The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Chapter 127

Pushing the chair behind him, Chen Pingrui stood up, it was almost the start of autumn, going out for a walk was much better than suffocating inside the house.

Wearing a white Tang costume and old Beijing cloth shoes with a white face and black base, fifty-six-year-old Chen Pingrui leisurely strolled around the neighborhood.

In his hand, he led a newly acquired Shandong fine-waisted dog. Dogs recognize their owners; it takes perseverance. Those who are experienced know that to cultivate jade, one must first care for it daily, so does this thing; it needs to be taken on daily walks.

Dog fighting is an exclusive sport for the men of Beiping. Ye Tian, during his time in Huaizhou City, had seen Lin Cheng’s dog fighting arena, and thus somewhat understood the stakes involved; a good fighting dog wouldn’t go for less than hundreds of thousands, if not a million. Seeing Chen Pingrui’s dog today, he somewhat gauged the character of Eunuch Rui.

Like owner, like dog. Ye Tian had not seen many dogs, the only good dog he had encountered was Liu Zhongshi’s Big Black; the gaze of this Shandong fine-waisted dog was similar to Big Black’s, both showcasing a steadfast temperament. Dogs that bite do not bark. This sight pulled at Ye Tian’s heart immediately. However, being a well-traveled individual, he wasn’t so easily intimidated.

"Hey, such a gonner," as they passed by Ye Tian, the dog suddenly moved from the left to the right of Chen Pingrui, deliberately avoiding Ye Tian.

Chen Pingrui nodded politely towards Ye Tian, "Have you played with dogs?"

"I’ve had one back home, but just a mutt, can’t compare to yours." Ye Tian voluntarily stepped back, his security uniform indeed seemed a bit shabby.

"Mutt are good, cheap to maintain, easy-to-raise, don’t get into trouble." As if talking to himself, yet with seeming intent, Chen Pingrui finished speaking and politely nodded at Ye Tian again, leading his dog towards Fengyue Lake, a favorite spot among the local residents.

A mutt, you’re the mutt!

Cheap life, you’re the one with a cheap life!

Ye Tian didn’t deny that he was a scoundrel or trash, but indeed he is a scoundrel who, despite life’s harsh beatings, remained resilient.

A resilient scoundrel.

Always in awe of the rarely-seen Mo Family, Ye Tian certainly didn’t believe his good looks alone had saved his life. Reality was harsh; his current plight was indeed dire, but thankfully, he had a skill appreciated by Miss Mo.

As to whether he could live luxuriously, that was not under his control, but surviving was his primary concern. When Shen Jingwei had struck him, Ye Tian considered where to take refuge. He thought of Gu Family, but impulsively presenting them with four people was downright shameless. Moreover, the military was absolutely taboo for him, having the old soldiers see him still lively and carrying honors would drive them crazy for sure; they’d probably direct their machine guns at him on sight.

Ye Tian sighed, if he still held value as a pawn for someone else, he just didn’t understand yet who was he supposed to confront. Could it be this Eunuch Rui?

Shaking his head, the perplexed Ye Tian straightened the folds on his clothing and continued forward.

They arrived again at the central circular flowerbed of the neighborhood, which featured a huge flower pond containing various precious flowers. It is said that some are worth tens of thousands. Ye Tian didn’t understand much about these, but he knew enough to casually pick a small flower or a few leaves whenever there was no one around. Pig Hu had said that these, once dried, became valuable herbs, free for the taking.

After stuffing them in his pocket, Ye Tian looked back at the three-story white villa behind him. The eyes he was curious about likely belonged to someone living there. What surprised Ye Tian this time was that he caught them in the act; those eyes were watching him through the curtain.

The white, soft, gauzy curtains couldn’t conceal the beautifully delicate curves underneath; it was a woman.

Ye Tian waved at the person and then left. He had no interest in causing trouble with anyone here, not to mention influential figures like Chen Pingrui with their seemingly kind but ruthless hearts. He couldn’t even afford to mess with the ordinary residents, nor did he dare to raise his voice at the golden retriever from last night. This place was their last stronghold, the safest one, and the life they had fought hard for couldn’t be lost over trivial matters.

Those eyes watched Ye Tian leave until he disappeared around the corner.

"Big dummy, get it clear, it’s Beijing A! This is Beijing A! Stop your yammering and get lost, you’re holding up my business, you can’t afford the consequences!"

Before Ye Tian even reached the gate, he heard a grating voice, like ducks squawking, quite unpleasant. Approaching, a black Mercedes S600 was parked there. A man, effeminate like a young lady, was raising his voice at Bear-like Zhang Houtu, surprisingly with a hair bun, which explained his feminine-sounding voice.

Beijing A, government vehicle.

"Sir, we have rules here. Without a magnetic card, entry is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, could you please call your friend to come out and fetch you?"

Probably thinking Zhang Houtu was easy to bully due to his naive smile, the little duck-man started berating more directly with hands on hips, "You blind watchdog, besides barking mindlessly here, what else can you do..."

Ye Tian actually admired Zhang Houtu’s patience. No wonder this guy could stay around Old Master Gu; with the old man’s terrible temper, only someone with great endurance could withstand it. When the little duck-man had been ranting for nearly five minutes, the owner of the Mercedes finally couldn’t sit still and rolled down the window.

"Big guy, are you new here?"

Zhang Houtu grinned naively, showing off his white teeth, "Yes. He’s my coworker. If it’s inconvenient for you, he can pass on a message for you."

Seeing Ye Tian, especially noticing his buzz cut, the little duck-man was even more disdainful, "Leopard, do you know who lives inside? Can you even read the door numbers here? Do you know who this car belongs to? Quit your talking and let us through, or else..."

"Ma’am, rest assured, I will take care of the task you’ve assigned to me."

The little duck-man was taken aback, then flew into a rage, "Who are you calling ma’am? Huh? I’m a real man!"

That twisted tone, the flirtatious toss of the head that flicked long hair, deeply disgusted Ye Tian. Glancing at Zhang Houtu, he still had an innocent smile, which made Ye Tian’s respect for him almost reach the level of awe.

The lady in the car was also amused by Ye Tian’s sarcastic remark, "Little Bitch, really, your gesture just now did look quite like a young lady, haha."
