After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

In the living room, the food was already on the table.

The four sat around a small table, the atmosphere both warm and somewhat somber.

Lin Li noticed that Su Qian was distracted and only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks, and her face looked very unpleasant.

"What's wrong?"

He asked casually, "Did something happen to the company?"

Su Qian hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "It's not the company, it's my dad."

"Um?"

Lin Li was taken aback. "What happened to your dad?"

"..."

Su Qian didn't speak for a while, then said wearily, "His condition suddenly worsened. The doctor said it's late-stage stomach cancer, and he might... not have much longer to live."

"What?!"

Lin Yuehua was startled and quickly said, "How could this be? He was perfectly fine when I saw him last time!"

"The illness came on too quickly and too suddenly."

Su Qian tugged at the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh but unable to: "Besides... the company is in complete chaos right now."

"Several vice presidents and shareholders knew that my father was seriously ill and were all eager to seize control of the company."

At this point, her voice suddenly choked up: "These past few days I've been busy dealing with company matters and taking care of my dad, and I'm really... feeling overwhelmed."

She was, after all, just a girl in her early twenties. The pressure she faced when suddenly confronted with a double blow to her family and career was unimaginable.

Lin Yuehua frowned. She knew that Su Qian's father's health had been poor for the past two years, but she didn't expect it to suddenly become so serious.

Seeing that Su Qian's eyes were a little red, she felt very sad.

If Su Qian had been able to stop Yue Tao from going abroad, she would at least have someone to rely on now.

"and……"

Su Qian paused, her eyes darting around, and hesitated before saying, "Lately, I've had this feeling that someone is following me."

"Tracking?"

Lin Li's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Do you know who they are?"

"have no idea."

Su Qian shook her head, feeling very tired, and whispered, "They were probably sent by my competitors to find something on me, or... to create some kind of accident."

"That's too much!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wanqing slammed her hand on the table in anger. "They're taking advantage of our misfortune! Qianqian, did you call the police?"

"It's useless. Without substantial evidence, the police can't do anything about it."

Su Qian smiled casually, "It's okay, I can handle it myself. I can just hire a few more bodyguards."

She didn't want to bring these negative emotions to Lin Yuehua and Fang Wanqing, and she didn't want to implicate Lin Li, who had just been released from prison.

"Where's the inspector?"

Lin Yuehua grabbed Su Qian's hand. "Is there nothing he can do?"

"My brother has been transferred and may not be back for a while."

Su Jian looked very upset when he left. Su Qian wouldn't cause him any more trouble at a time like this.

"I'll help you."

Lin Li suddenly spoke.

"What?"

Su Qian was taken aback.

I said, "I'll help you."

Lin Li looked into Su Qian's eyes and explained, "Help me with my onboarding tomorrow. I'll be working at Chujian Culture."

"Are you going to work?"

Su Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "What can you do? Can you read reports? Can you make plans? Or are you good at negotiating business?"

She wasn't saying this to mock Lin Li, but rather because Lin Li had never worked for the Lin family's company before going to prison, nor had he learned how to do business; he had always been a rich second-generation who traveled around.

"I'll be your assistant."

Lin Li knew, of course, that he didn't understand business matters, so he wasn't angry: "Personal assistant."

"I don't need it!"

Su Qian refused without even thinking, "I have my own assistant, and what kind of man are you, following me around all day?"

"you need to."

Lin Li pointed out the window and reminded him, "If those people really want to harm you, the ordinary bodyguards you hired are useless. You're only safe when I'm by your side."

"Besides, I might be able to help with your father's illness."

"you?"

Su Qian scoffed, not believing Lin Li's words at all: "You can cure diseases? Don't be ridiculous."

"Qianqian, just let Xiaoli go."

Lin Yuehua advised from the side, "If you hire bodyguards from outside, they might be bribed, and we don't trust them."

"Yes, Qianqian."

Fang Wanqing glanced at Lin Li, and remembering what happened during the day, chimed in, "Lin Li is really amazing! Look, he didn't even survive a car accident today. With him protecting you, you'll definitely be fine!"

That sounds a bit too much, doesn't it?

Lin Li raised an eyebrow at Fang Wanqing. Was there any necessary connection between whether he was hit by a car and whether he could protect Su Qian?

Looking at Lin Yuehua and Fang Wanqing, and recalling the sense of crisis she had felt recently, Su Qian finally gave in.

"Alright."

She sighed helplessly, "But let's make this clear first: once you're at the company, you'll do exactly what I say. No causing trouble, and no hitting anyone!"

Lin Li casually replied, "We'll see."

……

The next morning, Su Qian's black Audi A6 was parked downstairs.

Lin Li was wearing a suit, which, although not a big brand, made him look energetic.

"Get in the car."

Su Qian sat in the passenger seat and tossed the car keys to Lin Li, saying, "Since you're my assistant, driving is your job."

Lin Li took the keys, got into the driver's seat, and looked around.

Watching his movements, Su Qian couldn't help but ask, "You've been operating a sewing machine in there for three years, do you even remember how to drive? Can you tell the difference between the accelerator and the brake?"

"If you can't do it, get out of the way. I'm in a hurry to get to the hospital and I don't have time to practice with you."

Sitting in the back, Lin Yuehua was also a little worried: "Xiao Li, why don't we let Qianqian drive? You just came out..."

"fine."

Lin Li glanced at Su Qian, offered no explanation, and pressed the start button directly.

boom!

The engine let out a deep roar.

Before the three could react, the black Audi had already sped off.

"what!"

The strong push against her back made Su Qian instinctively yell, "Slow down! This is the city!"

She turned pale with fright and quickly grabbed the handrail on the roof of the car.

Lin Li smiled, showing no intention of slowing down.

The city is very congested during the morning rush hour, and there is simply no room to increase the speed of vehicles.

But in Lin Li's hands, the Audi suddenly became very agile.

Changing lanes, overtaking, blocking...

Every movement was precise, each time narrowly avoiding a collision at the last second, thrilling yet steady.

The scenery outside the window had turned into blurry afterimages.

Sitting in the back, Lin Yuehua was so frightened that she closed her eyes and didn't dare to speak or disturb Lin Li, for fear that the car would crash and she would die.

Wow! That's so cool!

Fang Wanqing, however, was extremely excited, pressing her face against the car window and shouting, "Lin Li, you're amazing! You overtook that one! You overtook that Mercedes!"

Su Qian watched the speedometer on the dashboard climb rapidly, her heart pounding in her chest.

She turned her head to look at Lin Li, and saw him holding the steering wheel with a focused expression. Suddenly, she felt that this man was somewhat unfamiliar, and also somewhat...charming.
