The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 66 - Misunderstanding
66: Chapter 66 Misunderstanding
66 -66 Misunderstanding
At the south street corner, Bald Nie was playing a drinking game with a bunch of people at a barbecue stall.
His phone rang, and he took it out to look, surprisingly it was a WeChat message from Long Fei.
Long Fei’s profile picture was a selfie from his rental place.
He was not good at choosing WeChat names, so he simply used his real name, Long Fei.
Bald Nie’s hand trembled, and he shouted to the crowd, “Damn, speak of the devil and he shall appear!”
A middle-aged man with a shaved head and bare arms, wearing a thick chain necklace, frowned at Bald Nie and said, “Are you talking about that kid?”
Bald Nie opened WeChat to have a look, then smiled at him, “Yeah, exactly that dumbass.
He wants to have drinks with me, asking for help in speaking to the captain.”
“Turns out we don’t even need to bother looking for him!”
The bald-headed man laughed heartily while smoking a cigarette.
He and Bald Nie together, two bald heads, made the area around the table very bright.
Bald Nie turned to him and said, “Brother Ma, let’s stick to the plan we just talked about.
You handle this kid, and we’ll take care of the inside of the building.
Once it’s done, you’ll get a share.
Even if a crime is committed, you know you’ve had a beef with this kid, nothing to do with this case.”
The bald-headed man was none other than Ma Kui.
With technology advancing, it was getting harder and harder to make a living on the fringes.
If he wasn’t short on cash, he wouldn’t be doing this sort of grunt work for someone else.
He raised his glass to Bald Nie and said, “Then, here’s to brother’s smooth sailing!”
“Cheers!”
The group raised their glasses, and after drinking, Bald Nie replied to Long Fei’s WeChat, “We are on the night shift tomorrow, come find me after 11 PM.
Then, let’s go out for a good drink!”
“Okay, thanks, Brother Nie!”
Long Fei replied quickly.
Bald Nie smiled darkly, put away his phone, and set out with Ma Kui and the Zhang brothers, Lei and Bing, towards the company, looking for a place to start their operation.
Originally, they hadn’t settled on a time for the theft.
After Long Fei’s blunder, Bald Nie decided to act sooner, setting the burglary for Sunday night.
Sunday is the day shift security swaps with the night shift.
Nobody works during the day, making the nighttime heist more convenient.
At that time, they would take the cash from the finance office and leave Long Fei inside.
When the police arrived, they wouldn’t be able to find out anything for a while.
They would take the money and make a run for it.
For Bald Nie, this plan was truly a stroke of genius; sitting in the car, he even started to feel like a grand bandit of the high seas.
Having received his WeChat, Long Fei finally felt at ease.
He figured, since Bald Nie specifically set the time after eleven, it must be when they’re making their move.
If they wanted to lie in wait, Long Fei would give them a taste of their own medicine.
He got in bed, about to turn off the lights and sleep.
Suddenly WeChat buzzed, Wang Xiaoya had sent a message, “Are you asleep?”
“About to!”
Long Fei replied.
Wang Xiaoya sent back, “Do you have plans tomorrow?”
Long Fei asked, “I’m free, you got something?”
Wang Xiaoya sent back a sweating emoji followed by, “I’ve got nothing, you big blockhead!”
After that, she went silent.
Long Fei held his phone in confusion, not sure what she was implying.
Wang Xiaoya on the other end was inwardly frustrated to death, pouting her small mouth.
What else could her issue be?
She just wanted Long Fei to take the initiative to ask her out.
A girl like her couldn’t always be the one asking out a guy.
Who knew that Long Fei, this blockhead, no matter how much she hinted, he just wouldn’t get it.
Wang Xiaoya turned off her phone, thinking she might as well stay obediently at home and do laundry tomorrow!
Always being the one to approach Long Fei made it seem like she couldn’t get married off.
After daybreak, Long Fei got up early.
Unlike usual, he climbed the stairs to the rooftop of the third floor and stood there practicing the Breathing Technique.
Yesterday, Old Master Zhou had taught him some basic skills.
The first was the technique of exhaling and inhaling.
With the sun just rising, it was the time when Yin and Yang alternated.
According to Old Master Zhou, at this moment, nature’s spiritual energy was perfectly balanced.
Neither Yin nor Yang, neither cold nor hot.
These two periods were the best times for practicing breathing for the benefit of one’s health.
With his eyes closed and shirtless, wearing only a pair of large underpants, he stood atop the rooftop, continuously raising and lowering his hands, inhaling and exhaling.
He Yan came out with her daughter, as Sunday was the day to take the little one to her training classes.
Little Tiantian, with keen eyes, looked up and saw Long Fei, and hurriedly shouted, “Mom, look, Uncle Long Fei is going to jump off the building!”
He Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked up.
Long Fei stood at the edge of the roof, with an expression of utter indifference, which scared He Yan to death.
She quickly shouted, “Long Fei, what are you doing?
Come down quickly!”
Long Fei was immersed in a state of etherealness, experiencing the sensation of breathing in and out for the first time, and was quite curious about it.
Hence, he did not hear the noise around him.
In the Daoist Sect, this is called entering a state of meditation.
Seeing that he gave no response, He Yan was so frightened that she asked Little Tiantian to wait below.
She climbed up the stairs and after reaching the rooftop, suddenly hugged Long Fei from behind.
A man’s broad back pressed tightly against her body.
This was her first embrace with a man other than her ex-husband, and so close at that, plus the man wasn’t even wearing a shirt.
Her heart pounded wildly, but there was no time to think about anything else as she hugged Long Fei, frantically stepping backward,
Long Fei felt something soft behind him and suddenly opened his eyes to see that it was He Yan hugging him.
Embarrassed, he quickly asked, “Sister Yan, what are you doing?”
So early in the morning, He Yan was interacting with such impulsivity.
Long Fei’s mind whirled, thinking that a divorced woman, lonely and cold, would not surprisingly have these needs.
Since he hadn’t yet married his CEO wife, it wouldn’t count as infidelity now.
If He Yan truly needed it, he would oblige.
To his surprise, He Yan let go of him and scolded him, “And you’re asking me?
What are you doing on the rooftop so early in the morning!
So young, and yet you seek death?”
Long Fei saw her anxious expression and realized that Sister Yan had misunderstood that he wanted to jump off the building.
He touched his head and chuckled awkwardly, “Sister Yan, you’ve got it wrong.
I’m practicing here, not seeking death!”
“Practicing?”
He Yan’s face turned red as she flicked her long hair and asked, “What kind of practice?”
Long Fei briefly explained, “It’s the Breathing Technique, an Internal Kung Fu, commonly known as Qigong!”
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it had all been a misunderstanding.
Flushing, she quickly said, “Then you continue your practice.
I need to take Tiantian to her class!”
Long Fei waved goodbye to her with a sheepish smile.
Having been held so tightly by her just now, he felt a little agitated.
He Yan wasn’t much better off, her heart racing as she hurriedly left with her daughter after reaching the ground floor.
Long Fei calmed the agitation within him and closed his eyes to continue practicing breathing.
After the sun had completely risen, Long Fei paid special attention to the feeling.
The surrounding spiritual energy was indeed much more restless than before, creating a fiery sensation when absorbed into his belly.
He quickly raised his hand to end the practice, thinking that the best time for the Breathing Technique was between 5:30 and 7:30 in the morning.
After this time, nature’s spiritual energy would become unbalanced.
