Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

"How are you going to take responsibility?" Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but chuckle, seeing Ye Chen's remark as a revelation of his true nature. "This is a society governed by law, and anyone who breaks it has to be punished. Don't think that just because you are strong, you can do whatever you want! There's a saying: no matter how good your kung fu is, a gun can take you down!"

We're in the technological era, so no matter how strong a person is, they can't be invincible. A bullet to the head would guarantee even a reborn immortal meets their end.

So in Zhang Xinlan's eyes, Ye Chen's violence could only target common people, as his head couldn't withstand a bullet after all.

Zhang Xinlan never expected that after more than ten years, the young kid from back then had turned into a violent maniac, which greatly disappointed her.

Ye Chen opened his mouth but said nothing. He understood what Zhang Xinlan meant, but despite being misunderstood by his goddess, Ye Chen wasn't angry—after all, who could get mad at a goddess?

"Leave it to me, rest assured!" Ye Chen reiterated earnestly.

"You just came from the countryside. If the police catch you, you'll definitely spend your life in jail. I can't let that happen to you!" Zhang Xinlan was getting angry, clearly trying to do good, yet this fool wasn't grateful.

"Oh! Sister Zhang, what should we do then?" Liu Shihua chimed in, having quite a bit of trust in Ye Chen. It must be said that Ye Chen's dowdy charm had successfully conquered this superstar. "How about when they wake up, you try to calm them down?"

"Shihua, what are you talking about!" Zhang Xinlan panicked.

What Liu Shihua suggested as "calming them down" was nothing less than using her charm, something akin to feeding herself to the wolves to solve the issue. But Zhang Xinlan, resolute in her character, would definitely not handle it that way.

"Since you refuse to do it, let's let him give it a shot. This guy has quite the knack, and you need to learn to trust people!"

Liu Shihua was trying to soothe Zhang Xinlan's nerves. Ye Chen's display of violence by charging into dangerous places and rescuing Zhang Xinlan had instilled in Liu Shihua a strange confidence.

Besides, Liu Shihua had been silently observing Ye Chen and found that he wasn't just about using brute force. He was actually quite cold and astute.

"Leave it to me!"

Ye Chen dropped these words and walked towards the elevator, picking up the seemingly unconscious He Xiangdong and dragging him back to the VIP room.

"Don't hit me! Spare my life, hero!"

Seconds later, the room filled with the collective screams of He Xiangdong and others.

"Sister Zhang, what's the deal with this Ye Chen? You have no idea how handsome he looked while fighting!"

Liu Shihua and Zhang Xinlan didn't dare to enter the room again, afraid of being traumatized by Ye Chen's violent tactics. Instead, they spoke in hushed tones outside.

"I haven't been back for many years. When my aunt called me, I just casually mentioned that I needed a bodyguard, and she recommended Ye Chen. This kid is five or six years younger than me. When we were kids, I used to hold him and play with him!" Zhang Xinlan explained, recalling a time when she was just a teenager and Ye Chen was simply a little boy.

"You were only five or six years older than him and you played with him like that?" Liu Shihua was incredulous. That definitely didn't sound plausible.

"Well, he was just a naughty kid back then, insisting on being held, so I held him for a while," Zhang Xinlan suddenly blushed.

"There's definitely a scandalous secret between you two!" Liu Shihua suddenly perked up, finding Zhang Xinlan's demeanor far too unnatural.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just a kid back then!" Zhang Xinlan rolled her eyes.

But then, thinking of something, her face turned red again.

"Sister Zhang, what's going on? Tell me!" Liu Shihua's curiosity was piqued by Zhang Xinlan's reactions.

"When we were kids, Ye Chen touched my chest." It was difficult for Zhang Xinlan to say it, but suddenly, she blurted it out.

Zhang Xinlan's figure was perfect, yet as a child, she hadn't developed well—until Ye Chen gave a few pats that seemed to stimulate growth, triggering a sudden spurt.

So, Ye Chen left a deep impression on Zhang Xinlan, being the first and only person ever to have touched her there.

"What? That's it?" Liu Shihua's face immediately fell, showing her obvious disappointment.

Zhang Xinlan's face darkened—was that not shocking enough? Liu Shihua was digressing into increasingly grotesque tastes.

"So, this guy was your first love?" Liu Shihua spoke without thinking, whatever came to her mind was promptly uttered.

"You might as well drop dead!" Zhang Xinlan felt out of touch, unable to fathom the mindset of the younger generation.

"Haha! Did I guess right?" Liu Shihua laughed, her expression saying it all.

"You might as well get lost back to Mars!" Zhang Xinlan snapped, hardly acknowledging that she and Liu Shihua were from the same planet.

...

"Ah! It hurts so much, hero, please go easy on me!"

Once again, the room echoed with the agonizing screams of a man, sounding like a ghost wailing and crying out to the heavens.

"Zhang Xinlan, do you think he can really handle it?" Liu Shihua felt a chill listening to the ghostly screams from the room, recalling Ye Chen's violent and bloody methods, afraid that someone might actually die.

"Didn't you have a lot of confidence in him just now?" Zhang Xinlan smiled, surprisingly unconcerned now.

"Just like you said, he just came from the countryside. He Xiangdong is the overlord of Longcheng. It's not easy for a country bumpkin to overthrow a rich and handsome man!"

Liu Shihua felt a bit despondent, as this whole situation had started because of them. Ye Chen had rescued them but now had to bear the responsibility, making the famous star feel extremely embarrassed.

"What happened here, ladies?"

Just then, a dozen security guards arrived tumultuously in the corridor. They were armed with stun batons and some held riot gear, clearly with bad intentions.

Zhang Xinlan was somewhat flustered; she knew precisely what had happened here, but how could she abandon Ye Chen and push all the blame onto him?

The entire place had been turned into a mess by the violent Ye Chen, with blood everywhere and seven or eight bodyguards lying scattered across the corridor. One might think a terrorist attack had happened here. This security squad had come precisely because of this.

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Liu Shihua. We're filming a movie here. Move aside quickly, and don't obstruct our work!" Liu Shihua shouted at a security guard, her demeanor perfectly poised, almost believable. Indeed, Liu Shihua's acting was commendable.

"Miss Liu Shihua, I suspect a violent criminal has entered the hotel. Please ensure your own safety!"

A middle-aged man in a black suit approached. He had a strikingly shiny bald head. This man was Chen Tian, the security manager of the Emperor Hotel, though his expression was extremely grim now.

Chen Tian had seen Ye Chen's violent act on the surveillance cameras, but what truly terrified him was seeing He Xiangdong's head smashed by a bottle by Ye Chen. Now, the criminal had dragged the unconscious Mr. He into the room, leaving the security manager absolutely petrified.

Rushing to gather a dozen men, the security manager hurried over, praying that Mr. He wouldn't suffer any mishaps.

He Xiangdong was a prominent figure in Longcheng, virtually untouchable, and known amongst his circles as the Crown Prince of Longcheng.

If such a significant figure were to be killed in the Emperor Hotel, Chen Tian as the security manager might lose more than his job. He would likely face the wrath of the He family, and even his life might be at risk.

"What are you standing around for? Haven't you seen a celebrity before? Hurry up and get in there to save them!" Chen Tian bellowed, his bald head seeming to shine even brighter with his anger.

It turned out that these security guards, seeing the real Liu Shihua and the stunningly beautiful Zhang Xinlan, had all slipped into a state of infatuation and probably forgot even their own names, let alone anything else.

At Chen Tian's roar, the security guards wiped their drool and, following their leader's command, swiftly got into action.

In order to make a living these days, one still had to be obedient like a dog.

"Hey! You can't go in!" Zhang Xinlan panicked. If so many people went in and saw Ye Chen assaulting He Xiangdong and the others, the situation would be irreparable.

"Yes, our crew is working inside. By entering, you're causing a disturbance!" Liu Shihua also stopped people while lying, trying to buy time for Ye Chen.

Liu Shihua and Zhang Xinlan desperately tried to hold off the security team, managing to stall the dozen guards, which nearly drove Chen Tian to madness. He couldn't believe that these two women had fooled a group of grown men, making them look utterly foolish!

"Get lost, just a female celebrity. Isn't that just another word for a prostitute? I may be a security guard, but I've had my share of female celebrities, all cheaper than the last. What filming crew, what movie? It's just a way to make some extra cash!" Chen Tian cursed at Liu Shihua unchecked.

Liu Shihua was beyond Chen Tian's reach, but in his position as a security manager overseeing over a hundred people, he still had access to some third-tier female celebrities.

In fact, some of these minor actresses were exactly as Chen Tian described.

"You!" Liu Shihua was immediately enraged by his words, having made her fame through her own efforts without resorting to such filthy tactics.

"Shihua, don't argue with him, he's lost his mind!" Zhang Xinlan pulled Liu Shihua back, noticing Chen Tian's unstable state.

Indeed, as Zhang Xinlan said, Chen Tian had lost his sanity.

For him, cursing was the least of it. Right now, Chen Tian even felt like killing someone. The intermittent screams still coming from the room made him panic—if anything happened to He Xiangdong and his friends under his watch, his life would be ruined!

"Damn it, charge in or I'm docking your pay for a year!" Chen Tian scolded his subordinates, his face twitching uncontrollably, his head shining and lighting the way forward as he led his team, determined to rescue the young masters.

Indeed, the power of money was infinite. Hearing their boss threaten their wages, the security team cared no longer about celebrities, realizing that even the most beautiful woman couldn't be as valuable as money.

A dozen strong, robust security guards barreled forward, unstoppable, with no regard for anything else, entirely overrunning the two weak women.

However, upon witnessing the security guards' charging power, Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua dared not continue to block them and simply let them pass.

"We must follow them, lest a real disaster occurs!" Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua exchanged glances and hurriedly also went into the room. Ye Chen was an extremely violent country bumpkin, an undeniable fact in their eyes, but he had done it all to save them. Even if there were serious faults, they needed to share the responsibility.

Ye Chen was entirely the model of a country bumpkin, having just arrived in Longcheng. Zhang Xinlan's memory of him was already fading, and for Liu Shihua, it was her first encounter with someone so uncultured. But they couldn't give up on this country bumpkin!

However, once they entered the room, they were met with a scene that left them dumbfounded.
