Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Although Lu Tianxing did not speak further, Huang Zhengde could slowly put his mind at ease, feeling that since Lu Tianxing did not pursue the matter now, it meant he was letting the Huang Family off the hook this time and wouldn’t settle scores later.

Huang Zhengde took a deep breath, pressed down his thoughts, and cautiously said to Lu Tianxing, ”Mr. Lu, I heard that the Tang and Yang Families want to deal with you in Beijing this time. Do you need our Huang Family’s help? As long as you say the word, even if we have to scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, our Huang Family will not refuse.”

”Scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, and never refuse?”

Listening to these words, Lu Tianxing showed a faintly mocking smile, glancing slightly at Huang Zhengde and said indifferently, ”Mr. Huang, are you sure about what you’re saying? If I wanted you to confront the Tang and Yang Families, would your Huang Family not refuse?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Huang Zhengde’s expression changed instantly, unable to suppress a bitter smile.

Although the Huang Family is currently the leading family in Xiangjiang, the Tang and Yang Families are top forces in China. Compared to them, the Huang Family is like an ant trying to compete with an elephant in size, an act of overestimating its capabilities. If the Huang Family dared to confront the Tang and Yang Families, the latter would not even need to take serious action; just dispatching a late-stage Mythical level member would suffice to sweep through the entire Huang Family and uproot it.

The incident with Tang Wenhu is the best example, where three martial artists at the peak of mid-stage Mythical were enough to uproot the Huang Family.

Although thinking like this, Huang Zhengde’s expression quickly returned to calmness. He said heavily, ”Mr. Lu, if the Huang Family can buy you any time, even by using all its strength, we will not back down, even when facing the Tang and Yang Families.”

Huang Zhengde’s resolute words sounded in Lu Tianxing’s ears as he sat on the sofa, expressionless, sipping tea slowly as if he hadn’t heard Huang Zhengde at all.

After a while, Lu Tianxing finally set down his teacup, showed a faint smile, and waved his hand casually, saying, ”Mr. Huang, I was just joking with you; don’t take it to heart.”

Then, Lu Tianxing continued, ”Besides, this time against the Tang and Yang Families, I am fully prepared and don’t need your involvement. However, in future conflicts with minor enemies, I hope you can be of assistance, Mr. Huang.”

”Mr. Lu, as long as you ask, the Huang Family will never refuse,” Huang Zhengde replied firmly, looking at Lu Tianxing.

”Then I must thank you, Mr. Huang.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Huang Zhengde and said again, ”Mr. Huang, the decor of this villa carries the style of Jiangnan gardens. How about you accompany me for a stroll around this villa to appreciate the scenery?”

Surprised by Lu Tianxing’s words, Huang Zhengde was momentarily stunned but soon nodded and said, ”Sure, no problem. Mr. Lu, please follow me.”

As his voice faded, Huang Zhengde gestured invitingly and began to walk out of the living room.

Lu Tianxing also rose from the sofa, stride quickly following Huang Zhengde outside.

...

Lu Tianxing did not stay long at the Huang Family. After a simple lunch, he declined the Huang Family’s offer to drive him back and left with one of their cars instead.

Shortly after leaving the Huang Family, the mobile phone in Lu Tianxing’s pocket rang with a gentle tone.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Lu Tianxing casually picked up the phone and was slightly surprised to see the caller ID—Angel. Why was she calling him at this time?

Though puzzled, Lu Tianxing quickly regained his composure, pulled over, and answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, before Lu Tianxing could speak, a charmingly seductive voice came from the other end, ”Good afternoon, dear Judge. Was last night’s roll in the hay with that female officer exciting? Did she wear her uniform for you?”

Lu Tianxing felt his face break out in sweat upon hearing Angel’s words—could this woman ever tone down her provocativeness?

”You are imagining things. Last night I did nothing; I simply took her back to her place so she could sleep.”

”Tch, lone guy and lonely girl, full of passion; if nothing happened, do you think I would believe it?”

Angel’s voice suddenly turned somewhat resentful, ”You heartless man, it’s been so long and you haven’t come to see me. Do you know how empty I feel every night? If you don’t believe me, I might just grab some eggplants and cucumbers and cuckold you...”

Before Angel could finish, Lu Tianxing hurriedly interrupted her, saying, ”Angel, you know how many things I have to deal with in Beijing; when do I have the time to find you, I...”

This time, Angel cut off Lu Tianxing’s words without hesitation, saying, ”No time for me, but time to roll in the hay with a female officer? Judge, you’re just a man who tires of the new and loves the old. You’ve lost interest in me and plan to abandon me, right? You heartless wretch, I am going to tell your wife that you abandoned me...”

Listening to Angel’s accusatory tone, Lu Tianxing felt his scalp prickling. This woman was born to perform; even though he knew Angel was just acting, her words made him feel as though he had committed a grave injustice, with a sense of unforgivable wrong.

”Stop, stop, I was wrong, isn’t that enough?”

Lu Tianxing hurriedly interrupted Angel, smiling bitterly, ”Angel, I was wrong. Once I resolve things in Beijing, I will spend time with you, okay? I’ll do whatever you ask, even work like a horse.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Angel couldn’t help but show a brilliant smile, ”That’s what you said, you better not forget, or do you want to know the cost of deceiving the Morgan Family’s Clan Leader?”

Surprised by Angel’s words, Lu Tianxing was momentarily stunned, then showed a faint smile, ”Okay, I promise you. Once I finish dealing with matters in Beijing, I’ll be with you.”
