Chapter 5 Quickly Transmigrated! Got Bankrupt Overnight and Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard (14)
These people are well-trained and covert in their actions. They are definitely not ordinary troublemakers. There must be someone behind them, and their target is obviously Shen Haoxuan.
I can't wait passively any longer. The security personnel that Manager Zhang gave me are obviously insufficient. If this continues, it will be difficult for me to guarantee Shen Haoxuan's safety. I must take the initiative and find out who is behind this.
I left Shen Haoxuan on an excuse and went to the monitoring room. The staff in the monitoring room were all Zhang's people, so I had to be careful. I pretended to check the surveillance video, but in fact I was looking for suspicious people.
Sure enough, I spotted a sneaky figure. He was wearing a hotel staff uniform, but he was secretly observing Shen Haoxuan and sending messages on his phone from time to time.
I immediately noted his appearance and location, and then quietly left the monitoring room. I must find him as soon as possible and find out his identity and purpose.
I found the suspicious staff member based on the location in the surveillance video. He was hiding in a corner and making a phone call with a very anxious tone.
"The plan failed. The target has a bodyguard who is very difficult to deal with..."
I felt something in my heart and approached him quietly.
He seemed to realize something and turned around suddenly.
"You..." Before he could finish his words, I grabbed him.
I dragged him to an empty room and asked sharply, "Who sent you?"
He struggled, his eyes filled with fear.
"I...I don't know what you are talking about..."
I increased the strength of my hand: "If you don't tell the truth, you will bear the consequences."
He groaned in pain and finally spoke: "Yes... yes..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone shouted, "Feng Ziang! Where are you?"
It’s Shen Haoxuan’s voice!
My heart tightened. Damn it, I was interrupted at this critical moment! I covered the man's mouth, dragged him to the corner of the room, and blocked him with my body.
"Feng Ziang!" Shen Haoxuan's voice was getting closer and closer, with a hint of anxiety.
I took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, then opened the door and walked out.
"Mr. Shen, I'm here."
Shen Haoxuan was obviously relieved when he saw me: "Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere."
I smiled casually and said, "I went to the bathroom."
He looked at me suspiciously, as if he didn't completely believe what I said, but he didn't ask any more questions in the end. He just said, "Let's go."
I nodded and followed him, but I felt like a huge rock was pressing down on my heart. The man I caught was still in the room, and I had to get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
The next few days were calm, but I knew it was just the calm before the storm. Manager Zhang would definitely not let this go and would definitely find ways to get revenge on me.
Sure enough, not long after, Manager Zhang found me again with a sinister smile on his face.
"Feng Ziang, you performed well, and Mr. Shen is very satisfied." He said with a fake smile, "So, I decided to give you a more important task."
I sneered in my heart, knowing that he had bad intentions.
"What mission?" I asked.
"Mr. Shen is going to attend a business reception tomorrow. Your mission is to protect him." Manager Zhang said, "This reception is very important. There will be many important people attending. The security level is very high. You must be careful and cautious."
I nodded: "I understand."
"Also," Director Zhang added, "no bodyguards are allowed to carry weapons at this reception."
I was stunned: "No weapons allowed? How can we ensure Mr. Shen's safety?"
Manager Zhang shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the rule from above. I can't do anything about it. Anyway, you must complete the task, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."
I know that Manager Zhang is deliberately making things difficult for me, but he is right, I must complete the task, otherwise I will lose the opportunity to protect Shen Haoxuan and also lose the opportunity to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
The next day, I arrived at the reception in advance, carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, and developed a detailed security plan. I knew that this mission was very difficult, but I had to do my best.
After the cocktail party started, I followed Shen Haoxuan closely, vigilantly observing the movements around me. Sure enough, someone began to make a move. With my keen observation and extraordinary skills, I resolved the crisis again and again.
The other bodyguards were all surprised when they saw my performance. Their attitude towards me before was mostly disdain and rejection, but now, there was a hint of admiration in their eyes.
However, just when I thought everything was going well, something unexpected happened. Someone created chaos in the crowd and attacked Shen Haoxuan. I was quick to push Shen Haoxuan away, but I was hit by a punch myself.
I endured the pain, quickly subdued the attacker, and then escorted Shen Haoxuan to a safe place.
"Are you okay?" Shen Haoxuan asked concernedly.
I shook my head: "I'm fine."
At this time, Manager Zhang came over with a smug smile on his face: "Feng Ziang, you violated the bodyguard regulations by bringing weapons into the cocktail party."
I was startled and looked down, only to find a dagger in my pocket. I clearly remembered that I didn't bring any weapons, so where did this dagger come from?
"I didn't..." I was about to explain, but was interrupted by Manager Zhang.
"The facts are right in front of you, and you still want to quibble?" He sneered and said, "Mr. Shen, what do you think we should do?"
Shen Haoxuan looked at me with a complicated expression and said slowly: "I will investigate this matter."
I looked at Shen Haoxuan, feeling uneasy. I knew that Director Zhang would not let me go, and he would try every possible means to frame me. I didn't know if I could clear myself of the grievances, but I had to persevere, for Shen Haoxuan and for myself.
"Feng Ziang..." He suddenly called my name, his voice low and full of emotion that I couldn't fathom, "You..." He paused, his eyes wandering over my face, as if exploring something, "Come with me."
My heart tightened, and I followed him silently. The surrounding discussions surged like a tide, but I automatically blocked them out. I could only hear my own heartbeat, hitting my eardrums again and again. Manager Zhang stood there, with a sneer of success on his face, and his eyes were like a poisoned knife, stabbing me hard.
Shen Haoxuan took me to the monitoring room of the cocktail party. There were only two of us in the huge room. The screen was playing back the scene of the cocktail party. He pointed to a clip on the screen, and the picture was frozen at the moment when I was attacked.
"See clearly." His voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.
