Chapter 23 Quickly Transmigrated! Going Bankrupt Overnight and Becoming the Young Master’s Bodyguard (26)
The next morning, I got up early and started my daily training. I practiced fighting skills over and over again, and my clothes were soaked with sweat. I wanted to make myself stronger so that I could better protect him and myself.
Captain Zhao came over and patted me on the shoulder. "Not bad, kid. You've started training so early."
I nodded, said nothing, and continued practicing.
"I heard that the Shen family is going to conduct a small security drill recently," Captain Zhao lowered his voice, "You must perform well and don't embarrass our bodyguard team."
Security drill? My heart sank.
"Captain, do you know the specific content?" I asked.
Captain Zhao shook his head. "It hasn't been announced yet, but I heard that this exercise is very important and the young master will participate in person."
His words made me nervous...
Sweat dripped down my chin, spreading a small dark mark on the ground of the training ground. The news that the Shen family was going to conduct a security drill weighed heavily on my heart like a stone. The young master would also participate... This meant that this drill was not just a formality, but also an opportunity to test our abilities and an opportunity for me to prove myself.
"Don't be nervous, kid." Captain Zhao appeared behind me again. His tone sounded like comforting, but I always felt that there was a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. "Do your best and don't embarrass the young master."
I nodded, trying to look calm. But I couldn't calm down. I felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. This feeling was like the calm before a storm, so depressing that it made me feel breathless.
The exercise plan was finally announced. My task was to defend the garden on the west side of the villa alone. The terrain there was complex, the trees were lush, and it was easy to hide. It was set as the key area of this exercise. And the number of "enemies" was three times that of other areas!
When I heard this arrangement, I almost doubted my ears. This was clearly a veiled attempt to embarrass me! I looked at Captain Zhao, who was looking at me with a half-smile and a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"Is there a problem, Feng Ziang?" His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
I took a deep breath and swallowed the question that was rising in my throat. "No problem, Captain." I answered calmly.
I knew that this was a trap he had set for me. If I complained or refused, it would be exactly what he wanted, and he would use this as an excuse to kick me out of the Shen family. I couldn't give him this opportunity.
Over the next few days, I spent almost all my time in the garden. I carefully surveyed every terrain, every tree, every rock, and memorized their locations. I even went to the garden alone in the dead of night to simulate various possible situations.
On the day of the drill, the sky was gloomy, as if foreshadowing a storm. I stood at the entrance of the garden in my black combat uniform, waiting for the "enemy" to arrive. My heart was beating fast and my palms were sweaty, but I tried to stay calm.
Captain Zhao's voice came from the headset: "Attention all teams, the drill has officially begun!"
Almost at the same time, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the woods. Here they come! I held my breath and stared at the edge of the woods...
"Feng Ziang, do you think I can't see you if you hide behind the tree?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
I turned around suddenly and found that the young master had stood behind me without knowing when, holding a paintball gun in his hand, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at me. "You lose." He had a smug smile on his face.
I raised my hands helplessly, in a gesture of surrender. "Master, you used the 'surprise' trick well, but I won't be fooled again next time." I deliberately pretended to be relaxed, trying to cover up the embarrassment in my heart. To be honest, I really didn't expect him to "join the battle" in person, and to sneak up on me from behind. This kid is really getting more and more naughty.
Shen Haoxuan put away his paintball gun, walked up to me, and patted my shoulder. "Not bad, you are very alert. However, a real enemy won't be as 'gentle' as me." His eyes suddenly became serious, and his tone became more serious.
I knew he was right. Although this exercise was just a simulation, it reminded me that real danger could happen at any time and I must always remain vigilant and not let my guard down.
"Report, enemy presence spotted in the West District!" A report from other bodyguards suddenly came through the headset.
"It looks like the show is about to begin." Shen Haoxuan's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, and then he quickly ran towards the command center.
I put aside my joking thoughts and immediately entered the battle state. I knew that the real test had just begun.
I didn't rely on terrain and cover for defense like other bodyguards. In the past few days, I used some branches, vines and stones to set up some simple defense facilities in the garden, such as ropes, traps and disguised nets. Although these things are simple, they can play a role in the unexpected effect.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the first wave of "enemies" appeared. They carefully shuttled through the woods, trying to find a breakthrough.
"Hehe, it's hooked." I laughed secretly in my heart, and then gently pulled a thin rope hidden in the grass.
"Ah!" A scream was heard, and an "enemy" was knocked to the ground, with the paintball gun in his hand falling to the side.
Upon seeing this, the other "enemies" immediately became alert and slowed down their advance.
"Spread out!" an "enemy" shouted.
I had expected them to do this, so I set traps at different locations. Soon, several more "enemies" were caught and "killed" by me with the paintball gun.
However, the remaining "enemies" did not retreat, but attacked me even more frantically. Their firepower was so strong that I had to dodge and look for opportunities to counterattack.
The pressure was mounting, and I felt like a wild animal trapped in a cage that could be torn to pieces at any moment.
"No, this is not an option." I dodged the "enemy's" attack while quickly thinking of a countermeasure.
Suddenly, an idea struck me: I deliberately exposed my position to attract the attention of the "enemy", and then used the terrain and traps to lure them into the ambush I had set up in advance.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of paintball gunshots rang out, and several "enemies" fell to the ground.
I successfully turned the situation around and turned defense into offense.
"How many more people are there?" I asked the other bodyguards through the headset.
