bodyguard against fate

Chapter 59 Mud Pit

"That's right, you should repay my kindness by letting me go and allowing me to pass—"

"Then I'm not repaying your kindness, I'm repaying General Manager He's kindness!"

"Has Xiuli done you any favors? I'm the one who brought you here!"

"I have already repaid your kindness. From the day you fired me, we are even."

"You're wrong. Did I provoke you?"

"It's you."

"So what did I say?"

"You said you wanted to hire a driver who would also act as a bodyguard."

"How can you prove you can be a bodyguard?"

"I pulled up the tree!"

"No, you didn't pull it out!"

"I pulled it out—"

"I don't remember. Show me again!"

"What kind of memory do you have? That day, I found the money tree like this, and then I pulled it up like this—"

Feng Weida happened to find a money tree in the living room on the first floor and showed it to Wu Renxing. But when he looked up, he found that Wu Renxing had already run away.

"No, Mr. Wu, you're not going to talk to me anymore?"

That's it. If Wu Renxing doesn't hire Feng Weida, then Feng Weida isn't a bodyguard. If Feng Weida isn't a bodyguard, then he has no obligation to protect He Xiuli, and he doesn't even have the chance to get to know He Xiuli.

At this moment, He Xiuli walked in.

"Xiao Feng, where's Wu Renxing?"

"Mr. He, who are you?"

Feng Weida was successfully tricked by Wu Renxing!

Three police cars were parked outside the villa, and more than a dozen armed police officers had blocked the exit. Several wolfhounds were barking wildly at the yard. When Zhang Hao, Qiang Ge, and Fatty saw the police at the gate, they tried to escape by climbing over the wall in different directions, but each of them was subdued by the police and caught red-handed.

Only Wu Renxing didn't go through the front; instead, he chose to break out from behind the villa. The police who had just arrived obviously hadn't had time to surround him yet, and Wu Renxing successfully jumped over the wall and fled in panic.

"Xiao Feng, why don't you recognize me?" He Xiuli asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Wu isn't hiring me anymore, so we haven't seen each other."

He Xiuli didn't understand his thought process. "Wu Renxing fired you, but didn't I bring you back?"

One sentence awakened Feng Weida: "Mr. He, it turns out you are my true mentor!"

"I did act impulsively that day; I shouldn't have driven you—"

He Xiuli admitted her mistake.

"You fired me again?" Feng Weida's stubbornness flared up again.

"But now I've thought it through. I agree to let you come back to work, Xiao Feng. You'll still be my driver and bodyguard!"

"You don't mind that I've been to a mental hospital?"

"The most important thing in judging a person is their character. Even if you have a history of mental illness, it doesn't mean you will hurt others. Xiao Feng, I believe in you!"

That day at the mental hospital, He Xiuli would have been gone long ago if it weren't for the help of other mental patients. That's why she doesn't discriminate against mental patients now.

"Mr. He, don't worry, I guarantee I'll bring Mr. Wu back to you!"

"Arresting people...isn't that the police's job? What are you doing there?" He Xiuli asked, puzzled.

"He didn't provoke me. I don't know him at all; he's a complete stranger. For a stranger to follow my boss is a challenge to my bottom line. I'll teach him a lesson!"

Feng Weida said it, and he did it. Wu Renxing was new to the area and unfamiliar with the surroundings. He stumbled along, unsure of where he was going, and one of his feet got stuck in a mud pit. He couldn't pull himself out for a long time. With the help of Black Cow, Feng Weida quickly found him in the wilderness.

"Little Feng, didn't you say you'd let me go if you gave me a million?" Wu Renxing begged for mercy, covered in mud.

"Who are you calling Xiao Feng? Do we know each other that well?" Feng Weida asked.

"Aren't we familiar enough? I know you and your wife are divorced!"

With a "slap," Feng Weida slapped him across the face.

"Don't ask questions. Tell me, why are you following Mr. He?"

Wu Renxing was on the verge of tears: "Xiuli is my wife, and I'm her husband. It's not illegal to stalk my own wife, is it?"

"Nonsense, Ms. He is divorced, so where would she get a husband?"

"They're not divorced yet—"

"Slap!" Another slap landed on Wu Renxing's face.

"You're already eyeing her even before the divorce; who else would I beat up if not you?"

From the very first day he recruited Feng Weida, Wu Renxing had been hoping and hoping that Feng Weida would have a breakdown so that he could take the blame for him. However, he had failed time and time again. Now Feng Weida was finally confused, but Wu Renxing didn't know whether he was pretending to be confused or genuinely confused. Instead, Wu Renxing hoped that Feng Weida would be mentally healthy and stable. Otherwise, if he were to die in the mud, he wouldn't even have to pay for his own death, and it would be too pathetic for him to die.

Fortunately, the police arrived shortly afterward and arrested Wu Renxing.

It turned out that the police had already set up a stakeout around the villa. When the officers on stakeout spotted Wu Renxing and his group, they immediately called for backup. As a result, the police quickly arrived at the scene and apprehended Wu Renxing, Zhang Hao, Brother Qiang, and the others.

After being rescued, He Yong and Lao Zheng were both fine. The two old enemies of more than 20 years finally met and buried the hatchet with a smile.

"Old Zheng, thank goodness you took that hit for me, otherwise half my face would be swollen—"

"You took a kick for me too, my frail old back is killing me—"

"If I could go back twenty years, I could take on two of them by myself—"

"Oh, by the way, is it true that Xiuli is transferring the shares to my godson?"

"Of course it's true! I asked Xiuli myself, it can't be fake!"

He Yong and Lao Zheng lay on the hospital bed, their bodies wrapped in bandages, with almost only their mouths sticking out, but that didn't stop them from bragging.

In the hospital lobby, Feng Weida was carrying a hot boxed lunch towards the ward when he ran into He Xiuli.

"Mr. He!"

He Xiuli looked behind her and saw no one, confirming that Feng Weida hadn't called the wrong person.

"Do you recognize me now?"

"Mr. He, you're too kind. How could I not recognize you!"

"I told you, from now on you don't need to call me General Manager He, call me Sister He—"

"I... can't bring myself to say it, it's a little awkward."

"Whatever you want, call me whatever you like."

"Okay, Xiuli."

The two of them suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Weida, I've thought it over, and I still can't hire you as my driver," He Xiuli said.

"Huh, why?" Feng Weida was confused. He Xiuli had agreed so readily before, why did she suddenly change her mind? "Is it because I've been to a mental hospital?"

"Not entirely—"

"I went for the test again last week, and the results will be out in the next couple of days. I promise you can rest assured—" Feng Weida was a little anxious. He wasn't afraid of losing his job, but rather that he was afraid of not being able to work with He Xiuli.

"I've decided to transfer 30% of my shares to you, so from now on you'll be my partner and the company's vice president. I can't afford such an expensive driver," He Xiuli said.

"What?" Feng Weida wondered if he had misheard. Wu Renxing used to be the vice president, and now it was his turn?

At this moment, Wu Meng came over, carrying several takeout orders. She met the deliveryman at the door and took them from him.

"Sister-in-law, here's the takeout you ordered—"

As a result, Wu Meng accidentally bumped into a patient who was using crutches.

"Are you blind?!" the patient with crutches shouted angrily.
