Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Just Had Two Days Rest and Now Have to Beat Up the Protagonist Again, What a Refreshing Life!

The next day, at Linjiang City International Airport, a young man about twenty-five years old with a solemn face and sharp eyes emerged from the terminal. This man was Ye Tian.

“Eight years…” Ye Tian couldn’t help but sigh as he left the airport, “Jiuzhou Country is indeed the best…” After spending eight years in Heizhou, tired of a life on the edge, he had returned to his homeland for retirement.

Ye Tian took out his phone and dialed Lin Canghai’s number. During his time abroad, he had once saved Lin Canghai by a stroke of fate, and Lin had promised to help him find a job upon his return to the country.

“Hello, who is this?” The phone was quickly answered, with a somewhat puzzled voice from Lin Canghai on the other end.

“It’s me, Ye Tian…”

“Ye Tian? You’re back in the country?” Lin Canghai’s tone turned excited. It had been three years without any news from Ye Tian. He thought Ye Tian wouldn’t return, but surprisingly, he received his call today.

After all, Ye Tian was his life savior, and Lin had not properly thanked him back then. Now, Ye Tian’s return was an opportunity for Lin to repay his debt of gratitude.

“Yes, I just got off the plane. I was hoping you could help me arrange a job,” Ye Tian said with a light smile, somewhat aware of Lin Canghai’s background.

The Lin family was among the top families in Linjiang City, and arranging a job for him would be easy for them.

“Wait at the airport, I’ll send someone to pick you up, and we can meet and talk.”

“Alright…” After the call, Ye Tian sat on a bench by the roadside, idly watching the passersby.

About an hour later, a Maybach stopped in front of him, and two men in black got out of the car. “Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Tian?”

“Yes, I am Ye Tian.”

“Our master has sent us to take you to the Ye residence. Please get in the car,” the man in black said respectfully, stepping aside to make way, with a gesture of invitation.

They had been instructed not to provoke Ye Tian, whose background was formidable, so they were extremely respectful.

After Ye Tian got into the car, the men in black also got back in and drove straight to the Ye family’s compound.

…

At the Ye family compound, Ye Tian was led by the men in black directly into the villa’s living room, where Lin Canghai was already waiting in the main seat.

“It’s been three years, and yet Young Master Ye still looks as spirited as ever,” Lin Canghai said, stroking his beard and smiling faintly as he looked at Ye Tian.

“Mr. Lin, you too. It’s been three years, and you seem even healthier than before,” Ye Tian responded, taking out a gift box from his backpack and handing it to Lin Canghai.

“What’s this?” Lin Canghai asked curiously.

“This is Ceylon black tea I brought back from abroad. Knowing your passion for tea, I specifically brought it for you,” Ye Tian said with a smile.

He was not unfamiliar with the ways of courtesy. Although Lin Canghai owed him a life-saving debt, he still needed to rely on him in Linjiang City, so it was better not to act arrogantly.

“You are thoughtful…” Lin Canghai chuckled and accepted the Ceylon black tea without refusal. His impression of Ye Tian improved; the man was not only a skilled martial artist with a terrifying background, but he was also polite and humble in his conduct.

If he didn’t meet an untimely end, Ye Tian was bound to be an extraordinary figure in the future.

“Why did you suddenly decide to return to the country?” Lin Canghai asked curiously.

“Tired of the life of constant fighting and killing, I’ve been wanting to retire,” Ye Tian replied. “Moreover, I returned this time at the behest of a comrade-in-arms, to take care of his sister.”

“He lost contact with his sister after going abroad, but she should still be in Linjiang City. Her name is Su Qingzhu. I need your help with this matter.”

“That’s a small matter, don’t worry…” Lin Canghai pondered for a moment. “I will have someone inquire about this person, but I can’t guarantee results.”

Linjiang City, as one of the four major cities of Jiuzhou Country, had a population of about twenty million, making it difficult to find a single person.

“I also need to trouble Mr. Lin to find me a job.”

“What kind of job do you want?” Lin Canghai asked curiously. The Lin family primarily operated in the cosmetics industry.

If Ye Tian wanted to develop in a major internet company, it would require pulling some strings, but it was just a matter of saying a word.

“Cleaning, security, any job is fine,” Ye Tian said, shaking his head.

He was looking for a job mainly to occupy himself. He wasn’t short of money; a job was just a way to pass the time and quickly integrate into the life of ordinary people.

“In that case…” Lin Canghai thought for a moment and then smiled, “How about you become a bodyguard for my granddaughter?”

Lin Canghai had his own motives in suggesting this. Having Ye Tian as Lin Xiyan’s bodyguard would not only ensure her safety but also potentially lead to a closer relationship between them.

Ye Tian was one of the few outstanding young men he had met, and his background abroad was also formidable. If he could bring Ye Tian under his command, it would be excellent.

“Grandpa, I’m back.” While they were talking, Lin Xiyan, dressed in an OL outfit, walked in from outside. Ye Tian turned his head curiously, and then he was stunned.

During Ye Tian’s years in Heizhou, he had seen plenty of foreign beauties, but he had never encountered someone like Lin Xiyan, who radiated a natural, gentle beauty and charm, and was exceptionally attractive in both appearance and figure.

A flash of greed crossed his eyes, and he quickly made up his mind. The pursuit of such extraordinary beauties was one of his hobbies, and only by following him, Ye Tian, could such a woman not be wronged.

“Grandpa, who is he?” Lin Xiyan, noticing Ye Tian’s greedy gaze, frowned and asked Lin Canghai. Although Ye Tian’s gaze was subtle, she easily caught it. A sense of disgust towards Ye Tian emerged in her heart; she detested being looked at in such a way.

“You’re back, just in time for me to introduce you,” Lin Canghai said with a chuckle. “This is Ye Tian, a young and talented martial artist.”

He didn’t reveal Ye Tian’s background, knowing if he did, it might ruin his plans since Lin Xiyan didn’t like those who lived a life of constant violence.

“Ye Tian, this is my granddaughter, Lin Xiyan, currently serving as the president of our Lin Corporation.”

“Miss Lin, nice to meet you. I’m Ye Tian,” Ye Tian said as he stood up and extended his hand in a gesture of friendship.

“Sorry, I don’t like physical contact with men, even handshakes,” Lin Xiyan said, frowning slightly and not extending her hand.

“No problem, I understand,” Ye Tian replied with an awkward smile, withdrawing his hand, though feeling somewhat annoyed inside. “Bitch! Acting all high and mighty! Wait until one day when I, Ye Tian…”

“Grandpa, I don’t need a bodyguard,” Lin Xiyan said, turning to Lin Canghai. She was skilled in martial arts and already had several bodyguards; she didn’t need Ye Tian.

“Ye Tian is not an ordinary person; he can protect you,” Lin Canghai suggested. “You young people should try to interact more…”

“I don’t need it,” Lin Xiyan said, frowning. She could sense the underlying meaning in her grandfather’s words.

But how could she agree with his opinion when her relationship with Jiang Che was still ambiguous? She went upstairs without giving Ye Tian another glance. 𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝔢𝖇𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔢𝔩.𝖈𝔬𝖒

“My granddaughter is just like that, don’t take it to heart,” Lin Canghai said awkwardly, puzzled.

Usually, Lin Xiyan was gentle with everyone; why did she change her attitude so suddenly at his suggestion? Could it be that she already had someone in her heart?

“No worries. It’s common for girls to have small tempers; I understand,” Ye Tian said, retracting his gaze from the second floor and smiling lightly.

…

At Crouching Dragon Mountain Villa, by the pool.

“Mr. Lin sent someone to bring Ye Tian back to the Lin family?” Jiang Che asked, enjoying the massage from Ah Qing, without lifting his head.

“Yes, young master, our people saw Ye Tian going to the Lin family,” Ah Long answered respectfully. He didn’t understand why the young master wanted someone to keep an eye on such an ordinary-looking person, but he didn’t ask further.

“Tell the brothers to continue watching him, but remember not to expose their identities.”

“Yes,” Ah Long responded and respectfully withdrew.

Jiang Che sipped some juice placed nearby, starting to piece together the upcoming plot. Ye Tian would become Lin Xiyan’s bodyguard, face ridicule and disdain, then gradually change Lin Xiyan’s opinion of him through various heroic deeds, eventually winning her over.

But with Jiang Che present, how could Ye Tian get his wish?

“It’s about time for me to make a move again. Just rested for two days, and now I have to beat up the protagonist again. This kind of life is really… awesome!” Jiang Che mused, enjoying the moment.

“Young master, how’s the strength?”

“A bit stronger…” Jiang Che closed his eyes comfortably and said with a contented expression.
