Chapter 1 Responsibility Bodyguard_1
```
Huaxia's Premier International Metropolis, Ninghai City, situated on the coast of the Yellow Sea amid mountains and rivers, boasts convenient transportation. It is a center of international economy, finance, trade, and shipping, and truly a tourist hotspot!
Many business dynasties have set their sights on this fertile golden land!
From the exit of the train station, waves of travelers carrying luggage emerged!
In the crowd, a young man holding a canvas bag and looking very ordinary, stood unnoticed as he yawned and lazily stretched his arms!
"Ha~MD, I'm dead tired!"
After a day of exhausting journey, Ye Long had finally arrived in Ninghai City before darkness fell, and the trip had worn him out.
"Damn it, that old geezer, not buying me an airplane ticket is one thing, but he could at least have gotten a sleeper, sitting in a hard seat all day my butt hurts!" Ye Long grumbled to himself, finding the old man unbearably inconsiderate.
Just then, Ye Long's phone rang!
Checking his phone, he said, "Hey, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives!"
"Damn, you old fart, you've got the nerve to call me?" As soon as Ye Long answered the phone, he vented the frustration he'd been holding in at the old man on the other end.
The old man on the phone was none other than Ye Long's master, and it was under his orders that Ye Long had come to Ninghai City to protect a female KTV boss!
"You little rascal, be grateful I bought you a seat ticket. Annoy me further and believe me, next time I'll make you run there!" The phone conveyed an aged yet robust voice.
"You heartless old coot, just watch me skip out on you!" Ye Long retorted while on the phone.
The cunning laugh of the old voice suddenly filled the phone, "Heh heh, you little brat, if you mess this up, just see how I'll deal with you, you know what I'm capable of. Alright, I'm calling to tell you that I've also frozen your card. From now on, you're on your own!"
"What? You froze my card? Damn you... Hello? Hello, you old geezer!" Ye Long glanced at his phone, only to find the old man had hung up after speaking his piece.
Ye Long patted his pocket, finding only three hundred bucks left. For Ye Long, who always spent money freely, three hundred bucks might as well have been three bucks!
"Damn it, that old bastard. Not only does he send me to be a bodyguard, but he freezes my card too, so inhumane!" Ye Long fumed, then pulled out a photograph from his pocket.
The woman in the photograph wasn't old, but she looked very mature with her loose, flowing, brown curly hair. Her mature and melodious face was elegant and genteel, exuding a strong sense of womanhood!
This attractive, mature woman in the picture was Ye Long's protectee!
Of course, Ye Long had no idea how old the woman in the picture was or what her relationship was with the old man. All he knew was that she was the female boss of a KTV. Beyond that, he knew nothing!
Ye Long's duty was to infiltrate the KTV and protect this boss lady!
Ye Long couldn't figure out why his master would send him to protect the boss of an ordinary KTV. She wasn't some wealthy heiress or pampered rich girl. Why did his master, who had so many people at his disposal, need him to come all the way from a mercenary organization to personally protect a KTV boss lady?
This made Ye Long suspect that the boss lady's identity was not as simple as it seemed!
But asking about the boss lady's identity got him nowhere; the master wouldn't say anything, only stressing that Ye Long needed to protect her well, and that if anything happened, he wouldn't be spared!
It was getting late, and the sky was about to darken. There wasn't much time to reach Guimei KTV!
Ye Long decided to find a hotel to stay and rest for the night, so he could be well-rested for the job application tomorrow!
After all, the emperor is far away, and the old headmaster isn't by his side—it wouldn't matter if he waited another night!
Just the thought of his master made Ye Long angry. He hadn't made direct contact with the employer but was sent to be a bodyguard, and now he had to apply to be a waiter too. What the hell!
The only thing that pleased Ye Long was that the photo showed that the other party seemed to be a stunning beauty. Just from the photo alone, her aura and appearance were certainly extraordinary!
This slightly calmed the restlessness in Ye Long's heart, who usually lived on the battlefield of mercenaries. He was finally returning to city life, to live like a normal person!
But Ye Long didn't know if this female boss was as beautiful as she was in the photo; after all, with the power of beauty apps nowadays, it wouldn't be surprising if there was a world of difference between a photo and the real person!
"Handsome, are you looking for a hotel?"
Just as Ye Long was about to settle in a budget hotel, a somewhat awkward voice came from behind him.
Turning around in response to the voice, a golden-haired, blue-eyed foreign girl with an attractive figure walked towards him!
The blonde wore black shorts that hugged her body tightly, her features sharp and angular, with piercing blue eyes—she was the epitome of Western beauty!
She looked to be around twenty years old. Despite her youth, she had all the hallmarks of Western beauty and was quite mature in every aspect!
Ye Long took her in, estimating her figure to be among the upper echelons of Western beauties!
Especially those deep, soul-catching eyes—like they could electrify you; by golly, they were tremblingly exciting!
Ye Long liked what he saw in the approaching blonde!
It was just odd to him since he was dressed like a migrant worker—why would a Western beauty be greeting him?
"Yes, that's right, and you are...?" Ye Long took a proper look before asking politely.
```
"Hello handsome, my name is Anna, are you going to a hotel?" Although she was a Western girl, she spoke Chinese quite fluently.
"Hmm, right, I am going to stay at a hotel. Do you need any help?" Ye Long maintained a serious face, but was somewhat suspicious.
There were many swindlers of all kinds at the station, especially targeting those who looked like migrant workers because such workers were usually naive and easy to deceive!
However, the other party was a Western girl. She couldn't be a swindler, could she?
"Oh, that's great, I'm also looking for a hotel. It's my first time in Ninghai City, I came here to travel, so can we share a room together?" Anna asked Ye Long with a longing look in her eyes.
When a beauty asks for help, how could one refuse?
Moreover, Ye Long had been taught from a young age that helping others and being patient were the principles of life!
Stay together, they must stay together!
And most importantly, she took the initiative!
Ye Long was a man, and, adhering to a friendly attitude toward Western tourists, he nodded in agreement!
"It seems I really fell out of touch living in that godforsaken place. Coming to Ninghai City and immediately a Western beauty wants to cohabit, and she's a foreign girl at that, tsk tsk, it feels so good…" Ye Long felt internally radiant, instantly feeling quite dashing.
"Hey, of course, that's fine, but… but is it convenient for the two of us to live together?" Ye Long decided to probe the other party's intentions.
This Western girl had a figure so stunning, it made resisting one's own impulses a challenge!
But Ye Long wasn't an idiot; there's no such thing as a free lunch, and beauty often turned into a trap. This was Ye Long's vigilance honed from years on the battlefield!
Especially with his many years of bodyguard duties, Ye Long had encountered countless seduction traps!
"No problem, I trust that you won't do anything to me!" Anna was refreshingly straightforward, with that open demeanor of a Western woman.
"Alright, if you have no issues, then neither do I. Let's go!" Having heard Anna's response, Ye Long had made a judgment. He picked up his canvas bag and walked on ahead.
Seeing that Ye Long agreed without hesitation, Anna revealed an intriguing smile. As she turned around, her hand made a subtle movement, like she was signaling something!
A few buzz-cut men not far away noticed Anna's gesture and started to follow behind them!
There were many sketchy hotels and inns around the train station, with poor management, unhygienic conditions, and terrible soundproofing, making it hard for one to sleep with various discordant noises in the middle of the night!
Ye Long had experienced overnight stays in both deep mountain ravines and presidential suites of five-star hotels. In terms of life, Ye Long aimed to enjoy it to the fullest with his capabilities. Of course, under extreme conditions, Ye Long could still survive!
So within his financial means, Ye Long planned to find a decent budget hotel that was economical and comfortable, most importantly, one where he wouldn't be kept up by "bang bang" noises at night!
On the street, Ye Long hailed a taxi, and both got into the car, soon heading to a nearby hotel.
About ten minutes later, the driver stopped the vehicle in front of a budget hotel's entrance, and Ye Long, carrying his canvas bag, got out of the car with Anna.
"Let's go, we'll stay here tonight!" Ye Long said, then took Anna's hand and entered the hotel.
Ye Long and Anna approached the hotel reception, and he began to speak to the staff, "Hello, please provide us with a room…"
"Miss, please give me a large room first!"
Ye Long hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by a voice beside him—it was cold and arrogant, yet undeniably gentle.
Following the voice, Ye Long turned his head.
Next to Ye Long stood a very attractive woman whose scent was so fragrant that standing beside her, one could easily catch the faint and enchanting aroma.
Ye Long's keen sense of smell could tell that this scent was not that of perfume but rather a natural body fragrance.
Looking at the woman beside him, Ye Long's eyes glowed with heat.
Even though her demeanor wasn't great, it was undeniable that the woman before him was beautiful, about 1.7 meters tall with a slender figure, her hair intricately coiled behind her, wearing a professional business suit that made her look mature and a touch dominant.
Glancing over his shoulder and taking another peek, she was dazzling to behold—truly beautiful from every angle without a single flaw, and through Ye Long's professional eyes, she was definitely a top-tier beauty!
It seemed that Ninghai City really had no shortage of beauties!
It appeared that his master had not deceived him, and this was going to be a task that was not entirely dull!
Being so close to such a gorgeous woman, Ye Long surveyed her thoroughly with serious scrutiny.
This exceptional beauty was wearing a business suit over a white women's blouse, looking like a white-collar worker or perhaps a CEO!
Perhaps because it was too tight or the size was too large, the blouse was stretched taut, with one button undone at the top!
Standing together, Ye Long was half a head taller than this poised woman, so he naturally and inconspicuously glanced down a couple of times!
"Damn, that's deep, hopelessly deep, oh so sexy…"
