Chapter 309 - How Did You Get In

Lin Yi thought that it was a very feasible possibility- Li Fu might very well be a physical master if he really were Pengzhan’s bodyguard. Like Chentian, there wasn’t any pure qi inside him because he trained in the physical arts, and the non-existence of that pure qi meant that Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to ascertain his power level with sensing alone.

As a result, Li Fu became a bit of an enigma in Lin Yi’s eyes. He’d been Pengzhan’s companion for so many years now- the man had to certainly be on a level far superior to Wu Chentian’s. Just how strong was he?

He was in charge of getting Yushu and Mengyao to school and drove them home as well- he was responsible for their safeties in addition to Pengzhan’s. It was logical to think that he’d be good! He had wondered why no one had plotted anything against Mengyao before Lin Yi came, but it seemed that Li Fu was precisely the reason for their maintained well-being.

As if feeling Lin Yi’s gaze on his back, Li Fu spoke up after some silence. “You’re right- I’m Mister Chu’s bodyguard! Mister Xie himself has a master guarding him as well, and he’s not weaker than I am. Although, I’m currently a physical master, and he’s a spiritual one.”

“Currently?” Lin Yi asked, intrigued. What did that mean? Had Li Fu trained in the spiritual arts before? Why couldn’t he sense anything from him, then?

“I’ll be careful.” Lin Yi didn’t really mind. He was a master himself, after all……

With that, he got out the car, preparing to get in his van and get to the root of the problem- Xie Guangbo.

“Wait, Yi- your car, they won’t be able to trace anything, would they?” Pengzhan eyed Lin Yi’s old van and its licence plate.

“Ah…… Uncle Chu, what do you think I’m planning?” Lin Yi asked as he opened the car. “I’m just going to him to talk with him, it’s fine.”

“I see……” Pengzhan nodded. “Why don’t you use Yao Yao’s car? His area’s filled with rich people, so the van might be stopped at the security gates.”

“Okay, I’ll use Shu’s Beetle then. I have the keys here.” Lin YI nodded before making his way to the garage.

Chinalead Sh.o.r.e was one of the most luxurious of districts within Songshan- it was the symbol of wealth itself!

All of them were stand-alone villas in the Duplex pattern, with each unit worth at least ten million, going as far as even thirty million! One had to be extraordinarily rich to be living in a place like this.

While not all rich person would choose to live here, everyone inhabiting the houses in this district was without a doubt rich. Pengzhan didn’t have a house here because the house he lived in was even more luxurious than the houses here!

Guangbo was the third largest shareholder in Pengzhan Industries, a company in the top five hundred within the country. It was no surprise that he’d have a villa in an area like this, especially when it was a Pengzhan Industries project.

The security was extremely strict, as expected- all incoming cars were stopped at the gates, with only the more prestigious cars or the ones with an pa.s.s gaining immediate entry. 

Lin Yi’s Beetle wasn’t too expensive, but any home well-off enough to afford a car like this usually didn’t have the Beetle as their first and only car.

Lin Yi drove through the gate without trouble. He didn’t ask for any directions, but rather looked for area F himself- the land of stand-alone villas stood out in the district.

Lin Yi parked his car in front of the sixth villa, and walked up to the door. He didn’t ring the doorbell, but stepped on the transformer at the side of the house, throwing himself onto the second floor’s balcony.

Xie Guangbo may be residing in a luxurious home, but he was never one for grandiosity. He lived here because of his status as shareholder- he might lose face should his house not live up to expectations, and that would affect how business partners perceived him as well.

He never remarried after his wife died- he was never one for materialistic things, and neither was he too invested in women. He never brought home random girls, and his biggest wish was that his son could take on his mantle.

Yet the son he’d sent overseas for education turned out to be an addict to drugs and gambling…

Gambling on its own was fine- after all, smaller gambles were a good way of bonding with friends. Drugs, on the other hand, was a bottomless pit that would consume even the largest of fortunes……

His son’s hundred million debt to the mafia enraged him, but he was the only son he had. He could never abandon him.

He’d just gotten off a call with his son- the pain in his heart when he saw his bruised face made him want to charge into the fray and save his son from the chaos!

“Xie Guangbo?” A voice sounded in front of him- he raised his head subconsciously to see someone standing in front of him!!

“W-Who are you?” Guangbo asked, shocked and in disbelief. Where did this person come from??

He was shocked not because Lin Yi had entered his room so silently- it was because Lin Yi was in his room at all! He’d locked his bedroom with the key still in his hand so as to prevent his bodyguard and nanny from hearing anything, so how was this man standing in front of him?

How’d he even get in the house? His nanny and bodyguard occupied the lower floor... Lin Yi must’ve alerted them to his presence!

His nanny would first notify him if this man were a visitor.

And his bodyguard would stop him if he were an invader.

But here he was, standing right in front of him, in his room, without him noticing.

This man came in with hostility. That was Guangbo’s first impression of the man. His experience in this world prompted him to regain his composure. “How did you get in?”

Chapter 310 - Bodyguard Making His Appearance

Lin Yi pointed at the window casually without answering the question. “Wanna ask you something- why are you supporting Jin Gubang at the board?”

Guangbo paused, understanding where Lin Yi was coming from. His face grew solemn. “Chu Pengzhan sent you? Hmph. You can leave now- tell him this isn’t negotiable!”

“You’ve taken too many r.e.t.a.r.d pills- you think he’s able to just send me? I’m helping him on my own accord!” Lin Yi’s lips twitched- did this guy think he was some small-fry messenger? Was he out of his mind? Pengzhan treated him nicely, but he came to Songshan because his old man told him too- there wasn’t anyone else who could ‘send’ him on errands other than Old Lin and his a.s.sa.s.sin s.h.i.+fu.

“Then what are you here for……” Guangbo asked, surprised. This man didn’t look like Pegnzhan’s underling, but why was he here?

Lin Yi frowned. “I’m Chu Mengyao’s bodyguard!”

“Ah?” Guangbo didn’t know what to say. Why was Chu Mengyao’s bodyguard b.u.t.ting into this business? “You’re Chu Mengyao’s bodyguard, so why are you here instead of protecting her?”

“You really are r.e.t.a.r.ded.” Lin Yi glared. “Chu Pengzhan’s her father, who’s gonna pay me if he loses his job?”

Lin Yi was saying that so as to draw a line between Pengzhan and him- Pengzhan would be able to shrug all responsibility off should this get exposed to the other shareholders. Threatening a shareholder would not look good for Pengzhan at the board, after all.

Guangbo was speechless- just who was the r.e.t.a.r.d here? Why was a bodyguard meddling with company affairs? A sudden thought came to his mind. “You’re here for money, right? Say it, how much do you want?”

One couldn’t blame Guangbo’s mentality here- Lin Yi was only a mere bodyguard officially, after all.

“I say, will you stop with your bulls.h.i.+t? Do you wanna die?” Lin Yi put his foot on the safe to the side, sending the few hundred kilo safe flying and landing with a thump right in front of Guangbo, one single centimeter away from his feet.

Guangbo’s forehead started getting wet with sweat- was this even a human? Why was a man this powerful a bodyguard? He just sent a safe a couple hundred kilos heavy flying! 

He looked at the safe, and froze upon seeing the large crater Lin Yi had created with his kick- a safe like this was reinforced with heavy iron, and damage like this shouldn’t be possible at all! Even burglars would have a hard time with electric saws, let alone this dude just kicking it with his leg!

Of course, all that was secondary to the fact that Guangbo would no longer be breathing if the safe had flown a bit father.

“I hope you’ll stay away from Jin Gubang, understand?? Lin Yi didn’t bother asking why he was helping Gubang. If he wanted to live then he would have to stop supporting Gubang.

“......” Guangbo’s face was pale white, but he didn’t say anything, unable to answer him. What would happen to his son if he stayed away from Gubang? He lowered his head, scared but optionless. “Tell me, how much money for you to let me go?”

“Money? You have a lot of money?” Lin Yi walked over disdainfully, and Guangbo shrunk away subconsciously.

Lin Yi wasn’t about to do anything to him- he stopped at the broken safe, and pulled the safe door open entirely.

“Is there money in here?” Lin Yi rummaged around the contents of the safe, and found a bank book. Much to his disappointment, the forty million written on it had been withdrawn a couple days ago. “What money are you gonna give me when you only have a few kuai in your bank?”

“I……” Guangbo remembered that he’d sent all his money to his son a couple days ago- he no longer had anything to give Lin Yi.

“Hm, looks like you were quite rushed when you withdrew all that. Is this why you’re helping Jin Gubang?” Lin Yi tossed aside the bankbook and continued rummaging. He pulled out stack of doc.u.ments, a smile on his face. “Pengzhan Industries shares? Nice, you can transfer all that to me now!”

“No!” Guangbo stood up straight, a decisive look on his face. “Absolutely not!”

“Hoh? Is that so.” Lin Yi tossed the doc.u.ments aside. “You want your life or do you want your shares?”

The door was kicked down all of a sudden. A man barged in. “Mister Xie, are you alright?”

He noticed Lin Yi right after finis.h.i.+ng his words, and tensed up instantly- he’d heard a large noise in Guangbo’s room, and recognized that something was wrong.

The man was thirty years old, with a common face that would get lost in a crowd. A perfect face for a bodyguard.

Guangbo let out a breath of relief, a relaxed look forming on his face. The bodyguard was strong, He understood that well- even Lin Yi’s strength wouldn’t be able to stand up to his.

“Huang, kill him!” Guangbo ordered. A direct threat to his life couldn’t be allowed to exist.

His bodyguard was here for him this time around, but he couldn’t be by his side all the time, especially when Lin Yi was capable of sneaking into his room without a sound. He’d most likely come again if he could, and Guangbo found that very terrifying.

“Who are you?!” The man asked as he sent a fist in Lin Yi’s direction.

“Ah……” Lin Yi smiled faintly and made a fist of his own, putting it in front of him as if welcoming to attack.

The man wasn’t expecting Lin Yi to take his punch head on- he added more power to the punch in his disbelief, intent on removing Lin Yi with one go!

Intruding on private property and even threatening his boss- this was justifiable enough for his death on the scene. He wouldn’t be held responsible, anyway, since it was Xie Guangbo’s orders as his boss.
