The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 123

The person sitting next to Pig Hu is a security guard from Hunan, who reportedly has a relative working in the property management here. He looks down on Pig Hu’s sloppy style and that greasy, middle-parted long hair; he also despises the old man’s laziness and rascality, along with his petty attention to detail. He could even dig out a used aluminum toothpaste tube from under the wall corner cabinet, claiming he was going to sell it for scrap, which made him despise Pig Hu even more. However, Pig Hu doesn’t care; thinking himself as Hu Xiaoye, after all, he is someone with a reputation in the worldly society, able to secure a meal wherever he goes. But he came here for Ye Tian, who resembles his younger self—stubborn as a mule and quite daring. They say people die for wealth and birds die for food, but a loyal official also needs a heart full of loyalty and courage. Ever since Ye Tian pulled him out of detention, he has seen things in a new light. Following this youngster might not bring him a fortune, but at least it wouldn’t leave his life bland and dull.

Loyal officials and righteous masters, that’s settled.

Zhang Houtu has the heaviest duties, but he is also the most pleasing one. Many residents have written letters of commendation to the property management, praising this big guy standing at the gate, and the letters often highlight fine details: his salute is very standard, he has a nice smile, his teeth are white, and even some mischievous ladies wrote in their hearts, "I like his smile, warm like the sun in winter. I like it even more when he blushes on the sides of his cheeks while talking to me, like fiery clouds on the horizon, this adorable big boy."

"Hahaha..."

That night, Ye Tian vividly read the content of the letters, causing everyone to burst into laughter, except for Zhang Houtu, who was nonchalantly cooking.

"Old Zhang, you’re famous now. It looks like it won’t be long before some dames drag you into bed. With your physique, at least a ’nine times a night lad’!" Pig Hu joked shamelessly, his center-parted long hair swaying disgustingly with the movement of his body.

Zhang Houtu sat on a stool, waving for everyone to come over and eat, even carefully spreading his jacket on Liu Zhongshi’s stool to make it warmer to sit on.

"None of the people living here are good."

"Good people don’t last long, the wicked live a millennium. Have you ever heard of good people moving into Beiping City’s villas? Your words are just nonsense." Pig Hu said disdainfully, having been adrift in the worldly society for fifty years, he has gone through everything he should have and has seen all varieties of good, bad, non-existent, and ugly people. As a tomb raider for many years, the people lying in coffins aren’t scary, it’s the people still walking on two legs who are the scariest.

Liu Zhongshi kept silent, just bowing his head and eating, but after hearing Pig Hu’s words, he finally mumbled, "Don’t generalize, there are still more good people in this society."

"Yes, yes, there are more good people. Uncle Liu, come on, have some dishes, they’re nice and hot."

Pig Hu is just mean; once a well-known Tomb Raider Hero, he even dared to raid the Evil Tomb from two thousand years ago and has a few lives on his hands. He fears no heaven or earth, but he is afraid of two people, one is Shen Jingwei, who dismantles bones for a hobby, and the other is Liu Zhongshi in front of him, who has some connections to his master. Look, he’s eagerly serving food to him.

Ignoring Pig Hu, Ye Tian remembered the words Zhang Houtu had just said and asked, "Old Zhang, do you feel anything odd about the people here?"

"There’s no shortage of odd people here: treacherous men, cunning women, not a single good thing among them. But if you’re talking about someone special, there really is one."

"Who?"

Zhang Houtu shook his head, "I’ve only seen him once, driving an Audi A4, looked to be about forty, but I don’t know his actual age—people nowadays keep up their appearances, hard to tell. Dignified and scholarly, awe-inspiring without anger, you can tell by his temperament, he’s somebody."

An Audi A4, Ye Tian suddenly remembered a man surnamed Gou in Huaizhou City, who also drove an Audi A4.

"Don’t think too much, definitely just someone putting on airs. Ah, ah, ah, too spicy for me. Xiao Zhang, next time don’t add so many chili peppers when cooking."

"The heat can’t even shut your mouth. Just eat your food."

"Ah, ah, ah! I’ll listen to Uncle Liu."

Zhang Houtu gave him a look and continued talking to Ye Tian, "I’ve been with the old master for so many years, not to say I can read people as well as he can, but I’m still a bit better than the average person. This man, he really does have a unique temperament, think about it, the people who can live here and still personally offer me a cigarette, those with such magnanimity, how can they not achieve great things?"

Ye Tian nodded silently, also mentally noting this Audi A4.

"Ye Tian."

"Hmm?"

"Let’s talk about you."

"What about me?"

"You asked me if I felt anything special about the people here. If you hadn’t noticed something wrong, you definitely wouldn’t have asked that question," Zhang Houtu said while holding his bowl, that poor little bowl looked pitiful in his hands.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian still shook his head, "Nothing. Just feeling something’s off. Can’t put my finger on it; everyone just be careful."

"Yeah, I always feel like those guys we beat up last time are harboring grudges, holding back so long, they’re probably looking for revenge soon."

Pig Hu this time did not interrupt, since he had no involvement in the beating. Silence fell over the dinner, and the four people all focused on eating. It must be said, Zhang Houtu has a finesse despite his size; such a big man actually could cook a good meal, far better than that pile of instant noodle boxes in the corner.

After eating their fill, the men dispersed. Zhang Houtu stayed behind to clean up, washing the dishes and soup spoons, and in an instant transformed from an iron-hard tough guy into a thrice-excellent houseman.

About the pair of observing eyes, Ye Tian did not mention it; it wasn’t worth worrying Zhang Houtu over such a trivial matter. Besides, those eyes were only perceived by himself, and who could guarantee that feelings were free from error? Shaking his head, he took it as a joke.

As usual, he patrolled with a flashlight. He had reported the dangerous areas discovered during the daytime to the property management. Although this was a high-end resort community with quite effective management, for the sake of safety, Ye Tian continued to patrol according to the management regulations, then decided to check those areas again after completing his patrol. Turning off the flashlight, he walked forward, guided by the street light.

"Woof, woof, woof."

A few barks came from ahead, a silhouette walking towards Ye Tian.

Ye Tian recognized the person; a resident here, who came out for a walk every night. The Golden Retriever was her pet.
