Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother
Chapter 75: Collaborative Effort to Deal with Ye Chen

Even Xiao Yongqiang was unable to calm the rage of the Luo family and was ultimately chased away dejectedly by Luo Mingde.

“Find Ye Chen for me. Even if he has left Magic City, track him down,” Luo Mingde ordered, mobilizing the Luo family’s resources to locate Ye Chen.

With the Luo family’s influence, it wouldn’t take long to find Ye Chen if he hadn’t left Modu.

After learning that the Luo family was searching for Ye Chen, Chen Luo also instructed Bai Meixiang to search for Ye Chen. If they could locate him, Chen Luo wouldn’t mind doing a good deed and sharing Ye Chen’s whereabouts with the Luo family.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend, after all.

“What a pity Luo Zixuan didn’t die. If he had, the Luo family would have gone even crazier,” Zhao Yingxuan expressed her disappointment.

It would have been interesting if the Luo family’s wrath extended to involve Yongqiang Group.

Although the collaboration between the Luo family and Yongqiang Group had been severed, it wasn’t a severe blow to Yongqiang Group, and she couldn’t cause much trouble for them.

“But that Ye Chen is definitely doomed this time,” she added.

“Not necessarily,” Chen Luo shook his head. While Ye Chen would face trouble, it wasn’t certain that he would die. As the protagonist shielded by a hero’s aura, Ye Chen could evade life-threatening crises.

“You don’t think the Luo family will let Ye Chen off, do you?”

“The Luo family won’t let Ye Chen go, but that doesn’t mean he will die easily. If he were that easy to kill, I would have dealt with him myself long ago.”

Despite having wiped out Ye Chen’s mercenary group, Chen Luo still considered Ye Chen his biggest adversary.

If Ye Chen didn’t die, Chen Luo wouldn’t be able to rest easy. Although he wanted Ye Chen dead, he didn’t believe the Luo family could eliminate him.

“We have news about Ye Chen,” Xia Lan approached Chen Luo.

“Where is he?” Chen Luo’s eyes lit up, ready to inform the Luo family of Ye Chen’s location and watch the ensuing drama.

“The information comes from Bai Meixiang. She says Ye Chen got in touch with the Wang family and is currently their guest,” Xia Lan reported.

Chen Luo was familiar with the Wang family, one of the four major families in Magic City. This was bad news for him, but not unexpected. Probably the work of Ye Chen’s protagonist halo.

“How did he get involved with the Wang family?”

Zhao Yingxuan was surprised by this development, having never regarded Ye Chen highly. Yet, someone she underestimated had established ties with the Wang family.

“Yesterday, the Wang family’s patriarch was attacked, and Ye Chen saved his life,” Xia Lan explained Ye Chen’s connection to the Wang family in response to Zhao Yingxuan’s question. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

After hearing Xia Lan’s explanation, Chen Luo realized just how absurdly powerful the protagonist’s halo was. Ye Chen had just encountered trouble and already found a powerful benefactor to solve his problems.

The Wang family patriarch held high status in Magic City, and even the Luo family would have to give face to him. Reluctantly, the Luo family would now have to let Ye Chen go.

But more importantly, for Chen Luo, this meant trouble. The Wang family had become a potential enemy. Anyone assisting the protagonist was an enemy to him.

“It looks like I need to meet with Luo Mingde,” Chen Luo mused to himself.

“By the way, what is the relationship between the Wang and Luo families?” Chen Luo asked Zhao Yingxuan.

Although he knew both the Wang and Luo families were among the four major families in the city, he wasn’t clear about the specifics of their relationship.

“In Magic City, among the four major families, there’s always open and covert competition. The relationship between the Wang and Luo families isn’t great, but they haven’t completely fallen out with each other,” Zhao Yingxuan explained.

“That’s good enough,” Chen Luo thought, seeing an opportunity to manipulate the relationship between the two families potentially.

“I need to make a trip to Magic City Hospital.”

“Why are you going there?”

“Of course, to check on Luo Zixuan’s condition.”

But visiting Luo Zixuan was secondary, it was just a pretext. Chen Luo’s main goal was to meet Luo Mingde.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Luo Zixuan was still unconscious and hadn’t woken up.

“Chen Luo, thank you for coming to see Zixuan,” Luo Mingde said politely when facing Chen Luo, mainly because he always suspected Chen Luo had a formidable force backing him.

“Although Luo Zixuan and I had some misunderstandings, we had a good relationship before. Now that he’s injured, as a friend, I naturally had to come and see him.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Luo steered the conversation towards the main topic.

“I wonder if Mr. Luo has caught Ye Chen?”

Hearing Ye Chen’s name, Luo Mingde’s face clouded with a bit more gloom.

“Previously, the Wang family’s patriarch personally called me, trying to mediate the situation,” Luo Mingde revealed.

He had, of course, investigated the incident where Ye Chen saved the elder Wang the previous day, injuring his son and then turning around to rescue the Wang family’s patriarch. By saving the Wang family’s elder, Ye Chen essentially became their lifesaver, and it was certain that the Wang family would help resolve this issue for Ye Chen.

However, Luo Mingde was not willing to let go, as Luo Zixuan had almost faced a life-threatening situation. He couldn’t fathom the idea of forgiving Ye Chen.

“I see. Mr. Luo, you must be aware that I, too, have conflicts with Ye Chen. In fact, if we plan to deal with Ye Chen, we could join forces,” Chen Luo straightforwardly proposed a collaboration to Luo Mingde to target Ye Chen. He knew that even if he didn’t spell it out, a cunning old fox like Luo Mingde would guess his intentions, so it was better to be upfront.

“Mr. Luo, you haven’t found out about Ye Chen’s background, did you?”

“Oh, so you know his background?”

Luo Mingde’s eyes flickered with interest. He hadn’t been able to uncover Ye Chen’s background, only knowing that he had returned from abroad not long ago. Although he managed to trace the flight Ye Chen took back to the country, any further information remained elusive.

Chen Luo had no reservations about disclosing information about Ye Chen.

“Has Mr. Luo ever heard of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group?”

Luo Mingde shook his head, indicating his unfamiliarity. He hadn’t paid attention to such matters and thus was unaware of them.

“Mercenaries, you understand what they do. Ye Chen is actually the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. However, he’s now a toothless tiger, as the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, aside from Ye Chen, has already been annihilated,” Chen Luo explained, aware that Luo Mingde would investigate the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.

Therefore, he did not bother to narrate their illustrious history, considering a destroyed force unworthy of introduction.

“So this guy is a mercenary, no wonder he’s so capable of a fighter,” Luo Mingde mused with a cold smile in his eyes. Regardless of Ye Chen’s identity, Luo Mingde had no intention of letting him off easily.

“The Wang family patriarch has invited me to a banquet at their place to discuss this matter. I wonder, Chen Luo, are you interested in joining?” Luo Mingde had agreed to collaborate in dealing with Ye Chen.

The enemy of his enemy was his friend, and it was an opportune moment for Luo Mingde to strengthen ties with Chen Luo, especially after hearing that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group had been wiped out, except for Ye Chen, which he surmised was Chen Luo’s doing.

“It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to attend since the Wang family invited you, Mr. Luo,” Chen Luo hesitated.

“No matter, the Wang family wouldn’t dare to object,” Luo Mingde confidently asserted.

His acceptance of the invitation was already a favor to the Wang family, considering it stemmed from their desire to intercede on Ye Chen’s behalf. Even if he declined, the Wang family couldn’t hold a grudge.

“In that case, I shall accompany Mr. Luo for a visit,” Chen Luo decided after some thought, keen to witness the event and acquaint himself with the Wang family, potential adversaries in the future.
