Chapter 298: I’m an Assistant, Not a Security Guard
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Xue said angrily, “What kind of attitude is that? You’re Li Yan’s assistant. Shouldn’t you be protecting me?”
“As you said it yourself- I’m an assistant, not a security guard,” the assistant said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. “If you’re afraid of problems, you can hire your own security guards. However, I won’t protect you.”
Bai Xue said angrily, “I order you to come with me,”
This assistant was Li Yan’s favorite. If he accompanied her, not only could he be used as a security guard, but it would also show that Li Yan valued her.
Ever since the assistant was tricked last time, he didn’t view Bai Xue nicely. Even if she was Li Yan’s woman, he still saw her as a bad person.
He replied, “CEO Li said that you need money, so I can give it to you temporarily. If it’s any other order, he didn’t ask me to carry it out. I’m sorry.” Bai Xue was furious, but Bai An didn’t give her much time, so she couldn’t delay any longer.
“Alright,” Bai Xue couldn’t help but say. “You’re quite capable. I’ll see what you can do when Li Yan comes back.”
“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now,” the assistant said coldly.
“I have something to say,” Bai Xue said. “Give me a million yuan and ten security guards. Have them pick me up immediately. Also, arrange for a few reporters.”
A million? A security guard? Reporters?
The assistant was stunned but quickly replied, “The money will be in your account soon, and I’ll arrange the security guard and reporters in a bit. Is there anything else?”
Bai Xue didn’t say anything and directly hung up the phone. Since she didn’t need anything else anyway, there was no need to continue talking nonsense.
An hour later, Bai Xue and Bai An met at the entrance of a small hotel.
Seeing Bai An dressed in simple, clean clothes and carrying a big backpack, Bai Xue was stunned and felt a little guilty.
She said gently, “Second Brother, why don’t you sit in the same car as me?”
Seeing that Bai Xue had brought ten security guards with her, Bai An sneered. She wasn’t going back to attend a funeral, but she was clearly going back just to show off.
“Let’s go,” Bai An said as he got into the car.
Bai Xue’s expression changed. The assistant beside her said, “Bai Xue, we’re getting in the car too,”
Then, the assistant gave the reporter a look.
The reporter nodded in understanding.
After getting into the car, the reporter sat directly beside Bai An.
Bai An hugged his backpack tightly. The reporter looked at Bai Xue’s assistant, as the latter nodded secretly.
The reporter received the signal and immediately asked, “Mr. Bai, your backpack seems to be very heavy. Why haven’t you put it down? Is there something expensive inside? Is that why you’re so nervous?”
Bai An glanced at the reporters and said coldly, “You really want to know?”
The reporter nodded. “I’m indeed curious. Can you tell me?”
He looked at the reporters for a while, then patted his backpack. He replied strangely, “There is a dead person’s bones in here, and it’s my brother’s. Do you want to see if there are any more bones in the ashes? I can open it for you!” The reporter suddenly felt a wave of fear and subconsciously moved back.
Bai Xue and her assistant’s expressions also changed drastically while the security guard in the car also looked at Bai An warily.
Bai An said sarcastically, “What are you afraid of? It’s just a corpse’s remains, not a bomb.”
As he said that, he gently patted his backpack. “Brother, I’ll bring you home. Father is still at home. He’s waiting for you to go back and be buried with him.”
The reporter comforted him. “Mr. Bai, I’m sorry for your loss. I heard that your father and brother both died in a car accident. Why is Mr. Bai in his hometown, but your brother is here? Could it be that they didn’t get into a car accident together?”
Bai An said seriously, “It was a car accident together. My father’s body was intact, so he was sent back to his hometown. However, my brother was in a miserable state. His body was in tatters, so it was inconvenient to send him back. I was afraid that my mother wouldn’t be able to take it, and with the sparks in this place, I’m here to bring my brother’s ashes and soul home.” “You seem to be a knowledgeable person, yet why are you so superstitious?” asked the reporter in puzzlement.
“If you’re not superstitious, then why are you afraid?” Bai An said sarcastically. “Aren’t these just a dead person’s bones? He can’t come out and strangle you anymore. Even if he crawled out, he would be crippled. Do you guys still have to be afraid that you can’t beat him?”
The reporter’s face was filled with black lines. He reckoned that the first thing he should do was to give this man a slap.
When Bai Xue heard that Bai An was carrying her big brother’s ashes, she was terrified and subconsciously shrank her neck.
The assistant wasn’t in a good condition either. His face was a little pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. How unlucky was he to be in the same car with a pile of ashes?
In order to ease the atmosphere, the reporter said, “Mr. Bai, what do you think of this car? Is it alright?”
Bai An looked at the car. This was the most luxurious car he had ever seen, but so what?
He replied, “The design is not bad, but it’s too coquettish.. Even a car full of men can’t suppress this smell!”
