Chapter 205: Chapter 178: Top-Tier Pageantry and Professional Bodyguards

As President Zhou Gang’s voice fell, everyone on site subconsciously turned to look toward the main gate of Xingchuan International.

A massive motorcade, like a winding black dragon, was particularly conspicuous against the snow and ice. The vehicles all maintained a steady speed. At the very front was an all-black Hongqi Guoyao.

Its 5.7-meter-long SUV body gave it an inexplicably domineering air.

It drove far ahead, like a lead vehicle, followed by eight of the latest Mercedes-Benz E300s. A blue license plate starting with "Hu A" was mounted on the front of each car.

"All of you, stand straight!"

No matter how much anger was simmering inside Chu Zhengxiong, he couldn’t afford to let it erupt now. He could only turn to Chu Zhengnan and the others, warning them in a low, harsh voice, "Watch your eyes in a minute. If I catch anyone giving them a defiant look, don’t blame me for gouging their eyes out later!"

After speaking, Chu Zhengxiong quickly straightened his clothes and returned to his position at the very front. He took several deep breaths, trying to calm his emotions.

"Quickly, quickly!"

"Everyone, line up and prepare for their arrival!"

Chu Zhengnan, knowing he had caused trouble, hastily urged the people behind him in a low voice.

The motorcade, like a black dragon, surged toward Xingchuan International, while Chu Zhengnan and the others scrambled in a flustered hurry.

In the blink of an eye, the black Hongqi Guoyao at the front drove into the Xingchuan International Headquarters and stopped directly in front of Chu Zhengxiong and his men. The eight new Mercedes-Benz E300s followed close behind, parking neatly on the right.

The stream of cars continued to pour in. After all the Mercedes-Benz E300s had entered, Chu Zhengxiong and the others saw two more Hongqi Guoyao vehicles drive in slowly, protecting a pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan positioned between them.

Seeing this, the people from Xingchuan International knew that the person inside the pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan was, in all likelihood, Director Gu Heng—the man who was about to become their group’s second-largest shareholder.

At this point, vehicles were still continuously driving into the Xingchuan International premises.

It wasn’t until another eight of the latest Audi A6Ls had driven in that the motorcade finally concluded, with one last Hongqi Guoyao bringing up the rear.

In the end, this was the scene the people of Xingchuan International witnessed.

On the left were eight Audi A6Ls, and on the right were eight Mercedes-Benz E300s.

In the center, four Hongqi Guoyao vehicles formed a box formation, tightly enclosing the pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Even Chu Zhengxiong and his men, who were accustomed to grand displays of pomp, were stunned by the lineup before them. The entire area fell silent as a speechless shock gradually spread through the hearts of Chu Zhengnan and the others.

THUD...

Once all the vehicles were neatly parked, the doors of every car—except for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the center—opened one after another.

The people who emerged from the Audi A6Ls and Mercedes-Benz E300s on both sides were all uniformly dressed in black business suits and carried black briefcases. Each one was full of vigor, with their heads held high, exuding a potent air of the elite.

After exiting their cars, they stood together in neat formation.

In an instant, a grand and dignified aura swept over the entire scene, completely different from the imposing presence projected by Chu Zhengxiong and the Xingchuan International group.

At the same time, the people who stepped out of the four Hongqi Guoyao vehicles were equally eye-catching.

Compared to the group from the Audis and Mercedes, these people were all dressed in long, black cashmere coats. Every one of them was tall with piercing eyes, and their entire being radiated an extremely formidable aura.

If Chu Zhengnan gave off an impression of brawny fierceness, then this group radiated cold ruthlessness—or rather, the kind of aloof arrogance that only top-tier experts could possess.

This group included men, women, and many foreigners.

The glances they occasionally swept over the area were so sharp that the people from Xingchuan International found them piercing. They would instinctively avert their gazes, a sense of fear rising from the bottom of their hearts.

It was obvious that these people were all professional bodyguards—and top-tier ones at that.

After emerging from the Hongqi Guoyao vehicles, they immediately dispersed, taking up positions around the pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Their eyes scanned the surroundings like radar.

Once everyone was out, the driver’s and front passenger’s doors of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan opened simultaneously, and a man and a woman stepped out.

The man who got out of the driver’s seat was tall and powerfully built, nearly 1.9 meters tall. He had a clean-cut buzz cut, and his bronze-skinned features were resolute and stern. A sharp glint would flash in his eyes from time to time.

The woman who stepped out from the passenger seat, despite being a woman, had a build as robust as a man’s. She had wheat-colored skin, thick limbs, and large hands and feet. On the surface, she looked no different from a Chinese person, but a closer look at her eyes would reveal that her pupils were not black, but a deep sea-blue.

After getting out, they each opened one of the rear doors.

From one side, an expensive black leather shoe stepped onto the black asphalt. From the other, a red-soled, black Valentino, revealing a slender, porcelain-white ankle.

With all eyes on him, Gu Heng stepped out from the back of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, dressed in a custom-made, light-gray Brioni suit. His hair was meticulously styled today—a neat, short, textured cut that complemented his handsome, youthful face. This, combined with his tall, slender figure and superior air, made him look exceptionally refined.
