Chapter 427: The Bodyguard Dares to Presume
"Let's see what he has to say first!"
Qin Yu gently patted Yan Mingyu's slender waist.
As a businesswoman and a newcomer, Mingyu certainly had some fears about the other party's identity as the vice-chairman of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.
But he was a group leader of Dragon Gate and was a master infinitely close to Half-Step Pill Holding; if the other party went too far, he could just teach him a lesson.
"That... President Zhao, I'm Yan Mingyu, we've met at Tang Shao's birthday party!"
Seeing the other party with a sullen face, Mingyu had no choice but to walk forward two steps and take the initiative to greet him.
In the East Sea, families and powers were almost tamed by Qin Yu. Mingyu could turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with another, with no one daring to cross her.
But this was Jinling City, the center of the province.
It was a gathering place for elites from over a dozen cities, with complex and interwoven powers; plus, Mingyu had only returned to the country for just over a year and had not yet established a good relationship foundation with the powers in Jinling. Facing Zhao Yucheng, the leading figure of the chamber, she had to be somewhat low-key.
"Oh, President Yan..."
Zhao Yucheng replied in an odd tone, "You too have come to develop in the provincial city?"
"Yes, I just arrived today, and I haven't had time to visit the senior members of the chamber yet!"
Zhao Yucheng seemed to be about fifty years old, so Mingyu respectfully addressing him as "senior" was quite fitting.
"President Yan, you've shown your might, do we still need your visit?"
Zhao Yucheng exhaled a smoke ring, his tone somewhat cold.
"This.... is indeed a misunderstanding. If I've affected President Zhao's family members in any way, I'm willing to apologize, and I can also provide financial compensation!"
Mingyu kept her posture very low, really not wanting to offend the chamber's big shot upon arrival in the provincial city, as it would make her company's development extremely difficult later on.
"Since President Yan has said so much, I will give you some face. Son..."
Zhao Yucheng tilted his head, and the Doberman limped over to him, "Come on, apologize to my son, and this matter will be settled!"
"Alright...."
Mingyu bit down on her back teeth, a trace of humiliation flashing in her eyes. However, for the greater good, she had to swallow her anger.
"President Yan...."
At that moment, Qin Yu stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Mingyu, and looked at Zhao Yucheng expressionlessly: "Aren't you going a bit too far with this? Or do you think that President Yan, being a frail woman, is easy to bully?"
"Who are you?"
Zhao Yucheng narrowed his eyes, his tone even more forbidding.
"President Yan's bodyguard!"
With the matters of the Martial Alliance and the Ye Family still unresolved, Qin Yu still presented himself as Yan Mingyu's bodyguard in public.
"Oh, so you're a lapdog? What, you want to represent your mistress and settle this matter?"
Zhao Yucheng's wife, with her hands on her hips, sneered at Qin Yu, her voice filled with mockery.
"Mrs. Zhao, Qin Yu is not just my bodyguard but also my friend. I hope you can respect him!"
Mingyu said, frowning slightly.
"Mingyu, I've heard of you, doing quite well in the East Sea, right? Also known as the 'First Beauty of the East Sea'? But let me tell you, this is Jinling City, not the East Sea. Our Zhao Family has been rooted here for decades. You must coil as a dragon and lie down as a tiger in front of us. Otherwise, we can drive you out of Jinling City in minutes!"
Zhao Yucheng's wife's gaze shifted to Mingyu as she spoke haughtily.
"President Yan, if you think you're so noble, then let your bodyguard apologize to my son. Otherwise, this won't end!"
Zhao Yucheng's demeanor was also very tough.
He knew Tang Xuanwu was interested in Mingyu, but the Zhao Family's strength was also formidable. When it came to matters of face, he wouldn't budge an inch.
"Haha, sure, as long as your son can handle the consequences, let him come over and I'll apologize!"
Qin Yu said with a cold laugh.
"Husband, before you came back...."
Zhao Yucheng's wife mumbled in his ear, probably about Qin Yu scaring her dog-son.
"There's such a thing?"
Zhao Yucheng gave Qin Yu a deep look and said solemnly, "I'll let the apology go, but I need to break one of your legs, because you scared my son!"
"No problem, let your bodyguard make his move!"
Qin Yu spread his hands and said.
"Qin Yu..."
Yan Mingyu tugged gently at Qin Yu's clothing. It wasn't that she was worried Qin Yu would be at a disadvantage, but rather that she feared his martial prowess was too great and he might injure Zhao Yucheng's bodyguards, worsening the situation even further.
"Hehe, I know my own strength!"
Qin Yu smiled slightly.
"Hmph, go!"
Zhao Yucheng tilted his head slightly.
"Yes, Boss Zhao!"
One of Zhao Yucheng's bodyguards slid a baton out of his sleeve and strode toward Qin Yu.
"Pick which leg you like, yourself!"
Qin Yu obligingly rolled up his trouser legs.
"I'll hit whichever I strike!"
"Whoosh..."
The gaze of Zhao Yucheng's bodyguard turned icy, and he swung his baton down toward Qin Yu's shin.
If the blow landed, it wouldn't just break a leg—it could shatter even the leg of a stool.
"Bang..."
But to everyone's surprise, before Zhao Yucheng's bodyguard managed to hit Qin Yu, he was repelled as if he had hit a wall, uncontrollably stumbling back several steps before sitting down heavily on the ground.
"This... this..."
Fear crept onto the face of Zhao Yucheng's bodyguard, as if he had seen a ghost.
Power emanating from the body!
Qin Yu had been able to do this for quite some time, and after practicing Dual Cultivation with Han Bing, his skill in using it had become perfect.
Zhao Yucheng's bodyguards, who hadn't even grasped the subtleties of dark energy, were like kindergartners before him, utterly defenseless.
"What are you playing at?" Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Zhao Yucheng glared at his bodyguard, anger in his voice.
"Boss Zhao... I..."
The bodyguard opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain.
"President Zhao, if you don't feel satisfied, why not have all your bodyguards come at me together?" Qin Yu suggested with a shrug.
"A mere bodyguard dares show off in front of me? Get him!"
Zhao Yucheng's face darkened as he made a hand gesture.
The remaining five or six bodyguards immediately drew their batons and rushed at Qin Yu.
"Bang bang..."
Qin Yu crossed his arms, not dodging or avoiding. As the bodyguards got within half a meter of him, they were sent flying as if hit by a train, sprawling in various directions.
Whoosh...
In a blur, Qin Yu appeared in front of Zhao Yucheng like a shadow, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him with one hand.
"What are you doing, let go of me!"
Zhao Yucheng's face turned red.
"Zhao, I don't care how powerful or rich your family is. But you only have one life. If you dare use any underhanded tactics behind my back, you'd better hire a hundred bodyguards to protect you. Otherwise, killing or crippling you would be as easy as pie," Qin Yu said coldly. After speaking, he flung Zhao Yucheng away, sending him flying several meters to crash down on the lawn of his own home. His face alternated between green and white, and he seemed unable to speak.
"And you, woman, take your son and get lost!" Qin Yu's last word, roared with a hint of power, was like thunder in the ears of the middle-aged woman.
Her son was even worse off, legs gone weak from fear, yelping as he ran into the villa, soiling himself in terror.
