Chapter 23: Coveting Her Beauty?

Inside the house, all the bodyguards stood there trembling, while Grandpa Liang and Liang Xi were sitting on the sofa with cold expressions.

"What on earth are you good for?" Grandpa Liang's face was gloomy, and his deep eyes looked directly at all the bodyguards.

The personal bodyguard glanced at Grandpa Liang cautiously and then said, "Grandpa, well... I've only been here for two months. When I came, this group of people of yours was already like this."

"With your strength, it's completely impossible for you to be my grandpa's personal bodyguard. I just saw your strength, and you're not even as good as me. How on earth did you get in?" Liang Xi stood up and walked straight up to the personal bodyguard, asking coldly.

The personal bodyguard couldn't help but shiver and stammered, "M... Miss, I... I was originally just a small-time hoodlum on the street. Two months ago, a tall and big man came to me and said there was a good job opportunity and asked if I was willing. Of course, I was willing."

"After coming to your house, I was a bit scared at first. But for these two months, everything in your house has been peaceful, so I just..."

"You just stayed in this position with a clear conscience and almost got Grandpa killed." Lin Fan walked in, glanced at the bodyguard indifferently, and continued.

As the words fell, Grandpa Liang beside him immediately stood up and directly greeted Lin Fan's figure, smiling, "Lin Fan, are you not injured?"

A trace of a smile flashed across Lin Fan's face. He shook his head and said indifferently, "No."

"That's good." Grandpa Liang nodded and then said, "Go and sit over there."

Lin Fan nodded and then walked straight towards the place where Liang Xi was sitting. Then, under the gaze of all the bodyguards, he calmly sat down beside Liang Xi.

"Lin Fan, we really owe you a lot today." Grandpa Liang looked at Lin Fan with his deep eyes, and a trace of gratitude appeared on his face.

"It's just a piece of cake." Lin Fan replied indifferently. Then, his gaze fell on the personal bodyguard, and he continued, "This was a premeditated assassination. Grandpa, you'd better choose people by yourself in the future. With your status, you shouldn't trust others too much."

Liang Xi beside him nodded and then said, "Lin Fan, thank you for the reminder. The previous bodyguard had been by my grandpa's side for ten years, risking his life for my grandpa. So gradually, Grandpa regarded him as one of the family. We just didn't expect that he would also betray my grandpa."

"People's hearts are unpredictable." Lin Fan met Liang Xi's gaze and replied directly.

Grandpa Liang had also come to his senses at this time. He looked around and a trace of confusion flashed across his face. He asked Lin Fan, "By the way, what about that killer?"

"She left." Lin Fan didn't have much expression on his face, as if he was just talking about something insignificant.

"You actually let her go? Don't tell me that just because she's a woman, you were coveting her beauty, so..." The personal bodyguard standing beside him glanced at Lin Fan disdainfully and said loudly.

After the words fell, Lin Fan didn't even look at him, let alone pay attention to him. Instead, he directly said to Grandpa Liang, "She was just doing things for others. If you kill one of her kind, there will be a second one. Instead of dwelling on this, it's better for you to spend some effort on quickly finding out who the mastermind behind the scenes is."

"Yes, yes, Lin Fan is right." Hearing this, Grandpa Liang glanced at Lin Fan appreciatively and nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Grandpa Liang also came to know Lin Fan's true strength.

He couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed in his heart because at first, he had actually thought about recruiting such a genius to work under him...

He now understood that Lin Fan, this "Buddha," was someone he simply couldn't afford to mess with.

Thinking of this, a trace of guilt flashed across Grandpa Liang's face. He said to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, I have to apologize to you for what happened before."

"My previous actions were indeed wrong, and I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you."

"Moreover, with your strength, even the renowned killer Ye wasn't your match. You don't need to rely on anyone at all. However, if you need any help in the future, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Liang Xi beside him looked at Grandpa Liang with a pained expression and said softly, "Grandpa just values talent."

Hearing this, a trace of a smile flashed across Lin Fan's face. He said to Grandpa Liang, "Don't take it to heart."

"I'm glad you're not mad at me." Grandpa Liang nodded happily like a child and then said, "By the way, to show my apology and my gratitude to you, I'll hold a banquet tomorrow night. You must come."

Hearing this, Lin Fan was about to refuse.

But Grandpa Liang seemed to see through Lin Fan's thoughts and continued, "If you don't come, I'll ask Xiao Xi to tie you up."

"Grandpa." Liang Xi beside him blushed and pushed Grandpa Liang shyly.

"If I'm free, I'll come." Lin Fan stood up and then walked towards the door under the gaze of everyone.

Just as he was about to go out, Lin Fan added, "I don't want a single word about Ye tonight to get out."

All the way back home, Lin Fan was slightly taken aback when he saw that the lights on the first floor were still on.

The moment he opened the door, three pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on him.

Lin Fan raised his eyes and saw Gu Yajing with a mournful face, looking at him as if asking for help.

To Gu Yajing's right, a middle-aged man's face darkened as he scanned Lin Fan up and down.

Next to the man, there was also a noblewoman sitting. The noblewoman's gaze was also fixed on Lin Fan, looking indifferent, and even with a trace of hatred in it.

"Lin Fan..." Just then, Gu Yajing softly called out.

As the words fell, the gazes of the two people beside her immediately returned to her.

Lin Fan walked forward calmly. Now his relationship with Gu Yajing was still okay. Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded at the man and the woman and then walked towards the second floor.

"Stop right there!" Just then, the man suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Fan with a cold expression.

Lin Fan turned back and looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, saying indifferently, "Is there something wrong?"

"Is there something wrong?" The middle-aged man sneered and then continued, "A student who was almost expelled from school, a student who has been absent from class indefinitely, and a poor guy. Who allowed you to pursue our Yajing?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan glanced at Gu Yajing indifferently and then looked at the middle-aged man again, saying indifferently, "Which eye of yours saw me pursuing her?"

The middle-aged man's body stiffened slightly. But after a moment, he regained his haughty look and shouted at Lin Fan, "I'm telling you, our Yajing has excellent grades and a beautiful appearance. She's definitely not someone you, a poor guy, can dream of having!"
