Beauty and the Bodyguard

Welcoming Ceremony

"Boss, this Zhao Qibing is a young master famous in our city- his family background is very mysterious, and I heard that’s because he has something to do with the hidden noble houses. Songshan’s Li Cihua, himself, is under him!" Fatty Lai explained quickly, worried that Lin Yi would rush into things. "They say he’s a bastard son, but there’s no proof."

"What’s a hidden noble house?" Lin Yi didn’t put much attention to what Fatty Lai said before.

"A hidden noble house is beyond even the four great noble houses and the five small noble houses. Nobody knows the names of these houses, except for House Yu, who people say is a part of the hidden houses. They say that House Yu might be a hidden house itself, except they’ve just put themselves in the open!" Fatty Lai said very seriously. "But the hidden noble houses are stronger than normal noble houses, so they rarely meddle with the world’s affairs."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded, "No need for all that, just tell me where Zhao Qibing is."

Fatty Lai paused and helplessly understood that Lin Yi had already steeled his heart on getting to Zhaobing.

"Zhao Qibing established the Qibing Real Estate Company in Songshan, and the Qibing Tower had just finished its construction. Zhao Qibing’s planning on hosting a welcoming ceremony in front of the tower, and he’s invited many big names. I, myself, have gotten an invitation too."

"Welcoming Ceremony?" Lin Yi chuckled coldly, "Fatty Lai, help me prepare some demolishers and trenching machines. We’re paying Master Bing a visit."

Lin Yi’s voice was assertive and completely confident, so Fatty Lai understood that it didn’t matter what sort of background Qibing had backing him up- there was no stopping his boss’ rage now.

Fatty Lai had also made up his mind that he’d join this charge as his boss’ follower- it was only natural after he’d pledged his life to following Lin Yi. It didn’t matter what hidden noble house Qibing was in.

"Yes, sir!" Fatty Lai was originally involved in the real estate industry in the first place, and naturally he had machinery like demolishers on standby. It was no trouble at all.

Lin Yi’s words came to Tang Yin as a shock,"Lin Yi, what are you going to do? Don’t get into truoble..."

"I’ll take a look at Uncle Tang first," Lin Yi didn’t respond to Tang Yin directly. He understood what she was thinking, but he’d already made his mind up. Of course he wouldn’t just let someone run free after what they’d done to Tang Yin.

Lin Yi’s deflection only made Tang Yin certain of his intentions. She worried that Lin Yi wasn’t a match for those people, especially after the whole hidden noble houses thing Fatty Lai just talked about! This was a figure more powerful than the four great houses and the four small houses, of course she’d be nervous. Now that she wasn’t disfigured anymore, she just wanted to spend time with Lin Yi in peace, she didn’t want him to get into trouble!

"Lin Yi..." As moved as she was, Tang Yin was more focused on Lin Yi’s safety. What would she do if anything were to happen to him?

"Ah..." Lin Yi smiled faintly, "He should’ve thought of what’d happen before he did this to you."

"D-Don’t kill anyone..." Tang Yin knew what Lin Yi was capable of, that he didn’t care about the consequences, acting as if he was constantly in rage- she didn’t want anything happening to Lin Yi, and she’d rather not have him stand up for her at all!

"Killling..." Lin Yi paused. He had actually already put Master Bing on his blacklist already, but Tang Yin’s words reminded him of something.

If this was the old him, Qibing was nothing but a small annoyance, something he could just get rid of on a whim.

He didn’t have to care about the consequences after carrying out the kill, but doing so in front of an audience and under broad daylight seemed rather difficult. Plus, there were a ton of laws that could easily turn a living man into a man scheduled to die- there was no reason for him to become fugitive just for Qibing.

"I won’t kill him today." Qibing had already been labelled as a dead man even before Lin Yi spoke those words- if he wasn’t going to die today, then he would, some day. But Lin Yi wouldn’t say anything about that to Tang Yin.

"Let’s go take a look at Uncle Tang first."

Tang Yin sighed in relief. She didn’t catch the subtlety in Lin Yi’s words, but at the very least, she knew he wouldn’t be killing Qibing today. But what sort of consequences would befall him after he’d punished the man?

Mrs, Tang went with Lin Yi to Jucheng’s room, who was rather taken aback by Lin Yi’s presence- he thought that Lin Yi had broken up with his daughter after all. He didn’t understand why Lin Yi was still treating him with respect like he used to.

But Mrs. Tang was there too, so Jucheng didn’t say much. He decided he’d ask in more detail afterwards.

Lin Yi checked Jucheng’s situation- he had only broken some bones which had already been reconnected. There wasn’t any large concerns, but he quickly wrote down a prescription for Mrs. Tang, "Use this and buy some herbs and ingredients, let him take it every morning and night for a month and he’ll be fine. His damaged nerves is still a problem for now though, I’ll need to go back to my hometown for the medicine."

"Alright, understood!" Mrs. Tang carefully received the recipe, full of gratitude. She’d witnessed first-hand how he had erased her daughter’s pain, so her trust in Lin Yi right now was infinite!

If Lin Yi said it would be fine, then it would definitely be fine.

After saying his goodbyes, Lin Yi left the hospital while his face grew darker by the second. Lin Yi dind’t know what these hidden noble houses were, but he never recalled being scared of anyone before, no matter what house they came from. He decided to deal with Qibing first, before anything else.

"Boss, the machines are ready, and I’ve contacted the demolition team too," Fatty Lai had a good idea what Lin Yi was up to.

Lin Yi nodded, "When does the ceremony begin?"

"Tonight at six," Fatty Lai replied.

"Oh, it’s started already. Let’s go then," Lin Yi said, after looking at the time on his phone.

Fatty Lai got on Lin Yi’s run-down van instead of his own car- taking on the role of a navigator.

As for the demolition team and the machines, he had already called them be on standby near the tower.

The unpleasantness from this morning was pushed to the back of Qibing’s mind. He felt that it was a pity for such a heavenly girl to lose her beauty like that, but something like that wouldn’t result in him merely losing his interest!

As far as he was concerned, the barbarians in the slums were no different than ants. He could get rid of them without any trouble, but he had something more important to attend to- today was the Qibing Real Estate Company’s big day!

Qibing’s identity may be mysterious, but all the powerful people in Songshan understood that this man had a very powerful house backing him up, especially when a man like Li Cihua was acting as his follower. Many of the participants of this ceremony all came to pay their respects.
