Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Just Had Two Days Rest and Now Have to Beat Up the Protagonist Again, What a Refreshing Life!

The next day, at Linjiang City International Airport, a young man about twenty-five years old with a solemn face and sharp eyes emerged from the terminal. This man was Ye Tian.

“Eight years...” Ye Tian couldn’t help but sigh as he left the airport, “Jiuzhou Country is indeed the best...” After spending eight years in Heizhou, tired of a life on the edge, he had returned to his homeland for retirement.

Ye Tian took out his phone and dialed Lin Canghai’s number. During his time abroad, he had once saved Lin Canghai by a stroke of fate, and Lin had promised to help him find a job upon his return to the country.

“Hello, who is this?” The phone was quickly answered, with a somewhat puzzled voice from Lin Canghai on the other end.

“It’s me, Ye Tian...”

“Ye Tian? You’re back in the country?” Lin Canghai’s tone turned excited. It had been three years without any news from Ye Tian. He thought Ye Tian wouldn’t return, but surprisingly, he received his call today.

After all, Ye Tian was his life savior, and Lin had not properly thanked him back then. Now, Ye Tian’s return was an opportunity for Lin to repay his debt of gratitude.

“Yes, I just got off the plane. I was hoping you could help me arrange a job,” Ye Tian said with a light smile, somewhat aware of Lin Canghai’s background.

The Lin family was among the top families in Linjiang City, and arranging a job for him would be easy for them.

“Wait at the airport, I’ll send someone to pick you up, and we can meet and talk.”

“Alright...” After the call, Ye Tian sat on a bench by the roadside, idly watching the passersby.

About an hour later, a Maybach stopped in front of him, and two men in black got out of the car. “Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Tian?”

“Yes, I am Ye Tian.”

“Our master has sent us to take you to the Ye residence. Please get in the car,” the man in black said respectfully, stepping aside to make way, with a gesture of invitation.

They had been instructed not to provoke Ye Tian, whose background was formidable, so they were extremely respectful.

After Ye Tian got into the car, the men in black also got back in and drove straight to the Ye family’s compound.

...

At the Ye family compound, Ye Tian was led by the men in black directly into the villa’s living room, where Lin Canghai was already waiting in the main seat.

“It’s been three years, and yet Young Master Ye still looks as spirited as ever,” Lin Canghai said, stroking his beard and smiling faintly as he looked at Ye Tian.

“Mr. Lin, you too. It’s been three years, and you seem even healthier than before,” Ye Tian responded, taking out a gift box from his backpack and handing it to Lin Canghai.

“What’s this?” Lin Canghai asked curiously.

“Ye Tian, this is my granddaughter, Lin Xiyan, currently serving as the president of our Lin Corporation.”

“Miss Lin, nice to meet you. I’m Ye Tian,” Ye Tian said as he stood up and extended his hand in a gesture of friendship.

“Sorry, I don’t like physical contact with men, even handshakes,” Lin Xiyan said, frowning slightly and not extending her hand.

“No problem, I understand,” Ye Tian replied with an awkward smile, withdrawing his hand, though feeling somewhat annoyed inside. “Bitch! Acting all high and mighty! Wait until one day when I, Ye Tian...”

“Grandpa, I don’t need a bodyguard,” Lin Xiyan said, turning to Lin Canghai. She was skilled in martial arts and already had several bodyguards; she didn’t need Ye Tian.

“Ye Tian is not an ordinary person; he can protect you,” Lin Canghai suggested. “You young people should try to interact more...”

“I don’t need it,” Lin Xiyan said, frowning. She could sense the underlying meaning in her grandfather’s words.

But how could she agree with his opinion when her relationship with Jiang Che was still ambiguous? She went upstairs without giving Ye Tian another glance.

“My granddaughter is just like that, don’t take it to heart,” Lin Canghai said awkwardly, puzzled.

Usually, Lin Xiyan was gentle with everyone; why did she change her attitude so suddenly at his suggestion? Could it be that she already had someone in her heart?

“No worries. It’s common for girls to have small tempers; I understand,” Ye Tian said, retracting his gaze from the second floor and smiling lightly.

...

At Crouching Dragon Mountain Villa, by the pool.

“Mr. Lin sent someone to bring Ye Tian back to the Lin family?” Jiang Che asked, enjoying the massage from Ah Qing, without lifting his head.

“Yes, young master, our people saw Ye Tian going to the Lin family,” Ah Long answered respectfully. He didn’t understand why the young master wanted someone to keep an eye on such an ordinary-looking person, but he didn’t ask further.

“Tell the brothers to continue watching him, but remember not to expose their identities.”

“Yes,” Ah Long responded and respectfully withdrew.

Jiang Che sipped some juice placed nearby, starting to piece together the upcoming plot. Ye Tian would become Lin Xiyan’s bodyguard, face ridicule and disdain, then gradually change Lin Xiyan’s opinion of him through various heroic deeds, eventually winning her over.

But with Jiang Che present, how could Ye Tian get his wish?

“It’s about time for me to make a move again. Just rested for two days, and now I have to beat up the protagonist again. This kind of life is really... awesome!” Jiang Che mused, enjoying the moment.

“Young master, how’s the strength?”

“A bit stronger...” Jiang Che closed his eyes comfortably and said with a contented expression.
