Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 197: Chapter 196: Killing Three Birds with One Arrow

As Lu Tianxing drew closer, Zhao Lin felt fear surge like a tidal wave, because the look in Lu Tianxing’s eyes was as if he was staring at a dead man. Zhao Lin had no doubt that Lu Tianxing dared not break his limbs.

”Lu Tianxing, I know you’re strong, but... but let me remind you, you’d better not mess around. This is Xiangjiang, not Modu. I belong to the Zhao Family. If you dare do anything to me, the Zhao Family won’t let you go! You won’t leave Xiangjiang alive; you’d really better think about the consequences of touching me.”

Zhao Lin kept backing away, suppressing the fear in his heart as he threatened Lu Tianxing.

Upon hearing Zhao Lin’s words, a cold smirk appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face.

Consequences!

Would a Judge fear consequences?

No!

There were many who wanted him dead; the Zhao Family was as insignificant as ants in comparison.

”Slap!”

Lu Tianxing, tired of wasting words, responded with a resounding slap to Zhao Lin.

Under the horrified expressions of everyone, Lu Tianxing raised his hand again, fingers spread, swung his arm without hesitation, and fiercely slapped Zhao Lin’s face.

In this slap, Lu Tianxing did not use his True Qi, but even his physical strength alone was more than Zhao Lin could handle.

”Slap!”

The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the hall, and Zhao Lin, like a baseball hit out of the park, flew through the air.

”Ah!”

Zhao Lin let out a painful scream as he crashed heavily into a flowerpot. Ignoring the pain in his body, he clutched his face instead, as several teeth mixed with blood were spat out from his mouth, his eyes filled with intense fear and resentment as he glared at Lu Tianxing.

Silence!

An eerie, deathly stillness!

Time seemed to freeze in that moment.

Nobody had expected that Lu Tianxing would really strike Zhao Lin, and do so ruthlessly at that. It was incredibly daring—after all, although the Zhao Family wasn’t considered a top family in Xiangjiang, they were certainly not weak. For Lu Tianxing to strike a member of the Zhao Family required enormous courage.

As they admired Lu Tianxing’s courage, a hint of pity flowed through everyone’s hearts, for having offended the Zhao Family, Lu Tianxing was surely doomed.

Xue Man witnessed this scene with a strong look of concern on her face, her fingers tightly clasped together. Due to the excessive force, her fingertips had turned somewhat white. Although she was not from Xiangjiang, she had heard of Zhao Lin’s background. She had the intention to remind Lu Tianxing, but when she saw the confidence in his eyes, she didn’t know why her tense mood suddenly calmed down. It seemed as long as this man did not fall, no one could harm him.

The entire hall had fallen into a deathly silence. The bodyguards, having regained consciousness, looked at Lu Tianxing with eyes full of terror, yet they dared not make any moves and just watched him.

Lu Tianxing, with a mocking smile, coldly looked at Zhao Lin without making any moves, just watching him.

”Get lost, get the fuck out of my way, fuck~your~grandfather. Does Lin Hua Security Company want to turn against me? How dare you block my path? Believe it or not, I’ll fucking kill you all, get the fuck out.”

No one knew how long it had been when an extremely annoyed and profanity-laden voice came from inside the building.

Everyone lifted their heads toward the source of the voice, only to see a bulky man stepping out of the building, cursing incessantly. He wore a checkered shirt and floral shorts, and his neck and fingers were adorned with thick gold chains and a large gold ring, his face looking extremely displeased.

”What the hell? I was just upstairs for a bit, and now there are so many people lying around here. Has performance art moved indoors now?”

The man exclaimed in disbelief after seeing the scene in the hall: ”Tsk tsk, who the heck is this? Isn’t this a bit too dedicated for performance art? His face has even turned out like this; isn’t he being too harsh on himself just for some money? Isn’t he afraid of ruining his looks?”

As he spoke, the man crouched down, seemingly intending to take a closer look, but when he saw clearly who it was, he paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

”Hahaha, I actually feel inexplicably good seeing this. Turns out it’s the Zhao Family’s pretty boy. I don’t know which brother hit him, but damn, it feels so good. I’ve wanted to hit him for a long time. Clearly a shameless hypocrite, yet always posing as a gentleman. It’s so annoying to look at, and now he finally got what he deserved. Awesome, so satisfying! Should I take a photo to commemorate this?”

Saying this, the man ignored everyone around him, took out his phone from his pocket, and snapped several pictures before finally putting his phone away, satisfied.

Upon hearing this voice and seeing the man’s actions, Zhao Lin’s expression immediately turned grim. But when he clearly saw who the man was, he was stunned for a moment, and his anger vanished without a trace, replaced by a hint of joy.

”Cheng... Chairman Cheng Bao!”

Zhao Lin’s voice carried an intense touch of excitement, as if a drowning person had grabbed the last straw.

Cheng Bao, one of Xiangjiang’s famous entrepreneurs and the chairman of Black Panther Security Company, had a huge reputation for being ruthless. He was known for his dealings in both the legitimate and the underworld sectors. He repays kindness and seeks revenge with a vengeance. If you didn’t offend him, fine, but if you did, he would not stop until you were destroyed.

Once, a family in Xiangjiang had framed Cheng Bao before he made his fortune, nearly getting him killed. A month later, important members of that family died in a car accident while on the way to a banquet. Rumors had it that Cheng Bao was the mastermind behind the accident.

Moreover, it is said that he has considerable influence overseas, and even the Zhao Family would not choose to clash with Cheng Bao unless absolutely necessary.

Although Cheng Bao ran a security company, which logically made him the sworn enemy of Lin Hua Security Company, Zhao Lin, previously dismissive of Cheng Bao as a brute, was now pinning his only hope on Cheng Bao to take revenge and give Lu Tianxing a harsh lesson.

More importantly, as long as Lu Tianxing had offended Cheng Bao, there was no way he would leave Xiangjiang alive. Moreover, since the murderer would be Cheng Bao, if Bai’s Group wanted revenge, they would have to target him, absolving Zhao Lin of any issues. By then, he would profit from their dispute, killing two birds with one stone—not only getting rid of the undesirable Lu Tianxing but taking over Cheng Bao’s entire enterprise as Bai’s Group and Cheng Bao inflicted mutual damage during their clash. It was perfect, and he might even take over Bai’s Group and acquire Bai Zhiqing, the stunningly beautiful woman, achieving three victories with one shot.
