Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1256: Winds and Clouds Surging

“Really?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing rolled her eyes with disdain and said, “Then can you, this honest and hard-working employee, explain to me why most of the time when I look at you, your gaze is wandering among those women? Is that what you call your hard work and struggle?”

Feeling Bai Zhiqing’s disparaging gaze, Lu Tianxing’s expression didn’t change at all. He responded earnestly, “Honey, you’ve misunderstood. I’m simply observing whether they are carrying weapons. You know, the safest place is often the most dangerous. And women might just hide weapons there, because men sometimes don’t observe this place carefully.”

“Really? I hope so.”

Bai Zhiqing glanced at Lu Tianxing and didn’t pursue the matter further. Instead, she leaned back in the front passenger seat and gently closed her eyes. Today, she felt completely exhausted. The frenzy surrounding the jade carving of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong in New York far exceeded her expectations.

This was followed by a swarm of tourists and various people wanting Bai’s jewelry company to carve jade. Throughout the day, she barely had a chance to drink water; she was entirely busy the whole day.

She didn’t feel much while she was busy, but now as she relaxed, Bai Zhiqing felt as if her whole body was going to fall apart. She didn’t want to move at all; she just wanted to sleep well.

Lu Tianxing glanced at the tired Bai Zhiqing, took a deep breath, and didn’t say anything more. He simply gradually slowed down the car to ensure a smoother journey.

A journey that originally took half an hour was extended to an hour by Lu Tianxing.

As he steadily parked the car at the entrance of the Bikeman Hotel, Lu Tianxing handed the car key to the valet beside him, then turned to the front passenger seat. He looked at Bai Zhiqing, who was fast asleep, reached out his hands, one to hold her legs and the other her back, lifting her whole body off the car and heading upstairs.

Returning to the hotel room, Lu Tianxing gently placed Bai Zhiqing on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and was just stepping out of the bedroom when his phone suddenly let out a melodious ringtone from his pocket.

Lu Tianxing paused slightly, took out his phone to glance at the caller ID, then answered the call without hesitation, “Angel, why did you suddenly call me?”

“What, are you unhappy that I called you?”

Soon, Angel’s plaintive voice came through the phone.

“Happy, why wouldn’t I be happy.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, “Is there something you need?”

“Johnson is dead.”

Angel’s voice spoke again.

Lu Tianxing was taken aback, “Dead?”

“Yes, just last night, a fire suddenly broke out at Johnson’s villa, and he was burnt to death inside.”

Angel’s voice was soft, with no concern over Johnson’s death.

“Dead is dead, just a waste.”

Lu Tianxing was neither surprised nor sympathetic to Johnson’s death; from the moment Johnson called him a yellow-skinned monkey, Johnson’s fate was sealed.

“Angel, you wouldn’t have called just to tell me about this, would you?”

“Of course not, I wanted to tell you that if you want to leave New York, the next few days will be your last chance.”

Angel’s voice became very solemn, filled with worry.

The more you know, the more afraid you become. With the continuous flow of information from the Angel Intelligence Station, Angel felt more anxious, as too many people wanted to kill Lu Tianxing this time, and each one was very powerful. If they acted individually, it might be manageable, but if they united, even Lu Tianxing and the Angel Intelligence Station could not stop them.

Upon hearing Angel’s words, Lu Tianxing’s expression remained unchanged. He laughed lightly and said, “Angel, it seems you’ve found something out. Tell me!”

“Judge, you…”

Before Angel could finish her sentence, Lu Tianxing interrupted, “Angel, you don’t have to say it. In the past, I would’ve turned and left with Zhiqing without hesitation, but this time, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to face it because I can’t retreat this time. Tell me, how many people want to deal with me this time.”

“Sigh…”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s resolute words, Angel knew her persuasion had completely failed. She took a deep breath and said, “Today we investigated Shankou Hongyi, Clan Leader Yue’er of the Jerviev family, Black Ghost, leader of the Hell Ghost Mercenary Corps, and Church personnel, all gathered in a building on Manhattan Street. It seems they’re discussing something, and if my guess is correct, they’re highly likely planning to join forces against you….”

Angel didn’t hide anything; she told Lu Tianxing everything she had discovered.

Lu Tianxing didn’t respond immediately; instead, he sat on the sofa, pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and asked calmly, “Angel, do you know when they’ll take action?”

“No idea, but if they’re not acting now, they likely want to wipe you and the Netherworld Mercenary Corps out completely; hence, they won’t act yet. They’re probably waiting for the right moment, waiting for you to gather all the members of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps before making a move. This way, they not only kill you but can also eradicate the core strength of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, achieving their goal once and for all.”

Angel’s eyes gleamed with certainty as she said, “Judge, this is all I can investigate for now. After all, the forces this time are too strong; it’s nearly impossible to find out their arrangements in a short time. Additionally, Judge, I hope you leave New York, as I’m afraid I can’t help you this time. The competition with the Morgan Family has reached an intense stage, and I have no way to extricate myself. I’m sorry, Judge.”

Upon hearing Angel’s apologetic tone, Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, “Angel, you’ve already done enough for me. These mere ants can’t trap me completely. If they want to destroy me, they need to see if they’re strong enough to bite; besides, I have more than one card on my side. Right now, I need you to help investigate whether Holy Mountain and Silent Annihilation have appeared in New York.”

The power of the Church and the Shankou Family may be tremendous, but Lu Tianxing is equally unafraid. What truly makes him apprehensive is Holy Mountain and the First Killer Ji mie, one being an extremely mysterious western organization and the other the world’s recognized number one assassin. These forces are the most frightening.
