Chapter 14 - The Day of the Finals
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were few. The coastal road was filled with cars. And yet, beneath the orange street lights, there was a rented bicycle speeding speeding along the road.
A huge rabbit doll was sitting on the top tube in front of Chen Min, nestling in his chest just like a lover. As for Dream Jade, she was sitting in the back seat, embracing Chen Min’s waist with a single arm, and leaning on his back. When the wind blew past her legs, it would cause her short skirt to flutter up, her zebra striped stockings flashing a halo of light that attracted wolves.
Dream Jade’s arbitrary release of that driver caused Chen Min to have fish bone stuck in his throat[1]. However, he wasn’t worried that that kind of trash could cause him any problems. He just really wanted to know, how such a mentally impaired fanboy could find his whereabouts twice within two days. This definitely could not be explained by good luck.
He originally wanted to use some interrogation techniques from the battlefield to obtain information, but with Dream Jade, this kind of obstinate superstar, he had no chance to.
He rapidly biked Dream Jade back to the villa. Naturally, Xiao Yi was already there and chatting with Wu Neng. Dream Jade was tired, so she directly went upstairs to rest while hugging the rabbit doll which was even taller than her. Chen Min on the other hand, somberly sat opposite Wu Neng
“What do you plan on doing? Wu Neng asked.
“From now onwards, Miss Dream Jade’s protection level will be increased. I have to know her schedule 12 hours in advance, including a list of who she’s going to meet and their personal information.” Chen Min said frankly.
“What? Did that driver scare you? Xiao Yi already told me what happened. All though the fan was a crackpot, but aren’t you a bit too cowardly?” Wu Neng said with a tinge of disdain.
“What’s worrying me isn’t that fatass, but rather the real criminal behind that guy.”
“You didn’t find out who it was?” Wu Neng finally got serious.
“I didn’t have the chance, but no matter, I know he’ll make his move again. But next time, he’ll regret provoking me.” Chen Min callously said.
“I also want to see, which bastard dared to touch my client?” This was the first time that Wu Neng and Chen Min had a kind of tacit agreement.
Seeing this pair of top notch cold smiles, Xiao Yi unconsciously shivered.
On the fourth day, Wu Neng finally began to trust this bodyguard that did not want money. He not only told Chen Min the schedule 12 hours in advance, he even gave Chen Min the job of deciding the route. Although the route Chen Min plotted wasted an extra 5 to 10 minutes, the case of them being followed never happened again.
The finals got closer day by day. Dream Jade was so busy that even her sleeping time was pushed down to the lower limit. Every day she was interviewed non-stop, had to dance without pause, and sing without stopping. She was tired and dizzy in the toilet, and was exhausted to the point where she couldn’t even hold her chopsticks. Suddenly, when she was talking about how the finals would progress, she had a 39.8°C fever and fell asleep in this way……
What Wu Neng did for her was to wake her up and continue her unfinished work. As for Chen Min, he became a full-time nurse, and attentively took care of her body condition. It was hard to imagine how such a delicate girl was so tough. The work intensity was already so high that it threatened to tear her apart, and yet Dream Jade didn’t say a single complaint.
In her view, this was what a celebrity should be. Only through putting in one hundred times as much effort as normal people, could they be worthy of their fan’s admiration. These two days, Xiao Yi accompanied Dream Jade,causing her to lose interest in Wu Neng’s proposal. Even Xiao Yi, who could for the sake of shooting more accurately, train until her arm cramped, wasn’t willing to practice the same action on stage 200 times just to please others.
On the 7th day, the day of the competition arrived. Since early morning, the outside of the stadium was completely surrounded by fan groups, the media, old grandmas selling glow sticks and ticket scalpers all came at the appointed time. Several local channels even interrupted their regularly scheduled programs from time to time to report about the event. It was as if the World Cup’s finals were about to be held there.
The concert’s security was also not bad. Apart from a mobile security team every 30m watching the stage, there was even a human wall made out of as many as 30 security guards surrounding the stage.
“With this kind of lineup, it shouldn’t reach our turn to act right?” In front of the audience area, Xiao Yi said as she followed Chen Min in familiarizing herself with the event venue. Seeing the lineup of security guards up ahead, Xiao Yi had the pleasurable feeling of having her job stolen.
“Before the contract expires, we have to go all out! This is a duty.” Chen Min meticulously checked the environment. He even used measuring instruments.
“Up to you. That said, once it’s over, what are you going to do? Do you want to continue being Dream Jade’s bodyguard? I can see that she likes you quite a bit.” Asked with her hands in her pocket while looking elsewhere.
“The Chen Family Bodyguard Service undertakes all kinds of protection missions, but has never worked with the same person more than once. Even though I don’t know why, but this is dad’s rule. I have to respect it.” Chen Min calmly replied.
“If Dream Jade knew about this rule, she would definitely be very sad.” Xiao Yi sighed lightly.
“She won’t know, because I‘ll quietly leave. I don’t plan on saying goodbye.” Chen Min finally finished checking the stage. He kept away his tools and said,” let’s go! Back to the dressing room.”
“Emotionless machine…… Just what kind of sin must be committed in the past life, to blindly fall for you, this thing, in this one?” Xiao Yi softly said to herself.
“My ears are very good, don’t talk bad about me behind my back, be careful, I might just dock your pay.” Chen Min had already walked 5m away.
“Am I even getting paid?” Xiao Yi coldly laughed before catching up to him.
