No.1 Bodyguard

Chapter 2 Guardian

The ninth day of the first month.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiaocao appeared at the railway station in Nine Continents City during the warmest time of winter.

The Nine Continents City Railway Station was still packed with people. During the Spring Festival travel season, countless people returned to their hometowns and left their homes. The huge station was filled with dense crowds. They hurried to the exit or to the train. The city's extremely fast pace rushed towards Lin Xiaocao the moment he stepped foot in Nine Continents City.

In the crowd, Lin Xiaocao , who was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, remained motionless. He only raised his head and looked carefully at every corner of the station. His eyes were covered by pitch-black lenses, and no one could see his eyes clearly.

This city, known as the capital, was not only the capital of the empire, but also of extraordinary significance to him.

This place where his life began, this place where he suffered, this place where he had gathered too much hatred.

Who would have thought that there would be a day when the child who had no other emotions except despair would stand here?

Nine Continents City, I haven't seen you for a long time.

In the dense crowd, Lin Xiaocao 's lips curled up gently without moving his head. He casually removed his sunglasses and ruffled the muscles on his face with both hands. When he put his hands down again, his expressionless face had already revealed an extremely natural smile.

Holding the luggage tightly in his hand, Lin Xiaocao took a deep breath, followed the crowd and strode out of the station.

Lin Xiaocao , who was always paying attention to his surroundings, had already discovered the person who had come to the station to pick him up.

A white-haired and well-dressed old man stood in front of him with both hands crossed over his stomach and a smile on his face. Behind him, two sturdy and fierce men stood quietly with a large sign that read " Lin Xiaocao " on it.

Perhaps the aura of the three of them was too strong. Within the dense crowd, a small vacuum formed around the three of them, separating them from the crowd. It looked very abrupt.

Lin Xiaocao 's smile slowly subsided. He carried his luggage through the crowd and went straight to the three of them. "I'm Lin Xiaocao . Two hours ago, I spoke to Mr. Lin Huaiyu on the phone."

As he spoke of Lin Huaiyu , Lin Xiaocao 's eyes became even calmer.

Before Lin Xiaocao could get close, he had already noticed the old man's eyebrows twitching, and his smile stiffened slightly. He couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaocao carefully.

Although he knew that he was going to pick up a young man this time, this young man in front of him seemed to be a bit too young. This young man, who looked only twenty-two or thirteen years old, could really protect the key figures of the clan without any injuries? What exactly did Master think?

The worries in the old man's eyes flashed and his stiff smile relaxed again. He looked at Lin Xiaocao kindly and took the initiative to extend his hand. He smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Mr Lin , I am Ah Fu, the housekeeper of the Lin Family. My lord sent me to pick you up."

Lin Xiaocao nodded and reached out to shake the old butler's hand. He said calmly, "Thank you, Elder Fu."

An old man with a popular name didn't care about Lin Xiaocao's reservations. He smiled and waved his hand, leading Lin Xiaocao out of the station.

Outside the train station was a well-behaved black Audi. The two men brought by Old Fu sat in the driver's seat and the passenger's seat without saying a word. It seemed that the old butler with a smile and Lin Xiaocao sat in the back row at all times.

The weather in Nine Continents City was peaceful and sunny.

Under the warm sunshine, Audi was driving steadily on the streets. The old man and the young man in the back row of the car were silently thinking about their own thoughts.

" Mr Lin , is this your first time in the capital?"

The old butler put down his anxiety and anxiety and broke the silence first. He smiled and asked. Many people in the empire were used to calling the Nine Continents City the capital. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital was an important place. It was not impossible to call it that.

"Elder Fu can call me Xiao Cao. Mr Lin 's address doesn't sound pleasant to the ear. I left here for Kunlun when I was very young. It's my first time back in so many years."

Lin Xiaocao withdrew his gaze from the window and smiled calmly at the old butler.

The old butler nodded in surprise. He looked at Lin Xiaocao and smiled casually, "I didn't expect Lin Xiaocao's home to be in the capital. Is there anyone else at home?"

"Nothing."

Lin Xiaocao narrowed his eyes, but replied without hesitation.

Elder Fu replied. Seeing Lin Xiaocao turn his gaze to the bustling skyscrapers outside the window, he clearly didn't want to say anything. He smiled and didn't say anything.

The location of the Lin Clan in the capital was number three of the Tiangong Mansion. Although it was called the mansion, it was actually a mountain. From the hillside to the peak, there were 30 luxurious houses with beautiful scenery and majestic atmosphere. No single head of household could shake the capital with a stomp of his foot. However, he was at least a well-known figure with great fame. Audi directly entered through the gate at the foot of the mountain without stopping. He winded his way up and stopped when he was close to the top of the mountain. What appeared in front of Lin Xiaocao was a villa decorated with green mountains and rivers and filled with a modern aura.

The upper and lower four floors covered an area of nearly 3,000 square meters. In such a large capital, such a luxurious mansion could be considered a symbol of status.

"The Lin Clan is really rich."

Lin Xiaocao , who had been silent most of the way, looked at the villa in front of him and suddenly smiled.

Elder Fu was slightly stunned, then his expression became somewhat reserved. He smiled and said, "Our Lin Clan still has some strength in the capital. Friends at all levels will also give us some face."

To Uncle Fu's surprise, Lin Xiaocao , who had been sighing with emotion just now, only responded in a neither salty nor indifferent manner this time before directly pushing open the car door and getting off the car.

The door of the villa opened perfectly. A tall young woman stood calmly at the door. She looked at Lin Xiaocao who had just gotten off the car. Her gaze was gentle and calm, but it carried a trace of undetectable scrutiny.

This is a very beautiful woman.

A standard melon-seeded face, long hair, and bright eyes were worthy of a picturesque evaluation.

However, what impressed people the most was her temperament. It was unique, strong, calm, and carried a trace of pride that did not annoy others.

A woman without temperament might be very beautiful, but a beautiful woman definitely had temperament.

The so-called goddess was a woman who successfully combined her temperament and appearance.

Standing in front of the villa and examining Lin Xiaocao , she was undoubtedly the kind of beauty that countless men could kneel on the altar beneath her feet without hesitation.

Lin Xiaocao 's eyes went absent-minded for a moment, and then he instantly reacted. He narrowed his eyes and followed behind Elder Fu towards the villa gate.

No one noticed that Lin Xiaocao , who had been calm since she got on the car, was trembling and twitching her muscles at the corner of her eyes.

"Grandpa Fu, you're back. Is this the person that Grandpa sent you to pick up?"

The quiet woman standing at the door smiled and said. She looked at Lin Xiaocao without any hesitation.

Honestly speaking, from her first impression, she had a good impression of Lin Xiaocao . Her figure was tall and slender, and her face was also very handsome. Her edges and corners were clear, and she looked very resolute and full of manliness. She had seen a lot of beautiful men, but those people were either too feminine or too cold, making people feel uncomfortable. As for Lin Xiaocao , a man who made people unconsciously feel safe the moment they saw him, she did have a reason to admire him.

"That's right, a very good young man. Little Cao, let me introduce you. This is the second young miss of the Lin family, Lin Shuimo . Shuimo, this is Lin Xiaocao . In the future, he will be responsible for your safety."

Old Fu smiled and looked at Lin Shuimo as if he was looking at his own granddaughter, revealing a kind of doting from his bones.

Lin Xiaocao looked at Lin Shuimo and nodded slightly, but the smile on his face was a little stiff.

Lin Shuimo stretched out his hand and shook Lin Xiaocao 's hand. He smiled and said, "Hello, please come in. Grandpa, Second Uncle, and Big Sister are waiting for you."

"Alright."

Lin Xiaocao didn't say much and followed behind Lin Shuimo and Elder Fu into the villa.

The two silent men who followed Uncle Fu to the station had already disappeared in a low profile.

The interior of the villa was spacious. The decoration style was completely different from the modern style outside. The retro style of the villa was neither luxurious nor luxurious, nor did it have the aura of a golden nouveau riche. The wooden floor and mahogany sofa were filled with a sense of calm and heavy. They were low-key and reserved.

The moment Lin Xiaocao entered the villa, three different gazes were locked onto him in the reception hall on the first floor.

Lin Xiaocao 's expression did not change at all. He raised his head and looked over. His gaze was calm as he looked at the three people in the reception hall, or rather, the three generations of people.

An old man about seventy years old was sitting in the middle. His expression was dignified and his eyes were burning as he looked at Lin Xiaocao . There was joy in his eyes, but there was also a trace of doubt in his eyes.

On the left of the old man sat a very handsome middle-aged man. He was close to fifty years old and had a smile on his face. However, he looked at Lin Xiaocao with a playful look in his eyes.

On the old man's right, there was a woman who looked roughly the same as Lin Shuimo . She was probably older than Lin Shuimo . What was even more eye-catching was her camouflage military uniform. Her aura was cold and sharp, just like the way she looked at Lin Xiaocao , with undisguised doubts and guesses.

In terms of bloodline, apart from himself and housekeeper Fu Lao, the rest of the people present were his grandfather, his uncle, and his sister.

Lin Xiaocao sneered in his heart, and a surge of hostility almost uncontrollably emerged from his heart, covering his entire body.

In almost an instant, Lin Xiaocao 's originally calm temperament instantly changed, becoming numb and indifferent. There was also a trace of inexplicable hostility and hatred.

The changes came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiaocao reacted and became calm again.

He took the initiative to take a step forward and said calmly, "Mr. Lin, Second Master asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"Good, good, little grass. How is Elder Ye? Is he alright? He is the most important wealth and symbol of our empire. I saw Elder Ye a few years ago and still remember him."

Sitting in the center, Lin Huaiyu laughed and waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

"The old man eats well and sleeps well. His body is fine. This is the letter that the old man wants me to hand over to Mr. Lin."

Lin Xiaocao took out a letter from his trench coat pocket and handed it to Lin Huaiyu . He sat on the sofa and replied calmly. Other than Lin Huaiyu , he had never looked at the middle-aged man and young woman sitting beside him.

The middle-aged man could still keep a smile on his face, but the young woman in the camouflage uniform's eyes were getting colder and colder.

"That's good, that's good."

Lin Huaiyu took the envelope with both hands and looked at Lin Xiaocao . He patted the middle-aged man beside him affectionately and smiled, "This is my second son, Lin Yingye. This is my granddaughter, Lin Danqing. Do you know Shui Mo and Afu?" "We're the only ones at home today. We'll have dinner together later to welcome you. Ah Fu, take out a few bottles of good wine from my collection and give the grass a taste."

"I don't drink."

Lin Xiaocao 's tone was still as calm as ever. Without the slightest ripple, he looked straight at the smiling Lin Huaiyu and paused for a moment before continuing, "If you drink too much wine, your hands will tremble."

This time, even Lin Yiye, who was sitting beside Lin Huaiyu , frowned.

It wasn't because Lin Xiaocao didn't drink, but because of this young man's attitude!

His father introduced him for a long time, but this kid didn't listen to him at all. His gaze never looked at him. He had been talking to his father from the beginning. Could it be that he was sitting here, really an invisible person?

Judging from his reaction just now, could it be that this young man really harboured some inexplicable hostility towards the Lin Clan?

Lin Ye exchanged glances with his father, but for a moment, no one spoke.

On the other hand, a trace of admiration flashed through Lin Danqing's cold eyes.

Drinking too much alcohol would indeed affect the stability of one's palm, but it would definitely not shake like a whirlwind. It was basically difficult to detect a slight tremor, and it had no effect on the vast majority of people. It would only have side effects on a small number of people, such as a top sniper!

Any trace of instability in his palm was enough to cause a fatal impact on a top gunner.

Lin Danqing wasn't sure if Lin Xiaocao could protect her sister, but at the very least, she agreed with her attitude.

"Alright, it's a good thing not to drink. You guys talk first. Let me see what Elder Ye has to say to me. Little Cao, I'll trouble you with the safety of ink washing in the future. Tell Little Cao the reason why you asked him to protect ink washing."

Lin Huaiyu was silent for a moment as he opened the envelope and chuckled.

"I'm not interested in the Lin Family."

Lin Xiaocao replied stiffly. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile that seemed to be mocking and ridiculing, "I will be responsible for 100% protecting Miss Lin's safety, but I don't need to listen to the content. Mr. Lin, I'm here on orders from my master, but I also need to eat. If you don't mind, I want to talk about the reward for protecting Miss Lin, okay?"

Lin Huaiyu 's hand stiffened as he opened the envelope. His face darkened, but he pretended not to hear and threw the ball to his son.

Lin Yiye narrowed his eyes. He looked at the serious-looking young man in front of him and exchanged glances with Lin Shuimo , who had already frowned. However, he was no longer angry in his heart.

Right now, he was basically certain that this young man was indeed hostile to the Lin Clan. This time, he was reluctant to protect Shui Mo. However, due to his master's orders, he had no choice but to come. His attitude was very obvious. People had to be protected, but if he had the chance to make his clan unhappy, he would definitely not refuse.

What an interesting young man.

Lin Ye was a little curious about where the enemy's hostility came from, but he didn't ask anymore. As long as he was in the Lin Clan, he would have a chance to understand this kind of question.

"How much do you want?"

Lin Shuimo asked.

Regardless of her temperament or appearance, she could be said to be a goddess. Her tone was still calm as she looked at Lin Xiaocao calmly, as if she was doing business.

Naturally, she could see the problems that Lin Yaoye could see. Her pride and stubbornness could not allow her to respond to Lin Xiaocao's hostility in a friendly manner. In her opinion, her family's performance today had already given the other party enough face. If she was just a bodyguard, then why would grandfather, second uncle, or even eldest sister have to show up? It was enough for him to step forward. Wasn't this posture just to respect Elder Ye behind Lin Xiaocao? But now that Lin Xiaocao had no good impression of the Lin Clan, Lin Shuimo was too lazy to try to get along with Elder Ye and do business. He could do whatever he wanted. It was easy to do if he wanted money. It was a sign of financial resources for the Lin Clan to live here. Moreover, how much could it cost to support a bodyguard?

"One million a month. If you count the annual salary, ten million a year."

Lin Xiaocao said an astronomical figure without changing his expression. He paused for a moment and didn't look at Lin Yingye, Lin Shuimo , or even Lin Danqing's ugly face. He added two more words, "US dollars."

The hall became completely quiet.

Lin Shuimo opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Xiaocao with a calm expression, as if he was frightened.

Ten million dollars wasn't a big number for the Lin Family, but using this price to hire a bodyguard?

Money isn't such a waste!

Hire a retired bodyguard from the Special Forces, and his annual salary is only a few hundred thousand yuan at most!

The moment this guy opened his mouth, he immediately asked for US dollars?

Lin Yiye also looked at Lin Xiaocao with a strange expression, as if he was looking at a monster.

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Lin Danqing, who was sitting on the seat, asked coldly. Her voice was cold and pleasant to the ear. She tidied up her camouflaged military uniform, and her fighting spirit burst forth. Her aura instantly became cold.

"This is my bottom line."

Lin Xiaocao picked up the tea that Uncle Fu had given him, took a sip, and said slowly.

"…"

Alright, the price of $10 million a year is still the bottom line, blocking the room for bargaining. This is the same as how much the Lin Family has taken advantage of him.

Lin Dan Qing glanced at her younger sister. The coldness in her eyes flashed and she slowly stood up. She said indifferently, "Ten million dollars is nothing to the Lin Family. I can give it to you. But Mr. Lin Xiao Cao, you have to prove to me that you have the ability to take this money."

"How can I prove it?"

Lin Xiaocao looked up at her.

"Defeat me!"

Lin Danqing's aura continued to rise. At this moment, a woman's fighting spirit soared into the sky. Her gaze at Lin Xiaocao was filled with contempt.

"Alright."

Lin Xiaocao nodded and stood up.

Based on his experience in the mercenary world, this woman wasn't worth ten million dollars, but it shouldn't be far off.

"Wait a moment."

An aged voice rang out, unquestionable.

Lin Danqing, who was already prepared to teach this fellow a lesson, was slightly shocked. He looked at his grandfather with a puzzled expression.

Lin Huaiyu took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xiaocao with a complicated expression. After a while, he said indifferently, "I agree to his conditions!"

"Grandfather!"

"Father!"

The Lin Clan's Dan Qing Shui Mo and Lin Ye Ye's faces were filled with disbelief.

Lin Huaiyu waved his hand and carefully folded the letter. He carefully put it into his pocket and let out a long sigh.

He had originally thought that he had only asked Elder Ye for help because he had obtained a bodyguard. Although he was disappointed in his heart, it was not easy to refuse.

However, Elder Ye clearly told him in that letter that Lin Xiaocao 's position in the Lin Clan was not as simple as Lin Shuimo 's bodyguard.

It was a guardian!

The Lin Family Guardian!
