Urban Top Bodyguard

It was deep autumn, with a high sky and wispy clouds, as a flight intermittently appeared and disappeared among the clouds.

Wang Yu sat by the window, gazing at the cottony clouds outside, filled with many emotions.

At the age of twelve, he had been forced to leave his hometown to avoid a catastrophe, wandering from place to place. In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed, and he was finally on his way home. But had that incident from the past been resolved? And what about those brothers from before, were they still around?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane will enter the airspace of the Yan Kingdom in twenty minutes. The Yan Kingdom, with its five-thousand-year-old history~~~"

The sweet voice of the flight attendant came through the broadcast, and Wang Yu looked away with a soft sigh, turning to glance at the girl sitting beside him.

The girl appeared to be in her early twenties and had delicate facial features, with long, black, lustrous hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. A jade pendant hung on her pale, powdery neck, and a thin gold bracelet adorned her wrist, presenting an overall impression of tranquility, grace, and style.

At that moment, the girl's attention was focused on a travel magazine in her hands, seemingly absorbed in it.

During his years abroad, Wang Yu had mostly seen blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign women, with relatively fewer Asian faces, and even fewer as beautiful as the one before him, which is why he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Just then, the girl inadvertently lifted her head to glance out the window and caught Wang Yu staring at her intently. Her face flushed, she rolled her eyes at Wang Yu and pulled the neckline of her top a bit tighter.

What does that mean? Does she think I'm staring at something I shouldn't be? How could she jump to such a conclusion?

The girl's actions left Wang Yu feeling a bit frustrated, but upon reflection, he admitted that his gaze had been indeed too brazen, and he couldn't blame her for seeing him as someone who liked to peep, so he just smiled, shook his head, and looked away.

"Everyone, let's play a game!"

Suddenly, a loud voice rang out in the cabin, causing a stir among the passengers.

Wang Yu was startled and stood up to look around. He saw that eight men had somehow taken positions in the aisle, each brandishing a weapon, looking fierce and malevolent.

Money? Damn! Could it be a robbery?

The thought instantly formed in Wang Yu's mind, and at that moment, one of the weapon-wielding men with scars on his face gestured to the others. Two of them rushed toward the cockpit, while the rest scattered to cover every corner of the cabin.

The behavior of the men confirmed Wang Yu's suspicions, and these robbers were quite professional at that.

Wang Yu frowned, sat back down slowly, and rested his chin in hand, lost in thought. He wasn't pondering what to do at the moment but rather how these men had managed to bring weapons on board in Y Kingdom and why they decided to hijack a plane.

"Quiet down! No noise!"

The man with the scars on his face stood in the noisy cabin and shouted, immediately silencing the cabin. All the passengers obediently sat still in their seats, not daring to move.

Scarface seemed pleased with the passengers' compliance, grinned, and then said, "There's no need to be afraid. As long as you all behave, I guarantee no harm will come to you. Our goal is to have the Y Kingdom government pay a ransom for you, but I have a fondness for money, so I'll be taking what you have on you as well. Whoever I come up to, that person will hand over their banknotes and valuables. If anyone refuses to cooperate, don't blame me for putting a few holes in them."

After Scarface finished speaking, he began his sinister deeds. Perhaps it was his threat that had an effect, or maybe the passengers were all wealthy enough, but for whatever reason, the passengers all complied with his demands, quietly handing over their money and possessions.

Watching the flow of riches coming his way, Scars smiled gleefully. Unaware, he had reached Wang Yu's side.

"You, hurry up!" Scarface pointed his weapon at the girl next to Wang Yu, snarling at her.

Even though the girl's face was filled with terror, she did not obey Scarface's orders; instead, she lowered her head and leaned her body toward Wang Yu.

Seeing the girl didn't listen, Scarface's eyebrows raised, and he said coldly, "What's this? Are you so desperate for money that you don't even want your life? It seems you're asking for a few more bullet holes!" With that, Scarface made a "clack" sound as he pulled the bolt of his weapon.

The girl, terrified, shuddered all over, then, with trembling hands, she took out her wallet, removed all the banknotes inside, and handed them to Scarface.

"That's more like it!"

Scarface revealed his large yellow teeth, took the money, and then glanced at the girl, afterward pointing at the jade pendant around her neck and the gold chain on her wrist, "This one, and this one too, take them off!"

The girl bit her lip, with shaking hands removed the gold chain and jade pendant, and during the handover she said in a trembling voice, "Please, could you leave the jade pendant for me? It's the only thing my mother left me before she passed away."

After she spoke, the girl mustered the courage to look up at Scarface, tears twinkling in her eyes, making her look all the more pitiful.

The moment the girl looked up, her delicate features immediately appeared before Scarface's eyes.

Scarface was taken aback, and then a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"I never thought there'd be such a beautiful chick on the plane!"

As he spoke, Scarface's gaze greedily circled the girl's body, and then he smirked and said, "Fair enough! Fair enough! As long as you make me comfortable, not only will I leave the jade pendant, but I'll give you the chain too." Having said that, he reached out toward the girl.

"Ah!"

The girl screamed in fright, flailed her arms, then pressed her upper body tightly against Wang Yu, and while holding onto one of Wang Yu's arms, she looked up at him with eyes full of hope and pleading, "Sir, please help me!"

Even though Wang Yu's prior gaze had led her to misjudge him as a petty voyeur, in the face of danger, she had no choice but to place her hopes on Wang Yu, who was closest to her.

As soon as he heard her plea, Scarface instantly aimed his weapon at Wang Yu, ready to blow Wang Yu's head off if he dared to step forward and play the hero.

Wang Yu looked at the girl in astonishment, thinking, You just treated me with that attitude, yet now you're asking for my help; hasn't this change come too quickly? But even if you hadn't asked for help, I'd still intervene—can't I just stand by and watch a woman being bullied?

What's more, after he finishes robbing you, won't he just come to rob me?

"Sigh!"

Wang Yu shook his head and sighed softly; he hadn't wanted to cause trouble on his way home, but he had unfortunately run into a few blind robbers—a real headache!

Seeing Wang Yu shake his head, the girl thought he was unwilling to help her, and despair immediately clouded her eyes.

Scarface also misunderstood Wang Yu's gesture, thinking to himself that this migrant worker knew the score. After having his fun, he would leave him some travel money—after all, migrant workers have it hard.

Migrant worker? Indeed. Wang Yu was wearing a faded camouflage outfit, the very picture of a migrant worker. However, he was a migrant worker who could afford a plane ticket.

"Kid, you know your place!"

Scarface sneered at Wang Yu, then reached out toward the girl once more. Just at that moment, Wang Yu made his move.
