"Master, we've arrived." It's a classic tea house with a rather elegant name: 'Bamboo Garden'.

It is filled with various kinds of precious bamboo, which fits the meaning of the name.

This is the location chosen by the person who arranged the meeting. Its seclusion is evident from the four security guards standing at the entrance. "They are very strong, of course, no match for us," Wu Tianqing commented.

The only difference is that they are both people who truly live on the edge of a knife.

"I can tell." The four of them were covered in blood and evil energy from head to toe; they were no ordinary people.

mercenary?

"Did that person bring all of these?"

"Yes, that person said he had shares in this tea shop, so it was safe, and that's where we made the appointment."

As the car stopped, four security guards looked in their direction and quickly walked towards the parking space.

Thump thump thump...

A man with a finger-width scar on his right cheek knocked on the glass window. Wu Tianqing lowered the window. "We have an appointment with Mr. Hanster."

The man's sinister brown eyes glanced at Wu Tianqing, then at the figure in the back seat, and nodded. "Wait a moment." His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he had a problem with his throat.

The man walked back to the door, said something to one of them, and the other person then walked towards the garage entrance and made a gesture.

Wu Tianqing rolled up the car window, turned the steering wheel, and drove in.

In the garage, after Wu Tianqing and Yuan Zhuan got out of the car, the man who had knocked on the window was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

"plz follow me."

Yuan Zhuan glanced at the dozen or so top-of-the-line luxury cars in the garage and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

At this moment, she felt resentment towards the rich! She was indeed still struggling at the very bottom of society.

After walking through corridor after corridor, we finally stopped in the easternmost courtyard. Five or six people were sitting with their backs to the door, sitting around a stone table, drinking tea and chatting.

"Boss, Mr. Yuan has arrived." After the man spoke, the bald man among the six stood up; he was probably less than 180 cm tall.

He really is a foreigner, but he also has some Chinese blood.

"Hi, hello, I'm Hanster." The man walked towards Wu Tianqing, and he had a polite smile on his face, and he was very gentle.

Yuan Zhuan: ...

Wu Tianqing took two steps back, making Yuan Zhuan even more conspicuous.

Then Yuan Zhuan saw Hanster's embarrassed expression stiffen and his gaze shift downwards.

Even though she had stuffed height-increasing insoles into her big leather shoes, she was still less than 170cm tall. Compared to Wu Tianqing, who was 186cm, she was really not impressive, at least in terms of height.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my eyes are a little uncomfortable today. Mr. Yuan, hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. This way, please." Hanster led the two to the stone table, winking and coughing to signal the five people at the table to stand up and greet him. However, the five people seemed to be blind and deaf, pretending not to see him, and even turning their backs to continue drinking their tea.

What a show of force! They're about to test their skills.

“Mr. Hanster, it seems you’re not being sincere. Boss, please.” Wu Tianqing’s eyes were filled with anger.

Yuan Zhuan nodded and turned to walk out.

"Wait, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan!!" Hanster didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn and not take his advice at all.

Wu Tianqing turned around and blocked Hanster's path, his eyes turning cold. "Mr. Hanster, your deposit will be returned, but we are afraid we cannot sign your security contract."

"Captain Wu, I'm sorry, I made a mistake today. Please give me another chance, I..."

"Big brother, apologize later, let us test them first." The five people sitting around the table suddenly stood up, rushed forward, and surrounded Yuan Zhuan and Wu Tianqing. The courtyard gate was also closed and locked from the outside.

At this, Yuan Zhuan smiled, but his eyes held a sinister glint.

The next second, Wu Tianqing's figure flashed repeatedly, and with five consecutive slaps, the five people, who were moving so fast, didn't even have time to react before being sent flying and landing in various corners of the courtyard. The force was so great that the five people were knocked unconscious after hitting the ground, without even uttering a sound.

“It’s perfect now,” Yuan Zhuan said with a smile.

"Yes. Master Yuansun said I just need to keep it up, time will make me stronger." The two chatted as if no one else was around, and Wu Tianqing's handsome face rarely showed a smile.

"I'll give you a few more sets of boxing techniques later." She had already asked Lu Ze to exchange for boxing manuals suitable for Wu Tianqing to learn, but she hadn't had time to give them to him yet.

"Thank you, boss." Wu Tianqing's eyes lit up. At this moment, all traces of his previous coldness had vanished. He looked like a young lad, grinning happily.

Hansfield: Can't you see me, a living, breathing person?

"Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, it was my fault. To show my respect, I'm willing to double the security deposit and extend the period by another year."

Yuan Zhuan turned to look at the man who was bowing at a ninety-degree angle, his round face with a thick beard almost buried in his chest.

"Boss?" What do you mean?

"Since the clearing is over, let's talk."

Hansfield: Clear the area...

Are his friends trash?

After the three of them sat down, Hanster quickly took out a clean teacup from the stone table under the table, filled it for the two of them, and said apologetically, "Mr. Yuan, let me express my sincere apologies again with this tea instead of wine."

Yuan Zhuan watched as the other party drank three cups in a row before speaking, "Speak, what's wrong that even those mercenaries you hired couldn't protect you?"

Hanster's Chinese was authentic, with a local Guangzhou accent. It was no surprise that the head of Yuan's Security easily saw through him. "You figured it out. Yes, I've gotten myself into big trouble, and not only them, but even the higher-ups can't protect me."

Yuan Zhuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. "If even those above can't protect you, how can we shoulder such a great responsibility?" Is this some kind of desperate fugitive in the face of a major crisis? Apart from a few major, terrifying enemies, the others shouldn't be enough to frighten him like this.

"The Smith-Cheno family of the United States, the oldest capitalists in the country, are notoriously ruthless worldwide. In other countries, they are always honored guests of top officials, with unimpeded access to any goods. Only here do they not show them any special treatment, but that doesn't stop them from finding other channels. They transshipped a batch of goods through Myanmar. Because their transportation network used vehicles belonging to my group, my manager reported this. Within minutes of receiving the news, their family's contact, Bob Smith, called me, demanding that I not leak this information, or my entire family would be killed." This shows how terrifying their intelligence network is; it's simply impossible to guard against!

"Fortunately, my family was traveling in China when this happened. My mother is Chinese, and she requested to be buried in China after her death, to return to her roots. It doesn't matter if something happens to me, but my mother has shares in my group. If I did those things, my mother would definitely be restricted from entering the country, or even go to jail. In that case, her later years would certainly not be peaceful. Besides, there were too many of those goods. If I didn't report it, I might be sentenced to death."

"When did this happen?" Yuan Zhuan asked, intrigued by Hanster's worried expression.

The more difficult the task, the more beneficial it is to the future development of Yuan's Security. Moreover, it's not about protecting any criminals, but about protecting a businessman who has made contributions to China. She admires his way of doing things. Whether it's his understanding or his respect for his mother, it's clear that he's not a bad person.

Her makeup completely concealed Yuan Zhuan's subtle expressions, so much so that even though Yuan Zhuan was in a good mood, Hanster couldn't discern her true intentions.

"The 3rd of last month."

"How did you find out about Yuan's Security?" This was also what Yuan Zhuan was most concerned about. This Hanster was obviously abroad all year round. Logically speaking, Yuan's Security shouldn't have such a big reputation. So how did he find out about it?

“Lu Yi, Mr. Lu, he said that in the future, he will be the head of Yuan's Security's US branch.”

When the name was mentioned, Yuan Zhuan was somewhat stunned, and the following sentence left him even more bewildered.

The name was unfamiliar, yet it seemed like I'd heard it somewhere before.

Upon hearing the name, Wu Tianqing's pupils contracted, and his gaze toward Hanster became inexplicably profound.

"Boss, it's Minister Zhai Xin who introduced you to that genius in military equipment manufacturing. He was released from prison less than three years ago. He submitted his resume to us more than two years ago, but you turned him down." If Cao Ming is the second-in-command of Yuan's Security, then Wu Tianqing is undoubtedly the third. He always gets reports on the company's recruitment at specific times, which is a privilege given to him by Yuan Zhuan.

After brainstorming, Yuan Zhuan thought of Lu Yi, the 16-year-old genius who should be in his early forties now.

"President Yuan?" Hanster was a little uneasy after Yuan Zhuan remained silent for so long. Could it be that Mr. Lu had some problem?

"It's alright, we'll take your case. We'll give you ten men." She only gave him ten, not twenty. Her men were all top-notch, each one an expert. However, the danger this time was indeed very high, and the best of the best would be enough to protect him. "Your family will stay in the country. I'll send six more people over for a two-year contract to protect you. The contract price is double. Any objections?"

"No." Hanster's eyes lit up. "Are they all experts like Captain Wu?"

"There is some difference, but your men are no match for them either, including the mercenaries at the door."

Hans St: ...

Is it that bad? So, Captain Wu was just tickling him?

"Believe me, you will live," Yuan Zhuan said with a smile.

Hanster had originally wanted to invite her to lunch, but Yuan Zhuan politely declined, saying she didn't have a good appetite for eating with strangers.

He left Bamboo Garden under Hanster's earnest request.

Only after the taillights disappeared did Hanster turn back to the Bamboo Garden and hurriedly head towards the courtyard where he had just been drinking tea.

Upon entering the courtyard, he saw his five highly skilled henchmen clutching their stomachs, their limbs contorted, walking towards the stone table like zombies.

"Does it really hurt that much?" Hanster's rough voice rang out in the courtyard, and the five people stiffened, struggling to stand up straight.

"Big brother, it doesn't hurt that much!"

Hansfield: If your expressions weren't so pale, I might have believed it.

It seems that Captain Wu is truly formidable!

He knew the capabilities of his confidants. These days, he had relied on his own men for protection. They had escaped from several attacks, and their abilities were beyond question. Although some were injured, none of them died.

The head of Yuan's security team was so fast that his attacks were almost blurry. His men didn't even have a chance to react before they all fainted. His strength was so great that probably few people in the world could defeat him with their bare hands.

And such a powerful person, Mr. Yuan has more than one subordinate, but thousands. Just thinking about it makes him envious and jealous.

I have no idea how they trained them; they're incredibly strong!!

At this moment, Hanster was incredibly looking forward to meeting all the powerful figures the day after tomorrow morning! He wondered if he could poach them? He was willing to spend a million dollars to keep them by his side.

At this moment, Yuan Zhuan was naturally unaware that someone was trying to poach her boyfriend.

At that moment, she was having Wu Tianqing floor the gas pedal as they sped after the school bus that was rushing past.

The twenty-odd children in the car all looked deathly pale, and the driver's face was so black that his features were almost invisible.

"Speed." Two Swift Wind Talismans were quietly affixed to the car door.

"yes."
