Chapter 21 Quickly Transmigrated! Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard Overnight (24)
I understand that he represents the conservative forces of the older generation of the Shen family and is cautious about any changes. If I want to completely get him to agree with my plan, it is not enough to rely on Shen Haoxuan's support alone. I must come up with more convincing practical results.
In the next few days, I almost completely devoted myself to the work. I carefully studied the surveillance video of the Shen family villa, simulated various possible emergencies over and over again, and rehearsed the response strategies in my mind. I even began to pay attention to the environment around the villa, observing the terrain, vegetation, personnel flow and all other factors that might affect safety. I was like a precision machine, not missing any subtle details.
During the day, I followed Shen Haoxuan closely, keeping alert at all times. At night, when everyone was asleep, I patrolled the villa alone, checking the doors and windows, monitoring equipment, and even the bushes in the garden. I forced myself to think like a real bodyguard, to figure out potential threats and develop corresponding preventive measures.
This highly tense state made me physically and mentally exhausted, but at the same time it also gave me a deeper understanding of the Shen family's security system. I found that Mr. Chen's worries were not unfounded. Although the Shen family's security system seemed to be perfect, there were indeed loopholes in some details. For example, the coverage of the surveillance camera was not comprehensive enough, and some blind spots were easily exploited by intruders; the patrol route was too fixed, and it was easy for the pattern to be figured out; there were also some problems in the communication and coordination between the bodyguards.
I recorded these findings one by one and began to improve my plan. I replanned the layout of the surveillance cameras, adding night vision and motion detection functions; I designed more flexible patrol routes and developed emergency response plans; I also suggested strengthening teamwork training among bodyguards to improve their ability to work together.
My efforts were gradually recognized by other bodyguards. They began to communicate with me, share experiences, and even offer some constructive suggestions. Although Captain Zhao still kept his distance from me on the surface, the hostility in his eyes was gone. I knew that I was slowly winning their trust.
One night, I was patrolling the villa as usual. Suddenly, I heard a faint sound coming from the garden. I immediately became alert, walked lightly in the direction of the sound. In the moonlight, I saw a dark shadow swaying in the flowers. I held my breath, slowly approached, and then pounced on it...
"It's me." A deep voice sounded in my ears.
I was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that it was... Shen Haoxuan.
Under the moonlight, Shen Haoxuan's face looked particularly handsome and indifferent. He glanced at me, said nothing, and turned away. I stood there in a daze.
In the following days, Shen Haoxuan's attitude towards me became hot and cold, which made me unpredictable. Sometimes he would take the initiative to chat with me and care about my work and life; sometimes he would ignore me and even avoid me on purpose. I tried hard to figure out what he was thinking, but I could never find the answer.
This emotional fluctuation also affected my work state. During a bodyguard training, Shen Haoxuan personally taught me fighting skills. He stood behind me, held my hand, and corrected my posture. His breath sprayed on my neck, making my heart beat faster and my cheeks hot. I tried to control my emotions, but found that I couldn't concentrate at all.
"Your movements are too stiff," Shen Haoxuan's voice was low and magnetic, "Relax a little and feel my power."
His hand gently touched my waist, and I could not help but move closer to him. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, as well as the faint, comforting fragrance. At that moment, I almost drowned in his tenderness.
However, the next second, he suddenly let me go and his tone became cold. "That's all for today. Go back and practice well."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left the training ground, leaving me standing there alone, my heart filled with confusion and loss.
Misfortunes never come singly. In the afternoon, when I was inspecting the monitoring equipment, I accidentally knocked over a small camera, causing it to malfunction. Although this was not a big problem and could be repaired, Captain Zhao made a big fuss about it and insisted that I pay for it.
"Feng Ziang, do you know how expensive this camera is?" Captain Zhao's voice was full of sarcasm. "Can you afford it, a poor man like you?"
I took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in my heart. "Captain Zhao, I know I was wrong and I will take responsibility. But this camera was only slightly damaged and not completely scrapped. I think it is unreasonable to compensate it at the market price."
"Unreasonable?" Captain Zhao sneered, "What qualifications do you have to say it's unreasonable? You are just a small bodyguard, what qualifications do you have to question my decision?"
His aggressive attitude made me feel extremely humiliated. I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out...
"Captain Zhao, what are you doing?"
I turned around suddenly and saw Shen Haoxuan standing at the door with a gloomy face. His cold eyes swept over me and then fell on Captain Zhao. I had a glimmer of hope in my heart, thinking that he would speak for me, but his next words made me feel like I was falling into an ice cave.
"Captain Zhao, handle it according to the regulations." His tone was emotionless, as if I was just an insignificant stranger.
I felt my heart being tugged at, and an indescribable disappointment surged in my heart. It turned out that in his eyes, I was ultimately just an insignificant existence.
Captain Zhao looked at me proudly, "Did you hear that? Master Shen has spoken, what else do you have to say?" He stretched out his hand, "Here, the money for the filming."
I gritted my teeth and said nothing. I didn't want to bow to him, and I didn't want to admit that I was an incompetent "down and out".
At this time, several young bodyguards stood up. They were my colleagues who usually trained with me. Although we had not been together for a long time, we had already established a certain tacit understanding with each other.
"Captain Zhao," said one of the bodyguards named Xiao Li, "I don't think that this should be blamed entirely on Brother Lin. Equipment damage is normal wear and tear, and Brother Lin is usually very serious about his work. He shouldn't be treated like this."
"Yes, Captain Zhao," another bodyguard named Xiao Zhang also echoed, "Brother Lin has only been here for a few days, and he has discovered several loopholes in the surveillance system. He has made a great contribution to our security work."
