Beauty and the Bodyguard

Blood-Curdling Screech From The Mansion

Chu Mengyao was extremely distracted during dinner, and she didn’t even hear her father calling her.

“Huh?” Chu Mengyao stared blankly at him, “Daddy, did you just call me?”

“Yaoyao, what are you thinking? I wanted you to give Lin Yi a toast. If it wasn’t for him yesterday, I don’t know if I could still see you today…” Chu Pengzhan grinned.

“Ah… Ok…” Chu Mengyao raised her glass unconsciously and realized that the glass was empty.

Chen Yushu quickly filled it for her before she raised the glass again. She glanced at Lin Yi and felt shy upon recalling what happened yesterday. She lowered her eyes and said, “Thank you.”

“You thanked me a few times already,” Lin Yi was stunned as he rarely saw her shy side. But she seemed prettier that way? Perhaps if she wasn’t his employer, he might even pursue her?

“Mhm…” Chu Mengyao replied softly and drank all the juice inside her glass, “I finished it.”

Lin Yi also finished it all. It looked like she wasn’t used to social niceties. Chu Pengzhan rarely brought her along to banquets of noble houses. It was probably why she wasn’t tainted with unhealthy habits.

Miss was a simple and honest person. Although she seemed cold to strangers, she cared for him after becoming more familiar with him. Although she never verbally expressed it, Lin Yi could feel it.

Chu Pengzhan never intentioned to educate Chu Mengyao into a strong and independent business woman, and it was confusing to Lin Yi. Was he not planning to let her take over the company in the future? Or, perhaps he is adopting the more trendy method overseas, letting Chu Mengyao hold the shares of the company but not letting her participate in the operation of the company. 

Of course, it wasn’t a problem for Lin Yi to worry about. As for his shares in the company, he never really treated it with care! He didn’t even care about the operation of his medical company, why would he care about Pengzhan Industry?

They had dinner harmoniously. It has been a while since Chu Pengzhan ate with Chu Mengyao, Chen Yushu, and Lin Yi together. Especially after his daughter and the company’s trouble were solved, he was even more delighted.

After dinner, Chu Pengzhan had to return to the office and got off outside the company. The follow-up effects of the poisoning event hadn’t completely died down yet and he had to be at the company in person to help the police and legal department gather evidence.

Like when Lin Yi came, he drove his old van back to the mansion while Uncle Fu drove Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu back in a Bentley. Lin Yi didn’t want to bother Uncle Fu since he could drive both of them back, but Miss declined the offer, “Didn’t I tell you to drive the SS before?”

LIn Yi smiled bitterly. Perhaps he didn’t even have to consider buying a new car after this one anymore.

When these two cars stopped in front of mansion one after another, ferocious barking burst from the inside of the mansion. It was General Weiwu!

Lin Yi became tense subconsciously and touched the jade pendant resting on his chest. The pendant sent a signal, and Lin Yi entered combat mode.

General Weiwu never barked for no reason, especially when it was Chu Mengyao and him outside. If it was a stranger, perhaps it might bark. But right now, they were all people it knew well!

General Weiwu was extremely familiar with Lin Yi, Chu Mengyao, Chen Yushu, and even Uncle Fu.

Hence, something must have happened. General Weiwu’s unusual barking must indicate something! Even the jade pendant resting on Lin Yi’s chest sent him a signal similar to a warning.

At this time, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu also got off the car and they were shocked at the barks.

“Don’t go in yet, it’s dangerous,” Lin Yi shook his head at the two.

Uncle Fu also jumped down. Since he was of the gold division, he also sensed that something was not right.

Before Chu Mengyao could ask any questions, a blood-curdling screech came from inside the mansion. It was General Weiwu and it was dead silence after.

“General Weiwu!” Chu Mengyao was shocked and her heart skipped a beat. She opened the door and wanted to dash inside.

General Weiwu grew up together with Chu Mengyao and accompanied her through childhood up until now, creating a deep bond between them. Before Lin Yi came to the mansion, Chu Mengyao’s only friend other than Chen Yushu was General Weiwu.

Chu Mengyao was extremely worried at General Weiwu’s yelp. The only thought in her mind was to see whether General Weiwu was safe or not!

General Weiwu’s screech changed Lin Yi’s plan. He planned to infiltrate the mansion to check for danger, but the situation was now clearly different.

Chu Mengyao dashed in and so did Chen Yushu. Although her relationship with General Weiwu wasn’t as profound as Chu Mengyao, she cared nonetheless. Not to mention that it saved their lives before!

When they were at Mountain Shuangyan, how could Lin Yi find them so soon if it wasn’t for General Weiwu?

As the two sprinted inside, Lin Yi and Uncle Fu didn’t fall behind.

Chu Mengyao turned the hall’s chandelier on and saw that General Weiwu curled up together on the ground with blood all around its mouth, uncertain whether it was still dead or alive. Not far from General Weiwu, there stood a man in black!

After Yu Kun left Lai Changyi’s company, he infiltrated Lai Changyi’s mansion by the water. He didn’t believe what Lai Changyi said and he must search for the piece of map himself.

However, he got nothing out of Fatty Lai’s residence. He was confident in his searching ability. He even found the key to the safe beneath the floor yet there was no sign of the map. Yu Kun was certain that it was not hidden in Lai Changyi’s residence.

However, Yu Kun didn’t give up. According to his previous research, it told him that another two people attended the auction with Lai Changyi. One was Lin Yi, the other was Guan Xueming!

Lin Yi was the young man he met in front of the chemist. Without knowing why Yu Kun thought that Lin Yi was more problematic than Fatty Lai and Guan Xueming. It was also because of Lin Yi that his plan to follow them in secret failed!

Although Lin Yi was the youngest out of them, Yu Kun thought that he wasn’t simple as he attended the auction with the other two. Hence, he began to collect Lin Yi’s background information after he arrived at Songshan.
