BXBX NOVEL Chapter 103
Although slightly puzzled, Ye Tian pressed the answer button. “Mr. Lin, what’s wrong?”
“Mr. Ye… Xiyan has dismissed you from the Lin Corporation. You no longer need to be her bodyguard,” Lin Canghai said with a wry smile.
Lin Xiyan was adamant about dismissing Ye Tian, and he had no choice but to agree.
“However, Mr. Ye, you need not be too disheartened. I can arrange another job for you.”
“She dismissed me?” Ye Tian frowned, his face instantly darkening. “That audacious woman, how dare she dismiss me, the leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps?”
“No need, I’ll find another job myself. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.” Ye Tian spoke indifferently, clearly in a bad mood. In his eyes, Lin Xiyan was already his woman, and now she dared to dismiss him? And why didn’t Mr. Lin stop her?
“Wait a moment… I have news about the person you asked me to find.”
“News?” Ye Tian’s face brightened, and his tone softened.
“Yes, Su Qingzhu is currently working as a maid at Jiang Che’s Wolong Villa,” Lin Canghai said with an odd tone. Irony indeed, just days after Ye Tian had a conflict with Jiang Che, Lin Canghai discovered that Su Qingzhu was Jiang Che’s maid.
“A maid for Jiang Che?” Hearing this, Ye Tian’s face immediately darkened again. He had considered a hundred different scenarios, even that she might have already married, but he never imagined that Su Qingzhu would be a maid for Jiang Che.
“I see, thank you, Mr. Lin.” Ye Tian thanked him and hung up. Now that he knew where Su Qingzhu was, he had to try. Maybe if he told her about his relationship with her brother, she might be willing to leave with him.
Determined, Ye Tian didn’t hesitate and immediately hailed a cab to Jiang Che’s Wolong Villa.
…
Stepping out of the taxi, Ye Tian looked at the villa and frowned. “This Jiang Che really lives in luxury.” The villa appeared to be almost ten thousand square meters. Was it just for living?
“Sir, this is a private residence. No entry without an invitation,” the security guard at the gate said politely.
“I’m here to find Su Qingzhu…” Ye Tian gave the guard a cold look, speaking indifferently.
The guard, intimidated by Ye Tian’s aura but trying to maintain composure, replied, “Sir, we don’t have anyone named Su Qingzhu here. You must be mistaken.”
“She’s your young master’s maid, and I’m her brother,” Ye Tian clarified, preferring not to resort to violence if unnecessary.
“Then please wait a moment; I’ll notify someone.” The guard looked at Ye Tian and went to the security room to call the butler inside.
…
“Young master, someone claiming to be Ah Qing’s brother is here,” the butler said as he walked into the living room where Jiang Che was lounging.
“Ah Qing’s brother?” Jiang Che was momentarily surprised, then realized the butler must be referring to Ye Tian. “Let him in,” he said, a mischievous smile on his lips.
“Yes, Young master,” the butler replied and left.
“Young master, this…” After the butler left, Ah Qing looked at Jiang Che with confusion. Her brother had died years ago; who could this be?
“It must be someone using your brother’s name to get close to you. Let’s see what they’re up to,” Jiang Che explained.
Ah Qing nodded, not fully understanding but not questioning further.
…
“What are you doing here?” Ah Long, who was patrolling the yard, immediately tensed up when he saw Fu Bo leading Ye Tian in.
“You, a defeated subordinate!” Ye Tian, noticing Aolong, scoffed disdainfully.
“You…” Ah Long’s face turned red with anger, clearly provoked by Ye Tian’s words. He clenched his fists, ready to strike.
“What’s going on between you two?” Fu Bo frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two men.
Ah Long quickly explained the situation to Fu Bo. After hearing it, Fu Bo glanced meaningfully at Ye Tian.
“He claims to be Ah Qing’s brother. Regardless of any grudges, let’s see the young master first,” Fu Bo suggested, then led Ye Tian towards the villa.
Ah Long didn’t say anything more, but his eyes remained vigilant on Ye Tian, as if ready to act at the slightest provocation.
…
“Oh, you got out so soon?” Sitting on the couch in the villa’s living room, Jiang Che looked at Ye Tian brought in by Fu Bo, a playful smile on his lips, his eyes filled with disdain.
Ye Tian, ignoring Jiang Che’s gaze, turned his attention to the young girl massaging Jiang Che’s shoulders behind him.
His eyes lit up with amazement; her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows delicately arched, her face picturesque, and her lips curled in an intoxicating smile. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Are you Su Qingzhu?” Ye Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, taking a deep breath.
Seeing her delicate beauty, he had only one thought: The moment I meet your sister, I’m definitely winning over your brother! To his surprise, Su Dajiang, a burly and robust man, had such an exquisitely beautiful sister.
“Yes, I am Su Qingzhu. Who are you?” Ah Qing stopped massaging Jiang Che’s shoulders, furrowed her brows slightly, and looked at Ye Tian with a hint of confusion. She was sure she did not recognize the man in front of her.
“I am your brother’s comrade-in-arms. I came here at his request to take you away.” Ye Tian said with a gentle smile.
“And where is my brother?” Ah Qing glanced at Ye Tian, her tone neither warm nor cold.
“He… he sacrificed himself during a mission.” Ye Tian hesitated for a moment before slowly answering. He clearly hadn’t expected Ah Qing to be so indifferent; her reaction was far from what he had anticipated.
“Leave with me, this guy is no good.” Ye Tian looked at Jiang Che warily, remembering how he had been unexpectedly slapped and sent flying by this man at Lin’s place.
Jiang Che must possess some significant martial skills, and his level was probably comparable to his own.
Ah Qing gave Ye Tian a cold look and, without bothering to respond, went back to massaging Jiang Che’s shoulders.
Noticing that Ah Qing ignored him, Ye Tian’s face turned awkward. He had imagined numerous scenarios before coming, but he never thought Ah Qing would be so cold.
Moreover, shouldn’t she be devastated upon hearing about her brother’s death? Why was she so calm? Could it be that her relationship with her brother was not good? At this moment, Ye Tian was utterly baffled.
“Are you done talking?” Jiang Che stood up from the sofa and walked over to Ye Tian, his eyes coldly fixed on him.
“What do you want to do?” Ye Tian, alert and wary, instinctively took a few steps back.
“Your arrogant attitude earlier really displeased me,” Jiang Che began. “So, I’ve decided to teach you a lesson and show you that there are always bigger fish in the sea.”
With that, Jiang Che raised his hand and slapped Ye Tian’s face.
Ye Tian’s expression changed instantly. He tried to block the attack, but he underestimated Jiang Che’s strength, which was beyond his ability to contend.
Though he managed to deflect most of the force with his elbow, he was still sent flying by the slap, crashing down next to a large tree after flying back several meters.
Struggling to his feet, Ye Tian coughed continuously, looking utterly disheveled. He hadn’t expected Jiang Che to be so powerful. Even after using all his strength to resist, he was still thrown back.
Ye Tian, holding his aching cheek, glared resentfully at Jiang Che. This was the second time! The leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps had been slapped twice by the same person? He would become a laughing stock if word got out!
“Not satisfied?” Jiang Che asked, seeing Ye Tian’s frustrated expression. “Fu Bo, take good care of our guest, Ye Tian. We mustn’t neglect him, or people might say I, Jiang Che, don’t know how to treat guests.”
“Of course, young master,” Fu Bo replied, stroking his goatee and approaching Ye Tian with a cheerful look. “My apologies, Mr. Ye…”
Without further ado, Fu Bo, swift as the wind, aimed a palm strike at Ye Tian’s chest.
Ye Tian’s face changed color. He quickly gathered all his internal strength to counter Fu Bo’s attack, sensing an overwhelming power from the old man. Fu Bo must be at least at the Transformation stage of cultivation!
“Bang!”
Upon the collision of their palms, Ye Tian was sent flying again. Mid-air and yet to land, Fu Bo appeared behind him and kicked his back.
Like a soccer ball, Ye Tian was kicked around in mid-air by Fu Bo.
Despite his amiable and benign appearance, Fu Bo was merciless in his attack. It was a one-sided crushing defeat. Ye Tian was beaten without the slightest ability to fight back, only able to scream in pain and despair in mid-air.
