The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85

"Ye Tian." Seeing Tan Xiao looking at him, Ye Tian wasn’t intimidated and introduced himself directly, "I work under Manager Tang."

Tang Su. Hearing these two words, and then glancing at Tan Xin standing by the side, everyone seemed to catch on—wasn’t this the Miss Tang Family that Tan Xin fervently pursued? Had a competitor entered the scene?

Everyone looked at each other and, in the end, their gazes returned to Tan Xin.

"Sit, sit, sit, we’re all about the same age, no need to be so formal." Tan Xin, embarrassed by everyone staring at him, dragged over a few cushions to sit on the ground, avoiding those gazes.

"Tan Xin, this isn’t right. We’re about to depart, and according to the plan, we can only add one more person at most."

"Yeah, not just anyone can enter the West Mountain."

"Without rigorous training, it’s easy to suffer."

Most people seemed to get the message and began to echo the sentiment. They had to give Comrade Tan Xin a chance, and the obstacle was this guy named Ye Tian. Since the siblings were too shy to speak up, others had to lend a hand.

Ye Tian looked at the person who said "we can only add one person" and smiled, "Your blueprint has errors. The configuration of the covering fire isn’t arranged like that. The so-called ’cross-fire’ isn’t just about the intersection of two straight lines; it also needs to coordinate with the ground, the air, and even the parallel spaces across the universe to be truly considered ’cross-fire.’ You got this blueprint from those military forums on the internet, right?"

The man was startled, then asked foolishly, "How did you know?"

"Some knowledge from the forums can be useful, possibly provided by retired soldiers or military enthusiasts, but most of it is hearsay. It’s fine to play around with normally, but don’t rashly use it when it counts."

"Do you know how to break in then?" As if possessed, the man actually handed the blueprint over to Ye Tian. Everyone else wanted to stop him but couldn’t.

Ye Tian shook his head, the smile disappearing from the corner of his mouth, "This... can only be judged after an on-site inspection."

Rich kids start off with high baselines, no need to pour all their time into the fame and fortune that ordinary people pursue. That’s an advantage, but also a weakness. Without the core drive to strive, the shell always feels somewhat empty. And in that emptiness, some people get creative with ways to occupy themselves.

Tan Xin and the others are just those kinds of restless rich kids.

The West Mountain area of Tianhe City has the most complete live-action CS field in the country. Being the best in the country comes with a hefty price tag; naturally, most of those who play are rich kids. Tan Xin and the group’s aim is—to take down the field.

When Ye Tian learned the group’s true purpose, he couldn’t help but laugh, asking, "Why would you want to mess with someone who’s running their business just fine?"

A person dressed in a full set of camo responded, "That owner is so infuriating, we need to make him bleed a little."

"How did he infuriate you?"

As long as you little ancestors don’t bully him, why would he go out of his way to mess with you?

"You don’t know, bro. That base was set up by a few guys who came here from somewhere else."

Ye Tian understood when he saw the direction the man was pointing; they came from up north, from Beiping City.

"In principle, if you’re doing business, then just do business. No one’s stopping you and this isn’t an easy business to run. Guns are banned nationwide and even simulations guns aren’t okay! I’m guessing they have solid connections. Anyway, the business is not bad. Later I thought, why not join in on the fun? Guess what—this guy just blocks us, not letting us in. When asked why, he arrogantly says, ’Only real Beiping guys are allowed in. You guys, no way! If you’re capable, break down the gate of my courtyard, march in with your guns and show me. Otherwise, go chill wherever it’s cool!’ Just like that, I bet him that in three days, I’ll completely overtake his shitty base!"

"That bastard, really thinks he’s hot stuff. How dare he act all high and mighty on our territory!"

"I know, right? If we don’t stomp him flat, he won’t know what Jinmen descendants are made of!"

"We’ll take it over! I want to see how he’ll compete with us!" Spoken with a pure Jinmen accent.

Tan Xiao pulled Tang Su to sit down on a chair to the side and handed her a juice, looking at the group of young fellows, asked, "Susu, got a boyfriend already?"

Tang Su, two years younger than Tan Xiao, didn’t have much interaction with her, but their impressions of each other were quite good. Especially regarding Tan Xiao’s achievement in managing a commercial empire—she was someone Tang Su looked up to, "Not yet, no rush."

"You’re twenty-five already, not that young."

"Talking about me? You’re two years older than me. Do you have a boyfriend?" Tang Su asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I’m almost thirty, but nevermind me. How about I introduce someone to you?"

"Who?"

Tan Xiao looked at her and smiled, lowering her head to drink the beverage, and stayed quiet.

Truly worthy of the name Tan Xiao, Tang Su acknowledged that her own smile was attractive, but it couldn’t compare to the beauty of the woman before her. It was a sort of admiration only women could see and men couldn’t perceive or appreciate. She of course knew the meaning hidden behind that smile. Though she didn’t verbalize it, everyone understood. Unlike the business circle where marriage could extend family businesses and connections, political marriages could either rise or fall together. Steeped in nearly a century of political life, she was certainly aware of how things worked. But Tang Su wasn’t foolish; anyone with eyes could see which family was stronger or weaker. The Tan Family has already started expanding outward and might have given up on politics, but by pulling the Tang Family in at the last minute, who could tell what their motives were?

Dragging someone down with you when you’re going under—a tale not unfamiliar in history. But who knows if you might be the next pillow to cushion someone else’s fall.

"Tan Xin is making good progress in the Min Alliance. I heard he’s been selected for the reserve committee," Tang Su remarked, looking at the person speaking eloquently.

"Just trifling matters. It’s lonely at the top. Ah, your friend there, he seems to know quite a lot."

Tang Su smiled, "What does he know? He just has an uncle who’s a veteran. Don’t let his boasting fool you. When it actually comes time to rely on him, he’ll definitely drop the ball. Last time, he was bragging about being able to drive or something, yet when it came down to it, he was clinging onto the handrail the whole time until I stopped the car. Then he patted his chest saying how scared he was. So, if you guys really buy into his talk, you’re in for a loss."
