The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 466 - 465

Chapter 466: 465

When it was time to leave, Ye Tian caught the look he passed over, clearly a "let’s talk" gesture. Ye Tian saw it, then grinned, "Mr. Stein, what do you mean by winking at me? Are you asking me to talk outside? Why not just speak here?"

Jenny turned her head to look at Stein, who kept his cool with an unchanged expression and a slight smile, "Mr. Tian is quite humorous. Alright, Jenny, I’m leaving now. Bye. Mr. Tian, farewell."

...

During their conversation, Ye Tian learned that Jenny was actually a crazy fan of "Jane Eyre". She loved the female protagonist’s insane devotion and perseverance towards love; her self-attitude and seriousness. Over the years, she had the ability to win college scholarships, and to receive offers from Fortune 500 companies, but she still chose to volunteer, helping poor children, regardless of whether they were white-skinned, or orphans from enemy countries, all growing tenaciously under her care and shelter. She was willing to start from the bottom, even as low as the dust. Nepal is a country where Buddhism prevails, and cities like Kathmandu are filled with temples. Influenced by this, she was also a devout Buddhist, believing in the concept of destiny, convinced that in her life there is a Mr. Right waiting for her at some unknown time and space.

She believed Ye Tian was the one who was waiting for her. Hence, she was willing to give up everything to follow her happiness, just like the Jane Eyre in the novel.

What should he do now?

Ye Tian was not a sentimental person, but he was rather careless when it came to dealing with women. If this had been in the past, he might have given some comforting words, but from that woman who ran away with Xu Qingyang, he had also learned that women could be the most venomous of all, otherwise he wouldn’t have poisoned Tang Su.

Once bitten, twice shy! It was one thing to be bitten oneself, but quite another to be bitten by one’s most beloved woman. He dared not forget.

Chu Tianying looked at him and felt like slapping him.

He put down the photos he had been holding, tossed away the magnifying glass and the map, and moved a chair to sit opposite Ye Tian, looking at him lying on the bed, and said, "Captain, there is something I don’t know if I should say."

"Don’t say it."

"...I shouldn’t have butted in!"

Chu Tianying symbolically slapped himself on the face, but it didn’t garner any sympathy from Ye Tian, "Go ahead and hit! I’m not deaf; I didn’t hear any noise."

Listen to this, is this what people say?

"I think about it, and feel I should still say it."

Ye Tian turned over, propping his head on one arm. The other hand was playing with a key, which he had taken from the cave and kept on him, just to keep a memento. It was a relic of his predecessors in the Dragon Team, and it was his duty to preserve it, maybe handing it over to their descendants someday.

"That girl has taken a liking to you, that is your good fortune, you shouldn’t be picky. Look at us, no house, no car, and shameless too; nobody fancies us, we couldn’t even get a girl to take a proper look at us..."

"Who’s ’us’ with you? That’s your business, don’t lump me in with you ’us us us’.

Ye Tian kicked out a leg, which Chu Tianying dodged, tidying up his slightly wrinkled clothes and continuing to explain, "There’s something I have to clarify with you, don’t be so unconcerned, I’m talking about the item in this photo."

His spirits lifted a bit, but not holding much hope, Ye Tian glanced at him, "You know about this thing?"

"Actually, I came here just for this thing. If that guy named Qiao hadn’t found us, I was planning to go it alone."

"Don’t give me that crap, you didn’t invite me here without the idea of screwing me over."

Chu Tianying argued, "I did it for your own good..."

"Do you want me to smack you?!"

"...I believe you would. But I still have to talk about this; otherwise, we can’t get it done."

Ye Tian, seeing that he wasn’t joking, sat down on the edge of the bed and casually shoved the keys into his pocket, while sternly staring at Chu Tianying, "If you can’t give me a clear explanation, I will throw you out of here. See that trash can by the door? It’s just the right size for you."

"I see it," Chu Tianying swallowed hard.

Ye Tian gave him a cold look, waiting for him to explain.

Since the beginning, when meeting Chu Tianying during the drug dealer roundup, Ye Tian felt that this guy definitely had some secrets. It’s true he worked as a mercenary, a path many ex-military take, and generally the best way out. He had the Fire Control Skill; Ye Tian didn’t blame him for that, after all, wasn’t he himself unkillable too? But the vibe that guy gave off wasn’t to his liking; it was like a night owl crouching on a beam in the dark, watching the Nightlife outside, somewhat ghostly.

His comrades in arms were all people who would exchange their lives for his, they shouldn’t be deceiving him here. It’s not exactly deception, maybe he had his own difficulties, but what he really couldn’t stand was this kind of concealment. "If there’s something, just tell me. What problem can’t be solved between brothers?"

But he just wouldn’t speak, leaving Ye Tian feeling helpless.

He knew that Chu Tianying was fixated on something to do with the Ministry of Commerce, but that was only part of what had been disclosed to Ye Tian. What Ye Tian cared more about was the part he hadn’t spoken about, that hidden part. Their brotherhood shouldn’t be something that could merely be described in simple words; it should be something that’s called out with heart.

"Alright, just say it. What exactly are you hiding from me?"

Chu Tianying cracked a smile, "I’m feeling quite pressured with all this seriousness."

"Get lost, drop the silly grin, and talk business."

Ye Tian took a cigarette out of the box on the table, only to find there was no lighter. Chu Tianying stretched out his right hand, rubbed his index finger and middle finger together, and a small wisp of blue flame appeared between them. Although Ye Tian was inwardly amazed, he didn’t show too much emotion. He knew this kid too well – give him a bit of sunshine, and he’d be radiant, throw him a broken basket, and he’d squat in it and lay an egg.

"Enough, Captain, surprised, aren’t you? You can’t change your pretentious ways. Can’t you speak without being choked?"

Chu Tianying released his fingers, and the blue flame naturally went out.

Ye Tian took a puff of the cigarette, blowing out a ring of smoke, and spoke lightly, "Enough about me, let’s talk about you. What’s going on?"

Chu Tianying also lit a cigarette for himself, his calm demeanor quite irritating.

"I’ve told you before, I’ve been working for the Americans, taking their money and solving some dirty problems for them. Not that I need to mention it, you should know all about it. We’ve dealt with such things more than enough in the past. But this time it’s different. The last bunch of drug traffickers I was following, they had another team handling the job. So, I killed that guy and then I legitimately came over here to ’help’; and then, continued ’helping,’ which led me all the way here, to Nepal, to continue assisting them."
