The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 226: Who is the Clown?

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Who is the Clown?

Many guests arrived today, yet the host family never made an appearance.

Everyone busily kept to themselves in the courtyard; they didn’t mind the lack of hospitality and treated it as a business networking event.

Long Fei took a sip of wine and curiously asked Lin Yingying, "Isn’t there a traditional medicine conference here today? How come I haven’t seen many doctors around?"

Lin Yingying chuckled, "You even know about this! The doctors have gone to the backyard through the side door. We are at the secondary venue."

This time, the grandmaster of traditional medicine, An Daoquan, also came.

Lin Yingying had run into him on the way here and only then learned about the event.

"Then I must have gone the wrong way!"

Long Fei muttered to himself, then curiously asked, "Who is the host here, anyway? How could they afford to invite so many prestigious people?"

Lin Yingying glanced around and whispered, "I heard it’s Elder Shen from Capital City, and he’s the one who invited people over for medical consultations!"

"Him?"

Long Fei was surprised, as if he had heard about this matter before.

Elder Master Shen from Capital City was the only founding general of Binhai City.

Although Elder Master Shen had long since retired, his children were making their mark in politics and the military within Huaxia, wielding considerable power.

He suddenly understood; no wonder all these dignitaries were eager to come here—it was all out of respect for General Shen.

Even the Lin Family, which held significant wealth and influence in Binhai City.

But they were quite ordinary on a national level and simply could not compare with the Shen Family.

As they were talking, a hostile voice suddenly came from behind them, "Oh, Director Lin is here too?"

A group of young men and women approached with wine glasses in hand, led by Wuu Yaodong, who’d been beaten up by Long Fei and Chu Feng at the bar last time.

Lin Yingying had investigated him, and he had also figured out Lin Yingying’s identity.

He didn’t expect that the woman from the bar that night would turn out to be Lin Yingying.

If it weren’t for Long Fei’s meddling, he might have already succeeded with the young Miss Lin.

Wuu Yaodong sized up Lin Yingying, muttered bitterly in his heart, and felt a deep resentment toward Long Fei beside her.

Shit, last time he beat me so badly I ended up in the hospital for a week before I recovered.

Lin Yingying stared at him impatience, "I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with you!"

Wuu Yaodong shamelessly insisted, "How can you say we’re not familiar? Didn’t we work well together at the bar?"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yingying hissed quietly, not wanting to cause trouble at General Shen’s house.

Laughter erupted from behind Wuu Yaodong, attracting quite a lot of attention.

Two young men, arm in arm, came over and shouted to Wuu Yaodong, "Young Master Wuu, you’re here too!"

Long Fei glanced at the two men, thinking he definitely hadn’t checked the almanac before going out today.

These two were Tan Yaozong and Yang Hao.

The circle in Binhai City was so small; these young elites usually knew each other.

Yang Hao’s face was still slightly swollen. Seeing Long Fei, his brow immediately furrowed.

Tan Yaozong felt the same, having not expected to encounter Long Fei here.

Long Fei sighed and thought to himself, great, everyone I have a beef with is here.

"All the brothers are here!"

He greeted the three with a smile, as if they were all good buddies.

Wuu Yaodong was the first to issue a challenge, "Who are you trying to cozy up to? Acting like a big shot when you’re just a scallion in a plantation of leeks, who do you think you are!"

This guy likes to fancy himself as the new cultural leader of Binhai City and often spouts a few lines of poetry or proverbs off the top of his head.

Long Fei still vividly remembered the poem about "ten years of grinding a sword" that he spouted last time.

Tan Yaozong was the second to join in, "How did you even get into such a high-profile banquet today?"

Yang Hao followed up, saying, "This guy must have come in just to freeload!"

The surrounding rich second generations laughed as they sized up Long Fei, not knowing how he had managed to offend these well-born young men.

Lin Yingying scolded, "He’s my bodyguard, naturally I brought him in."

Tan Yaozong seemed to have caught something to harp on, sneering, "Bodyguard, eh? The security today is under the charge of my uncle, and I believe he said that no one without an invitation is allowed in. Especially this bodyguard, do you see anyone else that brought one?"

Wuu Yaodong immediately waved his hand, signaling someone to call the security personnel over, to have Long Fei taken away.

The security personnel had neglected their duty earlier; they only insisted on checking Lin Yingying’s invitation, not Long Fei’s.

A burly man approached Long Fei and said, "Sir, may I ask if you have an invitation? If not, please come with us to leave!"

Lin Yingying spoke up for Long Fei, "He’s responsible for my protection, so can he not come in?"

The burly man replied, "There are seats available in the reception hall up front, specifically provided for drivers and bodyguards."

Wuu Yaodong and his two companions burst into mocking laughter, "Poor trash, did you hear that? Wait in the dog kennel up front. What makes you think you’re fit to mingle with us?"

Lin Yingying’s brows furrowed in anger, and she glanced at Long Fei, preparing to leave with him.

There’s no point in staying at such a party.

Long Fei glanced at them, took the invitation out indifferently, and said to the security personnel, "I am the chief physician of Hundred Herbs Hall, here’s my invitation!"

"A doctor?"

The security personnel sized him up, took the invitation for a look, and indeed it was issued by this venue.

Wuu Yaodong and his companions were stunned, not expecting Long Fei to actually be a doctor. That seemed far too unlikely!

He suggested to the security personnel, "That invitation might have been stolen by this kid, you’d better check it thoroughly!"

The security personnel nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and reported the invitation’s number.

In a moment, feedback came back.

It said that the chief physician mentioned on the invitation was already in the backyard.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Long Fei frowned deeply.

Speaking of which, this all started with Chang Baichuan, the doctor from Hundred Herbs Hall.

That day, he had made a phone call to his master.

Knowing that this time it was to treat General Shen, he changed his mind at the last minute and decided to attend the banquet.

Originally, he had given up his spot to Long Fei.

Later, he claimed that he had lost his own invitation, so he had another one reissued to get in.

Thus, Long Fei’s invitation was now redundant.

A crowd burst into laughter led by Wuu Yaodong and his companions, looking at Long Fei as if he was a clown.

Lin Yingying’s face reddened, and regardless of whether Long Fei’s invitation was genuine or not, she was determined to defend her man at this moment.

She exclaimed to the crowd, "What’s so funny, a bunch of ignorant fools. We’re too lazy to stay here and keep you company!"

She grabbed Long Fei and walked off with an air of nonchalance.

The crowd exchanged glances, with those who recognized her in surprise.

They hadn’t expected the eldest miss of the Lin Family to publicly stand up for this freeloader.

Long Fei let out a faint sigh, unfazed by everyone’s mocking gazes.

He had intended to provide medical consultation, but who knew things would turn out like this.

Just as he and Lin Yingying were about to leave, they heard a tender shout from behind, "Wait a minute!"

The crowd parted, letting through a procession from the backyard.

At the forefront was a girl in a white, ancient-style dress, her black hair cascading down her back, pinned up with a hair bun and adorned with a silver hairpin.

Her complexion was snow-white, radiant and peerless, as if she had stepped straight out of ancient times.
