Chapter 599: Being Your Bodyguard

Feng Tianyu immediately noticed the strange expression on someone's face, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: "Not welcome?"

Li Weiming trembled with fright and hurriedly said, "Welcome, welcome! My brother has always admired Mr. Feng. He will definitely be very happy to meet Mr. Feng. Yes, very happy."

Li Weiming gave a few dry laughs at the end, clearly quite frightened.

Li Weiming's fear of Feng Tianyu was so obvious that even Ye Wanxi, who was slow to notice, noticed it. She gave Feng Tianyu's sleeve a warning tug, cleared her throat, and said, "Then it's settled. What about your brother..."

Li Weiming glanced at Feng Tianyu discreetly, and seeing that he was no longer staring at him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry about my brother, I'll explain things to him beforehand. I wonder if Miss Ye is free these next few days?"

Li Weiming was extremely anxious because his elder brother was in danger at any moment, and he wished he could invite Ye Wanxi to his home right now.

But he also knew that this request was too presumptuous, and even if Ye Wanxi agreed, the powerful figure beside her would not agree.

"I happen to have nothing to do these two days." The backlog of work was finished yesterday, and the crew of Fifth Brother's film will not start filming until the day after tomorrow, so she can take a couple of days off.

Li Weiming's eyes brightened slightly: "That's wonderful. I'll discuss it with my brother when I get back. If all goes well, I hope Miss Ye can come to my house to meet my brother tomorrow, or I can bring my brother to meet you directly."

"Okay, just give me a call once you've confirmed it. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

"Okay, take care, you two."

Ye Wanxi took Feng Tianyu's arm and went out to find a car. Li Weiming watched the two leave his sight, then hurriedly took out his phone to call his brother.

"Xiao Ming? Why are you calling me at this hour?"

Normally, Li Weiming would have been furious to hear his brother call him that, but right now he was so focused on his brother's safety that he didn't care about that at all.

"Brother, where are you now? Have you gone home yet?"

"Not yet, I'm at the company. Is there something you need from your brother?"

"Could you go home now? I need to talk to you urgently, or I can come to your company now."

Sensing that his younger brother seemed a little off, Li Juexing gradually stopped joking and became serious: "Did something happen to you? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but what I need to say is really important, and it's hard to say over the phone, so I'm coming to see you now."

"Where are you now?"

"At the entrance of the new housing complex."

"Then you go straight home, I'm going back now too."

"good."

Li Weiming had arranged a meeting place with his brother, and turned to say goodbye to Wen Jue and the others, only to find that they had all gone home and were nowhere to be found.

Looking at the empty space behind him, Li Weiming gritted his teeth, then laughed angrily, "These heartless bastards!"

On the other side, Ye Wanxi and her companion, having successfully located their car, drove back.

As soon as Pu sat in the passenger seat, Ye Wanxi asked with a half-smile, "Why did you come here tonight? Don't tell me you came here specifically to hitch a ride with me; I could smell your scent just now."

Even though I sprayed extra perfume to cover it up, I still couldn't completely get rid of the strange smell that hadn't yet dissipated.

Ye Wanxi smelled it when she hugged her, but it wasn't convenient to discuss it since Li Weiming and the others were there.

Feng Tianyu's subordinate paused, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. He wanted to hide it, but when he met Ye Wanxi's eyes, all his words turned into a sigh.

"You were right before, there are indeed problems with this neighborhood."

Ye Wanxi suddenly turned to look at him: "What's the problem?"

"It's somewhat similar to the situation in Linjia Village before, except that this residential area was built relatively recently, and the passive manipulation was more covert."

Where?

"The sea area behind."

"You mean..."

"To be precise, it should be deep in the ocean, and an invisible protective array has been added."

Ye Wanxi suddenly realized why she always felt uncomfortable in this place, but couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"Anyone who can do this is probably no less capable than you or me."

Feng Tianyu nodded: "Tonight, on the rooftop of the building in the center of the community, I caught something that shouldn't be seen by anyone."

"What?"

"A living dead who was trained to be a puppet double."

Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly. There are generally two situations in which someone is refined into a living dead. One is that they cannot accept the loss of their loved ones. Even if they cannot keep the soul of their loved ones, they will not hesitate to pay a terrible price to keep the body of their loved ones with forbidden techniques.

Another type is the tool person who is refined to run errands for oneself, divert attention, and do things that are inconvenient for oneself. When necessary, they can also become suicide soldiers, perish together with the enemy, and exchange a glimmer of hope for oneself.

Feng Tianyu clearly encountered the second type tonight.

"Are you injured? Where's that thing? Is it...?"

"I'm fine. I'm not afraid of either the living or the dead, let alone something that's no longer human. I cut the threads binding it, wiped away the remaining evil energy, and finally destroyed the control medium it carried. It vanished on the spot."

Feng Tianyu paused, then continued, "When I went up, it had silk threads wrapped around its hands, probably secretly controlling something on behalf of its master. How did things go on your end tonight?"

Before Ye Wanxi could catch her breath, she heard Feng Tianyu's next few words. She immediately thought of Lu Zheyan's sudden loss of control not long ago, and the inexplicably lost fragment of memory. Could it be…?

"He may be manipulating the negative energy of the entire neighborhood to stir up the negative emotions of certain people in the area."

What Ye Wanxi didn't quite understand was that granting a puppet substitute the ability to mobilize the Yin energy of an entire neighborhood showed how powerful the owner was, and indirectly indicated that he valued this puppet substitute quite a bit.

Yet this puppet, which she valued so highly, wasn't given any means of self-defense, allowing her senior brother to so easily vanish without a trace.

Is it because her senior brother is too strong, or is there another hidden reason?

"Now that we know the object is hidden deep in the sea, has someone gone to retrieve it and destroy it?"

"Not yet. There are quite a few people living in this community, and taking things out rashly could easily cause problems. However, starting tomorrow, Xiao Baihui's people will take over the management here, and the residents will be settled and moved out one by one, so there's no need to worry."

Since Feng Tianyu had said so, Ye Wanxi felt a little relieved.

"That's good. Are you really going to come with me to the Li family?"

"Um."

Ye Wanxi chuckled: "I'm going to take care of some important business. What are you doing following me?"

"I'll be your bodyguard."

"???"
