The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Chapter 207

The two people behind had such a powerful aura that one did not need any experiences or life lessons to see it; it was obvious to anyone with eyes. They were like two products with labels, clearly distinguishable in terms of who was superior and who was inferior.

Walking into the elevator, Ye Tian sourly curled his lips and turned around to address the two behind him, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought you guys along. You’ve completely stolen my thunder."

Xu Qingyang and his companion exchanged a look, tacitly understanding each other. Just as they were about to exit the elevator, Ye Tian saw this and quickly pulled them back with a smile, grudgingly saying, "Being the boss is really suffocating. No, no, I wasn’t talking about you..."

Tianhe Hotel, 60th floor, Zheng Xinru was on the 59th floor—not showing off, not taking the top spot, truly a person who knows how to keep a low profile.

Arriving at the room’s door, Ye Tian gave his clothes one final adjustment in front of the smooth, mirror-like glass door, then stretched out his hand to press the doorbell.

"Coming."

The person who opened the door was unknown to Ye Tian, but he felt somewhat familiar. With a polite smile, Ye Tian stepped inside, followed by the two accompanying him, Li Jing.

Liu Liyue.

How was she here?

And there was the slovenly Qin Gui, squatting on the floor, holding a silver Desert Eagle and fiddling with it repeatedly. His posture on the floor, if placed next to a toilet, would fit the exact posture of using a squat toilet; if a chipped porcelain bowl was put in his hand, he would resemble a begging beggar.

"Ye Tian, you’ve arrived? Have a seat."

Zheng Xinru sat on an imported Italian sofa, fitting well in this presidential suite, but at this moment in Ye Tian’s heart, there was a feeling that couldn’t rise up, stiflingly stuck in his chest, neither able to be spat out nor swallowed.

Liu Liyue stood in front of the aquarium, watching the small goldfish swimming inside, her eyes filled with disdain. Indeed, who else would raise sharks and snakes in their own aquarium like her?

Ye Tian nodded and walked over, sitting opposite Zheng Xinru. The empty seat next to her was obviously intended for Liu Liyue, but she had yet to sit down.

"Ye Tian, these days have been tough on you, helping the Chen family so much, and I haven’t had the chance to thank you properly."

"Heh, Sister Zheng, you are too polite. It’s what I should do."

"Mm. Oh, by the way, Zhang Xiayang is coming back tomorrow."

Wait a minute! Zhang Xiayang?

It was not only Ye Tian who realized something was amiss; Xu Qingyang and Li Jing also felt a touch of surprise, and seeing Zheng Xinru’s movements, they understood what was happening.

He had been sold out.

"Ye Tian, I won’t say too much in terms of thanks. Here is five million for you, and the villa at Fengyu Lake, they are all yours. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done for the Chen family these past days."

Everything became clear.

"Moreover, I’ve already taken care of things with the Liu Family. The people behind the Liu Family won’t trouble you, as long as you can leave Tianhe, everything else can be easily discussed."

This is the true mastermind! This is the master of killing without a trace! At this moment, Ye Tian realized that Zheng Xinru wasn’t foolish, but rather a fox trickier than Chen Pingrui. This woman had a perspective more daunting than any man, she had everything planned out for the future long ago; even if Ye Tian didn’t kill Liu Ping himself and just confined him somewhere, Zheng Xinru would definitely have killed Liu Ping anyway. It was an inevitable move.

And then they would devour the Liu Family together with Liu Liyue!

Dong Cheng, Zhen Yulin, Tang Kaitai, Ye Tian, Liu Ping... all played! Everyone was played!

Looking at Sister Zheng with a warm and gentle face, Ye Tian was stunned for a while before recovering, forcing a slight smile, "I have been nurtured by Mr. Chen, so naturally it’s my duty to work for the Chen family. As for everything else, the Chen family will have its own affairs to tend to. I will not bother you much longer. However, about leaving, allow me a few days to pack up. After all, I also have some belongings here."

The Audi A4’s car keys silently rested on the table, and Ye Tian slid the check from one end of the table to the other. The White He-tian jade table was indeed smooth, like baby skin—it’s just that such silkiness was indeed not a pleasant sensation for someone with icy fingertips. For the first time, Ye Tian, who never exposed his back to strangers, tasted the bitterness of being stabbed in the back. It was sour and bitter, and he had to swallow it.

All the efforts and hard work eventually came to naught. One on one, Ye Tian still had some chances of winning over Zhang Xiayang, especially with Li Jing and Xu Qingyang by his side. But in Tianhe, he dared not. How could his two months of accumulation compete with someone’s decade of preparations? A certain defeat! Without the restraint of Liu Family, Zhang Xiayang was even more unrestrained!

Living in this world, many people haven’t enjoyed much fortune but have suffered a lot. The sufferings that can be spoken of aren’t really an issue—it could even serve as a topic over drinks. But the harshest ones are those that can’t be talked about, like a fishbone stuck in the throat. They hurt, but you must swallow them down, keeping it to yourself.

The check in his hand was like that fishbone. Fortunately, Ye Tian had thick skin; he pocketed the check and smiled, looking at the woman standing in front of the aquarium in a black goose down cloak, "Is watching those fish interesting?"

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud. What’s so interesting about that?"

"True. Now that you mention it, it does sound quite dull. But wouldn’t it be interesting if small fish ate big fish, shrimp ate small fish, and mud buried the shrimp? Hehe."

There’s a desperate struggle in his remarks, perhaps this was his last verbal resistance.

Liu Liyue moved her eyes away from the aquarium, turned her head to look at Ye Tian, her feet in elaborately embroidered silk shoes elegantly silent. Qin Gui stood up, unlocking the safety of his pistol. It wasn’t clear who the downward-pointing gun barrel would target next.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingyang and Li Jing almost simultaneously stepped forward, shielding Ye Tian behind them, their swords unsheathed and positioned protectively in front of him.

Through the gap between the two, Ye Tian could see the serene figure of Liu Liyue opposite, resembling an amiable Bodhisattva, her hooked arching eyebrows very pleasing to the eye.

"Li Family from Jiangsu. A generation’s Sword God, truly a well-deserved reputation. It’s just a pity, following a lost dog. Consider it, how about joining me?"

Twirling the blood-colored glass crescent moon in her palm, her eyes moving back and forth between Xu Qingyang and Li Jing, Qin Gui behind her raised the pistol with its dark maw aiming at Ye Tian, through the gap between the two.
