Chapter 11

~10 min read 1,993 words

The five Bodyguards attacked from different directions, fully utilizing their numerical advantage to occupy every path Chen Che might use to escape.

From the moment the situation began, Chen Che had effectively become a trapped beast in a cage. The True Qi rushed toward his face, blowing his long hair into a frenzy.

Cheng Song crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Cheng Kexin with a triumphant smirk.

Cheng Kexiang clenched her small fists, feeling very nervous; she buried her face behind Cheng Kexin, leaving only one eye exposed to watch the situation.

Chen Che remained expressionless, not even showing a ripple of emotion despite the five of them maneuvering to cut off his retreat.

The Captain of the Bodyguards sneered; since he didn't react even when surrounded, it seemed he was just a flashy show-off who could only talk big.

"Scared now? It's too late! Prepare to die!"

The Captain took the lead, leaping forward with his fist wrapped in True Qi, smashing down toward the top of Chen Che's head.

Just as he thought victory was in his grasp, his fist stopped two centimeters from the top of Chen Che's head.

Chen Che lifted his hand lightly and grabbed his wrist.

The eerie part was that he hadn't even seen when Chen Che had raised his hand!

The Captain felt something was wrong and tried to pull his fist back. But no matter how hard he exerted himself, he couldn't move it at all!

The other four Bodyguards were baffled by this bizarre scene, unable to figure out what their boss was doing for a moment.

The Captain felt his wrist growing more painful; no matter how massive his True Qi was, he could not break free from the restraint of Chen Che's palm.

"What are you standing there for? Attack him together!"

The Captain began to panic and called out to his subordinates for help.

The four Bodyguards swarmed forward.

At this moment, Chen Che smiled slightly; the Captain was so terrified by this harmless-looking smile that his hair stood on end, and he didn't even have time to react.

With a "Crack!" sound, the Captain's wrist snapped, his fist splayed open and hung limp.

Just as the Captain was about to scream, Chen Che exerted sudden force, grabbing his broken limb and swinging him around like a meteor hammer.

The four Bodyguards who had swarmed up were knocked to the ground by their Captain's body, then slammed a few more times with a "Boom! Boom!"

Four shallow pits appeared on the ground, and the four Bodyguards lay inside like dead dogs.

Looking at the Captain again, he had already lost consciousness, appearing like a pile of mud.

Chen Che tossed the Captain aside like trash, clapped his hands, and tilted his head to look at Cheng Song.

"This is impossible?!"

Cheng Song's eyes widened, his jaw seemingly about to drop to the ground.

Four Third-Rank Martial Artists and one Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, and they just lay down so sloppily?

This was not what he had expected!

Cheng Song's expression turned ugly; he finally realized he had been tricked! Cheng Kexin had found an expert and deliberately had Chen Che dress so ridiculously just to make him misjudge the situation!

Cheng Kexin glanced at Cheng Song's sour face, which looked as if he had eaten a fly, and she couldn't have been happier!

Her face was full of pride, and her smile was brilliant: "This junior brother really brings honor to his senior sister! Such an excellent junior brother, I must reward him well later!"

"So handsome!"

Cheng Kexiang had already pulled her face out from behind Cheng Kexin; she had witnessed the entire match, and besides shock, she felt only admiration. Stars were sparkling in her eyes as she looked at Chen Che, and she had completely fallen for him.

Cheng Weijun heard the commotion and came out of the house; he was just about to comfort Cheng Kexin when he saw an unbelievable scene.

"This is..."

Cheng Weijun's gaze wandered between his daughter Cheng Kexin and his nephew Cheng Song, finally landing on Chen Che.

If he remembered correctly, these five people should have been four Third-Rank Martial Artists and one Fourth-Rank.

And it was five against one. It could be said to have been a match without suspense, but the result was so explosive!

"This girl really gave her old man a surprise. To knock down these five people, he must be at least a Fifth Grade. A Fifth Grade Martial Artist in his twenties... If A Xiang really likes him, it wouldn't be impossible."

Cheng Weijun thought seriously.

Cheng Song recovered from his stupor, still unable to accept it, and roared in a rage: "Cheng Kexin, you plotted against me! This person is clearly an expert, yet you dressed him up like this to fool me!"

"Oh, cousin. You're wrong about that; when did I ever say he wasn't an expert? You were the one who didn't believe it and insisted on a match. Now that your people have lost and you've lost face, you brought this on yourself."

Cheng Kexin didn't hide the triumph on her face and continued: "But cousin, you too, finding such four pieces of trash to protect A Xiang—you are a very incompetent cousin. Of course, I can't blame you; after all, your judgment has always been poor, so you certainly couldn't tell if these pieces of trash had any real skill."

"You!"

Cheng Song's face turned livid; facing Cheng Kexin's cold sarcasm, he found himself unable to refute it.

"Fine, fine, fine, you win this time, but we'll see each other again!"

After dropping this line, Cheng Song glared fiercely at Chen Che and was about to stride away, but Cheng Kexin blocked him first.

"Where does cousin want to go? You haven't forgotten our bet, have you?" Cheng Kexin smiled, watching him with a provocative look.

Cheng Song gritted his teeth and glared at her viciously: "You want me to bark like a dog? No way!"

Chen Che walked over at this moment and said: "If Young Master Cheng wants to welch on the debt, I don't mind giving you a hand."

"You, a bodyguard, dare to touch me and see what happens?!" Cheng Song said in a rage.

Cheng Kexin laughed: "He is my bodyguard and won't listen to you, cousin. Besides, you've seen his skills, so you'd better accept the punishment obediently to avoid physical suffering."

Cheng Song's body trembled; he glanced at the group of five bodyguards on the ground, steeled his heart, and threatened: "Fine, you just wait!"

Cheng Song's expression was extremely ugly; under the supervision of Cheng Kexin and Chen Che, he slowly crawled onto the ground.

"Woof, woof..."

"Woof, woof..."

Cheng Song barked like a dog while quickly crawling out of the gate.

"Hahahaha!"

Cheng Kexiang put away the phone she had been using to record; she couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into loud laughter, "That was so satisfying!"

Cheng Kexin was also in a great mood and winked at Chen Che.

"Young Friend Chen, come, sit inside!"

After Cheng Song left, Cheng Weijun took the initiative to welcome Chen Che into the house.

"I never expected Young Friend Chen to have such high talent in Martial Dao at such a young age; you truly are a hero among youths! I couldn't be more at ease having you protect my daughter in the future!"

Cheng Weijun's face was wreathed in smiles as he took the initiative to pour tea for Chen Che.

Cheng Kexiang felt disgusted by her father's double standards, muttering, "You were just looking down on him a moment ago!"

Cheng Weijun said awkwardly, "That was me being blind and judging a book by its cover just now. It's just that Young Friend's attire is truly a bit... unique."

"This attire is indeed somewhat impolite; I ask that Mr. Cheng not take offense," Chen Che said with polished manners.

Cheng Weijun was, after all, the Sixth Senior Sister's father and an elder. No matter what, Chen Che would not cause Cheng Weijun to lose face.

Hearing Chen Che say this, Cheng Weijun nodded with an appreciative gaze: "Truly a young talent, not bad, not bad!"

Cheng Kexin felt a warmth in her heart; she knew Chen Che was only treating her father with courtesy for her sake.

Such a good Junior Brother is truly impossible to find even with a lantern!

Cheng Weijun cast an affirmative look at Cheng Kexin, meaning that this Bodyguard was a good find!

"Let's get back to the point. Since Young Friend will be working as my daughter's Bodyguard in the future, I wonder what requirements you have regarding the salary?"

Cheng Weijun asked with a probing gaze.

Chen Che smiled: "I have no requirements. But I believe Mr. Cheng certainly won't treat me unfairly."

Cheng Weijun laughed heartily: "That goes without saying! My Cheng Family has always loved to befriend talents like Young Friend, so of course I won't treat you unfairly!"

"My daughter's previous Bodyguards had a salary of fifty thousand Great Xia Currency per month, but that would be too much of a grievance for Young Friend Chen."

Cheng Weijun said: "Two hundred thousand a month, with a year-end bonus of five hundred thousand; I wonder what you think of that, Young Friend?"

"That is acceptable," Chen Che agreed immediately.

In any case, he was doing this for his own Senior Sister; he wouldn't mind if it were more, nor would he mind if it were less.

"Good, good, then it's settled!"

Cheng Weijun said to Cheng Kexiang: "A Xiang, now that Young Friend Chen will be protecting you, Dad is at ease. You take Young Friend Chen to buy some clothes, get a haircut, tidy up, and have a meal while you're at it. Get to know each other well; Dad will reimburse you for the expenses!"

"Great, Dad, you're the best!"

Hearing that she could spend time alone with Chen Che, and even go out to eat and shop—wasn't this just a date!

Cheng Kexiang could not suppress her excitement, grabbed Chen Che, and ran outside.

"Wait a moment!"

The two had only just run to the courtyard when Cheng Kexin chased after them.

Cheng Kexiang said guardedly: "Sister, why are you here? Dad said Chen Che is my Bodyguard now, and we are going on a date, so you can't follow us!"

"You brat, burning bridges after crossing the river, are you?! Where would you have gotten a Bodyguard without me!" Cheng Kexin said crossly.

"I don't care! Anyway, Chen Che is my person now, you can't snatch him from me!"

Cheng Kexiang spread her arms, blocking the space between Chen Che and Cheng Kexin.

Chen Che blinked, thinking to himself, does this girl not avoid anyone when she speaks?

What does she mean by "her person"? Wasn't it agreed that this was a cooperative relationship?

Treating illnesses and investigating the murderer were fine, but offering his body was out of the question!

"I just want to say a word to Chen Che; move aside," Cheng Kexin said.

Cheng Kexiang shook her head: "No, you can say it just like this."

At this moment, Chen Che bypassed Cheng Kexiang, arrived before Cheng Kexin, and asked: "Senior Sister, has something else happened?"

Cheng Kexin took a step forward, pressing her entire body against Chen Che, and said with a seductive smile: "You gave Senior Sister such face today; Senior Sister wants to reward you."

Chen Che felt the two mounds pressed against his chest and felt somewhat uncomfortable, saying: "That really isn't necessary..."

"Mwah!"

Before Chen Che could finish his sentence, Cheng Kexin stood on her tiptoes and planted a heavy kiss on Chen Che's face.

"Sister, you're cheating!"

Cheng Kexiang was overcome with jealousy, rushed up to separate the two, and dragged Chen Che away quickly.
