For the safety of her own life and the company's security.
After the head of the security department, Wang Kai, left her office, Liu Bingxue recounted the recent events at the company, important projects discussed, and what had happened to her personally, including her encounter with some ruffians at a bar and being rescued by Chu Lingtian. She told everything to the two police officers.
However, when it came to the part about going to a hotel room with Chu Lingtian, she still refrained from mentioning the details.
Firstly, her personality was not as open and flirtatious as her younger sister, Liu Huohuo.
Secondly, she felt that whether or not she mentioned sleeping in a hotel room with Chu Lingtian had little to do with the assailant's attack.
"Ms. Liu, that will be all for now. We will rigorously interrogate the assailant who attempted to attack you. If you recall any further clues, please contact us immediately," the female police officer said, standing up and looking at Liu Bingxue.
Liu Bingxue also stood up and replied gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work."
She personally escorted the two police officers to the elevator and watched them leave. Afterward, Liu Bingxue returned to her CEO office with Wang Kai, the head of security, and her female secretary, Qin Li.
"Xiao Li, immediately retrieve all the surveillance footage from the underground parking lot for today and show it to me."
"Wang Kai, your security department is to strengthen patrols starting now. It's best to work in pairs, patrolling the company premises twenty-four hours a day. Any suspicious situation must be reported immediately."
"Furthermore, regarding the intrusion of an assailant into the company, notify the employees who are already aware of the situation. They are not to discuss it or inform others, otherwise, they will be directly fired."
Liu Bingxue issued commands to Wang Kai and Qin Li with her cold and authoritative demeanor.
Besides investigating who wanted to harm her, she also needed to find out who had secretly saved her. But what was most important now was to prevent the assailant's attack from causing any negative repercussions within and outside the company.
If news of the assailant's attack spread, it would not only cause panic and speculation among employees but also make other companies concerned about the safety of cooperating with Bao Xue Company.
Qin Li quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll go retrieve the other surveillance videos now."
After Qin Li left, Wang Kai looked at Liu Bingxue and suggested, "Ms. Liu, I believe your personal safety is paramount, as the assailant was targeting you. Therefore, we must assign someone to protect you specifically."
"Tell me your thoughts."
Liu Bingxue nodded.
"Until we ascertain the assailant's origin and bring the person who intended to harm you to justice, you must have dedicated personnel protecting you. At home, your residential area has security, making it difficult for the assailant to succeed. At the company, we will now enhance patrols, making it equally difficult for the assailant. This leaves your commute, or when you travel to other locations, as the most dangerous periods. I suggest assigning a highly skilled security guard to act as your dedicated driver during this time, escorting you to and from work and all your activities outside the company."
Wang Kai analyzed the situation as he presented his suggestion.
Liu Bingxue nodded and said, "Alright, you handle this. The person selected will have their salary doubled for acting as your dedicated driver during this period."
"Yes!"
Wang Kai nodded in agreement and also turned to leave Liu Bingxue's CEO office.
A moment later, Qin Li returned to the office with a USB drive containing the copied surveillance footage.
Liu Bingxue and Qin Li watched the entire underground parking lot surveillance footage from midnight until the present on the television.
"Chu Lingtian?"
When Liu Bingxue saw herself exiting the car, carrying her laptop bag and heading towards the elevator, and then Chu Lingtian appeared not far away, she couldn't help but frown.
Qin Li quietly asked, "Ms. Liu, what's wrong?"
"Immediately summon Chu Lingtian to my office!" Liu Bingxue said coldly, as the surveillance footage was replaying the previously watched scene.
"Mm."
Qin Li nodded and walked to the side to make a phone call.
At this moment, Chu Lingtian, who was playing a game on his phone in the security guard post in the underground parking lot, received a call from Qin Li, telling him that Ms. Liu wanted him to go to her office immediately.
Before Chu Lingtian could say anything, the call was disconnected by Qin Li.
"Gangzi, you guard here alone for a while. Secretary Qin called and asked me to go to Ms. Liu's office." Chu Lingtian stood up from his chair and said.
Wang Dagang asked in surprise, "Why would Ms. Liu call you to her office? As far as I know, Ms. Liu has never summoned any of us security guards to her office in all these years."
"I don't know." Chu Lingtian shook his head, wondering if Liu Bingxue had discovered from some subtle clue that it was him who had rescued her.
Upon returning to the city this time, Chu Lingtian was on a secret mission and also intended to continue investigating the family's arson case. His powerful combat abilities and influential status could not be easily exposed.
Knock, knock, knock.
Chu Lingtian knocked on the door of Liu Bingxue's office.
Qin Li opened the door.
The beautiful female secretary glanced at Chu Lingtian and then left.
"Are you unable to eat or sleep properly if you don't see me every day?" Chu Lingtian said teasingly as he closed the door and walked up to Liu Bingxue.
"You scoundrel, this is the company, behave yourself!" Liu Bingxue glared at Chu Lingtian with anger in her beautiful eyes, then asked, "Do you know about the assailant who tried to attack me?"
"I do." Chu Lingtian nodded.
"I've watched the surveillance video from the underground parking lot. When the assailant tried to attack me near the elevator, you were also in the vicinity. Did you notice anything unusual?" Liu Bingxue continued to ask.
"No." Chu Lingtian shook his head.
Liu Bingxue pressed, "Really, nothing?"
"Really nothing. Could you possibly suspect that I saved you?" Chu Lingtian asked with a light, taunting smile.
Liu Bingxue said coldly, "I didn't think that. Because I saw your skills when you fended off those hooligans who were harassing me at the bar before, and you were only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. The assailant who attacked me dared to use a gun, and according to the police description, this assailant is very skilled. I am certain you couldn't have defeated him."
"Then why did you summon me to your office?" Chu Lingtian asked impatiently.
"Two things. First, to ask if you discovered any suspicious clues regarding the assailant. Second, why, when you clearly saw me, you didn't say hello?" Liu Bingxue questioned.
Chu Lingtian retorted, "That's a bit laughable. Do I have to say hello every time I see you? Or is greeting the CEO a company regulation?"
Liu Bingxue's voluptuous chest heaved with anger, and her body trembled. Just as she was about to lash out, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was from her sister, Liu Huohuo.
Liu Huohuo rarely called her, so Liu Bingxue thought it might be an urgent matter. She decided to deal with Chu Lingtian later and pressed the call button to answer.
"Hello." Liu Bingxue pressed the call button on her phone and said.
Liu Huohuo's very anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sis, quickly give me Chu Lingtian's phone number. I have an extremely urgent matter to find him about."
