The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174

Just looking at the scratches on the car, Lin Jingran knew that the journey back had not been easy, but she said nothing. Standing before her was her only family member, someone she didn’t have the heart to beat or scold, so she could only prattle on, "It’s good to be back, good to be back, good to be back..."

"He said Chen Pingrui is dead, is it true?"

Ye Tian saw Lin Jingran looking at him and nodded.

Seeing that Lin Jingran remained silent, it meant that this guy was telling the truth. Chen Xing walked toward the villa without looking back, leaving behind a few silent people.

The three women of the Chen family had gathered. The traces of Xu Qingyang’s beating in the living room had not yet faded, and Lin Jingran felt a jolt of shock at the sight of the spider-web cracks on the floor. She hadn’t been very focused on Zheng Xinru’s conversation, initially thinking it was just her laying groundwork for her own interests, but now it appeared that the Liu Family brat was really ready to unleash a massacre on the Chen family.

"You’ve all seen the situation, Jingran, I’ve already said everything to Nan, and I surely won’t shortchange you on what you deserve. But now is not the time to be dividing the inheritance. Zhang Xiayang’s escape doesn’t mean the Liu Family will let things be, and although Liu Laogou is an old dog, Liu Ping is a wolf cub. You all better not play any tricks on me, or I can’t guarantee who the next to suffer a sudden heart attack will be. From now on, Pingrui’s company will be under my control, and Ye Tian will handle those shady industries. You don’t have objections, do you?"

Hearing Zheng Xinru speak so deliberately, Lv Nan was the first to nod in agreement. How could she dare object? Dong Cheng was her doing, yet still, he was brazenly forced away by Ye Tian’s bodyguard, and to avoid suspicion, it seemed she would have to stay here tonight.

Zheng Xinru nodded, then turned to Lin Jingran and asked, "What about you, Jingran?"

With Nan having nodded, Lin Jingran didn’t say much either. She was always slow to react, content to follow the majority opinion.

"Alright then, that’s settled."

With the matter decided, Ye Tian, who was standing aside, slowly exhaled a breath of relief and then stepped out. With Zheng Xinru there to oversee everything, he felt assured.

His mobile phone vibrated with a text message. Ye Tian slid out his phone to look, a smile curling on his lips.

It was evening when Chen Xing was picked up from the airport and brought back home, and by the time they reached Tianhe City from Huairou it was ten o’clock, a perfectly timed moment.

Tower upon Tower, a fairly elegant name, yet it was home to a bunch of creatures with pretense and malice.

Xu Qingyang followed Dong Cheng’s car here, waiting until the two young women entered before sending Ye Tian a text, while he himself loitered nearby. After thoroughly scouting the nearby terrain, just as he had finished, Ye Tian arrived.

The car was parked some distance away, where each villa stood independently, but the property management was very diligent, so it was basically impossible to stroll in conspicuously by car. Ye Tian slipped past two security guards alone, then shook off his clothes, and walked confidently under the solar-powered streetlights, heading to the villa marked 8066 as directed in Xu Qingyang’s message.

This guy really likes lucky numbers.

Having sauntered to the destination and seeing no one around, Ye Tian bent to tie his shoelaces. When he stood back up, a man emerged from the nearby woods: dressed in a black, fitted suit, sleek and efficient. When Ye Tian stood upright, the two of them were side by side.

"Inside there?"

"Hasn’t come out, aside from those two women, no others have come and gone."

"There were people in the house before?"

"Yes."

Ye Tian was surprised, "That certain?"

"Mm. Two of them, both skilled."

A man of few words indeed.

"The security patrols every fifteen minutes, and it’s shift change time now; this is the best moment to go in."

"What about the surveillance?"

"We’ll talk about the inside surveillance later. Worst case, we’ll set the house on fire. As for the outside..." Xu Qingyang glanced at the cameras around and disdainfully said, "They are miles away and aren’t infrared; at night, they can only see a dark shadow."

Ye Tian silently applauded in his heart; Zhang Xiayang really hadn’t just been boasting. This man was indeed effective, not only ruthless but also clean and untraceable with his work. What a windfall!

The two proceeded, one after the other, up the staircase.

The door was locked from the inside, and Ye Tian was not foolish enough to think he could kick open a solid wooden door like in the movies—too much effort and too much noise. After fumbling in his pocket for a while, he pulled out a key, inserted it into the lock, wiggled it a few times, and the door "clicked" open.

"Who...?"

As Xu Qingyang said, these two were skilled; they immediately caught the sound of the unlocking door. But before any threat could be voiced, one’s throat was already locked by Xu Qingyang, and the other, who hadn’t time to speak, was kicked unconscious by the foot Xu Qingyang flicked over, more wooden than wood.

Having a capable subordinate really saves trouble. Ye Tian, like the infamously domineering young masters in ancient times, walked over after his subordinate had done the work, ready to reap the victory. Indeed, the situation now quite resembled such a scene.

Strutting forward, Ye Tian walked over to where the bodyguard’s head was being pressed firmly against the ground by Xu Qingyang, the flesh of the face mashed into various shapes against the floor.

With a cheery grin, Ye Tian said, "I’ll ask only once, where is Dong Cheng?"

The man didn’t speak, his eyes closed and silent.

Ye Tian said he would ask once and meant it; he did not speak a second time. He simply grabbed a fruit knife from the table and drove it through both sides of the man’s cheeks. Not just the cheeks; the blade entered one side and exited the other, nailing him straight to the wooden floor, his thick blood spilling everywhere, the pungent odor of it filling the room.

"You deserve to be nothing more than an underling, how big can this house be? Even if you don’t say, can I not find him?" Knowing that Ye Tian had stood up, Xu Qingyang understood it was the end for this guy, as he squeezed hard and crushed the man’s throat, killing him.

After swiftly checking the living room, Xu Qingyang gestured an ’ok’ sign to Ye Tian once confirming there were no others.

Upstairs, there were sounds of both men and women. According to Xu Qingyang, it seemed likely that Dong Cheng had called some girls to help him cool off.

Holding the Master Key, Ye Tian ascended the spiral staircase, noticing Xu Qingyang’s odd gaze, he shook the key in his hand, "Master Key, tricked out of a low-class Tomb Robber."
