My Arrogant Young Lady
Page 181
I was really bored, so I thought for a moment and said to the pretty girl, "Do you have anyone who isn't busy? I want to learn Korean."
“Everyone at the company is very busy. But spending time with you is also part of my job. If you don’t mind, I can teach you Korean,” the beautiful woman smiled.
"Okay." I nodded gently.
Since I had nothing to do while staying with Lee Tae-hee, I started learning Korean from her assistant. Only now do I understand An Yao's good intentions. If I had known things would turn out like this, I would be traveling to several countries. I should have just studied languages with her back then. Sigh. I wasted so much time before.
I had learned a little Korean from An Yao before, but I forgot it almost immediately. Now, I'm surrounded by Koreans, and it would be too difficult to communicate with them if I didn't know a few words. Forced by this environment, I've managed to learn a few words of Korean by evening. When I see something, I ask her assistant what it is. After the assistant tells me in Korean, I repeat it silently in my mind until I memorize it.
"Mr. Nice Guy, there's a company party tonight, it's a promotional event for our company's health products. Would you like to come?" After Li Taixi got off work, she walked into the conference room with a smile and asked me.
"Yes." I nodded gently.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lee Tae-hee smiled apologetically at me, and then led me out of the company.
After we left her company, she took me to one of her apartments near the office. It was a large, duplex apartment, clean and tidy, like her home. After letting me rest for a while, Lee Tae-hee went to the bathroom. She closed the door, and after a while, the sound of running water came from inside.
Then it dawned on me. Kim Sang-woo had made me Lee Tae-hee's bodyguard; I might have to protect him 24/7. Damn it, I'm so handsome, what if something happens between me and Lee Tae-hee? Does Kim Sang-woo think I'm ugly, or does he think he's too handsome and confident? He actually sent a killer he just met to protect the girl he likes.
Perhaps Kim Sang-woo was genuinely confident. After all, he was the head of South Korea's largest gang. He was confident that if I dared to do anything to Lee Tae-hee, he would tear me to pieces.
But Lee Tae-hee is truly remarkable. Exquisitely beautiful, she possesses a unique charm characteristic of mature women. And she doesn't look very old, probably only around twenty-two. To be the CEO of a large corporation at only twenty-two, she must not only have genuine talent, but her father must also be a very powerful figure. A high-society lady paired with a mafia boss—it does seem quite fitting. Kim Sang-woo has sacrificed a lot for Lee Tae-hee; he seems determined to marry her, the kind of man who won't marry anyone else.
So, how are things going with Wang Yu and the others? All I know is that Aurora's headquarters are in South Korea, and I haven't seen any sign of Aurora yet. Have they found Aurora? After all, Wang Yu and I still have a bet.
"Wang Yuebai, are you sure Aurora's headquarters are in New Delhi?" Sitting in a restaurant in a bustling downtown area of New Delhi, watching tuk-tuks drive by and Indian men walk around under the scorching sun, Wang Yu's expression gradually turned impatient as he unbuttoned his Zhongshan suit.
“Yes, this is the location Aurora gave me. I’ve been in contact with them for three years; they wouldn’t lie to me.” Touching the fresh wound on his face, Wang Yuebai was terrified. This Wang Yu looked down on the mole and had beaten him up quite a few times in the past two days. And they had just been to Ho Chi Minh City yesterday, and today they were tormented by Aurora’s people and brought all the way to New Delhi.
Stealing a glance at Wang Yu, Wang Yuebai's fear grew. Sure enough, no sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Yu kicked him to the ground on the street outside. "A traitor, indeed, is the most despised. Didn't you realize Aurora doesn't trust you at all? They're deliberately playing us, deliberately leading us in circles!"
"Seventh Prince, spare me! Seventh Prince, spare me! I didn't know the aurora was playing tricks on us, I really didn't know..." After saying this, Wang Yuebai burst into tears.
"Seventh Prince, it seems Aurora is indeed cunning. They must know that the fact that my father and I are traitors has been exposed. What should we do?" Wang Huan had already realized that playing tricks on Wang Yu would bring absolutely no benefit. It was better to be honest and behave obediently around Wang Yu.
Just as Wang Yu had imagined, Wang Yu didn't hit him. He merely glanced coldly at the Onmyoji beside him, who immediately smiled and whispered a few words of Japanese in Wang Yu's ear.
"You two good-for-nothings!" Wang Yu glared fiercely at Wang Yuebai and his son Wang Huan, then stood up and walked towards the main street.
"Seventh Prince, where are we going?" Wang Yuebai quickly got up and asked cautiously from behind.
"Let's go to Seoul!"
Chapter 297 Being Chased by a Mysterious Man
Wearing an expensive evening gown, Lee Tae-hee looked even more exquisite and beautiful. Her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore light makeup. She perfectly embodied the saying that women become more beautiful with makeup. Lee Tae-hee was already strikingly beautiful, but after bringing me to the company's new product launch party, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
She didn't seem proud; she simply smiled and chatted warmly with those who greeted her. Even I couldn't help but feel a little flutter in my heart when I glanced at Lee Tae-hee's slender, fair back. I thought to myself, "Kim Sang-woo certainly has good taste; the girl he likes is a real beauty."
Unfortunately, there are too many beautiful women in the world, and I can't possibly possess them all. Besides, Lee Tae-hee is the woman Kim Sang-woo likes, and since he trusts me so much, I should protect her well. Lee Tae-hee is beautiful; I only need to quietly admire her. Hee-er is waiting for me at home; I will finish my mission as soon as possible and return home to be with her.
"Hello. Are you a new employee at our company?" As I walked to a table and picked up a glass of red wine to sip, a pretty girl (about 6 out of 10) came over to greet me. Surprisingly, I realized I had attracted a beautiful woman.
I spent the whole day at Lee Tae-hee's company and often heard them say "company," "employee," and "hello" in Korean, so I understood her as soon as this beautiful woman spoke to me. Then, in broken Korean, I said to her, "Yes, but I'm a bodyguard, Lee Eun-hee's bodyguard."
"Oh, I see." Upon hearing that I was Lee Tae-hee's bodyguard, the girl actually smiled politely and left.
Damn, these foreign girls are so materialistic. Back when I was in the provincial capital, countless seven-point beauties would cling to me every day, I couldn't get rid of them. Now, look at me, the moment she heard I was a bodyguard, she completely ignored me. Just you wait, if Li Taixi's company does well, I'll buy it out and play the domineering CEO, scare her to death!
It wasn't very interesting, so I just held my wine glass and started fantasizing in my mind. I looked at the beautiful women passing by and mentally rated them.
If beauty could be rated on a scale of 1 to 10, then Xi'er, Wang Che, An Yao, and Tong Jia Ling'er would all be 10 points. Next are Liu Li and Long Yun, whom I'd give 9.5 points, since they're still young. Following them are Tang Ning, Zhang Shixue, Shan Shan, and Zhang Xuan, whom I'd give 9 points each. I won't comment on the rest; I'm constantly meeting new beauties, and there are some I can't even remember.
As for Lee Tae-hee, she's a different type of beauty compared to Xi'er, Wang Che, An Yao, and Tong Jialing'er. I'd give her a 10/10 when she's wearing makeup, and a 9.5/10 when she's not. She's quite good; being with Lee Tae-hee is very pleasing to the eye.
As more and more high-society figures arrived at the company party, I began to take a closer look. I recognized the Aurora Princess, as well as her attendants, White Tiger and Black Tortoise. I could also vaguely recall some of their subordinates if I observed them closely. But unfortunately, I didn't see them.
After waiting a while, I saw Kim Sang-woo arrive with his men. Upon seeing me, he immediately led his men towards me. He was very friendly, smiling and saying, "How was it? Tired of working so hard?"
"Of course," I said with a smile, able to understand his simple Korean.
Kim Sang-woo seemed a little surprised to hear the Korean I had just learned. Then, he and his men all laughed. Smiling. He said in broken Chinese, just like me, "It seems we're on the same page. I've also been studying Chinese very diligently all day."
I simply said a few words at a time, while Kim Sang-woo awkwardly uttered a complete sentence. It was clear he was a talented individual, and he had clearly put a lot of effort into recruiting a top-tier expert like myself. Slightly touched, I gently patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for being so kind to me. I'll remember you."
But, as soon as I patted him on the shoulder, I saw his men turn pale with shock. I was also slightly taken aback, then became embarrassed. Because I was Kim Sang-woo's bodyguard, hired at great expense, and as his subordinate, I had no right to pat him on the shoulder like that. But Kim Sang-woo didn't take offense; instead, he warmly hugged me and said, "You're a good friend worth treating sincerely."
“You too,” I said to Kim Sang-woo.
After a brief chat with Kim Sang-woo, he couldn't wait to go find his Lee Tae-hee. However, just as I saw Kim Sang-woo go to talk to Lee Tae-hee, I saw another large group of people walk into the party.
When I saw them walk into the party, my expression changed slightly. I frowned, quietly backed away, and slipped into the party's restroom to light a cigarette. "Little good guy, where are you?"
"I'm in Seoul, what's wrong?" Xiao Haoren sounded a little confused on the phone.
"Are you here for JG Group's latest health product launch? Come to the restroom at the event; I have something to tell you," I whispered.
"Damn, you're here too..." Little Good Guy exclaimed in surprise.
"Keep your voice down, don't attract attention, just make up any excuse," I said.
"Okay." The little good-natured person was afraid of me, so he quickly put down the phone and walked over to me.
As soon as the little good guy went into the restroom, I immediately came out to acknowledge him. Then, exasperated, I lightly punched him and said, "Damn, how come I see you everywhere? And you even brought Shanshan with you?"
"Our Hao Ren Group and JG Group have business dealings. JG Group is launching a new health product and plans to expand into the mainland market, so they need a popular mainland celebrity as a spokesperson. That's why I brought Shan Shan along. Haha, you know I signed a three-year contract with Shan Shan. I've really made her famous now. I'll be making 20 million just from this endorsement fee for JG Group. And Shan Shan is my cash cow. Who else would I bring?" The good guy grinned mischievously.
"Damn it, you bloodsucker! Shanshan's been working herself to death for you for twenty million? Give her some pocket money when you have time, don't let her be too pitiful. As for when we meet again later, don't show any sign that you know me. Otherwise, if they find out, my plan will be exposed," I said.
"Brother Xi, you're pretending to be a nobody again to pick up girls?" Little Good Guy looked at me in surprise after hearing my words.
"Screw this, I have so much going on at home, why would I be out here chasing girls? Am I bored out of my mind?" Holding a cigarette and puffing out smoke, my true scoundrel nature was revealed. Then, squinting, I said helplessly to the good guy, "I found out that Aurora's headquarters are in Seoul, so I came here to find them. But Aurora is very well hidden. I strongly suspect they're hiding in Seoul's high society. That's why I impersonated Kim Sang-woo's bodyguard and came here."
"Brother Xi, you really are my idol! You've already started dealing with such a heavyweight like Kim Sang-woo so quickly. Kim Sang-woo is the boss of the number one gang in Korea!" Little Good Guy exclaimed in surprise once again.
"He's acting as my bodyguard. He doesn't know I'm the head of the Wang family." I rolled my eyes at the little good-natured boy, then said, "Alright, you should go back now. Tell Shanshan and anyone you know not to be surprised if they see me."
"Okay!" he nodded. The kind-hearted boy then left.
I never expected to see "Little Good Guy" here! Although it scared me half to death, I was still quite happy. Hiding in the shadows, watching him chat and laugh with Lee Tae-hee and Kim Sang-woo, I gradually came up with a plan. "Little Good Guy" was probably using his official name when interacting with Lee Tae-hee; Lee Tae-hee wouldn't call him "Little Good Guy." Otherwise, she would have been surprised when I told her my name was "Little Good Guy." And wouldn't you know it, I'd run into the real "Little Good Guy" today!
My plan is to use the "Good Guy" to throw a grand party. He'll pretend to befriend Seoul's high society, and then contact Kim Tae-hee and Kim Sang-woo to invite all of Seoul's elite to the party. That way, An Yao, Wang Che, and I can use this opportunity to find the people from Aurora.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
To be honest, tonight's party was a collaboration between Lee Tae-hee's and Little Good Guy's companies. Shan Shan is becoming increasingly popular, especially after starring in a blockbuster film. Her fame is starting to spread to South Korea. The party went very well, and because I had spoken to Little Good Guy beforehand, I didn't give myself away. As for Shan Shan, she only glanced at me casually. I could tell she really wanted to talk to me, but she's afraid to speak to me after what happened last time. Last time, she almost ruined both me and Tong Jialing'er. But it's all for the best. It made Tong Jialing'er and me realize our feelings for each other. It's just that we're both too busy now to have time to reconnect.
After the party ended that night, Lee Tae-hee said goodbye to me, Kim Sang-woo, Little Good Guy, and Shan-shan, and then took me back to her home near the company.
As he left, I noticed a particularly envious look in Kim Sang-woo's eyes when he saw the two of us. But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't offer himself as a bodyguard to Lee Tae-hee. He simply told me to protect Lee Tae-hee and didn't say anything more.
However, as Lee Tae-hee drove me home, I suddenly noticed several cars secretly following us. Lee Tae-hee's car was a sports car, and I was sitting in the passenger seat. I thought for a moment and said to Lee Tae-hee, "Take a detour onto the side road later."
"Why?" Lee Tae-hee asked me in surprise.
“We’re being followed,” I said.
Hearing my words, Lee Tae-hee seemed a little nervous. Following my instructions, Lee Tae-hee turned the car onto a side road at the next intersection.
When I saw those other cars follow, I immediately drew my pistol and leaned out of the window. Without hesitation, I fired at the cars and then ordered Lee Tae-hee to speed up.
Just as I suspected, these people were indeed there to arrest Lee Tae-hee. As soon as I drew my gun and fired at them, they immediately pulled out submachine guns and returned fire.
Upon seeing that they had submachine guns, I realized my firepower was inferior and quickly retreated back into the vehicle. Then, glancing at Lee Tae-hee beside me, I said, "Speed up, speed up! These people have heavy firepower; I'm no match for them!"
"Okay!" Hearing my words, Lee Tae-hee quickly accelerated. However, as Lee Tae-hee accelerated, the cars behind us also sped up.
“Go to the main road, they won’t dare to shoot at us if we go to the main road,” Lee Tae-hee said to me, gripping the steering wheel.
"Okay!" I nodded gently after hearing what Lee Tae-hee said.
However, when Lee Tae-hee drove onto a main road with people, and we turned at an intersection, those cars got closer to us. When our cars were only twenty or thirty meters away, they immediately pulled out submachine guns and started firing at us.
"Big sister, you said they wouldn't dare to shoot!?" I was almost hit by a bullet, so I quickly crouched down.
"These people are so ruthless." Lee Tae-hee didn't expect them to dare to fire a gun in the street, so he immediately stepped on the gas and drove the car even faster.
We were relentlessly pursued by those people, and our car sped up faster and faster. Lee Tae-hee's sports car was nice, but it wasn't very maneuverable in the city, so she drove to the suburbs, where it roared and sped along. The other cars were also going fast, flooring the accelerator and giving chase.
Seeing that they would catch up with us in a little while, I thought for a moment and immediately said to Lee Tae-hee, "Slow down the car and drive down the embankment!"
"Is this okay?" Lee Tae-hee's forehead was covered in sweat as he glanced at the earthen slopes on both sides of the road.
"Charge!" I shouted.
"Okay!" After hearing my words, Lee Tae-hee gritted his teeth and slammed on the brakes, then quickly turned the steering wheel, sending the car tumbling down the side slope.
With Lee Tae-hee's sudden movement, the cars behind us sped past. By the time their cars stopped, we had reached the bottom of the hill. We heard a loud crack, and then our car flipped over. It tumbled several more times before finally stopping. I opened the door and rolled out of the car.
"Run!" Feeling nauseous, I stumbled to Lee Tae-hee's car, opened the door, and pulled her out.
When I pulled her out, I saw that Lee Tae-hee had already fainted. Helpless, I had no choice but to carry her on my back and run into the nearby woods…
Chapter 298 The Goddess's Olive Branch
"Do you know who did it? Or did you see what the leader looks like?" In the hospital corridor, Kim Sang-woo had already arrived with a group of his men. Seeing that I was injured and Lee Tae-hee was also unconscious and admitted to a ward, Kim Sang-woo quickly asked me with concern.
"I don't know, and I didn't see what the leader looked like. They had heavy weapons, and I couldn't fight them. It's a miracle I escaped from them," I said, shaking my head.
“You’re injured, go see a doctor. I’ll take care of Miss Lee Tae-hee. Thank you for protecting her.” Kim Sang-woo bowed deeply to me sincerely.
“It’s what I should do. I don’t need to see a doctor. I just need to go home and rest,” I said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Nice Guy," Kim Sang-woo said.
“It’s okay,” I said.
After I left, Kim Sang-woo immediately went into the ward to check on Lee Tae-hee. Seeing that she was still unconscious, Kim Sang-woo asked the doctor about her injuries. The doctor said that Ms. Lee Tae-hee's injuries were not serious; she only suffered a mild concussion during the rollover. She would be fine after waking up tomorrow.
Hearing the doctor's words, Kim Sang-woo was finally relieved. Then, glancing at Lee Tae-hee's delicate face while she was unconscious, he couldn't help but feel a surge of goodwill towards me.
It seems he wasn't wrong about her after all. Putting aside Lee Tae-hee's beauty, her status as the CEO of JG Group, coupled with her wealthy family background, already attracted many suitors. In his eyes, although I'm a powerful, god-level expert, I still need to make money, still need to engage in murder and robbery to survive. If I could use the opportunity of being her bodyguard to seduce Miss Lee Tae-hee, I could definitely save myself at least twenty years of hard work in my life.
However, after rescuing Lee Tae-hee, I didn't take her home or anywhere else. Instead, I immediately informed him, giving him the opportunity to personally care for Lee Tae-hee. Based on this alone, he felt he hadn't misjudged me. He was a true gentleman, and if possible, he planned to groom me as the second-in-command of Tae-gi.
"President, we've found out who did it," a young man suddenly said to Kim Sang-woo.
"Is it the Black Tiger Gang, who have always been our enemies?" Kim Sang-woo's gaze sharpened at this moment.
"Yes." The young man nodded slightly.
“Alright, send men to bomb one of their territories as a warning. If they still don’t back down, we, Tai Chi, will wage full-scale war against them,” Jin Xiangyu said coldly.
Meanwhile, my king cobra had arrived in Seoul the day before. After feeding it and playing with it for a while, I staggered over to our hotel in Seoul.
