Beauty and the Bodyguard

Tipping Off

“Just wait for a moment….”

What Jianwen was doing was a secret from Taizao so he couldn’t talk over this in the room. He stood up and said, “I’ve got to answer this call, please excuse me…..”

Lin Yi might have good hearing, but he couldn’t catch the whole conversation. He only heard two words, “police” and “car”. He had been observing Jianwen’s movement the entire time, so he knew that something was definitely wrong with this call.

“I’m going to the toilet,” Lin Yi stood up after Jianwen left the room.

Taizao didn’t know who was calling Jianwen, so he thought that Jianwen didn’t answer the call in the room out of politeness. He thought that Jianwen was pretending to be a gentleman in front of Mengyao to improve his image, so when Lin Yi went out, he ignored him completely. He didn’t even bat an eye to Lin Yi,

As far as Taizao was concerned, Lin Yi was a mere bodyguard, a minor character that would never be of use. He was polite because Jianwen needed him to be his spy, that’s all.

Lin Yi breaking Master Bing’s legs and leveling the whole skyscraper down the earth was impressive. Taizao was there. He attended Master Bing’s completion ceremony with Jianwen that day, but he didn’t know how Lin Yi could survive until now?

How could he be so carefree, accompanying the Misses to dinner after making Master Bing an enemy? Could it be that Master Bing wasn’t getting back his revenge? He found things absurd, but when he asked Jianwen about it, Jianwen only gave him a weak smile, without any explanations.

Taizao was bewildered, but Jianwen was aware of the whole situation. Cihua had told him that his two golden class masters were killed under Lin Yi’s hands. How could he be an ordinary man? If Lin Yi was just a normal bodyguard, Jianwen wouldn’t bother paying him, would he? Besides, he had suffered plenty of losses under Lin Yi’s hand, yet he was still calling Lin Yi brother.

Jianwen wouldn’t just stick his neck troubling Lin Yi when he didn’t have his bodyguards with him yet. As for Master Bing, Jianwen didn’t know what was holding Master Bing from getting revenge. After all, Cihua and Lin Yi were sworn enemies.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Jianwen in the slightest. He only cared about his family business and hitting on Mengyao. The rest wasn’t his priority.

After exiting the room, Jianwen walked to the end of the corridor in a place where he was alone and he could continue his phone call. Although he was a little drunk, he was very cautious of his surroundings. This was something he couldn’t allow people to know!

Cutting Pinliang’s kidney was a decision he regretted. Naturally, he wasn’t afraid of offending Master Bing or Cihua because of Pinliang. What he regretted was removing Pinliang’s kidney. He thought that destroying one of his testicles or making him a cripple would be so much better than removing his kidney!

Jianwen was basically telling the world that he was part of the kidney trafficking organization, wasn’t he? Fortunately, Pinliang did not report this to the police, and Cihua and he were business partners, so he was able to cover up his true identity. Otherwise, things would have gone south already.

“Can you stop asking me such simple things? If the cops are following you tightly, then just wait!” Jianwen was displeased with the tattooed guy. Jianwen wanted to rush back and continue with his plans after all.

“Wen bro, the Firewolf Gang is urging us. They don’t have many stocks left, either….. Why don’t we offer some money to buy the farmers’ kidney? Some of the farmers are very in need of money. If we can pay them, I think we can buy a few kidneys from them….”, the tattooed guy said carefully.

“Buy your ass. When did we have enough money for that?” Jianwen just remembered that this dinner had already cost him hundreds of thousands. His heart was bleeding at that thought. How could they afford to buy a kidney? He wondered how many kidneys he would have to sell to cover the cost of this dinner?

“Uh…..” tattooed guy didn’t expect Jianwen to be this angry. He didn’t dare to speak another word.

“Idiot. If Yazi village isn’t working, why don’t you go to the other villages? I heard that there’s a pretty run-down village in the north, Bin village. A lot of them aren’t registered as citizens. Some of them don’t even have registered residence. Why don’t you go check that place out?”, Jianwen snorted.

“Yes, yes! We’ll head to Bin village now!”, the tattooed guy said hurriedly.

“Hm, stop calling me if there’s nothing important. I’m busy here!” Jianwen ended the call angrily and headed back to the room.

Lin Yi rushed himself into the washroom. Of course, Jianwen didn’t realize Lin Yi eavesdropping to the whole conversation.

If Lin Yi’s assumptions were correct, Jianwen was probably the brain of the whole crime organization. But, he couldn’t care much about Jianwen’s actions at all. As long as Jianwen didn’t involve him and the people under his protection into the game, Lin Yi wouldn’t have bothered to interfere with him.

However, as per Lingshan’s request, he had to offer her a helping hand, hadn’t he? He decided to help her this time. He searched the washroom, making sure that it was empty. Only then did he give Lingshan a call.

Truthfully, this floor was only meant for VIPs. Every room had their personal washroom, so the public washroom was unused, except by waiters and waitresses.

“Lin Yi!” Lingsan didn’t know why she felt very joyful when she received a phone call from Lin Yi. Although she didn’t know the purpose of the call, her instincts told her that it was a piece of good news!

“There’s a Bin village in the north. You can put some of your people there.” Lin Yi didn’t bullshit with her. He was straight to the point and told Lingsan whatever he heard from Jianwen.

“Bin village?”, Lingsan startled, but she understood what Lin Yi was trying to point out! Could Bin village be the next victim for the kidney removing organization? Lingshan was excited. She wanted to throw questions at Lin Yi. She wondered how he got the news, but Lingshan was no idiot. She stopped herself from asking it.

Lingsan witnessed Lin Yi’s capabilities first-hand. So, as a good listener, as an adorable Miss. Braindead, she knew that Lin Yi didn’t want her to ask a “hundred thousand why’s”.

“Alright, I’ve gotta go. See ya.” Lin Yi heard the footsteps closing in the washroom and wanted to end the call as soon as possible.

“Thanks, you’ve really been a great help. Allow Miss. Braindead to treat you next time!”, Lingshan said adorably.

Lin Yi wordlessly ended the call.

Looking at ended phone call made Lingsan angry. How could this Lin Yi just ignore her like that? When did she ever lower her voice just for a man?! But, Lingsan couldn’t say anything. She was the one begging for his help, after all.

“Fine, I’ll just pretend that this was a lover’s thing. Luckily, no one knows about this too!” Lingshan comforted herself.

With that thought, Lingsan was able to maintain her composure. She was Song Lingsan after all. How could she behave like that?
