Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Solitary Star Fate



Li Weiguo watched Ye Chen anxiously, the old lady absolutely could not have any mishaps, and if anything out of place occurred, he would stop it immediately and without hesitation!

In fact, by allowing Ye Chen to treat the old lady, Li Weiguo had already taken a considerable risk. If the old lady were to experience any accident, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for Li Weiguo to make amends.

Perhaps it was the excessive nervousness, but Li Weiguo thought he saw faint wisps of blue smoke rising from the old lady's head, so insubstantial they were hardly visible—a sight only possible with Li Weiguo's exceptional Insight.

After finishing his cultivation, Ye Chen stood up, drenched in sweat. He had expended True Qi to treat the old lady, and in a few minutes, she would probably awaken.

Actually, the old lady's intracranial hematoma had cleared, and even if he hadn't adjusted it with True Qi, she would have recovered on her own in a few hours.

However, Ye Wushuang was too annoying, even daring to doubt his medical skills! After all, he had delivered Ms. Hua's baby when he was twelve, and his medical experience was extremely rich. Who within ten miles of his hometown didn't know of Divine Doctor Ye's great reputation!

"Five minutes, if the old lady doesn't wake up, I will kowtow until my head breaks open on the ground!"

Ye Chen declared fiercely to Ye Wushuang, determined to uphold his military order. However, when he glanced sharply at her, he realized that Ye Wushuang was indeed a beauty!

Ye Wushuang didn't know what Ye Chen was thinking, but when she heard his boast, promising to awaken the old lady within five minutes, the contempt on her face grew even denser.

Ye Wushuang wanted to mock him with some harsh words, but the look in Ye Chen's eyes when he turned towards her startled her into silence.

For Ye Chen's gaze was intense, as if there was an underlying thought, which made Ye Wushuang dare not speak out.

However, she soon realized that she had overthought it, for Ye Chen was observing the little boy and had no intention to bother with her.

The concentrated look on Ye Chen's face caused Ye Wushuang to grow angry; he was obviously interested in her, yet dared to pretend to ignore her!

"Sir, your efforts are appreciated! Could you check how our young master is doing?" Li Weiguo fawned over Ye Chen, following him closely.

This young master was the boss's favorite jewel, usually coddled and pampered, treated like a little emperor.

If anything untoward happened to this little emperor, Li Weiguo's hefty weight would surely not escape unscathed.

"Do you believe, I can wake him up in one second?"

The sycophancy from Li Weiguo pleased Ye Chen greatly. Moreover, there were too many people present, and his vanity urged him to demonstrate his medical skill.

"I believe!" Li Weiguo responded with utmost certainty, knowing that the answer would come in just one second after he made his stand clear.

Usually, Li Weiguo was a formidable presence, controlling dozens of retired soldiers, a favored henchman of the boss—everyone buttered him up.

Yet, with the old lady and the young master's accidents today, Li Weiguo had brown-nosed Ye Chen quite a bit. If Ye Chen failed to wake the young master, Li Weiguo swore he would cripple this laborer before him.

"Very well, then in the name of God, let him awaken!"

Ye Chen leaned down, gently stroking the boy's head, looking as merciful as if he were a saint. At that moment, he resembled more a charlatan than a healer.

The crowd around them looked on in disdain at this charlatan. They seemed to have foreseen what was going to happen—if the comatose boy did not wake up, the powerful bodyguard would surely beat the charlatan laborer to a pulp!

Eager spectators had already taken out their phones, beginning to post on Weibo and their Moments, ready to uphold justice and expose the true face of the charlatan laborer!

"Wow, mommy!"

However, at the very moment Ye Chen's words fell, the comatose boy awakened. Yet, with so many people surrounding him, the boy grew scared and started to cry loudly.

"Divine!" Li Weiguo exclaimed, astounded.

Ye Chen's means were sheer magic.

Not only Li Weiguo but everyone was stunned.

Especially Ye Wushuang—the high and mighty, wealthy and beautiful woman stood there, her eyes wide and mouth agape, finding it hard to believe the result!

"No good! This, this, this is the Heavenly Destitute Star!"

Seeing the awakened boy, Ye Chen recoiled in alarm, his face taking on the look of someone seeing a ghost.

But when the boy spotted Ye Chen, it was as if he'd discovered a treasure, promptly clinging to his leg.

However, Ye Chen pushed the boy away as if he were avoiding a scourge, unwilling to let the child cling to him.

"Divine sir, what did you say?" Li Weiguo asked, not having caught the words clearly, but his address for Ye Chen had already elevated to that of a deity.

"No, I must get back to cutting grass; the old mother sheep at home is waiting for me to feed her, so I'll be leaving now!" Ye Chen announced his intention to depart.

"Hey! Divine sir, could you take a look at the chronic ailment I have..." Li Weiguo, like a cat in heat, caterwauled after Ye Chen as he quickly strode away.

However, Ye Chen, carrying his plastic bag, pushed through the crowd and dashed off, vanishing without a trace in a blink of an eye.

What an odd character!

"Wuu—Mr. Li, I want my mom, wahhhhh—"

The boy, obviously frightened by the crowd, continued to cry, but it seemed he recognized Li Weiguo and wailed at him.

"Young Master, the boss will be here soon; don't cry, be good~!"

Li Weiguo tried to speak in a calmer tone, but it had to be said that he really wasn't cut out for soothing children. The sight of Li Weiguo's "kind" face only made the boy cry even harder.

"Son, don't cry! Mommy is here!"

Right at that moment, a city beauty dressed in a suit, followed by a large group of people, arrived on the scene. Obviously, she was Li Weiguo's boss.

She was a beautiful young widow, tall and wearing a black suit. Although a woman, she had an imperious air about her that dissuaded any lewd thoughts.

The woman carried an imposing presence, clearly a corporate powerhouse. Upon seeing her crying son with a terrible gash on his smooth forehead, and the still unconscious elderly lady as well as the blood underneath her head, a nameless rage surged within her heart.

"Li Weiguo, disperse the crowd! Mr. Qi, lead the medical team to examine the old lady!"

The woman's red lips slightly parted, her voice was gentle, yet carried an irresistible dominance.

Li Weiguo and Mr. Qi could unmistakably hear the anger in their boss's voice, and immediately started to work frantically. They were usually idle yet paid a generous annual salary. Now that the boss had given an order, they naturally had to put in the effort. This is what is meant by 'taking care of one's own'.

Performing well could perhaps even result in a raise from the boss!

However, Li Weiguo did not dare to contemplate the prospect of a raise. His boss's anger was clearly directed at him. The accident involving the old lady and the young master happened right under his watch, so as the top bodyguard, he worked especially hard.

"What are you looking at? Go away and stay wherever it's cool!"

"Hey, your mother is calling you back home to steal vegetables, scram!"

Li Weiguo yelled at the crowd that had gathered, driving them away with his commanding tone, full of confidence, and not afraid that his arrogance would provoke public outrage.

Originally, Li Weiguo had only three men at hand, but with the arrival of the boss, more than ten black-clad bodyguards joined his ranks.

A dozen strong, burly men in black, following the menacing Li Weiguo, expelled the onlookers. Their intimidating presence alone was enough to make anyone feel faint.

"This, this is the lady BOSS of Yanran International, right?" Ye Wushuang was also expelled but widened her eyes at the sight of the domineering woman because she saw her idol.

"It really seems to be Director Chu!" Yu Zhengqing, seeing the woman's face clearly, was struck by a cold sweat. He had not expected the elderly lady and the boy to be relatives of this empress.

Fortunately, he hadn't caused any trouble. At this thought, Yu Zhengqing couldn't help but thank the earthy construction worker. If it weren't for the divine intervention, his charade of a performance could have led to serious trouble!

"You're so worthless, got outplayed by a bumpkin, don't ever say you know me in the future, it's embarrassing!" Ye Wushuang burst with anger recalling how Yu Zhengqing had been defeated.

"..." Yu Zhengqing felt like dying.

The street was quickly cleared, the once-crowded place now deserted. A group of medical experts was conducting a thorough examination on the elderly lady.

"Ow, what happened to me?"

The elderly lady who had been unconscious suddenly sat up, touching her graying hair and looking around at the busy staff in confusion.

"Mom!"

The beautiful widow, holding her son close, approached the old lady with a look of deep concern.

"Yanran, what are you doing here?"

"Right! Chen Chen, are you okay? You fell with a thud, you scared Grandma to death!"

The boy lying on the ground who had fainted was named Chen Chen. After a moment of confusion, the grandmother recalled the events leading up to her fainting and was still visibly shaken.

"Director Chu, there is a needle hole in the back of the old lady's head, but it has completely healed, and the bloodstain on the ground is indeed the old lady's!"

Then Mr. Qi, who was leading the medical team, reported to Director Chu. His voice was very low, audible only to the lady BOSS, yet there was still an unmistakable shock in his expression.

The shrewd female tycoon was well-known in the business world. When she saw the bloodstain, she knew that a master had intervened while they were en route.

The old lady was out of danger, and her son had only suffered minor external injuries. But Mr. Qi, after completing the examination, had a look of disbelief, which suggested the matter was far from simple.

"Mom, watch Chen Chen for a bit; I need to discuss something with Mr. Qi."

"Alright, go on."

The lady boss handed her son to the elderly lady and pulled Li Weiguo aside, walking over to speak privately with Mr. Qi.

"Li Weiguo, give me an explanation!"

The female boss exuded a formidable presence without even showing anger, and Li Weiguo, despite being an undefeated warrior king, could not withstand her authority.

"Yes, the old lady's condition defies scientific explanation. It seems like she had suffered an acute cerebral hemorrhage, but..."

Mr. Qi, about fifty years old and looking every bit the scholar, hesitated. He glanced at the bloodstain on the ground because what he was about to say was almost too unbelievable for him to accept himself.

"Li Weiguo, you speak!"

The female tycoon gestured for Mr. Qi to stop and extended her jade hand toward Li Weiguo, displaying the confident demeanor of a woman who commands great authority.
