Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother

Chapter 72: Luring the Enemy Out?

Muer, tell me, when exactly does the boss plan for us to avenge our brothers? Harvey asked impatiently.

Muer was unsure when Ye Chen would order retribution. For now, their directive was to wait.

The boss hasnt said yet, Harvey. Just hold on a bit longer.

I cant wait any longer, Harvey bursted out, his temper flaring. These days, theyve been living under constant suppression, hiding at Ye Chens behest, a far cry from their usual freedom.

Muer, find out from the boss who killed our brothers, then well make our move, says Byles, looking earnestly at Muer.

If we ask the boss, hell likely guess our intentions and wont tell us, saidVincent, munching on a chicken leg.

Muer felt helpless watching his three comrades. He knew they all crave vengeance, but Ye Chens command was to wait.

Muer, maybe we should take matters into our own hands, suggested Vincent seriously.

Have you found out who the killer is? Muer asked, with Harvey and Byers focusing intently on Vincent.

No idea. Probably only the boss knows. But we can draw them out. Youve noticed, right? Someone in Magic City is searching for us. They must be connected to the killer.

We can expose ourselves to lure them out. As they say in Xia country, lure the snake out of its hole, Vincent revealed his plan.

Actually, I have a suspect in mind, and thats the person the boss warned us to be cautious of, said Vincent as he took out three photos. These photos were of Chen Luo, Chun Mei, and Xia Lan.

Alright, lets go with Vincents plan. Well lure them out and then eliminate them, Harvey immediately agreed with Vincents plan, eager to take action rather than continue hiding.

Muer fell silent. He too yearned for revenge, but he was reluctant to disobey Ye Chens orders.

If you dont want to join us, thats fine. Just dont snitch to the boss, Byers said directly to Muer, indicating that the three of them were in agreement with the plan, leaving only Muers decision pending.

Our brothers shouldnt have died in vain. Im with you, Muer finally said.

The bond forged through life and death with his brothers wasnt something he could ignore.

Then well follow the plan Ive set up. Ive already chosen the location, Vincent said as he brought up a map of Magic City on the computer and circled a park. This park isnt crowded, and theres a sizable forest nearby, convenient for our retreat. Its also suitable for an ambush, and most importantly, its not far from our current location.

Muer and the others nodded in agreement, then decided to let Byers intentionally expose himself to draw the people over. Its up to you, Byers. Just dont get caught by them.

Harvey, youre underestimating my abilities, Byers said, looking at Harvey with displeasure.

Soon after, Byers deliberately exposed himself, appearing in a conspicuous place. It didnt take long for White Roses people to spot him.

Found one of them? Send someone to follow him immediately, but be careful not to blow our cover, White Rose harm quickly instructed.

She then contacted Chen Luo to report the discovery of one of their targets.

I suspect they might have exposed themselves deliberately. We couldnt find any of them despite significant effort before, but today we discovered one of them in a blatant spot, without any attempt at concealment, she shared her suspicions with Chen Luo.

Their appearance seemed off, almost as if it was a deliberate exposure, and White Rose, not being naive, naturally had her doubts.

Alright, I got it. Send Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju over to check it out, and tell them to be careful. Also, keep an eye on Ye Chen. We need to confirm that he isnt with those four, Chen Luo instructed.

As long as Ye Chen wasnt with those four, even if they had some plot or scheme, Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju could handle it. However, if Ye Chen was also with those four escapees, they would have to be more cautious. Chen Luo still needed to respect the protagonists aura. Even if Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju were not weaker than Ye Chen, there could still be complications.

Once youve confirmed Ye Chens location, let me know, Chen Luo added, after considering for a moment.

After White Rose acknowledged the order, she immediately relayed Chen Luos instructions to Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju, and then followed up with the person keeping tabs on Ye Chen to ascertain his location. Once she had the details, she promptly sent Ye Chens location to Chen Luo.

The Yongqiang Group, huh?

Chen Luo noted the location sent by White Rose and headed straight for the Yongqiang Group. Dealing with those four men didnt require Chen Luos personal intervention. He just needed to keep an eye on Ye Chen, ensuring the inevitable demise of the four men. Chen Luo had full confidence in the abilities of Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju.

Arriving at the Yongqiang Group, Chen Luo, still holding the identity of Zhao Yingxuans bodyguard, encountered no obstacles and easily entered the building.

Where is Ye Chen, your security manager? Chen Luo asked a security guard.

The manager was reassigned by the chairman to serve as Miss Xiaos bodyguard and should currently be in her office, the guard informed.

Hearing this, Chen Luo immediately headed for Xiao Qingxues office. Reaching the top floor and Xiao Qingxues office, he knocked on the door, which was opened by Xiao Qingxues assistant, Xiao Li.

The moment Chen Luo entered, the atmosphere seemed to chill, the temperature dropping several degrees as Xiao Qingxue regarded him coldly.

What are you doing here? came Ye Chens voice, his fists clenched as he glared at Chen Luo like a wolf eyeing its prey.

Im here to discuss business with Miss Xiao, Chen Luo replied with a smile, unaffected by the tense atmosphere, and sat down in front of Xiao Qingxue.

Miss Xiao, I wonder if our cooperation is still ongoing?

Since Xiao Qingxues abduction, the partnership involving the scar removal cream had temporarily halted, and Chen Luo surmised they must be running low on stock by now.

Xiao Qingxue handed a signed approval contract to her assistant, Xiao Li, then lifted her head to meet Chen Luos eyes with a stern gaze.

Of course, we will continue. I hope Mr. Chen will keep supplying us according to the contract, she said.

No problem. Miss Xiao, I hope you dont mind if I stay here a bit longer? Chen Luo knew that as long as he stayed, Ye Chen wouldnt leave.

He suspected Ye Chen was worried that something might happen to Xiao Qingxue if he left, so as long as Chen Luo remained, Ye Chen would have to stay and keep watch.

Xiao Qingxue, with a cold expression, replied, I dont welcome you here.

Hearing this, Ye Chen, with a glare that seemed almost murderous, fixated on Chen Luo. Did you hear that? Now get out.

But we are business partners after all, lets not be so heartless, retorted Chen Luo, undeterred and thick-skinned. He even made himself a cup of coffee and stayed put.

Xiao Qingxue gave Chen Luo a cold glance but did not persist in asking him to leave.

What is he really up to?

Ye Chen frowned deeply, looking at Chen Luo. His intuition told him that Chen Luos visit was not as straightforward as discussing continued cooperation. He had a premonition that something was about to happen.

Not only Ye Chen, but Xiao Qingxue also felt that Chen Luos visit was not solely about business. As both Xiao Qingxue and Ye Chen kept their eyes on him, Chen Luo appeared relaxed, sipping his coffee.

If you keep looking at me like that, Miss Xiao, I might start to think youre interested in me, Chen Luo said with a light smile.

Xiao Qingxue snorted coldly and decided to ignore Chen Luo completely, finding his mere presence irritating.
