Chapter 50: Is He Really a Security Guard?

From three different directions, three women shouted, "Stop!", "Hold on!", and "Wait a minute!"

Their voices carried different tones; Ye Ziqiu sounded anxious.

The woman who called out, "Hold on," held a wine glass, sitting elegantly in a chair as she chatted with several bigshots from the internet industry.

The one who shouted, "Wait a minute," was a woman named Wan’Er, standing beside Jiangnan, the Chairman of Sanjiang Group’s board of directors. She was the very same woman Jiangnan had abandoned everyone else to jog over and welcome just moments ago! As for her background and identity, very few people knew a thing!

However, someone had already recognized the elegant woman chatting with the internet tycoons. Her name was Chen Taohua! Indeed, it was a very rustic, village-girl name. But this Chen Taohua was not to be trifled with. Rumor had it that she had connections in both the legitimate business world and the criminal underworld. She held two official titles: the managing partner of a law firm, and the CEO of Longfu Industrial. She was only the CEO, not the true big boss, while Longfu Industrial’s legal representative was merely a distant cousin of hers. Thus, to this day, the true owner of Longfu remained a mystery to most.

Chen Taohua boasted two major achievements. The first was taking on a nationally renowned lawsuit and actually winning it. Her second achievement was a rumored business deal with Fusang Country, where she supposedly scammed the Fusang People so ruthlessly that the matter escalated to an international court, though it remained unresolved. As for how she scammed them or what she took, few knew the details. But converted into RMB, it amounted to roughly 7.7 billion RMB!

Because of this, everyone in the upper echelons knew of her! It was well-known that many domestic companies had been scammed by foreigners; in fact, ninety-nine point nine percent of multinational companies had fallen victim to such schemes. But Longfu Industrial was the sole exception—they exclusively scammed foreigners. This made her an extraordinary woman! But what did she mean by shouting out just now?

Meanwhile, Ye Ziqiu stepped directly in front of Lin Jian. In that moment, she was like a mother hen protecting her chick, completely shielding him behind her!

Seeing Ye Ziqiu’s protective stance, Lin Jian felt a sudden, inexplicable surge of being slightly touched. He thought, "This woman isn’t half bad. I didn’t misjudge her!"

"Young Master Yang, this might be a misunderstanding. I brought Lin Jian in," Ye Ziqiu said, her voice cold. She thought, "Yang Xuanguang clearly knows I brought Lin Jian in, yet he’s still trying to pick a fight. This man is too petty and utterly sinister!"

Seeing Ye Ziqiu so fiercely defending the little security guard in front of her, Yang Xuanguang said in disbelief, "Ziqiu, do you know who he is? He’s just a security guard. Don’t be fooled by him!"

Yang Xuanguang was growing anxious as well. He wondered what was going on. With all his wealth and status, why wouldn’t she befriend him, instead opting for a security guard? Was this woman out of her mind?

At this moment, Lin Jian suddenly retorted angrily, "What’s wrong with being a security guard? Did a security guard dig up your ancestral graves or throw your child down a well?"

"Oh no!" Hearing Lin Jian’s words, Ye Ziqiu’s expression changed drastically.

After all, He Yuehua was still present! Even though she hadn’t come over, she was paying close attention to this side of the room. Therefore, Lin Jian’s words would undoubtedly send He Yuehua into a fit of rage! With her Iron Lady-like personality, how could He Yuehua possibly allow someone to insult her son like this?

At the same time, the elegant Chen Taohua also had a change in expression. She thought, "This little security guard really doesn’t know how to speak properly, does he?"

Even Wan’Er, standing next to Jiangnan, secretly stuck her tongue out. She thought, "This little security guard has a really sharp tongue."

Sure enough, a shout suddenly rang out from a distance, "Outrageous!"

He Yuehua had made her move!

Someone claiming to dig up their ancestral graves and throw their child down a well—even as a mere metaphor—was a blatant insult to the He Family and the Yang Family! The petite He Yuehua walked over in her high heels, flanked by three noble ladies.

"Young people need to watch their mouths!" She stared coldly at Lin Jian and said, "No matter who brought you in, you assaulted someone here and pose a physical threat to others. Ziqiu, please have him register with the security staff. Of course, you are welcome to go with him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Ziqiu’s expression shifted once more. He Yuehua was issuing a thinly veiled warning: if she spoke up again, she would be sent out to register alongside this little security guard! Registering was just an excuse; kicking them out was the true intention! Ms. He Yuehua was just that domineering!

For a moment, Ye Ziqiu didn’t know what to do. She thought, "Ms. He is usually quite reasonable. Why is she so terrifying today?" Her attendance at this banquet wasn’t simply a matter of being invited. She represented the overseas Ye Family and the face of the Ye Clan. If she were genuinely kicked out of an event like this, the Ye Family would likely go crazy, and it would negatively impact the Ye Family’s investments in China. Furthermore, it would jeopardize her standing on the Continent, and the family would very likely replace her. As a result, Ye Ziqiu’s face turned pale and uncertain.

However, just at that moment, Wan’Er, who was beside Jiangnan, walked over. She bowed slightly to He Yuehua and said, "Hello, Ms. He. Please don’t be angry, okay? Lin Jian was just provoked, which is why he resorted to hitting someone. Lin Jian, why aren’t you apologizing to Ms. He?"

Lin Jian was a bit confused. Who was this woman? He had heard her speak up for him earlier. And now she was actively playing the peacemaker? Ye Ziqiu was also full of confusion.

"Haha, I was wondering who it was, but it’s Lin Jian! The old man has been nagging the past few days about inviting you to our home for dinner. What a coincidence to catch you here today. Let’s set a time later!" Jiangnan, the Chairman of Sanjiang Group’s board of directors, also stepped forward.

As he said this, he turned to He Yuehua with an apologetic smile. "Chairman He, Lin Jian is still young and ignorant. The kid is a bit reckless. May I apologize to you on his behalf?"

He Yuehua was stunned!

Everyone was stunned!

First, Fuxing’s CEO Ye Ziqiu had stepped forward to defend this little security guard. Then, a slender young woman of unknown identity—someone even Jiangnan had to curry favor with—backed him up. And now, the Chairman of Sanjiang Group was personally apologizing on his behalf! They all wondered, "Is this kid really just a security guard?"

In that moment, Lin Jian felt as if he wasn’t a security guard at all, but rather the crown prince of some prominent family. It all felt incredibly surreal!

He Yuehua quickly regained her composure. She first gave Jiangnan a polite smile before taking Wan’s hand and saying, "Wan, when did you get here? How am I only seeing you now? You didn’t even come to see me when you arrived. All you know is how to hide from me!"

"Not at all, I just got here myself. Ms. He, Lin Jian is my little cousin. Please don’t be angry with him, alright?" Wan’Er smiled faintly.

"Look at you, you should have said so earlier! If I had known he was your cousin, how could such a huge misunderstanding have happened?" He Yuehua patted the back of Wan’Er’s hand, then turned to Lin Jian with an apologetic look. "Young Master Lin, Ziqiu, look at what a mess this turned out to be..."

"Ms. He, please don’t say that. It’s Lin Jian and I who..."

"Alright, alright," He Yuehua smiled. "Don’t I know you by now? You brought Young Master Lin along today—do you really think I can’t guess what’s on your mind?"

Ye Ziqiu’s face flushed bright red!

With just a few sentences, He Yuehua smoothly smoothed things over. She then smiled and addressed the crowd, "It was all a misunderstanding! The charity gala is about to begin. Please wait a moment, and then take your seats!"

At that moment, a large number of staff members appeared and began setting up chairs, each bearing a name tag! The storm—or rather, the whole blunder—came to an end amid everyone’s bewildered expressions.

Meanwhile, Ye Ziqiu, Jiangnan, and Wan’Er walked over to a corner.

Wan’Er took the initiative to extend her hand. "Hello, Mr. Lin Jian. My name is Dongfang Wan. Thank you for saving my two children at the Green City sales office the other day!"

"Ah, I remember now! You’re the mother of the twins!" Lin Jian suddenly had a moment of realization!

He had felt she looked somewhat familiar, like he had seen her somewhere before, but he genuinely couldn’t recall! After all, they had only met once and hadn’t even spoken, so it was no different from a fleeting glance! Even though he didn’t recognize her, she certainly recognized him. If it hadn’t been for him, her two children would have been gone! Therefore, he was their savior who had rescued two lives!
