Beauty and the Bodyguard

Role Reversal

“It’s over!” Xiao Ben’s heart went cold with one look. “The brain’s already burst open, the juices are coming out! How are we supposed to heal this?”

“Call the ambulance!” Xiao Ji glared at Huli, panicking. “What are you doing there, call the ambulance!”

“Oh- Oh! Yes!” Huli quickly nodded and took out her phone, making the call…

Lin Yi himself had his eyes wide open as he looked at the scene before him, in disbelief. Was this seriously happening? Did Uncle Pi die by his hand, or did he die after getting run down?

“Look at that Ju Huli, Yao Yao! She killed her family’s master fighter! Shield Bro wasted his mercy!” Yushu said regrettably. “She’s probably going to get hung and beaten at home, I wonder what that looks like!”

The scene before them was bloody, but the comedic elements in play were enough to make Mengyao laugh a little. “Really, they’re so unlucky!”

Pengzhan wasn’t expecting this sort of ending as well! Hose Xiao’s practitioner, killed by their own daughter-in-law’s car! This was a surprising level of misfortune, and even Pengzhan couldn’t bring himself to cause hem trouble any longer!

“You guys go manage the funeral. Get someone to come to discuss the four hundred billion and four businesses after you finish up.” Lin Yi shook his head at the two brothers. “You guys saw it too, right? Life is full of accidents. Maybe the next accident involves you!”

Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji jumped at the threat. Only then did they realize true fear!

Lin Yi hadn’t lost his strength at all, but that wasn’t the point. Uncle Pi was dead! Without Uncle Pi, everyone could push them around.

They were both shocked and enraged. They didn’t expect Lin Yi to push on still, even after Uncle PI’s death! Four businesses, even—that was ridiculous!

Yet they never considered what they themselves did when Uncle Pi crippled Zhizun, and the things they did to push Pengzhan to a corner! But what businesses did House Xiao have? If they did, why would they even go to Pengzhan to take anything?

While four hundred billion was indeed possible, it’d come at the cost of selling all their businesses in Yanjing! They were just starting to try their hand in Songshan, of course, they couldn’t just hand out everything to Lin YI!

But did they even have a choice now? Would Lin Yi let them go?

Lin Yi had no trace of sympathy at all for the Xiaos and Uncle Pi as he got dragged away by the ambulance. This sort of thing was simply called karma.

“The next house, I guess.” Lin Yi shrugged before turning to Pengzhan. “Uncle Chu, I’m leaving for Floating Cloud Bar.”

“Oh? Yi, you’re looking to cause Zhao Qibin trouble as well?” Pengzhan paused.

“They were the ones who came to push us around. I can’t teach them a lesson if I don’t go to them.” Lin Yi shook his head. “But this Zhao Qibin really doesn’t have a good memory…”

“Alright then, be careful!” Pengzhan didn’t say anything else upon Lin Yi’s insistence. He understood the logic—the world belonged to the strong. If you were to let someone bully you and not fight back, they’ll assume you were scared of them, and they’ll come for you next time as well!

Only if you retaliate with even more force after getting bullied would the enemy understand and even fear you!

“But, don’t take too long!” Pengzhan said with some hesitation. “We’re still not out of danger yet, I’m worried House Yu and House Xiao would try and make a comeback and take revenge on Yao Yao and Shu…”

“Don’t worry.” Lin Yi smiled. “General Weiwu’s no weakling. Plus, they wouldn’t dare come back anymore. Although the door to this villa, Uncle Chu you’ll have to spend your own money on. We’re not sure when House Yu’s money will come in after all!”

House Xiao and House Yu would come back for revenge if they had the strength, that was for sure. But that time wasn’t now.

“Of course!” Pengzhan smiled bitterly to himself. Only Lin Yi would say something like that, asking for benefits after killing House Yu’s Yu Bide.

But, his father was right—Lin Yi was Lin Yi, and it was he who would eventually solve the problem of Songshan!

It seemed that, in just an instant, all the troubles surrounding him disappeared. The dominant parties all became the bullied side, and even Pengzhan wasn’t sure if he could adapt that quickly to this sudden role reversal! He was still worrying for his daughter and for the future of his family this morning, but now the ones worrying were House Yu, House Xiao, and, soon enough, Zhao Qibin!

“Lin Yi, be careful!” Mengyao waited only until Lin Yi reached the door before speaking up.

Her voice was normal as usual, but Lin Yi only needed one look back to understand how much she cared.

“Ah… Alright!” Lin Yi nodded. That was how the Miss always was- cold on the outside, warm in the inside. He was already used to it.

“Good luck, Shield Bro!” Yushu waved her fists. “I always knew you had it in you!”

Lin Yi nodded to them before turning and leaving. He got on Yushu’s beetle and drove to the Floating Cloud Bar.

An Jianwen, on the other hand, was quite excitedly waiting for Pengzhan to call him for help, now that all parties were closing in on him. As far as he was concerned, Pengzhan would break for sure and accept his proposal!

There was no other reason. Perhaps Mengyao didn’t like him, but that was way better than marrying a house of strangers as a mistress! Marrying him was Mengyao’s best bet, and he understood that Pengzhan was no fool! He’d come to his senses!

Mengyao marrying him would allow Pengzhan to keep Pengzhan Industries, as well as his daughter’s happiness! After all, he did genuinely love Mengyao, so even if he married her he’d give her love and passion! He wouldn’t do anything to her!

An Jianwen looked at the time on his watch. Didn’t House Yu say they’d go in the morning? It was already eight, so he wondered if the results were out yet. Even House Xiao remained quiet—what were they doing?

Jianwen couldn’t wait anymore—it seemed that Pengzhan was quite the man, still not compromising after all this! Alright, if that was the case then Jianwen would give him one more push! He’d call Qibin, and tell them about how Pengzhan was planning to run with Mengyao!
