Beauty and the Bodyguard

Zhong Pingliang’s Mission

Pinliang had the ultimate mission- he was going to poison the students today.

Although poisoning was a crime, he didn’t feel burdened or guilty at all. To him, the more severe the crime was, the greater the excitement was as well! He had been waiting for the opportunity to leave an unforgettable mark in the school, so he was very glad to accept this job when he got it.

Now that his uncle was no longer the shareholder of this school, he didn’t really care about its reputation anymore! His love for Mengyao transformed to hate. It was the same with Lin Yi.

With Jianwen patrolling around Mengyao, Pinliang knew that he was no match for his love rival, so his desire towards Mengyao died down eventually. He couldn’t hit on Mengyao anymore, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t hate Mengyao! This time, he was certain he would make Chu Pengzhan pay. He would also give the proud Miss a good lesson.

It dawned upon him after he experienced tragedy. He woke up from his unreachable dream of hitting on Mengyao. The girl was obviously trolling him, playing with his feelings. She never had feelings for him before! Although Mengyao wasn’t the one ordering him around like a clown, she didn’t stop Yushu from doing it. This meant she was equally at fault!

The Misses and Lin Yi, Pinliang would never forgive them for his entire life! And there was Jianwen. Pinliang swore to make him pay when Naipao returned. The day that Naipao returned would be Jianwen’s last day of living on this earth!

With the aid of Yaowang and Miracle Doctor Kang’s Golden Creation, Pinliang’s wound was more or less healed. He was perfectly fine, although, missing a kidney.

However, things weren’t looking good for Pinliang’s return. He felt that his schoolmates were all looking strangely. It was if they were laughing at his lost kidney. Pinliang didn’t know if he was being too sensitive right now or everyone really was laughing at him. Either way, he was displeased at the atmosphere!

The humiliation was just too much!

At this point, Pinliang was no longer the same Pinliang they used to know. He matured after the misfortune and learned a simple lesson. If he wanted revenge, he needed power. He needed strength before he could deal with people like Lin Yi. He couldn’t just charge in by force. it would be a futile and foolish act.

Of course, he wasn’t going to give up his revenge on Lin Yi. All he had to do was a scheme in the dark. He didn’t think Lin Yi and Pengzhan could handle his mental attack. They were destined to fall apart mentally, someday!

The last period of the morning class ended. Pinliang and Xiaofu decided to use this chance to skip class and carry on with their mission. Pinliang didn’t hide this mission from Xiaofu, as he was Pinlaing’s right-hand man. He had done a few numbers of pretty nasty things as well, so he wasn’t stupid enough to betray Pinliang by exposing his mission to the school.

“Liang bro, so all we have to do is to spread this thing on the baskets of vegetables in the canteen?” Xiaofu asked while holding a few tiny bottles in his hand.

“Yeah, I’ll scatter four and you scatter three. We’ll carry this mission out separately so we won’t attract too much of attention!” Pinliang said.

“But is this thing really effective? Liang bro?” Xiaofu didn’t believe that the bottles he held were harmless alone, but deadly when mixed together.

“Of course. Did you know that this poison was mixed by a legendary master? This poison is called the Deadly Seven Herbs Poison. It’s mixed with seven types of herbs. It had unique features as well. It was both colorless and odorless. It’s totally harmless if we only consumed one of the seven herbs, but when mixed together, the seven herbs become a deadly poison. It’s an ideal way to assassinate people without them knowing!” Pinliang explained cockily.

“F***, that effective? Meaning all of them will die after consuming the Deadly Seven Herbs Poison?” Xiaofu was astonished.

“Exactly. Even with the help of forensics, I highly doubt that they could find the missing pieces because examining only one dish wouldn’t show any signs of toxicity! I don’t think that the hospital has a remedy for the poison, either. Poisoned students can only wait and die in vain!” Pinliang said.

“But, there’s no harm to Chu Pengzhan, right? Even if forensics fails to find the cause of the outbreak… why would people think that the school is responsible for it? The food they examined should be harmless too, which would make the school innocent from this outbreak.”

“Idiot! Do you know what terrifies people most?” Pinliang said with disdain, “It’s the unknown. People fear unknown the most! Why are people afraid of ghosts? Because a ghost is a part of the unknown. No one has seen the face of a ghost before, and that’s what frightens them the most! It is the same thing. If the forensics found the cause of the poison, then what happens to Chu Pengzhan’s reputation. He would be the victim, and he could pretty much just spend some money to settle the case and the public would call him a good guy! Nothing would happen to him at all. Conversely, what do you think would happen when the forensics can’t find the cause of the outbreak?”

“Oh, you’re right!” Xiaofu realized, “The food is harmless but the students are poisoned. That is indeed terrifying!”

“That’s why, before the mystery is solved, no parents would dare leave their children in the school. What if it happens again? Things wouldn’t look good for Pengzhan if the parents of the students started to form an alliance and quit school!” Pinliang continued, “As for those students that died in vain because of the poison, do you think that their parents would just let Chu Pengzhan off so easily? Their children died for no reasons, and even the hospital couldn’t figure out the source of the poison. There’s no way the parents would just ignore this issue. And, the only thing they can do is to put all the blame on Chu Pengzhan! Hehe! You’re dead now Chu Pengzhan!”

“Oh, I see! Your plan is perfect, Liang bro!” Xiaofu praised.

“Okay, it’s time to spread the poison now. The cafeteria should be done preparing their food.” Pinliang good after listening to Xiaofu’s praise.

Before Gubang was kicked out of the board of shareholders, Pinliang was the cafeteria’s regular customer. He used to have his meal first before the others.

He always skipped class, so there was no point for him to wait until the last period before entering the cafeteria. Besides, he was the niece of one of the shareholders, so the manager of the cafeteria didn’t have the balls to offend him. As long as Pinliang paid for the food he ordered, he didn’t really mind giving him food first. It was all the same. There was no loss.

Pinliang came to the cafeteria just like before, bringing Xiaofu along with him. The cafeteria’s door was still closed since it wasn’t operation hour yet, so he knocked on the door. After a short while, they heard the sound of footsteps and someone opened the door. The worker saw that it was only Pinliang so he opened the door and let him in.

Although Gubang was kicked out of the board, not many people knew about it, only the higher ranking executives were informed. Obviously, the people working in the canteen were clueless about it. They didn’t dare to oppose him.

“Master Zhong, you came! It’s been a while since you’ve visited the canteen!” the people in the canteen flattered Pinliang. These people were at the bottom of the social pyramid, after all. Getting the approval of the young masters like Pinliang was necessary. Who knew if the young masters would mention their names to their parents and recommend them for a better job?
