The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 221

Chapter 221: 221

Even though Ye Tian was still smiling at him, Zhen Yulin didn’t feel any kindness behind that smile.

"Mr. Ye, I’m not too clear about these things you mentioned."

"There’s no need for Boss Zhen to worry, we can handle these minor matters."

As he spoke, a noise of something being smashed came from a room on the second floor. You could hear it clearly from the first floor. Zhen Yulin’s complexion changed. As he tried to stand up, he felt a heavy force press down on his shoulder, and before he could stand, his body was firmly pushed down onto the sofa. The immense pressure on his legs felt like being hammered.

Glancing at the tall figure standing next to him, Zhen Yulin couldn’t help but gasp, "Ye Tian, your subordinate doesn’t seem to know the rules very well."

"My brother’s will is my will. You can try to refuse if you’d like."

Ye Tian adjusted his coat and leaned back on the sofa, smiling at Zhen Yulin. At that moment, Zhen Yulin felt the man in front of him had changed too much and seemed almost unrecognizable, but what he had just said seemed to explain why he was able to climb to his position. It’s not easy for those in power to respect their subordinates, and yet Ye Tian, in front of his men, referred to them as brothers, which indeed was different from other bosses.

"Boss Zhen, I’ll give you one last chance. Tell me, where are those things?"

Zhen Yulin shook his head. Compared to his initial panic, he had become much calmer. His experience told him that as long as he held onto what his opponent wanted to know, he could keep his life.

"Don’t think I’m stupid, nor that you’re very smart. The so-called experience in your head, I have it too. Don’t ever think that I won’t kill you if you stay silent. The whole ’misfortune should not touch one’s family’ idea, I threw that aside a long time ago. Those who play this game always have to pay back, and it’s not my concern whom they pay it back to. People who bring this upon themselves won’t live long anyway."

"What about you?" Zhen Yulin’s tone wavered as he spoke. It was clear in his words that someone had gone to his house and taken control of his family. Zhen Yulin always had several properties wherever he went; he could not understand how Ye Tian had found him.

Watching Zhen Yulin’s changing expressions, he could guess what he was thinking, "People like you, going to Hell is just a matter of time. I’m just tying up God’s hands. Acting on behalf of Heaven is a good deed in itself."

His face darkened, speechless.

Li Jing came down from upstairs with empty hands, shaking his head at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian knew that the thing he wanted wasn’t here. Who would be foolish enough to keep those things at their own house, especially Zhen Yulin, a top graduate from the mathematics department of a prestigious 985 university?

"What do you want to do?"

"Very simple. I just mean to make you die. Let’s go. We need to find a quieter place to talk properly." Ye Tian stood up and walked ahead. Zhang Daniu, understanding the hint, chopped Zhen Yulin on the neck. Zhen Yulin’s vision went black and he fainted.

A ready-made car, no need to waste it, Ye Tian unapologetically drove Zhen Yulin’s Grand Cherokee from the garage. This guy looked honest, but the car he drove was actually quite flashy. He drove it to the front door, Li Jing and Zhang Daniu quickly got in, closed the door, and no one knew what would happen inside that car.

"He won’t die, will he?"

Zhang Daniu bent down to look at Zhen Yulin and grinned, "He won’t die!"

The car kept driving until it stopped at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. This place was a ruin, a deserted land no one wanted, now used to dump trash.

In the vast empty space, only a few broken columns supported the structure, and the ground was littered with bricks and tiles, making walking a painful experience. Ye Tian looked around and said, "This place will do." Zhang Daniu flipped his shoulder, and Zhen Yulin, who was carried on it, was thrown to the ground.

"Awake?" Ye Tian crouched down and smiled at this seemingly refined but inwardly deceitful man.

Zhen Yulin rubbed his eyes and looked around, clearly understanding he wouldn’t escape this time. His heart held some resentment, but he had no hope of staying alive. The more one kills, the better they understand the killer’s mindset. He wasn’t harboring any illusions nor expecting Ye Tian to spare him; he wouldn’t spare someone who stood in his way, either.

"Have you ever thought that Zheng Xinru would trouble you after killing me?"

"I have."

"Heh, you really do have guts."

"I don’t rely solely on courage for my actions, but on this." Ye Tian pointed to his head.

"Your head will eventually be taken by Zheng Xinru as well. I know her too well—if she could edge you out this time, she’ll definitely have the means to deal with you. You came up with the idea of taking the ledger; that means you’re smart, but these things won’t work against an old fox who has been in the bureaucratic world for decades, nor against Zheng Xinru, who stirs up the entire Tianhe. I must remind you, young man, Zhang Xiayang will come back eventually, you better be careful."

"I already killed him. Just the day before yesterday. It was raining heavily that night."

Zhen Yulin was stunned and questioned incredulously, "He... came back?"

"That’s right. He came back a day earlier than Zheng Xinru told me. I suppose she is waiting for him to return now."

Looking into Ye Tian’s confident eyes, and seeing the terrifying skills of the two men standing beside him, he finally believed what Ye Tian had said.

"Got a cigarette? Give me one."

Ye Tian fished out a cigarette from his pocket, saw it was Red Mountain Tea, and put it in his mouth, then asked the other two, "Got a cigarette?"

Zhang Daniu shook his head, and Li Jing silently took out a pack of ’Emperor’ and handed it over.

Ye Tian took the cigarette, paused, "When did you start smoking?"

"I swiped it." Li Jing glanced at Zhen Yulin on the ground and Ye Tian realized that he must have found this at Zhen Yulin’s house.

Damn thing!

Ye Tian tore open the cellophane wrapper in a roundabout way, tapped it, and popped out a cigarette, passing it over.

Zhen Yulin saw the Red Mountain Tea in Ye Tian’s mouth and shook his head with a smile, "Ye Tian, for that cigarette alone, I have to wish you luck in overthrowing Zheng Xinru and succeeding in taking her place."
