Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 8778 8777-

Now that the silver-armored young man had said that, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down on one knee to beg for forgiveness.

As for the slap on his face, he didn't even dare to cover it, let alone Dodge it!

"What an ignorant thing! I'll deal with you later!"

The silver-armored young man cursed in a low voice. He raised his head and smiled, cupping his hands and bowing to Lin Yi and Fang Gezi.

"Several investigators are our distinguished guests. Our starsource continent's meteorite wine has a mellow taste and is a rare wine. It's just that it has a strong aftereffect. After drinking a few more cups, some friction is inevitable."

"These things are not for us guards to care about, but I still hope that everyone can respect peace. We're all family. This is just a small friction. Let's have another drink and let it go!"

The silver-armored young man made his stand clear that he wouldn't let the guards get involved in the conflict between the inspectors. He acted as the peacemaker again and raised a glass of wine to Lin Yi, Fang Gezi, and the others.

"This humble one offers a toast to everyone. Cheers, please!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. He had a very forthright spirit!

Fang Gezi's expression was a bit ugly-she was just about to deal with Lin Yi when this guy came out.

Not only did this silver-armored young man interrupt the Guard's actions against Lin Yi, but he even said that he wanted to make peace with both sides!

Not giving him face?

It wasn't impossible. After all, Fang Gezi's side was a total of seven second-grade continents 'patrol envoys, and their influence was extraordinary. However, this silver-armored young man was the head guard of the patrol Institute's headquarters.

Who knew who else was backing him? What if he was targeted after returning to the continent? At that time, he would have no allies to accompany him!

To be able to become a patrol envoy, none of them were simple people. In a flash, he had already understood the stakes.

"Hahaha, the captain of the guards is right, it's all because of drinking too much. It wasn't a big deal, just a little friction! Come, come, come, patrol envoy Sima, let's have a drink, and let's forget all our grudges with a smile!"

Fang Gezi took the lead and raised her glass as well, giving a toast to the silver-armored young man before turning to Lin Yi.

A man knows when to yield and when not to yield. Since things can't be done now, I'll wait for the next opportunity!

The inspector who was kicked by Lin Yi wasn't happy about it, but with Fang Gezi in the lead, the others followed suit and toasted to each other as if nothing had happened.

He had no choice but to act as if nothing had happened. With a smile on his face, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it with everyone.

Lin Yi's kick had sent him flying, but he wasn't actually hurt. The only injury he'd suffered was his face.

However, at this moment, he was acting as if nothing had happened. This showed that he had cultivated his skills in keeping up appearances to a high level. The crowd also pretended to have forgotten what had happened just now and left after drinking a glass of wine.

After Fang Gezi and the others left, Lin Yi cupped his fists and smiled at the silver-armored young man."Captain, thank you for your help. If it wasn't for you, there would have been a little trouble today."

The silver-armored young man waved his hand and asked the guards to stand guard outside the banquet hall. When he turned around, his face was already filled with a warm smile.

There was even a hint of flattery in his eyes, completely different from his previous performance.

"You're too polite, patrol envoy Sima. It's my duty. Just now, my subordinate was insensible and offended patrol envoy Sima. I should be the one apologizing!"

The silver-armored young man cupped his fists and bowed to Lin Yi before continuing,"This subordinate is Zuo Lei, my father is Zuo Si. I often hear my father mention patrol envoy Sima, and he holds him in high regard! Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation. This subordinate is filled with admiration!"

He spoke in a low voice to ensure that no one else could hear him.

Lin Yi was the vice-director of the inspection department, and there was no problem at all for Zuo Lei to call himself his subordinate!

He was Zuo SI's son, after all-it was only natural that he'd know Lin Yi's true identity!

He couldn't let his son suffer the same losses he'd suffered before, and he'd definitely warned Zuo Lei about Lin Yi coming to the starsource continent.

If Lin Yi didn't want to disclose his identity as the Vice Dean, then he'd have Zuo Lei play along and pretend he didn't know. He'd be able to get on his good side when the time came, and get to know him.

Zuo Lei was actually very happy that something like this had happened at the welcome dinner tonight.

He'd only wanted to show his face here, and now that he'd met Lin Yi, he'd gotten to know him and even left a good impression-what a great assist!

Speaking of which, he had to thank that disobedient little Captain. Later, his punishment could be slightly lighter!

"So it's Chief Inspector Zuo's son. He's really young and promising!"

Lin Yi was surprised-he didn't think he'd run into Zuo SI's son.

To be able to become the chief guard of the inspection department at this age, other than Zuo SI's support, Zuo Lei must also have his own strengths!

"I don't dare, I don't dare. In front of patrol Sima, who would dare to say that they are young and promising!"

Zuo Lei was speaking from the bottom of his heart-Lin Yi was even younger than him, and it'd take a long time before he could even get his position.

Just the Vice Dean of the inspection department alone was enough to leave him in the dust. He really didn't dare to say that he was young and promising in front of Lin Yi!

Lin Yi didn't think of this point, either-he'd been in a high position for a long time, and he'd treated Zuo Si as someone of the same generation as him, so it was only natural that he'd treat Zuo Lei as a junior.

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at the realization.

"Young master Zuo is too modest! Speaking of which, I haven't seen your father for some time. If there's a chance, we can meet up. For the time being, I'll have to trouble you to say hello to your father on his behalf!"

Lin Yi didn't have any bad feelings towards Zuo Si-he'd been bribed to go against Lin Yi, but he'd decided to join the good after finding out who Lin Yi was. He'd tried his best to salvage the situation.

Zuo Lei had helped Lin Yi solve a small problem this time, and so Lin Yi's attitude towards him was pretty good!

But that was all.

After some small talk, Lin Yi left the banquet.

The conflict was settled, but the other investigators all kept their distance from Lin Yi because of that. No one would risk offending seven second tier investigators just to get on Lin Yi's good side.

There was no point in staying, so it was better to return!

Lin Yi didn't care about the small incident at the dinner at all.

It was just seven second tier continents "investigators, not to mention the fact that Jin botian was Lin Yi's senior brother, just Lin Yi's Vice Dean identity was enough to kill them all.

Fang Gezi wanted to continue causing trouble for Lin Yi, but she didn't dare to act rashly after seeing the captain of the guards, Zuo Lei, talking to Lin Yi.
