The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 169: Chapter 169

"When she said this, Zheng Xinru’s tone was calm, but the bleakness in her words still seeped out unavoidably."

"Lu Nan, I know what you’re thinking. Among the three of us, you’re the youngest, but also the craftiest. To put it bluntly, your mind is full of schemes, and you’re stubbornly set in your ways. We’ll talk about Jingran when she gets back. I don’t want to know what your relationship with Dong Cheng is, but I have to say this: the Chen family hasn’t fallen yet. Don’t rush to find a lawyer to draft a legal letter. What’s promised to you will be given in full. If you play tricks on me at this critical moment and really push me to the edge, don’t blame me for stabbing you in the back."

"Sister Zheng, do you know where that guy just went?"

Ye Tian interjected casually, easing the immediate tension between the two parties. In fact, anyone with discernment could see that if the conflict truly erupted, the victor would still be Zheng Xinru.

Zheng Xinru seemed somewhat irritated and rubbed her nose bridge, frowning, "He doesn’t dare cause a stir in Beiping City. He mainly resides in Tianhe City, at three places. I’ll write them down for you."

"No need, you tell me, I’ll write."

Ye Tian took out a sticky note he carried with him. According to what Zheng Xinru said, he wrote everything down and then noted a series of numbers on top, handing it to Xu Qingyang standing behind him, "Follow this license plate number and investigate. It’d be best to check all three places and try to extract as much information about the Liu Family from him as possible."

Xu Qingyang took the slip of paper and nodded before stepping out the door. Seeing him leave without even a greeting, Ye Tian said somewhat sheepishly to Zheng Xinru, "He’s like that, has spent too much time in the countryside and doesn’t really know the protocols."

"People with real ability should have some temper, it’s no trouble."

"Then I’ll be taking my leave first. I have arranged for the security here, but if you’re still concerned, just call me."

"Mhm, go attend to your matters."

Ye Tian bowed slightly and left. Zheng Xinru watched his somewhat gaunt figure and imagined seeing a lean and fierce tiger prowling everywhere for food, all for the sake of reigning supreme one day.

Dong Cheng drove furiously towards the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway. In the backseat of the car, muffled grunts could be heard from time to time—the bodyguard, who had never tasted defeat, now groaned in pain, which was not a good sign at all.

Usually, it was his subordinates who stomped on others; since when did he have to drive himself, and this time, even being pressed by a kid at that. Dong Cheng had no doubt that if he hadn’t left, that javelin-like man would not have shown any mercy just because he was sitting on a couch—it could have very well been the end of himself.

"Shut up! Weren’t you very tough?"

Unbearable to the moaning of pain behind him, Dong Cheng slapped the steering wheel hard and cursed, quieting the grunts from behind.

Dong Cheng had a well-thought-out plan for this visit. If the Liu Family kid had his eye on him as the middleman, then he should definitely skim some benefits, or else it would be a shame to the ancestors of the Dong Family. Now, the Chen family was left with only three women, and even with Zheng Xinru among them, what could she really do? The Liu Family had vast resources, and now, at least half of Tianhe City’s forces had sided with them. No matter how capable she was, what tricks could she possibly pull? The most ideal solution would be to reconcile with the Liu Family. Dong Cheng had already planned—to take back all the venues that Chen Pingrui had snatched from him in one go, and best if he could get tens of millions of US dollars, to buy several apartments and villas in the United States, and secure his own well-being for the rest of his life no matter what.

Dong Cheng had also considered teaming up with the Liu Family to devour the Chen family, and then splitting the accounts fifty-fifty, but the sudden appearance of that madwoman made him take a step back. Even if he angered the police, Dong Cheng didn’t want to mess with that lunatic woman holding a glazed crescent moon in her hands.

Damn it! Shit! They’re all fucking bitches!

The angrier Dong Cheng got, the more it fueled his frustration at how his grand plan was ruined by a couple of kids. He needed a couple of top-notch whores to quench the fire of his annoyance. The car raced along the highway towards Tianhe City.

Ye Tian parked the car and waited at the door for Pig Hu to arrive.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Ye Tian thought carefully and still felt uneasy. This was his rare opportunity; after being forced out of Huaizhou by Lei Bao, his chance for revenge seemed even more remote, so there could be no slip-ups.

Tang Su was his biggest problem; perhaps in a few days, everyone in Tianhe City would know that the guy named Ye Tian was the newly groomed agent for the Chen family. Then all the hidden and overt threats would be directed at him. Zhang Houtu and his likes were not so much of a concern since they had enough ability to protect themselves, but Tang Su was different. Even though she had a father who was the secretary of the municipal party committee, the emperor is far away from the sky, and if anything happened on Ye Tian’s turf, naturally, he’d be the one they’d hold accountable, not anyone else.

Manpower. They were still short on manpower. Zhang Houtu stationed here couldn’t take care of both Tang Su and Zheng Xinru at the same time, while Xu Qingyang and Zhang Daniu still had to follow him to Tianhe to sort out issues. Being caught between two fronts was vexing.

"What’s wrong, Ye? Got trouble?" Pig Hu came over, holding a cigarette, opened the car door, and a whiff of low-quality cigarette smoke instantly filled the entire car.

Leaning back on the pillow, Ye Tian felt a bit melancholic and tilted his head, "Give me one, I forgot to bring mine."

Pig Hu pulled out a Red Mountain Tea cigarette and handed it over.

"Old Hu, what do you think, if we run into a couple more like Lei Bao, will we get crushed like last time?"

Pig Hu glanced at him, "Last time he had more people; this time it’s different. What, short on manpower? I might know a few, just not sure if you dare to use them?"

Ye Tian’s interest piqued, "You have people?"

"Pfft, those who live off tomb raiding, which of them isn’t risking their lives? There are those who do the tough and dirty work, and those who rely on their brains to traverse the world. In the end, only a few survive. The rest either died or got crippled, or else they’re sitting in jail munching on prison food. But I have to warn you beforehand, even though I might find some, these are people who have crawled out of piles of corpses. They’re even more ruthless than that Xu Qingyang guy you mentioned, flipping faces in no time, not to mention swearing loyalty to you. It’s even possible they might cause trouble and then run off, leaving you to clean up the mess."
