The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 246

Chapter 246: 246

"Are you respecting hierarchy all around? I’d like to know who you’ve got above you and below you."

"Hehe, Mr. Ye, no need to fish for information from me. What you should know, you’ll naturally come to understand. What you shouldn’t know, I don’t know either. You better just come out obediently."

Ye Tian is not a fool. What if he’s shot the moment he steps out? Where would he go to reason his case? There wouldn’t even be a place for him to cry.

"What if I come out and you shoot me? I’m not Jackie Chan. If I had a hundred lives, I’d consider sparing fifty to play games with you!"

"Mr. Ye, stop stalling. If we continue pulling each other’s leg like this, it might drag on till tomorrow. You might not care, but I guess the two beauties at the door are getting impatient."

He hit the nail on the head. Ye Tian had always been puzzled; his intention was very clear, that was for the two women to go out first. Yet, Lin Jingran appeared unmoved, even stopping Chen Xing from opening the door a couple of times. Strange.

A violent shaking suddenly resounded in the bathroom. One could discern that the voice from earlier had now transformed into a heavy choking sound. Ye Tian curved his lips into a smile; finally, help had arrived.

When Lin Jingran picked up Ye Tian’s phone earlier, it was already showing Li Jing’s number. As clever as Li Jing is, how could he not know that Ye Tian had sent out a message? However, Ye Tian had no idea how he managed to scale this twenty-plus-story building.

Soon after, a handgun was thrown out of the bathroom. It seems Li Jing had subdued the man. Only when he saw Li Jing did Ye Tian walk out from the corner and into the bathroom, where he saw another man in a black suit on the floor, oozing dark blood from his mouth.

Ye Tian squatted down, wiped some of the blood from the corner of the man’s mouth, sniffed it under his nose—it was cyanide.

"He committed suicide by poisoning. There’s a cyanide capsule in his mouth."

Ye Tian nodded, then began searching the man’s body, actually finding something.

"This thing again? Planning to implant Red Flags all around the globe?"

Looking at the little red book in his hand, Ye Tian muttered. The thing found on those two Japanese men causing trouble at the bar was this, an organization referred to as the Sanqing Sect by Xu Qingyang. Ye Tian didn’t know when he had offended this organization, but this wasn’t just trouble—they were using a gun; it was a matter of life and death.

"Ye Tian, how’s your injury, is it serious?"

Incredibly, Chen Xing came over to check Ye Tian’s arm. While bowing her head, a glimpse of white at her chest could be seen. He wasn’t a gentleman, and he didn’t think he was wrong to steal a couple of glances. Initially intending to investigate further, when Li Jing saw Ye Tian’s drool trickling down, he flung himself on the couch, no longer caring about such messy situations.

"Cough, uh, that, I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s just a regular penetration wound, nothing serious, just a flesh wound."

Perhaps sensing Li Jing’s attitude, Ye Tian awkwardly coughed twice, subtly pocketing the little red book, then stood up and walked toward the door... there was nothing else but to wait for death.

Seeing Lin Jingran standing restlessly behind him, Ye Tian couldn’t think of anything that might comfort her. After all, she had called him over, even with criminals in her house. But Ye Tian didn’t blame her. Even if the man had shot him dead, he would have held no grudge. In truth, the most pitiful was this woman; with Chen Pingrui dead, they had become truly alone, mother and daughter. Apart from Ye Tian, who else could she call? Besides, the blood marks Lin Jingran left by pinching the back of his hand were also passing him a life-threatening signal. By calling him, she had used her body to block the shooting angle in the bathroom. In this sense, the woman was also protecting him with her life.

He truly couldn’t bring himself to hate this woman. He had no time for hate.

"Sister Lin, let me have him escort you out first, I’ll take care of everything here. Too many people here is not good." Ye Tian glanced at the leg sticking out from the bathroom.

Lin Jingran didn’t dare look, truly frightened. She had thought relying on Ye Tian might make future days safer, but unexpectedly, Ye Tian’s troubles surpassed even those of Chen Pingrui. She couldn’t bear thinking about safety, which was particularly intolerable to her.

Seeing she didn’t speak, Ye Tian turned his head, "Chen Xing, take your mom out first for a while. Li Jing, find them a hotel outside, they can stay there for tonight. Call Tuzi over. There’s basically nothing left to do at the villa."

Li Jing nodded. Lin Jingran glanced at the leg sticking out of the bathroom, her eyes fleeting momentarily before following Li Jing out, with Chen Xing trailing behind. As she passed by Ye Tian, he grabbed her.

"What?" Chen Xing was still her usual grumpy self. Although she had changed her hairstyle from the Golden Lion King style, her disposition hadn’t changed at all.

Ye Tian sized her up and said gravely, "Take good care of your mom. As her daughter, you should act like one and not always upset her."

Seeing Lin Jingran waiting for the elevator with Li Jing, Chen Xing suddenly felt she had aged a lot. Her once exquisite makeup now seemed so fragile. The woman who was once solely focused on how to attract men had also grabbed her hand when she entered and shielded her with her frail body.

Ye Tian saw a change in the rebellious girl’s eyes, and his expression softened. As long as her mind wavered, everything was negotiable. Perhaps seeing the joy on Ye Tian’s face, Chen Xing rolled her eyes at him, "Pfft, who do you think you are! Are you trying to hit on me or my mom? Pfft!"
