The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 193

"Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer any loss. Whatever Liu Ping has given you, I will give the same. You don’t need to compare the terms between the two of us or decide who has the better prospects for future development. I can tell you outright, Liu Ping will sooner or later be bitten to death by me. Dong Cheng was killed by me, the dog has been beaten to death, and its owner will soon follow."

Zhen Yulin shivered, not daring to raise his head to look at him, while Li Jing glanced over here, said nothing, and then continued to watch the crowd in the dance floor, and more security guards rushing upstairs.

"Your friends are coming, so I’ll leave first. I hope you’ll seriously consider my proposal. If you’re still worried, tell Liu Ping as we previously agreed, that I will be waiting for him on Nanshan the night after tomorrow."

Dodging the crowd coming up, Ye Tian and Li Jing descended another staircase until they disappeared deep into the crowd and exited the door.

Zhen Yulin’s complexion grew darker, and after dismissing the people around him, he sneaked out his phone to make a call.

"Young Master Liu, Ye Tian was here just now, he asked me to relay a message to you that there will be a decisive battle on Nanshan the day after tomorrow, and he also said he wants to fight to the death with you!"

"Did he really say that?"

The voice on the other end made Zhen Yulin sweat profusely, but he steadied himself and nodded, "Absolutely true. He came with someone and injured several of my men, insisting that I give him the position of the nightclub owner."

"...I see. Try to settle that matter as soon as possible, and don’t try any tricks with me, I will give you what I promised."

A sly smile appeared on Zhen Yulin’s face, although his tone was amicable, the expression made one feel chilly.

The black Audi continued towards the Huairou district of Beiping City. It was only a few hours’ drive, not that Ye Tian liked the hassle, but there were too few places in Tianhe where he could settle in. Chen Pingrui’s companies here are not few, but as an outsider, without Zheng Xinru’s notice, he dared not rashly take the lead—getting his head chopped off or backstabbed would be his own pain.

When weighing his own losses and gains, he was always clearer than anyone else.

"Just leave like this?"

Li Jing, who was driving, had taken the money, so he did his job well, driving was something naturally left to his subordinates.

Ye Tian watched the streetlights flashing by the window and said, "Zhen Yulin is an old fox, he knows exactly what to do. Even Chen Pingrui could be fooled by him, I admit I’m not at his level yet. But dealing with him isn’t hard. Since he is close to Liu Ping, it’s merely because Liu Ping promised him some benefits, ultimately, it’s all about money. If I can offer him more, or at least more than Liu Ping, then I can keep him on my side. Right now, it’s better to minimize the trouble. Liu Ping is the biggest threat, and that Liu Liyue, is not an ordinary character either."

Li Jing nodded his head, not sure if he understood what Ye Tian was saying.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. How is Ruoshui doing, is her mood okay? Is she accustomed to her new living place? The geographical differences between the north and south are too great, I looked for a long time before finding that place, you guys just make do for now. The weather is going to turn colder soon, and it might be a bit colder than where you folks are from, I’ll try to find you a more comfortable place."

Li Jing nodded, "It would be much better if we could live near water."

"Yes, that makes sense, there’s more water in the south. Alright, I will look further, I remember there’s a nice apartment here, and a river flows by there."

Ye Tian was pleased with Li Jing’s straightforwardness; he was not afraid of demands, what he feared was someone not needing anything; that was truly the hardest to deal with. Among the people surrounding him now, none was easy to handle; Zhang Daniu and Xu Qingyang came for Zhang Xiayang, and once the Chen family’s matters were settled, their obligation would almost be repaid. By then, Ye Tian wasn’t confident he could keep them, while the formidable person standing before him was staying here solely for his sister; according to Pig Hu, without Li Ruoshui, Li Jing would have beaten him crippled, and if he could not find the Ziwei Soft Sword, Li Jing would have beaten him to death.

Such a headache.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Ye Tian forced back the sleepiness, lowered his head, and scrolled through his phone, the blue glow of the screen didn’t necessarily invigorate him, but it offered some relief from the surrounding darkness.

He struggled until 4 A.M., finally arriving at the Fengyue Lake villa, where Ye Tian lay in his seat, tilting his head for a quick nap.

Zheng Xinru was an early riser; she saw someone in a white practice outfit practicing Tai Chi by Fengyue Lake just after 5 A.M. Li Jing woke Ye Tian up and pointed at the person practicing by the lake, "She’s over there."

A mere hour of sleep was not enough to replenish all his energy, but it was enough to sustain him for a little while. Ye Tian rubbed his face, coughed, cleared his throat, and spiritedly walked towards the lake. The early autumn morning was quite chilly; a breeze blew by, instantly waking Ye Tian, who then walked with a smile towards the person practicing Tai Chi by the lake.

Tai Chi from Huaxia had gained international fame, especially in recent years with the export of Huaxia’s martial arts films triggering a wave of interest in Huaxia Kung Fu internationally. What Zheng Xinru was practicing was the most common form of Chen’s Tai Chi, originating from the village of Changyang in Wenxian, Henan. Ye Tian silently stood aside, waiting for Zheng Xinru to finish her set.

Everyone knew Chen Pingrui’s Audi A4, and Zheng Xinru had seen the car long ago; seeing the dew on the car roof, she knew Ye Tian had been waiting here for a while, which increased her favorable impression of this young man, but at the same time, her wariness towards him also increased. The biggest disadvantage of a double-edged sword is that it’s more likely to hurt the wielder.

"How is my form?" she asked.

Zheng Xinru performed a Wild Horse Splitting Manes, striding forward while pushing out both palms simultaneously, looking quite convincing.

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, "Sister Zheng, I don’t understand these things."

"You don’t have to understand the form to watch it, just like people who watch movies don’t necessarily know how to make movies," Zheng Xinru continued while practicing, "The set I’m performing is the most common Twenty-four Forms, also the most clichéd style. Imitating Dong Shi in her admiration of Xi Shi, I’m just following the trend, casually participating in the buzz."

"Tai Chi is all about cultivating oneself, whether it’s authentic or not is a minor issue."

"A misnomer does not facilitate proper discourse; this is not a small matter."

Ye Tian knew she had more to say, looked down, and spoke, "Please enlighten me, Sister Zheng."
