Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Lin Shi looked at Ye Cheng's slightly blushing face and followed her gaze.

Across the table, his subordinate had his face buried in his bowl, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, and his chopsticks were moving in a blur.

The way they were acting didn't look like they were eating a meal; it looked more like they were eating their last meal before they were executed.

No one paid any attention to Lin Shi and Ye Cheng.

The main point is that if I don't see it, it means nothing has happened.

Seeing this, Lin Shi didn't think much of it.

He assumed his subordinates were simply hungry and were frantically replenishing their energy.

As for Ye Cheng being a little shy... shy about what?

It's a happy occasion that the two are officially dating, and their subordinates are also family members, so there's no need to hide it.

Thinking of this, he reached under the table and tightly grasped Ye Cheng's small hand.

He cleared his throat, ready to formally announce their relationship.

"Clang!"

A loud bang jolted Lin Shi back to his lips.

The men seemed to have already eaten their fill, and didn't care that there were still two pieces of braised pork left on the plate.

He slammed the bowl down hard on the table, so hard that even the remaining grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl were sent flying into the air.

"Boss! I'm full!"

The subordinate jumped up and spoke rapidly.

The chair beneath him creaked as he moved.

The speed of their actions somewhat shocked Lin Shi.

Lin Shi nodded somewhat blankly, just about to say something to persuade him to stay.

All I saw was his subordinate quickly take a step back, bow, and say in a somewhat loud voice:

"It's time to leave work, I need to go home now."

"I really enjoyed the meal. My boss, Lin Shi, and my colleague, Ye Cheng, were both very kind to me."

"The three of us were eating seriously."

"The food was really delicious."

"Goodbye, boss!!!"

A barrage of words burst from his subordinate's mouth like a machine gun, without even a pause for breath.

Ye Cheng was also forced into a dazed state by his subordinate's sudden "madness".

After his subordinate finished speaking, it was as if he had completed some final task before his death.

The bent back didn't even straighten up again, but instead remained in a bowed position and made a smooth backward rotation.

He then quickly ran towards the door of the private room.

He didn't glance at Lin Shi and Ye Cheng at all throughout the entire process.

"No, sir, I have something to tell you..."

Seeing his subordinate's actions, Lin Shi quickly stood up.

He really wanted to show off to his subordinates:

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

The subordinate seemed to have anticipated Lin Shi's prediction, and his speed increased again, disappearing instantly from the doorway of the private room, slamming the door shut behind him.

That speed is so fast, even Usain Bolt would have to offer him a cigarette and ask for his advice.

"Bang!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a dull and loud thud came from the hallway outside the door.

It was as if some heavy object moving at high speed had been unable to brake in time and had affectionately embraced the wall.

"Is he... alright...?"

Hearing the loud noise, Ye Cheng's lips twitched, and she looked towards the door with some concern.

He scratched his head, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

"I hope... everything's alright..."

Lin Shi was also somewhat shocked by the talent his subordinates had displayed, completely unaware that they possessed such potential.

"How about we go out and take a look?"

Ye Cheng continued, saying that she had a feeling that the fall must have been quite severe.

"agree."

After Lin Shi finished speaking, he took Ye Cheng's hand and walked towards the door.

Push open the door.

The corridor was completely empty; not even a ghost could be seen.

The only difference was on the wall at the corner of the corridor.

There, a deep indentation shaped like a human face was clearly imprinted, and the outline of the facial features was even visible.

Lin Shi walked up quickly and gently stroked his "subordinate's" face.

The gritty sensation in his hand told him it was going to hurt a lot.

Ye Cheng followed her up, and looking at the marks on the wall, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

"Should we make a call and ask what's going on?"

"Need not."

Lin Shi shook his head and looked away:

"I know this guy. If something really happened, he would have told me. Since he ran away, it must be because..."

"Um... I don't know either, but it should be fine."

After Lin Shi finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Cheng's face.

Ye Cheng still looked worried.

Seeing this, Lin Shi put his arm around Ye Cheng's shoulder and led her towards the private room.

"It's really nothing. Don't let his simple-minded appearance fool you; he's incredibly capable. Besides, we've been through thick and thin together."

Ye Cheng was a little curious and turned to look at Lin Shi:

"A life-or-death commitment?"

"Yes, let's go back first, we haven't finished eating yet."

"Let's eat and chat, and I'll tell you about our glorious achievements back in the day."

"At that time, Shen Zhixiao had just taken power, and the company was in complete chaos."

As Lin Shi served food to Ye Cheng, he recalled:

"Her uncles and aunts always love to play tricks."

"Something happened in the middle; Shen Zhixiao was hospitalized, and that's when I met her..."

After Shen Zhixiao was discharged from the hospital, her first goal was to investigate the reason for his coma, and she also thoroughly investigated Lin Shi's background.

When he discovered that his secretary was the one who had caused the problem, he immediately fired all the traitors.

They also asked a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Shen to recruit a new batch of people.

The sources are varied, but the Shen family was definitely not involved.

My subordinates were the ones who applied for the bodyguard job around that time.

And the resume is extremely simple: "Retired veteran, skilled in combat and reconnaissance."

When Lin Shi first met him in person, his initial reaction wasn't that he was reliable, but rather that he suspected he might be some kind of anonymous "King of Soldiers," or perhaps some kind of organization called "Dragon King's Palace" overseas.

But when he saw the words "Subordinate" in the name section of the resume, he immediately gave up on the idea.

After all, no author would name their protagonist that.

"After all, you know I'm also afraid that if I bring in a main character, I'll end up being sacrificed as a sacrifice."

Ye Cheng couldn't help but chuckle:

"Yeah, I was really shocked at first too, it didn't feel like a real person's name."

Lin Shi laughed out loud.

He then took a sip of water, and his tone became somewhat serious:

"As for risking one's life..."

"It was when Shen Zhixiao was kidnapped."

"I used some... special methods to rush in and rescue Shen Zhixiao."

"Just when we thought we were safe, that desperate guy on the other side made a last-ditch effort and threw a homemade grenade at us."

"Actually, it wasn't dangerous for me, but that idiot under me rushed out from the side and, without thinking, threw himself on the grenade."

At this point, a flicker of emotion flashed in Lin Shi's eyes.

Ye Cheng also exclaimed "Wow!" in perfect unison, her eyes filled with admiration.

"And then what happened?"

"later?"

Lin Shi smiled, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth:

"In the end, he was lucky to survive."

"My adrenaline was pumping, so I grabbed him with one hand and kicked the grenade away with the other."

"He was also terrified at the time, and immediately hugged my leg, saying that he would definitely repay me in the future."

"But I just took it as a joke. I'm doing great now, why would I need him to repay me?"
