Chapter 6 Quickly Transmigrated! Got Bankrupt Overnight and Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard (15)
I stared at the screen closely. In the screen, a man dressed as a waiter took advantage of the chaos to approach Shen Haoxuan, holding a dagger in his hand. I subconsciously blocked in front of Shen Haoxuan. In the chaos, someone bumped into me and I staggered a few steps. At this moment, the dagger fell at my feet. Then, I was hit by the attacker, and the dagger somehow slipped into my pocket.
Everything happened too fast and by coincidence. I suddenly looked up at Shen Haoxuan, who was looking at me with deep, unpredictable eyes.
"This..." I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say. This was clearly a deliberate frame-up!
Shen Haoxuan did not say anything, but just called up another surveillance screen. The screen showed that when I went to the bathroom, a figure sneaked up to my coat and put something into my pocket. Due to the angle, the person's face could not be seen clearly.
"This..." I felt my throat tighten and breathing became difficult.
"Who do you think did it?" Shen Haoxuan finally spoke, his voice still cold and without any emotion.
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Manager Zhang." I couldn't think of anyone else who would be so deliberate in setting me up.
Shen Haoxuan did not respond, but just looked at me quietly, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if he wanted to see through me. The room was silent, with only the humming sound of the monitoring equipment running, like an invisible hand, tightly strangling my throat.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I understand."
He turned and walked towards the door, and I followed him subconsciously.
"You..." He stopped but didn't look back. "This is the end of tonight."
"But..." I wanted to explain, wanted to tell him that this was all Manager Zhang's conspiracy.
But he waved his hand and interrupted me. "Go back."
His tone left no room for doubt. I could only watch him leave and disappear at the end of the corridor. The door of the monitoring room slowly closed, leaving me in this cold room.
I stood there, frozen, my mind blank. Is this the end of tonight? What does this mean? Does he believe me? Or... has he already decided that I am the one who wants to hurt him?
I leaned against the wall helplessly, then slowly slid down and fell to the ground. A deep feeling of powerlessness swept over me, almost suffocating me.
Suddenly, the door of the monitoring room was pushed open again...
The door of the monitoring room was pushed open again, and Shen Haoxuan appeared at the door. He was holding a document in his hand, and his expression was still cold, but I could sense a subtle tenderness in him.
"Get up." His tone was calm, yet it carried unquestionable strength.
I was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and brushed off the dust on my body. My heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of my chest.
"This is..." I looked at the document in my hand. The densely packed text on it made me a little dazzled.
"Manager Zhang's record of violations," Shen Haoxuan explained succinctly. "He embezzled public funds, accepted bribes privately, and even participated in underground casinos."
I looked at him in shock, speechless for a moment. It turned out that Manager Zhang's crime was far more serious than I had imagined.
"You..." I finally found my voice, "Do you believe me?"
Shen Haoxuan did not answer my question directly, but simply said: "The surveillance video was tampered with, and the real murderer is someone else."
I was so happy that the heavy stone weighing on my chest finally fell to the ground. He believed me!
"Who is it?" I asked anxiously.
Shen Haoxuan didn't answer, but handed the document to me. "Read it yourself."
I took the document and read it carefully. It detailed all of Zhang's crimes and how he framed me. It turned out that he bribed another bodyguard to put drugs in my water, and then modified the surveillance video to put all the blame on me.
After reading the document, my anger exploded like a volcano. This Manager Zhang was so despicable and shameless in order to achieve his own goals!
"I will make him pay the price." Shen Haoxuan's voice was cold, like a judgment from hell.
I raised my head and looked at his resolute profile, my heart filled with gratitude.
In the next few days, the Shen family experienced a dramatic change. Manager Zhang was fired and handed over to the judicial authorities. The other bodyguards also began to look at me differently and no longer ridiculed me as before.
I finally won their respect and Shen Haoxuan's trust.
One night, Shen Haoxuan called me to his study.
"Feng Ziang," he looked at me with deep eyes, "thank you."
"No thanks," I shook my head, "It's what I should do."
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to be my bodyguard anymore."
I was stunned. “Why?”
He walked up to me and gently stroked my cheek. "Because..." He paused, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, "I need you to stay by my side in another identity."
His words made my heart beat faster and my breathing quickened. Another identity? What identity? Could it be... I didn't dare to think further, but the temperature of my cheeks was getting higher and higher.
I lowered my head, not daring to look him in the eye. "Master, I don't understand what you mean."
He chuckled and gently lifted my chin with his fingers, forcing me to look him in the eye. "Don't understand? It's okay, you will understand later." His eyes were deep and gentle, as if they contained infinite affection.
In the next few days, Shen Haoxuan began to investigate the slander against me by Manager Zhang. He retrieved all the surveillance videos and carefully checked every frame, not missing any details. He also interviewed other bodyguards and asked them about their situation that day.
I watched all this silently, my heart filled with gratitude and expectation. I knew that Shen Haoxuan was seeking justice for me and the truth for himself.
The investigation process was not smooth. Manager Zhang had worked for the Shen family for many years and had deep roots and extensive connections. He used his connections to try to cover up his crimes and even tried to bite back, accusing me of being the mastermind behind the incident.
However, Shen Haoxuan did not give up. He calmly analyzed all the clues, unraveled the mystery, and gradually revealed the true face of Manager Zhang.
Finally, on a sunny morning, Shen Haoxuan summoned all the bodyguards and held a meeting at the training ground.
Manager Zhang also came, with a smug look on his face, as if everything was under his control. I stood at the back of the crowd, feeling uneasy.
