Chapter 141: Safety First
At the Port Southampton SPA Hotel, Arthur meets three tall, strong, suit-wearing bodyguards, their facial expressions are the same and single, and they appear restrained and patient, no matter what, the first impression is good.
Good looks!
Rich people attach great importance to their personal safety, after all, they are a symbol of money, so they care about their own safety. Of course, there are also many people who hire bodyguards who think that as long as there are bodyguards around, no one will dare to disadvantage them and act as a deterrent.
What's more, being able to fight seems to be the consensus of the local tyrants on bodyguards.
Of course, a bodyguard who can't fight can't do it, but a bodyguard who can fight alone can't do it. Bodyguards require other, more sophisticated techniques.
βγγγ For example, you need to be able to use various means of transportation, understand the law, understand computers, etc. As an excellent personal bodyguard, only 20 percent can fight, and 80 percent of your wisdom will be available. β
In the face of Arthur's employer's curious inquiry, Balhog, the leader of the team, showed a rare smile and explained to the young employer in front of him.
"And in everyday situations, the biggest danger an employer can encounter is health problems. Many successful people in the business world have died suddenly due to myocardial infarction or other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so we have also been trained in first aid.
Special driving training, because the vehicle is the most prone to various situations during driving, so it is difficult to protect the safety of the employer without excellent driving skills.
Finally, there is firearm shooting and explosive ordnance disposal. We also hope that you will cooperate with us in the future, and we must carry out the necessary explosives checks every time you drive and enter the office. Even your residence must be inspected from time to time.
Such a security check requires not only professional training, but also extensive experience and sensitive security intuition. β
"Well, no problem, I'll cooperate. Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the three people in front of him curiously, and asked, "Are you all equipped with guns?"
"Yes, but in general, we don't use firearms, and we must follow the principle of minimum use of force, because not everyone who suddenly appears around you is an attacker. β
"Then if it happens that my request may violate the law, will you listen to me, or?" Arthur's question was undoubtedly a bit embarrassing, but he still wanted to ask clearly, after all, no one can say what will happen in the future.
Sure enough, as soon as this question came out, the three people on the opposite side glanced at each other, and Balhogg still said with a solemn expression: "The principle of our bodyguards is "law first, client second". It is also our duty to protect designated persons or property from infringement to the extent permitted by law, and not to be the assailants that some people have in mind.
Of course, being a personal bodyguard requires absolute loyalty to the customer and always thinking about the customer, but not all the customer's requirements will be met. β
"That's it... After hearing this, Arthur felt a little unpleasant, but after all, the three people opposite were elite security personnel of the regular company, not mercenaries, and it was more reassuring to have a knotty and bottom line, so he nodded in a deep voice, looked up at the three of them with a smile and said: "After that, my safety will be handed over to the three of you, and in the future, the three of them will be troubled." β
"It is a pleasure to serve you. Balhogg smiled as well, reaching out and holding Arthur's hand.
"By the way, did Paul tell you that my manor castle needs to add a security system?"
"As I already said, Nick will go to the manor in the afternoon to have a look, and then come up with a security plan according to the situation on the ground. β
Hearing Balhogg's words, Arthur was relieved, and said with a smile: "In the next period of time, there may be some trouble, the media may report on me on a large scale, and those reporters and paparazzi will become the main targets of your defense." β
"No problem, please rest assured that "blocking reporters" is also one of our main jobs. We won't let them get 'close' to you. Another relatively young bodyguard named Bell said with a smile.
"Well, that's fine. Arthur said with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at the butler Paul on the side and asked, "Paul, I am going to go to Winchester with Jiang Lai this afternoon, and I will go to see Stonehenge tomorrow, and I will leave the matter to you here." β
"Okay, Lord, don't forget the BBC interview with you on Monday. Paul reminded.
"Remember, I won't forget, the news of my purchase of the saints will appear in the newspaper tomorrow, and I am worried that the media reporters will follow me up, and you must also pay attention to the people of the manor. β
"In a moment, I will rush back to the manor and refuse all visitors. Paul, the butler, said with a serious expression.
"Well, I'll leave it to you at home, I don't worry, Rolls-Royce, you drive back, I'll drive Aston Martin, BMW just let Barr drive, so be it, I'll call Jiang Lai first." β
After Arthur made the arrangements, he took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Lai, who was listening to the comments and precautions of the review editor on the content of the chapter she had translated.
When he received Arthur's call, Jiang Lai's face turned slightly red for no reason, and after saying sorry to the review editor, he walked to a corner and picked up the phone.
Hearing the phone call Riarthur's travel arrangements, Jiang Lai did not refuse, although it was inevitable that there was a little entanglement in his heart for the two of them to be alone for the next, but he also had a little expectation, after all, Jiang Lai still had a good impression of Arthur, especially in the face of Arthur's undisguised pursuit, her heart was actually looking forward to being pursued by a man she had a good impression of.
The psychology of a woman is very complicated, and she is very reserved, just because once the excitement in her heart is exposed, she will worry about messing up everything, after all, she still wants to be with him and enjoy the happy time of the two of them.
After Jiang Lai hung up the phone, he was in a happy mood, packed up his things and left the company without stopping, took a taxi back to the hotel, and returned to the room to pack his luggage.
Arthur looked at Jiang Lai, who opened the door for him, and couldn't help but light up, simply tied up a high ponytail, a white sweater with a slightly loose neckline, a pair of strappy jeans, and a pair of white Converse shoes, which were very simple and refreshing.
"Good looks are good, no matter what you wear, it's so beautiful!" Arthur naturally will not be stingy with praise, women are pleasing to themselves, if men are not good to praise, isn't it just ignoring and wasting the energy paid by women? That kind of man, deserve to be single!
"Thank you. Jiang Lai's beautiful eyes smiled like a crescent moon, walked out of the guest room with a luggage backpack, closed the door, and said, "Let's go." β
"I'll take it. Arthur smiled and took the backpack in Jiang Lai's hand, and then placed his other hand on Jiang Lai's waist very naturally.
Jiang Lai did not reject Arthur's intimacy, but walked to the elevator side by side with Arthur, and watched with some curiosity as two sturdy strangers in black suits and sunglasses walked into the elevator with them, and looked at Arthur with some suspicion and worry, and his beautiful eyes blinked as if asking Arthur who these people were and whether there would be a problem.
"Hehe, relax, it's okay, these two are my bodyguards, this is Balhogg, this is Bellgreen... This beautiful Miss Jiang Lai, a good friend of mine, comes from the ancient Oriental Celestial Empire. β
Hearing Arthur's introduction, Jiang Lai's originally nervous body and mind suddenly relaxed, first smiled and shook hands with the two bodyguards, and then glanced at Arthur with a charming look.
"You didn't say it earlier, it scared me, I thought... β
"Why do you think it's someone who is making trouble for me? Hehe, you must have watched too many Hollywood movies. Arthur teased.
"Hmph, you're a rich man, it's normal for me to think so, I still think, a big man like you, why don't you go out with a bodyguard?" Jiang Laijiao complained angrily.
"Hehe, Barr, they only came here today, I didn't have bodyguards before, mainly because I'm going to be famous recently, and I have to think more about my safety, hey, this is the trouble of becoming famous!"
Arthur shook his head helplessly and looked depressed, and Jiang Lai, who saw it, couldn't help but smile and glanced at him again.
Dingββ
The elevator door opened, Arthur's hand held Jiang Lai's slender waist, and they walked out of the elevator together, came to the parking space of Aston Martin, and said with a smile: "Get in the car, let's travel by car." β
