The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 63 - What a Joke
63: Chapter 63: What a Joke
63 -63: What a Joke
“My friend, hello.”
Suddenly, a voice spoke in the empty corridor.
Ye Tian picked up the communicator attached to his waist and said, “I knew you’d come after me sooner or later.
How is it?
Had enough of my bullets or want to get shot again?”
“If you are still in the building across, I wouldn’t mind you taking another shot.”
Ye Tian snorted coldly, “Hmph, you’re quite clever.
What, missing me already?
Or is it my bullets you’re nostalgic for?”
There was a sudden silence from the other side.
Wang Jin looked around and realized that he had entered the Antique Collection Hall, where the signal is blocked.
Ye Tian stepped back and noticed the other party had stopped talking and one of the two signals on the display had disappeared, a sign that it had been lost.
What’s going on here?
Could he have literally vanished into thin air?
Suddenly, Ye Tian was startled.
No way!
“My friend, so you really were waiting here for me!” This wasn’t coming from the communicator.
Turning his head, Ye Tian saw a man in a white robe, holding an old book and looking at him leisurely.
Despite the large beard, it was clear the man wasn’t over thirty years old.
Quick draw was always Ye Tian’s forte, and this time was no exception.
Against this enemy who had appeared without warning, Ye Tian showed no mercy, taking only a second from loading the bullet to aiming.
“Spit it out, what’s your purpose in being here!
Who’s providing you with inside support and guns!”
Facing the barrel of the gun, the man in the white robe was not intimidated.
“Friend, what truly instills fear isn’t the material but the spirit.”
“Bullshit!
I’ve lived for twenty years, I don’t need your lecture!
Answer me—who’s backing you and supplying your weapons?” Up until this point, this was the closest Ye Tian had been to unraveling the truth.
He could sense the most intense unrest in this man, a characteristic unique to the Blood Wolf Alliance.
“Bang!” Ye Tian fired a shot at the man’s feet, causing the white-robed man to step backward.
“See, when faced with bullets, you still retreat in fear.”
“No, no, no, if that satisfies your misunderstanding of fear, I could retreat a couple more steps.” The man in the white robe then took two calm steps backward without a trace of fear, “See, how’s that?”
“Cut the tricks!” Ye Tian stared fiercely at the man, his hand gripping the gun trembling with sheer rage.
Although Ye Tian was well-versed in psychology and knew he needed to stay calm at times like this, his hands were not under his control.
“OK, don’t get agitated.
Since I speak Huaxia language, it means I definitely have something to tell you.
Alright, follow me.
Let’s play a game.” The white-robed man gestured invitingly, then walked further inside.
This was the antique preservation area, filled with safes gleaming with metallic luster and vases sealed in bulletproof glass.
Ye Tian didn’t believe for a second they came just to steal antiques, but soon he saw two people he should definitely not have seen—Gu Yue and Tang Su.
Two safes, each taller than a person, stood apart on either side, twenty meters between them.
What Ye Tian saw were Tang Su and Gu Yue, each tied to these safes surrounded by an array of timed explosives.
“Alright, friend, let’s go over the rules of the game,” said the white-robed man, as if asking for Ye Tian’s opinion.
“Mmmph, mmmph,” Gu Yue tried to say something, her mouth gagged with cloth, her back against a painting Ye Tian couldn’t name.
Tang Su had an indifferent expression, turning her head away from Ye Tian.
She was regretting deeply why she hadn’t kept a closer watch on Gu Yue, allowing her to slip away through the elevator.
“Alright, friend, judging from your shooting skills, you’re an expert capable of precise shooting at 1.5 kilometers with a spread not exceeding 5 cm—an elite in the world.
Now, for such an expert, we assume he can defuse a bomb in thirty seconds…
Don’t look at me like that, it took me thirty-five seconds when I did it.”
Ye Tian did not dare take this inscrutable figure lightly.
“So, you could probably cross the twenty-meter distance in three seconds, plus the blast range of the bomb…
to perfectly save both people you would need…
at least two minutes.
However, sorry, I’ve set the timer for only one minute, which means you can only save one person.
Of course, should you manage to save both, well then you truly are a god.
Bye now.”
“You think you can just leave?”
“Enough, stop waving your gun around.
The detonator is in my hand, it will blow instantly if it leaves my hand.
Not even a shot to my brain’s central nervous system would help now.
You don’t want to see that situation unfold, do you?” His voice had become a bit stern, “Goodbye.”
“Wait!”
“What now?
Oh, if you want to know who the mole is, sorry, who knows if you might discard them and run off by yourself.”
“…Then what’s your purpose?
Why kill our team!”
“Huatuo’s Tomb, Ye Tian, do you really not remember anything?” As he spoke, the white-robed man shook the yellowed thread-bound book in his hand.
“Though many things were retrieved from your bodies back then, a lot was also lost.
I suspected someone had taken it, but I never expected someone from your team was still alive—like you.
I hadn’t imagined that Huaxia would host an exhibit on Hua Tuo’s Tomb artifacts, so I hurried over.
Turned out, it wasn’t a bad move, I actually got my hands on something pretty good.”
“You went to all this trouble for this book?”
“No, no, no, this is not some lousy book, this is three hundred million US dollars.
Hahaha!” With a wild laugh, the white-robed man left, disappearing around the corner.
Ye Tian wanted to chase him but stopped mid-step, a huge conflict filling his mind—on one side was his blood-sworn enemy in close proximity, and on the other, two women with deep ties to him.
The internal struggle reached its peak.
“Tick tock!”
The timer officially started!
Dragging his feet wasn’t Ye Tian’s style, hesitating and struggling were for fools on TV.
What a joke, with only a minute to go, you’re here feeling sorry for yourself, completely at a loss!
