Beauty and the Bodyguard

Swear by the Wheelchair

A trace of humiliation flashed across Qibin’s eyes. He gritted his teeth. “Cihua, you do it!”

With that, he pulled his shirt up and bit into it before sitting in the wheelchair behind him.

“But…” Cihua didn’t dare do the deed!

“Hurry up, I don’t have time. If you don’t do it then I’ll have to, but my kick would shatter his bones!” Lin Yi said impatiently.

“Cihua, do it! This is an order!” Qibin said as he commanded.

Cihua had no choice. He gritted his teeth and smashed the bat at Qibin’s left leg, landing with a crack followed by Qibin’s howl. His left leg was broken.

He mustered his courage and swung it again, at the right leg. With a crack. The right leg was broken as well.

Qibin almost fell and rolled on the ground from the intense pain.

“Remember to transfer the money. And also, one leg was enough, why’d you break two?” Lin Yi shrugged before leaving the Floating Cloud Bar.

“Wha…” Cihua froze, his heart burning with hatred for Lin Yi. Why didn’t he say so earlier? He didn’t even break the two together, he did them separately, but he just had to wait until it was done! He did it on purpose! What if Master Bin placed the blame on him…

“Lin Yi, I swear by this wheelchair—If I don’t kill you, I’ll change my family name!” Qibin swore furiously as he held on from the pain after Lin Yi had left. “Remember this, I swear by my name!”

“Master Bin, I’m sorry, I…” Cihua quickly started to apologize for what he did to Qibin’s legs.

“It’s not your fault!” Qibin waved his hand before his eyes rolled back, and he passed out…

Lin Yi didn’t return to Mengyao’s villa right away after leaving the bar but called Tang Yun. He had to explain to her what happened, which might disappoint her, but he had no choice. At the same time, he didn’t want to leave Miss and Shu, too.

They hadn’t spent too long together, but they saw each other every day. Lin Yi really did like them.

“Hello, Lin Yi? Are you on the train?” Tang Yin knew that Lin Yi had to leave eventually and was afraid that someone would see her when she sent him off, so might as well let Lin Yi leave secretly in case there were enemies.

“No, I’m in Songshan.” Lin Yi said.

“You didn’t leave?” Tang Yin paused. “What happened? Is something wrong?”

“Where are you? Let’s meet and talk.” Lin Yi said with a small exhale.

“I’m at school, it’s lunch right now.” Tang Yin said.

“Then I’ll go to school now.” Lin Yi turned his car and headed to the school.

Pinliang and Xiaofu were coming out of a restaurant in front of the school. The school did hide his crimes a little, but even so, they didn’t dare go to the cafeteria anymore. The cook might know some insider information, and things would go south if he were to let that slip.

So they always went to the restaurants near the school every day, since he could afford it, too.

“Hm? Liang Bro, isn’t that Lin Yi?” Xiaofu cried out, pointing into the distance.

“Lin Yi?” Pinliang froze as he looked up at where he was pointing. There was a yellow beetle car coming!

“How is he coming to school? House Yu and House Xiao and even Zhao Qibin are trying to get him, he’s still showing up here?” Xiaofu asked, confused.

“Yeah, why’s he here? Shouldn’t he be hiding instead of coming out in public?” Pinliang frowned.

“Liang Bro, should we go cause him some trouble?” Xiaofu suggested happily.

“For what? Are you stupid? There has to be some problem if he dared come to school at a time like this!” Pinliang was no longer the idiot who stumbled about, he’d suffered big gains and big losses, and had evolved into a high intelligence Pinliang!” Let me ask my dad first!”

“Alright!” Xiaofu nodded.

Pinliang rang his father Zhong Fabai, and he picked up. “Hello? Pinliang, what’s wrong?”

“Dad, I need some information. House Xiao, House Yu, and Master Bin, did they go cause Chu Pengzhan trouble yet?” Pinliang asked. “I’m seeing Lin Yi at school…”

“Pinliang! Don’t you go piss Lin Yi off, you hear? Don’t you piss him off, stay away from him!” Fabai went white at the words his son was saying.

“What happened” Pinliang froze.

“You don’t know this, but two people got killed by Lin Yi, from House Yu and House Xiao respectively! Lin Yi had just come back from Master Bin’s too, not only injuring Yao Wang and breaking Master Bin’s legs! He even asked Master Bin for a hundred and fifty million!” Fabai said quickly.

“My God, really??” Pinliang’s face paled. “Lin Yi killed even people from House Yu and House Xiao?”

“House Xiao and House Yu? Even Master Bin’s paying LIn Yi money as if Lin Yi hadn’t just broken his legs!” Fabai smiled bitterly. “This Lin Yi, putting on a sheepskin… He didn’t lose his strength at all, and today he showed his dominance…”

“This Lin Yi, why’s he such an asshole?” Pinliang was simply too relieved that his smarts prevented him from doing anything to Lin Yi—otherwise who knew what awaited!

“Alright, I’m still busy. Goodbye!” Fabai said. “Remember, just don’t piss Lin Yi off!”

‘I understand!” Pinliang nodded before hanging up and telling Xiaofu what his father told him. “See? I told you we can’t go piss him off, now you know my wisdom, right?”

“Yeah! You’re smart, Liang Bro!” Xiaofu was breaking into a cold sweat as well. He was just moments away from pissing Lin Yi off, too! “Liang Bro, your IQ is rising through the roof! You’re not the old Zhong Pinliang anymore!”

“That’s right, I told you! If you wanna be a bad guy, you need some brains!” Pinliang nodded gleefully. “Lin Yi is the type with intelligence, too, but with that intelligence, he can only fool House Xiao, House Yu, and Master Bin- Zhong Pinliang? I’m a different level!”

“That’s true, if it weren’t for Lin Yi’s immense strength, he wouldn’t be your opponent at all!” Xiaofu nodded. “By the time Naipao comes back, you two will be the brains and brawn—Lin Yi wouldn’t count for shit then!”
