Chapter 22: Hired Bodyguards

"Mr. Li, I have been a bit competitive with someone in the business field recently, and the other party has a special background and threatens to trouble me. Chu Xiaotian said a little unnaturally: "After that incident four years ago, I sent Xiaoqian to study abroad, she will come back to Hong Kong tomorrow, her studies have not been completed, and she will return to foreign countries in two months." So during this time, I want to trouble Mr. Li to take care of her for me and protect her safety. ”

Li Xiao understood, it turned out that Chu Xiaotian had provoked the underworld, and was given a "bonus" by others, and asked him to come to his sister as a flower messenger. Li Xiao frowned and said, "Boss Chu, this kind of thing, you should hand it over to the police to deal with." I'm afraid ......"

"But the other party has no substantive action, you know, the police are not easy to deal with. Mr. Li, don't worry, I am dealing with this matter, and it should be resolved soon, maybe not as long as two months. Seeing that Li Xiao had the intention of prevarication, Chu Xiaotian was a little anxious, and hurriedly interrupted Li Xiao's words of resignation.

Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, Boss Chu, you might as well let Miss Chu stay abroad for a while longer, isn't it a problem?"

Chu Xiaotian sighed and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, with Xiaoqian's temperament, she insists on coming back, and if she doesn't tell you, I can't help it." If she hadn't come back, it wouldn't have made a difference, at most she would have come back, and I don't know. Chu Xiaotian doted on this little sister who was nearly thirty years younger than himself, and he really had no way to deal with this unruly little princess.

Seeing that Li Xiao was silent, Chu Xiaotian said pitifully: "Mr. Li, I know you are embarrassed, but for the sake of our friendship, just help me with this!"

Li Xiao was indeed a little embarrassed, thinking of Chu Xiaoqian's thief-like gaze, and the way he crossed his waist with one hand and dug his nostrils with one finger, he couldn't help frowning. But the most important thing is not this, but that there is no oil and water to be made in this transaction, and it is really a trivial matter to be a bodyguard for a little girl. No matter how much you say that such a large building of "friendship" given by others is erected there, and he is quite comfortable to live in, such a big thing, how can he be embarrassed to ask others for money? It's hard to speak! Besides, this kind of trivial matter is not something that he can't solve, and Chu Xiaotian's own security company is more than competent.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Boss Chu, it's not that I refuse to help. It's just that there was a strange case in Hong Kong recently, which has alarmed Interpol, and I also accepted the invitation of the police and was very busy with this strange case. ”

"If it's just because of this, Mr. Li, please rest assured, I can contact the senior management of the police station, in short, it will not affect your assistance to the police in handling this case. Chu Xiaotian said: "Xiao Qian is actually very knowledgeable, if Mr. Li needs to go to the police station to do business, you can take her with you and stay in the police station, Xiao Qian will definitely not make trouble for you." ”

The special adviser of the police is not a police officer, and Li Xiao's duty is only to provide relevant advice, advice and necessary assistance when the police deem it necessary, and does not need to participate in the actual work of solving the case like a regular police officer. Chu Xiaotian also knew this, so he made such a request to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, Chu Xiaotian's words were all said to this, and he couldn't shirk it no matter what. With Chu Xiaotian's identity, if he really misunderstood that he couldn't withdraw because of that murder case, with his influence, with just a word or two, he wouldn't have to "assist" Zhang Biao to solve the case. At that time, he had no excuse, and he couldn't refuse his request, so he still had to give him this trip for nothing.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao had no choice but to nod and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chu insists, then okay! Mr. Chu doesn't have to contact the police, I will do my best, live up to the trust, and protect Miss Chu's safety." ”

Chu Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "With Mr. Li's words, I will rest assured! Please rest assured that other things will be done exactly according to your wishes, since you don't think you need to greet the police, I will definitely not make my own decisions, Mr. Li can rest assured." By the way, Xiaoqian will be back to Hong Kong in three days, so let's do it! I'll send a car to pick you up and pick her up at the airport together!"

Li Xiao smiled: "That's not necessary, three days later, I'll just arrive at the house on time." ”

"This ......" Chu Xiaotian hesitated slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to hide it, because I don't want to be noticed by the other party, after Xiaoqian returns to Hong Kong, I plan to let her stay in a hotel outside." Anyway, living at home, I was busy with business all day and didn't have time to spend with her. As soon as the two-month vacation was over, she went back to Hong Kong, and in two months, her return to Hong Kong was just like a tour, and she didn't want to stay! I had already told her about this, and she agreed. So, after three days, I hope that Mr. Li can pick her up at the airport and take her with him. Mr. Li, I'm really bothering you. ”

Li Xiao suddenly realized that something was wrong, this bodyguard seemed to be not easy, and he had to be responsible for the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of that barbaric aunt and grandmother, and live in a hotel! Can a rich lady like this live in an ordinary hotel? I haven't met a decent Kaizi for several months, and I rely on the salary of the part-time consultant in the police station, which is not enough to buy candy for Xiaoshan, where can I afford Miss Chu to live in a high-end hotel? It seems that this time I will lose a lot!

Li Xiao asked tentatively, "Boss Chu, what do you mean...... Is it for me to stay with the eldest lady twenty-four hours a day?"

Chu Xiaotian nodded, smiled with a round face, and said again and again: "Mr. Li, it's really too troublesome for you." ”

Li Xiao felt that wronged in his heart! This is good, other people are bodyguards who only go out and take them with them, and they have become full-time nannies. Looking at Chu Xiaotian smiling in front of him, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that businessmen are the most treacherous, and he is still too innocent! He actually thinks this guy is good, but he is obviously a profiteer who doesn't eat dogs! This guy must have found that the "friendship" he gave out before was too bad, and now he wants to get some back.

Li Xiaozheng was depressed in his heart, Chu Xiaotian saw that he no longer shirked, handed over a check with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, with the friendship between you and me, it shouldn't be so vulgar. But my brother settles the account, this little meaning is not a respect, please be sure to accept it. As for Xiaoqian, when she troubles you, she is responsible for any expenses, and you don't have to pay attention to it. I've already told her about this. ”

"Boss Chu, this is just a trivial matter, everyone is so familiar. Why are you embarrassed to accept your money?" Li Xiao smiled and excused himself, but a big stone in his heart fell with a "bang". Damn, I see that I have misunderstood others, what a rare and legitimate businessman! I have considered everything thoughtfully, how can I think of others so badly!

"Yes, Mr. Li is willing to help, and I am already grateful. There is no other meaning to this money, but some ordinary expenses are always required, Mr. Li, please accept it. Seeing that Li Xiao deliberately excused himself, Chu Xiaotian was a little anxious.

One pretends not to want, the other really wants to give, and the result is naturally no suspense. Li Xiao took the check, glanced at the numbers on it casually, frowned, and then couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He quietly put the check in his pocket, and his opinion of Chu Xiaotian couldn't help but change a little in his heart, he originally thought that if he had a business to take care of, it would be a bit too much to give him a nine-percent discount for the sake of acquaintances. Such an interesting friend, how can you only get a 9% discount, at least an 85% discount.

Although Zhang Chongzhen didn't interject when Chu Xiaotian and Li Xiao were talking about business, he was actually very cheerful and talkative. Chu Xiaotian had a lot of support, and his mood was also a lot more relaxed, the three of them talked and laughed casually, and the convoy slowly slid on the highway for nearly an hour before turning around and sending Li Xiao back to the villa, and several people politely said goodbye to each other.

Watching Li Xiao walk into the villa, Chu Xiaotian slowly withdrew his gaze, sighed heavily, and said, "Master Zhang, do you think he can do it?"

Zhang Chongzhen's eyes were looking at the villa where Li Xiao lived through the car window, and when he heard Chu Xiaotian's words, Zhang Chongzhen nodded, but he didn't answer the question, and said: "The geographical pattern of this place is somewhat unique, the earth bones are calm, the Xunqian is sloping, and the back is against the green mountains. The house happened to be built in the center of this Yin Gathering Land, but I had just looked closely, and the house had a stable atmosphere, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Looks like I was right, you should have provoked something unclean from here four years ago, but you were scared away by this man. ”

Zhang Chongzhen paused, and then said: "This person's breath and breath are deep and long, secretly in line with the rhythm of the alternation of yin and yang in heaven and earth, the essence of his eyes is introverted, and there is a faint tendency of god and qi to merge. The aura around the body is condensed but not gathered, hidden but not released, and every move is accompanied by qi, but there is no Taoist aura fluctuation. In my opinion, this person is not a person who has learned the Tao, but must be a master of the inner family. Although Mr. Chu was relieved that the young lady was safely handed over to this person, even if he was a cultivator of the evil sect, he would not want to be favored by this person. ”

Although Chu Xiaotian has a fat head and big ears, he looks like he is honest, but he is actually very cautious, otherwise he would not be undefeated in the business field, like a fish in water. He listened to Zhang Chongzhen's words, his heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Master Zhang, according to what you said, in addition to wild ghosts and ghosts in this world, there are also all kinds of demons and evils, so are there some particularly powerful demons and evils that can turn into human appearances and make it completely impossible to distinguish?"

Zhang Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, if it is a demon with profound demonic power, it can naturally incarnate as a human, and even its breathing, heartbeat, pulse, and body structure are completely indistinguishable from humans. But if there is such a demon that even I can hide from the past, I must have already passed the demon law, and I disdain to mingle in the world. ”

Chu Xiaotian said strangely: "Why?"

Zhang Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "Don't hide it, my cultivation has reached the realm of the Ninth Heaven of the First Yuan, unless it is a monster above the quenching stage, it will definitely not be able to hide in my eyes." And the monsters who have cultivated to the quenching stage, with a body of magic skills to participate in the creation, have a glimpse of the way of heaven, in order to prove eternal life, is their ultimate pursuit. The glorious wealth of the human world, the power and beauty, and all kinds of things that attract human beings are just at their fingertips, so where will they still put them in their eyes? Just like Mr. Chu, you, your family has tens of billions of dollars, and you have fine clothes and jade food at your fingertips, will you still mingle among the beggars on the street and snatch the leftovers with them?"

Chu Xiaotian nodded suddenly, and said with a little hesitation: "But Master Zhang, didn't you say that cultivators use charms or Dao methods to draw the mysterious power of heaven and earth, and manpower cannot be matched? According to what you say, Li Xiao is just a young man who is proficient in martial arts, and martial arts is just a fighting skill in the final analysis, can it be against powerful spells?"

Zhang Chongzhen smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, according to our cultivators' opinions, the heavens and the earth are mysterious, and the universe is endless. The pursuit of the way of heaven has never been just a fixed pattern. That's why there are so many sects in the cultivation world, and any kind of cultivation method, as long as it reaches the Great Perfection, it is possible to get a glimpse of the Heavenly Dao and shatter the void. The so-called unity of all laws, the same end of different paths, is precisely this principle. The traditional Chinese martial arts are not ordinary fighting skills, but also build the foundation with qi, gather qi and nourish the spirit, combine the yin and yang in the body, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in the world. If you reach the end of your cultivation and shatter the void like us cultivators, it is not impossible. The acquired vitality in Li Xiao's body should have been a small success. If it weren't for his young age, I would have even thought that he had already stepped into the realm of martial saints. ”

"Martial Saint?" Chu Xiaotian was startled. Martial Saint, he had heard of it, wasn't he referring to Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms?

Zhang Chongzhen knew that he wanted to be crooked as soon as he saw Chu Xiaotian's expression, and said with a smile: "Martial arts, practice to the peak, after Yuanyang Dacheng, the body becomes yin and yang, breathe and breathe with heaven and earth, every gesture, natural qi follows, this is entering the realm of martial saints." Yicheng is the body of a martial saint, Yuanyang is as solid as a rock, and the three flowers outside the body are gathered, not to mention the ordinary yin and evil views, even if I use my attainments, the magic is applied to his body, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hurt him. Unless he is a master above the marrow washing period, the Dao Law will cause harm to him, and now that the Dao Law is in decline, this kind of master is rare even among the famous mountains and rivers, so the safety of the young lady is entrusted to this person, and there will be no problem. ”

Chu Xiaotian listened to the book of heaven, but he understood the last sentence. He frowned and sighed: "Master Zhang, I hope that with your auspicious words, Xiaoqian can survive this catastrophe safely." ”

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chongzhen smiled and said: "The eldest lady is born with a pure yin body, and the so-called lonely yin is not born, and she is destined to be extremely dangerous in this catastrophe." But Li Xiao, with his pure and heavy aura, I estimate that the inner family exercises he cultivates are exactly the masculine path he takes. In the whole of Hong Kong, I am afraid that there is no one more yang than him. The safety of the young lady is entrusted to him, and it is the person who has entrusted it, but it is the most suitable, and the young lady will definitely survive this catastrophe safely. ”

Chu Xiaotian nodded, finally relaxed his brows, and let out a long breath.

The convoy made a bend and quickly disappeared into the distance.
