Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1984: Chapter 1981: Fair-Weather Friends

"Being able to see the truth early counts as a good thing. I’m just the deliverer of the truth." Lin Tian said indifferently.

Zhang Lingyu curled her lips, clearly disagreeing with what he said. Of course, she didn’t know about the photos in Lin Tian’s hands. Lin Tian didn’t show them to anyone; he just waved his hand and walked back into the restaurant.

Relying on the positions he’d pinpointed earlier by sound, Lin Tian went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of a private room. The door opened quickly. The one who opened it was a man who looked like a bodyguard, dressed in a suit and wearing sunglasses.

Looks like this rich second generation also likes putting on a show, Lin Tian laughed to himself.

A lot of rich people go out surrounded by a crowd; without a few sunglasses-wearing bodyguards, they’re embarrassed to even leave the house. But the country is peaceful after all, so many of these "attendants" are just for show and don’t have much combat ability.

The bodyguard sized Lin Tian up and down a few times, then said coldly, "What do you want?"

"I’m looking for Ma Mingcai." Lin Tian said flatly.

The bodyguard frowned, clearly displeased. "Is the young master’s name something you can just call directly? You’re supposed to call him Brother Ma, got it?"

"If he’s Brother Ma, then what are you supposed to call his dad?" Lin Tian’s expression stayed calm.

Seeing Lin Tian still acting so cocky, the bodyguard got even more annoyed and barked, "You got no sense at all. Of course you call him Master Ma!"

"Xiao Gao, what the hell are you yelling about out there? Don’t you know I’m entertaining guests? If it’s someone irrelevant, tell him to get lost." An impatient voice came from inside.

"Yes, Brother Ma." The bodyguard answered very respectfully, then rudely started to drive Lin Tian away. "You hear that? Brother Ma told you to scram, so scram!"

As he spoke, he reached out to shove Lin Tian, but as soon as he pushed, he found it was like pushing against a wall—he couldn’t move him at all. Lin Tian’s face didn’t change; with a wave of his hand, he easily brushed the bodyguard aside and strode straight in.

"Hey, you can’t go in—" The bodyguard stumbled and hit the doorframe, but he didn’t have time to care about the pain and hurried after Lin Tian.

With a few strides Lin Tian stepped into the private room. It was a luxury suite, with a large round dining table, a wine cabinet, and a lounge area. A room like this could easily host twenty people, but there weren’t many inside.

There were four men, and each man had a girl leaning against him. The girls were scantily dressed, with slim waists and big chests, faces full of seduction, while the men all wore expressions of enjoyment.

The men were talking unscrupulously, and their topic of conversation was actually that pair of sisters from just now.

"Brother Ma, you could just force yourself on that Yao Xiaoting. Why bother with so much crap?" A young man in a floral shirt said with a grin to a young man in a red shirt.

Brother Ma narrowed his eyes, looking completely laid‑back. "What do you know? What’s fun about getting her in one go? Take it slow, make her submit, make her willingly offer herself up—that’s where the flavor is."

"Brother Ma, you really have experience. I think that Yao Xiaoke’s pretty nice too. How about we do both..." another young man said lewdly, and the men in the room all burst out laughing.

Mid‑laugh, they noticed there was an extra person in the room, and all of them looked at the newcomer, Lin Tian. The girls, seeing the poised, strikingly handsome Lin Tian, all had their eyes light up and couldn’t stop sizing him up.

The men, however, all frowned. Just then the bodyguard finally staggered in, looking panicked. "Br—Brother Ma, he forced his way in, I...I couldn’t stop him..."

The Brother Ma in the red shirt waved his hand, and the bodyguard looked as if he’d been granted amnesty, hurrying back out. He knew his master intended to personally deal with this reckless young man.

Ma Mingcai didn’t speak. He just sat slanted in his chair, squinting as he sized Lin Tian up. As he looked, his hands didn’t stay idle, roaming over the girl beside him.

The girl let out little moans, her face full of enjoyment, but her eyes were sneaking glances at Lin Tian, as if imagining that the one touching her was him. The others also sized Lin Tian up with great interest, all wearing expressions like they were about to watch a show.

After a long moment, Ma Mingcai smacked his lips and said, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"I’m here to talk about your fiancée." Lin Tian got straight to the point, directly ignoring their stares.

When he heard the words "fiancée," Ma Mingcai’s movements on the girl didn’t stop; instead they became even more brazen. His hand went right inside her clothes—if that pitiful bit of fabric on her could even be called clothes.

"My business is something she’s never meddled in. So who the hell are you to come meddling in my shit? I’ve got a lot of women, so what?" Ma Mingcai pulled the girl into his arms and planted a hard kiss on her, looking very pleased with himself.

Lin Tian raised a finger and wagged it. "No, no, you misunderstood. It’s not about your business; it’s about your fiancée. I’ve got a few photos here you might be interested in."

"Trying to blackmail me? Hmph. Put them up, let everyone have a look." Ma Mingcai was sure his woman wouldn’t dare to do anything out of line, so he didn’t care at all.

"Yeah, don’t think you can extort our Brother Ma. Sister‑in‑law is dignified and virtuous, a good wife who’s done great service for the Ma Family. You want to sow discord between Brother Ma and Sister‑in‑law? I’d say your brain’s busted." The young man in the floral shirt sneered.

Dignified and virtuous? Lin Tian almost burst out laughing. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Since you’re so confident, I’ll grant your wish."

With that, Lin Tian took out his phone, opened the pictures Liu Wenxing had sent, and held them up for everyone to see. As soon as they saw the photos, everyone froze. Then Ma Mingcai’s face flushed a deep red, as if endless fury were being suppressed in his chest.

Lin Tian swiped the screen with his finger and brought up an even more explicit shot. This time everyone’s eyes went wide. Several of the girls even covered their mouths with their hands, faces full of disbelief.

"Brother Ma, this has to be Photoshopped. How could Sister‑in‑law possibly..." The young man in red tried to offer a few words of comfort.

Ma Mingcai roared, "Get out, all of you, get the fuck out!"

The young men and girls all scrambled to their feet, not even bothering to straighten their clothes as they ran out.

Ma Mingcai bellowed again, "Tell the bodyguards to guard the door. Without my say‑so, nobody comes in. And as for what you saw today—anyone who dares to blab, I’ll make sure he keeps his mouth shut for the rest of his life!"

Ma Mingcai could indulge in wine and women all he wanted, but he would never allow his own woman to betray him. Not just him—most men are like that. Before long, the spacious private room held only Lin Tian and Ma Mingcai.

Ma Mingcai stared at Lin Tian, eyes almost spitting fire. It took him a while before he could speak, his voice very dark. "Where did you get those photos?"

"From your vice president’s computer. Of course, I used some technical methods. He doesn’t know." Lin Tian put away his phone and said calmly.

"Vice President Gao Jiang!" Ma Mingcai ground his teeth.

Lin Tian walked over to the sofa and sat down, relaxed. "I think that’s his name. Oh, and I’ve got one of his secret ledgers here."

"Secret ledger? What’s he trying to do?" Ma Mingcai said coldly.

"Obviously, he and your fiancée are planning to siphon off company assets and then run off together." Lin Tian said with a smile.
