School Beauty's Personal Martial Expert-Chapter 623: There’s a brown-noser 2.

"No," Uncle Liu denied, "His name is Lin Muran, and he’s another security guard arranged by Elder Dragon to come here. Don’t let his young age fool you; of the ten people, he has the best skills, so he’s also the temporary team leader. After you return, they will be handed over to you to take charge."

Upon hearing this, Leng Xuan slightly frowned. From his first impression just now, this young man named Lin Muran didn’t give him a good vibe—too sharp-edged, and he seemed like an arrogant type, probably not easy to control. He was a bit puzzled as to why Dragon Head would arrange for such a person to come over. He sighed inwardly and then asked, "Since he’s responsible for the perimeter security, why is he following Miss Ling so closely?"

Uncle Liu, seemingly afraid of being overheard, spoke softly, "When he came, he mentioned that Miss Ling had no one to protect her up close, and in case of an emergency, it wouldn’t be easy to rescue her promptly. So, he requested to enter the villa to personally ensure her safety. Moreover, when these people arrived, Mr. Ling and his wife had personally met with them. As far as I know, this Lin Muran seems to have an extraordinary background; it appears he also comes from a prominent family. He had a pleasant conversation with the lady, and she took quite a liking to him. That’s why they agreed to his request." After finishing, he added, "In my opinion, his protection is merely a pretext; pursuing Miss Ling is his real motive. Mr. Leng, you must not let him succeed."

Leng Xuan was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Uncle Liu chuckled and continued, "I’m on your side, and the Old Master also hopes that you and Miss Ling could become a couple. So, you must strive hard. I and the Old Master will support you in spirit."

Leng Xuan couldn’t help but let out a wry smile, not expecting Uncle Liu to have such a humorous side. Nevertheless, Uncle Liu’s words also left him somewhat troubled. It wasn’t right for him to interfere with others pursuing Miss Ling. Besides, Miss Ling was not his possession; what right did he have to stop them? He shook his head; as long as this matter didn’t affect his work, he would just let them be. Who Miss Ling liked was her freedom, and after all, it had nothing to do with him, right?

At that moment, Uncle Liu began introductions, "Young Master Lin, this is Mr. Leng Xuan. Please get acquainted with each other. From now on, Miss Ling’s safety will be in your hands. I hope you can work together."

Although he didn’t have much liking for Lin Muran, Leng Xuan didn’t show it. He walked up with a smile, extended his hand and shook Lin Muran’s, saying, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. Thankfully, with all of you here, Miss Ling’s safety has been secured."

Lin Muran’s smile was warm as he said, "For Miss Ling, no hardship is worth mentioning. As long as she is safe, no matter how hard it is, we will have no complaints."

Upon hearing this, Li Mengjie cringed and leaned closer to Ling Xuejiu, whispering into her ear, "So cheesy, I’m getting goosebumps. Xue Jiu, do you think they will end up fighting? If they really come to blows, which side would you take?"

Ling Xuejiu blinked in confusion and countered, "Why would they fight if they are on good terms?"

"Of course, it’s over competing for you," Li Mengjie replied with narrowed eyes and a smile, "Haven’t you noticed that Lin Muran is quite interested in you? Every day, he follows you around like a puppy, being both bodyguard and babysitter. To be honest, haven’t you taken a fancy to him?"
