Beauty and the Bodyguard

Li Cihua's Probe

"Yes, Master Bing. I'll get some information about Lin Yi from Chu Pengzhan later," Cihua said with panic.

"Faster! If Chu Pengzhan doesn't cooperate, be violent with him. I've to get Lin Yi's information as soon as possible, I cannot wait to tear him into pieces any longer!" Qibing rushed.

"Rest assured, Master Bing, I know what to do!" Cihua wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he nodded.

"One more thing, is my Qibing skyscraper still there?" When Qibing remembered that his building was levelled by Lin Yi- he felt the humiliation rushing back to him again! The building that had just been completed was completely sabotaged, making him lose so much face? He had lost his reputation and pride in front of the young masters of Songshan and even his relocation project on the slums was delayed and was completely ruined!

They didn't even have an office now, relocating the slums would be like seeing a pie in the sky!

Although, they could start demolishing the slums already at this point, they didn't even have workers to rebuild the slums, so what was the point of relocating it?

"The Qibing building was completely flattened, the possibility of restoration is 0%...." Cihua said with hatred- this building had been funded by him and Gubang after all and it was totally levelled on the day of completion. It was a massive loss!

"Flattened? Why don't you start building a new one right now? I really mean now, at once, immediately, get me another newly-constructed building! I want to see that building before I get out of this room fully recovered!" Qibing was impatient- losing a new building was such a shame!

"Ugh… Master Bing, it's impossible to build a new building in such a short time…. Are you perhaps joking with me, it takes time for a building to be rebuilt…" Cihua was in a difficult position.

"That's why I'm giving you time, I'll be hospitalized for ten to twenty days. By the time I get my ass out of this hospital in a wheelchair, you must get me a tower before that!" Qibing demanded.

"Master bing, ten to twenty days is simply insufficient….. Aren't… you…. giving me a hard time…." Cihua smiled bitterly.

"Ten to twenty days are more than enough, I watched a video on the internet, their building was built within a few days! If they were able to do, why can't you? Are you doing this for a show?" Qibing glared and shouted.

"Ugh…. I'll try then…." Cihua could only bite the bullet- he planned to search for the video and hire the group of constructors who made the impossible come true.

"Move!" Qibing wave his hand impatiently.

Cihua walked out of the floating cloud bar, depressed- he was no longer the man in charge of the bar anymore, there were a few people who were superior to him now. Master bing was his boss' son, so naturally, he would have more authority than him! But he didn't dare to cross Uncle Zhu and Yaowang either- he was like a errand boy in front of them.

"Cihua bro, how are you?" Su Jiaonang saw the gloomy face of Cihua.

"Don't mention about it, let's go, follow me to Pengzhan industries!" Cihua decided to settle Lin Yi's situation first since the whole process was a lot more simple than building a tower in twenty days. Even if he was unable to complete the building on time, at the very least, he could go back to Master Bing with Lin Yi's background.

"Coming!" Jiaonang stopped asking and followed Cihua off to Pengzhan industries.

Pengzhan was surprised to see Cihua but he was still calm. After all, he already knew that Lin Yi had crossed Master Bing from yesterday's little talk, and and Cihua was Qibing's follower, so his visit wasn't out of the blue.

"Boss Li, may I ask for the purpose of this visit?" Pengzhan hadn't bothered being polite since they weren't business partners and Li Cihua was also the man who tried to invade his company with Jin Gubang. He didn't find the need to please him in the slightest.

"Chairman Chu, I don't think there's a need for me to introduce myself again. Even though we weren't on good terms, that no longer matters anymore," Cihua said faintly, "Let's just forget about the past for now. After Jin Gubang's failure, I don't see any point in touching your industry right now."

"Owh? Then why did you come all the way here?" Pengzhan didn't find anything odd with Cihua's confession- even if he didn't admit it, everyone was well-aware of the things he did behind his back.

"I'm just going to be very straightforward with you- I heard that Mr. Chu, you recently hired a bodyguard and his name was Lin Yi, if I'm not mistaken?" Cihua wanted to get this done as fast as possible so he cut the bullshit and tried to establish a dominant stance.

As far as Cihua was concerned, although he might not be Lin Yi's opponent, he believed that he was still a pretty powerful person in SongShan city. A legal business man like Chu Pengzhan was of course no match to him.

"You are right, so what?" Pengzhan frowned- Cihua really came here for Lin Yi.

"Haha, I have something to ask a favour from you, Mr. Chu. I believe you have heard of my master, Master Bing right? He was injured pretty badly recently," Cihua asked faintly.

"What do you want?" Pengzhan asked.

"Y'know, Master Bing doesn't have a bodyguard right now. I've been thinking about using Lin Yi, could you perhaps give him to us?" Cihua wanted to test Pengzhan's reaction- he wanted to know if Lin Yi was injured, and if he still had his cultivation.

"Owh, my apologies. Mr. Lin Yi and I are bonded by contracts," Pengzhan replied casually.

"Is that so….." Cihua was cursing Pengzhan inside- just who was this old fox? He expected Pengzhan to say that Lin Yi wasn't suitable for the job because of his injury, or that he had lost all his power and what not.

However, Pengzhan only said that they were bonded by contracts. What did this mean?! Did Lin Yi still have his cultivation, was that why Pengzhan wasn't willing to give him out or was it because of the contract? Even if the bodyguard was injured, he wasn't allowed to kick him out?

Pengzhan also said it so casually, without any tone at all- this made Cihua puzzled, he couldn't understand Pengzhan's real intention at all!

"If that's the case, I shall take my leave then," Cihua gritted his teeth, his heart filled with hatred, "By the way, can I know where Lin Yi came from? Was he from a bodyguard company or does he have a team with him? Why don't you introduce them to me, I'm actually looking for a bodyguard."
