Chapter 750 Thought It Was Filming a Movie

"Oh, is it him? No problem!"

Upon hearing Chen Jianguo’s name, the beggar didn’t show the surprise or astonishment that most people would have. Instead, his face only slightly revealed an unexpected look, as if he hadn’t thought it would be Jianguo, and even less so, that Xiao Yi and Jianguo were so close that Xiao Yi would ask him to protect Jianguo. He then nodded firmly.

However, after nodding, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and with a slightly alert look in his eyes, he gazed at Xiao Yi, "How long do you want me to protect him? When will you let me go back?"

"Don’t worry, if I promised you something, I definitely won’t go back on my word. I won’t have you protect him forever, of course, unless you choose to later. I only need you to protect him for a year, at most for one year. How about that? This duration is reasonable, right? If you still decide to go back after a year, I will help you sort it out."

Xiao Yi glanced at the beggar indifferently.

"Okay."

Hearing that Xiao Yi wasn’t trying to deceive him and offered a duration of only a year, the beggar’s face showed a satisfied smile.

"If there are no problems, then let’s go now."

Xiao Yi nodded and didn’t say anything more.

In his view, a year’s time was already enough. With this year, he could continue searching for other appropriate individuals who could protect Chen Jianguo. With this man’s protection during the year, he believed Jianguo’s safety would be like having a big insurance policy. Ordinary killers would definitely not pose any danger to Jianguo.

Regarding this man’s competence, he was quite confident and trusting.

It wasn’t just because this man possessed Bone Tempering Period strength, but more importantly, because he was trained by Shangguan Mufeng!

The beggar also nodded his head and no longer bothered with the scraps of paper and trash on the ground. He clapped his hands and joyfully followed beside Xiao Yi, heading forward.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly realized something was amiss, looked at Xiao Yi in front with a surprised expression, "Where are we going now? Aren’t we headed directly to Jianguo Group? Isn’t Jianguo Group in that direction over there?"

"You mean to go directly to Jianguo Building like this?"

Xiao Yi stopped walking, looked at the beggar in oil-stained and ragged clothes with a stench, and a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes, "Do you think, with your current appearance, the security guards there will let you into the building?"

"This... heh, I didn’t think it through, so where are we going now?"

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the beggar suddenly remembered his current attire might really not be suitable, quickly made an embarrassed chuckle on his face, and then continued to ask.

"Of course, we’re going to change your appearance first."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, looked at him with a face of pity as if looking at an idiot, seemingly doubting how he could ask such a foolish question.

The beggar, seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, felt embarrassed and realized his previous question truly was somewhat redundant and foolish. His face showed an awkward smile again, and without further words, he just followed closely behind Xiao Yi, heading forward.

"Zhang, Chen, are you saying those two awesome guys just now are that beggar and the guy ahead?"

As the two walked not far out, a group of men in security uniforms burst out from not far behind them. One of them, with an arrogant expression, looked at the two figures ahead and with a look of disdain and scorn glanced at the two security guards next to him.

The rest of the security guards also turned their eyes toward those two guards, their faces filled with scorn and mockery, seemingly laughing at them for being so useless, scared shitless by those two people.

"Captain, he really is very strong!"

The guard who had been thrown by Xiao Yi earlier saw the expression on his captain and other colleagues, and his face immediately turned red.

"Yes, captain, really, I saw it with my own eyes. The skinny one was okay, but that beggar was really crazy. He grabbed a steel plate with one hand!" Another security guard quickly nodded in agreement, supporting his companion. The scene of the beggar grabbing a flat steel plate indented deeply impressed him.

Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of something on some nearby trash and discovered the steel plate from earlier that the beggar had not taken with him. He immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Captain, look, over there, that piece of scrap steel is still there. Look, that was the one he grabbed with his hand!"

"Not bad, not bad, look, that’s it! We all saw it with our own eyes!"

The first security guard to speak, upon hearing his colleague, turned his gaze to the steel plate, his face lighting up with joy.

The other security guards, hearing the conversation, couldn’t help but follow the pointing fingers of the two men.

Seeing the steel plate, the guards’ faces suddenly showed a hint of doubt, thinking maybe those two weren’t faking after all. There really was no reason for them to fake this, was there? Could it be that the steel plate had been tampered with? Was the beggar using it to scare them on purpose?

With doubts in their minds, they approached the steel plate. The guards reached out and touched it, and indeed, the plate was heavy, perfectly normal in color and texture.

This was a truly intact steel plate!

It wasn’t, as they had imagined, a rusty iron sheet or some prop painted to look like steel.

"See, we didn’t deceive you, I told you it was real!"

"Yes, I’m telling you, he just grabbed it like this and lifted the steel plate up!"

The two security guards, seeing their colleagues’ skeptical looks, felt a rush of relief, reveling in the vindication. The skeptical glances and the mocking tones they had endured were too stifling.

"Real? I think, Zhang, you and Chen just gambled with women too much last night and hallucinated the whole thing!"

Hearing these words, the head of the security guards looked up with a sarcastic face, waving the steel plate in his hand, "Damn, you see this as real? Do you think we are filming an alien movie here, or performing a magic show? Can a human hand even do this?"

The other guards, initially uncertain, brightened up at their leader’s words, slapping their foreheads in realization—could human effort really accomplish this? If it could, wouldn’t that make him a superman?

These days, who believes in supermen?

Thinking this was some kind of a movie!

One by one, they inwardly cursed themselves, regretting almost believing it to be true.

"Captain, this... this is really real..."

Seeing that they still didn’t believe him, the security guard became anxious, "If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself!"

"Alright, let me see this so-called superhuman beggar for myself!"

The security head, spotting Xiao Yi and the beggar about to walk away, smirked coldly. With a wave of his hand, he led his team quickly toward the two, shouting as they approached, "The two ahead, stop right there!"

Xiao Yi and the beggar naturally heard the shout from behind, but neither realized it was directed at them, continuing to walk forward.

Seeing Xiao Yi and the beggar completely ignoring him and directly insulting him in front of his subordinates, the head of the security grew even angrier. He gritted his teeth and bellowed again, "Ahead, stop, do you hear me!"

This time, Xiao Yi and the beggar realized something was off, and they stopped walking, turning around with puzzled looks on their faces. When they clearly saw the group of fierce-looking guards, puzzlement quickly turned to disgust, and their brows furrowed in an instant.

These security guards, didn’t they ever let up?

"I’ll go teach these sons of bitches a lesson!"

Xiao Yi was about to speak when the beggar beside him stepped forward, his eyes flashing with a cold glint, and made his way back towards the guards.

Watching the beggar heading towards the guards, Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment but eventually said nothing, merely following a few steps behind.

"You’re calling us?"

The beggar grinned at the approaching guards, revealing a row of white teeth. The look in his eyes grew icy. These days while he had been picking up trash here, he hadn’t been bullied by these guards just a few times. Originally, he hadn’t planned on settling scores with these guards, as in his eyes, they were nothing but a group of pitiable fools. But he had not expected them to heedlessly chase after them!

Did they really think a beggar was easy to bully?

This time, he decided he would give them a taste of their own medicine, teach them a lesson!

Let them know that looking down on others doesn’t end well! (To be continued. If you like this story, you are welcome to vote and support on Qidian; your support is my greatest motivation.)
