The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 247

Chapter 247: 247

Watching the figure with the refreshing short haircut, Ye Tian silently muttered to himself in his heart, "I want it all!"

Those women who are sly like foxes are always so proud. Tan Xin is, Mo Yan is, and Liu Liyue is even more so than the former two, but that’s only in the eyes of ordinary people. In life, she never likes to mingle with people; she prefers watching the bloody battles between animals, the gory scenes that better stimulate the desires within her heart, satisfying the cravings deep in her yearning.

The four people sitting at the table are her card-playing buddies, some acquainted, some not. She enjoys the feeling of seeing through a person over trivial matters. Qin Gui has never seen her win much; it’s not that she never wins, she just wins very little. Although he doesn’t understand mahjong, he would never believe it if someone said Liu Liyue couldn’t beat anyone at cards.

The obese woman sitting opposite is a newly acquainted wife of a president, married for thirty years. Once a couple who struggled together, now they’re no more than strangers to each other. He has his mistress, and she has her lover. They just maintain a nominal status for appearance’s sake. The coquettish young man sitting beside her is a college graduate who was taken care of by someone during his sophomore year. He’s from the dance department, and reputedly good in bed, which makes sense since he’s a dance student after all. Liu Liyue doesn’t know the person sitting to the right; she was introduced by the obese woman. Liuyue wasn’t impressed at first glance until she saw the woman’s fervent eyes when winning money. That’s when she knew this woman was just another insect crawling in the pursuit of money.

"Something the matter?"

From the moment Qin Gui entered, Liu Liyue had noticed his unusually different expression. This guy usually has a cold demeanor, showing excitement only when faced with something thrilling.

"I just got news that a timed bomb was installed in Lin Jingran’s house. Ye Tian rushed over there and got shot in the arm."

"The person was sent by me."

With a simple sentence, it seemed as if what Qin Gui talked about was nothing but child’s play. Matters like guns and bombs were all trivial in the face of her mood.

Watching Liu Liyue’s indifferent expression, Qin Gui was puzzled. She had already promised Ye Tian to give him control over her venues for three years, which amounted to a form of indirect cooperation. Doing this, wouldn’t it harm her own interests?

"You think he can just take those venues away from me with a few words? I don’t respect him, not at all!"

Qin Gui said no more. Liu Liyue’s words made him suddenly feel useless. Even though Liu Liyue had always been indifferent to him, he always thought it was based on mutual understanding. But now, he realized he didn’t understand her at all, and she didn’t want him to understand her. These two were never from the same world; even if they lived in parallel universes, they would always be apart by an uncatchable time difference.

When the card game ended, the night had already cast a dark veil. The view from the fiftieth floor of Tianhe Hotel was naturally unmatched. Liu Liyue was accustomed to overlooking the whole of Tianhe with a glass of red wine at this time. She liked to look down on the world from high places, the same was true at the World Window, as well as at the Bund’s Jinmao Tower, wishing she could place all people and things beneath her feet. People with high pride all fantasize that one day the world will operate according to their will, but in the end, reality wears down their edges. Unlike them, Liu Liyue’s high pride was honed later in life, from being trafficked and shuffled around to various places. If it hadn’t been for that, she wouldn’t have been specifically chosen out of a dozen children by Jia Dafang as a girl, and her thirteen years of resentment wouldn’t have been wasted, eventually cultivating her into a once-in-eighty-years gangland overlord of the worldly society.

"They’re not calling the police, are they?" Regarding the last incident at the slow rock bar where the police were called, Liu Liyue was really surprised. Later, when she found out that a woman had called the police, Liu Liyue did not forgive Ye Tian’s oversight. Judging people inaccurately will lead to big trouble eventually.

Qin Gui shook his head, "No, after handling those matters there, he didn’t display any abnormal behavior. Judging by the direction they were heading, they probably went to the suburban dog fighting arena."

"Dog fighting arena? He just can’t let go of that juicy piece of fat. But, I never said I would give him the dog fighting arena."

The red wine flowed, slightly rich, with a mellow sweetness.

The dog fighting arena was started by Chen Pingru, originally as a personal hobby. Hunting with eagles and dog fighting, Eunuch Rui, the biggest mischievous character in Beiping City. Later, when he saw the immense profits from dog fighting, his mind began to lean slightly more towards it. Gambling is not allowed, and playing with things like dog fighting that ruin the social atmosphere and lead to moral degeneration, can’t just be started when someone wishes to. After ten years of significant development, Chen Pingrui turned what was initially just an amusing pastime into a large-scale dog fighting foundation. But this boss was not him; it was Luo Liang, whom he had pulled up with his own hands.

Ye Tian had not yet met this Luo Liang, nor did he know what sort of person he truly was. He had only heard Xu Qingyang say, "This man is a rat of the night." Perhaps in the eyes of those familiar with the worldly society, being called a rat of the night is the worst and most contemptible evaluation one could get.

The car kept driving to the suburban dog arena. Having seen the dog fighting ring in Huaizhou, Ye Tian didn’t look around like a country bumpkin stepping into the city for the first time.

"Brother Tian, you’re here?"

Ye Tian had already sent word ahead of his arrival. Luo Liang didn’t dare to make a move on him without seeing through him first. After all, a man who could take down the Liu Family was not someone he could easily provoke, nor was there any need to sour the relationship from the start; who could say what might happen in the future.

Seeing Luo Liang walking out, nodding and bowing, Ye Tian walked over with a smile, "Brother Liang, I appreciate you coming out in person, I hope it’s not causing you any trouble?"

"Not at all, not at all, this is Mr. Chen’s arena after all, I am just an assistant."

Ye Tian was quite content with this attitude.

"Brother Liang, go attend to your matters, I’ll just look around. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll call you."

"Alright then, coincidentally there is a dog fight today, if you’re interested, you can come and watch. Guang!"

Luo Liang called out, and a person in a work uniform came over, looking quite sharp, "Brother Tian, this is Guang, if you need anything, just tell him. You better be sharp, kid, serve Mr. Ye well, and there will be rewards for you."

Ye Tian couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated, "What do you mean serve? Just looking around, I’m not here to fool around with girls."
