The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177

Watching Ye Tian’s flickering eyes, and his feigned composure, Liu Liyue instantly found this guy named Ye Tian somewhat cute. Covering the smile at the corner of her mouth, she picked up her drink, poured herself a cup, gently placed it on the table, "I suddenly find, you’re quite entertaining."

"Hehe, I’ve noticed, actually, you’re pretty interesting too."

The silly smile paired with the scratching of his head instantly turned into two words in Qin Gui’s heart: teasing. However, this time he didn’t rush to act, not because he feared Xu Qingyang, who was equally capable across the table, but because Liu Liyue hadn’t issued the usual command to strike.

Liu Liyue picked up the clear water in front of her, gently swaying it. The water in the glass gradually formed ripples, and as she sped up her swiveling, the ripples in the glass eventually shaped into a conical funnel.

"Many men have tried to conquer me before, but their ends weren’t so great."

Ye Tian looked at Qin Gui beside her, smiled and said, "This young brother here seems pretty good, right?" Qin Gui’s face unnaturally changed a bit, finally intensely focusing on Liu Liyue’s reply, he hoped to hear something that might give him a glimmer of hope. However, the answer still let him down.

"That’s because he’s still useful to me, so I’m keeping him for now."

Holy crap, that works too!

"Snap." Liu Liyue placed the glass onto the blue glowing coffee table. The clear water inside was still spinning, the sharp end of the funnel slowly approached the bottom. Ye Tian’s shameless clinging was just a way of conversation, she couldn’t stand the pointless bickering, she preferred something more straightforward, like a fight.

"For you, tonight, I want to give you a surprise. Maybe if you play it right, this bar might just become yours."

The cold Liu Liyue playfully winked at Ye Tian, then stood up and left the spot. Amidst the slow rock music of the bar’s resident singer, Liu Liyue and the redhead vanished into the crowd. Even with Ye Tian’s excellent vision, he couldn’t precisely pinpoint their exact location among such a large crowd and had to give up. As he was about to pick up his drink, the glass across shattered instantly. Under visible conditions, the conical water funnel drilled a hole through the glass, and the walls of the glass then spread out like a spiderweb, finally crumbling to the ground in the last moment.

The water flowed along the table, and droplets fell onto the ground, splashing onto his own feet.

This crazy woman!

"I always feel something is off."

Standing by the side, Xu Qingyang suddenly spoke, just as Ye Tian turned to look at him, he shook his head, negating his own words, "Maybe I’m overthinking it."

"What are you thinking, let’s hear it."

Xu Qingyang still shook his head, "I can’t quite explain it, but I have a bad feeling."

It’s unclear whether it was because of Xu Qingyang’s words or because they couldn’t make sense of the situation in this place. After finishing the drink in his glass, Ye Tian stood up, walked out of the bar, and the two drove off under the enveloping night toward Beiping City.

The suppressive aura of autumn, hidden by the sunlight during the day, was fully unleashed at night. If you paid close attention, you could feel the icy sensation constantly seeping into your body.

The plains were somewhat bearable, but the mountains were even worse.

Zhang Houtu was covered with thick camouflage grass, a large sniper rifle beside him. From here, he could overlook the entire Fengyue Lake villa district to a great extent. The specific location could be completely monitored with slight movements, as there wasn’t just one sniper position. Tonight, he was going to be busy.

It seemed that Ye Tian had really run into trouble, being directly raided at his base on his first mission. Zhang Houtu touched the moist soil on the ground and assessed the surrounding environment’s general conditions—wind speed, air humidity, distance, Earth’s gravity, etc. The data was all laid out in his mind. Soon, a group of swaying figures appeared in the sniper scope, not far from the entrance to Fengyue Lake’s villas in the nearby woods.

The crosshairs firmly locked onto the leader of the group, who seemed to be giving orders.

Zhang Houtu smiled and decided to wait for a while; one reason was to wait for a higher success rate when they dispersed, and secondly, he wanted to see what real skills or tricks that big guy at the entrance, who was almost as tough as him, actually had.

The group near the entrance seemed to have settled on a plan. About fifteen people split into three groups, heading in three different directions, bulging around their waists, likely hiding knives or similar tools; if their equipment had been better, they might have had handguns. Fortunately, this was still within a controllable atmosphere.

The three groups took various paths, all avoiding the main entrance.

Zhang Houtu calmly screwed a silencer onto the front of the gun barrel and then fixed the first person in the crosshairs of his scope.

"Pfft!" A soft sound. The person at the very back of the group fell, a hole the size of a finger left at the back of his head, his frontal skull blown away by the bullet that exited the back, with brain matter splashing over a meter away. Those in front didn’t turn back or realize they had lost a companion, nor did they sense that they were already targeted in the gun sights.

Picking up the bullet shell that fell on the ground, Zhang Houtu nonchalantly picked it up, then used a knife to mark a small notch on the shell—it was his habit. His record of kills was refreshed from today; previously at the Old Mountain frontline, he had used one hundred eighty-four bullets to take down one hundred eighty-three and a half enemies—the half was a person hit in the back of the neck, who did not die but was rendered a vegetable, counting as half a dead person.

When he looked through the scope again, a hint of a smile spread across his lips, as he noticed that the big man had disappeared, probably also realizing that something was wrong.

It seemed these two were not merely ornamental pillowcases.

Liu Liyue was not exactly a kind-hearted believer or one who held high the ethics of worldly society; aside from a few overwhelmingly powerful underworld leaders, no one else had caught her interest. Even that Qin family junior by her side was only fit to tag along, let alone Ye Tian, the small loach. Having been trafficked from place to place as a child prevented her from becoming a kind-hearted Bodhisattva revered by the world. Thus, she always believed that the phrase ’misfortune does not fall upon one’s kin’ was nonsense, merely an excuse made by the incompetent to justify their inadequacies.
