Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1985: Chapter 1982: Master Ma

"Impossible! She has rendered great service to the Ma Family." Ma Mingcai sternly denied, refusing to believe what Lin Tian said.

Lin Tian let out a cold laugh. "I might not know what service she rendered, but it was probably just to gain the Ma Family’s trust and seek greater benefits. If a person can betray, what else is impossible? You don’t have to believe me; you can check it yourself."

Ma Mingcai’s eyes flickered, seemingly recalling something, and finally, he plopped down on the sofa with suppressed anger and frustration in his eyes, but not sadness.

"Did you remember something?" Lin Tian said indifferently.

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, causing Ma Mingcai’s anger to surge once more. He clenched his fists tightly, trembling all over from the extreme suppression of his rage.

"Ah!" Ma Mingcai roared like a raging beast, hitting the coffee table with a punch, then grabbed the edges and lifted it with force. The lightweight table flipped over, smashing to the ground with a crash as the tempered glass shattered everywhere.

Even after smashing the table, his anger didn’t dissipate. He panted heavily, scanning the room for something else to destroy. Seeing the dining table, he rushed over a few steps and grabbed the edge, giving it a hard lift.

He then awkwardly realized he couldn’t move the dining table. A luxurious dining table was not as easy to flip as a coffee table; it’s not something an ordinary person could casually lift.

Unable to move the dining table, Ma Mingcai had to vent his anger on the food and drinks on the table, like a bottle of fine red wine, which he threw at the large-screen TV. With a pop, the wine bottle shattered, and red wine trickled down the TV, spreading everywhere, while the TV screen cracked.

Bang bang bang... A series of shattering sounds followed as the plates on the table flew out one by one. Soon, Ma Mingcai smashed all the plates, leaving the room in a mess with scattered food and wine.

Lin Tian sat quietly on the sofa, watching him go mad as Ma Mingcai went from suppression to explosion, even brutality. Betrayal made him lose his rationality temporarily.

After even the last vase was smashed, Ma Mingcai finally stopped, standing there, panting heavily, not just from exhaustion but also because his anger hadn’t subsided.

A usually carefree rich second-generation was now deeply provoked by being cuckolded by his fiancée, who conspired with another man against the Ma Family’s assets.

"You’re not stupid; you didn’t rush to confront your fiancée and that Vice President right away." Lin Tian said as he calmed down.

"I may enjoy having fun, but that doesn’t mean I’m an idiot. Rushing to confront them now would only alert them and make the Ma Family’s loss irreparable." Ma Mingcai said through gritted teeth.

His eyes flickered again as he scrutinized Lin Tian for a good ten seconds before saying, "You’re not from around here. Who exactly are you, and what’s your purpose?"

"I’m afraid you can’t make the decision on my demand. I’d suggest bringing in someone who can." Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to discuss with him, as it would eventually require the man behind the curtain, Master Ma, who was also Ma Mingcai’s father, to show up.

Lin Tian was so arrogant that Ma Mingcai gritted his teeth again, nearly losing his temper, but he held back, reaching for his phone, only to find that his phone had been smashed on the floor during his earlier outburst.

"Xiao Gao, get in here!" Ma Mingcai yelled towards the outside.

Soon, a bodyguard came in, but he was startled, his face changed as he saw the mess. Seeing the bodyguard still wearing sunglasses, Ma Mingcai grabbed them and threw them on the ground. "Stop trying to look cool!"

The bodyguard looked pained and aggrieved, thinking, this was your idea, like in the movies to look impressive, but he dared not complain.

"Hurry, call my dad right away, tell him if he doesn’t want the Ma Family to go bankrupt, he should come to the villa immediately!" Ma Mingcai almost commanded with a roar.

"Alright, alright..." The bodyguard nervously took out his phone and went outside, probably to greet the boss. After making the call, the bodyguard didn’t return to the room.

Less than half an hour later, hurried footsteps were heard in the hallway, and a middle-aged chubby man walked in. He slipped on some leftovers on the floor and almost fell.

After steadying himself and taking in the situation in the room, the middle-aged man’s face turned extremely unpleasant. He had a round, beardless face, like a freshly steamed bun.

He wore a white shirt stretched out of shape by his bulging belly, with all the look of a nouveau riche, though there was a glimmer of business acumen in his eyes.

"Son, what’s going on here?" The middle-aged man asked sternly, his eyes sweeping over Lin Tian on the sofa.

"Sally betrayed me, betrayed the Ma Family, and conspired with that Vice President against our assets..." Ma Mingcai reported to the middle-aged man, who the bodyguard referred to as Master Ma.

After listening to Ma Mingcai’s account, the middle-aged man’s face was very unpleasant, but unlike his son, he didn’t throw a tantrum, as he had weathered more storms than his son.

The middle-aged man walked to the sofa and sat across from Lin Tian, probing, "Why should I believe you?"

Although Ma Mingcai didn’t question it earlier, the middle-aged man raised a doubt.

Before Lin Tian could answer, Ma Mingcai walked over with his head down, stammering, "Dad... A month ago, Sally brought a project asking me to sign off for funds. At the time, the company didn’t have that much liquidity, so I approved the financing loan."

"How much did you loan? Why didn’t I know?" The middle-aged man asked, frowning.

"Five million, the collateral was the Xianlin Villa. You were abroad at the time, and I was the company’s acting CEO, so I had the authority to sign." Ma Mingcai replied softly, avoiding eye contact, as if something was left unsaid.

The middle-aged man exhaled, saying, "At least it’s only five million; I still have connections at the bank..."

However, before he could finish, Ma Mingcai added another line, "No... not the bank, it was high... high... interest... loan." He said this with a lack of confidence.

"What!" The middle-aged man’s eyes widened as he slapped Ma Mingcai’s face, cursing loudly, "Are you fucking insane, daring to touch those things!"

Ma Mingcai covered his face, feeling aggrieved, "I... I only borrowed five million, didn’t you borrow ten million before without any issue?"

"Just five million, you say? Before, I had people in those circles, assets were looser, and even if something went wrong, I could repay it. Can you repay it now? Go ask your fiancée for the money!" The middle-aged man was so angry he nearly fainted.

"I... I thought investing in real estate would yield quick returns, shouldn’t be a loss. Thinking back now, that five million must have been swallowed by Sally." Ma Mingcai got more scared the more he thought about it.

"Do you not even know if the money was invested in the project?" The middle-aged man frowned deeply.

Ma Mingcai didn’t dare to meet his father’s gaze. "Sally rendered great service to the Ma Family; there wasn’t... wasn’t a need to scrutinize every project, wasn’t it? There were a lot of projects you didn’t oversee before."

"That woman is ruthless!" The middle-aged man’s face turned gloomy.

"Boss Ma, now that you understand the situation, let’s discuss our business." Lin Tian spoke faintly, seeing that the time was about right.
