Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11187: Chapter 11186: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

“It’s not convenient for me to show my face directly. Feng ‘er, why don’t you go and welcome them together?”

King Zhao suggested.

“I can’t bend over and smile apologetically.” Zhao Feng rolled her eyes.

She was currently filled with anger. If that bullsh * t Safety Inspection Department’s supervisor was arrogant and might start a fight, it would be difficult to clean up the situation.

King Zhao could not help but smile bitterly. With his daughter’s personality, he really did not dare to take the risk.

Zhao Jixiong immediately took the opportunity to say,” The other party is just a manager after all. It’s enough for my son to receive him. Second Sister is a woman after all. It’s indeed not convenient for her to receive an outsider.”

Zhao Feng snorted but did not refute.

King Zhao finally decided,” Since that’s the case, then let Ji Xiong and your Uncle San Cai come forward together. Grasp the standard of being neither servile nor overbearing. Don’t let others pick on the wrong things, but don’t ruin the thousand-year-old reputation of the King Zhao Residence.”

“Yes, sir!”

Zhao Jixiong and Zhao Sancai immediately left.

Zhao Feng was left behind to accompany King Zhao. She could not hide the distress on her face.

It was rare for Lin Yi to ask her for help, and she had agreed to it before, but now she was stuck at home. How was she going to explain it to Lin Yi?

” Feng ‘er, there are some things that you can’t do,” King Zhao said faintly.” You don’t have to force yourself. As a person, you have to know who you are. Only then can you live a more relaxed life.”

” What do you mean?” Zhao Feng was not convinced.” Father, are you saying that the promise I made to my friend is not valid?”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.” King Zhao shook his head.

Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment before she fell silent.

After a long time, Zhao Feng said in a muffled voice,” They have too many tricks up their sleeves. They’re trying to bully me. I’m not convinced.”

King Zhao sighed and did not say anything.

..

Zhao Jixiong and Zhao Sancai walked towards the entrance of the Imperial Residence unhurriedly. They looked at each other and smiled.

One was the destined future successor of the Prince Zhao’s residence, and the other held the financial power of the Prince Zhao’s residence. The two of them had long formed a common interest.

Suppressing Zhao Feng was a consensus that had been formed long ago.

Zhao Sancai reminded him,” Jixiong, the Safety Inspection Division is no small matter. They have immense power. We must use this opportunity to win them over. Not only will we face the upcoming inspection, but it will also be of great use in the future.”

Zhao Jixiong nodded.” Uncle Sancai, don’t worry. I’m not that brainless woman. I know what’s good for me.”

Zhao Sancai instructed,” After we meet, try to stabilize him. I need to make some arrangements. This time, it was too sudden. I didn’t have time to prepare.”

Zhao Jixiong was stunned for a moment.” The Security Review Division is investigating the spies of the Gods. It has nothing to do with us, right?”

“Better safe than sorry.”

” It’s normal,” Zhao Sancai said seriously.” It’s fine, but if they meddle in other people’s business, they might find something to use against us and expose it. It’ll be troublesome.”

“Understood.” Zhao Jixiong understood.

The two of them held hands as they arrived at the entrance of the Prince’s mansion. They looked at the neat and awe-inspiring queue outside the door and felt the unified aura of the 50 staff members of the Safety Inspection Department. They could not help but stop in their tracks.

Each of these fifty people was an elite expert carefully selected from the Imperial Army.

Although they were not as exaggerated as the royal powerhouses, they were definitely not to be underestimated.

This alone was enough to show how extraordinary the Safety Inspection Department was. It was obvious that the Safety Inspection Department was not just going through the motions, but was really serious.

The two of them felt their hearts tremble. They no longer dared to underestimate him and immediately walked quickly to the front of the leader.

“I am Zhao Jixiong. May I know how to address this Lord Manager?”

However, when they saw the other party’s appearance clearly, the two of them could not help but be stunned.

Why was it him?

Although they hadn’t interacted with Lin Yi directly, Lin Yi’s presence in the inner court wasn’t small. Ordinary people might not feel it, but people like them who were at the top of the power circle couldn’t avoid Lin Yi’s name.

Plus, Lin Yi and Zhao Feng’s relationship had already spread in the Zhao King’s mansion before the law calamity.

“I’m Lin Yi, greetings to the two of you.”

Lin Yi cupped his hands and went straight to the point.” It’s my duty. I’m in charge of the security inspection of the Zhao residence this time. I’ll need to trouble you for a while. I hope your residence will cooperate as much as possible.”

Seeing his business-like attitude, Zhao Jixiong and Zhao Sancai became even more uncertain.

The two of them exchanged glances.

Zhao Jixiong reacted and said,” Brother Lin, don’t worry. The security check is the most important thing. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. The entire Zhao Estate will cooperate with you.”

“Thank you, Mister Zhao.” Lin Yi nodded.

Zhao Sancai saw this and said,” We have long heard of Brother Lin’s name. It’s rare for us to visit for the first time. We must make proper arrangements to welcome Brother Lin.”

As he spoke, he called the butler over and instructed him to arrange a banquet of the highest class.

“No need.”

Lin Yi interrupted,” We have important matters to attend to. The situation is urgent, and time is of the essence. We have to go to the next house after the investigation is done. Let’s get started. Please arrange for the people from the palace to cooperate with us.”

With that, he waved his hand, and the fifty managers immediately entered the Prince’s mansion.

These people were from the Imperial Army, so they naturally had their own backgrounds. Needless to say, they were definitely mixed with a lot of sand, and they were mainly from King Qin’s residence.

However, at least for now, these fifty people were still very professional and could be said to be following orders.

Seeing this, Zhao Jixiong did not dare to stop him. He could only say,” We will arrange it immediately. Brother Lin’s dedication to the public is admirable. However, since it’s your first time visiting, you should at least have a meal. Otherwise, others will scold us for being too rude.”

“No need. We are all cultivators. Eating is not that important.”

“Is Miss Zhao Feng here?” Lin Yi suddenly changed the topic.

Zhao Jixiong was stunned and looked at Zhao Sancai.

“She seems to have gone out for something,” said Zhao Sancai hurriedly.

“Second Sister shouldn’t be in the residence at the moment,” Zhao Jixiong responded.

No matter what, they couldn’t let Lin Yi meet with Zhao Feng at this time. Otherwise, the pressure they put on Zhao Feng in front of Zhao Wang would be reflected.

Lin Yi’s position was too important.

No matter what they found out, not only would Prince Zhao’s residence be uncomfortable, but the two of them would also feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

If Lin Yi communicated with Zhao Feng and used this as a pretext, it would be a huge problem.

The two of them instantly reached a consensus.

Before the investigation was over, they had to avoid Lin Yi meeting Zhao Feng. It was best to find a reason to send Zhao Feng out so that there wouldn’t be any complications.

“Brother Lin, I will go and instruct the servants in the residence to cooperate fully. I will let Ji Xiong accompany you to rest for a while.”
