The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 71 - 71 0071 Graceful Figure

71: Chapter 0071 Graceful Figure 71: Chapter 0071 Graceful Figure A few seconds passed before an excruciating pain from the wrist erupted.

The cloaked figure, cradling their now blood-spurting, bald wrist, rolled back and forth on the ground, letting out a piercing howl of agony.

However, the cause of all this was nothing more than a decorative mini knife on Chu Ge’s keys!

As previously mentioned, Chu Ge could now infuse objects with Spiritual Energy.

Therefore, it wasn’t just mini knives— even a leaf could become a divine weapon, cutting through metal as easily as if it were butter.

“My patience is very limited.” Chu Ge put away the keys and said coldly, “If you dare to try any more tricks, next time, it will be your head that goes flying!”

At this point, the cloaked figure also stopped howling.

It was impossible to discern any expression on their pitch-black skin, but their tone carried a hint of disdain: “Heh, I’m not naïve enough to think you’d let me go.

Since it’s a death either way, what makes you think I’d tell you more?”

“You will talk.” Chu Ge stretched out a finger, ready to incapacitate him like Shi Weiyu, then interrogate him at leisure.

But before his hand could reach out, he suddenly smelled a foul stench.

Looking back at the cloaked figure, they had collapsed on the ground, motionless.

Chu Ge’s expression changed, and he quickly checked their pulse.

Dead!

Right after uttering those last words, the cloaked figure had released the poison from within and committed suicide.

This method was unstoppable at the moment since the poison was concealed within their Inner Strength, which meant even Chu Ge couldn’t prevent it for the time being.

The potency of the poison was indeed identical to that which had affected Old Master Ouyang, but it was much more potent.

Mere minutes later, the cloaked figure’s body had dissolved into a puddle of black liquid that seeped into the ground, clothes and all.

“Ghost Poison Sect?” Chu Ge muttered to himself, and, channeling his Inner Strength, he cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground before leaving the area.

He hadn’t been in Shanghai long, but had already encountered two Ancient Martial Sects, not to mention made enemies of them.

If he was right, the hidden Ancient Martial Sects in this world were far more than just Vajra Sect and Ghost Poison Sect!

Since Ghost Poison Sect had Grandmaster Level experts in charge, what about those sects even stronger than Ghost Poison Sect?

Could they possess beings that transcend Grandmasters?

After a moment, Chu Ge suddenly took out his phone and flipped to Zhao Wuji’s number.

The old man was somewhat involved in the Ancient Martial world back in the day, and the founder of Tianrui Bank, who provided him with a black card, clearly had some understanding of the world of Ancient Martial Arts, perhaps even a deep understanding.

Zhao Wuji, having taken over the position, certainly couldn’t be completely clueless.

The phone only rang twice before it was answered: “Mr.

Chu, I’ve heard about what happened at the banquet from Manager Qian.

I’m really sorry I couldn’t be of help to you.”

“That’s all right.” Chu Ge replied with a smile, “I’m already grateful that you had someone step in and help me.”

“Mhm, that’s good to hear.” Zhao Wuji paused for a bit then continued, “Mr.

Chu, you surely wouldn’t be calling late at night just for this little matter, would you?”

“That’s correct.” Chu Ge didn’t plan to beat around the bush and said directly, “During my days here in Shanghai, I’ve encountered some people from Ancient Martial Sects, so I wanted to ask Mr.

Zhao—how much do you know about this aspect?”

In a high-end villa at the center of Shanghai, Zhao Wuji was holding a teacup and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the night view outside.

After hearing what Chu Ge said, his expression changed, and the teacup in his hand was suddenly squeezed into several cracks, from which the hot water slowly seeped out.

“I do know.” Zhao Wuji was silent for a moment, then said, “It’s not convenient to talk about these things over the phone, Mr.

Chu.

Why don’t we find some time to have a meal out, and I’ll tell you slowly.”

“Okay!” Chu Ge agreed very straightforwardly and hung up the phone after saying the word okay.

Looking at the gradually dimming phone screen, Zhao Wuji suddenly asked, “Yuanyuan, do you know who really controls this world?”

Behind him was a woman wrapped in a garment, her face unclear, but from the curves of her body alone, it was evident that this woman was definitely not ordinary.

“Giggle, in terms of the world, I as a little woman do not have such grand vision, but in Shanghai, isn’t it controlled by the Four Great Families?

After them, it’s you!”

“You guessed wrong.” Zhao Wuji looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, his expression unreadable: “The real rulers have always been sitting in the shadows!”

……

After Chu Ge hung up the phone, he didn’t linger.

He went out to the street and hailed a taxi.

However, once they arrived at the destination, the taxi driver looked at the high-end villa in front of them, then at Chu Ge, dressed in cheap street clothes, and finally, his gaze settled on Chu Ge’s handsome face, his expression odd, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Ge couldn’t be bothered to explain and entered the villa after paying for the ride.

The lights were still on in the hall, and there was the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Although it was agreed that the ground floor bathroom was Chu Ge’s, since it was someone else’s home, he didn’t feel it was his place to say anything.

So, he sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and prepared to wait.

However, just as Chu Ge had just sat down, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Mu Bingtong walked out: “Yaoyao is back, can you help me…”

Mu Bingtong caught sight of Chu Ge sitting on the sofa, and Chu Ge also saw Mu Bingtong under the light, and he instantly felt something warm and wet as if it was about to trickle from his nostrils…

Mu Bingtong’s skin was a reflective ivory-white that, under the light, seemed to be coated with a glossy sheen – especially since she was stark naked at this moment…

It was said that a woman wearing very little is far sexier than wearing nothing at all, but this law failed entirely in the presence of Mu Bingtong because what she revealed at this moment was a breathtaking beauty!

There was silence for a good two seconds, and in an instant, Chu Ge covered his ears as swift as lightning, and simultaneously, a piercing scream that could almost break through the heavens erupted in the villa.

“Ah—”

Even glasses started to tremble!

As she screamed, Mu Bingtong clutched her private parts and crouched down, calling out to Chu Ge with a sobbing voice: “Close your eyes and turn around!”

Even though it was a command, Mu Bingtong’s tone already had a hint of a grudge and a plea, as if she were a woman about to face misfortune.

Chu Ge hurriedly closed his eyes and turned around, but in fact, he squinted for a thorough appreciation before finally turning away.

A set of footsteps sounded from behind him, and just as he turned back around, he saw the bathroom door slam shut with a “bang.”

“What does this have to do with the door?” Chu Ge said with a wry smile.
