Chapter 61: The Arrogant Security Guard

Ye Ziqiu naturally considered the issue of the Su Family’s revenge, but she couldn’t guess what their retaliation would look like or what form it would take. Therefore, she planned to wait and see, letting the Su Family make the first move.

Naturally, up until now, she hadn’t considered that the Su Family’s revenge might involve murder. After all, this was a society governed by law. Moreover, she was a major investor brought to Jiang City through its investment promotion, controlling a company worth tens of billions. So she guessed that even if the Su Family took revenge on her, it would only be in the business realm. They wouldn’t resort to violence, as the Su Family also had to consider the social repercussions.

However, while the Su Family wouldn’t shout for her head, the same couldn’t necessarily be said for Lin Jian. To make a lowly security guard vanish from the face of the earth without a trace—she believed the Su Family had the power to do so.

So, after Jiang Xue bounded up the stairs chattering away, she knew it was time for a serious talk with Lin Jian. At the very least, he needed to go into hiding for a while.

"Let’s go. We’re heading downstairs." She led Jiang Xue back down the stairs.

Downstairs, Lin Jian’s eyes glazed over when he saw the two beauties—one tall and one petite—descending. Ye Ziqiu was the quintessential tall, sexy, mature beauty with an icy, unapproachable aura. Although Jiang Xue wasn’t tall, her advantage lay in being slender. Her small frame accentuated her exquisite beauty; at a glance, she was the quintessential delicate young woman of Jiangnan.

"Both are absolute stunners..." Lin Jian swept his Thought beneath the two women’s clothes for a moment before hastily pulling it back.

Right as he withdrew his Thought, Ye Ziqiu’s face darkened. Jiang Xue’s mouth dropped open in shock, staring at Lin Jian in utter disbelief.

Noticing the varying expressions on the two beauties’ faces, Lin Jian asked in surprise, "What’s wrong with you two?"

"Hmph."

Ye Ziqiu fumed with anger, while Jiang Xue burst into a fit of uproarious laughter once she registered what happened, even clutching her stomach.

"You... You... Haha, you’re killing me! You have a nosebleed! Hahahahaha..."

This was the first time Jiang Xue had ever seen a man get a nosebleed from looking at beautiful women. She had seen it in movies and on TV before, and heard others talk about it. But those were all fake; she had never witnessed it with her own eyes! Today, she had truly seen it for herself. A man would actually get a nosebleed after seeing beautiful women. How much pent-up heat did this guy have?

Only then did Lin Jian realize that the nosebleed had already reached his lips! He secretly cursed himself for being so useless. Lately, the sun in Jiangnan had been too strong, and it hadn’t rained in days. The weather, combined with his own internal heat, naturally resulted in a nosebleed, right? However, he heard there would be a heavy downpour tonight. The weather forecast had been reporting that this rainstorm would finally bring some coolness to Jiang City.

"COUGH, COUGH! It’s just because the climate is too dry, alright?" Lin Jian retorted, stiffening his neck stubbornly.

"Hehe, who knows if it’s dry or not!" Jiang Xue snickered mischievously.

Lin Jian couldn’t be bothered with her. Instead, he looked at Ye Ziqiu and said, "Old Ye, it’s really caused by the dry climate. I heard it’s going to rain tonight, so I won’t have a nosebleed tomorrow."

"Does it have anything to do with me whether you get a nosebleed or not?" Ye Ziqiu felt silently annoyed by Lin Jian’s uselessness. She had already developed quite a favorable impression of him, but just now, this guy didn’t just peek at her; he had peeked at Jiang Xue too! Therefore, this scoundrel’s nosebleed didn’t warrant any sympathy.

"COUGH, COUGH! Let’s hurry up. We’re going to the flea market this morning, and I still have some things to take care of this afternoon."

"What are we going to the flea market for?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

Lin Jian rolled his eyes at her. "If you don’t want to go, just stay home."

He genuinely didn’t want Jiang Xue to tag along; she would just be a third wheel. After all, a bit of tacit understanding and a subtle connection had already formed between him and Old Ye. So, this was the perfect time for the two of them to be alone. He believed that if they spent a few more days together like this, they might actually spark some genuine chemistry.

"Who said I’m not going? Don’t even think about leaving me behind." Jiang Xue glared at Lin Jian, then linked arms with Ye Ziqiu and walked outside!

Ye Ziqiu’s car was a sports car. Although the backseat could accommodate passengers, it was a bit cramped. Thus, the group of three got into Jiang Xue’s white G-Wagon. Surprisingly, Jiang Xue voluntarily gave up the driver’s seat and sat in the back with Ye Ziqiu.

Lin Jian didn’t decline the offer and was actually quite thrilled. The Mercedes G-Wagon was a vehicle he had always liked—tall, massive, and with a wide field of vision. Today, he finally had the chance to get his hands on the wheel. So, after familiarizing himself with the controls and the vehicle’s condition, he roared in excitement, "Hold on tight, here we go!"

VROOM!

Following his loud shout, the car surged forward.

From the back seat, Jiang Xue sneered, "Country bumpkin. You’ve never touched such a nice car before, have you?"

Lin Jian glanced at her in the rearview mirror. "I’ve never touched a pretty little beauty like you before, either."

PFFT!

Jiang Xue nearly coughed up blood. Pointing at Lin Jian driving in the front, she looked at Ye Ziqiu in utter disbelief. "Ziqiu... him... Are you sure he’s a security guard and not a hooligan?"

Ye Ziqiu’s head throbbed. She scolded in a low voice, "Lin Jian, stop talking nonsense."

"She was the one who called me a country bumpkin first," Lin Jian said indignantly. "I might not have driven such a nice car before, but that doesn’t mean I’m a country bumpkin."

"You might have driven such a nice car, but have you ever flown an airplane? If you haven’t flown a plane, then you’re a country bumpkin too."

Surprisingly, Jiang Xue was quite eccentric. Upon hearing Lin Jian’s words, she nodded in deep agreement. "That actually makes some sense. I haven’t flown an airplane, so I guess I am a country bumpkin."

Lin Jian was left speechless.

Ye Ziqiu’s forehead darkened with exasperation. These two were both absolute pieces of work. However, she remembered her main concern at this moment, so she said, "Lin Jian, why don’t you take a few days off? Go into hiding for a while. Xue’Er is right—the Su Family will retaliate against us. I’ll be fine since they won’t dare do anything to me, but you..."

"Hiding isn’t the solution." Lin Jian smiled. "We’ll counter whatever they throw at us. It’s no big deal. Besides, I can’t hide out there for the rest of my life, right? This matter has to be resolved eventually."

"Then how do you plan to resolve it?" Jiang Xue chimed in.

Lin Jian countered, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Ah? Ahhhhhh! Ye Ziqiu, I’m going to make you fire him! He’s too arrogant! I’m so mad! I’m so mad..."

Jiang Xue was so thoroughly rebuffed that she wished she could bite Lin Jian to death. Moreover, this wasn’t the first time Lin Jian had talked back to her. When they met a few days ago, not only had Lin Jian rebuffed her, but he had also beaten up her Four Great Vajras. Now, he was challenging her at every turn. She was practically going crazy with anger! This was the most arrogant little security guard she had ever encountered in the world.

Ye Ziqiu didn’t answer Jiang Xue, feeling both amused and exasperated inwardly. This was just how Lin Jian was. He had never once considered himself a lowly security guard. He even dared to flirt with her, his big boss, let alone Jiang Xue!

Lin Jian laughed from the front seat. "Ms. Jiang, you aren’t my boss. Why should I answer your questions?"

"I..." Jiang Xue was actually left speechless...

So, she sat to the side, huffing and puffing as she sulked. Naturally, her sulking was real, but it was also true that she was trying to think of a way to teach this little security guard a lesson. She had to figure out a method to subdue this little security guard. Could a mere security guard really flip the world upside down?

About half an hour later, Lin Jian parked the car in front of Imperial Treasure Studio, which was Old Wang’s shop where he had previously come to sell the covered bowl! As it happened, Old Wang was just walking a customer out, only to see Lin Jian park a G-Wagon right in front of his store!

"Aiyo! I was just wondering why the magpies were chattering so happily this morning. So it was because you were coming, Mr. Lin! What kind of treasure have you brought us today?" Old Wang greeted Lin Jian with a beaming smile and a wave.
