Chapter 248
Ji Yanchuan, wearing a mask and sunglasses, eagerly leaned out from his family’s car.
He had told the Shen family that Shen Zhuoyan had insulted his mother.
Eager to please him, the Shens immediately inquired about Shen Zhuoyan’s whereabouts and sent people over—led by none other than Shen Zhuoyan’s uncle.
Ji Yanchuan smirked triumphantly at his bodyguard. "Make sure the recording is clear, especially Shen Zhuoyan’s face!"
"Understood, Young Master."
Confidently placing his hands on his hips, Ji Yanchuan declared, "Qiao Chuchu is just a spoiled rich girl. Seeing so many people surrounding her will definitely scare her. And since these troublemakers were brought here by her own bodyguard, she’ll have no choice but to back down."
Most people hire bodyguards for protection, but if a bodyguard fails to safeguard their employer and instead brings trouble, even if Qiao Chuchu wants to protect Shen Zhuoyan, the Pei family won’t allow it.
The bodyguard glanced at Ji Yanchuan. "So, when Qiao Chuchu is terrified, you’ll swoop in as the hero?"
Ji Yanchuan nodded emphatically.
The bodyguard frowned, looking skeptical. "Young Master, she already beat you up once. Why do you still think you can play the hero?"
Ji Yanchuan: "What did you just say?!"
The bodyguard: "...My apologies, Young Master."
Ji Yanchuan narrowed his eyes with cold determination. "I’ve thoroughly investigated Qiao Chuchu’s past. I know all her preferences and triggers. She’s completely within my grasp now!"
The bodyguard, holding up the phone to record, couldn’t hide his doubt. "Are you sure she’s in your grasp, and not the other way around?"
Ji Yanchuan shot him a deadpan stare.
The bodyguard awkwardly lowered his head. "Forgive me, Young Master."
Ji Yanchuan scoffed. "Qiao Chuchu has disrespected me enough. I’ll make her pay for it—by making her fall for me. And just when she’s hopelessly in love, I’ll reveal my true self!"
He removed his sunglasses, revealing his sparkling, confident eyes. "I’ll watch her suffer, loving me yet doomed to despair, even throwing herself off a building for me!"
According to his research, Qiao Chuchu appeared sweet and docile on the surface, but in reality, she was a troublemaker.
Her possessiveness was terrifying—she treated the seven Pei brothers as her playthings, even faking suicide attempts to prevent them from talking to other girls. She’d even suffered alcohol poisoning multiple times.
Once a love-struck fool like her fell for someone, she’d lose all rationality, drowning helplessly in obsession!
Once she loved him, she’d follow his every command!
His plan was foolproof—she would inevitably fall for him!
The bodyguard watched him with confusion. "No wonder you’re the Young Master."
Only someone born into privilege, never knowing hardship, could obsess over such petty romance dramas and meticulously plot for love.
"Enough nonsense," Ji Yanchuan snapped. "Record properly! Get Shen Zhuoyan’s vicious expression clearly—I need to show the Pei brothers!"
Shen Zhuoyan stepped out of the car, calmly eyeing the man at the center of the group. "Shen Tuo, if you have something to say, step aside. My employer is here—don’t scare her."
Shen Tuo sneered, scanning Shen Zhuoyan with disdain. "You actually found a job? Or are you just some rich woman’s pretty boy?"
Shen Zhuoyan’s expression darkened. He stepped forward, eyes blazing like a wolf’s. "Don’t insult my employer!"
Shen Tuo laughed, his face twisting into something ugly. "Shen Zhuoyan, I’m not insulting your employer—I’m insulting you, you father-killing bastard! You and your mother should’ve just died together!"
Shen Zhuoyan’s fist lashed out, striking Shen Tuo square in the face!
Shen Tuo staggered back, and his lackeys swarmed Shen Zhuoyan!
From inside the car, Qiao Chuchu watched the brawl unfold at close range.
Shen Zhuoyan remained composed.
Even after taking a few hits, he swiftly overpowered one attacker after another!
The entire group couldn’t pin him down—several were already groaning on the ground.
Qiao Chuchu stared, awestruck.
**[Hiring Shen Zhuoyan as a bodyguard was the right call! His skills are insane!]**
Shen Zhuoyan, initially tense, paused at her thoughts—then slowly grinned.
Yes.
He’d prove that choosing him was the best decision she’d ever made!
He lunged at Shen Tuo again!
The scene descended into chaos!
Ji Yanchuan, seeing his opportunity, strode forward.
Now was the perfect moment—Qiao Chuchu must be terrified!
Time for him to save the day!
But inside the car, Qiao Chuchu was practically vibrating with excitement, licking her lips as if itching to join the fight.
The driver, however, grew increasingly frantic. "Miss, what should we do? Should I help him?"
Qiao Chuchu waved him off eagerly. "No need! You’re paid to drive, so just drive."
The driver: "?"
She yanked open the car’s storage compartment—a custom feature she’d requested for self-defense.
Inside lay an arsenal of blunt weapons!
She grabbed a baseball bat and stormed out, murder in her eyes.
Ji Yanchuan, who had just reached the car: "Miss Qiao—wait, what?!"
Why was she holding a bat?!
Ignoring him, Qiao Chuchu marched up behind one of Shen Tuo’s men and swung!
The thug yelped, whirling around. "The hell?! Who hit me?!"
Qiao Chuchu leaped up and smacked him again. "Me, that’s who!"
The man howled in pain. "OW!!"
Ji Yanchuan flinched in shock.
The bodyguard recording: "..."
Told you. This girl wasn’t the type who needed saving.
Shen Zhuoyan, sporting a bruise on his cheek, paled when he saw Qiao Chuchu and pulled her protectively behind him. "Why did you come down? I can handle this!"
Qiao Chuchu shoved past him, bat resting on her shoulder. "Relax, I’m just out for a stroll."
She glared at Shen Tuo. "What’s your problem?!"
Shen Tuo blinked, momentarily wary of her. "This is a family matter, Miss Qiao. Stay out of it!"
Qiao Chuchu scoffed. "I would, but Shen Zhuoyan’s on the clock right now—he’s my bodyguard!"
She crossed her arms. "No interfering with my bodyguard during work hours. Talk to him after his shift!"
Shen Tuo: "? Then when does he get off?"
Qiao Chuchu: "When he quits. He’s on 24/7 duty."
Shen Tuo’s eyes bulged. "24/7?! So I have to wait until he quits? What if he never does? I’ll be on my deathbed before I get a word in!"
"Too bad!" Qiao Chuchu tilted her chin up defiantly. "What do you even want with him? You already cut ties!"
Shen Tuo fumed. "Cutting ties doesn’t mean we can’t settle things!"
Qiao Chuchu snapped back, "Well, I won’t let you!"
Shen Tuo’s temper flared. "If you won’t let me talk to him, then I’ll just hit you instead!"
Qiao Chuchu refused to back down: "You think this stick in my hand is just for show?!"
Shen Tuo clutched his chest in frustration: "If I get hurt, you’ll have to pay for it!"
Qiao Chuchu shot back sharply: "You brought all these people to surround my car—I’m so terrified right now that I could collapse on the spot, convulsing, foaming at the mouth, kicking my legs in circles, and flinging sand right at your face!"
Shen Tuo: "????"
What do you think?
