Chapter 140: As Your Senior, I Can Give You A Few Pointers (Part one)

Shen Wansan was dumbfounded for a while until he furiously coughed and said, “Even if he’s the tiger of the police force, he’s just a little team captain! He definitely has an ulterior motive by approaching my daughter! He’s not someone with power nor money, and my daughter lacks anything but money. I can clearly see his intentions.”

Then, he looked at his driver and asked, “Didn’t you say you were a guardian-class soldier before you retired? So can you beat Xu Cheng?”

The driver also had his pride. Hearing his boss say that, he immediately sneered, “Boss, you comparing me to him is already an insult to me.”

“Oh?” Shen Wansan couldn’t help but look at him again with a tiny bit more respect. “Speaking of it, I hired you to be my driver and bodyguard for these years but never got to see your true power. On a normal day, you seem to be able to easily handle some thugs or bullys, but I don’t think that’s your limit, right?”

The driver raised 4 fingers and said with pride written all over his face, “40%. Normally, I never use more than 40% of my power. Boss, you might not be familiar with the concept of guardian-class soldiers. Every 5 years, the officials would pick out the best soldier from the 36 military regions around the country. Those 36 soldiers will become guardians to closely follow and protect country officials at Jing City. These 36 people were carefully selected from their military region, and they are a lot more powerful than an average special forces soldier. More powerful in what aspect? In all aspects of individual combat abilities. This also means, you are very lucky to have found me. I’m not boasting, but I’m one of the 36 that were picked.”

Shen Wansan looked at him boasting and said, “Tsk tsk, you saying all that, are you asking for a raise? Since there are 36 guardians, then among those 36, what rank are you?”

The driver very proudly answered, “I’m within the top 10.”

Shen Wansan looked at him and asked, “You haven’t exchanged moves with Xu Cheng before, how do you know he’s not your opponent?”

“Is there even a need? Boss, you don’t know this, but all guardian-class soldiers have to be at least masters at the A-level. Although my level might’ve slipped a bit due to the lack of high-intensity training over the past few years, not just anyone can be compared with me. I do think Xu Cheng’s pretty good, but in comparison to my assessment of that old man of North Gate, I think Xu Cheng’s at most a B-level fighter. To deal with him, I’m still 80% confident that I can win.”

Shen Wansan nodded. “If that’s the case, go spar with him later. Teach him that it’s best for people of the younger generation to stay humble.”

The driver nodded. “Okay. But Boss, he’s Young Madam’s guest, wouldn’t it be a bit over the line? Young Madam also said that if we don’t treat her guests well these days, she will run away from home again.”

Shen Wansan glared at the driver. “Do you think I still don’t know my daughter? Right now, I’m her only family and she’s also my only family, you think she would have the heart to abandon me? She’s just bluffing. Besides, I’m not telling you to beat that guy up. I just need you to teach him that there are stronger fighters than him in the world and to be humble. You didn’t see how he looked at me when I came in, it definitely wasn’t the kind of respectful attitude a youngster should have towards someone older. This Xu Cheng has no background nor money, so he must be really arrogant because of his fighting abilities. Then let’s just beat him first to tone his arrogance down a notch.”

Upstairs, after checking out the room, Ran Jing shuffled to Xu Cheng’s side and whispered, “Did you offend Boss Shen?”

Xu Cheng said with a wry smile, “As long as a there is a guy beside his daughter, I think he won’t show a good face. How do I deal with him when he already sees me as someone courting his daughter with ulterior motives before I could open my mouth?”

Then, the two of them followed Shen Yao down the stairs. It was still early so it wouldn’t be polite if they didn’t talk with the head of the household, Shen Wansan. Shen Yao came downstairs and introduced the new arrival to her dad, “Dad, this is also my good friend, Ran Jing. She works at the police HQ.”

“We got to talk earlier.” Shen Wansan was still quite friendly to Ran Jing, since she was a friend of the same gender as Shen Yao and was very accomplished. Besides, Ran Jing was also very polite.

However, Shen Wansan didn’t look too friendly, or was he even willing to look at him, when he saw Xu Cheng at his house.

“Have a seat, Xu Cheng. Don’t mind my dad.” Shen Yao dragged Xu Cheng down to sit on the sofa.

Just then, Shen Wansan pretended to lift up the tea cup to take a sip, as he passed a secret look to his driver.

After receiving the signal, the driver coughed, and then he casually asked, “Mr. Xu Cheng, are you from the military?”

Xu Cheng looked at the driver and nodded. “Yeah, and speaking of it, you are technically my senior.”

The driver narrowed his eyes. “How did you know I also came from the military?”

Xu Cheng smiled. “Your posture when standing. Only soldiers have that kind of strict self-discipline, and you being able to stick to that iron-like discipline means you are not from a simple unit.”

Shen Wansan and his driver exchanged a look. They had to admit, Xu Cheng was quite the keen observer.

The driver laughed and said, “I am indeed from the military, but I can’t say I’m from a high ranking unit. But you, you definitely have a bright future ahead of you. However, I’m quite curious, with your power and age, you shouldn’t be retiring at this time. Why did you decide to leave the military and take a job here?”

Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. “I didn’t retire, but something happened so I’m temporarily taking a few months off to work here as a police officer. I will still be going back in the future.”

The driver sighed, “I don’t know how the military regions are doing nowadays since I retired long ago. I don’t know if the new recruits have been improving every year or getting worse and worse. But I heard that last year at the G20 Meeting’s Special Forces Competition, our country fell behind again. I’m quite worried, the new recruits seemed to be quite spoiled.”

Shen Wansan coughed and said, “Isn’t there a new recruit right before you? Seeing how Xu Cheng could see through Wen Zhao’s identity, it means he’s not a simple character too. Also, we heard that you also took down North Gate’s boss, and I actually am curious to see your abilities. Truth be told, ever since I recruited my driver, who’s also my bodyguard, I’ve never really seen his true power before. Since I’m usually very low key and don’t make enemies often, I naturally have less trouble. It’s a shame that my bodyguard has had too few opportunities to hone his abilities.”

Upon hearing this, the clever Shen Yao immediately snorted and interrupted, “Dad, what are you planning to do again?”

Ran Jing laughed and looked at Xu Cheng oddly. Her expression seemed to be saying, “Look, he’s looking for trouble now.”

Xu Cheng naturally understood the message in Ran Jing’s look. He faintly smiled. “I got lucky in the fight against Gate Master Yan. You are a senior brother to me, it wouldn’t be respectful if I fight you.”

Wen Zhao laughed. “We are real men, let’s be more real. According to the rules in the military, you are down to spar for a few rounds, right? I heard that you recently offended West Gate as well, and always hiding here from trouble can’t be the long-term solution. As your senior from the military, maybe I can give you a few pointers.”
