Ye Tian looked at the short-haired girl who was laughing uncontrollably and felt a bit of a headache approaching. This girl sported a yellow explosion hairstyle, wore sunglasses that covered half her face, had at least three earrings on each ear, and was dressed in a revealing tank top vest, a total non-mainstream young punk. She was pretty, but pretty girls with this kind of personality are always troublesome. Don’t think she’s just playful and cute; she’s actually eccentric and might cook up some crazy idea to put you on the spot. Glancing at Zhang Houtu, Ye Tian silently muttered an apology in his mind, sorry my brother.
Just as Ye Tian was about to turn around and flee, he was still stopped by the girl, "Hey, buzz cut, aren’t you supposed to pass on messages? Go, tell Chen Pingrui, just say, ’Chen Xing has come to pay respects to Eunuch Rui.’"
Zhang Houtu’s wide-open mouth shut abruptly, his face showing surprise, and Ye Tian was also stunned.
Looking at the girl’s age, she was only about twenty or so, and even drove a car with a license plate starting with ’A’. Although her temper seemed a bit bad, she didn’t look like she was from that sort of profession, right? Could it be that a mistress has come knocking? But that’s not right either, people from official families doing that?
"Miss, are you possibly misunderstanding something? Why don’t you make a phone call first?" Ye Tian pointed to the landline inside the duty room and said.
Chen Xing casually rolled up the car window, "Just do as I said, ’Chen Xing has come to pay respects to Eunuch Rui.’"
This great eunuch actually has a daughter.
Ye Tian sat in the passenger seat and looked back at the Golden Lion King shaking his head to the music, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"What are you looking at, be careful or our sister Xing might teach you a lesson."
While saying "teach you a lesson," the driving little duck stretched out a hand in an Orchid Finger gesture, that provocative glance, the shaking ponytail, and the faint smoky makeup at the corner of the eyes all deeply disgusted Ye Tian, spending time with these kinds of people, no wonder the daughter can turn bad.
"Hey, where exactly is it?"
"Turn right ahead, a standalone villa with its own courtyard is his place."
That light snort almost pushed Ye Tian’s patience to its limit, fortunately, they arrived at Chen Pingrui’s residence, otherwise, he might have actually thrown up in the car.
The gate was opened by a remote control held by the little duck, it seemed the Golden Lion King’s words weren’t wrong, at least someone who could hold the gate’s keys wouldn’t be someone of too low status. The gates were automatic, and after the Mercedes drove in, they closed automatically, and the car didn’t stop until it reached the parking area within the courtyard.
"Hey, how did you get in?" the Golden Lion King, who had been listening to music with his eyes shut, noticed Ye Tian was still there and immediately showed some displeasure.
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, pointing to the little duck beside him, "He brought me in."
"Hey, how annoying, when did I say I was bringing you in, you came in on your own, Sister Xing, please don’t listen to this little rascal making stuff up here, the moment I saw him..."
"Alright, get out of the car!"
Too lazy to deal with him anymore, Chen Xing stepped out of the car. Ye Tian made a face at the little duck and then got out of the car, seemingly delighted by the disaster.
"Ah!" Before he could take another step, he heard a sharp scream. Ye Tian hurriedly jumped out, and three dogs appeared in an instant.
"Bang! Bang!" Ye Tian looked back to see the two who had just gotten out of the car had hurried back into the vehicle, leaving Ye Tian alone outside. Even more infuriating, the little duck was desperately pulling on the car door behind Ye Tian, apparently scared that the three big dogs were going to burst in and bite someone.
"Are you crazy? You really want to keep him out there! Open the door, let him in... huh?"
Just as Chen Xing was about to open the door, he saw Ye Tian playing happily with the three dogs; one hand petting a dog’s head, the other stroking another dog’s back, and a third dog joyously chasing its tail.
How strange. Although Chen Xing didn’t engage in breeding dogs like his dad did, he knew well enough that these dogs raised by his dad were generally unrecognizable to anyone but their trainers, especially the dogs bred for fighting in the yard, wild and untamed, fed live animals daily, and could be described as bloodthirsty beasts. Usually, besides the dog fighter and himself, no one was allowed near them. How come these dogs acted so docilely today when they saw this security guard?
"Go, play over there." Ye Tian waved his hand, and the three dogs obediently ran off into the distance, looking nothing like fighting dogs but rather like three well-behaved, adorable kittens.
"What the hell." Chen Xing muttered under his breath, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. The little duck hurriedly followed, occasionally looking back to see if the dogs were chasing after them. Only upon entering the house did they finally relax.
This wasn’t where he belonged. Ye Tian watched the two enter the house before he turned to leave. However, upon reaching the gate, he found it closed. Although it was just an electric gate that was more symbolic than functional, it would look very inappropriate for a security guard to simply climb over the gate of a residence. Just as he was about to seek help, a black Audi A4 slowly approached, and right at that moment, the gate opened automatically.
Chen Pingrui not at home?
Soon, Ye Tian saw that the person in the car was not Chen Pingrui, but a good-looking man with a crew cut, dressed in a plain white suit. Simple and subdued, yet an overwhelming aura of vendetta could not be hidden. As the man drove past, Ye Tian caught his brief glance, lasting only a second, but long enough for Ye Tian to feel it was not without reason, almost like a warning.
Taking advantage of the Audi entering, Ye Tian left through the gate. It wasn’t that he was overly suspicious; the habits from his years in warfare weren’t something one could easily shake off. Moreover, Mo Yan didn’t place him here as a security guard without significant reasons, most likely related to dealing with someone or achieving some purpose. Keeping himself safe while learning more about the people and the affairs here was certainly not a bad idea.
Zhang Xiayang parked his car and saw the Mercedes S600 parked next door, realizing someone had come and that it must be that fearless troublemaker. After locking his car and before he could get upstairs, he heard voices from inside.
"Why are you targeting him, why!"
"I’m doing this for your own good."
"I don’t need your good intentions, you have four wives, can you even manage, and you still talk of my good."
A loud "Bang!"—the sound of someone slapping the table.
Zhang Xiayang stopped halfway up the stairs and leaned against the white wall to smoke. He knew all too well that Chen Pingrui’s harem life was far more troublesome than outsiders could imagine, with his three headstrong daughters giving him endless headaches, not to mention the three troublesome mothers behind those daughters.
