Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Protecting You Completely

"Rest assured," He Xing’s gaze settled on the distance, where Fu Han had just left, his deep voice filled with unwavering confidence, "The bodyguards I’ve arranged for Fu Han are ex-mercenaries, and they will definitely ensure her safety."

"That’s good to hear," the He family patriarch waved his hand dismissively, and closed his eyes to bask in the sun once more, without giving He Xing another glance.

The Lamborghini roared to life, taking off like an arrow released from a bow, impatient as a star chasing the moon.

Even after He Xing had passed through the lower gatehouse, he had not caught up with Fu Han.

He mused that the two minutes he had spent speaking with his grandfather were apparently long enough for Fu Han to have vanished from view, suggesting he had underestimated her driving skills.

After some thought, He Xing took out his phone and made a call, "Hello, have you caught up with Fu Han?"

"I’m on her tail," came a voice as grinding as a millstone.

He Xing smiled, but there was not a trace of warmth in that smile—instead, it was filled with chill, "Good, ensure her safety at all costs."

After receiving an affirmative response, He Xing hung up and the Lamborghini accelerated once again, heading to the left, whereas Fu Han had taken the road to the right.

With so many incidents occurring recently, and considering that some had targeted the He family patriarch, Fu Han might well be imperiled, especially since she had been kidnapped by Xia Cheng and Xia Ning before. He Xing couldn’t be too careful.

He had hired six ex-mercenaries, four to protect the He family patriarch—two in plain sight and two hidden. The remaining two were assigned to guard Fu Han.

It wasn’t that He Xing favored one over the other, but Fu Han had always disliked having bodyguards since she was young, so he had no choice but to employ bodyguards covertly. In this case, two would suffice, as four would be more likely to give them away.

Knowing Fu Han’s temperament, she would surely be angry if she discovered He Xing had hired bodyguards in secret, despite having agreed not to.

He Xing parked his car smoothly in front of the He Group’s skyscraper. Stepping out, he tossed the car keys to the security guard, who promptly proceeded to park it for him.

Today, Liang Tao had been waiting for He Xing on the first floor. Spotting him, Liang Tao immediately approached, "President He, the Huangpu young master has arrived and is waiting in the meeting room. He says he has business with you."

"The Huangpu young master?" He Xing took several seconds to realize Liang Tao was referring to Su Cheng, then he regarded Liang Tao coolly, "What does Su Cheng want? Did he say?"

"He didn’t say," Liang Tao felt a chill run through him under He Xing’s gaze, and hurriedly spoke with his head bowed as he followed, "Young Master Su Cheng only mentioned he had crucial matters to discuss with you personally."

The last time He Xing saw Su Cheng was in M Country, where he made a pact with Su Cheng—a promise not to interfere with Huangpu Group’s affairs, and in return, Su Cheng wouldn’t harbor any untoward thoughts towards Fu Han.

As for Su Cheng’s adherence to that promise, He Xing wasn’t sure; according to the information he received, Su Cheng had left M Country the same day as him, just that one left in the morning and the other at night.

He Xing pondered but still couldn’t understand why Su Cheng had come to him.

The Huangpu Group now resembled a tree swaying in a storm, with any blow potentially bringing it crashing down.

Recently, several small to medium-sized businesses approached He Group, seeking to ally with them to take down Huangpu Group, all rejected by He Xing.

There were two reasons: first, he had given his word to Su Cheng not to interfere with Huangpu affairs; second, his principles precluded him from kicking someone when they were down. He Group had always advanced steadily, not by cutting corners—if that were the case, He Group would’ve been toppled long ago.

With these doubts in mind, He Xing entered his office. As he took out his computer from his briefcase, he instructed, "Go invite Su Cheng to my office."

A few minutes later, Su Cheng arrived, impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, his shoes shiny enough to serve as mirrors, and his hair neatly combed to a glint, appearing exceedingly spirited and very... mature.

It had only been a few days, but to He Xing, Su Cheng seemed a completely different person, so changed that He Xing almost doubted his eyes.

Meanwhile, Su Cheng appeared entirely at ease, greeting him graciously, "President He, hello, and thank you for the opportunity to meet."

Su Cheng’s courtesy made the usually astute He Xing feel somewhat abashed. Clearing his throat twice, he regained composure, "Hello, Su Cheng. What business do you have with me?"

"I’ve come to propose a business deal." Su Cheng was direct, to the point, "You’re probably aware that Huangpu Group’s current situation is not optimistic. We must do something to change our circumstances, so I’m looking to cooperate with you, leveraging He Group’s strength to weather this crisis for Huangpu Group."

He Xing was once again surprised; he truly hadn’t expected Su Cheng to be so forthright about his intentions.

Usually, when someone approached He Xing to discuss a partnership, they would beat around the bush, praising He Group, and their own company for no less than half an hour before getting to the point.

Although his face didn’t show it, He Xing was curious about how Su Cheng would persuade him.

With this in mind, he told Liang Tao, "Go make two cups of coffee."

Then, He Xing got up and settled himself on the single-seat couch opposite Su Cheng. He looked Su Cheng up and down before speaking evenly, "In business, the least desirable thing is personal emotion. Let’s talk business. If you want to cooperate, lay out your terms and requirements for me to see if there’s any possibility of collaboration."

Su Cheng smiled, no longer the untainted, pure smile of his past, but rather a polite, aggressive one, "I’ve heard that some products under your He Group lack patents and have always depended on procurement; fortunately, Huangpu Group has some patents that we could offer you at a discount."

"How do you know my suppliers won’t offer me a discount?" He Xing’s smile was but a brief twitch at the corners of his mouth, hardly reaching his eyes, "Besides, even if my suppliers don’t offer discounts, the price would surely be the normal market rate. Additionally, my suppliers have long-standing relationships with me, able to prioritize and supply me with goods on demand."

"I can guarantee all of that," Su Cheng leaned back slightly in his seat, his posture like a sword ready to spring from its scabbard, "I can also offer you something extra, such as a mole in your company."
