Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 558 - Revenge

“It must be hard for you, Lin Yi bro. But rest assured, I’ll pay you generously. Let’s talk about the admirer you mentioned earlier.” Jianwen couldn’t resist the topic anymore.

“An bro, listen to this recording first.” Lin Yi handed Jianwen the pen recorder.

Jianwen quickly took the pen and pressed the play button. Jianwen’s face turned ugly after listening to a few seconds of it and let loose a torrent of abuse in the presence of Lin Yi. “Motherf*cker, who is this mongrel?! How dare he gave me a green hat to wear!1 I’ll kill him!”

“Hehe, An bro, don’t worry. I’ve rescued Mengyao, and she’s still a virgin. That bastard was just trying to threaten Uncle Chu,” Lin Yi explained.

Jianwen might give up on Mengyao if he thought that Mengyao was no longer a virgin, so Lin Yi had to reveal the truth in order to manipulate Jianwen to attack his love rival, Pinliang.

“Lin Yi bro, luckily you were there to rescue her in time! Your kindness goes without saying; I won’t forget the things that you’ve done, I promise!” Jianwen said emotionally as he slapped Lin Yi’s shoulder. He believed that Lin Yi was sincerely helping him after accepting the bribe! Honestly, Jianwen couldn’t be blamed for believing Lin Yi, because Lin Yi was just a bodyguard of Mengyao. He had a girlfriend already, and Jianwen even paid him a large sum of money so they wouldn’t have any conflicts of interests. Jianwen didn’t see why a mere bodyguard would refuse this job.

“Ah, by the way, An bro, this love rival of yours has to be punished this time! I can’t guarantee the safety of Mengyao next time, y’know,” Lin Yi reminded.

“You’re absolutely right; I’ll punish him for sure. How dare he have the nerve to touch my Mengyao!” Jianwen sneered. “What’s his name again? Tell me, I’ll kill him tomorrow!”

“Zhong Pinliang. I’ll send you his photo from my phone.” Lin Yi then sent the photo to Jianwen via Bluetooth.

“Lin Yi bro, I’d wanted to treat you a meal, but now that Mengyao has just returned, you should stay in the villa and protect her!” Jianwen said, “I have to head back home and get ready for the revenge. I’ll make sure to treat you next time!”

“The meal is not a problem; let’s talk about the fee.” Lin Yi smiled and looked at Jianwen.

“Not a problem!” Jianwen was even more generous this time since Lin Yi had accomplished something that he requested. “I’ll deposit 10 million to your account tomorrow!”

“Heh, thanks, An bro.” Lin Yi smiled and didn’t reject the money. 10 million was nothing to Lin Yi, but who would reject money? He chose to rob as much as possible from Jianwen.

Pengzhan decided to stay the night in the villa for the first time, surprisingly. Mengyao and Yushu had planned to rest properly and skip the school the next day. In fact, Lin Yi wanted them to stay in the villa until Jianwen finished the job.

Pinliang went to school by taxi as usual. Pinliang’s face didn’t give anything away, but he was losing his patience. What was Pengzhan doing? It had already been two days since he had contacted him. Yes or no, he should at least reply, right?

After getting out of the taxi, he strode to the school entrance but was stopped by four muscled men. One of them asked, “Are you Zhong Pinliang?”

“Erm… what do you guys want?” Pinliang was frightened. He was puzzled but he knew that things weren’t looking too good here, so he felt like escaping.

However, the muscle surrounded him in every direction. He couldn’t run. The man who asked him even compared him to the picture in his hand and nodded to the other muscle. The men grabbed him and dragged him to a nearby bread truck.

Jianwen was sitting in the passenger seat. He looked at the captured Pinliang and went into frenzy. “Holy f*ck, how dare he have the balls to touch my Mengyao?! Cut his kidney out, make him suffer, and send him to the Seven Hells!”

On the west side of Songshan, at the back of a landfill, Pinliang was pushed into a basement by the four muscled men. The smell of disinfectant filled the whole basement. The saturated, pungent smell made Pinliang sneeze.

“Who are you guys? Why did you capture me? Do you know who my father is? It’s Zhong Fabai! If you know him, then leave me alone, or else I’ll make you guys pay!” Pinliang roared, putting on a tough act.

“Motherf*cker, why are you shouting? Do you wish to die right now?” A tattooed man walked up to him and slapped his cheek. “Are you tired of living?!”

“You… you…” Pinliang was enraged, but he was afraid to anger the tattooed guy. He looked like a triad member. Although his dad was also part of the underworld, he was in the hand of others. He couldn’t just do whatever he wanted, could he? These people might even kill him on the spot.

“Bring him in, I have to check his body,” the tattooed guy ordered as he waved the others over. The four muscle brought Pinliang into a room.

The tattooed guy turned around and went into another room. Jianwen was sitting in the room and staring at a razor-sharp scalpel with cold eyes.

“Wen bro, do you want to do it yourself?” the tattooed guy asked with respect.

“Yeah, I’ll make the first cut. Inject some paralyzing solution into his body; I want him to remember all the pain. This is his punishment for touching my woman!” Jianwen said coldly.

“Wen bro, he just said that his father is Zhong Fabai,” the tattooed guy said carefully.

“Zhong Fabai? What does he do?” Jianwen asked.

The tattooed guy started explaining Fabai’s work. “He’s a big shot in this city who owns a club and a hotel—”

“What is this bullshit? His background isn’t worth mentioning.” Jianwen lost interest in listening further and waved his hand impatiently. “Let’s do it.”

“Yes!” Tattooed guy saw that Jianwen had lost interest in Fabai’s background, so he kept his mouth shut and left to set things up.

An unknown drug was injected into Pinliang’s body. He felt numb and feeble, falling straight onto the bed….
