Beauty and the Bodyguard

An Eye for an Eye

Among the people present were An Jianwen and Su Taizao, along with the descendants of the five small noble houses! The four great houses weren’t based near the Jiangshan area, and couldn’t make it to the event. Though one young Sun, from one of the great houses’ Sun family did attend.

Wu Chentian was also in the Songshan area, but his grandfather Elder Wu had just left the hospital- so he had to attend to that first.

But even so, just these people were enough to give the ceremony substance!

An Jianwen, Su Taizao, and the people from the five small houses, along with the person from House Sun, had immense connections in society, and that resulted in them bringing over an ample amount of people. The great hall of the Qibing Hotel was bursting with energy.

Qibing stood on the stage and raised a high toast, very pleased with what he was seeing. These people represented the different powers not just in Songshan, but even the state- this meant that his career plans in Songshan would be nothing but successful.

"Thank you all for coming to the Qibing Real Estate Company’s Opening Cerremony! Let me offer you this toast- let us celebrate tonight!" Qibing said as he raised his cup higher, "Let’s all head to the Qibing Tower for the opening event after a toast!"

The guests raised their glasses as well and drank to Qibing’s toast when a loud sound gave everyone a fright- a loud rumbling followed and the ground began to shake.

Someone shouted, "The tower’s fallen, it’s collapsed!"

Qibing looked in the direction of the sound and looked out to see Qibing Tower crumbling and surrounded by many bulldozers and trenching machines. They continued their destructive path to the facilities around the tower, along with the parking lot and forest park- it was a chaotic mess.

It was only a moment’s instant before the skyscraper had been completely demolished.

Qibing’s eyes were wide open as if he’d seen a ghost- he snapped awake an instant later and realized that someone was tearing his tower down!

He didn’t care about the guests anymore. With a couple of quick steps, he charged out the hotel with the dutiful Uncle Zhu inches behind him.

Lin Yi was standing between the tower and the hotel, his cold eyes watching as the landscape became flat.

Since Qibing tore down Tang Yin’s house, it was only natural Lin Yi would tear down Qibing’s tower.

Fatty Lai had raised buildings for many years, but leveling a newly constructed skyscraper was a first. He felt a burst of excitement at the tower’s instant demise- only his boss could manage something like this.

"Who are you people? What do you think you’re doing?" Qibing’s eyes were flaring- who were these people, coming up and destroying his tower without a second word? It was only natural he’d be so angered.

"You’re Zhao Qibing?" Lin Yi looked at Qibing coldly.

"That’s right," Qibing took a deep breath and regained his composure. This person in front of him knew who he was, and that meant he knew the sort of background he had.

And despite that, here he was, tearing down his skyscraper. What did this mean?

He wanted to tear Lin Yi to pieces because of the humiliation he had caused him- this was an openng ceremony, and doing something like this during an opening ceremony was an especially insulting embarrassment!

"I’m Tang Yin’s boyfriend," Lin Yi nodded as he spoke faintly, "You tore her house down. Now you still owe me a pair of legs- also, I’ll have to disfigure your face."

"Tang Yin?" Qibing paused, realizing who the girl was upon hearing the key words. ’Tore her house down’ and ’disfigurement’ could only mean the pretty lady he had his eyes on this morning!

But he didn’t think Tang Yin would have a boyfriend like this- he was quite something. After all, not every person was capable of ammassing this many bulldozers and trenching machines in such a short preiod of time.

Lin Yi didn’t give the man the chance to talk. He started walking towards Qibing, "You’re not gonna survive the year."

"Uncle Zhu, kill him!" Qibing didn’t see Lin Yi as a threat- this man had cost him his reputation in front of all these important people, and nothing short of his death would give him relief. He wouldn’t be able to raise his head from now on if he couldn’t even do this much.

As for the consequences of murdering Lin Yi, Qibing had nothing to worry. Everyone present knew who he was, and they’d never do something like reporting him to the police. In the first place, the people here weren’t exactly good men, either. It was unlikely they would report him.

Lin Yi didn’t listen to Qibing as he continued walking towards him.

A swift palm came from Uncle Zhu, and an instant of intensity flashed through Lin Yi’s eyes as he received the palm with his own.

A thundering sound erupted, and Uncle Zhu staggered a few steps, blood splurted from his mouth as his breathing froze. He raised his eyes in disbelief as he stared at the man before him- this was a mystic class master! This man was a mystic class!!!

"Hm," Lin Yi continued walking towards Qibing.

Qibing was in equal disbelief- he understood just what sort of strength Uncle Zhu possessed- he was an early phase mystic! This was rare among the houses, and it was because his father spoiled him that he had assigned Uncle Zhu to him.

But a master like Uncle Zhu was coughing up blood after just one move from Lin Yi.

How was that possible? This young man couldn’t be older than twenty years old!

Uncle Zhu wanted to throw himself in front of Qibing, but the palm he had taken from Lin Yi had actually caused him internal damage- he hadn’t even recovered his breathing yet, and couldn’t even speak, let alone move!

Fear finally took over Qibing. As cocky as he was, he was no idiot- a person who could send Uncle Zhu staggering back was a monster he had to run away from, no matter how embarrasing it would be.

With that, he turned and started running.

Lin Yi was standing in front of him.

"Leave your legs," Lin Yi said calmly.

"I’m a son of House Zhao! You can’t do this!" Qibing threw his status out as a last defense, "My father is Zhao Guangyin."

"Who’s Zhao Guangyin? Don’t know him. Zhao Kuangyin’s brother?" His hand slapped against Qibing’s head, distorting his face and covering his whole face in blood, the wound was immediately hidden by the red.

A slap from Lin Yi wasn’t something to mess around with- Qibing fainted instantly after tumbling to the ground.

He was awake the next instant, however, as the crisp, piercing pain of the bones in his legs breaking woke him.

He fainted after hearing the cracking sound.

Lin Yi wanted to do something else when he felt his body get heavier- he took a deep breath to support his own weight.
