Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 454 - 453: Boyfriend vs Bodyguard

"Oh, it’s you."

Gu Xiaoqing suddenly realized, this was the star-level agent under her security company, former retired Seal Assault Team member, Ryan.

"Alright, Shaohan, don’t be nervous, he’s here to protect me."

"Protect you?"

Fang Shaohan was taken aback and didn’t quite comprehend.

"That’s right, all these years abroad, Ryan has shielded me from many disasters. He is one of my most valiant subordinates."

Saying this, Gu Xiaoqing turned her head and shouted to Ryan, "With him here to protect me, you don’t need to worry anymore."

"Boss, forgive my bluntness, but this scrawny guy probably won’t be able to fend off the gangsters who are about to come."

Upon hearing this, Fang Shaohan was immediately infuriated. He was famously capable of fighting, and this foreigner in front of him actually looked down on him?

"Hmph, in front of my own woman, there is no man who is inadequate."

Fang Shaohan immediately twisted his neck a little, assuming a fighting stance.

Ryan saw Fang Shaohan’s movements, first asking for instructions from his boss, then also took off his shirt, tossing it aside.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the park, even if they started fighting, no one would see.

Gu Xiaoqing was well aware of Ryan’s strength, but she didn’t stop them. First, because Fang Shaohan wasn’t weak, and second, she understood that if she intervened, it might hurt Fang Shaohan’s pride.

Rather than that, it was better to let the two spar and stop when necessary.

Soon, the two were locked in combat, the sound of muscle collisions echoing in the park.

Fang Shaohan was also fierce, but his fierceness had a touch of finesse, while Ryan was a typical muscular brute, his punches solid, with a strength two levels above Fang Shaohan.

However, Fang Shaohan was excellent at close combat, not only dodging Ryan’s attacks but also counter-attacking.

The two exchanged blows back and forth, leaving Gu Xiaoqing somewhat dazzled and confused.

Until finally, both of them, drenched in sweat, naturally separated.

"I didn’t expect your resilience to be so strong. You might be the only one over all these years, besides my sister-in-law, who could suppress me in terms of strength."

Fang Shaohan took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing, as he spoke.

Gu Xiaoqing was equally shocked, never imagining that Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law could be even stronger than him?!

Immediately, the neat and swift female rogue in Gu Xiaoqing’s impression transformed into a capable and powerful woman.

She deeply understood the enormous price a woman must pay to accomplish what many men could not.

Despite Gu Xiaoqing having changed so much in just two years, her heart was more determined than before, equally ruthless, with more and more unpredictable methods.

This affair with Dean Zhou was an example. Originally, those policemen arranged by Mr. Hu were for the self-directed kidnapping drama orchestrated by Gu Xiaoqing herself.

Because under the pressure of New Horizon, the police would definitely investigate the conflict between Dean Zhou and Gu Xiaoqing first, and then Dean Zhou would be questioned.

Moreover, Gu Xiaoqing would have those dirty deeds of Dean Zhou exposed opportunistically. In the end, Gu Xiaoqing would heroically escape, benefiting both herself and the police, leaving only Dean Zhou with a ruined reputation.

Unexpectedly for Gu Xiaoqing, Dean Zhou had also hired people to disrupt the scene, since in her impression, the scholarly Dean Zhou didn’t like such violent things.

It seemed Dean Zhou had also lost his mind.

However, because of this, it could also be seen that Gu Xiaoqing had unconsciously changed a lot.

It was because of this, that Gu Xiaoqing had a vague desire to truly have a showdown with Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law.

Just like men proving their worth with fists, women also needed to define victory and defeat.

Revenge...

The genuine desire for revenge in Gu Xiaoqing’s heart had also gradually faded to some extent.

No matter what, whether revenge or determining a winner, the result was the same.

"Your sister-in-law? A woman? Impossible!"

Ryan was equally impressed with Fang Shaohan, never expecting a random police squad captain in the country to have such skills, managing to draw with him.

However, Fang Shaohan’s words made Ryan incredulous; how could a woman possibly be stronger than a man?!

"Judging by the scars on your body, you’ve got quite a backstory too, right?"

"Former Seal Assault Team member, retired and now a security consultant at Miss Gu’s company," Ryan self-introduced.

"Then you should have heard of Blood Rose, right?"

Fang Shaohan said slowly.

"Blood Rose?"

Ryan’s face changed dramatically: "Eastern Blood Rose? She’s your sister-in-law?"

No wonder Fang Shaohan said he wasn’t even a match for his sister-in-law; that person was a lone wolf active on battlefields worldwide, a female lone wolf.

Of course, those who set their sights on her were basically dead, and those who weren’t left with half a life, never daring to mention this woman again.

The only data available suggested Eastern Blood Rose possibly hailed from the East, was Chinese, and potentially served the nation.

Therefore, Blood Rose’s resources were enormous, supporting her in traversing battlefields worldwide, with a national-level intelligence network serving her.

"I don’t believe it..."

Ryan couldn’t believe such vital information could be obtained like this.

"No matter, you won’t find it out anyway."

Fang Shaohan waved his hand, smiling slightly. He knew in terms of endurance battles, he might not necessarily be a match for Ryan.

Perhaps three years later, Ryan would no longer be his opponent.

Gu Xiaoqing understood, although Fang Shaohan was speaking to Ryan, in fact, he was telling her about what kind of person his sister-in-law was.

Because even if Ryan believed it and thoroughly investigated, Fang Shaohan didn’t actually have a sister-in-law.

All domestic files and confidential documents were devoid of this information. This had risen to another level of confidentiality concerns.

"Alright, I admit your strength is robust, but I have the advantage of youth, and three years from now, you will surely not be my match."

Fang Shaohan asserted confidently.

This point Ryan had to concede as well, for people inevitably age.

"So, tell me about the gangsters you mentioned. What’s going on? Are they targeting Xiaoqing?"

Ryan nodded and said, "After Miss Gu returned to the United States, the underground market offered a high price of five million US dollars for her head. With the growing call for Hong Kong’s return, many Hong Kong businessmen and gangs plan to enter the mainland. This group is inextricably linked to the Hongdao Group. Their sole purpose is to kidnap Miss Gu back to Hong Kong."

"Hongdao Group?!"

Gu Xiaoqing suddenly realized, knowing that this day would eventually come.

Back then, when Xiao Wu contacted the local gangsters to kidnap Gu Ruhai, the ransom for the second time went up to $500,000, which was precisely to force her to transfer the newly acquired Wang Xiaoji.

Moreover, as soon as she contacted a lawyer, someone immediately offered to buy it in full, willing to pay all in one go.

That businessman was a Hong Kong businessman.
