The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO
Chapter 548 - 548 547 The Story of Wang Dadong

548: Chapter 547: The Story of Wang Dadong 548: Chapter 547: The Story of Wang Dadong As time passed, fewer and fewer people remained on the sea surface; those who stayed were either very good swimmers or powerful martial artists.

Of course, there were also many lucky individuals who clung to wooden planks and other debris and were fortunate enough to escape disaster.

Wang Dadong had no intention of rescuing others; in the current situation, it was hard enough to save himself.

If he had been on his own, surviving would not have been a difficult task.

After all, as a formidable mercenary, survival in harsh environments was one of his essential skills.

But he was not alone—there was Liu Tong, Xia Yun, and Ye Zi.

Despite Liu Tong and Xia Yun being at the peak of Mortal Realm, such cultivation was barely a match for the vast ocean.

He certainly couldn’t abandon the three women.

Moreover, maintaining the body temperature of the three women also required the use of inner strength, which Wang Dadong had in abundance, but it was not infinite.

This was not a sustainable approach, but fortunately, the mast was thick and long.

Wang Dadong cut it into four sections and fixed them side by side, creating a raft that kept the women out of the water.

Using his inner strength, he dried the women’s clothes; as long as their clothes stayed dry, they wouldn’t feel as cold.

Surviving at sea was very difficult, not just because of a lack of food.

Securing fresh water was an immense challenge, not to mention the various unknown dangers.

However, these were not problems for Wang Dadong.

Without food, he could catch sea fish which contained a large amount of water—water without any salt content.

As for sharks, whales, and other fierce marine creatures, they couldn’t pose a threat to him.

His biggest concern was the variable weather at sea.

It might be the scorching sun one second and a storm the next.

If the makeshift raft were to be broken apart by the storm, and the women were thrown into the sea, even he, with all his capabilities, wouldn’t be able to protect all three at the same time.

Nonetheless, Wang Dadong was determined to do everything in his power to save the lives of the three women.

Surviving just one more day meant a sliver of hope for life.

The first day passed smoothly; the sea was calm, the sun was not too harsh, and the three women chattered non-stop, taking turns to share anecdotes from their lives to pass the time.

“That was shortly after I learned the martial arts from my master, when a few impatient ruffians thought they could bully me, but they ended up getting a good beating from me.”

Wang Dadong remained silent.

Hadn’t it been you who went out looking for trouble with those ruffians?

“There was a time when Jiangdu City had a very skilled thief.

Anything he set his eyes on, there was nothing he couldn’t steal.”

“No matter how good the security systems were of those who got robbed, none were spared, and he could also easily escape from the police traps, earning him the title of ‘Jiangdu’s Number One Thief’.

Do you know how he eventually got caught?”

“How did he get caught?” The junior policewoman looked at Xia Yun with curiosity.

Xia Yun said with a laugh, “That guy once encountered a bottle of fine wine during a heist, was tempted, and drank to his heart’s content.

Resulting in getting drunk, he passed out in the home he was robbing.

When we caught him, the guy even asked me to pour him another glass.

It was just hilarious.”

“What a foolish thief.”

“Ye Zi, it’s your turn.

Do you have any interesting stories?”

“I, I, don’t have any…” Ye Zi clenched her teeth and looked down.

In her line of work, there was nothing fun to tell.

Furthermore, Xia Yun and Liu Tong were both police officers.

In front of them, Ye Zi subconsciously felt scared and even her speech became hesitant; how could she manage to tell any jokes?

“How can that be possible?

Ye Zi, please share, we all did.”

“Right, how else are we going to get through the day?

No phone, no computer, no internet—it’s enough to drive one mad with boredom,” said the junior policewoman with a face full of misery.

Indeed, in this day and age, as long as a person had a phone with battery life and wireless internet, even the most desolate place could feel like home.

But if these three things were gone, it would be even more terrifying than the end of the world.

The two women were relentless and insisted on making Ye Zi tell them about something interesting she had encountered.

“Tong Tong, stop it,” Wang Dadong said.

“Master, where am I causing trouble?

I’m just asking Sister Ye Zi to tell a story,” the young policewoman said, somewhat displeased.

“I’ll tell you one.”

Wang Dadong pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

“Once, when I was in America, I met a woman…”

“Wow, Master, you’ve been abroad!” Before Wang Dadong could continue, the young policewoman interrupted him.

Wang Dadong was immediately covered in metaphorical black lines, “Can you let me finish?”

“Okay, Master…” The young policewoman held her face, pretending to listen intently.

“That time, I was severely injured during a mission and being hunted.

We were both trapped in a basement.

Since I had a weapon of great lethality and the enemy did not know how many people I had, they did not rush in, choosing instead to wait outside, planning to trap me alive to death.

She was terrified, shivering as she watched me.

I told her not to be afraid, that all we needed to do was wait an hour, and my people would come to save me.

But it seemed that the people outside were losing patience, preparing to burst in directly.

At that time, in reality, my gun only had one bullet, and in the basement, there was only me.

If they rushed in, I would surely die.

She asked me if we would really be saved after an hour.

I said, as long as we could last an hour, I could get her out.

She asked again if all the people outside were men.

I said they were.

She nodded her head and told me that she could successfully delay them for an hour.

I was somewhat surprised, as the people outside were all vicious mercenaries; the moment she stepped out, she would be killed instantly.

Let alone an hour, even a minute was impossible.

She smiled at me and said, “Don’t worry, don’t forget my profession is dealing with men.”

Her profession?

I was somewhat puzzled.

She pointed to a corner of the room, where there hung a bunch of very revealing clothes, and I instantly understood her occupation.

I nodded at her.

Seeing my agreement, she was somewhat happy.

However, to her surprise, just as she was about to leave, I pressed the gun to her head and said coldly, “Do you think I don’t know that you want to leave by yourself and then betray me?”

As long as she went out and told those people that I was the only one in the room, they would definitely rush in and kill me immediately.

“I…

I won’t leave by myself,” she said through clenched teeth.

Perhaps it was my only chance to live, and in the end, I chose to trust her.

She went out of the basement alone.

Actually, I didn’t expect her to be able to delay them for an hour.

Then the following sound came from outside, “Since that kid can’t escape anyway, let’s relax for a bit, boys!”
