So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1525 - I Am Dead/ Misunderstood

Chapter 1825: I Am Dead

“Stop yelling. The Family Master has already left,” the bodyguard said coldly at Chen Zhiye without the slightest trace of emotion in his gaze.

“No! Impossible. Caique will not give up on me. I am his loyal subordinate. I have always been with him from the cradle to the grave [1], helping him handle all sorts of matters. He will not give up on me. You are lying. You go and bring Caique to me,” Chen Zhiye shrieked as loud as he could.

The bodyguard was amused when he heard Chen Zhiye’s words. He thought in his heart, You are his loyal subordinate? That person is me, right? I am his bodyguard, who has followed him from cradle to the grave and I am busy helping him handle all sorts of matters. And you are saying to the contrary?

“No need to look for him. If the Family Master wanted to see you, he would have already met with you. If he doesn’t want to meet you, he won’t meet you again.” said the bodyguard. “Stop talking any more nonsense. Would you rather leave by yourself or do you want me to knock you out and drag your body away?”

“I…I will do it myself…” said Chen Zhiye. All of a sudden, he pounced up and held the bodyguard tightly with his whole body. He did not let him budge even a bit. He then shouted, “Xiaolong, run away immediately!”

“Dad…you…” Chen Xiaolong was scared to the point of choking, but he did not dare to say anything in this situation. So, Chen Xiaolong had been hiding behind his father. At this time, he saw his father restraining Caique’s bodyguard to give him some time to escape. Chen Xiaolong was at a loss!

Although he was headstrong, he was not entirely foolish. At this moment, Chen Xiaolong understood that his father wanted to sacrifice his life to let him escape. But his father definitely could not escape. At this time, if he runs away…

“Don’t waste time! Run away now!” Chen Zhiye shrieked anxiously. “Why are you still daydreaming? Run now!”

“Ah… yes!” Chen Xiaolong knew that there was no use in staying here with his father. He did not know any martial arts, nor did he have any means of protecting himself, let alone saving his father.

If I run away, my father will be glad and happy even if he dies. With this thought, Chen Xiaolong responded and ran away.

Caique’s bodyguard looked disdainfully at Chen Xiaolong running towards the conference room’s door. He shook his head disdainfully and punched Chen Zhiye’s lower abdomen. Chen Zhiye groaned but still clung to the bodyguard tightly, refusing to let go.

A human’s potential is unlimited once it erupts. Chen Zhiye had only one thought at that time., He had to hold on to the bodyguard and let Chen Xiaolong run away. So, Chen Zhiye gripped the bodyguard’s hands even tighter.

The bodyguard frowned. He did not think that Chen Zhiye would be troublesome. He initially thought that he could knock Chen Zhiye aside with one punch. The bodyguard punched Chen Zhiye again once he felt Chen Zhiye’s grip becoming even tighter. This time, instead of hitting Chen Zhiye’s abdomen, he hit a fatal part – the head.

“Bang” a loud noise could be heard. Chen Zhiye’s temple was dented halfway by his punch.

The bodyguards were all trained professionals. They were extremely powerful. Ordinary people could not be selected as Caique’s bodyguard.

This time, Chen Zhiye was unable to withstand the bodyguard’s strike. His skull was fractured, and he immediately pa.s.sed out and died. However, his hands still held on to the bodyguard tightly.

It was obvious that his love for Chen Xiaolong transcended all. If Yang Ming was present, he would have lamented how great a father’s love was. But from another perspective, this excessive love had caused the present tragedy of the Chen father and son!

If Chen Zhiye did not dote on Chen Xiaolong excessively, he would not have asked Caique for help, and the current tragedy would not have happened today. So, such excessive fatherly love was not acceptable.

“Dad!” As Chen Xiaolong ran to the door, he saw the scene of Chen Zhiye’s head being flattened halfway! Obviously, Chen Zhiye would not survive if he was not sent to the hospital immediately. And even if he was sent to the hospital, it was unknown if he could be saved.

Chen Xiaolong screamed at the top of his voice and tears brimmed in his eyes. At this moment, he began to regret. He regretted that he provoked Yang Ming and harra.s.sed Chen Mengyan…

Chen Mengyan was not meant for him. This tragedy was the result of seeking something that he was not meant to have.

However, what had been done could not be undone. There was no turning back. His father had sacrificed his life to protect him. He must be strong and live so that his father’s death was not in vain!

Chen Xiaolong quickened his pace and ran out of the conference room.

The bodyguard frowned. He could not let Chen Xiaolong escape. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the Family Master’s wrath. He saw that Chen Zhiye still clasped his hands tightly. The bodyguard shook off the grip forcefully.

“Ka…” the sound of a bone fracturing could be heard. Chen Zhiye’s hand was wrenched off by the bodyguard and was thrown aside. He then broke into a run towards the direction where Chen Xiaolong escaped.

Chen Xiaolong was dumb and had no experience of escaping. He rushed straight into the elevator after running out of the conference room. He pressed the b.u.t.ton to go to the first floor. He thought the elevator was the fastest way to escape. Even if the bodyguard caught up, he could only wait for the elevator to return and then go down. By that time, he would have run far away.

But, he forgot that there was something in this world called an emergency exit. There were staircases in every hotel in addition to elevators.

The bodyguard chased until the elevator and glanced at the descending elevator. He then turned, ran straight to the emergency exit and went down the stairs.

The bodyguard was a professional. He just slid down the handrails instead of running down the stairs. After a few landings, he reached the first floor, and stopped by the side of the elevator.

The elevator had not arrived yet.

The elevator reached the first floor with a “beep” sound and the elevator door slowly opened. Chen Xiaolong did not look outside and rushed out. He wanted to escape here as fast as possible.

“Bang.” Chen Xiaolong felt that he had crashed into something as soon as he ran out of the elevator. He stumbled from the impact.

“Dang it, don’t get in the way!” Chen Xiaolong found that the thing he crashed into was a person. So, he blurted out a curse and wanted to sidestep them to continue escaping. He did not want his collar to be lifted by someone else.

“Go back, kid. You can’t run away,” said the bodyguard coldly. His heart reasoned that this kid was an inexperienced person. Otherwise, he would have to work hard to catch him.

“Ah-“ Chen Xiaolong wanted to call for help, but his mouth was covered and stifled by the bodyguard. The bodyguard shoved him into the elevator and closed the elevator door.

He then pressed the b.u.t.ton for the conference room floor room. The elevator slowly started to ascend.

In the elevator, the bodyguard released his hand covering Chen Xiaolong’s mouth. The surveillance camera in this elevator belonged to the hotel. He was not afraid of Chen Xiaolong yelling and calling for help.

“Kid, don’t think about running away. Anybody targeted by the Family Master isn’t able to run away!” the bodyguard said coldly without any expression.

Of course, these words could only apply to Chen Xiaolong and Chen Zhiye. Goode’s father, the former Family Master of the Douglas family, did not want to let Yang Ming go. But what was the result?

Chen Xiaolong was shocked and furious now. He did not expect that the bodyguard would arrive at the elevator door faster than him. How could he still be alright now that he was captured?

However, even if he wanted to run, he was unable to do so. How could he match this burly macho man?

That’s right! I can play dead! Chen Xiaolong consciously thought of a “brilliant” plan.. If he thinks I am dead, this bodyguard will let me go, right?

It was obvious that Chen Xiaolong’s idea was really stupid and naive.

“Ah… I’m dead…” Chen Xiaolong thought about it, then rolled his eyes, and collapsed directly to the ground with a “bang”. He laid stiff in the elevator.

“Hey?!” The bodyguard was dumbfounded. Is he dead?

Before he died, he said that he was going to die? Is there such a stupid person? Is there… Is there… Is there really such a stupid person?

The bodyguard did not know what to say. He was unable to find words to describe his current feelings. He had run into the world’s most stupid situation. He did not expect that there would be such a stupid person in this world. This stupidity was unprecedented!

Does he think that he is a fairy? Can he even predict his death beforehand?

The bodyguard was really speechless looking at Chen Xiaolong motionlessly lying on the ground with rolled eyes.

“h.e.l.lo?” the bodyguard kicked Chen Xiaolong.

Chen Xiaolong was motionless. Come to think of it, it’s a pain to play dead. Chen Xiaolong’s eyes were getting sore. Hopefully, this bodyguard believes it.

“I heard that when someone dies, they stretch out their right leg and whine…” the bodyguard wanted to play with Chen Xiaolong. “This kid didn’t whine. Is he faking his death?”

Chapter 1826: Misunderstood

The bodyguard was qualified to come here with Caique, so naturally he was proficient in Mandarin. So, there was no obstacle for him to communicate with Chen Xiaolong.

Ah? After a person dies, they stretch out their right leg and whine? Chen Xiaolong hesitated in his heart when he heard the bodyguard’s words. Is this true? How come I have never heard of such a thing before?

But, I have not seen what a dead person looks like. Who could know if the dead person lets out an “alas” at their time of pa.s.sive? However, the bodyguard’s voice sounds serious. He should not be bluffing, right?

That’s right. I once heard an idiom called “To Breathe One’s Last [2]”, which means “alas”. It probably refers to this. Otherwise, why would it be called “to breathe one’s last” instead of “an astonis.h.i.+ng life of a turtle”?

Chen Xiaolong became increasingly certain when he thought of this. It must be so. This bodyguard did not lie to me.

“Alas—” Chen Xiaolong quickly stretched out his right leg, whined, and then continued lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

“…” The bodyguard did not know what to say. He powerfully kicked Chen Xiaolong’s b.u.t.tock. “For goodness sake, stop pretending. Get up now! I have never seen such a stupid person. Too stupid!”

“Wail…” Swoosh, Chen Xiaolong jerked painfully on the ground. He could not hold it anymore, and immediately screamed.

Chen Xiaolong knew that he could not pretend anymore. He could only get up from the ground and cover his b.u.t.tock with both hands. He could not stand still, but he glared viciously at the bodyguard, “You were lying to me?”

“Who would believe your way of playing dead?” the bodyguard twitched his lips mockingly at him. “Before you “died”, you actually announced that you were about to die. Are you afraid that others will not know that you are dead?”

“This…” Chen Xiaolong was embarra.s.sed. He did not know what a dead person looked like. He had simply yelled once then. How could he know that the bodyguard would reason so much? He was even more enraged when he heard the bodyguard’s mocking, “Then, you have been fooling with me after that?”

“So what if I am fooling with you?” the bodyguard smiled. “Your dad’s death was really in vain for having such an idiot like you for a son.”

“You can not insult my father!” Chen Xiaolong stuck out his neck stubbornly.

“Huh? This little rascal is trying to be brave?” said the bodyguard dismissively. “However, save your courage for when you see your dad. You will be meeting with him soon enough.”

“What do you mean…?” Before Chen Xiaolong could finish his question, he felt a sudden sharp pain on his head. Then, everything in front of him faded to black and he knew nothing.

When the bodyguard saw that the elevator was about to stop, he immediately took action and knocked Chen Xiaolong out. He was worried that this kid would misbehave. This kid might mess around again after they got out of the elevator. Then, he would have to go through the trouble of capturing him again.

The elevator door opened with a “ding”. The bodyguard lifted Chen Xiaolong out of the elevator and went straight to the conference room.

This was the hotel management floor. So, no outsiders were roaming around here. The bodyguard was not worried that his actions would be seen.

Back in the conference room, the bodyguard dropped Chen Xiaolong next to Chen Zhiye’s “corpse”. At first, the bodyguard did not plan to take action in the conference room. He thought of finding a deserted spot by the sea and killing Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong there. Then, he would use a motorboat to dump the corpses at a place where they could be consumed by swarms of sharks. But, now it seemed that he could only do it in the hotel.

The blood of these two people would have already coagulated by the time he got to sea, so they would not be able to attract the swarms of sharks. Only the smell of fresh blood could attract swarms of sharks. When a person was dead for a period of time, their blood would slowly coagulate.

But, both of them had fainted. It would be troublesome if they were not killed and taken away. So, the bodyguard took out a long needle and stabbed Chen Xiaolong and Chen Zhiye in their temples. The two died in a coma without any pain.

After murdering both of them, the bodyguard called another one of Caique’s personal bodyguards to send two large suitcases. The two packed the corpses of Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong into the suitcases and carried them out of the hotel.

They immediately drove the hotel’s commercial vehicle straight to the Song Jiang Dock. As they pa.s.sed by the vegetable market on the way, the bodyguard went down to buy a few live chickens. These chickens would be slaughtered at sea and their blood would be released to attract the sharks.

The Douglas Vast Hotel owned a yacht renting company that was operating on the dock. The two managed to get a yacht without any difficulties. They carried the two suitcases containing dead bodies with a few live chickens and went out to sea.

“Boss, this should be fine, right? According to the local sea map, sharks are often found near here,” said the second bodyguard who had been summoned by the previous bodyguard while looking at the sea chart.

The previous bodyguard was the leader of these bodyguards. Hence, everyone beneath him would address him as boss.

“Sang En, please kill a chicken and see if it attracts sharks.” The bodyguard boss looked at the sea map, nodded, and ordered the other bodyguard.

“Yes!” The bodyguard called Sang En picked up a chicken and went to the deck of the yacht. He sliced open the blood vessels on the chicken’s neck, and threw the chicken into the sea.

Although chicken blood flowed out continuously, it soon disappeared due to being diluted by the seawater.

“Boss, the amount of chicken blood seems to be too little. It didn’t seem to work?” said Sang En.

“Well, then kill a few more. Anyway, we have bought excess,” said the boss.

“Yes.” Sang En picked up a few more chickens, slaughtered them and threw them into the sea. “Boss, it’s still not working… Ah, here they are. The sharks are here!”

Sang En had wanted to say that it had not worked, but he saw swarms of sharks swimming towards them from a distance…

The boss took a look. After he confirmed the sharks’ presence, he said, “Hurry up and help me throw these two bodies down!”

“Okay.” Sang En helped the boss drag out the suitcase, and then tossed the bodies of Chen father and son into the sea. By then, the swarm of sharks had arrived, attracted by the smell of blood, and circled around the corpses. The sharks repeatedly devoured the chicken and the corpses of the Chen Father and Son until there were no bones left.

Looking at the vicious sharks, both the boss and Sang En felt a s.h.i.+ver run down their spines.

“Let’s go. Set sail back,” The boss ordered Sang En after he confirmed that both corpses of Chen Father and son were destroyed.

“Yes.” Sang En nodded and went back to set sail. The boss dialed Caique’s phone.

“How’s it going?” Caique asked straight away after answering the phone. He had recognized the caller ID on his phone and knew that the call was from the bodyguard boss.

“Family Master, we have killed the Chen father and son, and thrown their corpses into the sea to feed the sharks. Sang En and I watched the sharks consume their corpses before returning,” The boss reported.

“Very good. Both of you did well.” Caique nodded in praise when he heard that the boss had killed the Chen father and son. “I’ll take note of this incident. Since you have done it well, I won’t treat you badly.”

“Yes, boss!” The boss was happy. After this incident, perhaps the Family Master will regard me as a faithful confidant! As for the unfortunate Chen father and son, they are dead for good.

Caique hung up the call and quickly dialed the number left by Yang Ming. He wanted to inform Yang Ming quickly that he had carried out Yang Ming’s decision.

Yang Ming had just returned to the Song Jiang International Hotel not long ago and the phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

“h.e.l.lo?” Yang Ming answered the phone. “Who are you looking for?”

“Mr. Yang? I’m Caique!” said Caique carefully.

“Oh, Caique, what’s the matter?” Yang Ming could hear that it was Caique’s voice. He did not know what Caique called him for as he had just left.

“Mr. Yang, I have followed your instructions to make the Chen Zhiye and Chen Xiaolong father and son pair disappear forever,” said Caique.

“Disappear forever? What do you mean?” Yang Ming froze.

“I already told my bodyguards to kill them, and threw their corpses into the seas to feed the sharks.” Caique was afraid Yang Ming did not understand and quickly explained.

“Ah? You killed them?” asked Yang Ming suddenly.

“Yeah. Otherwise, should we not have killed them?” Caique was also stunned. Yang Ming’s tone made him apprehensive. Did he misunderstand what Yang Ming meant?
