176: Chapter 176: The Oligarch Eagle 176: Chapter 176: The Oligarch Eagle Hearing those words, Lin Shuang’s foot, which had just stepped forward, finally came to a halt.
The corners of his mouth curled into a triumphant arc as he turned around and asked, “What did you do wrong?”
Su Wanqiao bit her lip, stammering, “I…
I was wrong to fire you…
I should not have underestimated you…”
Lin Shuang countered, “So, you’re saying you looked down on me like I was nothing?”
Su Wanqiao gritted her teeth and could only nod firmly, “Yes…
it was me looking down on you.”
But suddenly, she felt something was off?
Was this bastard Lin Shuang mocking her for being a dog?
Su Wanqiao was grinding her teeth in anger, but to keep this powerful fighter by her side, she had to swallow her pride.
The bodyguards present were all stunned.
Is this the same Su Wanqiao who is always so aloof and unapproachable?
Normally, Su Wanqiao was proud and indifferent, but today, she was groveling at Lin Shuang’s feet to apologize?
The contrast was just too great.
Lin Shuang nodded slowly, “Hmm, your apology seems sincere.
Seeing how earnestly you’re admitting your mistake, I can grudgingly agree to continue being your driver and bodyguard.
Does the offer to increase the salary by twenty times still stand?”
Caught off guard by his words, Su Wanqiao looked at him in astonishment, “Didn’t you say…
you didn’t care about my lousy money??”
With a mischievous smile, Lin Shuang exhaled a ring of smoke, “Who could ever resist money, I was just joking with you.
A twentyfold salary increase, that’s settled then.
Consider me on the job now.”
Su Wanqiao was gritting her teeth in fury!
How infuriating could this guy be?!
She had thought he really considered wealth beneath him?
But this guy was just faking it!
“You’ve completely changed!
You are no longer the naive ‘Ice Block’ from two years ago,” Su Wanqiao said through clenched teeth.
Ice Block, that was Lin Shuang’s nickname twenty years ago at the orphanage.
Cold as ice, indifferent to everything.
What have I become?” Lin Shuang asked curiously, with a cigarette in his mouth.
Jerk!” Su Wanqiao bit out the words angrily.
Lin Shuang chuckled mischievously, “Congratulations, you’re starting to like me.
Lu Xun once said, when you hate someone, it means you’re beginning to fall in love with them.”
Su Wanqiao rolled her eyes in exasperation!
This guy, so narcissistic and shameless beyond redemption!
But Su Wanqiao was eyeing Lin Shuang’s formidable combat skills, and she had to endure it.
She had no choice, after all, she needed Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang escorted Su Wanqiao into the bulletproof Red Flag car.
He personally took the wheel, driving Su Wanqiao away from the crime scene and towards the company.
The convoy of Falcon mercenaries and Raystone bodyguards followed closely behind, guarding diligently.
All along the way, the silent Su Wanqiao in the car finally broke the silence, “Lin Shuang…
firing you yesterday wasn’t because I’m ungrateful, I just feared you would get dragged into this.
So I wanted to dismiss you, hoping you could stay out of it.”
Su Wanqiao at last voiced her true feelings.
“The Du Family is after ‘Heavenly Medicine’, and I hold all the research on the Heavenly Medicine technology, so they wouldn’t dare do anything to me.
But it’s different for you, you have no trump card.
If the Du Family took action, they’d really kill you.
That’s why I feared for you and fired you…
I’m sorry,” Su Wanqiao said with a tinge of remorse.
Lin Shuang took a puff of his cigarette and said, “I knew that already.”
Su Wanqiao’s eyes narrowed, “You knew already?
Then why did you make me apologize just now??”
Lin Shuang replied indifferently, “Occasionally putting you in your place lets you know who’s the boss at home.
It’s not good for a woman to be too dominating; the house still needs to listen to the man.
Next time, don’t decide on your own, we’re family, you need to discuss things with me.”
Instantly upon hearing those words, Su Wanqiao was shaking with fury!
You shameless jerk!” Su Wanqiao exploded!
So Lin Shuang had been toying with her all along!?
Su Wanqiao lunged forward, fiercely grabbing Lin Shuang’s ear!
I’m driving here!” Lin Shuang yelped in pain as he cried out.
I’m your leader, your superior!
You’re just my subordinate!!
Get the hierarchy straight!” Su Wanqiao shouted furiously!
Confronted by her fierce demeanor, Lin Shuang could only soften and apologize, “Fine…
“What did you do wrong?!” Su Wanqiao demanded, still gripping his ear!
Lin Shuang pleaded repeatedly, “I was wrong to tease and toy with you, to make you apologize…”
Twenty minutes later, the Red Flag sedan stopped at the base of Su Corporation.
Lin Shuang safely delivered Su Wanqiao to the company.
When colleagues in the company saw Lin Shuang and President Su walking in together, they were all filled with confusion and speculation.
Strange, wasn’t Lin Shuang supposed to have resigned?
How come he’s back again??
Lin Shuang returned to the driver’s office and had just sat down to light a cigarette.
Then there was a knock on the office door.
“Come in,” Lin Shuang called out.
Oligarch Eagle carefully walked in with a group of Falcon mercenaries.
“What’s up?” Lin Shuang asked, frowning.
Oligarch Eagle locked the office door behind him, then approached cautiously and inquired, “Um…
are you from ‘The Summit of Glory’?”
Instantly upon hearing this, Lin Shuang’s gaze sharpened, and he suddenly looked up at him.
In the air, a sudden surge of killing intent filled the space!
