The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 245

Chapter 245: 245

The sharp, needle-like pain from the back of his hand almost made him retract his arm, this sudden onslaught of pain induced a greater sense of fear, causing one to involuntarily scream or react protectively, hard to control consciously.

"Thank you, Sister Lin." Ye Tian smiled slightly while calmly bringing the teacup to his mouth and taking a sip, "Tsk tsk, good tea, I’ll have to take some with me when I leave."

"Hehe, no problem, I don’t like tea anyway. You can take it if you like. Last time I didn’t serve you well for the meal, consider this a compensation for that." Lin Jingran said as she walked into the room and came back with a green cylindrical box, the surface wrapped in green tea leaves.

Ye Tian kept one hand in his pocket and continued to sip his tea with the other, blowing on it to cool it down, "Sister Lin, leave the tea for now, and please call Chen Xing quickly or she might miss her flight."

"Alright, I will call now. You sit for a while, and be careful... uh, don’t burn yourself with the tea."

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Lin Jingran dialed the mobile number, stood in the living room, and watched Ye Tian while she called.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat eerie, with one person walking around talking on the phone, and another leisurely drinking tea on the sofa. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss, but upon closer inspection, there was an indescribable awkwardness. The irrational feeling in a seemingly rational situation is exactly what this is.

"Sister Lin, Chen Xing is not upset with you again, is she? Probably blacklisted you like last time. Here, use my phone, she wouldn’t have blocked my number, she doesn’t even know my number."

Lin Jingran chuckled, "Thank you for the trouble."

Taking Ye Tian’s phone, she pressed a few keys, then paced back and forth with the phone to her ear, a worried expression on her face, muttering, "Where has that silly child run off to, why isn’t she answering?"

"Can’t get through?"

"No... it connected," Lin Jingran signaled Ye Tian with a gesture to keep quiet, "Hello, Xing, why haven’t you returned? Don’t miss your flight. It’s my fault, I won’t scold you anymore, just come back first, Ye Tian is waiting..."

"Click," the sound of the door lock, and the person who entered was Chen Xing, carrying a big bag, walked in, changed into slippers, and only when she closed the door and turned around did she see Ye Tian sitting on the sofa and Lin Jingran with the phone.

"Ye Tian? When did you get here?"

The atmosphere turned weird, the three of them looked at each other, with Lin Jingran’s face still pressed against the phone.

In the blink of an eye, a storm unleashed.

Without even a moment to think, Ye Tian instinctively dove towards Lin Jingran. In an instant, two muffled "thuds" were heard, sounds only a silencer could produce, nearly grazing his scalp, and Ye Tian immediately recognized the sensation—this deadly intent.

Thumping to the ground, Ye Tian did not hesitate, tightly wrapped around Lin Jingran, they rolled on the floor until reaching Chen Xing’s feet. This was a narrow space with thick walls on either side and the wall in front of the door belonging to the guest bedroom, where no one could hide. Moreover, judging by the angle of the bullets, the shooter must be hiding in the direction of the bathroom. Anyway, near the door was currently the safest spot.

Chen Xing had no idea what had happened, only seeing Ye Tian rolling with her mom on the floor, rolling all the way to her feet.

"You... what are you doing!"

Although Chen Xing did not have much malice towards Ye Tian, he couldn’t stand seeing him getting cozy with his own mother right in front of him and rolling around on the carpet!

"Ye Tian, get the hell out!"

Chen Xing had no idea why Ye Tian, as if facing a great enemy, positioned himself between him and his mother. Fury surged in his heart, and he kicked out powerfully, hitting Ye Tian’s back. The sharp heel of the high-heeled shoe stabbed into Ye Tian’s back, sending a sharp pain through him, and Ye Tian’s body lunged forward.

"Phut!"

"Phut!"

"Phut!"

Viper pistol, a close-range handgun standard issue for foreign presidents, powerful and compact, can penetrate a one-centimeter thick steel plate directly, uses 9X26 mm caliber bullets, with a magazine capacity of 18 rounds, easily penetrating soft body armor within 50 meters.

Hearing the gunshots, all the sensitivity towards firearms Ye Tian developed on the battlefield came alive in his mind, a series of precise data unfolded in his mind like a list.

Three large holes appeared on the floor and wall, and Ye Tian hurriedly hid behind a wall, exactly a design dead angle of a bathroom facing outward, where he could see Lin Jingran and her daughter face to face.

Seeing the fresh blood flowing from Ye Tian’s arm, Chen Xing realized that the situation might not be as simple as Ye Tian rolling around on the carpet with his mother.

Seeing the anxious expressions on Chen Xing and Lin Jingran, Ye Tian put his finger to his lips, signaling them to keep quiet, then pointed towards the door, indicating they should leave first.

"Mr Ye, can we talk?" Ye Tian, who was gesturing with his hand, suddenly froze. This voice... it was altered.

Who needs to alter their voice? It must be someone familiar, if not a familiar person, then at least someone intending to conceal their identity.

More and more ’friends’ now.

"Mr Ye, I won’t lie, someone paid us to find trouble with you. We were compelled, as the saying goes, receive money to ward off disasters for others, we’re just pawns, hoping you won’t make it too difficult for us."

"You mean, we can have a chat then?" Ye Tian could hear the softness in that person’s tone; it seemed they were not bent on killing.

"Mr Ye, of course, we can talk, it all depends on how you want to talk. Sitting down, having a drink and talking, that would be ideal. If you want to get tough, I admit I’m not your match. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone through great effort to call you here."

When Ye Tian heard this, he saw Lin Jingran turn her face away from the corner of his eye; obviously, she knew about this beforehand.

"Well then, let’s have a good talk."

"Mr Ye, I know you’re formidable. The moment I step out, even with a gun in my hand, I’m no match for you. Can’t bring you back, it won’t be easy to explain to both sides, right? So, it’s better if you walk out with your hands up and let someone tie you up."
