The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 377
Chapter 377: 377
Asking Zheng Dazhi about these matters was definitely not going to work, Ye Tian could only start with Zheng Ergou. But then the problem arose, Zheng Ergou seemed to have vanished from the face of the Earth, nowhere to be found. Later, when Ye Tian made his move on Zheng Dazhi, he indeed discovered some traces.
Zheng Dazhi would visit a small motel every other day, each visit lasting about half an hour, but the specific times were not set. Ye Tian didn’t know who was inside, but guessed that it must be someone with a very close relationship to him. Later, sneaking into the motel to check, sure enough, Zheng Ergou was there.
Another afternoon, Zheng Dazhi came out of the motel, lit a cigarette, and from the look on his face, this guy was not in a good mood. He at least tried to light it a few times without success, then angrily threw both the cigarette and the lighter to the ground, the lighter breaking into several pieces.
It seems the brothers don’t get along very well.
Ye Tian walked into the motel, asked the owner for a room, and as it happened, it was right next to Zheng Ergou’s room. Ye Tian took the key and went upstairs.
and 205, the former was Zheng Ergou’s, the latter Ye Tian’s.
Ye Tian knocked on the door.
"Who the hell is it!" The voice was loud, seemingly angry. Ye Tian didn’t speak, but kept knocking on the door.
"Fuck off, who is it?!"
Hurried footsteps came from inside; he really was angry. Ye Tian really wanted to know what the two brothers had just been talking about.
The door opened, then the expression on Zheng Ergou’s face began to flip like scenes from a movie.
Anger, bewilderment, fear, indifference, begging... a mixture of emotions, clearly pain-staking.
"Since I’m here, aren’t you going to invite me in to sit?"
Zheng Ergou laughed twice, a laugh that sent chills down Ye Tian’s spine. Sure enough, a knife was pulled from behind him, and then thrust straight into Ye Tian’s belly.
Ye Tian had anticipated this move. Without lifting his hand, he pulled the door wide open with a "creak", trapping both the bone and the knife in the gap. His hand trembled, the knife fell down, Ye Tian kicked up with the tip of his foot and caught the knife in his hand. Reversing the blade, he placed it against Zheng Ergou’s neck. Just as the mouth that wanted to scream for help opened wide, it froze mid-air in an O shape, unable to make a sound.
"Not bad for a performance, get up, lead me into your room. Don’t even think about playing tricks, I spared your life that night, and that was me being nice. I’m in a bad mood today, keep talking, and I’ll chop you up right here!"
Zheng Ergou slowly retreated until Ye Tian closed the door to the room with his foot, leaving just the two of them inside.
"What are you staring at? Think you’re tough?" Ye Tian patted his face with the machete, "That day I wasn’t afraid of twenty-something punks, and you think I’m scared of you? What are you glaring at? You think your eyes are bigger than mine?"
Ye Tian glared and indeed, his eyes were bigger than Zheng Ergou’s.
Zheng Ergou completely lost his spirit, "What do you want?"
"I don’t want anything, it’s you guys who keep troubling me. Won’t let me die in silence, and won’t let me explode in silence? Speak up, that money of yours, where did it come from? If you make it clear, maybe I’ll be in a good mood and let you go, also saving your brother the trouble of coming here to scold you every day. Look at you, a grown man, yet you let a little kid boss you around, and you, you just take orders. It’s embarrassing, I’m embarrassed for you."
Zheng Ergou was already annoyed, especially with what Zheng Dazhi had said to him, scolding him almost every day, and these complaints always pointed out that he was a big idiot, a big moron who could only fight but not think. He had long been unhappy, and now with Ye Tian provoking him, the rage in his chest was fully ignited. Being pinned to the chair, he lunged directly at Ye Tian.
"Piece of trash!"
Ye Tian kicked him, sending him tumbling to the ground, knocking over the stool behind him as well. Likely having hit his back, Zheng Ergou didn’t get up for a long time.
"With those skills, you dare to make a move on me, let me tell you the truth. Even if four of you, father and sons, ganged up on me, what could you do to me? I didn’t come today with bad intentions, just wanted to have a word with you. Once we’re done talking, I’ll leave. But if you continue being ungrateful, be careful I’ll hack your bones to pieces!"
Zheng Ergou shuddered as he met Ye Tian’s gaze, feeling a chill deep in his bones. He could tell that this guy was not joking; he was dead serious. If he dared to make another move, this madman would really slice into him and then, with relish, hold up a piece of bone on the tip of his knife.
What a fucking madman!
"What do you want?"
"Not much, first sit up!" Ye Tian plunged the knife into the table, and while looking at the watermelon knife, said, "Such a long knife, where did you hide it just now?"
Zheng Ergou stood up, leaning on the stool, then sat down at the table, "Behind my lower back."
"Doesn’t that tire you out, carrying such a long blade?"
"I’m used to it."
"Oh."
Finally, Ye Tian shifted his gaze from the watermelon knife onto Zheng Ergou’s body, "Now, I’m going to start asking about your business." freёnovelkiss.com
Zheng Ergou didn’t speak, tilting his head to one side.
"The five million you talked about, how did you get it? And who else knows?"
"I earned it myself. But they wouldn’t let me spend it. So I had to sneak around to use it."
Ye Tian squinted at him for a while, making Zheng Ergou feel very uncomfortable under his scrutiny.
"Alright, so that means the money is actually yours, your brother Zheng Dazhi has taken control of it and even forbids you from spending it."
Zheng Ergou thought for a moment, then nodded, "That’s right, it’s like that... uh!"
Ye Tian brought his head down with a chop on his thigh, but this time he used the back of the knife, not the blade.
"You really aren’t honest, do you know that bad kids aren’t likeable? Alright, now I’ll give you another chance. Don’t think I’m some good guy, actually, I’m even worse than your brother."
Zheng Ergou grimaced in pain; the initial hit hadn’t hurt, but now, he starting to feel pain radiating from the inside out, the kind that made one tremble.
"Speak up, what’s the deal with that money?"
"We earned it together, but he said the timing wasn’t right, that we had to wait a while before we could use the money, so we had to wait. And that waiting turned out to be several years. I couldn’t wait any longer, so I had to steal it."
Ye Tian nodded, "How did you get this money?"
"We earned it together."
"Who all were involved?"
"Me and my brother."
"How did you earn it? By giving guidance or doing manual labor?"
