Chapter 748: human shield

Leng Xuan nodded earnestly, without a trace of hesitation. Dare he refuse? He was certain that if he uttered a single "no," heaven knows what methods Li Mengjie would resort to in dealing with him. As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances." As long as he could avoid Li Mengjie’s outburst, climbing mountains of swords or plunging into seas of flames would be no issue at all.

Li Mengjie was very satisfied with Leng Xuan’s attitude and nodded with a smile, saying, "Very good, I had already prepared some threats. But since you’re so understanding, it saved Miss Li quite a bit of talking."

Leng Xuan replied with a flattering smile, "Miss Li’s orders are naturally my commands. May I know what task you would set me on? As long as it’s not too difficult, I’ll surely complete it."

"Don’t worry, it might be hard for others, but it’s nothing for you, Cold Bodyguard," said Li Mengjie with a somewhat eerie smile, which instantly gave Leng Xuan a bad premonition. Sure enough, he heard Li Mengjie say, "Last night at Junlin Hotel, I said I was already ’with you,’ and then He Bin reported this to my dad after he went back. My dad was very angry and kept saying he would have you shot."

Upon hearing this, a trace of cold sweat gradually started to seep from Leng Xuan’s forehead.

Li Mengjie noticed this and pursed her lips in a smile, continuing, "But don’t worry, my dad is rather busy these days, so he won’t have the time to come over and pull a gun on you. Don’t be so nervous." Leng Xuan thought to himself that with her dad’s status and position, would he even need to take action himself? Just one word from him, and there would be an army ready to take him down.

At this moment, Li Mengjie added, "Even though he can’t come in person, he sent my older brother over to trouble you. I heard that he handed his own pistol to my brother, and also gave him a bullet, repeatedly making it clear that he wanted that bullet delivered to you."

Leng Xuan couldn’t help but swallow hard. Truth be told, he wasn’t afraid of bullets, no matter how many. But what was the point of dodging a single bullet? His opponent was the commander of a large military region who had hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, ready to dispatch tens of thousands against him at any moment. Although he wasn’t afraid and taking down thousands wouldn’t be difficult for him, if he dared to kill those soldiers, Dragon Head would not hesitate to severely punish him.

Ah... Leng Xuan’s heart was full of resentment at this moment! He looked at Li Mengjie with a mournful face and said, "Miss Li, this isn’t fair. You’re pushing me into the fire pit. Why don’t you clear things up with your dad, so he stops troubling me, how about that?"

Li Mengjie flatly refused, "No way."

Leng Xuan touched his nose and said, "My Miss Li, then what will it take for you to let me off the hook?"

"It’s simple," said Li Mengjie cheerfully, "From now on, you’ll just have to work a bit harder, act as my shield, deal with my dad to stop him from always trying to find me some fancy young masters. The day after tomorrow, my brother will probably be here. You’ll give him a good thrashing and then send him packing. I believe you can certainly do that. Once you’ve done these things, leave the rest to me, and I’ll have a good talk with my dad."

"Is it really just that simple?" Leng Xuan was somewhat skeptical.

Li Mengjie nodded, "For now, it is. If there’s anything else I need from you in the future, I’ll let you know."

Leng Xuan immediately felt a headache coming on. Why was he always playing the role of the fake boyfriend for others? Pang Shanshan did this, and now Li Mengjie was doing the same. Could it be he was innately destined to be a human shield?
