Chapter 78: The Incompetent Bodyguard
Su Chen originally intended to be humble, but in the eyes of the other boys, he just seemed like he was showing off.
Of course, what was most important was that all the girls' attention was drawn solely to Su Chen, making the others feel like they had no presence at all.
"Just a bodyguard, right? Just someone who takes hits for others, what's so great about that?" A boy said disapprovingly.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are known by the company they keep." Generally, those who gather together aren't much different in status.
These male students also came from prominent backgrounds.
All of them sons of business owners.
Of course, they can't compare to the Empress Dowager.
However, compared to a bodyguard, they still felt a sense of superiority.
They have bodyguards too, those bodyguards.
Calling them bodyguards, in fact, they are just ex-soldiers who served a few years and were then discharged.
Not highly educated and not really that capable of fighting, at most they take punches for their masters or cover for their masters in trouble.
So, knowing that Su Chen was just a bodyguard, they suddenly felt superior.
As for why Su Chen could walk out alive from the Empress Dowager's private room, it was probably because the Empress Dowager was in a good mood today and let him off the hook.
"A bodyguard should know their place, go stand outside. Is this the place for you?" Another boy chimed in.
"Wang Wei, even if he's a bodyguard, you shouldn't talk to people like that! Doesn't your family have bodyguards too?" Li Qianqian said with a slight frown, feeling that Wang Wei's remarks were a bit too much.
"Of course my family has bodyguards, and not just a few, but they know what they should do." The student named Wang Wei snorted and disdainfully glanced at Su Chen.
"That's right, the bodyguards at my house are not even as capable as me! They are all useless, I don't even need their protection, but for the sake of appearances, a few are still necessary," Zhou Jian also said with a chuckle.
He himself was a Taekwondo black belt master. Ordinary ex-soldiers were indeed no match for him.
One by one, they belittled the profession of bodyguards to nothing.
Only Xie Xiaoyu did not speak.
Because she was the one with the lowest status here, if it wasn't for her somewhat good relationship with Lin Shuang'er, she wouldn't even qualify to sit in this private room.
So, she really had no right to speak.
And Lin Shuang'er, after glancing over a few times, deliberately did not intervene, a sly expression appearing in her eyes.
She also wanted to see just how extraordinary her brother-in-law really was.
Faced with everyone's disdain, Su Chen just smiled slightly.
Naturally, he wouldn't bother to argue with a few kids.
Bodyguard, he hadn't always been one. In the past, the Reverse Dragon Group took on many bodyguard assignments.
However, the assignments that the Reverse Dragon Group accepted were of the highest level, where even the employers had to treat them like gods.
Because those people knew their lives were in the hands of the bodyguards.
However, speaking of it, the bodyguard industry in Huaxia is indeed like that now, a low-end industry.
Underappreciated and not something one would boast about being.
Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, just sipping his beer lightly, the young bunch lost the interest to continue taunting him. Thе mоst up-tо-dаtе vеrsiоn is оn М(VLЕМРY)R.
They each went their own way.
"Xueqi, what's wrong with you?" At this time, a quite demure girl walked into the private room, her head lowered, her hand covering her cheek, and her mood very low.
The girl was named Zhang Xueqi, who, like Lin Shuang'er, was also one of the beauties of Jiang University.
However, she was relatively reserved. Because she was harassed in school and was then heroically rescued by Lin Shuang'er, she became friends with Lin Shuang'er.
"There's, there's nothing…" Zhang Xueqi gritted her teeth and remained silent, her eyes filled with aggrieved tears, but she forcibly held them back from falling.
"Xueqi, did someone hit you?" A boy named Wang Wei suddenly pulled away the hand that Zhang Xueqi held over her face, immediately revealing five clear handprints.
Zhang Xueqi and Lin Shuang'er were both school beauties, but Zhang Xueqi's family circumstances were much worse than Lin Shuang'er's, so for these privileged young men, she was obviously an easier target.
Seeing that Zhang Xueqi was hit, they were all suddenly enraged.
This was a golden opportunity.
It was time to demonstrate their manly dignity and show off their power.
If they could help Zhang Xueqi regain her pride, perhaps they could win the heart of the beauty.
"Xueqi, tell me, who hit you? I'll flay his skin right now!"
"That's right, how dare someone hit our Xueqi, he's really courting death!"
"..."
Several boys were filled with righteous indignation.
The fear they had upon knowing they had upset someone as formidable as Empress Dowager Guo had evaporated.
After all, as long as they didn't mess with an existence like Empress Dowager Guo, they could do whatever they wanted.
"No, it's not necessary, I'm okay…" Zhang Xueqi was not really a big shot, it was just her good looks that had so many people adoring her like stars.
But deep down, she felt inferior, unwilling to cause trouble or to be a burden to others.
"This is not okay, look at this little face, it's all swollen…" One of the girls said with much sympathy.
"Xueqi, leave it to me today, all you need to do is tell who he is. Brother Wei is laying his words here, if he doesn't kneel down in front of you and beg for mercy today, I will make sure he can't walk out of this KTV!" Wang Wei said spiritedly.
"That's right, Brother Jian practices Taekwondo and is a black belt, he will definitely help you get your face back!"
The two boys were eager to act, both wanting to show off in front of the school beauty Zhang.
To their actions, Su Chen just laughed. If you're going to go, just go. Why brag about it here?
In reality, Wang Wei and Zhou Jian were mostly talk, and when it really came down to it, they were somewhat cowardly; after all, among the young masters they were not really influential. If they truly offended some big shot, they wouldn't even know where to go to cry.
"Yo, who is so bold, wanting to make me kneel and beg for mercy?" Just at that moment, the private room's door was pushed open and six or seven burly and fierce-looking men entered, led by a fat man who scanned the room with a mocking gaze.
"Brother Fang, I told you the girl was in this private room!" A sleazy-looking man with a pointy chin and monkey cheeks behind the fat man chuckled.
Seeing who the newcomers were, Wang Wei and Zhou Jian immediately turned cowardly.
It was Chen Fang!
Compared to Empress Dowager Guo, Chen Fang was nothing, but he was still far more formidable than them.
Chen Fang's gaze landed on the two who had just spoken, then walked over to Wang Wei, patted his face with his palm and asked, "Was it you?"
"How, how could it be me, Brother Fang, you heard wrong, I didn't say a word..." Wang Wei's forehead sweated.
"Was it you then?" Chen Fang walked over to Zhou Jian, again patting his face with his palm, and mockingly asked.
"I, I didn't…" Zhou Jian swallowed.
Chen Fang's face showed a very satisfied smile, then said, "Well, I'll take the girl away, you guys don't mind, right?"
