Laughing, the host always wants to escape

"Having said that, you always need to get in touch with it. So, let me let you do the simplest thing first so that you can get familiar with the process. Is that okay?" Tang Hong reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Simple things? What are they?"

"Well... let your sixth brother talk to you." Tang Hong turned his gaze to the man at the last seat.

Hearing his name, Zuo Wenzhou stood up and smiled at Tang Cuo, "Xiao Cuo, a few days ago, a man used himself as collateral to borrow money from us. Calculating the date, it's time to get it back. His family lives in the Lujiawan area. Can you take a few people to try tomorrow?"

"Lujia Wan? Isn't that a shantytown?" Tang Cuo was a little puzzled. Lujia Wan was a well-known poor area in their area. There were basically no wealthy families there.

"Well, the person who borrowed the money is called Yang Mucheng. He lent us a total of one million. Including principal and interest, he should pay us back two and a half million." Zuo Wenzhou spread his hands.

Take less?

Two and a half million?

Oh my god, why don’t you just go and rob this?

"Two and a half million? Sixth brother, isn't this a bit too much?" Tang Cuo swallowed.

"Not much. We acted as guarantors for him, so we had the best of both worlds. These hard work fees haven't even been counted."

"What if he doesn't give it to me?" Tang Cuo blinked.

With a "pa", a dagger shining with silver light was thrown onto the table by another person, making a crisp sound. "Then it depends on whether money or life is more important?"

"Xiao Cuo, don't worry. Fourth brother will find someone to protect you. Nothing will happen." Bai Mian smiled.

"How about it, Xiaocuo, go and give it a try?" Tang Hong's gentle voice comforted him.

"Okay, but I also have a request." Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes and said.

"Okay? What do you want?"

"Father, do you still remember Jian Rong?" Tang Cuo observed Tang Hong's expression.

As expected, when his name came out, not only Tang Hong, but also the other people at the table changed their expressions. "Jian Rong, remember, what happened?"

"Father, I think he's quite skilled. It would be a shame if he died. I want him to be my bodyguard. Is that okay?"

"No." As soon as the words fell, not only Tang Hong, but also several people in Feng Cheng refused.

"Xiao Cuo, listen to your father. He is too dangerous and may hurt you. Do you understand what I mean?" Tang Hong said.

"I understand, but didn't you tell me to exercise myself?" Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes.

"Change your request and I'll consider it." Tang Hong's tone did not allow for argument.

"Father, I just want him to be my bodyguard. Besides, this is our territory, and he wouldn't dare to do anything to me, right?" Tang Cuo's eyes were firm.

"Do you know how much he hates me? Xiaocuo, what father sees in his eyes is the old me, a mixture of ambition and desire. You must never have too much contact with him, otherwise one day, you will get hurt." Tang Hong said in a firm voice.

"Just let him follow me for a few days. If it still doesn't work then, you can take him away. If that doesn't work, can you send a few more people to protect me?" Tang Cuo didn't give in.

Seeing how determined he was, Tang Hong sighed, "Well, I'll give you a few days. If he has any bad intentions, I will never let him go."

"Thank you, father. I will take him with me when I collect the debt this time." After saying that, before Tang Hong could reply, Tang Cuo left the table on his own and walked towards his bedroom.

The people behind him looked at his back, their faces full of helplessness, "This child, I just spoiled him."

"Don't be angry, father. Xiaocuo is just young and a little playful. He will understand your good intentions."

"Xiao Su, you are his elder brother, so educate him on everything."

"Yes." Qu Su nodded.

"Next, let's talk about something else. I got some information that a batch of goods was shipped over at the border. Did you know about this?" Tang Hong's eyes were sharp.

"Yes, my son heard about it too." Feng Cheng took over the conversation.

"Very good, then let's leave this matter to Fengcheng. Intercept the batch of goods and hand the transporters over to the local police officers nearby. As for the goods, let them deal with them as well." Tang Hong said in a steady voice.

"Yes, son, I promise to get it done." Feng Cheng nodded.

"You have to understand that although we are in charge of the underground enterprises in City A, there are some things we can touch, and some things are the bottom line that we cannot touch. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will follow my father's teachings."

"Okay, nothing else, let's all go." Tang Hong stood up and walked towards the door.

Inside the room, Tang Cuo gently turned the handle and opened the door. He looked at the pitch-black darkness inside and called out softly, "Jian Rong, are you awake?"

Seeing that no one answered, Tangcuo planned to go sit somewhere else for a while.

[Host, he has woken up.]

"Awake? Then he won't speak." Tang Cuo was a little angry. He was so careful, afraid of waking him up.

Thinking about this, he turned on the wall lamp directly. The dazzling white light shone on the two of them. Tang Cuo looked at Jian Rong who was leaning against the wall on the bed and asked, "You woke up, why didn't you say so?"

"I wasn't awake just now. I woke up when you turned on the light." Jian Rong said calmly.

Forget it, he is a patient, you can’t bother with him.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, there will be no one to take care of you when you get angry.

Tangcuo smoothed his chest and then shouted to the door, "Bring the food over."

Jian Rong stared at him quietly, wanting to see what he was going to do.

A few minutes later, several subordinates brought in the food and placed it on the bedside table.

"Well, you must be starving, why don't you eat something first?"

"I'm afraid you'll poison me."

Are you afraid that I'll poison you?

Tang Cuo pursed his lips, then picked up the chopsticks beside him, took a few bites, and put them in his mouth, "It's not poisonous, is this okay?"

"You've eaten. I'm a germaphobe." Jian Rong turned his head away.

Hey, are you really trying to make me unhappy?

If you don't eat it, you're afraid it might be poisonous, but if you eat it, you'll become a germaphobe.

"Shi Rui, tell someone else to do it again and record the whole process for me."

"Okay, young master."

Now let’s see what you say.

"Jian Rong, from now on, you are my bodyguard and you must listen to me in everything." Tang Cuo lowered his eyes and looked at him.

"Bodyguard?" A hint of hesitation appeared on Jian Rong's face.

"Ah."

"I disagree."

"Look at your current situation. If you want to survive, you can only be my bodyguard." Tang Cuo said in a tone of disappointment.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you when I make a comeback in the future?" Jian Rong clenched his fingers under his body into fists.

Okay.

You're going to die anyway.

"Well... I'm afraid. Let's talk about it when you make a comeback in the future." Tang Cuo said perfunctorily. What he didn't know was that his tone sounded like he was looking down on him to Jian Rong's ears.

Jian Rong loosened his clenched fists and suppressed the hatred in his eyes: He was right, and now I have important things to do by myself. Becoming his bodyguard, many things have become much easier.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"Nothing. I'll go collect the debt in a few days. You can come with me. Um... wait until your wounds get better."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Rui, who was at the door, brought up the freshly prepared meal again and placed it on the bedside table.

"You can eat it now." Tangcuo threw the video recorder to him. "I won't eat it even if it's not poisonous."

Maybe she was really hungry, Jian Rong did not argue with him, but ate all the food silently.
