Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "No rush. We can't let these two mess up our business."

Yao Lili looked worried and said anxiously, "Why don't we hire a few more bodyguards here?"

Lu Yang also felt that there wasn't enough manpower, so this method was not bad.

They just don't know where they can hire bodyguards here, since they've only just arrived.

He thought about it and then called Li Rongqing to inquire about the matter.

Li Rongqing was somewhat surprised after hearing Lu Yang's words.

He never expected that Lu Yang would ask him where he could hire a bodyguard.

He thought about it carefully for a moment, but didn't answer immediately. He said cautiously, "I'll look into it for you. If you feel unsafe, don't go out for now. I'll call you back tomorrow to let you know the results."

After hanging up the phone, Li Rongqing told his father, Director Li, about it.

After hearing Li Zhongqing's words, Director Li frowned: "Lu Yang is in trouble, and it's not a small trouble."

"Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have hired more bodyguards. Didn't he bring two bodyguards with him when he came?"

Li Rongqing was also somewhat puzzled: "I've seen those two bodyguards before, and they looked very well-trained."

Director Li thought for a moment and said, "Let's help him find it first, and we can ask about the rest later."

Li Rongqing immediately called his classmates, many of whom had not gone to the countryside and had been working in the provincial capital.

After making inquiries, he found a reliable security company.

After noting down the security company's address, he immediately contacted Lu Yang, who thanked him profusely.

Li Rongqing then asked, "You already have bodyguards with you, so why do you need to hire more?"

Lu Yang said helplessly, "To be honest, I spotted two acquaintances; they're from out of town..."

When Lu Yang told Li Rongqing that he had encountered two human traffickers, who turned out to be his father and cousin, Li Rongqing was utterly shocked.

It took him a while to find his voice, and he quickly asked, "Is the cousin you're talking about the one who took your university spot?"

Lu Yang smiled wryly and said, "It was him. He was reported by someone when he was a junior and was expelled from school."

"This guy was sentenced to prison for forging antiques and calligraphy and painting to commit fraud some time ago, but somehow he escaped from prison and is now a real outlaw."

Li Rongqing remained silent for a while before finally continuing, "Remember to call me when you're looking for a bodyguard, and I'll come over and take a look for you."

Lu Yang quickly refused, "You're not feeling well either, so don't bother yourself in this cold weather. We can go by ourselves."

"We'll finalize the shop deal in the next few days, and then we'll need your help to find connections so we can open the shop as soon as possible."

Hearing Wu Yang's relaxed tone, Li Rongqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Lu Yang doesn't find it troublesome, then the problem shouldn't be too big.

The next morning, Lu Yang and Yao Lili went to the security company that Li Rongqing had introduced.

After Lu Yang explained his purpose, the other party immediately recommended several people to him.

Lu Yang selected two of them and left the security company with them and Yao Lili.

On his way back to the hotel, Lu Yang received a call from one of the bodyguards.

The bodyguards had already found out Lu Jianjun and Lu Yao's address. After confirming the address, Lu Yang immediately got out of the car and used a public phone to call the police.

Lu Yao was essentially a "dead man," so he had a legitimate reason to report him.

After reporting the incident, he called his bodyguards and reminded them to keep an eye out for the area and make sure the police had arrested the two men.

The purpose of hiring bodyguards was to prevent any mishaps that might occur if these two people weren't arrested, and someone else escaped.

If those two find out he reported them, given their personalities, it would be strange if they didn't kill him once they found him.

He got back into the car and this time headed straight for the hotel. After he got back to the hotel and took a shower, he received a call from his bodyguard.

"Boss, there was a slight mishap. Lu Jianjun desperately covered Lu Yao's escape."

"However, Lu Yao didn't have much money with him, so he probably can't have gone far. The police are trying to catch him."

“Li Xin has already gone after him. I called you and I will also go after Lu Yao. If I get any news about him, I will call the police immediately.”

Lu Yang responded and couldn't help but sigh. He knew at least that Lu Yao couldn't have gone far, and catching him was only a matter of time.

He told Yao Lili the news, and Yao Lili frowned: "Don't go out for the next few days. Lu Yao is being pushed to the brink and might go crazy."

Lu Yang nodded and sat on the sofa watching TV in a particularly good mood.

Around 3 p.m., the bodyguard called, saying helplessly, "We lost him. I originally thought Lu Yao would run to the disco, but I didn't expect that although Lu Yao ran into that street, he didn't go into the disco."

"He changed direction and went somewhere else. By the time we caught up with him, he was already gone."

Lu Yang thought about it carefully for a moment, then said helplessly, "Find a secluded corner and see if Lu Yao will come out on his own. Don't rush him."

The bodyguard responded with regret: "We almost caught him. We'll keep an eye on him from here."

“He will definitely come out. There aren’t many residents around here, and it will be a problem for him to stay and eat.”

Lu Yang took a sip of tea, realizing that catching the other party would not be easy.

Lu Yao wasn't stupid. Since he dared to run this way, he must be confident he could escape. There must be someone there to meet him.

However, he wasn't entirely sure, so he didn't tell the two bodyguards.

Two days later, there was still no news from Lu Yao, but Lu Yang didn't want to wait any longer.

He beckoned Yao Lili to go out with him. The two of them, accompanied by two bodyguards, went to find the owner of the shop they had seen a few days ago.

After some haggling, the two parties finally agreed on a price of 400,000 to buy the storefront.

This price is actually quite expensive here, but Lu Yang is still willing to pay it.

Because this building is in a prime location, it has two floors and a basement, and the area is quite large, with each floor being about 100 square meters.

The homeowner felt that 40 was a bit too little, but Lu Yang was only willing to pay that much.

The boss was also in dire need of money, so he had no choice but to compromise.

After the group completed the property transfer at the real estate bureau, Lu Yang received the property certificate two days later. He immediately contacted Li Rongqing to handle the restaurant registration procedures.

When Li Rongqing arrived, Lu Yang had already been in the newly purchased shop for two hours, and he had even written a recruitment notice and hung it on the door.

Yao Lili went directly to the labor market with a bodyguard to recruit people. Lu Yang invited him to sit down and had a cup of tea first.

This shop was originally a restaurant, so all the tables and chairs were given to Lu Yang.

All he needed to buy were pots, pans, and other similar items; there weren't many things he needed to acquire, so Lu Yang wasn't in a hurry.
