Seeing the mess in the bedroom and Ye Ziqiu’s condition on the bed, Jiang Xue flew into an absolute rage.
She assumed that the wretched little security guard downstairs had defiled her best friend, Ye Ziqiu.
Screaming, she ordered her four bodyguards to break his limbs, swearing she would castrate him herself.
The four bodyguards loyally executed Jiang Xue’s command.
Almost as soon as her voice faded, one of the bodyguards lunged forward and swung a massive slap at him.
In their eyes, there was no need for all four of them to attack at once.
He was just a gatekeeping security guard.
A guy like that?
One of them could take on ten.
Therefore, the attacker simply slapped at him, not even bothering to adopt a defensive stance.
Lin Jian’s face turned green.
He knew there would be a misunderstanding and had originally intended to explain, but who could have guessed that Jiang Xue would bring four bodyguards?
Who exactly was this little beauty from Jiangnan?
Traveling with four bodyguards—wasn’t that a bit too ostentatious?
Naturally, he had no time to overthink it.
The four men were tall and solidly built, and the bodyguard’s swinging hand actually carried a whistling gust of wind.
Lin Jian quickly ducked his head and sidestepped.
In a flash, he lunged forward and delivered a vicious knifehand strike to the base of his attacker’s neck!
THUD!
With just one move, the robust bodyguard instantly crashed to the ground, out cold.
A strike to the base of the neck could cause sudden fainting and a temporary loss of consciousness.
Lin Jian was never one to take a beating without fighting back.
He also knew that a peaceful resolution would only be possible if he took down all four bodyguards first.
Thus, the moment the first man fell, he bounced up, locking his arm around the second bodyguard’s neck while launching a swift kick at the third one’s temple.
BAM!
The third bodyguard, who had just been preparing to attack, took the swift kick and crumpled to the floor.
Meanwhile, the second bodyguard, caught in a chokehold, struggled to shove him away.
But Lin Jian moved like a monkey.
Twisting his body downward with incredible speed, he dragged the second man to the ground and struck him squarely in the temple with his fist.
The fourth bodyguard was completely dumbfounded.
From his initial counterattack to dispatching three men, Lin Jian’s actions flowed in one smooth, continuous breath, completed in the blink of an eye.
His movements were fluid and decisive, without the slightest wasted effort.
There was almost an artistic quality to it.
It felt like a movie.
The fourth bodyguard had never seen such a martial arts expert in his entire life.
Suddenly, he turned and sprinted toward the stairs.
His priority wasn’t to fight back, but to protect his employer.
Unfortunately, Lin Jian wouldn’t give him the chance.
Though he hadn’t stood up yet, a black telescopic baton suddenly whipped out of his hand!
It was the very baton he had snatched from the waist of the second bodyguard. This story is hosted at g.com.
SMASH!
Just as the fourth bodyguard reached the staircase, the baton cracked against the back of his head!
Lin Jian’s eyes lit up.
He marveled at how accurate throwing objects with Thought was; the force was absolutely perfect.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Jiang Xue was utterly stunned.
She had seen everything clearly from upstairs.
It was fair to say she caught every single movement the security guard made.
And then…
her very own Four Great Vajras had been wiped out by this lowly guard in under ten seconds!
His moves were far too explosive.
For a fleeting second, she even wondered if he had been hooked up to stunt wires.
Standing up, Lin Jian pleaded, “Ms.
Jiang Xue, calm down!
Please calm down and listen to me!
If I had done something bad, would I still answer your call?
Would I still wait here for you to bring people over?
“If I were up to no good, I would have run away ages ago.
Would I still be here talking to you?
“I’m a security guard at Rejuvenation.
Someone drugged President Ye, and I saw it happen.
I snatched her away from that pretty boy, Su Zhida.
“After bringing President Ye back, I didn’t dare stay on the second floor and came straight downstairs.
I have no idea how she’s doing up there.
I only heard her crying out that she was hot and thirsty, but I didn’t dare go in!”
He knew he had to lie right now.
Otherwise, Ye Ziqiu would be too humiliated to ever show her face again once she woke up.
“You…
you really haven’t been inside?” Jiang Xue asked, filled with doubt.
“I wanted to go in and check on her, but President Ye had been drugged.
If there was a misunderstanding, I wouldn’t be able to clear my name even if my life depended on it.”
“Then what about the jade necklace hanging around her neck when you helped take her clothes off?” Jiang Xue suddenly asked with an odd expression.
“I didn’t help take her clothes off, and I didn’t see any necklace!
President Ye took her clothes off?” Lin Jian feigned shock.
Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been bluffing him.
It seemed the guard truly hadn’t gone inside.
However, she quickly remembered hearing Ziqiu’s cries during their phone call earlier.
How could he explain that?
“When I called you earlier, where were you when you answered?” she asked calmly, hiding her suspicions.
“I was right by the door.
Her bag was left right outside the bedroom.” Lin Jian pointed to the handbag lying in the hallway.
Jiang Xue nodded, easing her tension. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
The bag was indeed lying just outside the room.
“You said earlier that Su Zhida was the one who drugged Ziqiu?” she asked, raising her eyebrows.
“Absolutely true.
I was working security in the parking lot when I heard him plotting with a guy named Su Zhiwei to drug President Ye.
They even booked a room at the Rejuvenation Hotel.
Su Zhida was in charge of slipping the drug, and they even installed hidden cameras in the room.”
“That bastard!” Jiang Xue ground her teeth in fury.
At that moment, Ye Ziqiu called out for water again from inside the room.
“Don’t worry, Ziqiu, I’ll get you some water…” She hurriedly looked for a cup.
Lin Jian finally let out a long exhale.
That had been way too close.
Jiang Xue was no longer concerned with the situation downstairs.
She focused entirely on feeding water to Ye Ziqiu upstairs, almost on the verge of tears from anxiety.
Just what kind of drug was this?
Why was it affecting her like this?
She was even peeing the bed, couldn’t be woken up no matter how much she was called, and was babbling nonsense in an unconscious state.
This was just…
If a pervert really had taken advantage of her, Ziqiu’s life would have been ruined.
Meanwhile, Lin Jian pulled out his phone and searched for ways to treat someone who had been drugged.
He quickly found a few guides and shouted upstairs, “Ms.
Jiang Xue, I just checked on Baidu.
Right now, President Ye needs to drink plenty of water to boost her metabolism and flush the drug out of her system.
After a good sleep, she should be fine.”
“Then help me…” Jiang Xue paused, realizing it was inappropriate.
Ye Ziqiu was in such an unpresentable state upstairs that a man simply couldn’t be allowed in.
“Then help me bring a basin of water to the door, but you are not allowed to come in.
Also, those four won’t have any serious issues, will they?” she muttered in frustration.
“Four worthless pieces of trash.
They couldn’t even beat a single security guard.”
“They’ll be fine.
I held back.
They should all wake up within fifteen minutes.”
Lin Jian fetched a basin of water and placed it outside the second-floor bedroom.
Jiang Xue stepped out, picked up the basin, and glared at him.
“Don’t you dare leave.
If you do, I’m calling the cops.”
“I…” Lin Jian was left speechless.
He wondered what this had to do with him and why she was keeping him hostage here.
“And when those four wake up, tell them to stand guard outside the door.
They’re not allowed in.
Useless trash!” Jiang Xue cursed in anger once more.
She was still a little worried that the security guard might harbor malicious intentions, which was the only reason she ordered the four bodyguards to stay.
Knowing her temper, she would have normally fired them on the spot.
But even so, they were definitely getting fired tomorrow.
Calling such worthless bums the Four Great Vajras?
“Four Spineless Wimps” was more like it.
