348 Being Taken Advantage Of (1/2)
Luo Mingxin intended to explain, and Cedrick did not intend to interrupt. The misunderstanding should have been resolved right then, but to Luo Mingxin's surprise, the latter suddenly stepped on the brake to stop the car. He opened the door and got out. ”We're here.”
Huh? So soon? Luo Mingxin thought back to the car speed earlier and calculated the amount of time that he had exhausted in hesitation and shock… before finally releasing a sigh.
Cedrick took a deep breath and told Luo Mingxin seriously, ”You're right, perhaps I shouldn't have brought you along. After all, you and my mother… I mean, Madam Grace, have opposing stances.”
No, that is not the problem. When he said that Cedrick had got the wrong person, he did not mean it in a figurative way, but rather…
Luo Mingxin noticed the bodyguards coming out from the villa because they noticed the commotion, and he continued to sigh. Now, it looked like it was pointless to explain this situation.
Cedrick was not an invited guest, nor was the 'Ye Shuang' that he had brought. However, everyone knew that Madam Grace had a liking toward Ye Shuang, and even if they did not, with just a look of the man's face, they would know that he would be to Madam Grace's liking.
Therefore, when the bodyguards came with their questions, Cedrick represented the duo to say that they were there for Madam Grace. The bodyguards looked at each other and moved their hands away from the holster around their waist and picked up the walkie-talkies instead. ”We have two gentlemen visiting. One is Cedrick, and the other is a Chinese man, very handsome.”
Cedrick shared a look with Luo Mingxin; both of them thought that this introduction was rather unique. Most likely, the reporting bodyguard was also concerned about Madam Grace's thoughts and did not want to attract Madam Grace's ire for some unknown reason. Soon, the people on the other end of the walkie-talkie disappeared to ask another group of people. After the bodyguards put down the walkie-talkies, they walked toward the two to conduct a body search.
Cedrick did not mind it; he was not there to steal stuff anyway. However, Luo Mingxin was slightly nervous. His muscles were tense because he was not used to this kind of treatment. Thankfully, he was only wearing a silicone mask, and there was no problem with his body. A general body search only wanted to see whether he was carrying a weapon or not; they would not be so detailed as to check his face and teeth.
”Feeling nervous?” The bodyguard who was responsible for checking Luo Mingxin was a bit of a jerk. While he conducted the search, he pinched Luo Mingxin's muscles, and as he searched, he took advantage of the man. Instead of saying that he was searching, it was more like he was caressing, ”Is this your first time?”
”…” Luo Mingxin.
Cedrick's part was already done, so he urged impatiently, ”Can you work faster?”
The bodyguard sighed in regret. ”Fine, fine.”
As he said that, he picked up several glittering objects. He winked when the others were not paying attention and whispered, ”You can't bring this with you, handsome.”
Luo Mingxin had completely forgotten that he was carrying those banned items. Initially, he carried the bugs to maintain communication with Ye Shuang, but since he had been discovered with those items while trying to enter the villa, who would believe his innocence?
He looked at the bodyguard calmly. As dumb as Luo Mingxin was, he knew that was not the time to clarify the situation. Being dragged by Cedrick and noticing that the bodyguard had returned to his patrol with a poker face, Luo Mingxin decided not to say anything and turned to follow Cedrick into the villa.
Five minutes later…
”Yes, boss, we have another two guests.”
