Urban Top Bodyguard

"Hahaha..."

After hearing Wang Yu's words, Bald Head broke into uproarious laughter, utterly unrestrained.

"I think that line should be mine, are you blind? Didn't you see that everyone around us is one of my guys?"

After stopping his laughter, Bald Head coldly said to Wang Yu.

"Aooh...!"

As soon as Bald Head finished speaking, his underlings immediately cooperated with a howl that indeed had some powerful momentum.

"Is that so?" Wang Yu didn't care about their ghostly howling, flashed a slight smile, and loudly addressed all the patrons, "Everyone, don't just stand there; watching a show requires a bit of effort. Help me with a countdown of one minute. If he doesn't make a move within a minute, I'll show you all a good play. How about it?"

"Yes!"

You have to say, people from the Yan Kingdom really do love a spectacle. As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, a chorus of approval rose from the crowd, well-coordinated and enthusiastic.

Wang Yu chuckled and graciously thanked everyone with a gesture of his hands, acting not like he was about to fight, but rather like he was about to perform a variety act.

Seeing Wang Yu's antics, Bald Head was stunned. He thought to himself that this kid must be crazy or couldn't discern the situation before him. Perhaps he had escaped from an asylum?

"Bald Head, are you and all your lackeys ready? Because I'm about to get everyone started!" Wang Yu said, his smile fading as a chill flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Begin!"

"Fifty-nine."

"Fifty-eight."

"Fifty-seven"...

The group of customers immediately started counting down. Before they could finish, Bald Head gritted his teeth and, waving his hand to his minions, said, "Go, beat him to a pulp so even his parents won't recognize him."

When the boss gave the command, the underlings naturally sprang into action, a group of lackeys swinging beer bottles and steel pipes charging at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu dodged quickly, delivering a flying kick to the nearest person, then striking with punches and kicks; screams of pain and cries of agony filled the air.

Bald Head realized something was wrong and thought that if things continued this way, his men wouldn't last a minute; it'd be better to slip away in the chaos to live and fight another day.

"One."

As the crowd's countdown ended, Bald Head's last underling collapsed at Wang Yu's feet.

Wang Yu looked down at the fallen thugs, smirked, and then turned to look around, only to find that Bald Head had taken the opportunity to slink away.

"Wow!" A wave of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

"So cool!" One girl clenched her fists under her chin, her eyes sparkling with stars as she watched Wang Yu.

"You're so fierce, can you come home with me?" Another girl outright invited Wang Yu, hoping to take this formidable man home for a round of three hundred encounters.

"Handsome!" A man with eyeshadow flicked his hair and winked continuously at Wang Yu.

(Uh... damn queer, get lost! Our protagonist isn't into that.)

With a smile on his face, Wang Yu thanked everyone with a bow. Then he glanced at a waitress holding a wine bottle who was standing there dumbly staring at him, her eyelashes still wet with shiny tears.

"I'll buy that bottle. Remember, don't judge a book by its cover."

Having said that, Wang Yu pulled out some money from his pocket, counted out 35,000, handed it over, took the Louis XIII with a casual toss, and with a splash, the scent of wine spread through the air and 35,000 was spilled on the ground.

"Lin Xi, let's go!"

Wang Yu smiled slightly at Lin Xi, who was still dazed, took her hand, and started walking towards the exit of the bar.

Once out of the bar, Wang Yu was about to hail a taxi when Lin Xi suggested they walk home. Wang Yu, after a moment's thought, readily agreed.

The night in Deep City was so beautiful; what could be better than taking a walk and enjoying the cityscape?

"You just fought so many people, weren't you afraid? What if they had hurt you?"

Lin Xi walked ahead of Wang Yu, hands clasped behind her back, occasionally hopping or walking backward, looking quite adorable, like a child who hadn't yet grown up. At twenty-one or two, she could still be considered a child.

"Afraid of what? I'm rather slippery, and I don't take life and death too seriously. As for those guys just now, I didn't even see them as a concern."

As Wang Yu spoke, he kept his eyes forward, carefully checking the pedestrian path ahead to ensure Lin Xi didn't trip over any obstacles while walking backward.

Lin Xi blinked a few times, tilted her head backward while looking at Wang Yu and suddenly pouted, saying, "It's all your fault. Why did you have to tease the waitress? You ruined my chance to dance tonight."

After saying that, Lin Xi turned around and secretly smiled. It was just a joke. Although she didn't get to dance, she wasn't upset. Director Wang Yu's martial arts scenes were far more exciting than dancing.

Wang Yu smiled and shook his head, "I'm not exactly a good person, but I'm definitely not a bad one. I really dislike those calculating people who look down on others with disdain. In a way, I was doing a good deed, teaching her a lesson on how to be a person. As for the dance you missed out on, I'll make it up to you later."

"Forget it, I was just teasing you! I'm not angry," Lin Xi giggled, turning back to ask, "How long did you stay abroad? What were you doing there?"

"Eight years, working in a restaurant for someone," Wang Yu quickly answered, though his reply was half-truth, half-lie. He indeed had been abroad for eight years, but he wasn't working in a restaurant—he was an assassin.

"Pfft! Keep making stuff up, as if I'd believe you!" Lin Xi said and turned around, bouncing and hopping forward.

"Why would I lie to you? You're not an idiot, that easy to fool, are you?" Wang Yu laughed.

"Believing you would make me the idiot! Could someone working in a restaurant afford to be so extravagant? You just casually threw out thirty-five thousand to someone and then smashed a bottle on the ground. Do you think your family owns a bank? You don't look like a rich person at all, so why do you love to pose so much? You think you're being cool, but in other people's eyes, you're just a fool."

While saying this, Lin Xi turned around again and began walking backward, her eyes fixed intently on Wang Yu's.

Wang Yu couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy and quickly lowered his head, but his steps didn't stop. From this conversation, it was clear that Lin Xi had an attitude toward life that was not covetous of vanity.

"Hehe, nervous... Ah!"

Just as Lin Xi was about to comment on Wang Yu's nervousness, she unexpectedly tripped over something and began to fall backward, cutting off her words with a sharp scream.

Wang Yu quickly looked up to see Lin Xi flailing her arms in the air as her body rapidly fell backward. He dashed forward, reaching out and catching her arms.

However, Wang Yu met the same fate as Lin Xi, stumbling over something underfoot. As a result, he also fell forward, landing directly on top of Lin Xi.

To make matters worse, his lips met with Lin Xi's cherry-like ones, touching precisely.

Lin Xi's eyes widened in shock, staring at Wang Yu's chiseled face, with only one thought echoing in her head, "Lin Xi, you damn fool, your first kiss has been stolen, your innocence is gone."

Wang Yu's reaction wasn't much different from Lin Xi's. His brain temporarily froze as he lay on top of her.

However, as an assassin, Wang Yu's reflexes were naturally quicker than the average person's. In just two to three seconds, he came to his senses, rolled off Lin Xi's body, stood up, and took deep breaths, cursing his luck. How could this happen? She wouldn't expect him to take responsibility, would she?

"Ah!"

Moments later, a thunderous yell tore through the endless night. The first thing Lin Xi did upon getting up was to punch and kick Wang Yu, loudly berating him, "You bastard, give me back my first kiss, my innocence, you hooligan, you pervert..."

First kiss? Wang Yu was stunned. Hadn't she done 'that' with Hu Liang? But obviously, that wasn't the issue he should be pondering right now; he needed to find a way to resolve the current problem.

Wang Yu stood still, letting Lin Xi's punches and kicks fall on him like rain, while his brain rapidly searched for a solution. The damage from Lin Xi's blows was negligible to him.

"Had enough?"

After a moment, Wang Yu suddenly grabbed Lin Xi's flailing fists and smiled as he asked.

Lin Xi paused and stared at Wang Yu for a few seconds, then struggled fiercely, finding herself unable to break free from his grip. She eventually stopped flailing and, panting, yelled at Wang Yu, "Not yet! Let go, I'm going to beat you to death, you pervert. Give me back my first kiss, my innocence."

"First kiss?" Wang Yu chuckled, looking at her and asking, "You still have it? Did you not do 'that' with that turtle Hu Liang?"

"Bah! That turtle does he even qualify? Even if I did 'that' with you, I'd never do 'that' with him."

Lin Xi, focused entirely on breaking free from Wang Yu, blurted out her reply without thinking it through. She didn't even realize what she had said after speaking and kept twisting her arm, intending to keep pounding Wang Yu.

Wang Yu felt helpless. It seemed he really had taken her first kiss. Since she demanded it back, he wasn't to be blamed.

"Fine! Stand still and don't move. I'll give your first kiss back."

After that, Wang Yu moved his mouth towards Lin Xi's cherry-like lips, startling her. She leaned back quickly, exclaiming, "What are you doing? If you don't let go, I'll scream harassment!"

"Didn't you ask me to return your first kiss? You left your first kiss on my lips just now, so of course, I have to give it back to you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

As he spoke, Wang Yu let go of Lin Xi, who blinked blankly at him, showing a face of utter bewilderment.

After freeing herself from Wang Yu's hold, Lin Xi immediately put some distance between them, her face flushing as she inwardly spat, "Ugh! I've seen shameless, but never someone as shameless as him; he just took advantage of me and still wasn't satisfied. Now he wants more, claiming he's returning my first kiss—the nerve!"

"Not taking it? Well, you can't blame me then."

Wang Yu didn't care what she was thinking. After speaking, he bent down to inspect where they had fallen and saw a segment of dark rebar sticking out from the cement ground, entwined with some wire.

Even in broad daylight, those two items would be hard to notice, let alone at night.

"Damn these Deep City municipal works."

Looking at the rebar, Wang Yu muttered under his breath, then looked up at Lin Meng, who was standing not far away, fuming. He then leisurely walked over to her.
