Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1742 - 1739: The Gray World (Part 2)

Five people appeared outside the villa, three men and two women. The one walking in the front was a young man, but his hair was white.

"Isn’t that Mr. Qi?" Xiao Manxuan’s vision was getting better and better; she could recognize the person with white hair from afar at dusk.

"Who is Mr. Qi? And why did he make his hair white, artistic image?" Ou Mengmeng asked in confusion.

Artistic image? Lin Tian chuckled inwardly. Mr. Qi was victim to a Gu Worm, went through life and death, and gained that white hair. However, Lin Tian didn’t explain anything; some things are better left unknown to them.

"Brother Tian, we are here." Mr. Qi arrived at the villa and waved up to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian responded with a smile: "Come up, don’t stand below talking."

Mr. Qi nodded and turned to his subordinates beside him, "You wait in the living room. I’ll go up to see Brother Tian." They all nodded in understanding.

As the footsteps sounded, Mr. Qi walked out, glancing around at the surrounding buildings and scenery with a face full of surprise. Although he was a second-generation rich kid, it was his first time seeing such a coastal villa with sea views.

"Brother Tian, long time no see. Second Miss is here too, and Mr. Zhou as well..." Everyone was from Xikou City and part of the second-generation wealthy circle, so Mr. Qi naturally recognized Zhou Botong.

Lin Tian laughed and pointed to Ou Mengmeng, introducing, "Zhou Botong’s girlfriend, Ou Mengmeng, from Zhonghai City’s Ou family, likes playing racing cars and is quite the Female Knight."

"Yun Xiaotian from Jinghua City’s Yun Family, the heir of the Yun Family." Lin Tian introduced.

His introduction had deep meanings: first, to let Mr. Qi know their identities for networking, as you can’t survive in the entertainment industry without connections; second, to make introductions clear for future cooperation.

This introduction stunned Mr. Qi; the Yun Family and Ou family were entities his Qi Family could only look up to, yet now he had the chance to meet them. Reflecting on his past reckless behavior, Mr. Qi truly felt like a frog in the well, unaware of the vast sky and earth. And Lin Tian opened up an entirely new life for him.

Yun Xiaotian and Ou Mengmeng were also curious why Lin Tian invited Mr. Qi.

"Alright, back to the point. Mr. Qi’s family is in the entertainment industry; although not very famous, they’re a company that consistently produces good work. I’m not looking for someone who only walks the red carpet, but a genuinely talented actor or singer with noteworthy works; otherwise, walking the red carpet would just be laughable." Lin Tian stated very clearly.

There’s a new term in the entertainment industry called "red carpet stars" who have no works but often attend foreign film festivals just to gain exposure. Lin Tian never bothered commenting on this phenomenon, but now he doesn’t want Tian Xiaotian to become such a person in the future.

"Don’t worry, Brother Tian, I’ll never ruin my reputation. Works are the lifeline of an actor and singer; I understand this principle." Mr. Qi said seriously.

Zhou Botong stared at him wide-eyed in surprise: "Mr. Qi, your performance is really impressive now, not like how you used to be."

"The past is hard to mention; it’s all thanks to Brother Tian’s guidance that I have changed today." Mr. Qi said solemnly.

"Guidance? Sounds like I’m some monk." Lin Tian waved his hand, avoiding further tangents: "Enough chit-chat, back to the point."

"Brother Tian is right. By the way, Brother Tian, let us meet that girl first, so we can design her development path based on her image." Mr. Qi quickly switched to work mode, wanting to meet Tian Xiaotian.

Lin Tian and the others understood this principle: for someone with multiple charms, you can’t let her take the innocent path, but without Tian Xiaotian here, it was pointless to talk about this.

"How about this, Brother Botong, you and Mr. Qi go have a look at what’s going on with Tian Xiaotian. I thought we convinced her back then, but she’s still not here now; she might’ve confronted Bitong and is being restricted in her freedom." Lin Tian frowned and instructed.

"Alright." Zhou Botong agreed and turned to leave with Mr. Qi.

Lin Tian suddenly felt urged to say: "Forget it, I’ll go with you. Tian Xiaotian might not trust you otherwise."

While others waited in the villa, Lin Tian and the two left. He naturally didn’t know where Bitong and Tian Xiaotian lived, but it definitely wasn’t a seaside villa; Bitong was only invited as a performing star and surely didn’t have the qualifications to live in a seaside villa.

Lin Tian arrived at the front desk, where the female attendant immediately recognized him as a VIP and politely asked: "Mr. Lin, is there anything you need?"

"We want to find out where Bitong is staying for a party tonight," Lin Tian said half-truthfully.

The attendant did not doubt Lin Tian’s words, quickly checked on the computer, and said: "At the reception, room 808. Do you need us to contact Ms. Bitong for you?"

"No need, we’ll go find her ourselves, thank you." Lin Tian gave a slight smile, declining the attendant’s kindness.

The three left the front desk and followed the signs along the way, heading to the reception, then arrived at a tall building. Although called a reception, this building was comparable to a five-star hotel; the things at Coastal Villa were not lacking in quality.

This time they didn’t need to ask the reception desk as Lin Tian and the others went straight up the elevator to the eighth floor. The reception was not luxuriously decorated, but had characteristics typical of an island.

By now it was dark, and the corridor lights illuminated murals on the walls, making one feel as though they were in an ocean world.

"It’s already past seven-thirty, could they have gone out for a stroll?" Mr. Qi suddenly asked.

"Who cares, since we’re here, let’s check first and talk later; what if Tian Xiaotian is really being mistreated by Bitong?" Zhou Botong said.

Lin Tian didn’t say anything, and soon found room 808, directly ringing the doorbell.

Before long, the door opened, and Bitong stood behind it. She was wearing pajamas, with the neckline wide open, revealing a large area of skin and cleavage.

Bitong was evidently surprised to see Lin Tian, her expression visibly stunned for a moment, then she nonchalantly tidied up her clothes and said: "I remember you as the student from Jinghua University. Strange, what are you doing here?"

"I’m looking for Tian Xiaotian, ask him to come out." Lin Tian didn’t waste words, directly requesting Tian Xiaotian.

Bitong was stunned again, then laughed: "Haha, what a coincidence, Tian Xiaotian isn’t here, he already left."

"Who are you fooling, who knows if you’re restricting her freedom, let us in to see." Zhou Botong said quite bluntly.

Bitong’s face turned cold, retorting: "Let you see? How funny, I’m a popular star, do you think you are someone who can just come and see at will."

"I don’t want to get rough!" Lin Tian replied coldly.

Bitong shivered under Lin Tian’s gaze, but quickly regained composure, gradually saying, "The young girl already went to Li Wenrong’s room; maybe she’s already..."
