The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 117 - 117 117 Cheng Yi

117: Chapter 117 Cheng Yi 117: Chapter 117 Cheng Yi At this point, Ye Shikai finally remembered who the man in front of him was.

No wonder he looked somewhat familiar; this man was one of Luo Shiqi’s bodyguards.

Ye remembered that during Du Ya’s attempted assassination, he was right by Luo Shiqi’s side, protecting her inseparably.

Since he was Luo Shiqi’s guard, he must be quite familiar with Ye himself.

Ye guessed they had all seen the ambiguous moments between himself and Luo Shiqi last time.

Recalling that Dark Night Bar is Luo Shiqi’s property, he realized that the bar must be under the protection of her people.

He had wanted to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress but someone had already taken care of the situation for him.

Nonetheless, it was better this way, with someone else resolving the issue and sparing Ye the trouble.

Ye Shikai handed the man a cigarette, which he gladly accepted.

“Mr.

Ye, from time to time this bar encounters these petty thugs.

I didn’t expect that they would trouble a friend of Mr.

Ye.

Please rest assured, I will deal with these people severely,” the man said.

“Mr.

Cheng,” Ye Shikai remembered that the green-haired hooligan had called this man Cheng earlier.

“My name is Cheng Yi, Mr.

Ye can just call me Cheng,” the man introduced himself with a very respectful tone.

“Alright, Cheng, I’ll go check on my friend,” Ye Shikai gestured towards Li Mengmeng not far away.

She must have been scared just now, and she even wounded that punk.

Cheng Yi was somewhat worried seeing this; he knew well about the relationship between Ye and Luo Shiqi, and he had also witnessed the power Ye displayed when dealing with Du Ya and his goons.

If Ye’s friend got a fright in Cheng Yi’s establishment, it would be quite awkward for Cheng.

“Are you alright?” Ye Shikai approached the bar, gently pat Li Mengmeng on the back, and soothed her in a soft voice.

“I’m fine, Brother Kai, thank you for coming out to rescue me earlier,” Li Mengmeng regained her composure.

She had only panicked for a moment when she took out her knife, but as soon as Ye stepped in, her eyes were filled with nothing but admiration.

Now that she saw those men had been taken away, she felt reassured.

“Silly girl, there’s no need to thank me,” Ye Shikai said with a smile.

He felt a natural instinct to protect this sister who had played with him since childhood.

It was his duty, both emotionally and rationally, to protect her.

“Miss Li, I’m truly sorry for startling you.

This is a small compensation, please accept it,” Cheng Yi was more concerned about promptly comforting Li Mengmeng.

He couldn’t afford to offend either Ye Shikai or Luo Shiqi.

Cheng Yi knew Li Mengmeng; she had been part-time at Dark Night Bar for a long time and was quite pretty too, and he had given her the occasional glance.

Now that he knew Li Mengmeng was a friend of Ye Shikai, Cheng Yi was relieved he hadn’t offended her.

Cheng Yi handed over a bank card with both hands.

Li Mengmeng was somewhat surprised to see Cheng personally apologize to her, a minor employee.

However, after witnessing the exchange between Cheng and herself just now, Li Mengmeng had a good guess as to why.

Still, she hesitated a bit.

“Mengmeng, take it,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.

Although he didn’t know how much money was on Cheng’s card, it was certainly a substantial amount.

Cheng looked after a big place, and there would be plenty of profits.

Plus, Cheng likely offered the money largely because of Ye himself, wanting to curry favor.

If the compensation was too little, it wouldn’t match up to Ye’s own prestige.

“Alright then,” Li Mengmeng ultimately accepted the card, and Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Li Mengmeng would refuse the money.

However, once Ye suggested her to accept it, Cheng’s hanging heart was set at ease, indicating that he had no intention of holding a grudge.

“Mr.

Ye, Miss Li, I have some things to attend to and must leave.

I’ve already informed them, so all expenses for Mr.

Ye tonight will be waived.”

“Alright, thank you very much,” Ye Shikai replied, and Cheng took a deep breath and left the scene.

“Brother Kai, what kind of relationship do you have with Cheng?” Li Mengmeng asked curiously.

“He’s a friend of mine,” Ye Shikai explained.

“Mengmeng, keep this card for yourself.”

“Brother Kai, is this really okay?” Li Mengmeng felt somewhat uneasy, guessing the card contained a considerable sum.

“It’s fine, just keep it,” Ye Shikai said.

“Uncle, that was quite a heroic rescue,” Han Ruoyao and Su Ziqing slowly approached, with Han Ruoyao teasing him, though there was a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Su Ziqing had something to say, but recalling how she had just been caught by the short hairs, she decided against speaking.

“Let me introduce you.

This is Su Ziqing, my wife’s sister, and this is her friend, Han Ruoyao,” Ye Shikai introduced them to Li Mengmeng.

“Hello, you can just call me Qingqing.”

“Hello, you can call me Yaoyao.”

“Hello.”

“Mengmeng, let me take you home first, it’s getting late, and Mrs.

Zhao will be worried about you,” Ye Shikai checked his watch; it was almost eleven o’clock.

The bar was a mixed bag, and Ye Shikai was really concerned about Li Mengmeng’s safety at work, like today, if he hadn’t come with her, then those hoodlums would have taken advantage.

“Okay, let me pack up,” Li Mengmeng walked into the staff room, not expecting Ye Shikai to follow her in.

“Mengmeng, you should find another part-time job next time, I can help you look for one,” Ye Shikai persuaded Li Mengmeng while Su Ziqing and Han Ruoyao were away.

“Why?” Hearing this, Li Mengmeng seemed unhappy.

“The bar is crowded, and it’s not a place for girls to come often.

If you need money, I can give it to you.”

“It’s fine, thank you, Brother Kai, I want to be self-sufficient,” Li Mengmeng saw his concern and was happy, but after a moment of hesitation, she still firmly declined his offer.

“Okay then, but please be very careful,” Ye Shikai could not win over Li Mengmeng, and although she had to continue working here, he would not let such an incident happen again.

He planned to have a word with Cheng Yi later, asking him to especially protect Li Mengmeng.

Ye believed that with Cheng Yi’s care in Dark Night Bar, those hoodlums wouldn’t dare to target her again.

“Okay, Brother Kai, I’m ready, let’s go,” Li Mengmeng had just put on her backpack, and Ye Shikai took it from her, carrying it in his hand.
