39: Is this bodyguard legitimate?

Treasure Pavilion.

Lilac wasn't fooled; instead, her face showed caution.

"You... want to trick me again?"

Chen Yang looked completely innocent.

"What are you talking about?"

"When... have I ever tricked you?"

Lilac tilted her head.

She thought carefully... it seemed he really hadn't.

But why—

Do I always feel like he's constantly tricking me?

She stamped her foot.

"I don't care, you're just a bad person!"

Chen Yang cackled strangely.

"Oh?... I'm a bad person?"

"Little sister, you're wrong... when I'm bad, I'm not even human!"

Lilac's face suddenly flushed, not knowing what she had thought of.

Chen Yang's expression changed again, and he shook his head, saying:

"Women, ah, there's really no reasoning with them!"

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you!"

He raised a hand and took out a scroll.

"Look, how much is this worth?"

Lilac took the scroll.

She placed it on the desk and slowly unrolled it.

The expression on her face...

Changed from indifference to seriousness.

Then to doubt, and finally, to shock!

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a famous painting and calligraphy, and it's from the Song Dynasty!"

Chen Yang crossed his legs.

"I don't care about that!"

"Just tell me, how much is it worth?"

Lilac lowered her head again and meticulously examined it with a magnifying glass.

"8 million, how about that?"

Chen Yang pondered for a moment.

He slapped his thigh.

"Good! Deal!"

The transaction was settled immediately.

"Ding-dong!"

Chen Yang received a bank transfer notification.

His total assets surged to 9.8 million.

After the transaction, Chen Yang turned and left.

Lilac followed behind him.

Asking:

"Do you have any more good items?"

"Remember to sell them to our Treasure Pavilion; the price is negotiable."

Chen Yang waved his hand, saying nothing.

Lilac watched his retreating figure, her eyes a little dazed.

This guy...

What kind of methods does he have?

Finding bargains is like picking up stones.

Casually, he finds a huge bargain!

Chen Yang secretly calculated.

In his Portable Space, there were still eleven paintings and calligraphies.

However...

He couldn't take them all out at once.

Not only would it easily arouse suspicion, but it would also cause market shock and price depreciation.

It wouldn't be worth it.

It's better to sell them one by one, spaced out over time.

Slow and steady wins the race, and life is long.

Sitting in the wrangler.

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then dialed Liu Sisi's number.

Actually...

From his heart, he didn't want to dial this number at all.

Last time, after saving Liu Sisi, intelligence triggered, saying she was being harassed by a Second-generation rich heir.

Chen Yang had sent a message, kindly reminding her.

As a result...

Liu Sisi didn't reply to a single message.

Big stars sure have big airs!

Was there any need to bother with such a person?

For the sake of points, Chen Yang had no choice but to call again.

"Hello, Chen Yang? Is that you?"

Liu Sisi's pleasant voice came through the receiver.

Chen Yang's heart warmed slightly.

It was rare for Heavenly Queen Liu to still remember his name.

"It's me, Chen Yang!"

"Hello! Is there something you need?"

Liu Sisi's tone was a little tired.

"I heard you've been having some trouble lately. If you need anything, you can always find me."

Chen Yang's voice was calm.

I've extended my goodwill; whether you accept it or not is your business.

If you think I'm trying to climb the social ladder, I'm sorry.

Goodbye!

I really don't mean that.

Liu Sisi sat in the dressing room, tears suddenly streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Wuwu..."

"I'm sorry... I didn't reply to your message last time!"

"I've gotten into big trouble recently and didn't want to drag you into it, so..."

Chen Yang's heart softened.

His voice also became much gentler.

"Are you doing alright now?"

"Where are you? Do you want me to come see you?"

Liu Sisi thought for a moment.

Now, besides Chen Yang, she really didn't know who else she could ask for help.

"I'm on the 22nd floor of Tianfu Building. I had an advertisement to shoot today, but... it's been canceled now."

Chen Yang said decisively:

"Wait for me for 20 minutes."

Chen Yang immediately started the wrangler and sped towards Tianfu Building like the wind.

"Ding!"

"Gained 10 points, current cumulative points: 930 points."

"Keep up the good work!"

This piece of intelligence was successfully utilized.

The subsequent services were all free.

When Chen Yang saw Liu Sisi.

Beside her, there was only a small assistant named Xiao Yue.

A charming and lovely girl.

In the lounge.

Liu Sisi asked Xiao Yue to wait outside for a while, which was actually to stand guard and keep watch.

The current Liu Sisi...

On the internet, there was an overwhelming amount of negative news.

In reality, various paparazzi and tabloid reporters were like cats smelling fish.

Staring intently, omnipresent.

If she wasn't careful with secrecy, tomorrow's trending topic might be:

"Heavenly Queen Liu secretly meets mysterious man, suspected of being kept by a rich tycoon!"

"Big star Liu Sisi keeps a young man, booked a room in a certain hotel!"

"Singer Liu Sisi's underground lover exposed, promiscuous image, subverting three views!"

...Such things, infuriating!

..."Are you alright?"

Looking at Liu Sisi's haggard appearance, Chen Yang asked softly.

"Sigh..."

Liu Sisi sighed deeply.

"Last time, as you saw, I almost got hit by a car."

"These past few days, all kinds of slander and defamation have been used to the extreme."

"Although I used a lot of connections, the other party is wealthy and powerful."

"How could a small artist like me be their match?"

"Just now, the advertising cooperation that had just been finalized was ruined again!"

"I estimate that in a while, I won't be able to take on any work and will only be able to live off my savings."

Chen Yang clenched his fists and couldn't help but ask:

"Who exactly is it? What does he want to do?"

Liu Sisi's expression was dim, without a trace of courage to resist.

"The other party is the top wealthy young master in Jiangnan Province, a super Second-generation rich heir."

"He's not someone ordinary people like us can afford to offend."

"At a banquet back then, I didn't drink with him."

"Afterward, he hinted that if I slept with him for one night, the conflict could be resolved."

"Unfortunately, I didn't agree, and now, it has led to these consequences."

Chen Yang cursed inwardly.

Just because she didn't toast him, he wanted to take her body.

If she refused, he would torment her to death.

Is this the character of a young master from a wealthy family?

At this moment, Chen Yang...

Really had an impulse!

To go to his door, slap him twice directly, and step on him.

Ask him why he's so arrogant?

Why he's so rampant?

Unfortunately...

The current Chen Yang was still very green.

Assets in the tens of millions, the strength of a beginner Soldier King, and the identity of an unemployed wanderer.

What could he use to confront him head-on?

The other person could just move a little finger, and with one word...

They could crush him to death!

"Now, is there anything I can help with?"

Chen Yang asked with a lack of confidence.

Liu Sisi pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Yang.

"Among the people who have been watching me lately, many street thugs have been added. I'm afraid these people will harm me."

"I don't trust anyone else."

"Can you protect me and be my personal bodyguard?"

Chen Yang was stunned.

"What? Bodyguard?"

Are you kidding? What can I do to be your bodyguard?

Besides, why does it have to be personal?

The next second...

He quickly waved his hand.

"No! No!"

"I can't be a bodyguard!"

Liu Sisi sighed, not forcing the issue.

"Yes, with me in this state, whoever gets involved with me will be unlucky."

"I... shouldn't drag you into this!"

Chen Yang looked at her lonely and helpless appearance, feeling very sympathetic.

"You can't hire professional bodyguards or some experts?"

Liu Sisi's expression was bleak.

"I hired them, but it was useless."

"Within a week, they were either bought off or threatened."

"Now I don't even dare to hire them anymore."

"Within three days, nine out of ten, they will become his people."

Chen Yang was very surprised.

This Second-generation rich heir is too amazing, isn't he?

Not only does he have money, but his methods are also powerful.

Who the hell... can beat him?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll also be bought off?"

Liu Sisi didn't answer his question.

Instead, her eyes were fixed on Chen Yang's, unblinking.

"Will you be bought off?"

Chen Yang shook his head, feigning nonchalance.

"That's hard to say, money moves hearts!"

"Maybe if they throw a million or so at me, I'll turn my gun around."

Liu Sisi, however, shook her head.

Her tone was inexplicably certain.

"You won't!"

Chen Yang was very surprised and curious.

In the face of money...

How many people would dare to pat their chests and say "no"?

"Why are you so sure?"
