The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard

Ye Tian sat quietly, while Yu Xiao continued by his side. She was offering prayers for Xiao Yi's soul, and he knew it.

Could all of this really be as Yu Xiao said? Is there truly such a thing as karmic reincarnation? If so, he hoped that in heaven they could hasten the resolution of this matter.

Bai Yanwu thought that since Xiao Yi was gone, everything should have started after his affairs were settled. She realized she had overestimated their patience.

"Miss," the person Xiao Yi trusted more now was named Chen An, the one who went to notify Ye Tian yesterday, "Brother's men are waiting for you now."

"Now?" Bai Yanwu was surprised, "Brother just passed away, and they already have news?"

"Yes." Chen An forced a bitter smile, "No matter what we do, there seems to be someone already on top of it."

"Do I have to go see them now?"

After Xiao Yi consolidated the city's underworld forces, he named it Baixiao Gang. Moreover, he had purchased Bai Shi's old villa, but never lived there; he only used it as a gathering place for the gang.

Bai Yanwu didn't want to see her home turned into a meeting place for others. She had once thought that Xiao Yi would respect Bai Shi enough to, if not live there, at least preserve it well, but she hadn't expected...

"Miss, I know you don't want to go now, but the situation is unstable at the moment. They already have other ideas knowing Brother was seriously injured. If you don't go now..." Chen An said awkwardly.

"Fine! Then I'll go. You go and inform Ye Tian for me."

"Should he show up now?"

"As you said, what we do is transparent, which means they all know my brother wanted Ye Tian to take over the gang. How could such a thing be concealed?" Bai Yanwu was merely a girl well-protected by Bai Shi; she didn't even know what to say when facing those people.

Even if Xiao Yi told her that Chen An could be trusted, Bai Yanwu still didn't think so. Chen An's loyalty was to Xiao Yi, but what about to her? Bai Yanwu didn't believe that this man would continue to be loyal after Xiao Yi's death.

Human nature is always greedy.

"Alright then." Chen An knew Bai Yanwu didn't trust him. After all, her status was one many refused to acknowledge.

Bai Yanwu settled Xiao Yi's affairs at the hospital, then took a car to the gathering place.

It was painful for her to see the house she had lived in for so many years now belonging to someone else.

Upon entering, sure enough, eight people were waiting, now arguably the managers of Baixiao Gang, and all seniors. Among them, three had originally followed Bai Shi.

Bai Yanwu looked at these three men with complex emotions. When Bai Shi had troubles back then, she had to beg humbly, and the words they spoke were something she would never forget in her life.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhao, you three are here as well? Is it any different now at the Bai Family from when my father was still around?" Bai Yanwu originally thought she would be frightened upon seeing them. Only now did she realize that when you truly face someone, no matter who it is, as long as you're facing them, there is no fear.

Wang Yan, Zhang Ming, and Zhao Ming, none of them had expected Bai Yanwu would come.

"This is a place for men to discuss matters; don't meddle unnecessarily as a girl." In the end, it was Zhao Ming who spoke up, but his words were nothing more than driving her away.

"I'm afraid that's not for you to decide. My elder brother handed over that chair to me on his deathbed!" Bai Yanwu pointed her finger to the main seat surrounding the table.

"That's impossible, wasn't it said to be given to Ye Tian?" Wang Yan was the least able to keep his cool.

"Yes, Uncle Wang, but in the end, it was decided to give it to me. After all, Ye Tian has no relation to our Bai Family, and my brother was worried that some people would refuse to accept it, so he gave it to me."

"What's a woman like you meddling for? Do you even know what to do?"

"Chen An will tell me, and Ye Tian has already agreed to help me at my brother's request."

"We won't agree to this." Someone quickly spoke up; it was one of Chen Yuan's former subordinates, now the one who wanted to break away and was causing a big fuss. This person was called Chen Yong, allegedly some kind of cousin to the Chen family.

On the road, Chen An had already described the current situation to Bai Yanwu in the simplest of terms.

There were a total of eight people in the room, three of whom were previously under Bai Shi's command, namely Wang Yan, Zhao Ming, and Zhang Ming who made it tough for Bai Yanwu right when she entered.

In fact, even when Bai Shi was alive, they had many dissatisfactions with this boss, but it was Bai Shi's placing of his own trusted people in all the key positions that kept him on top. If not for that person's secret help, perhaps Bai Shi would still be the boss.

Although Bai Shi's death did not benefit them, under such a person's wings, they still felt stifled.

After Xiao Yi had cleared the city's forces, the first thing he did was to clear these old timers out of the mountains.

The three couldn't quite grasp Xiao Yi's thoughts, but in the end, they agreed.

The recently vocal opponent, Chen Yong, was Chen Yuan's man, but not a trusted confidant. After the Chen family siblings' incident, this person wanted to incorporate the Chen family's power into his own domain, but sadly Xiao Yi intervened, leaving Chen Yong no choice but to bow his head.

Ever since Chen Yong knew about Xiao Yi's incident, he began to make moves, wanting to quickly disperse this new gang. Even if he couldn't take over everything, there's an old saying 'better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a cow', isn't there?

Seeing his goal almost within reach, and now Bai Yanwu appearing out of nowhere, how could Chen Yong possibly agree?

"Chen Yong, is it? You were the happiest when my brother met his fate, right? Rest assured, whether you agree or not, I'm already seated in this position. The Chen family's glory days are over!" Bai Yanwu tilted her head as she looked at Chen Yong.

"What do you think you are? A woman who's been slept with, yet still so arrogant!" Chen Yong sneered, thinking back to when Bai Yanwu was captured by Chen Yuan. If it hadn't been for Chen Yuan's protection, she probably wouldn't be any better than the women on the streets.

"Yes! You're right! What means do you have after all? Just some brute strength. Nowadays, what's crucial is not just strength but brains too! How come you're just as brainless as that fatso Chen Guang!" Bai Yanwu ridiculed Chen Yong.

Ye Tian had reached the doorway, watching Bai Yanwu verbally spar with a group of men, feeling he saw a different side of her. This woman was truly extraordinary, to remain so calm in the face of such people. What he didn't see was Bai Yanwu's palms already drenched with sweat.

The remaining four were Zhang Lei, Qian Peng, Du Bin, and Huang Bo. Of these, two jesters, Zhang Lei and Qian Peng, came from other gangs, while the remaining two, like Chen An, had always been by Xiao Yi's side.

"But, I still have my doubts. You claim Xiao Yi is Old Mr. Baishi's son, but is it true? We've heard he seems quite fond of you. There's nothing indecent between you two, right?" Zhang Lei asked.

"Whether or not you gentlemen are clear on the drama, as for the matter between my brother and me, we originally didn't know we were siblings. He's not married, I'm not married; even if we truly had feelings, it would be quite normal."

"Really?" Zhang Lei didn't believe it was as Bai Yanwu said, hearing only rumors without ever seeing them together, so many details remained unclear.
