Chapter 2142 What She Needs Is Protection

The gardener, Liu Dong, sneered, "Master Xiao is doing this for Ruomu? Don't be ridiculous. Master Xiao wants to use Ruomu to force her parents to give up the 100,000 yuan."

The young gardener said in confusion, "But this pot of flowers by Master Xiao costs fifty thousand. Does he care about the hundred thousand?"

Liu Dong waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. The richer a person is, the more stingy they are. Besides, one hundred thousand is not a small amount." Besides, Young Master Xiao has someone he likes. He's seen her before. She's a fairy-like figure, incredibly beautiful. Young Master Xiao bought this manor just for that girl. And the last time Young Master Xiao got angry in the garden and cut down the grape trellises, it was also because of that girl.

After hearing this, the young gardener smiled foolishly and scratched his head: "If that's the case, that would be great..."

Liu Dong smiled and patted his shoulder: "Alright, hurry up and prepare the betrothal gifts. I'm leaving first, I have to make a contribution today!"

…

A few minutes later, three black SUVs drove away from the vineyard.

Xiao Jun was sitting in the front car, and in the two cars behind were his personal bodyguards.

He didn't want to take so many people with him, but his security team leader Wu Ling emphasized that the unruly people in remote mountainous areas should not be underestimated, and the young master's safety is the first priority. Besides, it is not a big deal, it's just a matter of driving two more cars over.

As his personal security assistant, Wu Ling has an extremely keen ability to judge potential threats and can always help him resolve dangers before they occur.

Therefore, Xiao Jun followed Wu Ling's advice.

Now, driving for him from the front was Captain Wu Ling, and sitting in the passenger seat was Liu Dong, one of the manor's gardeners.

Liu Dong was responsible for leading the way, so he also took this car.

At this time, Wu Ling was driving while asking about the basic situation of Ruomu's village.

Ever since Liu Dong got into the car, he has been very active and excited.

After answering Wu Ling's question, he was filled with righteous indignation and scolded Ruomu's parents for being heartless. He said that it was a good thing that he went to the banquet today and listened to Ruomu's younger sister's story. Otherwise, even if Ruomu cried her heart out, no one would come to save her, and Young Master Xiao would never get back the 100,000 yuan.

Wu Ling chuckled and said, "Just lead the way well. As long as you don't make any mistakes, Master Xiao will naturally reward you handsomely."

"Yes, yes, just follow the route I told you and you'll definitely get there before dark."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Jun in the back row.

Xiao Jun listened quietly and naturally heard that Liu Dong was showing off.

Thanks to him? Xiao Jun glanced at him coldly.

If he really had any courage, would he just stand by and watch what happened to Ruomu?

Not only did he not help Ruomu, he also watched her fun and drank her wedding wine!

Xiao Jun was already furious with Liu Dong.

But right now, Xiao Jun didn't have the heart to argue with him. He just hoped that when he arrived, Ruomu hadn't been bullied by the old cripple yet...

The car was driving on a winding mountain road, and his mood changed with the twists and turns of the road.

As for why I am so concerned about that little girl?

Xiao Jun couldn't figure it out either.

Maybe it was out of sympathy, Ruomu, like him, had never felt the warmth of family.

Ruomu is even more pitiful than him, and his fate is even more tragic.

At least he had enough food and clothing, and was respected as Mr. Xiao or Young Master Xiao.

Apart from his father's control over him, no one dared to bully him.

But Ruomu is different, anyone can bully her.

She struggled to get out of it, but couldn't even make a splash.

Even so, she is still much more resilient and optimistic than him.

After several contacts, he liked this girl's personality more and more, not only because she was quiet and studious, but also because she was sincere.

But because of him, she lost her job at the manor and was completely trapped in the situation she is in today.

Xiao Jun is the culprit. Even though he generously lent her 100,000 yuan, he was not helping her, but pushing Ruomu into the fire pit.

He should have thought that Ruomu was in big trouble and came to him to borrow 100,000 yuan.

What she needs is protection, not money...

Xiao Jun pressed his throbbing solar plexus and asked Liu Dong, "What's the custom here for the wedding night?"

Liu Dong said that the custom in their village is that the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber as soon as it gets dark.

Xiao Jun looked at the sky again. The sun was already setting and it was about to get dark.

His face darkened and after a moment's silence, he asked Liu Dong what kind of person the old man was.

Liu Dong said that he was a notorious old hooligan in the village. Most of his money was earned by extorting people on the road. He was also very lustful. After bullying girls, he would give some money to their parents and let it go. He knew that girls valued their reputation and would not dare to speak out.

Xiao Jun understood and nodded.

Wu Ling glanced at Xiao Jun in the rearview mirror and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you want me to..."

Xiao Jun was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "If Ruomu is fine, leave him alive and do as I told you before. If Ruomu is in trouble, you will listen to my arrangements at that time."

"yes."

Liu Dong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Wu Ling and then at Xiao Jun behind him. He swallowed nervously and finally calmed down. He didn't dare to say another word until they arrived at the village.

Half an hour later, three off-road vehicles drove into the village, attracting many adults and children to watch and chase them.

The sun had just set and it was not yet completely dark.

Xiao Jun couldn't see the onlookers, all he saw was a muddy road.

This is the path Ruomu walked, this is the village where she grew up, and it is also the place she desperately wants to escape from.

Xiao Jun remembered her reciting laundry instructions in the stairwell, and her determination to do anything as long as she wasn't sent back to her hometown.

In fact, from that time on, Xiao Jun had some expectations of her.

I always feel that there is a kind of strength in her, that is, you must never give her a chance, because as long as she has the opportunity, she will definitely grab it tightly and keep climbing up, like a grass seed on a cliff, once it takes root, hard rocks cannot stop her strong vitality.

So Xiao Jun was willing to give her a rope. He wanted to see how high she could climb using his rope.

Then we must not let her stay in this remote mountain area. We must take her away today no matter what.

The car finally stopped at the entrance of an alley.

According to Liu Dong, the big door at the end of the alley is the old cripple's home.

As soon as Xiao Jun got out of the car, Wu Ling immediately helped him put on his black coat and walked beside him.

The alley was covered with firecracker debris, which had been trampled into mud, and the air still had a faint smell of sulfur.

Xiao Jun seemed to see the scene from just a few hours ago: Ruomu, wearing a red wedding dress, was held by the arms by two old witches with makeup on their faces. In front of the crowd, they pushed her in front of the old rogue. The witches held her head down and she married the old man...

Thinking of this, Xiao Jun clenched his fists and strode towards the door.
