The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 456 - 455

Chapter 456: 455

Listening devices are impossible, Ye Tian and his partner are both carrying anti-eavesdropping devices with them, it’s impossible to be eavesdropped on.

What’s going on then?

"Split up and search... There he is!"

Ye Tian yelled. He had no choice but to yell, as the guy was almost on the small boat.

Chu Tianying took off like an arrow, sprinting at a 100-meter dash pace, and directly got behind the man in the baseball cap, hugging him in his arms, regardless of the surprised looks from people around.

"Help! Help!"

"Hey, shut your trap! All your bird language still reeks of a Beijing accent, yet you try to pose as a cultured person!"

Two tall middle-aged men stepped forward and stood in the way. Great, met some do-gooders.

"Sir, are you alright?"

This person was looking at the baseball cap in Chu Tianying’s embrace as he asked this question, cautiously and carefully eyeing Chu Tianying, filled with vigilance and caution.

"Jack, stop making a scene, everyone is waiting for you."

Chu Tianying chuckled and tapped the guy’s head, then looked at the two men opposite, "We’re from the same tour group. He had a quarrel with his girlfriend so he left first, I just came to find him. Don’t believe it? Ask him."

The man glanced doubtfully towards the baseball cap. The latter forced a smile, "Thanks to the both of you, indeed, we are together."

The two white men grumbled as they walked away, sending their good wishes to the baseball cap and his girlfriend for a lifelong harmony.

"Hey bro, thanks for cooperating."

A blade retracted from between Chu Tianying’s fingers, a faint red mark visible on the major artery of the baseball cap’s neck. The arm around his neck withdrew. Baseball cap knew he had encountered a master. Even though he had some skills, he was beaten to a pulp just now. It was the transparent blade in Chu Tianying’s fingers that was snatched away when the baseball cap attempted a sneak attack.

No way, if you can’t fight them, join them. A true man can bend and stretch, humbling himself isn’t a big deal. Even Master Han crawled through under a butcher’s crotch. A bit of hardship was nothing compared to that.

Seeing Chu Tianying succeed, Ye Tian put away the fruit knife between his palms and slipped away, disappearing among the crowd.

...

Fake hair, false beard, two bronze caps on his front teeth, occasionally pretending to be a cripple, with blades hidden inside his baseball cap and some thin blades attached in his cuffs—a typical Beiping stealth disguise.

Stealth, commonly known as thief, and another elegant term for it, "thousand door," synonymous with swindler. In Beiping, it’s referred to as stealth, one of the 360 trades. To the older generation, there is still some impression of this trade, but now, it is almost extinct, leaving behind only the derogatory name of a thief.

Ye Tian looked at the pile of disguises in front of him, thought for a moment, and finally squeezed out a laugh, amazed that the legacy left by the old generation has reached overseas, perhaps it’s a form of spreading Huaxia’s culture.

"Cough, cough," Ye Tian coughed, steadying his expression, "Where are you from?"

"Mentougou."

He really is from within the country. Ye Tian got curious. Even if he came from within the country, someone must have taught him this craft.

"Where did you learn your skills from?"

"Wandering aimlessly on the skywalk, I bumped into an old man who took me as his apprentice and taught me a few things."

This kid was rather honest. After removing his fake hair and beard, from his facial features, this kid looked just to be in his teens, and probably realized he had screwed up this time; he was quite cooperative.

"Can’t your country feed you? Why did you run abroad to steal food? Without knowing anyone here, if people catch you, they’d beat you to death."

The kid didn’t care at all, "Us guys messing around on the skywalk live off our own skills. If our skills were no good, we wouldn’t need others to kill us, we’d starve to death. These foreigners are all idiots. They seem formidable, but are actually just shiny on the surface like donkey dung eggs. The brothers here relying on stealth all depend on me for a living. Without me, they’d still be trembling under their stockings during robberies."

Standing nearby leaning on the table, Chu Tianying found these things quite unfamiliar. He kicked around the pile of trash on the floor with his foot. It was all useless stuff, except maybe the translucent knife blade stolen, but that wasn’t anything too great either.

"Boss, what’s the deal with this kid? Sounds pretty mystical."

Ye Tian chuckled, clearly in a better mood because of this person, "In our Huaxia, there’s a saying about three religions and nine streams, and a saying that there’s an expert in every one of the three hundred and sixty trades. Being a soldier is one trade, doing business is another, being a doctor or a groom or even sweeping the streets is a trade too. Among these three hundred and sixty trades, there’s one known as ’undercover’, also commonly referred to as ’thief’."

Chu Tianying glanced disdainfully down at the kid in the baseball cap crouching in the corner, "So, he’s just a little thief. No wonder he looks sneaky."

The baseball cap ignored him, turning his head away without speaking.

"Hey, quite the tough bone."

Ye Tian then asked, "If I ask who your mentor is, would you say?"

"Stop nagging. If you’re a man, be straightforward. I can tell you’re no saints either, definitely have killed people before. Kill or slash as you wish, if I frown, I’ll be your grandson!"

Ye Tian was amused, "Still mouthy when facing death, kid. If you softened a bit, I’d spare you this time. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. A man can bend and stretch. It’s not worth risking your life in a fit of anger. You’re a fine young man of twenty, with all the good years ahead of you. Why are you so eager to talk about life and death? I’m just asking for your master’s name. I’m not forcing you, what are you anxious about?"

The baseball cap turned his head again and didn’t speak.

Ye Tian cleared his throat and took a sip of water, "I won’t ask anything else. You probably wouldn’t tell me anyway. I know enough of your rules. I have a friend who is a Master Level figure in your trade. I can tell you about him, do you want to hear it?"

The man didn’t respond, and Chu Tianying went up wanting to hit him but was stopped by Ye Tian.

"Why are you getting serious with him?"

Chu Tianying gave the baseball cap a glare, dragged a chair over, and sat down. Ye Tian also dragged over a chair but for the baseball cap to sit.

"Stop squatting, sit down and talk. This isn’t a police station."

The baseball cap didn’t stand on ceremony with him, those from the worldly society value efficiency. Ye Tian couldn’t help but silently praise him in his heart.
