Chapter 619: Barking Orders

Book Chapter 619: You’re Barking Like a Dog! Group> By? Lin Fa Self What (Update 2)

The Guofeng Building is truly massive—with twelve floors all part of the company’s portfolio.

It doesn’t just handle services such as gatekeeping, security, patrol, escort, and personal bodyguards.

Highlight: They also offer ‘crowd control’ and ‘technical defense’ services.

Anyone in the know should understand exactly what those two services imply …

As Xiao Yu stepped into the Guofeng Building hall, he was met with a sea of security guards, packed tightly together as heads swarmed about.

Does he think he can mess with your father and son without consequence? Xiao Yu felt deeply offended.

A head of security stepped forward from the crowd, his face set in a cold glare as he barked, “What do you do? Do you even know where you are …?”

Bang!

A gunshot shattered his words.

After the warning shot, Wang Dong re-holstered his sidearm.

Immediately after, the action continued.

Members of Group Nine raised their assault rifles, disengaged the safeties, and aimed them at the unruly crowd.

Three counts.

Xiao Yu raised his hand, extending three fingers. “I’ll count to three. If I see any of you not down—if you’re still standing in front of me—I will, under the National Security Act on violent resistance, label you a threat to national security and mark you as a target for lethal force… One… Two…”

Scramble!

Countless people dropped to the ground in panic. 583

Due to the cramped space, there was no room to lie flat.

Many ended up sprawling over one another.

That’s what you get when a burly crowd ends up in a mess like this.

Before Xiao Yu could finish counting, among hundreds of guards only the trembling, pale-faced head of security remained standing.

“Three,” Xiao Yu calmly declared.

Bang!

Wang Dong raised his hand and squeezed the trigger of his pistol.

The head of security was struck between the brows and collapsed to the floor.

“Did you think I was joking?”

Xiao Yu glared coldly at the head of security—alive one moment, lifeless the next—”Watch yourself in the next life!”

Many of the guards on the ground were so shocked they nearly wet themselves.

It was easy to imagine the fate that awaited them had they remained standing.

As he made his way through the guard crowd, Xiao Yu mused to himself.

It felt like my reputation was about to rival the Big Boss’s heyday.

A single word, a glance—watching my subordinates charge into battle was strangely immersive …

Wait, no—Xiao Yu snapped back to reality.

After all, power can be deadly for a man.

A man can’t live a day without money or authority.

And when he has both, even women can’t ignore their importance.

Soon enough, his very nature would undergo a transformation.

But what does that have to do with me? … Xiao Yu smirked.

Who has time for petty scheming?

With a loving wife, children, and a warm bed, one can live a carefree life.

Isn’t that the sweet life?

Shaking off his stray thoughts, his heart steadied despite the lure of power.

“What’s on your mind?”

Following close behind, Zhou Lie joked, “How’s that Big Boss experience working out?”

That guilty feeling of being caught in an affair … Xiao Yu muttered under his breath, “That chair’s not an easy one to sit in—I plan on living a few more years.”

Those words were laced with a lifetime of hardships—a man with a story. Wang Dong and Zhou Lie exchanged looks and chuckled silently.

Floor Twelve: The Guofeng General Manager’s Office.

As the door swung open, a sharply dressed man in a suit sat inside.

In his thirties and exuding charm, he looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled, icy expression.

“You’re the General Manager of Guofeng?”

Xiao Yu met his gaze. “Did you arrange the guards downstairs?”

The man sneered, “Have you considered the consequences?”

“It’s just a dog. Why are you barking like a dog?” Xiao Yu asked coolly.

“You…”

The man’s normally ashen face instantly flushed crimson with humiliation and anger, his jaw muscles tensing in rage.

It might not hurt much, but the insult was severe!

But that was the reality.

To put it nicely, the man was nothing more than a ‘lapdog.’

To be blunt, he was a servant dog—

trained to guard his master’s home and estate!

“I’m not interested in dogfighting.”

With a dismissive look, Xiao Yu said, “Tell me, where is the Anxiety Formula?”

The man was suddenly taken aback.

He probably hadn’t expected Xiao Yu to be so direct, and for a moment he was stunned.

But in the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply.

Despite his calm expression, his taut facial muscles betrayed his inner turmoil.

With a long exhale, Xiao Yu relaxed completely.

Within National Security, six high-profile individuals were detained.

They had just shot and killed another suspect.

Team Two and Group Nine had mobilized, deploying the Armed Police to encircle the area.

This was the Capital City, after all—do you know the pressure that came with it?

National Security wielded tremendous power.

Because of that power, they could bypass certain rules—a fact that made detective work prone to errors.

If nothing turned up in the end …

Xiao Yu’s future as a National Security team leader would be wiped out—and he might not even need to police anymore.

Of course, that was just standard procedure.

With someone like Xiao Yu, backed by two major factions and strong support …

and a host of achievements and honors to his name,

making a move over a minor slip-up was simply out of the question.

Unless some higher Big Boss decided everyone else was expendable.

“What are you saying?”

The man sneered, “I don’t understand…”

Smack!

A heavy slap landed squarely on the man’s face.

This was exactly the kind of work Wang Dong excelled at nowadays.

He had already assumed the role of Xiao Yu’s top enforcer.

If Zhou Lie had made a move, the man would have been a corpse.

What exactly was Xiao Yu’s status now?

The Big Boss Experience Card—he was essentially a Big Boss.

Facing such pretentious behavior, Xiao Yu personally stepping in would be too humiliating.

The man, slapped and sprawled on the ground with blood trickling from his mouth, glared venomously at Xiao Yu.

“I do admire a man with some backbone.”

Xiao Yu crouched down, fixed his gaze on the man, and raised his hand.

Zhou Lie took out his sidearm, disengaged the safety, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

The man’s expression changed, his face showing sheer astonishment.

Aren’t you supposed to be National Security?

Why aren’t you following protocol?

“Tell me, where is the Anxiety Formula?”

Xiao Yu pressed his pistol against the man’s leg.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about…”

Cold sweat broke out on the man’s brow as he faltered.

Bang!

“Ah!”

A blood-curdling scream erupted from the man.

But in the next moment, the scream abruptly ceased.

The still-warm muzzle of the pistol pressed against his forehead.

“I never ask a question for the third time.”

Xiao Yu smiled, “Are you sure you won’t talk?”
