He actually managed to make peeping at someone sound perfectly justified, as though it were the most natural thing in the world...
What did it mean to be shameless?
The man right in front of her was the perfect example!
"Excuse me..."
Chen Qingyao was about to call a flight attendant over to change her seat, but her voice abruptly stopped halfway through her sentence.
A man wearing a baseball cap, with a long scar running down one side of his face, said in a low voice, "Miss Chen, I suggest you don't try anything foolish before we get off this plane."
Upon closer inspection, a pitch-black gun barrel was pressed against Chen Qingyao's back.
"You're from Xingyi Pavilion?"
Chen Qingyao remained remarkably calm and composed in the face of danger.
The man sneered. "I've heard rumors that Miss Chen is exceptionally intelligent. It seems your reputation is well deserved!"
"How much did Lin Zhonghu pay you? I'll give you double!"
Chen Qingyao spoke without the slightest change in expression.
"As much as I love money, unfortunately, I don't have the guts to betray our gang leader. So, Miss Chen, you'd better stop dreaming."
"Hold on. I feel like you two are ignoring me!"
Suddenly, Li Junye spoke up.
The man fixed Li Junye with a vicious glare and threatened coldly, "Young man, I suggest you mind your own business. Otherwise, things won't end well for you!"
"And what if I insist on getting involved?"
At those words, Chen Qingyao and the man both turned to look at Li Junye.
Chen Qingyao's beautiful eyes narrowed. She clearly hadn't expected Li Junye to be so bold. After all, from where he was sitting, he could clearly see the muzzle of the gun in the man's hand!
Was this guy really willing to risk his life just to play the hero and save a beauty?
"Heh, heh..."
The man chuckled disdainfully and warned, "Young man, you'd better not be so hotheaded. Otherwise, you might end up dead without even knowing what hit you."
"If you're not hotheaded, can you even call yourself young?"
The moment Li Junye finished speaking, the man's vision blurred, and the pistol he had been gripping vanished from his hand!
How was that possible?!
The man's face filled with horror, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor.
"That's not how you handle a gun!"
The gun that had been in the man's hand was now in Li Junye's.
"Click! Clack! Rattle..."
Chen Qingyao's eyes widened. In the span of just a few breaths, Li Junye had dismantled the firearm in his hands into a scattered pile of parts.
"Now tell me, what consequences will I face?"
Li Junye stared at the man mockingly.
"Brother, who do you work for? I'm from Xingyi Pavilion!"
Panic appeared on the man's face. He knew he had messed with the wrong person tonight, so he brought up his connections, hoping to intimidate his opponent into backing off.
However...
"Smack!"
Li Junye slapped him across the face and repeated his question. "You still haven't told me what the consequences will be."
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the other passengers.
Several flight attendants hurried over after hearing the disturbance.
"Help! This guy is hitting me!"
Seeing stars, the man pointed at Li Junye and spoke incoherently.
"Thud! Thud!"
Gou Fugui immediately stepped forward and punched the man several times. "Our Young Master is doing you an honor by hitting you, and you fucking dare to whine about it!"
"Ahem... Ptooey!"
Wu Xiangwang spat directly into the man's face. "What the hell is wrong with you? Keep running your mouth, and I'll throw you off this plane."
At that moment, the two of them demonstrated the very definition of being arrogant and overbearing.
The flight attendants, who had initially intended to intervene, all abandoned the idea. As for the other passengers, none dared to utter a word.
"She's lying!"
Just then, Chen Qingyao stood up and declared, "This scoundrel tried to take advantage of me. At the critical moment..."
At this point, she extended her hand toward Li Junye and added, "This gentleman saved me!"
"A hero saving a beauty! Oh, no..."
Li Junye smiled faintly and said with feigned modesty, "Punishing villains and eliminating evil is simply the duty of every man of the Xia Kingdom. There's no need for a beauty like you to take it to heart. Of course, if you insist on thanking me by treating me to dinner and perhaps catching a movie afterward, I certainly wouldn't refuse!"
"Pfft!"
Chen Qingyao couldn't help covering her mouth as she laughed.
Half an hour later, the plane landed smoothly at Xuancheng International Airport.
With Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang following behind him, Li Junye walked out of the airport together with the two of them.
"Click, clack, click, clack."
"Hey, wait for me!"
Chen Qingyao hurried after them in her high heels.
"Young Master, looks like a beautiful woman is going to throw herself into your arms tonight!"
"Our Young Master really is incredible! No matter where he goes, romantic opportunities just fall into his lap!"
Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang looked thoroughly envious.
"Shut up!"
Li Junye turned his head and snapped at them before immediately greeting Chen Qingyao with a smile. "Is there something else you need, beautiful?"
"That bad guy has already been taken away by the Legal Affairs Bureau. Thank you so much!"
Chen Qingyao expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
If Li Junye hadn't stepped in to help her on the plane earlier, she truly couldn't imagine what might have happened!
Li Junye shrugged and said dismissively, "I already told you, it was just a small matter. Don't worry about it!"
Chen Qingyao took a gold-edged card from her bag and handed it to Li Junye. "My name is Chen Qingyao. This is my number. Remember to contact me whenever you're free. I'll treat you to dinner!"
"I have something urgent to take care of right now, so I'll be going!"
With that, she hurriedly climbed into a luxurious business van. Judging by her behavior, she really did seem to have something urgent to attend to.
"Young Master, why'd you let that beauty get away?"
Wu Xiangwang looked thoroughly puzzled.
Gou Fugui shook her head and speculated, "Maybe the Young Master has changed his ways!"
......
The following morning, at Yunyang Group.
Li Junye strolled casually into the building, with Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang following closely behind.
Beautiful women were the center of attention wherever they went, and handsome men were naturally no exception!
"Who's that guy? Is he some celebrity who just made his debut?"
"Oh my God, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. That handsome guy is all I can think about..."
Li Junye was so handsome that his looks were almost bewitching. Combined with his strong, masculine aura, he attracted countless gazes wherever he went.
Most of them came from women!
Upon reaching the reception desk, Li Junye was just about to speak.
"Hey, handsome! Are you guys here to apply for security guard positions?"
The beautiful receptionist asked with a hint of excitement.
Having such a handsome security guard around the company would certainly make coming to work a little more enjoyable.
After all, women weren't the only ones who could serve as eye candy!
Li Junye was dumbfounded.
Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang were both utterly ordinary-looking, so it was understandable that someone might mistake them for security guard applicants...
But what the hell about me looks like a security guard?
"You've misunderstood. I'm here to..."
"Chen Qingxue, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer right now, believe it or not, I'll make you regret it immediately!"
Before Li Junye could finish speaking, an arrogant voice rang out behind him.
When he turned toward the voice, he was stunned once again.
A well-dressed young man with dyed white hair and a somewhat fierce-looking face stood out conspicuously.
However, Li Junye's gaze was fixed on the woman following closely behind the young man.
"Young Master, isn't that the beauty from the plane last night?"
Gou Fugui chuckled.
Li Junye shook his head, immediately rejecting the suggestion.
The woman before him was far too cold and aloof, like an icy mountain that no one could ever hope to scale.
Although she looked practically identical to Chen Qingyao, whom he had met the previous night, and even their figures were remarkably similar, he was certain they weren't the same person.
Could they be twins?
At that thought, Li Junye grew somewhat excited...
