyes also flickered with warmth.

Watching the frenzied training of the soldiers, his thoughts wandered, and he reminisced about his younger self.

That kind of passion can truly inspire people to strive forward, as if fearing no difficulty in the world.

Thinking about it now, a soldier must infuse Military Spirit into their blood and etch a firm belief into their bones.

The strength of belief is one of the most powerful forces in this world.

Soon after, they arrived at Chuqing's female soldiers' dormitory.

There were a total of four bunk beds, it seems Chuqing was indeed here for training and not playing any special privileges.

Upon entering the dormitory, Lin Hai paused for a moment.

Zhang Yang nearly popped his eyes out in excitement.

Seven female soldiers in summer physical training uniforms exuded an alternative sense of feminine beauty.

Moreover, these girls' reserved smiles carried a hint of boldness, and their shyness was mixed with a sense of inner strength. They weren't intimidated by Zhang Yang's fiery gaze; instead, they became even more charming.

"Haha, CEO, happy birthday," Lin Hai said with a smile, carrying a cake as he walked in.

Ouyang Xiaoya glanced at the cake in his hand and smiled, "This is the first time a man has bought me a cake for my birthday."

"Haha, CEO, in the future, your various 'first times' will all be taken by... well, you know," Lin Hai winked.

Ouyang Xiaoya felt a surge of frustration; a perfectly good mood spoiled as soon as he opened his mouth.

The other female soldiers covered their mouths and giggled.

Lin Hai awkwardly scratched the back of his head, put down the cake, and chuckled, "CEO, just a little birthday joke. I've prepared gifts for you and Chuqing."

"Gift?" Chuqing and Ouyang Xiaoya immediately became curious.

After all, women are allured by the temptation of gifts.

Lin Hai revealed a pair of exquisitely crafted Star Moon Bodhi beads in his hands, which, especially after being infused with Gang Qi seeds, had a bright and lustrous color, obviously top-grade.

Both women instantly showed that they liked the gifts.

Seeing their reactions, Lin Hai nodded slightly, satisfied.

"CEO, these two items have extraordinary origins. Wearing them is beneficial for your skin and overall wellness," Lin Hai boasted about the effects of the Star Moon Bodhi.

Ruoshuang rolled her eyes in the background, contemptuously looking at her brother-in-law, "They were just bought, what extraordinary origins? Although, they did indeed cost a pretty penny."

"You beast, uh, Lin Hai, you are thoughtful. Thank you."

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

After Chuqing and Ouyang Xiaoya put them on, their whole demeanor underwent a transformation.

In the room, everyone was dazzled.

At the same time, a rough and excited voice echoed, "Haha, Chuqing, I know today is your birthday, look what I brought you, a big gold necklace."

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Hai was startled for a moment, and then the content of the other party's words almost made him burst into laughter.

"Sh*t, what era is it, still a gold necklace? Could it be any more tacky?"
