The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 228

Chapter 228: 228

Ye Tian watched the fellow with an acceptable appearance charging at him and a hint of a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Military might followed by courtesy was his favorite approach, because it felt more exhilarating to beat someone that way, free of guilt, and he could do whatever he wanted, such as chopping off fingers, dislocating bones—it was simply ecstatic.

Chu Tianyi thought Ye Tian was petrified standing in front of her without moving, assuming he had frozen in fear, but when she tried to rush forward, wielding a wine bottle with all her might, she was stopped by Ye Tian’s large hand.

So this guy wasn’t dazed after all.

Nobody saw where the man in the Zhongshan suit had come from; all they saw was the guy in the white shirt get halfway before he was abruptly hoisted into the air by someone. The white shirt wrapped around the assailant a few times, then was violently thrown over ten meters away, shattering several tea table glasses. Stick, pull, drag, twist, throw—all in one breath. The onlookers couldn’t make out Li Jing’s technique, but they witnessed a full-grown man being manipulated into a spectacle, as if it was Jet Li himself, executing a move seamlessly in a martial arts film, efficient without dragging it out.

Following the thunderous sound of glass shattering, the scene fell deathly silent, even the DJ forgot his hand movements, just staring blankly at the person who had burst onto the scene.

Astoundingly grand opening, astoundingly grand finale.

Ye Tian turned around and said to the stunned Chu Tianyi behind him, "Don’t just stand there, do what you need to; I don’t need to tell you, right?"

Seeing the smiling fellow before her, Chu Tianyi suddenly felt a chilling sensation. However, being a tomboy herself and more familiar with the place than him, she quickly composed herself, threw a glance at Ye Tian, unwillingly turned around and walked out. She picked up the microphone from the singer on the stage and announced loudly, "The incident just now was a performance meticulously prepared by our nightclub, the revelry continues tonight, and all drinks are on the house!"

A wave of frenzied cheers erupted, she gave the DJ a meaningful look, and the aggressive music started playing again, complementing the exceedingly enthusiastic atmosphere; the crowd quickly plunged into a surging sea of people, gyrating bodies creating a spectacle akin to a carnival in Hell.

Ye Tian glanced at the white shirt still lying in the distance, then walked over; Chu Tianyi didn’t follow, she still had her duties as nightclub manager to attend to.

"You... you..." The white shirt was covered in red wine and white glass shards, with a bloody gash on his head spilling blood down his face, blurring his vision.

Looking down at the white shirt on the ground, Ye Tian’s expression was indifferent as his hands were casually in his pockets, as if he were looking at a dead dog. Dead dogs aren’t worth looking at; what matters is the person behind the dog.

Ye Tian turned and walked over, recognizing the familiar face surrounded by several people; it was obviously this person who was the main character of the moment.

"Young Master Tan, long time no see."

"Indeed, it has been a long time. Shall we sit and catch up?"

"Of course."

The people around Tan Xin made room for him to sit, and there was nobody present who didn’t know what sort of person Ye Tian was. How did he rise from obscurity to join the ranks of Tianhe City’s tyrants overnight? It was puzzling. Everyone watched, wondering how these two nearly equal yet radically different people would carry out this first confrontation.

Ye Tian leisurely poured himself a drink, not much, just half a glass of champagne, which seemed somewhat petty compared to Tan Xin’s full glass.

"Cheers."

"Forget it, my alcohol tolerance is poor, I can only handle half a glass."

"I can also only handle half a glass, so I’ve only poured half."

Ye Tian picked up his glass and proactively clinked it with Tan Xin’s, the glasses making a crisp sound. Ye Tian gestured with his glass, then downed his drink in one go. Tan Xin watched him, shook her head with a smile, and then also drained the glass, a full one. When he set down the glass, everyone around him tensed for him, knowing that the young master of the Tan Family was a good kid who neither smoked nor drank. Although they didn’t know why he felt compelled to finish a whole glass of alcohol this time, everybody understood that this issue couldn’t be resolved with just a few words.

The Tan Family and the Tang Family were publicly acknowledged as the best match for a marriage alliance. Old Mr. Tan’s extraordinary political influence could provide protection for Tang Guoqing, and the Tan Family could also gain additional power, which was something Tan Xin alone was far from achieving. He was young and would face many difficulties in the future; he needed someone with the ability and status to protect him. Tan Yaozong was not suitable; they needed to rely on outsiders’ power.

The combined forces would definitely result in more than just a simple sum of one plus one. However, the sudden appearance of Ye Tian turned all these well-calculated plans upside down, catching everyone by surprise.

Having one’s betrothed snatched away is perhaps the most depressing thing for any man.

"He is my friend, and I apologize on his behalf for what just happened."

The man who caused the trouble earlier in the white shirt was propped up by his companions, his face smeared with blood, standing shakily, his legs trembling.

Ye Tian poured himself another half glass and, holding it up to the man, said, "Brother, I was also at fault for what happened just now. Like Young Master Tan, I offer an apology on behalf of my brother."

Again, a half glass, not more, not less.

Tan Xin looked at him, the emotion in his eyes complex, and after a long pause, he finally stood up. "Boss Ye, it’s getting late. I’ll take my leave. If there’s anything in the future, we’ll get in touch."

"Young Master Tan won’t stay a bit longer? I have things here that can’t be found elsewhere," Ye Tian said, leaning back on the sofa, his expression somewhat playful.

Tan Xin didn’t speak, and walked out of the bar with a group of people following. The words "Slow Beat" above the door flashed with LED lights, casting various colors on these people in a chaotic and dazzling manner. Ye Tian watched them get into the car and drive away before turning back. Xu Qingyang and Li Jing had been standing not too far behind Ye Tian all along.

"Should we follow them?" Xu Qingyang asked, sensing something unsettling about that man named Tan Xin.

Li Jing did not speak; he was a man of action. Whatever decision Ye Tian made, he would be ten times as dedicated to carrying it out.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Ye Tian still shook his head, "No need, just focus on our own affairs."

The Tan Family was not something he could touch, at least not now when he was far from being on a level to confront them, he didn’t even have the privilege to talk. The Tan Family still had another, Tan Xiao, who nearly controlled much of Tianhe City’s economy, be it electricity or coal, even Zhongtie Company had her hand in it. What position she held, he wasn’t clear, but it was definitely not something a bar could contend with – his place didn’t amount to a trifle compared to what they could flick from their fingers. What could you possibly use to compete with them?
