Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: You Are Being Bugged

On the way back to the Group, Lin Fan interacted with Su Yanyu for a while, and was totally defeated by her!

No smoking, no swearing, no looking at beauties on the street, and definitely no staring at her!

What am I here for, a personal driver or a slave?

Arriving at Yanyu Group, Lin Fan parked the car in the underground garage, and then he and Su Yanyu took the elevator to the 29th floor, the Chairman's office!

As they reached the door, Su Yanyu deliberately paused, striking a CEO pose, and said authoritatively: "Open the door."

Lin Fan awkwardly scratched his nose, walked over, and pushed the door open, loudly announcing, "Old Dong, I've brought the president back!"

"Mr. Lin, you're finally back, much appreciated!"

In the luxurious office, a hearty and powerful laugh immediately sounded.

A middle-aged man in a light gray suit, slightly chubby, greeted warmly, enthusiastically shaking Lin Fan's hand.

It was none other than Su Funong, the Chairman of Yanyu Group.

Standing at the door, Su Yanyu frowned as she witnessed this – her father, the Chairman, actually got up personally to welcome his chauffeur!

And she hadn't seen her father for a while, yet after getting up, the first person he greeted wasn't even her, making Su Yanyu feel quite strange!

"Chairman Su, you're being too kind, just doing my duty." Lin Fan smiled politely, deftly withdrawing his hand, for he had no habit of shaking hands with older men; if it were Su Yanyu, he might consider it.

"Old Dong, now that I've completed my task, I'll leave you two to catch up." Lin Fan grinned casually, turning to leave.

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment." Su Funong hurriedly stopped Lin Fan.

"Is there something else, Old Dong?" Lin Fan asked with confusion.

"There are no outsiders here, Mr. Lin, no need to avoid us, please have a seat and have some tea." Su Funong hurriedly invited Lin Fan to the sofa.

Estimating that Su Funong had more to say, Lin Fan casually sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and began to sip a cup of hot tea.

This scene left Su Yanyu stunned; she couldn't figure out why her usually selfless father was so respectful towards Lin Fan. She said in a deep voice, "Dad! I've returned!"

"Daughter, you've finally returned, I've missed you so much." Su Funong said with a loving smile, spreading his arms for a hug.

The father and daughter embraced, Su Funong carefully looked over Su Yanyu and said with a smile, "I didn't expect my precious daughter to become more beautiful and spirited; these past years you've been abroad alone, I've been too busy with work to visit often, it's been hard on you."

"I'm fine! It's all for the future development of Yanyu Group." Although Su Yanyu's tone had softened, her words still carried a cold touch.

Su Funong sighed helplessly, the reason why Su Yanyu turned out this way had always been his greatest regret!

"Daughter, what I owe you these years, I promise I'll make it up to you tenfold, I will agree to anything you want as long as I can do it!" Su Funong said with affection.

"Anything? Alright! First, fire this guy!" Su Yanyu suddenly pointed at Lin Fan, saying coldly.

Pfft~

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of tea he had just sipped, getting fired on his first day? Damn it, what kind of situation is this? I might set a world record!

"Boss, why are you firing me? I still got a sixty out of a hundred!" Lin Fan complained.

"Even if you have sixty, that doesn't mean I can't fire you!" Su Yanyu said haughtily, raising her head.

Previously, Su Yanyu intended to keep Lin Fan for the time being and replace him with a suitable person later, but Lin Fan's recent disrespectful and casual demeanor made Su Yanyu lose all favor for him; this was not a personal driver, more like a lord!

Su Yanyu addressed Su Funong, "Dad, I hope you seriously consider my suggestion. Keeping someone like him around will ruin the atmosphere of our Group!"

"Ruin... the atmosphere?"

Lin Fan almost choked on another mouthful of tea, how did her words depict him as some rogue? Am I really that bad?

"Yanyu, Mr. Lin is a highly skilled professional I specifically hired to protect you, do not be disrespectful!" Su Funong quickly asserted with authority, fully aware of Lin Fan's true identity, fearing that his headstrong daughter might provoke Lin Fan's dignity.

"Him? A highly skilled professional?" Su Yanyu scoffed with a disdainful sneer.

Su Funong knew his daughter had achieved great things in the international business world over the past few years, which might make her somewhat arrogant!

He sighed and said, "Precious daughter, domestic situations are different from abroad; your methods from abroad won't work here! Furthermore, the new energy project is highly sought after, with numerous businessmen eyeing it, competition is fierce."

"Now that they've launched a project to develop new energy domestically, and you've brought back the latest technology from abroad, there's no guarantee people won't get jealous and try to harm you. Your safety must be ensured, with Mr. Lin protecting you, I can be at ease!" Su Funong explained earnestly.

"But I am the president, do I not have the right to choose who gets hired as my personal driver?" Su Yanyu assertively retorted.

"Anyone else is fine, but not Mr. Lin! I've issued a command, only I can fire Mr. Lin, and this matter is not to be mentioned again!" Su Funong waved his hand, displaying a firm attitude.

Su Yanyu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, she hadn't expected her father to be so adamant, and seeing Lin Fan's triumphant expression filled her with anger.

She was an elite returnee, having such a rogue as her personal driver? Su Yanyu felt it was beneath her!

"Alright then! Since Mr. Lin is highly skilled, may I ask where Mr. Lin previously excelled?" Su Yanyu asked sternly, staring coldly at Lin Fan.

"Worked abroad for a few years." Lin Fan replied vaguely.

"Oh? Since when did a mere laborer have such skills? Do you take me for a fool?" Su Yanyu recalled an incident at the airport and sneered.

"Uh... practiced martial arts as a child, so I have some foundation." Lin Fan hadn't expected this woman to be so meticulous, he explained simply.

"So, Mr. Lin is just an ordinary person? I'm even more curious now, what does Mr. Lin intend to do to protect me? What qualifications do you have to protect me?"

Su Yanyu persisted, bombarding Lin Fan with tricky questions like cannonfire, which would likely make an ordinary person falter.

However, Lin Fan remained unperturbed and said nonchalantly, "Boss, are you testing my skills?"

"And if I am?" Su Yanyu lifted her head slightly, speaking proudly.

"Alright then! I'll play along."

Lin Fan grinned, suddenly getting up and walking towards Su Yanyu, reaching out to touch her delicate face.

"What do you think you're doing?" Su Yanyu's expression changed immediately, and she swiftly stepped back!

But Lin Fan's movements were too fast; her retreating steps hadn't even landed before his hand brushed across her delicate face!

Then, Lin Fan's hand gently lifted her silky hair, as if caressing a work of art, fingers slipping through the strands gently.

Su Yanyu was so angry her teeth clenched with a grinding sound, this bastard, daring to be so forward, is he tired of living!

As Su Yanyu was about to blow up, Lin Fan conveniently withdrew his hand, holding a small black dot between two fingertips!

"What is this?" Su Funong asked in surprise.

"It's the latest micro-listening device researched in the United States, can be hidden in a person's hair, and is hard to dislodge unless intentionally removed." Lin Fan smiled casually.

"What? A listening device?" Su Yanyu was startled, her eyebrows furrowed tightly!

The thought of her every move under an enemy's surveillance sent shivers down Su Yanyu's spine!

"Rest assured, boss, this is the only device on you, but it seems you've already been targeted."

Lin Fan exerted a little force with his fingers, breaking the device in half, and chuckled, "Chairman Su, may I borrow your laptop for a moment?"

"N—no problem." Su Funong said hurriedly, amazed by Lin Fan's demonstration of skill, realizing he hadn't hired the wrong person!

Lin Fan casually booted up Su Funong's laptop and deftly entered a URL; a skull, crossed by two sharp daggers, immediately appeared onscreen!

Lin Fan calmly entered a website using quick and practiced keystrokes, causing Su Yanyu and Su Funong's heads to spin in confusion!

In no time, the words "Dark Website" appeared in blood-red colors on the screen, giving both Su Yanyu and Su Funong a start!

But Lin Fan remained unfazed, efficiently downloading a program!

A skeleton head with two crossing daggers appeared on screen, as five small red dots emerged within the rotating scope of a program he had skillfully installed!

"What's that?" Su Yanyu inquired.

"This indicates the latest listening devices from the United States," Lin Fan said with a piercing look. "It appears you've been marked by someone, as there are five other listening devices detected in the environment!"
