Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1736 - 1733: Narrow Encounter (Part 2)

"Brother Botong, Ou Mengmeng, over here..." Lin Tian stood up, waving to Zhou Botong and Ou Mengmeng. Xiao Manxuan and Yun Xiaotian both looked at his hand, realizing he was holding a lobster while waving.

Lin Tian also realized that greeting people with a lobster in hand wasn’t exactly flattering, so he casually put it down. However, Zhou Botong and Ou Mengmeng finally noticed the trio.

The two hurried over, but the discontent and anger on their faces hadn’t dissipated.

"Damn, what’s up with you two, scowling like someone owes you millions?" Lin Tian looked them over curiously. "Sit down and talk."

Once they sat down, their expressions softened a bit. Xiao Manxuan also asked with concern, "What happened? Does someone really owe you money?"

"Don’t even mention it, I’m so pissed off!" Ou Mengmeng said angrily, then picked up a smoked duck leg and started eating it fiercely, as if venting her anger on it. Lin Tian and the others exchanged glances.

Lin Tian glanced at Zhou Botong, signaling with his eyes, asking what was up with Ou Mengmeng.

"What else could it be? It’s all because of Bitong," Zhou Botong said indignantly.

"Bitong? You saw her too?" Xiao Manxuan asked, surprised, as she was the first to spot Bitong and Tian Xiaotian at the airport.

Ou Mengmeng, who was still angrily eating, paused and looked at Xiao Manxuan, "Why do you say too? Did you see her as well?"

Lin Tian nodded nonchalantly. "Yep, saw her at the international airport in Jinghua City, even took the same flight to Zhonghai City. How did she offend you?"

Zhou Botong patted Ou Mengmeng on the back to soothe her before speaking, "You might not know, but Bitong not only came to Zhonghai City, but she’s also been to Dayan Island and even entered Coastal Villa. We ran into her at the entrance of the villa."

"Hmph, she actually mocked me for not dressing properly, said Coastal Villa is a high-class place, not a second-rate ’Sea and Sky Feast,’ and said they don’t welcome bimbo models or escort girls," Ou Mengmeng said angrily, taking another fierce bite of the duck leg, leaving Lin Tian at a loss for words.

The implication of Bitong’s words was that Ou Mengmeng was just a bimbo model or escort girl there to make money. How could Ou Mengmeng not be furious? Lin Tian gave Ou Mengmeng a few glances. This "Female Knight" indeed dressed quite daringly and provocatively.

She wore tight, short shorts showcasing her long, straight, and white legs. On top, she had a hot crop top exposing her flat belly and sexy navel, with the skimpy top accentuating her already considerable bust. Her hair was pulled back simply, revealing a fair neck.

With this outfit, this figure, this complexion, any man would immediately think of words like "hot and sexy."

In fact, Ou Mengmeng always dressed this way. This "Female Knight" loved racing in sports cars, and her personality, much like her figure, was fiery.

Besides, being on an island and near the sea, dressing hot was quite normal. Lin Tian had just seen even more scantily clad beauties on the beach.

Of course, from another angle, one could say that Bitong was jealous of Ou Mengmeng because, both in terms of figure and looks, she couldn’t compare. But none of that mattered. What really pissed off Ou Mengmeng were Bitong’s sarcastic comments.

What is the "Sea and Sky Feast"? The organizers claim it’s a high-end lifestyle expo and a social event for elites, showcasing yachts, private jets, and luxury properties.

They claim that attendees are social celebrities, wealthy people capable of purchasing private jets, company executives, entrepreneurs, including top stars and tycoons.

Ironically, these stars and entrepreneurs have all issued statements distancing themselves from the "Sea and Sky Feast." In everyone’s eyes, it has become synonymous with debauchery—chaotic parties where rich second-generation, socialites, and bimbo models gather, causing a ruckus together.

Bitong pegged Ou Mengmeng as one of those bimbo models attending these parties. Needless to say, someone with her fiery temperament would be infuriated.

Lin Tian, feeling puzzled, asked, "Although Bitong is a top popular star, she generally wouldn’t dare mess with you rich second-generation types. Doesn’t she know who you are?"

"Actually, this has something to do with you, Lin Tian," Zhou Botong said.

"How does it involve me?" Lin Tian asked, confused.

Zhou Botong explained, "She doesn’t know Ou Mengmeng’s identity, but she recognized me as the manager of Tianxue Jewelry Flagship Store in Jinghua City. Because of that, Bitong ridiculed and mocked Ou Mengmeng for coming in with me, because you kicked her out of the running to be the spokesperson last time."

"Damn, no way, she’s taking it out on Mengmeng for that?" Xiao Manxuan was indignant. Such business deals happen all the time—if it can’t be negotiated, then don’t cooperate. Business may not succeed, but friendships do; there’s no need to get upset over it.

Lin Tian shook his head, amused, "This was her chance to climb into high society, now dashed. How could she not be embittered? Even though she’s a top-bill star, in the eyes of big tycoons and prestigious families, she really isn’t much. Thus, she is not content with her current status and wants to vie for a higher position."

"I don’t care what she wants or how popular she is, I’m going head-to-head with her. So, will you guys help me or not? Lin Tian, Yun Xiaotian, the two of you, as men, raise your hands and vote." Ou Mengmeng said domineeringly, glaring at Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian, as if to say, don’t help and you’ll regret it.

Yun Xiaotian looked awkward, breaking into a cold sweat. If others said this, he could completely ignore it. But the people present were not only good friends, the Yun family and the Ou family were also allies, so it would be wrong not to help.

"Alright, I’ll help," Yun Xiaotian agreed, which satisfied Ou Mengmeng. She then looked at Lin Tian, but noticed his attention was elsewhere.

"Xuanxuan, look at your Lin Tian, will he state his position?" Ou Mengmeng acted with her usual boldness. Being unable to vent this anger clearly was unacceptable to her.

Xiao Manxuan’s face turned a little red, and she softly said, "He’s... not exactly ours..."

Lin Tian wasn’t paying attention to the conversation between the two, instead knocking on the table lightly, gesturing for everyone to look at the entrance. Everyone turned their heads, puzzled, only to see a group of people coming in.

Among them were two women, Bitong and Tian Xiaotian, proving the saying that enemies encounter each other. But what surprised everyone were the two young men accompanying Bitong.

Lin Tian chuckled softly, commenting lightly, "No wonder she became so arrogant; she’s managed to latch onto the Li family. This Bitong, she’s quite the schemer."

However, there were some things Lin Tian thought better not said in front of the girls. This Bitong, hooking up with the Li family, probably had to give up something, like physically.

The entertainment circle is a cesspool; some starlets climb their way up by lying down.
