The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 176

"It’s all been taken care of, you can leave with peace of mind. When you go, don’t forget there’s a security patrol."

Watching the two figures disappearing into the distance, Juanzi suddenly had an illusion that she might have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Just like that, they left?"

"What else? Were you planning to kill those two women?"

Xu Qingyang, who was driving, looked ahead coldly, expressionless, "Better to kill wrongly than to let go."

"Ah, forget it. You heard what that woman said. Self-preservation is always the most important thing for them. They wouldn’t put themselves in danger over a dead person. Life is tough for everyone, why bother so much with two women just trying to make a living?"

Life is tough? Xu Qingyang seemed to hear this kind of talk for the first time. Big Bull had mentioned it before, but not as thoroughly and detailed as Ye Tian. She wondered if it was because she hadn’t listened properly or if it was indeed that Big Bull’s explanation wasn’t as convincing as Ye Tian’s.

"Our purpose of killing is not out of hatred, but to achieve our goals. Never make killing the goal; it will ruin you. Destroying oneself for others is simply not worth it."

She didn’t know if it was Ye Tian’s words that had an effect or if it was some other reason, but Xu Qingyang’s eyes started to show something different. The eyes that had been cold began to mix with a trace of something else. Although it was only for a moment, it had already indicated that the heart of this cold person had begun to change.

"Where are we going now?" Xu Qingyang asked.

Ye Tian thought for a moment, looked up at the clock hanging overhead, and said, "To the bar. Since we’re here, let’s see what their bar is really like."

According to Dong Cheng, there were more than three thousand bars in Tianhe City, averaging two on each street. Moreover, the number of bars in the city was increasing at the rate of one per month. Theoretically, as long as you have a foothold in these bars, the various transactions taking place inside could be carried out smoothly. However, in reality, the cost of maintaining these trades was gradually increasing. Many bars made a profit, but only a few made significant profits. One of them belonged to Chen Pingrui, which was the very one Dong Cheng had always wanted to take down.

Slow Rock Bar. As the name suggests, it’s a light bar.

"Relax, we’re just going to have a drink and some fun. Oh right, clean the blood off your sleeve. Never mind, it’s not too noticeable anyway."

At the entrance, Ye Tian fussed over Xu Qingyang’s clothes like a mother would, and only then did the two go inside. The greeter at the door thought they were just a couple of guys out on a lark.

Ye Tian chose a corner seat to sit down, ordered a bottle of red wine, drank on his own, all the while carefully observing the bar.

Perhaps it was truly because it was a high-end bar, the decoration and layout here seemed more European, especially the lotus-shaped chandelier above that was particularly eye-catching. Ye Tian had heard from the British Royal Special Forces when he was overseas that such chandeliers, made of frosted glass, were expensive, with the price of one chandelier being about the same as an automatic anti-tank gun, around twenty thousand U.S. dollars. Military people always liked to use weapons as a standard for valuing prices.

After looking at the chandelier, Ye Tian turned his attention to the crowd. A woman with long hair reaching her waist, wearing a red coat, came toward him following his gaze, playing with a glaze crescent moon in her hand. A dangerous aura, akin to that of a cobra, came at him, making Xu Qingyang instantly tense all his muscles.

Ye Tian didn’t recognize the woman, but he recognized the man following behind her; his name was Qin Gui, nicknamed Little Ghost.

"Hello, beauty."

Ye Tian greeted enthusiastically with both hands outstretched, but what met him was not a smile but a silver-white Desert Eagle extended by Little Ghost. Under the lighting, the silvery gun shone eerily, captivating.

"Ye Tian, that’s your name, right?"

He poured a glass of red wine, didn’t even drink it, and frowned, "This wine is as vulgar as your name."

Qin Gui snapped his fingers appropriately, and at the moment Ye Tian lowered his hands, the gun was retracted.

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Lafite, ’82."

The waiter was stunned, seeming to not have come back to his senses. This red-haired lad looked like the sort of hooligan who would drink draft beer—how could he ask for ’82 Lafite right off the bat? Been watching too many movies, perhaps.

Liu Liyue poured and drank by herself, waving a hand dismissively, "Nevermind, just bring me a glass of water."

"Alright, one glass of water."

"Ah? Oh, sure."

The waiter mumbled to himself, if you can’t afford it, then you can’t afford it—pretending to be all posh asking for ’82 Lafite when you’re just water-drinking material.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Gui’s eyes, wanting to catch up to the waiter but was stopped by Liu Liyue, and his hand that was about to reach out froze instantly. He seemed to have great fear for this aunt beside him, always compliant to whatever she said.

Ye Tian looked on with interest at the two of them. Dong Cheng had said if it weren’t for the last-minute support from this enchanting woman, Liu Ping wouldn’t have made such a public and aggressive stand against the Chen family. And then there’s that little red-haired guy standing behind her, seemingly an unfathomable character.

Unexpectedly ran into them here.

"Looking at the car you drove, that’s Eunuch Rui’s, right? Seems like after Zhang Xiayang ran away, the Chen family supported you to the top. When I saw you patrolling in the community, I merely thought you were a bit special—don’t misunderstand, it’s just because I saw your crew cut that I felt this way. It’s Tomb Raider King Hu Xiaoye and that old Iron Cloth Shirt guy who are the real experts. So many people to choose from, yet the Chen family picked you to be their representative, Zheng Xinru really has the guts."

Liu Liyue looked at Ye Tian in front of her with some playfulness. She never expected to encounter the security guard who used to patrol around the neighborhood here, becoming her biggest enemy at that, the impermanence of life indeed.

"Is it you?"

A very cliché question, but it unraveled the question that had lingered in Ye Tian’s mind since he first settled into the Fengyue Lake villa—the pair of eyes that had been watching him from the shadows turned out to belong to the woman in front of him.

How did this seemingly frail but seductive woman force a cunning fox like Dong Cheng to willingly become a pawn in her game? And how did the wolf cub from the Liu Family willingly allow an outsider to intervene in his domain? It’s clear to anyone with eyes that at this moment, the Chen family are unlikely to make any big moves; just being able to stabilize the current situation would be enough cause for gratitude, let alone expanding territory and absorbing others. The Liu Family is now overwhelming—capable of dragging the Chen family to their death even by themselves. There’s not much point for others to get involved at this time, it’s nothing more than wanting a share of the spoils. As cunning as Liu Ping is, how could he willingly share the meat that’s come to his mouth with someone else?
