The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 72 - 00 Into the Net
72: Chapter 0072: Into the Net
72 -0072: Into the Net
At the top of the building, the lights in the CEO’s office were still on.
It was already past ten o’clock, and suddenly a cellphone ringtone sounded inside.
Lin Yingying put down her work and picked up the phone, “Hello, why aren’t you asleep at this time?”
The voice on the phone complained, “Big sis, it’s Sunday today, why didn’t you come to see me?”
Lin Yingying laughed, “You have so many classmates to keep you company, do you still need me to visit?
I’ve been busy with a case recently and haven’t even left work yet!”
The voice on the phone giggled, “Look at how pitiful the big CEO is.
If you had told me earlier, I would have gone to see you proactively today.”
Lin Yingying asked, “Are you out of money?
The voice on the phone exclaimed, “Big sis, can’t you see me in a new light?
Didn’t you want to hire a bodyguard these past few days?
I’ve already found one for you, absolutely awesome!”
Lin Yingying frowned, “How do you know I want to hire a bodyguard?”
She had had that incident in the bar a while back and felt the need to have someone protect her.
Consequently, she posted an announcement online saying she was looking to hire a bodyguard, with preference given to ex-military personnel.
At home, they wanted Zhou Zhenglong to be her bodyguard.
But she had grown up with Zhou Zhenglong and knew that he had feelings for her, which would make it awkward to be together.
Therefore, she wanted to find someone on her own.
She had not expected her sister to find out about it.
Over the phone, she warned, “Shanshan, I don’t want the family to know about the bodyguard thing, and don’t go talking about it when you’re home, okay?”
The voice on the phone chuckled, “Understood, does your sister have such a big mouth?
What I’m telling you is true.
That guy is seriously tough, and he even saved your sister once.
Most importantly, he seems not to be lecherous, absolutely safe!”
Lin Yingying was amused by her and asked curiously, “How do you know he’s not lecherous?”
The voice on the phone sighed, “With your sister’s appeal, I actively stuck to him, and he was indifferent.
Tell me, he’s either a eunuch or gay.
What other reason could there be?”
Lin Yingying teased, “Then, it’s your charm that’s lacking!”
The voice on the phone snorted, “Joking aside, there’s no man that Lin Shanshan can’t charm.
Do you want this bodyguard or not?
Give me a straight answer!”
Lin Yingying said helplessly, “I surrender, I want him.
Bring him to meet me someday, and if he’s suitable, I’ll hire him.”
The voice on the phone rejoiced, “Deal!
You know, as soon as you, the big CEO, say the word, I feel confident.
Oh right, how much are you planning to pay him per month?”
Lin Yingying laughed, “What, with your charm not having an effect, you plan to capture him with money?”
The voice on the phone exclaimed, “What do you mean?
No matter how charming, we still have to pay him, right?”
Lin Yingying said, “Your wish is my command, Miss Lin the Second.
I’ll offer him a hundred thousand per month, with a bonus at the end of the year, isn’t that generous enough?”
“OK, that’s settled then!”
The voice on the phone yelled excitedly, this amount of money was beyond her expectations.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yingying laughed and shook her head, continuing to work on her computer.
Being alone, going home was just boring.
In the office by herself, working overtime, she could look out at the night view and feel somewhat fulfilled.
Last week, she had stayed here for several days.
Especially after her sister started school, returning home felt like she was the only one in the whole world.
Lin Yingying took a sip of her coffee and suddenly became curious about the bodyguard Lin Shanshan had found for her.
She wondered what charm this man had that even her sister would take the initiative to recommend him.
To know that her sister had always been a high-and-mighty miss, who had never praised an outsider like this before.
In the security room downstairs, Bald Nie took a bite of the hotpot meat, pulled out his cellphone, and made a call to Ma Kui, telling him to act according to the plan.
Ma Kui was already prepared, taking five or six people in a van and stopping in front of a small park not far from Lin’s Group.
Bald Nie hung up the phone and found Brother Long’s number, his lips curling into a sinister smile as he dialed.
The phone beeped twice, and Long Fei, groggy, picked up, “Hello, who is this?”
Bald Nie called out from the other end, “Brother Long, what time is it now?
Didn’t you say you were going to treat Brother Nie to a meal?
Brother Nie has been waiting so long I’m starting to grow mold!”
Long Fei rolled out of bed, glanced at the phone number, and nearly forgot what he was supposed to do.
After drinking today, he fell asleep as if he had entered meditation.
Dizzy from alcohol, he had slept until now.
On the phone, he quickly said, “Brother Nie, I just took a nap, don’t be anxious, I’ll be right over!”
“You even have the mind to sleep?”
Bald Nie snorted coldly to himself but replied lightly with a laugh, “No hurry, I’ve got all night to wait for you!”
Long Fei replied, then hung up.
He slipped on some sweatpants, rinsed himself off under the cold water outside without drying, and went downstairs.
He Yan was outside, tidying up things, and seeing him come down, she curiously asked, “Where are you going so late?”
Long Fei gave a perfunctory smile and responded, “Chu Feng wants to drink, so I might come back late!”
He Yan advised, “Well, drink less then.
Riding a bike at night isn’t safe.”
Long Fei nodded with a smile, feeling as if it were like a wife instructing a husband before he left the house.
As he walked away, He Yan felt that her words were awkward, causing her cheeks to flush.
She was just a landlord; such words seemed out of place.
Remembering the misunderstanding in the morning, when she thought Long Fei had jumped from the building and had hugged him, He Yan’s heart couldn’t help but race.
The midnight breeze was cool against the skin.
Long Fei didn’t know where Bald Nie would make his move, so he deliberately rode his bike slowly.
Halfway there, sure enough, Bald Nie called, asking where he was.
Long Fei looked around and told him he was near the central park.
Bald Nie’s tone surprisingly had a hint of pleasure, telling him to ride slowly and not have any accidents on the way.
After hanging up, Long Fei immediately called Ma Kui, telling them to get ready.
When Long Fei arrived at the park entrance, a bald man with a big belly, leading a group of men, aggressively burst out from within.
In their hands, they carried implements: rope, iron rods, and some had machetes.
“So this is the ambush spot!”
Long Fei sneered and calmly parked his bike to the side.
The bald leader was indeed Ma Kui.
He raised a machete with his right hand, pointing at Long Fei and shouted, “Brother, you must be Long Fei, right?”
“Yes, that’s me!”
Long Fei replied with a light smile.
Ma Kui and his gang were taken aback, not expecting Long Fei to be so composed.
Normally, a person would be so scared that they would say anything but admit to their identity.
He looked at Long Fei coldly, saying, “That’s right, you’ve offended someone, and they’ve paid us to take care of you.
If you behave, we might let you off with less suffering.”
Three men from his group immediately moved behind him, blocking Long Fei’s retreat.
Long Fei asked, “Was it Nie Dayong who told you to do this?”
Ma Kui’s brows tightened, and he sneered, “That’s none of your concern!”
With a wave of his hand, someone holding a rope lunged for Long Fei’s neck from behind and yanked hard.
His action was swift and fast, it was clear he did this often.
Mere mortals simply couldn’t react in time.
