Tang Shuo, an ace soldier who retired from the mysterious organization '037', accidentally became the bodyguard of a stunning female celebrity.
From then on, various 'troubles'...
Chapter 57: How much do you think your daughter is worth?
Tang Shuo came out of Chen Chuan's ward, said a few words to Wu Lingyun, and then went out to make a phone call.
"Vulture, help me find out who has come to China recently." Tang Shuo said into the phone.
Vulture is an intelligence dealer on the international black market. As long as you can afford the price, you can get any information you want from him.
Tang Shuo once saved the other person's life, and the two kept in touch afterwards.
In fact, this vulture had helped Tang Shuo a lot in the past. He was able to rescue Wu Lingyun and Bai Miao in time because of the vulture's information.
The perpetrator of this attack took the initiative to take poison when he saw that his plan had failed. He can be considered a suicide.
Just based on the fact that they could send out death squads, Tang Shuo ruled out Qiao Bazhi and others.
The club's security recruitment information was released only a few days ago, and every security guard recruited has undergone identity verification. Logically, there should be no problems.
Tang Shuo felt that this was most likely an ordinary person who was bribed by someone at a high price and was sent to kill him after receiving some simple and temporary training.
It sounds a bit out of place to let an ordinary person complete such a task, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that placing such a person around you can indeed increase the chances of success.
First of all, the security guard is his own man.
Secondly, Tang Shuo would not be so vigilant towards an ordinary person who obviously posed no threat to him.
If Tang Shuo had to be on guard against everyone around him at all times, he would definitely be exhausted to death.
If the attack succeeds, then there will be no further action. If the attack fails, then even if you investigate the opponent's background, you will only find that there are no loopholes in their identity, and there will be no gains.
And to be able to accomplish such a thing in such a short time is no ordinary organization.
If Lu Wanqi had not been injured this time, Tang Shuo might not have called Vulture. He would have remained silent for a while and waited for the mastermind behind the scenes to gradually surface.
He had almost always acted on behalf of the Chinese military, but no one outside knew this.
Because of the various tasks, Tang Shuo offended countless people and had no way to kill all his enemies. He also had no idea which of his former enemies did it.
But now he no longer plans to wait for the murderer. Whoever planned this attack, he planned to kill them all!
Everyone has a reverse scale.
Tang Shuo's Achilles' heel is the people around him!
Perhaps Lu Wanqi was not his woman before, but from the moment Lu Wanqi rushed to save him, Tang Shuo had already regarded her as his own.
The reason for his change of mindset was the woman he met in the elevator that morning.
Previously, he had always believed that he was close to death, so he did not dare to reveal his feelings. But now that he knew he had hope of continuing to live, his mentality naturally changed.
"Tang?" the person on the other side asked tentatively.
"It's me." Tang Shuo replied.
"Ok, I'll tell you as soon as I have any news." Vulture said in a not-so-standard London accent.
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Shuo saw a middle-aged couple getting out of a BMW not far away. After getting out of the car, the couple rushed into the hospital in a hurry.
The eyebrows of these two people are somewhat similar to Lu Wanqi, so it is not difficult to see each other's identities.
Tang Shuo therefore had no intention of going in to guard the place. Wu Lingyun was in the hospital, so he didn't need to worry about Lu Wanqi's safety.
…………
After Lu Xiangrong received the news that Lu Wanqi was injured and hospitalized, he immediately rushed to Yanjing with Lu Qian.
The couple remained silent along the way, and Lu Xiangrong's face was even more ashen.
They really couldn't understand why the woman who had always been kind and well-behaved was injured, and it was a gunshot wound.
Even though they had heard on the way here that their daughter was out of danger, how could they feel at ease without seeing her in person?
Looking at Lu Wanqi lying on the hospital bed with her shoulders tightly wrapped, Lu Qian's tears flowed down. When had Lu Wanqi ever suffered such an injury since she was a child?
Lu Xiangrong consulted the doctor and finally put his mind at ease after confirming again and again that Lu Wanqi was not in danger.
Lu Xiangrong called Xiao Ran, who had been guarding the hospital, out of the ward and asked, "What happened between you and Wanqi?"
"Uncle, this is what happened." Xiao Ran said apologetically, his eyes red. "We went to a club this afternoon, and a madman in the lobby pulled out a gun and started shooting without any reason. Wanqi was injured, and so was a security guard at the club."
"Is it the Southern Club?" Lu Xiangrong asked with a frown.
"How do you know?" Xiao Ran asked in surprise.
She deliberately concealed the truth in order to hide Tang Shuo.
Lu Wanqi is now willing to give up her life for Tang Shuo. It is obvious that she is really in love with Tang Shuo. At the same time, Tang Shuo's attitude towards Lu Wanqi has also changed.
If Lu Xiangrong were told the whole story, it would definitely hinder their future interactions. After all, no one wants to see their daughter with such a dangerous person.
But she didn't expect that Lu Xiangrong already knew about this!
Lu Xiangrong frowned and asked angrily, "Is it because of that Tang Shuo?"
After he knew that his daughter liked a man named Tang Shuo, he asked his friends in Yanjing to check Tang Shuo's identity.
His friend happened to have heard others talk about Tang Shuo's deeds, so he told Lu Xiangrong what he had heard about Tang Shuo beating Huang Chang angrily as a joke.
Lu Xiangrong was shocked after hearing this. Although he was a businessman, he was also aware of the power behind Huang Chang's identity. This Tang Shuo actually dared to beat Huang Chang, and even knocked down a group of soldiers.
At that time, he thought it must be someone with the same name, otherwise how could his daughter know such a young man?
Now when he heard Xiao Ran talking about the club, his first reaction was that he had heard of the Southern China Club.
Seeing Xiao Ran's panicked look, Lu Xiangrong confirmed his guess.
He was already angry about Tang Shuo dumping his daughter, and now he learned that Tang Shuo had caused his daughter to be shot twice, and he was even more furious!
After walking in and saying a few words to Lu Qian who was guarding his daughter, he immediately left the hospital and prepared to meet Tang Shuo in person.
…………
Tang Shuo had long guessed that Lu Wanqi's family would come looking for him, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.
Less than half an hour after he returned to the club, Lu Xiangrong came to his door. If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed in the hospital.
You come with bad intentions!
The reason why he temporarily avoided Lu Wanqi's family was because Lu Wanqi had just been injured and her family was angry. If they knew that it was because of him that Lu Wanqi was injured, they would definitely cause trouble for him, so he wanted to temporarily avoid the other party's attack.
But unexpectedly, the other party's speed was much faster than his.
Knowing that the other party was looking for trouble, he still had to greet him with a smile, and even had to not fight back or respond when he was hit or scolded. It was really cowardly.
But who made him get involved with someone else's daughter?
Tang Shuo asked Zheng Xiaowan to arrange a private room, and then he took the initiative to go downstairs to greet the other party.
Lu Xiangrong came with a strange middle-aged man.
Looking at the angry Lu Xiangrong in front of him, Tang Shuo walked up and said, "You must be Uncle Lu, right? Let's go sit inside."
Lu Xiangrong also knew that it was inappropriate to talk here. He exchanged a glance with his friend, then followed Tang Shuo upstairs without saying a word.
The three of them sat down in an exquisite private room. Tang Shuo picked up the tea in front of him and poured a cup for Lu Xiangrong, then handed it to him and said, "Uncle, please have some tea."
Lu Xiangrong pushed the teacup away and said coldly, "Was our Wanqi injured because of you?"
"Yes." Tang Shuo admitted.
"Tell me, what conditions do I have to give you to agree to stop harassing my daughter?" Lu Xiangrong said.
Tang Shuo slowly poured himself some tea, took a sip, and asked, "How much do you think your daughter is worth?"
Lu Xiangrong's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you promise not to harass my daughter anymore, I will give you five million immediately."
Tang Shuo smiled and said, "I'll give you 50 million. I hope your uncle won't interfere in our affairs anymore."
"you……"
Lu Xiangrong pointed at Tang Shuo, trembling all over, not knowing what to say.
The middle-aged man who came with Lu Xiangrong interjected, "Young man, don't go too far."
Tang Shuo frowned and looked at the man and said, "Who are you? You have no right to interrupt here."
