My Ares Son-in-Law

However, Cao Xuan didn't know that although Lin Youya accepted his invitation on the surface, she was already prepared to deal with it in her heart.

She knew that she couldn't trust anyone easily, especially in this business world full of calculations and traps. Therefore, she decided to act cautiously to ensure that she could get out of this dinner safely.

Lin Youya hung up the phone, her brows furrowed, her eyes lingering on the phone screen for a long time, as if she could see some clues from it. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a subtle and rhythmic sound, which was the outward manifestation of her inner anxiety.

After a few seconds, she finally made up her mind and bit her lips. The light pink color was faintly visible between her lips, revealing her inner struggle and anxiety. Then, she took a deep breath and dialed Xiao Chen's number.

Although she felt a little embarrassed to always bother Xiao Chen, every time she opened her mouth it was like asking for a great favor, which made it difficult for her to start talking.

But she couldn't trust other people for such things. In this business world full of calculations and traps, there were not many people she could rely on, and Xiao Chen was undoubtedly one of them.

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen has become a trustworthy person in her heart. His calmness, composure and strength always allow her to find a trace of comfort when facing difficulties.

With him by her side, there is nothing to be afraid of! This sense of trust was gradually built up after she experienced countless setbacks and betrayals, so she cherished it very much.

What's more, Xiao Chen is her personal bodyguard now, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask Xiao Chen for help with this matter, right? She asked herself silently in her heart, trying to find a trace of confidence.

She knew that Xiao Chen's duty was to protect her safety, and although this dinner seemed to be just a simple exchange on the surface, she felt that there was something hidden in it. Therefore, she needed Xiao Chen's company and protection to ensure that she could spend the night safely.

"Xiao Chen, are you free tonight..." There was a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in her voice, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to trouble you again..." When she said this, there was a hint of apology and helplessness in her tone.

She knew that she always found Xiao Chen when he needed help the most, which put a lot of extra pressure and responsibility on him. However, she really had no other choice.

Then, Lin Youya told them everything about the company and explained that Cao Xuan had invited her to dinner in the evening. Although her voice was calm, it revealed an indescribable tension and anxiety.

She hopes Xiao Chen can understand her situation and be willing to lend a helping hand again.

Hearing Cao Xuan's name mentioned on the other end of the phone, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile, and said in a teasing tone, "Haha, I didn't expect that Cao Xuan would really make a fuss out of nothing and use a chicken feather as a token of authority."

Lin Youya sighed softly on the other end of the phone, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice:

"That's right. He suddenly called me and asked me to have dinner with him in the evening. He said he wanted to discuss the company's recent rectification issues. It sounded quite formal, so I had to agree.

But I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart, I feel that this Cao Xuan is not that simple, as if he has something hidden. So, I would like to ask you to go with me, okay? I feel much more at ease with you here. "

Xiao Chen smiled heartily upon hearing this, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "Of course it's no problem, Elegant. Don't forget, I'm your personal bodyguard, and it's my duty to protect your safety.

Besides, I just met this Cao Xuan a few days ago, and there is a little conflict between us. If he really dares to do anything bad to you, I guarantee that he will regret it, and let him know how many eyes the horse king has, hum." When Lin Youya heard this on the other end of the phone, the big stone in her heart fell to the ground instantly, and a smile unconsciously bloomed on her face: "That's great, Xiao Chen! With you here, I really am not afraid of anything. This time, I'll leave the dinner to you."

Hearing Xiao Chen's agreement, Lin Youya immediately felt relieved. Now, she trusts Xiao Chen completely.

Xiao Chen also smiled, with a hint of warmth and comfort in his voice: "Don't worry, Youya. I'm here, you'll be fine. See you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen's expression became a little subtle, his brows were slightly furrowed, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

It's really like a mountain that doesn't move, but the water moves! I didn't expect that Cao Xuan would climb up to the top of the Lin Group so quickly. It's really unexpected.

Recalling the look on Cao Xuan's face at the class reunion, where he was so proud and boasted about his position as deputy leader of the inspection team, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shake his head, secretly lamenting that the world is fickle and people's hearts have changed.

Cao Xuan, this guy, just got a little power in his hands, and he forgot his own name. He was so arrogant, is there someone behind him secretly instigating him? Xiao Chen pondered in his heart, full of doubts about Cao Xuan's background and motives.

Today's dinner party was not going to be simple. It was probably a Hongmen Banquet. What requests would Cao Xuan make? What tricks would he play? Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel alert and vigilant. He knew very well that in this complex and ever-changing society, people's hearts were hidden and he had to be on guard.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He made a seal and quickly flipped his hands, his movements were skillful and smooth. Then, he took out a piece of talisman paper from the drawer, placed it on the table, and began to make a talisman. His movements were focused and serious, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.

Xiao Chen had met Cao Xuan and knew that this person was cunning and ruthless. Therefore, it was better not to show up at the beginning, so as not to mess things up.

After all, everything they knew about Cao Xuan was just speculation, and there was no solid evidence to verify it. Xiao Chen decided to observe secretly to see what Cao Xuan was planning, and then take action when the time was right.

It will be easy if I give this talisman to Lin Youya, Xiao Chen thought to himself.

This talisman not only contains a powerful protective force that can always protect Lin Youya's safety, but its unique recording function is even more amazing. It can accurately record every detail of what happens at the scene, whether it is sound or image, nothing can escape its capture.

Such a magical device is undoubtedly much more powerful and reliable than those video and surveillance equipment that rely on electronic technology.

After all, in this era of rapid technological advancement, although electronic products are convenient, they also have many limitations. Once they encounter strong electromagnetic interference or are maliciously shielded, they will instantly lose their function and become decorations.

People who have done bad things have become more careful recently, after all, too many have been exposed. (End of this chapter)
