Can't Take My Eyes Off You

The security guards were stunned for two seconds. Then, they surrounded Chen Xuyao and the other two men. However, they retreated just as quickly. It was strange; they only defended and did not attack the men. Those that Chen Xuyao attacked would rather take a beating than fight back. However, the guards who blocked Big Ke's path tried their best to fight back against the man.

Jiang Yao sat in the car as she took out her phone and looked at the time.

It was 10:35 in the morning. She knew that it would take a few minutes for the Chai family members to show up and then invite Chen Xuyao into the residence.

Yes, they would invite him into their home politely.

Jiang Yao was sure that those security guards knew Chen Xuyao. The Chai family members must have given them special instructions. They knew that Chen Xuyao would come, so they told the guards not to attack him.

She thought that the guards had wanted to stall for time; it was not like they wanted to stop Chen Xuyao from entering the compound.

Therefore, Jiang Yao thought that it was strange. Chen Xuyao had only arrived the previous night. Even if the Chai family noticed that the man was there to look for her, why would they be so apprehensive about him? Was it because they knew Chen Xuyao's identity? How did they do that in such a short period?

Did Chen Xuyao's arrival in Yuan City attract the Chai family's attention? Was that why they took Zhou Xiaocheng and her parents that morning?

Jiang Yao glimpsed at Chen Xuyao as she looked at her phone. She knew that the man had noticed the guards' strange attitude—they did not fight back; they were only there to keep him outside. Even if he beat them black and blue, they would not return a single hand.

However, Chen Xuyao's skills were from the military academy. Those guards could not keep him back for long; the man had breached a few meters nearer to the main gate. The security guards inside the tightly shut compound looked at the situation nervously.

Chen Xuyao was so angry that he wanted to shoot all of them. No matter what he did, his opponents would only endure it; they did not fight back. His temper was almost worn after a few minutes.

Ah Lu and Big Ke also noticed the strange situation. The two of them looked at each other and quickly changed their tactics. They rushed to Chen Xuyao's side and used the man as cover. Ah Lu promptly climbed over the wall and entered the compound. Then, it was Big Ke's turn to act as cover so that Chen Xuyao could enter the mansion. After Chen Xuyao managed to do that, Big Ke simply stood there and did not move a muscle. Then, he retreated to Jiang Yao in their vehicle.

Big Ke was afraid that the guards would attack Jiang Yao after Chen Xuyao and Ah Lu entered the residence. Perhaps they thought it would be easier to deal with a woman. So, Big Ke decided to return to Jiang Yao. Those people would not be able to do anything to Ah Lu and Chen Xuyao since they had already entered the mansion. The guards also did not chase after Big Ke after he had left.

Big Ke returned to the car and caught Jiang Yao looking at the time on her phone. He asked, "Director Jiang, are you waiting for something?"

Jiang Yao smiled at Big Ke. Then, she put her phone back into her pocket and placed her hands in the same pockets to keep warm. "I was waiting for someone to come out and invite Chen Xuyao into the residence. Now, I'm waiting for them to send him out courteously."
