The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Chapter 208

"You only have one bullet in your gun, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s a modified armor-piercing bullet. Do you mean to use this single bullet to kill me and shatter both their shoulders at the same time?"

Suddenly, the shoulders of Xu Qingyang and Li Jing overlapped, shielding Ye Tian behind them.

Qin Gui remained unmoved. For someone skilled with firearms, determining how many bullets are in a gun by sound is hardly a difficult task.

Child’s play!

One eye had already closed.

Qin Gui was looking for the perfect angle, repeatedly searching his mind for that optimal point. How to use a single bullet to inflict maximum casualties had been a subject of his fascination these days, killing to such an extent nearly bordered on insanity.

Ye Tian gave him a glance and turned to leave, seemingly about to walk away.

A white, delicate little hand was resting on the silver handgun, causing Qin Gui to annoyedly lower the gun. Yet, he dared not defy the command of the aunt beside him, let alone blatantly shoot in front of her.

"Ye Tian, don’t think that I’ll let you off just like that. I can tell you very clearly, you are definitely going to die."

With his back turned to Liu Liyue, Ye Tian raised his right hand, his fingers pointing skyward, then suddenly all but the middle finger curled into a fist, leaving only the middle finger extended straight towards the Sky.

FUCK YOU!

"Sister Zheng, take care... I still think it was a mistake for you to toss me aside." The three of them walked out of the presidential suite that ranked second in height.

Zheng Xinru looked at this fine young man and ultimately shook her head; he was very promising, even one of the most talented she had seen over the years, but what Zheng Xinru needed was not that. Even a hundred Zhang Xiayangs combined couldn’t compare to one Ye Tian, but she would still choose the former for the loyalty Zhang Xiayang possessed. In this regard, the ambitious Ye Tian fell short.

Success or failure has never been about one’s own efforts; it’s all about whether the wielder of power decides to strike down with the rod of authority.

Zheng Xinru managed to suppress Ye Tian with a check and a house.

As for the alliance with Liu Liyue, Ye Tian really had no clue; had he not seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that these two women, with equally meticulous minds and ruthless methods, would come together – birds of a feather flock together. Perhaps she was afraid of being killed by him, so she sought out this woman’s help. The enemy of my enemy is my friend; on this point, Zheng Xinru was clearer than anyone.

The irony was that the three of them had come in triumph but all left in dejection. Although Ye Tian still wore a smile on his face, anyone could tell that his smile was uglier than crying.

After exiting Tianhe Hotel, the entrance was bustling with the flow of cars, and parked beside was a lineup of luxury cars sufficient for a grand car show, including a black Audi A4, understated yet imposing. Yet, at this moment, all these no longer belonged to Ye Tian.

"Li Jing, take this money for now. Ruoshui’s illness should soon be in the treatment phase. If it’s not enough, let me know." He reached into his chest and handed the check to Li Jing.

Li Jing accepted the check without a word or courtesy.

His life thus became wholly entrusted to Ye Tian. Li Ruoshui was everything to him, and he dared to risk his own life for someone who cherished it.

Ye Tian scratched his head and took quite a while before saying, "Alright, I feel much lighter now."

His arms, half-stretched to the sky, did not fully extend. It looked awkward, and even someone as thick-skinned as Ye Tian probably felt a bit hurt at the moment.

The sky was dark; a soft rumble rolled above, as a few raindrops fell. This autumn rain was a perfect mood accompaniment. Ye Tian looked upward, feeling nothing but the cool touch of raindrops on his face.

Alone, hunched over, he walked across the road without any possessions, only the persistent patting of rain on his body and splashes on his legs. Xu Qingyang wanted to follow him but was stopped by Li Jing at his side, "Let him have some peace by himself."

"I’m afraid..." Exactly what Xu Qingyang feared, he did not say.

The two stood opposite, watching Ye Tian walking further away step by step.

It’s always better to lick one’s wounds alone than to have others see them.

He hadn’t gone far when the figure of a woman holding an umbrella in front made Ye Tian stop in his tracks. He was all too familiar with that silhouette, yet at that moment, it felt so strange.

Once, I too wished to offer you a lifetime of glory, but in the blink of an eye, it turned to nothing.

Ye Tian wasn’t one who sought fame and fortune. Up until now, most of his efforts were made just to have a bare minimum of interaction with the military brass in Four-nine City, and that small remaining part was for the woman who never hesitated to give up everything to follow him. Sure, he could endure hardship and lie in wait beneath the scorching African sun for days and nights, and he wasn’t afraid of dying—a man can be a hero again after eighteen years. But what about his wife and kids? He can’t let them suffer alongside him.

He lifted his head, and two streaks of water traced his cheeks; it was unclear whether they were from his eyes or bestowed by God.

I only hate my own incompetence!

The umbrella-bearing figure approached until it stopped in front of Ye Tian.

"Got something in your eye?"

Ye Tian shook his head, "A fly got in."

Tang Su covered her mouth and chuckled, "That fly must be quite something, moving from one eye to the other."

Taking out a tissue, Tang Su carefully wiped the moisture at the corner of her man’s eyes, her own eyes filled with concern. She, of course, knew what her husband was busy with, and she also knew how heavy the burdens he carried were; the heavier the load, the harder the journey would be. She felt sorry for him, although she also knew that she might occupy only a small part in all that Ye Tian was doing.

Why did Tang Su have to appear before me right now? God, damn you!

Tang Su rested Ye Tian’s head on her shoulder, allowing him to lean on her, "Ye Tian, I know you work hard and that you are earnest. I, too, once thought of creating a life with my own hands—not for others, at least for myself. But since having you, I’ve come to realize that what a woman wants might not be a lot. Those women donning branded jewelry, sitting alone in a five-star hotel for a meal might not be as happy as a simple woman who cooks for herself after laboring with a hoe in the fields. A small house that’s not too big, raising a cute little dog, having a patch of land to grow vegetables, coming home to a bowl of rice and a dish of greens—that would be enough. I can give up everything, but I must have you, I absolutely must have you!"
