(Go On Taking off Your Clothes!) Zhang Dong Takes off All His Clothes to Gain Chen Yuanxi's Trust
← Ch.195 | Ch.197 → |
Zhao Yuan was so upset that he checked all the monitors nearby. He only saw Chen Yuanxi appearing at the corner of the street, and then showing up near a local specialty store, and finally disappearing.
Zhao Yuan and Zhang Dong stood silently at the entrance of the alley.
"Zhao Yuan, if you are smart enough, you should hit me now, " said Zhang Dong.
Then Zhao Yuan started hitting Zhang Dong, and they fought together in the street.
As Chen Yuanxi said, Zhao Yuan had been no match for Zhang Dong in the past, not to mention the present moment, because Zhang Dong had been training for many years. Soon, Zhao Yuan was held in a firm grip by Zhang Dong, from behind.
They did not release each other, until Chen Yuanxi appeared
Chen Yuanxi said, as he handed over his mobile phone to Zhao Yuan, "I just fell and broke my cell phone, so I found a place to repair it." Zhao Yuan saw clearly that his mobile phone had not been repaired, but he still grinned, "I think the wages of your bodyguard should be deducted." As he said, Zhao Yuan picked up the milk tea, that Zhang Dong had left on the ground before their fight, and left.
"Zhao Yuan! That's not vinegar!" Chen Yuanxi shouted from afar.
Then he saw Zhao Yuan threw the milk tea directly into the garbage truck.
"You are so proud!" Chen Yuanxi could not help sneering.
The business in Inner Mongolia could be handed to others. Soon, Chen Yuanxi set out to return to the small town. Zhao Yuan and the others accompanied him.
Chen Yuanxi's residence in the small town.
Chen Yuanxi suddenly screamed in the middle of the night and sat up, drenched up in sweat. The bloody world that appeared in his dream, made him feel crazed and near suffocating.
The door was kicked open by Zhang Dong. He walked around the room with a dagger in his hand. After a long while, he realized that Chen Yuanxi just had a nightmare.
In the past few days, Chen Yuanxi's behavior had been very strange!
"Get out!" Chen Yuanxi shouted.
Zhang Dong nodded, checked the window again, and gently closed the door."Wenxi, I've been there."
"Don't call me Wenxi! My name is Chen Yuanxi, don't you know?" The cup on the tea table flew toward Zhang Dong and hit his forehead. When the glass broke, blood flowed from Zhang Dong's forehead and dripped from the ends of his hair.
There was no trace of ferocity on Zhang Dong's face, only placidity and anxiety. Chen Yuanxi was totally awake, and Zhang Dong left.
When Chen Yuanxi woke up again, Zhang Dong also rose, from the floor, with bloodshot eyes. Then he left to prepare breakfast for Chen Yuanxi, and cleaned the floor.
After several days of hard work, Chen Yuanxi could finally meet Zhao Yuan again, but at Zheng Kai's house.
Zheng Kai also wondered why Zhao Yuan had arranged to meet Lin Wenxi, using his name. After an excellent meal, Zhao Yuan presented him with dozens of coupons for a high-end spa hotel run by the Mo Family, and forced him out of the house.
"There's no monitor here, and it was Zheng Kai who invited you. Even if Zhang Dong reports this to his master, no one will question about the meeting here today." Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "What happened to you that day? It must be something important."
"Wang Chang is dead, " said Chen Yuanxi. Then he told Zhao Yuan what had happened.
Zhao Yuan punched the wall, making a loud sound.
For a moment, both of them did not know what they should do next.
"Let's wait for Hong Xuan's information. If he gets things done in Inner Mongolia, at least Zhang Dong will be free. Many things, which are inconvenient for us to deal with, can be done by Zhang Dong, " said Zhao Yuan.
Chen Yuanxi nodded. It seemed that this was the only way.
After that night, Zhao Yuan quickly returned to G city to prepare the listing plan, and Shu Xiaoman and others spared no pains to cooperate with him.
Chen Yuanxi was sitting at the head of his bed, searching through his notebook for the murder cases that had taken place in the small town, in the past few years. There were so many pictures of the murder cases, among which many had been covered up. But those bloody pictures presented one by one, were not as scary as the sight of that pale, bloody hand that night, in Chen Yuanxi's mind. He turned off the light and was very upset. He snapped at Zhang Dong, who was lying on the floor, "Don't come into my room again!"
Zhang Dong lay on the floor, without saying a word.
"Good! You'll be on duty there from now on!" In the darkness, Zhang Dong could not see Chen Yuanxi's expression clearly, but could see him pointing to the corner of the wall, under the sky light.
The man lying on the floor, quickly stood up and moved to the corner.
Chen Yuanxi looked at the tall figure and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep."I have to wait, but how can I merely wait? If uncle Hong Xuan fails to deal with the guards in Inner Mongolia, what should I do?"
These days, Chen Yuanxi was very upset. When he was in the company during the day, Zhang Dong was always asked by him to stand guard at the company's gate. The employees of BC Company were almost used to the fact that the boss's personal bodyguard had a lot of work to do. He had to take charge of the parking and entrance cards, clean the offices, and even repairing the computers for the company's employees, at any time. Wang Xiang, the consultant of the company, sometimes went to see Zhang Dong under the guise of taking a smoke break. If Zheng Kai had not mediated for them, Wang Xiang would have called the police many times.
Zheng Kai could not tolerate it anymore.
"Since you've said that you believe that he is not the murderer, and asking me keep it secret, then don't torment him like that. He can be a senior bodyguard wherever he goes, but look at what you have done to him? Now even the receptionists look down on him! A man, at least, must have self-respect!" said Zheng Kai.
"I'll fire you, if you say more, " said Chen Yuanxi.
"How dare you!"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Since you are angry with what he did in the past, why are you staying with him? Why do you treat him like that? Can't you change your bodyguard to someone else? Yuanxi, since you came back home, you have always been decisive with everything. You even behaved well in the wedding ceremony of Ah Yuan and Wanxin... You were also decisive when you decided to demolish Jifu University. Why can't you let your bodyguard go?" Zheng Kai was obviously a little angry.
Chen Yuanxi was always helpless when he faced Zheng Kai. When he faced Zhao Yuan, he still was able to do what a president had to do. But when he faced Zheng Kai, he always felt guilty.
"Maybe Zheng Kai is the purest person we know." Chen Yuanxi remembered that Zhang An'an had once said that.
It had been nearly nine years since Chen Yuanxi went to Jifu University. In the past nine years, almost everyone had changed. After the reunion, everyone had been cautious as a cat that showed its claws when meeting a strange cat. But Zheng Kai was the only one who had not changed. It seemed that he was still the rude and frank boy he had been when he was a freshman, even though they had been apart for a long time.
Chen Yuanxi turned his back and said, "Fine, I see."
This was Chen Yuanxi's most polite words.
That night Chen Yuanxi did not say anything, and Zhang Dong still stood in the corner to keep watch at night.
At night, Chen Yuanxi suddenly heard a sound. He was shocked and woke up, his body drenched with cold sweat. He turned the light on, and saw Zhang Dong struggling to get up from the ground.
This man could really stand not talking for four days and four nights.
Chen Yuanxi wearily said, "Go to sleep."
However, the light in the bedroom was on.
"I said I don't need a light in my bedroom!" Chen Yuanxi said in a cold voice, but then he saw Zhang Dong's bloodshot eyes were wide open, the stubble on his face and cheeks, and his pale face, due to lack of sleep for the past nights.
"You want the company to develop in Inner Mongolia, because you want to reassure me. Now Mo Qian already suspects me, and he is strictly monitoring my parent' movements, " said Zhang Dong.
"You're getting smart now, " Chen Yuanxi said, "I have my own plans in Inner Mongolia. You need not care about it."
"You are going to my house to find a way to eliminate my worries and find out information for, and then investigate the Mo Family and then the Chens. However, even if Mr. Chen doesn't doubt you, can you guarantee that Mo Qian won't doubt you? I can tell you clearly that Mo Qian has been monitoring you since you joined the Chens. When you were in the United States, the people he sent, were discovered by you. But you are in China now, and all your actions are under his supervision. One of the reasons that he sent me to monitor you is to keep tabs on me. He wants to know whether what I reported to him, is the same as the information he got. The second reason is that he believes that we won't be allies, because I have humiliated you twice, and my parents are controlled by him. The third reason is that he wants to show his loyalty to Mr. Chen, because Mr. Chen appreciates me very much, and he is the one who wants to keep you most. But you've done a good job. You've been doing all the small tasks."
Zhang Dong calmly said, "I, I want you to continue."
Chen Yuanxi felt strange and said in a cold voice, "I believe in Mo Qian, and I'm also loyal to my father. I..." Suddenly, he saw Zhang Dong taking off his clothes, piece by piece, in front of him!
"What are you doing?" asked Chen Yuanxi.
Zhang Dong slowly took off his coat and showed his scars.
"I don't have a monitor on me. You need not call Chen Tianjiao "father" in front of me. If you don't believe me, I will continue to take off my clothes." Zhang Dong said.
Chen Yuanxi looked at him cautiously. At the same time, he found that there were new scars, which he had not seen before, on Zhang Dong's body than there had been when he underwent the military training in that year. One of the scars covered almost half of his abdomen, while there seemed to be a wound caused by a bullet, on his clavicle.
Zhang Dong only had his underpants on, now. He said, "You are not blushing yet, which means you have made a lot of progress. Wenxi, If I were you..."
Chen Yuanxi snapped, "Take everything off!"
Zhang Dong was stunned and felt his face turning red. He gritted his teeth and took off his last piece of clothing.
"Will you tell me the truth now?" asked Zhang Dong.
Chen Yuanxi threw a sheet to Zhang Dong, and stared at him calmly. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Did you blush?"
Zhang Dong hesitated, put on the sheet, and said, "I did not expect you to ask me to take off all my clothes."
"I don't want to talk about what you did to me before. Tell me, who is the person that taught you?" asked Chen Yuanxi.
Zhang Dong nodded contentedly and said, "Wenxi, she said that you will find out about her, sooner or later."
"I've heard more or less about your life in the Mo Family. Luo Yang has framed you many times, but you always won. We don't believe each other, but you could infer from my visit to Inner Mongolia that I was going to help your parents. Instructor Zhang, you have never been the scheming type. I'm afraid that taking off clothes shows your true character, " said Chen Yuanxi.
Zhang Dong asked with a smile, "When you were cheated in City A, how do you think I knew you were in danger?"
Chen Yuanxi thought about what had happened in those days, pursed his mouth, and laid back in bed in a relaxed position.
"I have not thanked you for that. If it had not been for you, either Zhao Yuan or I might have died there."
"You needn't say thanks to me. I'm your bodyguard, this is what I should do, " said Zhang Dong.
Chen Yuanxi could not help saying, "At that time, you also..." He had already known Zhang Dong's meaning, and was moved. But, he suppressed his feelings and said, "Maybe I should have believed you."
"It's not the right time now, for me to tell you who she is. When everything is settled, someone will tell you, " said Zhang Dong.
"I have the ability to escort your parents abroad." Chen Yuanxi said, letting Zhang Dong get dressed.
Zhang Dong slowly took out a note and said, "Wenxi, sometimes, it may be a note, sometimes, it may be a colorless and tasteless poison. You can't be so relaxed anymore. I've checked it in many ways. It's nontoxic. Take a look."
Chen Yuanxi took the note, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"It was in your pocket. Every day after you go to bed, I will check your clothes with an instrument to see if there is anything additional. You must have not found this note yet, or I would not have found it in your pocket."
The note said, "Things in Inner Mongolia have been done, and arrangements can be made as soon as possible."
Chen Yuanxi lay on the bed, thinking about the next step. If all went well, the Wangs would contact him soon.
