The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 369

The two walked together, turning through the twists and turns of the alleyways, stepping on the snow-covered ground, passing by children setting off firecrackers in the lanes, and arriving at the King Mansion where Old Master Mo resided.

As soon as they entered the alley, a stifling aura of death, as if being targeted by a venomous snake, shot over from the distance. It felt like being aimed at by a sniper hiding up high.

Every step Ye Tian took, he felt immense pressure. When he arrived in front of the gate, he stopped, while pulling He Ku to a halt with him. Then, he looked back to the northeast corner. That area was a newly developed residential district with buildings as tall as forty stories, and several other properties were steadily rising nearby. This was all part of the hutong district, and Ye Tian didn’t believe any developer would dare to covet this land. Therefore, a large part of the reason for this development must be to protect the officials residing here, or perhaps merely to conveniently position snipers by placing a few buildings here.

What a bold move! With just a word, several buildings could shoot up in a civilian area. Just for the security of a few individuals, who knows how many people’s relocation problems this might involve.

When Ye Tian turned his head back, the sniper hundreds of meters away was startled. Looking again, he saw Ye Tian in his scope, smiling back at him. Had he been exposed?

The sniper, taken aback, turned to his companion and said, "Suspicious target spotted, increase vigilance."

This was an ordinary residential house filled with various types of equipment, housing top-tier talents from all walks of life, whether they were top computer hackers, eccentric geniuses in construction, or a stunningly beautiful woman from a famous artistic family. In short, there was not a single idler or useless person here.

Hearing the sniper’s words, everyone started bustling about; various electronic devices were activated and within roughly thirty seconds, detailed data were being printed out. An old man grabbed a sheet of paper, glanced at it, and made a call on a dedicated line, "Old Chief..."

These three words made everyone’s hearts skip a beat. Who was this guy to have brought the Old Chief into this?

Not long after, the old man hung up the phone in the room and declared, "It’s safe." On hearing this reassurance, everyone dropped what they were doing and went back to their own business. Only the young man with the sniper rifle stubbornly kept an eye on Ye Tian, who stood at the doorway until he disappeared inside.

...

In the courtyard, only Old Man Mo and a middle-aged man were together. Seeing the cautious demeanor and the biting aura emanating from the man, Ye Tian guessed that he might be one of the legendary top experts of the imperial guards.

Feeling the middle-aged man’s gaze upon him, the man looked back at Ye Tian, giving him a cursory scan without lingering too long.

"You still know to come here, huh? Leaving an old man like me here alone, can you bear it?"

Ye Tian internally cursed this arrogantly disgusting old man, "I’m not your son-in-law; you’d better find a man for your granddaughter to marry off soon. Otherwise, there’ll be no one to knock over a bowl for you when you croak."

These harsh words did not bother Old Man Mo, who seemed rather content, "Heh, you even know the tradition of knocking over a bowl. You’re much better than those nephews of mine."

Old Man Mo lay in the rocking chair in the courtyard, basking in the midday sun, quite content. Ye Tian was envious; this, he thought, was the life!

"Got something to tell you."

Old Man Mo raised his hand to stop him, "Someone is going after you. Are you prepared?"

"Who?"

"Difficult to deal with."

"No matter. A few more lice do not itch, and a few more debts do not press. What is unavoidable cannot be dodged, and who is fated to die will not survive. Bring it on."

Old Man Mo stroked his chin with a smile, "I can’t bear to see you die. Make the most of things and give it all you’ve got."

"So you do want to milk me dry after all?"

"Pretty much. Look how honest I am," Old Man Mo admitted with a chuckle.

Ye Tian rolled his eyes and pursed his lips.

"Alright, go ahead and tell me about your business."

Ye Tian saw that Old Man Mo’s expression was serious, so he briefly reported on the affairs of the He father and son. Of course, he omitted Chuanzi’s part. He had already thought it through: facing the national organizations without sufficient leverage would mean he was no match for them. With these top-secret documents, it wasn’t that the state wouldn’t dare to touch him, but at least they would consider the tumultuous waves that the leakage might cause before making a move on him.

Dragon Team was directly under the control of the Prime Minister and would do anything to maintain their political stability, provided it was in their fundamental interest.

Hearing Ye Tian’s account, Old Man Mo just shook his head slightly, "Have you ever seen a tiger swat a mosquito?"

Ye Tian was baffled, not understanding his meaning.

Old Man Mo stood up, stretched his limbs, "The Capital’s Public Security Bureau would specially allocate personnel to handle a case – imagine the resources. Moreover, even an outsider like you could see its flaws; how could they not realize? Someone special must have approached you, right?"

Ye Tian shook his head.

"You little rascal, still playing dumb with me. The landlady of that motel is my person. Heh, not bad looking, right?"

Ye Tian was astonished and then cursed, you old undying thing, so you’ve been plotting behind my back. And speaking of plotting, Ye Tian broke into a cold sweat. Thinking further, it seemed he had long been manipulated by these grandfather and grandson.

Seeing Ye Tian’s shifting expressions, Old Man Mo knew what he was thinking, "Don’t think of me as so filthy. You’re just a pawn, do you think you’re worth my scheming? I won’t harm you."

"Quit it, just now you were all about making the most of things and exerting all efforts."

"I didn’t say using your effort."

"Enough, enough, you old man, still playing word games with me and I’m not a bit younger. I came today to ask you for a favor, to leave this child with you for a few days to look after."

"This isn’t a childcare home."

"Then I won’t help you."

"Then I won’t let you see your missus."

"... You’re ruthless!"

Ye Tian couldn’t be fully committed while taking care of He Ku. If He Ku were an adult, it would be better since he could protect himself, but he was a child and also the most deeply involved person in the case. Constantly running around, something was bound to go wrong. Ye Tian had considered leaving him with Xiao Jian, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. To be honest, they weren’t that close of friends. In the end, this was the safest place.
