The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 295: Wrap Up After the Fight

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Wrap Up After the Fight

Ajian coughed blood from his mouth, reminding He Hongtao with two dry coughs.

Just now, Long Fei’s inner strength was so potent that it was very likely he had already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, just like his master.

Once one reached the Grandmaster Realm, even bullets could not harm them.

If He Hongtao dared to shoot, he would very likely die here today.

Because Long Fei would be considered to be acting in self-defense, and killing him would just be killing him.

He Hongtao’s palms sweated profusely, his mouth twitching for a long time before he finally decided not to take the risk.

His current status had not come easily; it was the time for him to enjoy life.

If he risked everything he had over such a trivial matter today, it wouldn’t be worth it at all.

Swallowing his pride now would at most cost him some face.

Later on, if someone took care of Long Fei discreetly, he could still reclaim his dignity.

As he was hesitating, Zhang Guifa offered him an out, fawning over Long Fei and saying, "Big brother, we are all businessmen. Can we talk this out nicely? Let’s just call it even today! I’ve let off steam, and you’ve had your advantage. I think we can just leave it at this!"

Long Fei ignored him and just kept his gaze on He Hongtao.

He Hongtao seized the opportunity to laugh heartily, "Indeed, it’s better to resolve enmities than to hold grudges. We could say that today’s incident means we don’t have to be strangers anymore! Little brother, since you’ve called me Hong Ye, we now know each other. One of these days, I’ll personally host a dinner where we must have a good chat!"

Long Fei nodded, not saying much.

He signaled with his eyes to the group to leave the place quickly.

The group of classmates supported each other, feeling incredibly guilty inside.

He had helped them so much, yet they had harbored ill intentions just moments before.

They each thanked Long Fei one by one and quickly slipped out of the private room.

Those who had only just been hampered by the strong man’s attack were now running even faster than if their legs had been unharmed, teeth gritted in determination.

Xue Jun and Su Hongda had strange expressions as they watched Long Fei for a moment before they left.

Hong Ye was truly a man of the underworld, an experienced old hand in society.

He knew when to pick things up and when to let them go.

If it had been any other gang leader, they would have fought to the death over so-called face.

But Hong Ye was different; he had survived until now precisely because he could gauge the situation clearly.

Long Fei left calmly with Wang Xiaoya and the other two, and after they exited, the room stayed silent for a long while.

He Hongtao turned to Sister Hong and gave her an instruction, "Ah Hong, after you go down, investigate the background of this kid for me, the more detailed, the better."

Sister Hong nodded, clearly curious about Long Fei as well.

Downstairs, Long Fei and his group got into the car.

Leilei was still feeling a little traumatized; if Long Fei had not been there, they would have been in serious trouble.

As soon as that Boss Zhang entered the door, he had sized them up, and the look in his eyes made their intentions clear to anyone.

After starting the car, she asked, "Where are you all planning to go now?"

Zhang Li eagerly responded, "Let’s go to my place. Long Fei has helped us out so much today. I’ll treat you to a drink!"

Leilei and Wang Xiaoya exchanged looks. After the shock they had just experienced, they felt the need to drink something to calm their nerves.

Long Fei had intended to go home, but Wang Xiaoya grabbed his hand, so he ended up following them back to the rental apartment.

At the entrance of the residential complex, Zhang Li and her friends bought lots of food.

They were not like Sister Yingying and her sisters; they were from the lower echelons, where cooking was an essential skill.

Long Fei followed along, the beneficiary of their skills. He had only had some beer earlier, and his stomach was truly starting to feel hungry now.

Back at the place, the three women busied themselves in the kitchen, and soon the table was filled with food.

There were meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, cold and hot ones, stir-fried and stewed varieties—probably fearing that he wouldn’t have enough to eat, they prepared more than a dozen different dishes.

Zhang Li brought out a bottle of Moutai she had kept hidden for fifty years. After opening it, she set the table and filled a cup for everyone.

Leilei said with joy, "It’s not easy, the three sisters from our Etiquette Department haven’t had a meal together in a long time."

Wang Xiaoya raised her glass and said, "I didn’t even have a chance to talk to Little Li earlier, let’s toast to her engagement!"

"We should indeed celebrate, have a drink, and let all the unpleasantness pass."

Leilei raised her glass.

Long Fei followed suit and drank with them.

After a sip, Zhang Li set down her cup and brushed her hair back, looking somewhat ashamed.

Leilei and Wang Xiaoya were so kind to her, yet she had been on guard, deliberately not sitting with them.

Because she knew Su Hongda’s nature and was afraid that if Su Hongda took a fancy to them, he would dump her.

Thinking back to how Su Hongda had flirted with Xie Xiaoyao just earlier, Zhang Li couldn’t help but cry, covering her face.

Wang Xiaoya, alongside Leilei and Long Fei, exchanged looks and patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Little Li, it’s all in the past, don’t think too much about it."

Zhang Li took a deep breath and complained with a sob, "All I wanted was to marry a rich man, why does fate have to be so cruel to me?"

After today, there would be a rift between her and Su Hongda no matter what.

Moreover, Su Hongda had offended Hong Ye.

Though Hong Ye let them off on the surface, who knew what hindrances he would create for them later.

As for Su Hongda, the old lecher, it looked like his luck was about to run out.

Long Fei picked up his bowl and chopsticks and continued eating, ignoring them.

He did not want to comment on Zhang Li’s thoughts. People have their own ambitions, and he wasn’t related to Zhang Li, so it wasn’t his place to say anything.

Leilei looked at Zhang Li seriously and said, "Little Li, Xiaoya and I can see it clearly. That Su Hongda doesn’t love you at all. He can flirt with Xie Xiaoyao right in front of you. He’s simply an old lecher. As a friend, my advice to you is to give up on him!"

Wang Xiaoya nodded and said, "Right, you’re a manager now, earning tens of thousands a month. We don’t need to rely on men to live well."

As she said this, she glanced guiltily at Long Fei.

She said she didn’t rely on a man, yet it was always this man who came to her rescue.

Zhang Li took out a tissue, wiped the corners of her eyes, and filled everyone’s glasses with the liquor bottle again.

She raised her glass specifically to Long Fei and said, "Long Fei, this drink is for you. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to even leave the Di Zun Clubhouse today. No matter why you helped me, I owe you this favor."

She tilted her head back and downed the drink in one gulp.

This wasn’t just drinking, this was her trying to get herself drunk.

Long Fei raised his glass and drank with her, actually feeling quite sorry for her.

It was not easy to put together an engagement celebration, wanting to show off in front of classmates, choosing to flaunt wealth.

But things didn’t go as hoped, and she ended up losing face instead.

Her life was indeed quite tragic, always trying to sell herself for a good price, but ending up each time with unreliable buyers.

Like Chu Feng, who left as soon as he got what he wanted.

Like Su Hongda, an old lecher past fifty, who never truly cared for her.

But, these were her own choices, and she couldn’t blame others.

He ate over a dozen bowls of rice, finishing all the dishes on the table.

After filling his stomach, he went to sleep in Wang Xiaoya’s bedroom.

The three women stayed up all night talking, laughing and crying, sharing the bitterness in their hearts.

Even Wang Xiaoya didn’t have everything go her way.

Long Fei might be very good, but he was too outstanding.

Her pressure was immense, and her life was not as carefree and happy as Leilei and Zhang Li imagined.
