Zheng Yucheng was truly puzzled. He originally didn’t understand Li Yan’s identity, and with his father’s dignified visit to S City to et him, it was only for his sister’s sake, not wanting to make a big deal out of bringing Fei’Er’s friend to Cloud Island to et. But that’s all there was to it. Why the need for a private eting, and why such a grand banquet? Even calling him "old brother," doesn’t that an he should call him uncle?
However, after hearing Li Yan’s words, seeing him look over, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
He vaguely guessed a bit, perhaps his father found this person to be quite formidable, wanting to recruit him as a bodyguard for Fei’Er? With him for protection, Fei’Er’s safety would be more assured than before, wouldn’t it?
"This way, please!" Zheng Yucheng dared not have any opinions and took the lead to guide the way.
Zheng Tian smiled and said, "No worries, rankings are all clouds, we’ll each make our own way!"
Walking ahead Zheng Yucheng, hearing his father’s words, finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn’t have to call this man, younger than himself, an uncle. Unaware that neither of them referred to him, but rather ntioned Nian Yufei and Li Yan being peer friends.
The bodyguard quickly closed the doors to the two guest rooms, then followed behind toward the elevator. Previously, there were a few subordinates, who were nowhere to be seen, likely assigned to other tasks, such as monitoring the banquet preparation progress in the downstairs restaurant’s private rooms.
The four of them walked down the corridor of the top floor without exchanging words, not a suitable place for conversation, even trivial matters could wait until they reached the restaurant’s private rooms for more leisurely discussion. Thus, there were only footsteps.
...
When they reached the elevator, it seed that soone had just entered inside. If the elevator went down, they’d have to wait for the next one. Being on the top floor, naturally, there were more guests downstairs using the elevator, with more ti needed to ascend.
"Wait a mont!" Zheng Yucheng quickly stepped forward, gesturing to the guests inside the elevator to hold it for them. Currently, there were only four of them; both Zheng Tian and Li Yan had surpassed their overtly arrogant stage, appearing collected like ordinary individuals, hence not as imposing as when they first arrived.
The closing elevator was held open by the guests inside, Zheng Yucheng also reached the elevator entrance, relaxed, and then turned respectfully to welco his father over.
At that mont, a sudden change occurred; the guest who had entered the elevator earlier suddenly lurched forward, pressing sothing against Zheng Yucheng, making him jolt as if hit by an electric shock.
The assailant struck and backed off quickly, while the one holding the elevator lunged out, delivering a swift kick from behind, causing Zheng Yucheng to stumble forward.
At that ti, Li Yan, Zheng Tian, and the bodyguard approached and witnessed the sudden turn of events.
Despite their surprise, Li Yan and Zheng Tian remained calm, while the bodyguard rapidly assessed the situation. His primary protection target was Zheng Tian, not Zheng Yucheng, so he quickly turned to check behind, seeing no one surrounding them, he then dashed forward. However, he didn’t attempt to help Zheng Yucheng off the ground, instead facing the two attackers.
By this ti, the bodyguard had also clearly seen the attackers’ faces, knowing that the one who initially hit Zheng Yucheng used a stun baton, and the second attacker was unard, especially without a gun. This wasn’t inside a room anymore; it was a monitored public area, hence he didn’t draw his gun, instead moving forward to confront them unard.
The second attacker obviously realized the bodyguard was the toughest to deal with, so they swiftly initiated the attack, leaping lightly to kick toward the bodyguard’s head.
The bodyguard wasn’t fazed, didn’t dodge, standing still and directly blocking with his hand.
Yet, not only did the attacker kick once, they managed to throw another kick in mid-air; the head-kicking attempt was blocked, but the second kick struck the bodyguard’s chest, who then stumbled sideways, twisting to maintain their balance.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Li Yan quickly stepped forward, restraining the bodyguard who was about to launch a counterattack.
"What are you doing?" The bodyguard spoke for the first ti, coldly watching Li Yan. Anyone who could stun Zheng Yucheng definitely wasn’t a friend, and the real target should be the more prominent Zheng Tian. As the bodyguard, he couldn’t afford to be lax.
"They are my friends, coming to rescue ."
As soon as Li Yan arrived, he saw clearly; the ones joining forces to ambush Zheng Yucheng were Yu Xiaodi and Li Jie! Li Jie’s abilities were not concerning to him, even with gender-based physical differences, the agile techniques she had wouldn’t lose or get hurt within a period. However, Yu Xiaodi was different; even as a sporty girl, she was rely an ordinary person, which was why she used a stun baton for surprise attacks. If kicked by the bodyguard, she couldn’t dodge fast enough and would be injured.
Of course, now that Li Yan himself was present, he wouldn’t allow Yu Xiaodi or Li Jie to get hurt. He’d promptly explain, mostly aware that the bodyguard had a gun; if he fired recklessly, rescuing would beco much harder.
