The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 224: 224

"Do you know how to drive?"

Zhang Daniu shook his head, "No."

"...Then why did you drop me off here!"

When he placed his hands back on the steering wheel, a sharp pain suddenly surged, and it took a while to subside.

That day, Ye Tian was shot twice, then killed a man. Zhang Daniu looked at the man sweating continuously before him, and couldn’t help but think of his own younger brother, paranoid and crazy, never resting until his goal was achieved. It was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Who knows what he might do.

Probably Zuo Zhengyang never expected to see Ye Tian standing stupidly before him, nor had Ye Tian ever imagined standing casually before the Secretary of the Communist Party of Tianhe City.

The two unexpected encounters thus oddly faced each other.

Zuo Zhengyang had just woken up from his afternoon nap, and to his surprise, the first person he saw was the one who had turned Tianhe City upside down. He also blamed Zheng Xinru in his heart for not handling things well; had Zhang Xiayang not been ordered to kill him, why was he still standing here?

In the study, Ye Tian didn’t recognize any of the furnishings, but many were seen in Chen Pingrui’s Fengyu Inn. According to Li Jing, these were items money couldn’t buy.

"Speak directly if you have something to say. I’m pressed for time; all these documents need to be reviewed by seven. I’ll give you... five minutes."

Ye Tian was unapologetic, directly saying, "I want to take over the affairs of the Chen family. It was wrong of me to handle the Liu family’s matters poorly; I will do my utmost to handle them well. Anything Zhang Xiayang has, I have too; what he doesn’t have, I also possess. A shaky foundation isn’t frightening. What’s scary is a foundation that seems solid but crumbles easily. What I can do is to eliminate all residual dangers and ensure that an incident like Chen Pingrui never happens again."

The study fell silent; Ye Tian dared not breathe, feeling very uncomfortable in such an environment.

Zuo Zhengyang was looking at the documents, his gaze only on Ye Tian’s black and white mottled hair.

"Finished? If you’re done, get lost!"

Without looking up, his pen still scribbling on the documents. Ye Tian glanced at him, his mouth twitching slightly, then turned around and left.

That hunched figure resembled a bent bow.

Zhang Daniu watched as Ye Tian, shoulders drooping, walked out despondently, appearing very exhausted, visibly diminished in stature.

"How did it go?"

Ye Tian shook his head, leaning against the car, and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it silently.

"Not a glimmer of hope?"

He shook his head again but remained silent.

Zhang Daniu thought for a moment, then pulled out a meter-long iron bar from the back of the car and held it in his hand, "You go first, I’ll go. Remember, if I die, bury me and Xiayang together. I watched him grow up. Over there, I must also watch over his rebirth."

Ye Tian grabbed Zhang Daniu, who was about to turn away, and gave a bitter smile, "Stop talking about death. None of us can die, not one. Wait for me."

The hunched figure went inside again, leaving Zhang Daniu frozen in place behind.

Everyone understood, Tianhe City was about to change.

The Liu family’s assets were quickly divided, with the Chen family taking the lead. The face of the Chen family was none other than Ye Tian. From then on, everyone in the underworld knew that Tianhe City had gained a significant new figure, a man with a crew cut, a peasant’s face, and a lean frame, but who had a large, fierce man beside him.

At the top floor of Binhai Tower, in Zheng Xinru’s office, the spacious office seemed brighter with the large floor-to-ceiling windows increasing the light intake. Zheng Xinru sat behind the desk, processing the last document, while the young man with a crew cut sat in front of her.

"How’s the cleaning up going? Encountered anyone difficult?"

"Quite alright; everyone values their lives and won’t exchange a ruined Liu family for a better opportunity. If it doesn’t work, showing a little brutal example is enough."

"Be careful, and make sure there are no mistakes. Take these documents, review them. If something is unclear, come ask me tomorrow."

Ye Tian nodded, appearing to recall something, he asked, "Sister Zheng, should we talk again to Secretary Zuo about the casino matters..."

"Secretary Zuo? What Secretary Zuo?"

Ye Tian shut his mouth, saying nothing more.

Zheng Xinru supported her chin with her hands, gazing intently at Ye Tian before her, and spoke word by word, "Ye Tian, remember this, we are the Chen family, Binhai Industrial, not anyone else. We are always just ourselves, no Secretary Zuo, no partners."

"I remember, Sister Zheng."

"You know it, but you haven’t taken it to heart. If anything goes wrong, we’re the closest to the source and simultaneously the safest yet most dangerous link. Cutting off the source is always an option. In other words, when it gets too tough, our demise is the most convenient solution."

That’s how Chen Pingrui died. With such an example before him, Ye Tian did not want to be the next Chen Pingrui, and neither did Zheng Xinru.

"I understand, Sister Zheng."

Staring at Ye Tian for a long while, Zheng Xinru finally withdrew her gaze, "Alright, go ahead. I guess your little bride at home is also anxious. When you have your celebration, make sure to invite me."

Ye Tian nodded, a smile spreading across his face, which lasted all the way to the elevator outside where Zhang Daniu stood guard.

"Let’s go, head home."

The white Lexus sped down the road, watching Zhang Daniu, now adept at driving, Ye Tian smiled, leaning back in his seat, pondering his affairs.

After obtaining Zheng Xinru’s approval, Ye Tian brought Tang Su and Li Ruoshui over, making temporary arrangements here. Though Tang Su thought about buying a house, she was not ready for the future plans yet and had to temporarily stay here.

Although the situation had initially stabilized, it was not yet completely secure. Zheng Xinru once mentioned that if Tianhe had only one Chen family and one Liu family, it wouldn’t be in its current state. If Chen Pingrui and Liu Laogou each took a step back, life would definitely be easier than now. The real boss of Tianhe City belonged to the Tan family, especially Tan Xiao, known as the "Tan Family General." Most of the Tan family’s major businesses, including those with the "state" enterprise label, bore her influence. Although the Tan family had considered dominating Tianhe, they never succeeded. Limited energy was part of the reason; the main factor was the constraints from both the Chen and Liu families—any move against either would undoubtedly allow the other to profit from the ensuing chaos. As shrewd as Tan Xiao, she would not act rashly without
