Chapter 485: 0486 Is He Really Just a Bodyguard? (Second Update)

Finally, the dance was over, and Shen Mengchen immediately made herself scarce, exchanging a few brief words with Liu Wen before diving into the crowd.

Returning to a seat on the side, Liu Wen’s sour expression did not escape Ma Zhipeng’s notice, nor did his glance towards Shen Mengchen who had run off elsewhere. Immediately, Ma Zhipeng said, "Young Master Liu, why let such a woman spoil your mood? She probably doesn’t even know who you are. Otherwise, she’d undoubtedly be grinning and fawning over you."

Liu Wen cast an unnoticeable glance towards Ye Qiu’s location and said indifferently, "Go back and gather some information on Longjia Group, especially that person!"

Ma Zhipeng nodded, mentally noting Ye Qiu as Liu Wen had mentioned him. Liu Wen might not have made any overt moves, but Ma Zhipeng, well-acquainted with Liu Wen’s ways, knew Ye Qiu was likely to be the next in trouble.

"Dare to compete with Young Master Liu for a woman, that guy is as good as dead."

An idea flashed through Ma Zhipeng’s eyes as he suddenly spoke, "Young Master Liu, since you want to look into Ye Qiu, why not bring Song Jie here? I get the feeling that Song Jie and Ye Qiu are not really friends. If we get information about Ye Qiu from him, we might save ourselves a lot of effort."

Liu Wen nodded, agreeing with Ma Zhipeng’s point, and instructed him to call over the ’Iron Triangle’.

Before long, Song Jie and his entourage were summoned before Liu Wen. Faced with one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital City, a flicker of apprehension passed through Song Jie’s eyes as he smiled, "Young Master Liu asks for me, may I know what it’s about?"

Liu Wen remained seated on the sofa, silent, prompting Ma Zhipeng to immediately ask on Liu Wen’s behalf, "Song Jie, our young master would like to know, what is your relationship with that boy?"

Ma Zhipeng pointed towards Ye Qiu in the distance, causing Song Jie’s expression to twitch slightly, uncertain of the Capital City young master’s intentions. Song Jie replied with a smile, "We’ve just met by chance and don’t have much of a relationship." He didn’t want to expose the truth: first, it would show his own incompetence and second, he feared being ridiculed, so he downplayed their relationship as superficial as water.

Liu Wen’s pinky tapped the rim of his glass, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, "I want to know everything about this person, tell me all you know!"

Liu Wen’s words startled Song Jie, but also filled him with glee—he sensed Liu Wen was poised to make a move against Ye Qiu.

"Young Master Liu, as far as I know, Ye Qiu is just Shen Mengchen’s bodyguard from Longjia Group, with no significant background—a lone individual."

"Oh!" Liu Wen nodded, no wonder he had sensed a connection between Shen Mengchen and Ye Qiu—it was the bodyguard-employer relationship. But... Liu Wen’s gaze turned chilly. When he had danced with Shen Mengchen before, the look in her eyes suggested it was more than just a simple bodyguard-employer relationship.

This Ye Qiu was ultimately an obstacle!

Since he doubted Song Jie would dare lie to him, Liu Wen waved his hand dismissively, now understanding what he wanted, and Song Jie’s group turned to leave.

Once on the other side, Jiang Hao sensed something was off and said, "Looks like Young Master Liu is quite interested in Ye Qiu."

Luo Ming, a man of few words, yet sharp-eyed, had observed Liu Wen’s initiative to dance with Shen Mengchen earlier. He explained, "It’s not just simple interest. Shen Mengchen and Ye Qiu seem to have an unusual relationship. Young Master Liu probably wants to deal with Ye Qiu so he won’t stand in his way of getting Shen Mengchen."

Song Jie chuckled darkly, "True, now that Ye Qiu has caught Young Master Liu’s attention, even if I didn’t deal with him, Liu Wen would make his life difficult. But, since he has angered me, he must die after tonight. I’ve already laid a trap outside—it’s inescapable, even if he had wings."

About Liu Wen’s concealed hostility, and Song Jie’s apparent cooperation with a hidden intention to kill, Ye Qiu knew nothing. At this moment, the encounter between Shen Mengchen and Fang Sijie, two powerful businesswomen, made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Despite the connection through Yinyin, as renowned businesswomen, the meeting between Shen Mengchen and Fang Sijie was far from harmonious. They soon began to debate over corporate strategies and goals.

The discourse shifted from corporate development to future economic trends, then to an analysis of the real estate bubble, and finally extended to the secrets of personal maintenance, even dragging Ye Qiu into the conversation.

Ye Qiu felt completely overwhelmed. He dreaded such bloodless warfare—the relentless combat between two women. Siding with either in this conversation seemed to attract the other’s piercing gaze. Out of options, he remained neutral, which pleased neither party.

Fortunately, the women’s war didn’t last too long, as the highlight of the business event arrived.

Spotlight converged, and a graceful figure appeared at the forefront.

Ye Qiu’s expression turned wooden, for this figure was eerily familiar—it was Mu Wanqing, the most popular top-tier star in China, whom he had coincidentally encountered many times.

Their acquaintance could only be described as a series of astounding coincidences, even Ye Qiu found it to be almost miraculous.

The warm and moving voice of Mu Wanqing began to sing, silencing the room as everyone was transported by the music into the beauty of song.

If there was one person who was the most excited, it was Song Jie. He had come solely to catch a glimpse of the beauty, and the moment Mu Wanqing slowly appeared, Song Jie was immediately captivated, his eyes filled with nothing but Mu Wanqing’s beautiful, charming face.

Beautiful person, sweet voice!

She possessed all the qualities of today’s entertainment industry stars, and at that moment, everyone seeing Mu Wanqing for the first time believed that with her talent and temperament, she completely fit the identity of a top-tier celebrity.

In another corner, Liu Wen, one of the four young nobles of Capital City, felt a flash of brilliance before his eyes at Mu Wanqing’s stunning appearance. Although he didn’t say much, it was evident that she had stirred his spirit.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think of Mu Wanqing?" Ma Zhipeng started his flattery again, "With your status, Mr. Liu, even top-tier stars would have to give you face. If you’re interested, I can negotiate with her agent to bring her to your room tonight."

Liu Wen’s face changed and he slapped Ma Zhipeng with a smack, "Shut your mouth; if you dare to say such things again, never show your face to me again."

Ma Zhipeng was stunned, not understanding why Liu Wen had such a strong reaction.

"Do you think Mu Wanqing is just any star? If it were someone else, they might be wary of my family background, but do you know who she is?" Liu Wen asked.

Ma Zhipeng shook his head. Although he felt wronged by Liu Wen’s slap, he was still happy that Liu Wen was willing to explain, and listened attentively.

"She herself has no particular status, and her family background is quite ordinary, but she has a brother. As long as her brother is around, no one can touch her!"

Liu Wen’s words truly astonished Ma Zhipeng, who had not considered that Mu Wanqing had a brother who was terribly imposing. He asked, "Who is her brother, and where is he from?"

However, Liu Wen shook his head, "There are some things you’re not yet qualified to know. That world is too far from us."

Seeing Liu Wen’s fearful yet somewhat longing expression, Ma Zhipeng realized that Mu Wanqing’s brother was no ordinary person and immediately banished any disrespectful thoughts from his mind.

At this moment, Mu Wanqing’s singing came to an end and the audience below erupted into thunderous applause.

Everyone had assumed that Mu Wanqing would leave immediately after her song, but what happened next took them by surprise.

Mu Wanqing actually stepped off the stage.

What was she doing? Many widened their eyes in curiosity.

Song Jie was thrilled because he saw that Mu Wanqing was heading in his direction, and the sweet smile on her face was meltingly soft. Could it be that Mu Wanqing had fallen for him at first sight?

Song Jie’s heart bloomed in an instant.

However, just as Mu Wanqing almost stood before him and Song Jie was about to greet her with a "hello," he realized she hadn’t even glanced at him. She walked straight past him, heading towards the back.

"What..." Song Jie’s elation crashed down from heaven to earth.

As Song Jie tried to understand why Mu Wanqing would go to meet someone else, his eyes suddenly widened in recognition.

The person she was going to meet was the very person he hated the most... Ye Qiu.

Not only Song Jie, but everyone else, including Liu Wen who had been watching the scene, couldn’t help but have their expressions change.

Standing at the side, Red Sister and Feng Zi, who had just been about to drink, were almost dropping their jaws in shock.

Wasn’t Ye Qiu just a bodyguard? How could he have such a good relationship with a big star like Mu Wanqing, it seemed.

"Is he really just a bodyguard?" At this moment, Red Sister and Feng Zi exchanged glances, both seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes, and a hint of regret emerged within them. If they had known this would be the outcome, they would never have left so casually in the beginning.

But now, moving forward seemed too late!
