"Chu Lingtian? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Chen Yuan glanced at Chu Lingtian's hair and the clothes on his back in the photo again and immediately shook her head.
"But this man's hairstyle and clothes are very similar to Chu Lingtian's..."
Yuan Jing was also skeptical.
"There are only so many hairstyles for men, and many men have the same hairstyle. Plus, many people wear the same style of clothes. Most importantly, I really don't believe that someone like Chu Lingtian would have such an extraordinarily close relationship with Goddess Su!"
Chen Yuan said with certainty.
Yuan Jing frowned. Indeed, whether she believed it or not, she was more inclined not to believe that Chu Lingtian and Su Feifei had a close relationship.
After all, Su Feifei was the most popular beautiful celebrity in Dragon Country today, the undisputed goddess of the nation. Who was Chu Lingtian? Just a security guard in an underground parking lot.
The difference in status between Chu Lingtian and Su Feifei was like heaven and earth, like people from completely different worlds.
How could such people possibly know each other?
Even if they knew each other, how could their relationship be so close that they could watch a movie together in such an intimate private booth at a cinema?
Let alone Su Feifei, who was as beautiful as a celestial being and adored by everyone. Even an ordinary woman would find it difficult to fall in love with Chu Lingtian, a security guard in an underground parking lot who was unromantic, lacked chivalry, and had no money, power, or influence.
"You're right. What do we do now?"
Yuan Jing pondered and asked Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Let everyone disperse. You and I will follow the direction that Goddess Su Feifei and that mysterious man left, and perhaps we'll run into them."
"Mmm-hmm."
Yuan Jing nodded.
Soon, the other male and female fans who were following Chen Yuan and Yuan Jing dispersed.
Yuan Jing and Chen Yuan then hailed a taxi by the roadside and asked the driver to drive faster in the direction the female fan had mentioned, hoping to encounter Su Feifei and the mysterious man with her again.
At this moment, Chu Lingtian and Su Feifei had already taken a taxi and arrived at the entrance of the best five-star hotel in Dachang City.
"Alright, I won't escort you in. Bye-bye."
Chu Lingtian said to Su Feifei with a smile.
Su Feifei gave Chu Lingtian a sidelong glance and asked, "Didn't you say you would escort me back to the hotel safely? We haven't reached your hotel room door yet, so you haven't fulfilled your promise."
"Okay, let's go then."
Chu Lingtian smiled and got out of the car.
Su Feifei walked ahead of Chu Lingtian, with Chu Lingtian following behind her.
As the two of them just walked into the hotel's first-floor lobby, they were intercepted by Su Feifei's mother, Cai Hong, and her slightly plump agent, Li Lanjuan.
"Mom, Mom, why are you here?"
Su Feifei was startled by her mother Cai Hong's angry gaze and asked softly.
"Who is he?"
Cai Hong did not respond to Su Feifei's words but looked menacingly at Chu Lingtian beside her.
Su Feifei was stunned. Her mother Cai Hong had always forbidden her from interacting with any man privately, fearing she would make a mistake in love, ruin her bright future, and lose the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.
Having lived with her mother since childhood, she dared not disobey her mother. Therefore, her initial plan was to bid farewell to Chu Lingtian after he escorted her to her hotel room door.
However, Su Feifei had not expected to run into her mother, Cai Hong, as soon as they reached the entrance of the hotel's first-floor lobby.
"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Chu Lingtian, he is my... friend."
Knowing her mother's temperament, Su Feifei said with a forced smile.
"Friend?"
Cai Hong's eyes scanned Chu Lingtian up and down.
Unaware that Cai Hong found him distasteful and had already deemed him a useless man, Chu Lingtian, out of basic courtesy, stepped forward, extended his right hand, and said to Cai Hong with a smile,
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Chu Lingtian."
"Hmph, I know your name is Chu Lingtian, and I also know you are a poor security guard in an underground parking lot!"
Cai Hong snorted coldly and did not shake Chu Lingtian's hand, showing him no pleasantries.
Chu Lingtian frowned, retracted his right hand, and said to Su Feifei, "Goodbye."
With that, Chu Lingtian put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.
"Mom, why are you like this? Chu Lingtian is my friend. You can't treat him like this."
Su Feifei was anxious. Although she understood her mother Cai Hong's snobbish nature, she hadn't expected her mother to embarrass Chu Lingtian so publicly.
"If I don't treat him like this, how should I treat him? Should I treat him like a son-in-law? Is a man with no power like him worthy?"
Cai Hong retorted at Su Feifei, then waved her right hand and said angrily,
"Stop Chu Lingtian!"
Clatter!
In an instant, more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits rushed out from all directions of the hotel's first-floor lobby, surrounding Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian stopped and turned to look at Cai Hong, who was walking towards him, and asked calmly with a smile, "What do you mean by this?"
"My intention is very simple: I want you to swear that you will never meet my daughter Su Feifei again. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave here safely today."
Cai Hong said sternly and arrogantly.
At this moment, the hotel's first-floor lobby had already been cleared of crowds by other security guards. No one, including the hotel staff, was allowed to approach Cai Hong and the others.
It had to be said that Su Feifei's mother, Cai Hong, was indeed a very strong and capable woman.
"First, I have no improper relationship with your daughter Su Feifei, nor am I pestering her. Second, I never accept threats from anyone. Third, I am leaving now. If you have the ability, you can try to stop me."
After speaking, Chu Lingtian sneered and turned to walk towards the hotel entrance again.
He knew Cai Hong looked down on him, thinking that an ordinary man with no power like him was not worthy of being friends with a beautiful celebrity like Su Feifei, and even more afraid that he and Su Feifei might get intimate.
"A mere security guard dares to be so arrogant? Beat him!"
Cai Hong gritted her teeth in anger and gave the order.
"No!"
Su Feifei quickly cried out to stop them, but it was too late.
Swish!
More than a dozen bodyguards in black suits rushed towards Chu Lingtian, punching and kicking him.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
One minute later.
Cai Hong, Su Feifei, and Li Lanjuan were all stunned on the spot, staring with wide eyes at the scene before them, unable to believe it.
All the more than a dozen bodyguards who had rushed to beat Chu Lingtian were kicked down by Chu Lingtian. They could only lie on the ground, screaming in agony, and could no longer get up. Throughout the ordeal, Chu Lingtian's hands remained in his pockets, never having been taken out.
With his hands still in his pockets, Chu Lingtian walked out of the hotel and suddenly stopped. He turned his head, his sharp, eagle-like gaze fixed on Cai Hong, who was trembling involuntarily from fear. He said in a deep voice,
"You can't judge a person by their appearance, just as you can't measure the sea with a ladle. Don't be so snobbish and look down on people. Even an ordinary person has dignity!"
