Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 174: Chapter 173 I Laugh at You for Being Silly and Naive

Feeling Lu Tianxing’s unrestrained gaze, Shen Manjun’s face briefly flashed with irritation before she stood up abruptly and said with a cold laugh, ”Mr. Lu, whatever your reasons, I warn you not to overstep your bounds. Otherwise, I have countless ways to make your life worse than death. You’d better consider the consequences. I’ve investigated your background; you’re just an ordinary person. Fifty million is enough for you to live lavishly for a lifetime. Take it and leave if you know what’s good for you, otherwise don’t blame me for not being polite.”

”Not polite? What kind of impoliteness are you talking about? Do you plan to smother me with your treasures, or perhaps to drain me dry?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Shen Manjun, ignoring her threats, and said with a lecherous expression, ”Miss Shen, just be honest with me, have you fallen for me? Why else would you investigate me? And today, you dressed so temptingly—isn’t it to catch my eye? I admit I’m handsome, but this kind of hinting makes me uncomfortable. After all, I’m a married man. It’s quite embarrassing for me. At least give me some time to consider.”

”You...”

Anger flickered across Shen Manjun’s face as she took a deep breath and said sharply, ”Mr. Lu, please behave yourself. Let’s come straight to the point today. Mr. Lu, are you aware that your identity is highly suspicious?”

”Suspicious?”

Lu Tianxing was taken aback, ”What’s there to suspect about my identity? Miss Shen, since you’ve investigated me, then the information should explain everything! What’s there to doubt? If you’re suggesting that I’m using Qiaoqiao to get close to you, to flirt with you, I apologize. I should have been more discreet.”

”Mr. Lu, arguing your point has no use. Let’s not beat around the bush. Sometimes, things that are out in the open cannot be trusted, and I think you understand that better than I do. Who exactly are you?”

Shen Manjun’s gaze was sharp, her tone full of aggression, and her intuition told her that Lu Tianxing was no ordinary man; few dared to tease her like this.

”Really? Then who do you think I am?” Lu Tianxing countered.

Shen Manjun said indifferently, ”Before I answer that question, I would like you to answer one for me. My daughter always has female bodyguards with her, so why, on the day she met you, were there none by her side? They were all shaken off, and then she was attacked by an assassin after meeting you, yet you happened to save her. Mr. Lu, can you explain to me how such coincidences are possible?”

The implication of her words was clear, suggesting that everything was related to Lu Tianxing, perhaps even orchestrated by him in order to get close to Qiaoqiao for some unspeakable secret motive.

Lu Tianxing shrugged and said indifferently, ”What’s there to explain when I wasn’t the one who did it? You should be asking that assassin instead, not me.”

”Hmph, I would love to, unfortunately, that assassin was silenced after he left.”

Shen Manjun’s lips curled slightly, her bewitching eyes exuding a cold aura as she stared at Lu Tianxing, ”Mr. Lu, it seems to me that you’re not unwilling to explain, but rather unable to explain. Am I right?”

”Hahaha!”

Lu Tianxing stared blankly at Shen Manjun and suddenly burst into laughter.

Shen Manjun was startled, ”What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”

”I’m laughing at how naive and silly you are, how broadly you think,” he laughed, unconcerned by Shen Manjun’s angry gaze. ”Why should I explain myself to you? Whether you suspect or believe me, it’s all the same to me. And don’t forget, you went to great lengths to ask me to come today, not the other way around. I’m sure you’re more aware of that than I am. So why should I explain myself to you, and why should I need you to believe me? I am clear in my conscience.”

Having said that, Lu Tianxing turned and walked toward the door, ”Well, Miss Shen, let’s end our discussion here. Keep the fifty million; it burns my hands to hold it! Next time you want a talk, please choose a different venue. I prefer Fenglin Hotel. They have Lang Ya spurs and fruit-flavored condoms, plus various toys; we can talk all night. Farewell, no need to see me out.”

”Go to hell...”

Shen Manjun was furious, her beautiful face turned livid, looking extremely unattractive. No one had ever dared to tease her like this. Lu Tianxing was the first, and although she had the intention to keep him, she ultimately had to give up on that idea.

”Madam.”

As Lu Tianxing left, the elder who had accompanied him here earlier appeared like a specter and said to Shen Manjun, ”Madam, why didn’t you keep him?”

”No need.”

Shen Manjun shook her head, ”He probably isn’t associated with those people. Maybe it’s all just coincidence. By the way, Uncle Shou, what do you think about Lu Tianxing?”

Uncle Shou, originally named Chen Shou, a Heavenly Level Expert soon breaking through to Heavenly Peak, had been saved by the former head of the Shen Family years ago and willingly stayed at the Shen Family as a butler, proving to be a loyal servant.

”He’s very dangerous,” Uncle Shou thought for a moment and said gravely, ”I didn’t sense any martial artist’s aura on him, but he feels to me like a sleeping lion. Once awakened, he will be terrifyingly powerful. Even if I were to fight him to the death, I might be the one to die, not him.”

”What? Uncle Shou, today isn’t April Fool’s, are you sure you’re not joking?” Shen Manjun’s body trembled, her face incredulous as she exclaimed, ”Uncle Shou, are you playing with me? You’re a Heavenly Level Martial Artist, considered a world-ranking expert. He’s just a twenty-something-year-old. Even if he trained from the womb, he couldn’t be that formidable!”

Uncle Shou sighed, ”Madam, some things cannot be measured by age. The path of cultivation does not correlate directly with age.”

”I understand, Uncle Shou, please leave me. I want some time alone.”

Shen Manjun rubbed her temples and waved for Uncle Shou to leave, sitting alone in her chair, her beautiful eyes flickering, lost in thought.

P.S. Today I continue visiting relatives, not sure when I’ll be able to return home. Three Chapters at minimum, aiming for four, but might still be three. I hope everyone keeps supporting, seeking monthly passes, donations, recommendation votes, and support!!
