Beauty and the Bodyguard

Being Tailed Again

“Haha, I don’t think that’s possible,” Pengzhan said faintly, “Boss Li, is there anything else?

Although, Pengzhan hadn’t revealed anything to Cihua- he had been avoiding direct answers while still rejecting him at the same time but even saints made mistakes. Little did he know however, that one of the rejections had given the information Cihua was looking for!

Pengzhan said that it was impossible- he didn’t say that Cihua was unable to hire them, meaning that Lin Yi was probably a lone wolf, he didn’t have any allies. As far as Cihua was concerned, getting rid of him shouldn’t be a big deal and wouldn’t bring any after-effects.

Cihua was as happy as a clam- he was actually able to extract something out from this old fox. Cihua didn’t come here to threaten Pengzhan or to find Master Bing a bodyguard- his sole purpose was to get Lin Yi’s information and now, he had succeeded.

After getting the answers he wanted, Cihua left straight away without much bullshit. Pengzhan, on the other hand, didn’t bother to send him out either- he only smiled coldly when Cihua left his office.

Cihua actually despised Pengzhan- he hated Pengzhan to the bone. In fact, even without Master Bing’s injury, he had always wanted to deal with him but his hands were always full. If he were able to get a hold of House Chu’s properties, that would give him a great sense of accomplishment.

The so-called hidden noble houses were actually noble houses that possessed mysterious traditional martial arts and had some absolute masters within. Although, they were prosperous, many of hidden noble houses’ wealth were actually just a drop in the ocean compared to the normal noble houses because they were seeking very different things.

Hidden noble houses aimed for the peak in the martial arts world, and while normal noble houses were chasing after power and money!

Both were heading into completely different directions, but hidden noble houses were famous for their overpowered masters, miracle doctors and whatnot.

The generation has indeed changed- it was no longer the generation of martial arts but the generation of weapons. For weapons, a normal human being would be afraid of a gun- they would be easily threatened but when a person pointed a gun towards a master, things were completely different. A master with a class higher than golden could easily avoid a bullet- they were so overpowered that they could even kill the person before the trigger was pulled.

So in that sense, a gun was pretty much just a toy to those masters. Of course, artillery, missiles, cannons, and tanks were effective against them. It’s just that these these weapons weren’t as easy to obtain, so normal noble houses would have no chance obtaining it, and only some extremely strong underworld houses were able to seize them.

Because hidden noble houses focused on martial arts, a fortune was needed to sustain them- this was the reason why Cihua had been drooling over the Pengzhan industries, even if Master Bing hadn’t been badly injured.

After leaving Pengzhan industries, Cihua called Master Bing to report the good news. Regarding how to deal with him however, wasn’t any of his business- Uncle Zhu and Yaowang were needed for his revenge and while plotting revenge can waste some time, they still had to discuss over it. Things would definitely go smoothly, as long as Lin Yi didn’t have any alliances or strong backers.

After completing one of his tasks, Cihua felt relieved but he didn’t stop his pace- he contacted the constructors. Building a skyscraper in a few days seemed like having a pie in the sky, at the most, he thought that if the workers were working for 24 hours non-stop, 20 days could be manageable!

However, the pay would also have to be multiplied- naturally, the pay of working in the morning and at night was completely different! But Cihua hadn’t have a choice, Master Bing had already given him his orders- there was no way he could disobey it, only death awaited if that happened.

Cihua had to channel in the funds that he was about to handover to Guangyin- even if Guangyin found out, he couldn’t do anything to him since the money was spent on his son.

……

Lin Yi had planned to visit Tangyin in the morning but he was woken up by Mengyao and Yushu as early as dawn.

“Lin Yi, accompany us to buy some exercise books!” Mengyao said.

“Ugh…” Lin Yi suspected- Did Mengyao hear him telling Tangyin that he was going to visit her tomorrow? Why else would she want to buy reference books all of a sudden. Normally, they wouldn’t even take one step out of the house on weekends.

“Why, do you have something to do?” Mengyao was being sincere- she didn’t mean to trouble Lin Yi at all! She had just decided to get better grades after talking with her father yesterday- it was impossible to get good grades in an exam-oriented education if they didn’t do enough exercises.

No matter how smart one could be, they would still fail to answer some of the brain wrecking questions. Only by practice and doing exercises more, they would be able to counter it.

“Nothing,” Lin Yi could only follow them for now.

“Then, what are you waiting for?” Mengyao had turned back to her original self, her tone and behaviour had changed completely from yesterday.

This made Lin Yi at ease, it seemed like he was just overthinking yesterday. The Miss was still the previous Miss.

Lin Yi started preparing and headed out with the Misses soon after. He texted Tangyin on their way to the bookstore, telling her that he would visit her in the afternoon.

Tangyin didn’t give it too much thought because, after all, they had only went back to their own places at midnight, it was just ten in the morning right now. Tangyin was still in the middle of waking up, so she just thought that Lin Yi also wanted some more sleep.

“Which bookstore are we going to?” Lin Yi drove out of the villa and asked the Miss in the backseat.

“Let’s go to Scholarsea book store then, the one near the school,” Mengyao said.

“Sure,” Lin Yi nodded but his gaze was fixed on the rearview mirror- there was a black vehicle tailing them. Lin Yi had seen this car before, it was no doubt Cihua’s.

He couldn’t believe that the pussy was joining the game again- he had been hiding from Lin Yi for some time now and all of a sudden, he was tailing him? Didn’t Cihua know that Lin Yi was able to recognise his car?

In fact, Cihua wasn’t trying to make himself unknown- he had sent some people to surround the villa just to check out Lin Yi’s current condition.

At this time, Zhang Yuzhou called Cihua from the black vehicle.

(Yuzhou means universe.)

“Cihua bro, it’s lil Yuzhou here!” Yuzhou said quickly, “I saw Lin Yi!

“Owh?” Cihua had just finished his job- he had hired the constructors and engineers for the reconstruction of the skyscraper starting from tomorrow, and received the call as he was entering the floating cloud bar.

Cihua was unable to learn of Lin Yi’s current condition from Pengzhan so he sent Yuzhou to stay around the villa.

“Where did you see him? How’s Lin Yi now?” Cihua asked.

“Cihua bro, I saw him at the entrance of the villa! Lin Yi is driving right now, along with Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu!” Yuzhou said.
