Chapter 215: Chapter 126 Free Bodyguard_2
When Yan Fei first learned of this news, he only felt that he had acquired another weapon to grow and strengthen his arsenal, but had not yet figured out how to utilize this weapon for development. Little did he know that once Lu Pingping deduced this information, she immediately came up with a series of promotion plans and began to implement them. It must be said that Lu Pingping has a keen business sense; she was born to be a qualified corporate helmsman.

At that moment, the captain of the Dream Technology security team, who had been notified by Yan Fei over the phone, finally arrived with his subordinates. Upon seeing Lu Pingping return safely, he was immediately overwhelmed with emotion.
The security captain was a middle-aged man named Wang Dehua, a retired distinguished soldier recommended by the Shanghai Military Career Services Center, possessing strong military discipline. He was very diligent within the Company, always striving to fill the security gaps. Even so, the Company still experienced the grievous incident of the General Manager being kidnapped, leaving the conscientious Wang Dehua feeling deeply ashamed.
First, Wang Dehua commanded his men to encircle Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, ensuring their protection, then he said to Yan Fei, “Boss, I’m sorry, I failed in my duty. I will resign to take responsibility for this incident.”
Yan Fei said, “Now is not the time to talk about this. Let’s discuss it after we have resolved the current issue. Until then, you are still the Company’s security captain.”
Wang Dehua, along with the security personnel, surrounded Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, escorting them away from the area and boarding the vehicles parked in the distance. Lu Pingping looked back at Su Tan’er, who stood there in a daze, and said, “Little sister, give it some thought. Once you make up your mind, come find us at the Dream Technology headquarters.”
...
Su Tan’er nodded subconsciously, indicating she understood.
Yan Fei, encircled by the security team, returned to the Company headquarters with Lu Pingping. Unlike the grand scene filled with journalists the previous night, the place appeared empty during the day, and he didn’t see a single journalist. It seemed that after Yan Fei had tricked them the night before, those journalists had grown to despise him.
No sooner had Yan Fei and Lu Pingping settled in their Office to discuss the current situation faced by the Company, an unexpected visitor arrived. The visitor was a young woman, none other than Yu Xiaozhou from the China Special Duties Unit, followed by a silent man in sunglasses.
Upon seeing Lu Pingping beside Yan Fei, Yu Xiaozhou said, “Mr. Lu, congratulations on your safe return!”
Then, turning to Yan Fei, she said, “Mr. Yan, I need to confirm something with you. Is it true that you posted the bounty task on the Dark Web’s underworld to rescue Lu Pingping?”
Yan Fei blinked his eyes and said, “What underworld? What bounty task? I have no idea what you’re talking about?”
When Yan Fei had put up the bounty task on the Dark Web, he had not intended to hide his identity at all. His very purpose was to let everyone know that he was the one who had posted the bounty. Therefore, when choosing the name for the task, he named it “Fei Ping,” and when transferring funds to the Dark Web’s Margin Account, he used the Company’s own account, leaving it easy for any interested party to trace the connection between Yan Fei and the poster of the bounty task.
Only by doing so could Yan Fei convey to the outside world his resolute stance; that he would rather see both sides destroyed than compromise. If you had the audacity to kidnap one of my people, I would instantly hire others to eliminate you. Yan Fei wanted to craft an image of recklessness, to make those who dared to harm him think twice before acting, to weigh if they could withstand his retaliation.
Because Yan Fei had deliberately arranged this, he had anticipated being questioned about this matter and had already thought of a response plan, which was to steadfastly deny everything. As long as he outright denied it and refused to admit any involvement, there would be no issue, especially since no one had concrete evidence to prove he did it. After all, though the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain couldn’t break through internet restrictions, no one could catch its trace online.
As expected, the moment Yan Fei returned, Yu Xiaozhou came looking to question him about the incident. He immediately stuck to the predetermined policy of flat denial, pretending to know nothing about it.
As a powerful branch of China, the China Special Duties Unit, which had control over vast intelligence channels, naturally knew the related intelligence on the Dark Web’s underworld, and they were aware that the bounty task had been completed. That’s why Yu Xiaozhou had immediately come to inquire about it.
Seeing Yan Fei’s categorical denial, Yu Xiaozhou said, “Mr. Yan, we have already investigated, and your company account has just transferred two hundred million US Dollars. That must be the bounty for the bounty task, right?”
Yan Fei shook his head and said, “I have other uses for those two hundred million dollars; it’s not any bounty. I truly don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yu Xiaozhou thought that his tone might have been too urgent and offended Yan Fei, so he immediately changed his tone and said, “Mr. Yan, didn’t I tell you before? The Assassin Sect is very powerful, with countless people dying by their assassins’ hands, very few of whom survive. You publicly posting a bounty task on the Dark Web, and with the Destroyer having killed so many of the Assassin Sect to save Lu Pingping, you’ve created a deep hatred. The Assassin Sect’s people must be enraged, and they will surely come for revenge. Both you and Lu Pingping are now in danger and could face life and death at any moment.”
Only then did Yan Fei realize that Yu Xiaozhou was worried for his and Lu Pingping’s safety, not coming for accountability. After all, offering a two hundred million dollar bounty online and then having someone killed because of it was somewhat shady, so Yan Fei naturally chose to deny it.
He said, “Although the Assassin Sect is formidable, I believe that they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble within China’s borders. After all, we have your protection here, so we are still safe, aren’t we?”
Yu Xiaozhou probably understood that Yan Fei would never admit to posting a bounty task on the Dark Web and could only say, “Having offended the Assassin Sect, you and Lu Pingping could face their revenge at any moment. Your situation is very dangerous. However, as long as you and Lu Pingping don’t travel abroad or wander around, we can ensure your safety domestically. The last time Lu Pingping was kidnapped, it was because we had overlooked the Assassin Sect and they found a loophole. Now that we are prepared, they will find it very difficult to stir trouble on our home turf.”
Yu Xiaozhou, pointing to the sunglasses-wearing man behind him, said, “Mr. Yan, let me introduce you. This is our colleague from the department; his name is Eagle, and he’s very powerful. He’ll be protecting you for a while until we deem it safe. I will provide close protection for Lu Pingping to ensure she won’t fall victim to the assassins from the Assassin Sect.”
Yan Fei looked at the man in sunglasses, Eagle, noting that although he seemed quite powerful, he wasn’t a match for Hideo Oogawa from the Oogawa Family, and certainly not his match now. However, he couldn’t refuse this free bodyguard. He might be fine, but Lu Pingping still needed protection. Although Yu Xiaozhou’s strength was also not as high as Hideo Oogawa’s, this was their domain, and Yan Fei believed they were more than capable of ensuring his and Lu Pingping’s safety. With their help, he could save some effort when dealing with the Assassin Sect.
As Yan Fei was weighing the potential negative impacts of having two Special Duty Group members nearby on his upcoming actions, Yu Xiaozhou continued, “Mr. Yan, our protection is very professional, and it won’t interfere with your normal work at all. Moreover, we won’t be directly by your side, but will instead protect you from the shadows, and you can rest assured about that.”
Yan Fei immediately said, “In that case, we have to thank you. Those assassins from the Assassin Sect haven’t been entirely wiped out, and we are truly not safe yet. We need your protection.”
So Yu Xiaozhou and Eagle, after giving Yan Fei and Lu Pingping some precautionary advice and leaving them a few special-purpose devices, left Dream Technology Company. Although they appeared to leave, the personnel they had arranged to protect Yan Fei and Lu Pingping did not. They remained and began their covert protection operation for Yan Fei and Lu Pingping.
