It really is! The two girls looked at each other. Wu Jie's addition was just right. They had never thought of this point.
Wu Jie then gestured on the tablet: "And here, here, both can be optimized. You see, not only are the blind spots in defense completely eliminated, but there's also mutual support. If the enemy wants to attack from here, they won't be able to get through without more than five times the force. I can say that after the optimization, the entire villa will become a meat grinder, and no matter how many come, they will die."
"Hiss~" Yingying took a breath. It was not because she was unfamiliar with the business that she could see how ingenious the changes made by Wu Jie were.
Qian Man was no ordinary rich girl. She had loved reading since she was young and had read many military-related books. How could she not see the finishing touches Wu Jie had made? Wonderful, truly wonderful.
"Mr. Hao, if you are my enemy, I will never let you walk out of this villa alive today." Qian Man's eyes suddenly became sharp. She turned around and faced Wu Jie. She just stood there, tall and straight, without feeling any shame for the threatening words she had said.
When Yingying heard Qian Man's words, her face became serious, and she stood to the side of Wu Jie, with a hint of double-teaming.
The atmosphere instantly returned to freezing point, the harmonious atmosphere vanishing in an instant. The wind blew the curtains, the subtle rustling sound making the room feel a bit chilly, and the confrontation between the several people was uncomfortable.
Wu Jie just stood there, not moving, smiling, staring into Qian Man's eyes.
Time passed minute by minute, ticking away, and the classical wall clock in the corridor emitted a regular sound, making the entire room seem even quieter, and the slightest noise would seem particularly piercing.

…
Wu Jie didn't say anything, and the two women didn't say anything either. They just stood there confronting each other.
Just at this moment, a quick phone call rang.
It turned out to be Qian Man's phone... She didn't shy away from answering the call directly in front of Wu Jie. She clearly had the War Dance system, which allowed her to answer calls directly within the built-in system, but she chose to answer the call in front of Wu Jie. This move was very meaningful...
Wu Jie thought to himself, but did not show any fear. Instead, he waited quietly for Qian Man to answer the call.
"Yes... yes... it's me... you mean..." At this point, Qian Man's eyes moved, and she glanced at Wu Jie, then continued to the other end of the phone: "Are you sure?... Okay... I understand..."
Qian Man put down the phone. Her expression was a little complicated at this moment. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"Yingying, put down your weapon." Qian Man suddenly said.
Yingying was stunned for a moment, then said, "But Miss..."
Qian Man raised her hand, signaling her not to continue. Then she smiled at Wu Jie and said, "Mr. Hao, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Wu Jie also smiled: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
…
After Wu Jie left, Yingying came forward with an incredulous look on her face: "Miss, what happened? Why did you let that guy go?"
Qian Man's gaze was still fixed on the direction Wu Jie had left. She opened her mouth and decided to mention it to Yingying: "He was the person Bingbing recommended to protect me."
"Ah? Miss, why didn't they tell you earlier?" Yingying looked incredulous.
Qian Man shook her head. "I don't know. No matter what the Secret Service arranges, we must be fully prepared. The Secret Service is also very interesting this time. They actually asked us to pay for the security services of Tianyan Company ourselves. This really makes me confused. Is Haotian not a member of the Secret Service? Was he just hired to protect me?"
Yingying said angrily, "I knew those Secret Service guys were unreliable. Not only did they refuse to help, but they even made us pay for security services ourselves. The way I see it, the Secret Service is just sitting back and watching the fight, so they can reap the benefits! And that guy named Hao, his services are ridiculously expensive. He might even split the profits 50-50 with the Secret Service just to get money out of us! It's infuriating!"
Qian Man waved her hand and said, "Don't say that. I know Bingbing very well. She is definitely not that kind of person. There must be some secret. Well, let's not talk about this for now. It's already this late and I'm hungry."
Yingying stuck out her tongue. "Yeah, that guy messed me up so much that I almost forgot it was time for dinner. Hey, I'll go find Aunt Liu to make arrangements and have the meal ready right away."
"Well... let's go..."
Qian Man didn't return to the study until Yingying left, but she had no intention of reading. She kept thinking about the time when Wu Jie appeared and Bingbing's motives and reasons for recommending Wu Jie.
Could it be true, as Yingying said, that the Secret Service wanted to sit back and watch the fight unfold, then reap the benefits? She shook her head. No, you can't assume human nature is so dark. I know Bingbing; she's definitely not that kind of person.
Then there was Wu Jie, whose skills were so formidable that even Zhan Wuji was no match for him. It was hard to imagine what kind of subordinates he would have, and what his security capabilities would be like. These were all unknowns.
She was looking forward to the power of Wu Jie's Sky Eye Security Company, but she was also a little worried that she had spent a lot of money and ended up buying a scam. This conflicting feeling made her feel uneasy.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs again.
"Didn't you go back? Why are you back so soon?" It was Yingying's voice.
What's going on? Qian Man has been frightened enough today, I hope nothing more happens.
She walked out, and as soon as she reached the railing on the second floor, she saw Wu Jie sitting on the sofa in the hall again.
Wu Jie smiled helplessly: "It's raining heavily outside, can you let me take shelter here for a while?"
"Hey, hey, you are the boss of an international security company after all. Don't you have your own car?" Yingying said unhappily. This man must have done it on purpose!
"Yingying, forget it." Qian Man spoke. She didn't expect Wu Jie to turn back halfway. She always felt that this man was not aimless.
"Mr. Hao, we are about to have dinner. How about we have a meal together?" Qian Man was still elegant and calm.
"Ah? Miss, but..." Yingying glared at Wu Jie with an unhappy look on her face.
"Okay, Yingying, go ask Aunt Liu to add one more person's meal." Qian Man's tone left no room for doubt.
"Oh, okay then..." Yingying was reluctant, but she had to obey the eldest lady's orders.
Only Wu Jie remained composed, not the slightest bit embarrassed about cutting in line for dinner. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't go back, but as soon as he left, he immediately noticed something was amiss. There were assassins lurking on the rooftop next door. It looked like there were quite a few of them, including snipers and melee dancers. They were well-prepared...
