Chapter 312 - Yao Yao the Tattletale
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Lin Yi nodded his head, satisfied. He tossed the door to the side. âHold on for now with the whole Jin Gubang thing- Iâll get your son back within one week. Donât try anything, Iâd rather not do anything to you and your sonâ¦â¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Yi stopped there.
âDonât worry- as long as my sonâs fine, Iâll cooperate!ââ Guangbo had thought things through- itâd be best if Lin Yi could bring his son back. He would have neither money or shares, but heâd be able to live a peaceful life with his son⦠Without gambling or drugs, his son might actually turn a new leaf for once.
âI hope youâll keep that promise.â Lin Yi looked deeply in to Guangboâs eyes- they were clear and awake. âIâll fulfill my end of the bargain. Give me details on your son- send it to my number: 152xxxx1234â¦â¦â
âIâll send it to you in just a moment! Um⦠Is Huangâ¦â¦â Guangbo asked carefully.
âHeâll live. An early phase golden class like him should be alright after half a month in the hospital.â Lin Yi waved a hand dismissively.
Guangbo felt a chill down his spine- Lin Yiâs assessment of Huang was fast and accurate⦠Just what sort of level was he on? Although, the stronger Lin Yi was the happier Guangbo would be- it only increased the chances of his son returning home safely, after all.
Lin Yi walked out the room and out the villa from the front door, no longer sneaking around. He got in his Beetle and disappeared from sight.
Beetle? Guangbo paused, his eyes on the licence plate as the car drove away. He remembered that it was Chen Yushuâs⦠That best friend of Mengyaoâs.
So he really was Mengyaoâs bodyguard? Guangbo found that hard to believe- why would someone this powerful be serving as bodyguard for Chu Mengyao? Even Chu Pengzhanâs Li Fu wasnât this strong, was he?
Guangbo shook his head- he decided that heâd stop pondering over Lin Yiâs identity. There wasnât any meaning to that anymore; he only needed to follow his instructions at this point.
He gave the nannyâs room a call, telling her to get Huang back into his room. The guy should be fine if Lin Yi said he was.
Huang had already woken by the time he was brought to his room. He struggled to open his eyes. âMister Xie, sorry⦠I couldnât protect youâ¦â¦â
âDonât say anything- the enemy was too strong. Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?â Huang had tried his best- the fault didnât lie with him. He just wasnât as strong as Lin Yi was.
âNo need for that⦠I just have to rest for a bitâ¦â¦â Huang shook his head. âHeâs gotta be at least a late phase golden classâ¦â¦ Mister Xie, are you hurt?â
âNoâ¦â¦â Guangbo smiled bitterly. Late phase golden class..? That was two levels higher than Huang- Huang never stood a chance in the first placeâ¦
Lin Yi drove back to the villa to see Pengzhanâs car still parked there. Only Uncle Fu was in the Bentley.
âWhereâs Uncle Chu?â Lin Yi asked after parking his car.
âIn the villa. Mister Chu wanted you to go to him directly after you got back.â Uncle Fu nodded to LIn Yi.
He entered the villa to say Pengzhan talking to Mengyao- Yushu was watching TV on her own.
Mengyao was a little upset at Lin Yi coming back this late again. âDaddy, look! Lin Yiâs always coming back late like this! You hired him to be a twenty-four hour follower, so where are his work ethics?!â
Mengyao eyed Lin Yi gleefully, pleased that her dad was here to catch him red-handed. No more messing around with girls for him!!
Much to Mengyaoâs surprise, her father spoke up before Lin Yi could explain himself, his tone solemn. âYao Yao, Yi was doing something for me! Also, heâs only responsible for taking care of your studies in the day- heâs not required to be with you at night, itâs just something he does because heâs responsible for your safety. Work ethics? He has his own things to attend to, too.â
âDaddyâ¦â¦.â Mengyao wasnât expecting to get a scolding- it was supposed to be Lin Yi! Upset, she glared at Lin Yi unhappily. This bastard⦠when had he won over her father like that?
She might very well have thought that Lin Yi was a son raised in secrecy if it werenât for her fatherâs loyalty to her mother, and the fact that her mother had only had one child!
âAlright, Yi, come talk with me for a bit⦠Yes, letâs talk in your room.â Pengzhan hadnât the energy to use on his daughter for now- the company was in a mess already. Heâd only put on a smile and talked about Mengyaoâs school life with her so she wouldnât worry⦠Lin Yiâs return was a higher priority here.
âAlright, Uncle Chu.â Lin Yi nodded and headed to his room with Pengzhan.
Pengzhan spoke up right after the door was closed, clearly in a rush. âWell? What did Xie Guangbo say?â
âHe wonât be meddling with Jin Gubang these couple of days- but Iâll have to go overseas to solve the problem at the root.â Lin Yi explained.
âOverseas? Whatâs happened?â Pengzhan was quite pleased at the news- Jin Gubang on his own was a threat he could contain by himself.
âXie Guangboâs son owes the mafia huge debts. One hundred million USD.â Lin Yi explained briefly. âXie Guangboâs supporting Jin Gubang because heâs promised to use the companyâs funds to pay off his sonâs debts!â
âSo that was why!!â Pengzhan said. âThen, youâre going overseas toâ¦â
âTo get his son back. My end of the deal.â Lin Yi said casually. âDonât worry, Uncle Chu- itâs less than twenty hours away. Two days should be enough for the job.â
âTwo days is all you need?â Pengzhan paused- Lin Yiâs efficiency and speed sure were extreme. He nodded. âIâll leave that to you then. Be carefulâ¦â
âBut the few days Iâm gone will be a bit of trouble for Uncle Fu- Iâm worried that Xie Guangbo might go back on his words. Thereâs no guarantee here, and Jin Gubang himself might go for something extreme in his panic.â Lin Yi said. âIâd have offed them directly if it wouldnât cause you trouble.â
âItâs no problem. Iâll have Li Fu look after Yao Yao the two days youâre away.â Pengzhan nodded. âBut do make sure that you prioritize your life- donât overstep your boundaries if things get out of hand. I could always just let Jin Gubang have the company, and at most Iâll just start over!â
