Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

When Chen Min heard Tang Fengxing’s words, her expression froze slightly. She didn’t say anything right away, instead falling into silence.

There’s a saying that fits well here: a good match in social standing. When she married Tang Fengxing, it wasn’t just because he liked her, it was also because she and the Tang Family were well matched. She came from a hidden aristocratic clan, the Chen Family. The Chen Family never flaunted their strength, never made enemies with anyone, you could say they had always stayed out of worldly disputes. But if you dared to underestimate the Chen Family, then you’d die without even a grave to be buried in.

After all, a tiger that’s sleeping is still a tiger; it’s just that you haven’t managed to enrage it yet.

Tang Fengxing’s words right now instantly forced Chen Min into silence. You have to know, the Chen Family has always ignored outside affairs, never made enemies. After marrying her into the Tang Family, the Chen Family simply disappeared, and never again interfered in Tang Family matters. Now he wanted the Chen Family to step in and help the Tang Family—would the Chen Family be willing?

More importantly, if this time, even with the Chen Family intervening, they still couldn’t do anything to Lu Tianxing, would Lu Tianxing spare the Chen Family in the future?

Judging from Lu Tianxing’s way of doing things, he’d probably just wipe out the Chen Family completely, uprooting them to the last trace.

For the sake of her man, she’d be gambling with the entire Chen Family, betting the lives of her own kin—was that a bargain?

A hint of confusion flickered across Chen Min’s face. Even though she was very smart, at this moment she fell into bewilderment. On one side was the husband she loved deeply, on the other side was her family. Both sides were flesh of her flesh—it was almost impossible to choose.

Tang Fengxing took in every subtle change in Chen Min’s expression, and a trace of anger couldn’t help but surface on his face. ”Min’er, why aren’t you talking? Do you want to just watch me die with your eyes wide open?”

”Min’er, I’m your man. Do you have any idea how terrifying Lu Tianxing is? Do you know what people outside are saying about that monstrous genius of the Lu Family? If we keep letting Lu Tianxing grow, then the entire Tang Family is going to be blown to ashes.”

Tang Fengxing suddenly shot up from the sofa, gripping Chen Min’s shoulders with both hands and growling, ”Min’er, you should know what kind of style Lu Tianxing has. If it really comes down to that, do you think he’ll let us go? When the time comes, it won’t just be me dying—Qingyun will die too, everyone related to the Tang Family will die. Are you really willing to watch the people around you die one after another?”

Tang Fengxing looked at Chen Min with a somewhat hideous expression. ”Min’er, don’t delude yourself about pleading with Lu Tianxing. As someone from the Chen Family, you should understand the saying ’if you don’t root out the weeds, a spring breeze will make them grow again.’ If Lu Tianxing were the type to show mercy, he wouldn’t have already wiped out one clan after another.”

Listening to Tang Fengxing at her ear, Chen Min couldn’t help but close her eyes. Not a single word Tang Fengxing said was wrong. If one day Lu Tianxing really slaughtered his way into the Tang Family, there was no way he’d hold back. Once he made his move, he would definitely turn the Tang Family into a river of blood, wiping out even the chickens and dogs.

Seeing the look on Chen Min’s face, a trace of joy flashed across Tang Fengxing’s features, then vanished without a trace. He continued, ”Min’er, even if you don’t think about me, won’t you at least think about Qingyun? Qingyun is still so young—do you want to watch him die right in front of you? Besides, Min’er, I can promise you this: as long as we can kill Lu Tianxing this time, I won’t ask anyone from the Chen Family to make a move. And as long as Lu Tianxing doesn’t kill his way into Shu, I won’t let the Chen Family show themselves. How about it?”

Chen Min acted as if she hadn’t heard a single word Tang Fengxing said, just slowly closing her eyes, no one knew what was going through her mind. Only, her expression kept shifting along with Tang Fengxing’s words.

No one knew how much time passed before Chen Min slowly opened her eyes, looked at Tang Fengxing, and said, ”Fengxing, are you sure you’re not lying to me?”

Hearing Chen Min’s words, Tang Fengxing took a deep breath, his hands naturally sliding around her waist as he spoke softly, ”Min’er, you’re my wife, you’ve been with me for decades. Even if I lied to everyone else in the world, I would never lie to you. You have to trust me.”

”Alright, I promise you.”

Chen Min looked straight at Tang Fengxing, her expression serious. ”I can try to talk to the family about this, but whether the family will send people out to help you isn’t something I can decide. Fengxing, I hope you’re mentally prepared.”

”Min’er, no matter what the outcome is, I can accept it.”

Tang Fengxing said heavily, ”Min’er, thank you. Thank you for being willing to help me.”

After hearing Tang Fengxing’s words, Chen Min nodded slightly. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. Tang Fengxing now was already half possessed; no matter what anyone said, he wouldn’t listen. He would only move forward according to his own thoughts. As for the consequences, you could say Tang Qingyun simply hadn’t considered them at all—or rather, Tang Fengxing no longer cared in the least what those consequences might be.

”Min’er, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing, I won’t act recklessly. You don’t need to worry.” Tang Fengxing looked at Chen Min, speaking with a solemn face.

”Mm.”

After hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Chen Min didn’t say anything more, just leaned lightly against Tang Fengxing’s chest. Her expression didn’t change much, leaving people unable to guess what she was really thinking inside.

As for Tang Fengxing, he was gently stroking Chen Min’s back, while within his eyes flashed a soul-piercing venomous hatred. One look and anyone could tell exactly what kind of vicious schemes he was hatching in his heart.

...

Right now, Lu Tianxing had absolutely no idea what Tang Fengxing was planning, nor that another force no weaker than the Tang Family had already started to join the fray. However, even if Lu Tianxing knew, he wouldn’t care much. He’d already offended plenty of people anyway—adding one more didn’t seem like such a big deal.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing was sitting in a car, with Sima Lingyun’s trusted subordinate Jiao Long at the wheel.

Starting early this morning, Lu Tianxing had originally planned to go nowhere, to spend the entire day in Lin Yafei’s villa, restoring his strength and waiting for the arrival of the fifth day of the month.

But before Lu Tianxing could really settle on that plan, he received a call from Sima Lingyun, saying that his master Ji Xingyun wanted to meet him. He had no choice. After asking Lin Yafei to stay with Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing went straight out. Under Jiao Long’s lead, he headed to the siheyuan where Ji Xingyun lived.

Perhaps because the car Jiao Long was driving carried an extremely special license plate, they encountered almost no obstruction along the way. There wasn’t even any congestion wherever they passed; the route stayed perfectly clear as they arrived at the entrance of a hutong in Beijing.
