The Bodyguard System

"Thank you so much for your assistance. Had it not been that you had been present, it would have been difficult to be able to deal with this group of gangsters." Christine came over to where Jaden was and thanked him sincerely.

She understood that if Jaden did not take action, this group of gangsters would be troublesome. Of course, she completely forgot about the fact that she had asked Scarlet to come over to assist her. So, even if Jaden did not take action, Scarlet would have done so, even though she would not have been able to easily handle them.

Scarlet who was standing not far away from them could not help but be a little displeased. What was she doing by thanking Jaden? Jaden came over because she came over. That implied that if she did not come over, Jaden would definitely not do that.

Additionally, Jaden did not act on his own. Instead, she had paid that guy $10,000 for him to take action against that group of gangsters. Why was it that she was not being appreciated at all?

"Hey Christine, the person that you should be thanking should be me. After all, had I not come over, you would be still remaining dazed behind your desk in your office." Scarlet stated in a displeased tone.

Christine looked at Scarlet as she blinked. Then after a while, she nodded her head and said, "Thank you so much for your assistance Scarlet. You did such a good job by finding such a good bodyguard. If you did not have him as a bodyguard, this group of gangsters would have not been dealt with."

Scarlet: "…."

Scarlet did not know what to respond this time. Nevertheless, she decided not to say anything about it. Instead, she looked towards the crowd that had already gathered around. The commotion that was caused by many people screaming was enough to be able to attract half of the entire street over.

Of course, there could not lack people that had recorded what had happened here. So, Scarlet could not help but frown in contemplation, as she wondered what to do.

"Weeeooo!! Weeeooo!! Weeeooo!!"

Scarlet and the rest of the people that were observing what was going on here suddenly heard the sound of police sirens from a distance. At that moment, Scarlet immediately realized that somebody had definitely called the police during the time that Jaden was dealing with the group of gangsters.

She could not help but be a little frustrated. With the police getting involved, this matter was going to be a little complicated. After all, it was impossible for them to claim that they were not attacking anybody, considering that many people had recorded what had happened here.

Additionally, the thing that frustrated her the most was that she had to involve the family influence in this matter. At the end of it all, if she did not want to go to the police to give a statement of what had happened here, she had no choice but to do that.

But by doing that, she would immediately inform Clifford that she was involved in a fight. At that time, Clifford might even decide to revoke the freedom that he had granted her.

She looked at Jaden, and realized that the guy did not seem to be panicking at all. But when she thought about it, she realized that there was no need for him to do that. After all, they were just acting in self-defense.

A single person being attacked by a group of people, anybody with a good eye would be able to tell that it was the person that fought against the group that was self-defending.

Not long after, a police car stopped not far away from the company, just behind the group of people who were excited about what had happened. The crowd of people immediately spread out, giving way for the police car to come over.

After the police car came over, two police officers stepped out of the car. One was a middle-aged man, while the other one was a lady who seemed to be in her late 20s.

The two of them looked around in confusion. They could not understand what was going on here. Previously, somebody had called and informed the police station that there was a fight that was going on here.

The two of them were immediately directed here by the control center of the police station, and rushed here as soon as possible. But now that they were here, they could not find any fight that was going on here, other than just a crowd of people that had congregated here.

But when they listen to the clamoring of the crowd, they immediately understood what had happened here. It seemed that a group of people had been beaten here by someone, before they were asked to leave.

The two of them looked around for a while, before moving towards Scarlet and Christine. The male officer immediately asked, "Do you mind telling me what is going on here?"

Scarlet, understanding that it was impossible to hide what had happened here, immediately decided to tell the truth. "There was a group of gangsters that came over to cause trouble. And other than that, they attacked me, and my bodyguard took action to deal with them."

When Jaden heard what she said, he could not help but give her a thumbs up in his heart. It seemed that Scarlet was not just all brawns, but she also possessed quite some brains. To be able to cook up such a reason in just a few minutes, she was definitely quite smart.

The two police officers could not help but look at Scarlet with an expression of disbelief. According to the information that they had received, the people fighting here numbered more than 20.

Could it be that her bodyguard was capable of taking care of more than 20 people alone? But that was supposed to be impossible, right? The strongest person that they knew could handle about seven or eight people at the same time.

"Who is your bodyguard?" The female officer could not help but ask curiously. Of course, just like the male officer, she could not believe what Scarlet had said. So, she was quite curious to know who that bodyguard was.

Scarlet looked towards Jaden who was standing not far away from where she was. The two officers immediately followed her gaze, and looked at him. The moment that they saw him, they could not help but be completely stunned.

This was the bodyguard? Wasn't he too young? Additionally, he was not that bulky. With that slim frame of his, he was capable of handling more than 20 people?

The two of them then shifted their gazes and looked at Scarlet. There was an expression of disbelief on their faces. "Can you… can you find another excuse?" The lady stated, as she looked at Scarlet with a weird expression on her face.

Scarlet was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing that. What excuse were these people talking about? She had just said what had happened, even though she was actually lying about the cause of the battle that occurred here.

Nevertheless, it was not them that had provoked the gangsters, considering that the gangsters were the ones that came over to cause trouble for Christine.

"What excuse are you talking about? I think that I told you the truth?" Scarlet asked with a confused expression on her face.

"Ahem! What I'm trying to imply is that, why don't you tell us who it was that was fighting. From the looks of it, that young man does not seem like a person who came from fighting with 20 people. Additionally, with his physique, I do doubt if he has the capability of handling 20 people at the same time." The male officer responded.

Scarlet was immediately rendered speechless after hearing that. She turned to look at Jaden. And just as the male officer had said, Jaden possessed a slim body. Even though he was quite muscular, it was definitely not at the level of those bodybuilders.

According to the belief of many people, only those bodybuilders possessed enough strength to be able to deal with several people at the same time. And looking at Jaden, he definitely did not look like one of them.

Additionally, Jaden was extremely clean at this moment. He did not look like a person who had just come back from a scuffle with several men. Indeed, if somebody had not seen the fight occurring, they would not believe that Jaden had been involved in a fight.

Because Jaden was not injured at all, his clothes were in place, and his hair was not disheveled. No matter how much others wanted to believe that he had fought, they would find it difficult.

"Well, I don't really have any other excuse. He was the one that was fighting with those guys, considering that he is my bodyguard. What else can I say?" Scarlet was completely helpless at this moment.

When the two of them saw the expression that was on Scarlet's face, they could not help but feel that she was telling the truth. But even if they thought that she was saying the truth, they found it difficult to believe it.

The female officer looked around and saw that there was a large group of people still standing not far away from them. So, she immediately called for one of them.

The guy rushed over excitedly. He looked at the female officer with anticipation in his eyes.

"Hey, I have a few questions for you. Can you cooperate with me?" The female officer asked.

"Yes, yes. I will definitely cooperate." The guy responded as he nodded his head rapidly.

"Okay, can you tell me what happened here?" The female officer asked.

"Ah… I don't know. I just arrived." The guy responded as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
