Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

ID Number: 37292619920103****

Date of Birth: 1992.01.03

Hukou: Dongshan Province**

Education: Elementary school graduate

Occupation: Ex-soldier

Bio: Orphaned since childhood, enlisted at eighteen, now demobilized and looking for a match...

The hottest actress Liu Shihua glanced at the resume in her hand, her plump lips pouted, the yellowed paper contrasting sharply with her tender white hands.

"Xinlan, the more I look at this Ye Chen's bio, the more I feel it's unreliable," said Liu Shihua, her gorgeous face full of confusion.

The bodyguard that Zhang Xinlan had recommended to her had a resume full of questionable values; his handwriting was even worse than the children in kindergarten, and the paper for the resume was years old. No matter how Liu Shihua looked at it, it seemed dubious.

"Shihua, this guy is from my rural hometown, absolutely honest and reliable. I even held him when he was a child. Although his parents both died when he was young, and he grew up eating at different families' tables, he joined the military when he turned eighteen and just demobilized. I heard he learned quite a few skills in the army!" Zhang Xinlan said with a smile.

Zhang Xinlan was Liu Shihua's agent. Although Shihua called her 'sister', she was only twenty-seven or eight years old, and a well-known beauty agent in the entertainment industry. She had a charming allure and a rare quality that could make any woman envious.

"An ex-soldier? Most of my former bodyguards were ex-soldiers, but they all turned out unable to deal even with a few fans. But, since Xinlan, you recommended him, let him work for a few days. If he really has the skills, we'll keep him!"

Liu Shihua nodded and said. She was brought up by Zhang Xinlan, and their relationship was as close as sisters.

If Zhang Xinlan recommended this Ye Chen, then letting him try out wouldn't hurt.

"Yeah, don't worry! I've asked people back home, and everyone says he's trustworthy. Rumor has it, he knows some medical skills. Plus, he has some fighting skills, definitely enough to serve as your bodyguard, big star!" After finishing her reassurance, Zhang Xinlan adjusted her hair and continued looking at her itinerary.

"What, a personal bodyguard? Don't talk nonsense! I have read online novels, and those with 'personal bodyguard' in the title are all indecent!" Liu Shihua suddenly gave Zhang Xinlan a sly smile filled with unsavory implications, making her burst into laughter.

The top star of the moment, the nation's goddess, Liu Shihua, exhibiting such a lewd expression—if any paparazzi caught that, it would definitely be headline news.

"Shihua, I've told you before, always maintain your goddess-like image! If the paparazzi catch you, tomorrow's headlines will surely read—'Big Star Liu Shihua's Cosmetic Surgery Failure, Turns into a Woman with Facial Paralysis!'"

Zhang Xinlan suddenly tensed her lovely face, saying half seriously, half jokingly.

Dealing with Liu Shihua's antics wasn't a first, but it definitely wasn't going to be the last!

"Oh, Zhang, I get it! But it's just us two here in this high-end villa complex with plenty of security patrolling. There's no way the paparazzi could sneak in"

As Liu Shihua spoke, she suddenly leaped onto Zhang Xinlan, tickling her, causing her to laugh heartily.

"You little devil, I'm only a few years older than you, but I'm still a 'sister' after all. Who acts up like this with their sister every day?" Zhang Xinlan laughed, trying to appear stern but unable to keep it up as Liu Shihua tickled her armpits into laughter.

"Hmph, Xinlan, you look even younger than I do. If people didn't know, they'd think you're born after 1990!" Liu Shihua's voice was heavy with a mix of admiration, jealousy, and resentment.

Liu Shihua was a famous star nationwide. Though she had only risen to fame a few years ago, she had already gained significant recognition across Asia.

In her twenties, at the height of her youthful beauty, she had a pure and gorgeous oval face, a tall figure, and excellent charisma, which earned her the title of the nation's goddess!

However, Zhang Xinlan in no way fell short in looks compared to her, and with an even more stunning figure, she often made Liu Shihua, a fellow woman, envious.

In Liu Shihua's words, if she, a goddess, was sent by the heavens to save all male nerds on Earth, why was Zhang Xinlan, that enchantress, let loose as well.

"Shihua, you need to be careful at the Crown Prince of Longcheng's dinner tonight," Zhang Xinlan said, her beautiful face turning serious as the topic switched to work.

The entertainment industry was a complex mixture of dragons and snakes. Stars like Liu Shihua, glamorous in public and earning sky-high endorsements, had their own untold hardships.

"Hmm," Liu Shihua hummed in acknowledgment.

"I heard this Crown Prince has a murder case on his hands, and he has forcefully taken advantage of some famous actresses using strong-arm tactics. Yet, since his father is a domestic real estate tycoon, he's remained above the law."

Zhang Xinlan said. She was worried that the Crown Prince might make a move against Liu Shihua, and even though she had some connections from years of hard work, a powerful dragon wouldn't repress the local snakes.

Therefore, both Liu Shihua and Zhang Xinlan wanted to find several highly skilled bodyguards, but had been unable to fulfill this wish.

"Mhm," Liu Shihua agreed once more.

"We didn't make too much of a fuss coming to Longcheng to attend the Tianda opening performance, and I didn't expect to still catch the attention of this Crown Prince. I just hope nothing happens tonight."

Zhang Xinlan's words were steeped in deep concern. The Crown Prince of Longcheng was notorious in the circle, and even top female stars who came to Longcheng had suffered at the hands of the Crown Prince.

"Ah! What are you doing!"

Zhang Xinlan was seriously explaining things, but Liu Shihua was feeling playful and kept tickling her.

"Xinlan, your figure is so great, can you even walk without losing your balance?" Liu Shihua asked innocently.

Zhang Xinlan almost spit out a mouthful of blood but ended up swallowing it back down with effort.

"Xinlan, you're so beautiful, whoever marries you would really have the fortune of eight lifetimes!"

...

In Longcheng, skyscrapers towered everywhere, bustling and prosperous; it was a well-known large city within the country.

It was now the rush hour at the end of the workday, a peak period of human traffic.

A muscular young man dressed in shabby camouflage clothing, carrying a plastic fertilizer bag full of bedding, walked on the crowded streets.

However, compared to the people around him, this young man seemed out of place because he looked very rustic, a full country bumpkin.

Even some young girls quietly took out their phones to sneak photos, posting on Weibo and in their friends' circles, as such a rustic-looking person was truly rare to see.

Ye Chen walked on the street filled with people, carrying a huge plastic bag, aware that the gazes from people around him were filled with strangeness.

But for all this, Ye Chen didn't care; his sole purpose for coming to Longcheng was to earn money!

This job was introduced to him by Ms. Zhang from the head of the village; the salary seemed quite good, and Ms. Zhang said once he had earned the money and returned home at the end of the year, she would find him a nice girl to marry.

Ye Chen, being in the countryside, was already considered an older youth. Back there, men of his age were already married and their kids could even fetch soy sauce!

When he was discharged, the army did give Ye Chen some severance pay, but who would complain about having too much money? Ye Chen wanted to earn more, to return home and marry a beautiful wife!

Ye Chen had his own story; he used to be a commando in a special combat unit, and even within that unit, he was quite exceptional.

Moreover, Ye Chen was proficient in medicine, once famous as the Divine Doctor in the military region, and had been designated as the Chief Imperial Physician by some of the senior military leaders!

Yet, even though his past was brilliant, he had eventually retired, putting an end to his military career.

With Ye Chen's abilities, making money would have been a piece of cake, but when he retired, the old leaders seriously told him to be down-to-earth and not to solve problems with violence recklessly.

Therefore, Ye Chen came to Longcheng to work as a bodyguard because apart from fighting, he practically didn't know how to do anything else!

Earn big money in the city and then return home to marry a beauty like a flower blooming—that was Ye Chen's ultimate dream.

Speaking of which, it was the height of summer; even a gentle breeze didn't bring relief, but instead made the heat even more unbearable.

Ye Chen had exceptional physical condition; even in the scorching heat of a blazing day, he hardly sweated.

However, the streets were full of beautiful women dressed in cool outfits, which made Ye Chen swallow his saliva hard, his country bumpkin nature becoming even stronger.

The city girls were too beautiful, each one seeming like a fairy descending to earth, unlike any beauty from his home village.

Moreover, not only were these girls beautiful, but they also emitted a sweet fragrance that made Ye Chen want to pounce on them and take a few bites.

Ye Chen carried the plastic bag, eyed the lovely girls on the street, and decided in his heart. He would fully show off his personal charm, mesmerize legions of beautiful young women, and find a city wife to bring back home!

"Help!"

Just as Ye Chen was lost in his wild thoughts, a rush of anxiety in the moving crowd on the pedestrian path suddenly cried out for help.
