Chapter 36: Taking part in a dangerous operation (Second)
The people within the conference room were many–Wang Chao counted at least a hundred people, leaving him at a loss at what to do. However, Wang Chao had managed to master his emotions and nodded his head with a smile before turning to look at Cao Yi calmly.
When Cao Yi saw Wang Chao enter, he stopped his speech for a moment before waving Wang Chao over, “This person is the Taekwondo dojo top-notch instructor, Wang Chao. For this mission, we will be having him protect the news reporter, does anyone have any objections?”
Immediately after Cao Yi had spoken, an outrage had broken out, especially from the news reporter Zhu Jia and the male interviewer.
But a few of the men looked past Wang Chao and towards the two SWAT members behind him.
The two SWAT members slowly nodded their heads as if silently communicating the fact that they had already tested Wang Chao.
Without a doubt, this was the result from when they shook hands with Wang Chao to test his strength.
Even with Wang Chao being a top level instructor for the Taekwondo dojo, his age had made many people doubt him as a person who would not have what it takes to kill.
“Is this why Cao Yi introduced me as an instructor, to help me? If he had said I was a recently graduated high schooler, then there would be absolutely no person here willing to believe me.”
It was about now that Wang Chao had realized why he was introduced to be an instructor.
“There is no such thing as a free lunch. Cao Yi is a very calculative person, but I’d best be careful not to fall into any traps and avoid any difficulties. If I can exploit any connections and earn some money, then that’ll be enough for me.”
“Alright, all of the concrete details are out of the way now.” After the introduction of Wang Chao, Cao Yi took a look at the watch on his wrist with a serious look. “Everyone, get into your assigned vehicle. In two hours, we will gather at the front and depart at once!”
“Crash!” In a single wave of sound, everyone stood up and began to walk out of the room.
“Chief Cao, is he really going to be our bodyguard?” After everyone had left, Zhu Jia came up to him.
Tonight, Zhu Jia was wearing a black business suit that emphasized her S shaped curve and beautiful face. With this combination, her beauty had been magnified, giving her the mature charm of a business lady.
Looking at Wang Chao, Zhu Jia swiveled the microphone in her hand for a moment before handing it over to the male reporter behind her. Then, with a clap of her hands, she began to ask Cao Yi several more questions in skepticism.
Although the two had met before, Zhu Jia had only been a small time reporter, and Wang Chao was nothing more than a wretched high schooler with a bad temperament. There was no way for her to remember him.
“Dear reporter, please do not doubt my insight.” Rapping at the conference table in front of him, he looked at Wang Chao with a raised eyebrow. “The reporter here doesn’t believe in you, demonstrate your ability.”
“My martial arts is for an enemy, not a performance.” Wang Chao raised his eyebrows at Cao Yi’s request before looking around the room for a moment. At the same time, he drew close to Cao Yi and whispered so that no one else could hear him, “My martial arts isn’t at the Hidden Jin stage yet, fighting people would be fine, but for anything else, it’d be useless. Plus, when I was learning martial arts, I didn’t learn how to put on a performance. Are you trying to sabotage me?”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Cao Yi hissed back before replying, “No matter, it would be best if you tried to demonstrate. Zhu Jia’s father is the deputy secretary of the capital’s committee. Not only that, but he is in charge of cultural and online affairs. Her uncle is also the municipal committee’s secretary. Think about it, if you get to know her, what benefits would this bring you?”
“Wa, Zhu Tianliang is her uncle?” Even Wang Chao had known just who the municipal committee’s secretary was.
“So you say!” Cao Yi snorted, “With such a major operation like this, do you not think it is strange for the public safety bureau to have a reporter following us like this? To be honest, even if it was a reporter from China Central Television, I’d drive them all away! We don’t even have enough manpower, so where would we even begin to find any police officer to protect a news reporter?!”
“What’s more, this is an extremely major piece of information. If Zhu Jia succeeds to broadcast the news, then this would give the province’s television station even more power. If you help her, imagine what benefit that would bring.”
The two had spoken very quickly, but Wang Chao’s understanding of the topic had been even faster. Speaking out loud, his tone had changed, “Although I won’t demonstrate, since there’s not anyone around and at the insistence of my friend chief Cao, allow me to go through one of the stances.”
