Chapter 2 Quickly Transmigrated! Got Bankrupt and Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard (11)
I returned to my room, dug out a compressed biscuit from my backpack, and ate it with some cold water. I had brought this biscuit from home, intending to use it in an emergency, but it had become my dinner.
It was late at night, and I lay in bed, but I couldn't fall asleep. What happened during the day kept popping up in my mind, the sinister smile of bodyguard Zhao, and the cold eyes of the other bodyguards, all of which made me feel a chill.
I realized that my situation in the Shen family was more difficult than I had imagined. Not only did I have to protect Shen Haoxuan's safety, but I also had to face the exclusion and oppression from within.
How can I break this situation of being excluded? How can I gain a foothold in the Shen family? How can I... A dark shadow suddenly appeared at my door...
The shadow paused at the door for a moment, then knocked gently. I sat up with my heart pounding. Who was it? At this time?
"Who?" I tried to make my voice sound calmer.
"It's me, Manager Zhang." A deep voice came from outside the door.
I hesitated for a moment, but finally got out of bed and opened the door. Manager Zhang was standing outside the door. The dim light cast a shadow on his face, making him look even gloomier.
"What's the matter, it's so late?" I asked.
Manager Zhang did not answer, but walked straight into the room and closed the door. He looked around my simple room, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Feng Ziang," he said, his tone condescending, "I know you were a young master before, but now you have fallen to this state, you must feel bad."
I remained silent and looked at him quietly.
"However," he paused, his tone becoming meaningful, "You don't have to be too discouraged. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you can live much more comfortably in the Shen family than you do now."
His words made me feel a little uneasy. I had a vague feeling that what he was going to say next might not be simple.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
Manager Zhang walked up to me and lowered his voice and said, "It's very simple. As long as you help me do something, I can save you a lot of suffering in the Shen family. I can even help you restore your previous life."
His words were like a bomb that exploded in my mind. To return to my previous life? This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for me. Everything I once had was gone overnight, and this sense of difference almost made me collapse. If there was really a chance to go back to the past, I would be willing to pay any price.
But I also know in my heart that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The conditions proposed by Manager Zhang are definitely not that simple.
"What's the matter?" I asked, trying hard to suppress my excitement.
Manager Zhang smiled, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to me. "Do you know this person?"
I took the photo, took a look at it, and was stunned. The person in the photo was actually Shen Haoxuan.
"You...what do you want me to do?" My voice trembled a little.
Manager Zhang's smile turned more sinister. "It's simple. I want you to monitor his every move and report to me regularly."
My hand holding the photo tightened involuntarily. Spying on Shen Haoxuan? This made me feel extremely conflicted. On the one hand, I longed to return to my past life, but on the other hand, I didn't want to betray Shen Haoxuan.
"What? You don't want to?" Manager Zhang seemed to see my hesitation and his tone turned cold.
I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm. "I need some time to think about it."
Manager Zhang sneered. "Okay, I'll give you one day. I hope to get your answer by this time tomorrow." He said, then turned and left the room.
I stood there, holding the photo tightly in my hand, my heart full of struggle. Outside the window, the night was dark, and the sound of dogs barking in the distance added a bit of weirdness to the atmosphere.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by an anxious voice: "Feng Ziang! Oh no, something's happened to the young master!"
Holding the photo, my thoughts were in a mess. Did Shen Haoxuan get into trouble? What happened? Was it related to Manager Zhang? I forced myself to calm down and quickly opened the door. Standing outside the door was another bodyguard of the Shen family, looking anxious.
"Young Master is in the xx club, there's a disturbance, it's urgent!" He spoke quickly, "Follow me now!"
I didn't hesitate at all and immediately followed him out. Along the way, I tried to recall Shen Haoxuan's schedule and tried to analyze the nature of this incident. Was it an accident or man-made? If it was man-made, what was the other party's purpose?
Arriving at the club, the place was in chaos. A crowd gathered at the door, with noise and shouting coming one after another. I saw several familiar figures at a glance - they were all bodyguards of the Shen family, but they were all standing outside, looking as if they had nothing to do with it. My heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind.
I pushed through the crowd and rushed into the club. I saw Shen Haoxuan surrounded by a group of people. One of the burly men was verbally abusing him and even pushing him. Although Shen Haoxuan tried his best to remain calm, his face was obviously pale.
I didn't have time to think about it, I immediately rushed forward, blocked Shen Haoxuan, and shouted: "Stop!"
The man was stunned, looked me up and down, and said with a disdainful smile: "Where are you from? The newly recruited bodyguard of the Shen family? You dare to come out and play the hero when you haven't even grown all your hair yet?"
The other bodyguards saw this and showed their eagerness to see the show. I then realized that they deliberately didn't tell me the details because they wanted to see me make a fool of myself.
I took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in my heart, and stared at the man coldly. "I am Mr. Shen's bodyguard, and my duty is to protect his safety. Please leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Oh, you're so arrogant!" The man sneered and swung his fist at me.
I was prepared, I dodged his attack by leaning to the side, and at the same time I quickly grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard. The man screamed and fell to his knees.
The people around me were all stunned when they saw this. They didn't expect that a skinny young man like me could be so skilled.
I didn't stop there, but took advantage of the situation to subdue him and control his movements. Then, I turned to Shen Haoxuan and said, "Master, are you okay?"
Shen Haoxuan looked at me with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon regained his composure. "I'm fine, thank you."
I nodded slightly and didn't say much. At this time, the other bodyguards finally reacted and surrounded him, asking about Shen Haoxuan's situation in a hypocritical manner.
