?21: Chapter 21: Encounter on the Stairs 21: Chapter 21: Encounter on the Stairs “What?”

    Lin Shanshan’s face was full of surprise, and she was completely dumbfounded.

    She then asked in disbelief, “Is he really the legendary King Cheetah of the battlefield, the one who terrifies the enemy?”

    “Yes!” Zhao Dabing nodded in response.

    “Then why has he fallen into such a state?” Lin Shanshan asked, puzzled.

    “Military orders are like mountains, he committed an unforgivable military order, and was dismissed.” Zhao Dabing answered.

    “What unforgivable military order did he commit that made the military heartlessly dismiss him?” Lin Shanshan pressed on.

    “That, I cannot reveal.

    In any case, his skills might now be wasted in these ordinary years.”

    “Ah, is it that heaven envies the talented?”

    Lin Shanshan couldn’t help but sigh, feeling pity for Lin Yifan’s plight.

    Although Lin Yifan was her idol in the past, she still cared a lot about that “intense collision” with Lin Yifan at the corner.

    “If the idol I always admired turned out to be a pervert, then I really was blind before.”

    On the other hand, after leaving the police station, An Qi curiously asked, “Were you and Officer Zhao very close before?”

    “He is one of those life-or-death, iron buddies.” Lin Yifan answered honestly.

    Some relationships are indelible, just like his close bond with Zhao Dabing from their troubled times.

    Even after so many years, it’s still the same.

    “Oh!” An Qi suddenly realized.

    At the stairway in front of the police station, she was about to bid farewell to Lin Yifan, “Sir, thanks again for coming to my rescue.”

    “Don’t mention it, it was just a small effort.”

    “Come to the company tomorrow to report for work.

    I will notify the HR department in advance.”

    “What’s the address of the company?” Lin Yifan asked.

    “It’s 28 Jincan Road, Antian Group Building, in the main city district,” An Qi answered.

    “What are the work hours, and, is food and accommodation included?” Lin Yifan continued to inquire.

    “Since you’re my personal bodyguard, there is no fixed working time.

    When I go out, you go to work; when I return home, you finish work.

    As for food and accommodation, you need to arrange that yourself.

    I believe these 300,000 yuan will be enough for you to live and eat well,” An Qi answered.

    “If I have to go to work when you go out, doesn’t that mean I should live near your home?

    Are there houses for rent near your home?” Lin Yifan curiously inquired.

    “There should be nothing within a few kilometers,” An Qi responded.

    Her house was located in a villa area, and the surrounding area generally did not have apartment buildings, so there likely weren’t any houses for rent.

    “Uh...

    okay!” Lin Yifan, lost for words, then asked another question, “What’s your home address, and what time do you usually leave your house?”

    “The address is Villa No.

    8, Golden Sand Bay Sunshine Community, South City District; as for when I leave, it’s usually around eight o’clock,” An Qi answered.

    “Alright, I will take a taxi to your place in advance to protect you, ensuring I won’t be late,” Lin Yifan solemnly responded.

    Since she valued him so much, if he didn’t perform well, he wouldn’t deserve that 50,000 yuan a month.

    Hearing how pitiable Lin Yifan’s story was, An Qi felt a bit sympathetic and then asked, “Can you drive?”

    If Lin Yifan could drive, then she wouldn’t need to bother Uncle Fu to drive her every day.

    “Can I?

    Of course, I can!” Lin Yifan answered excitedly, feeling like she was about to give him a car orsomething, so how could he hesitate?

    “Then, from now on, you’ll be both my personal driver and my personal bodyguard.”

    As expected, this was big good news.

    He couldn’t help but ask, “If I do two jobs, will my salary increase?”

    It wasn’t that he was greedy, but he really needed the money.

    An Qi thought for a moment, feeling that it would be tough for Lin Yifan to work two jobs, so she answered, “Let’s add another 5,000!”

    “President An, thank you so much!

    Don’t worry, I will definitely fulfill my duty diligently, both as a driver and in ensuring your personal safety,” Lin Yifan said, tears brimming in his eyes.

    He was extremely moved.

    It was like An Qi was providing timely help.

    Nothing could be more touching than this.

    “Well then, I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

    After saying this, An Qi walked down the stairs and said goodbye to Lin Yifan.

    Her assistant had already brought the car to the front of the police station.

    As soon as she descended these stairs, she could get in the car.

    However, just as she stepped down the first staircase, she encountered danger.

    She was wearing high heels, and while she was busy bidding farewell to Lin Yifan, her foot missed a step, causing her to lose her balance and start to fall.

    Seeing this, Lin Yifan instinctively reacted, rushed forward in a sprint, and caught the falling An Qi mid-air.

    This action was just like the final pose in a cha-cha dance, where the female dancer falls into the male dancer’s arms.

    At this moment, the two looked into each other’s eyes with deep emotion, each with their own thoughts.

    An Qi felt that at this moment, Lin Yifan looked extremely handsome, just like the Prince Charming in her heart.

    Meanwhile, Lin Yifan thought that An Qi was incredibly beautiful at this moment, so delicately made that he had never seen such a beautiful girl before.

    “Beep beep!”

    The female assistant honked the horn a few times, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

    President An was like a phoenix perched on a branch, and she probably didn’t want to stay in the arms of a man dressed simply with messy hair for too long; thus, the assistant took the initiative to honk the horn.

    Hearing the horn, An Qi and Lin Yifan snapped out of their daydreams.

    Seeing their posture, they felt it was extremely inappropriate, so they quickly reverted to their former selves.

    An Qi, her face blushing shyly, looked down, not daring to look at Lin Yifan.

    She stammered, “Um...

    this...

    remember to report to the company on time tomorrow.”

    After saying this, she hurriedly walked down the stairs and left in the car.

    Her heart was pounding nonstop, not understanding why she felt this fluttering sensation; Lin Yifan was not handsome, and his family situation was not good, she didn’t know why she felt this way.

    On the other side, Lin Yifan also experienced a moment of heart-flutter.

    However, he slapped himself and scolded himself, “Stop dreaming, she is a rich girl, and you are just a worker dependent on her.”

    After getting in the car, the female assistant drove away.

    Watching the car disappear into the distance, Lin Yifan was lost in thought.

    Meanwhile, An Qi also looked through the car’s rearview mirror at Lin Yifan behind her, her emotions taking a long time to calm down.
