Chapter 701: Chapter 423: Weapons, Counter-Kill, Pervert_3

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xianyong’s face turned pale, and Zeng’s father stood up in a daze, raising his hand as if to say something, but it was as though something was stuck in his throat.

“Xian, Xianyong, how does he know so much?”

Disbelief was written all over Zeng’s father’s face, and at the same time, large beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead.

When he had first seen the three attorneys, he had felt a bit panicked, but seeing his son seemingly calm, he managed to suppress it.

But now, even his son couldn’t stay composed, so how could he.

“Don’t sling mud at me! I’ll have you know, I can sue you for libel!” Zeng Xianyong said with feigned toughness but inward trepidation.

With a professional smile, Mao Mingcheng replied: “Facts speak louder than words.”

Zeng Xianyong furrowed his brows, his expression fluctuating, as he picked up his phone and walked out quickly to call a friend.

“Hello, Attorney Zhang, I want to ask about someone… His name is Mao Mingcheng, from Chenlang Law Firm.”

“…..”

“Ah, it’s like this, I’ve had some disputes with my ex-wife recently, and then she hired Mao Mingcheng……”

“…..”

“Ah? You can’t help at all?”

“…..”

“…Is professional status that important……”

Before he could finish, the person on the other end interrupted: “Old Zeng, if you really consider me a friend, can you not mention my name in front of Attorney Mao? Please, I’m begging you!”

Having said that, the person on the other end directly hung up the call.

Zeng Xianyong stood there holding his phone, his heart immediately filled with fear, and his chin began to tremble.

He had guessed that Mao Mingcheng had a high status in the industry, but he didn’t expect him to be a big shot.

This Attorney Zhang was also considered an elite lawyer, but he dared not offend him and even forbid the mention of his name.

Sweat seeped from his back, and Zeng Xianyong involuntarily swallowed twice.

He had made a big mistake, this time a really big one.

…

Inside the Green Bamboo Lake Villa.

Shen Yuan was soaking in the hot spring of the spa room with his eyes slightly closed, letting the warm water flow around his body.

“Comfortable~”

Joining him in the soak was Liew Menglu, who had nothing else to do today and had thought to come over for some action.

“Boss.”

At that moment, Ji Ya knocked on the door of the spa room.

“Come in.”

Shen Yuan opened his eyes.

Ji Ya walked over, handing over 3 A4 sheets of paper: “Boss, these are the bodyguards Su Guodong found based on your requirements.”

“Hmm, let me see.”

Shen Yuan took them and as he looked over, asked, “Do you have any recommendations?”

“I think the second one meets your requirements the best,” Ji Ya said softly.

“Let me take a look.”

Shen Yuan quickly glanced through; in fact, the three resumes were much the same. They were all skilled in firearms and combat, held international driving licenses, and were proficient in foreign languages. Moreover, all three had won awards in fighting or Sanda competitions, which proved their competence.

The second one which Ji Ya recommended, based on the photo, seemed the prettiest, with a wheat-colored healthy complexion and a beautiful braid; her features were delicate and graceful.

The photo showed her in a camouflage uniform, exuding a gallant air.

“So you recommend her just because she’s the prettiest?” Shen Yuan asked.

“Yes,” Ji Ya nodded.

“Vulgar, too vulgar!”

Shen Yuan tossed the resume back to Ji Ya: “You, oh you, are just obsessed with appearances. Is hiring a bodyguard only about looks? What about professional competence? What about character?”

Ji Ya’s face flushed with embarrassment, thinking to herself that this was the boss’s own requirement, so how did it become a vulgarity on her part?

Besides, if their abilities were similar, of course she’d choose the pretty one!

“If you don’t like the second one, should I arrange for number one and three to come for an interview?” Ji Ya asked, feeling wronged.

Shen Yuan looked up and said, “I told you, quality is what I value when hiring a bodyguard, and the quality of numbers one and three is not quite right.”

Ji Ya was stunned for a couple of seconds before she caught on and was almost choked with indignation. After all that, he just wanted to interview number two.

And he called me vulgar? Who is really the vulgar one!

But in such a situation, she still needed to keep the boss happy, so she bowed her head and said in a tone of self-reflection, “Boss, it’s my fault; I didn’t see the quality in their resumes. I’ll introspect and correct it next time.”

“That’s more like it. Go on, then,” Shen Yuan waved his hand.

“Honey, you’re so naughty, you’re lustful and yet you make Ji Ya take the blame for you,” Liew Menglu teased as she hooked Shen Yuan’s leg with her toes in the water, giving him a languid, affectionate gaze.

The roughly 40-degree Celsius hot spring had long turned her cheeks a rosy red, especially with the crystal clear water droplets hanging on her cheeks, making her look exceptionally enticing.

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows: “Who’s lustful? Do you have no self-awareness of why you came here today?”
