Chapter 303: The Person Behind Tan Long
Soon.
Wang Ye shifted his gaze to the person standing in the middlemost position at the forefront.
He stopped in front of him.
Tan Long introduced, "Boss Wang, this is a younger brother who has always been by my side, his name is Li Er."
"Hmm."
Wang Ye nodded slightly, his right hand gently resting on Li Er's shoulder, and the next second, he suddenly exerted force, lifting Li Er's entire body and slamming him hard onto the ground.
"Boss Wang, what are you..."
Seeing Wang Ye suddenly strike at the person by his side, Tan Long immediately wanted to stop Wang Ye, and his heart instantly became panicked.
He knew this was his subordinate.
Although Tan Long was loyal to Wang Ye and worked by his side, he did not want his underlings to be injured without any reason.
Just as Li Er was about to hit the ground by Wang Ye's hand, Wang Ye manipulated Li Er's energy, ensuring that even though Li Er was violently thrown to the ground, he wasn't hurt.
Wang Ye used force again with his wrist, helping Li Er up.
"This..."
Tan Long looked at this scene, even if he hadn't noticed anything at the beginning, now he had realized.
This Li Er was the person Wang Ye had mentioned in the office, the one who had always been behind him, protecting him.
"Good hiding, if I hadn't broken through to the Fourth Grade Martial Warrior, I might not have been able to pick you out from the crowd," Wang Ye spoke.
This Li Er also had some skills, a Fifth Grade Martial Warrior.
Although a Fifth Grade Martial Warrior could definitely not dominate in the underground world of Taiyuan City Prefecture, protecting Tan Long and allowing him to dominate in the underworld of Yun City was indeed possible.
"You other people, disperse," he ordered.
After checking once more to make sure that no other security guards possessed the energy of a Martial Warrior, Wang Ye instructed the rest of the martial warriors to disperse.
In the hall, only Wang Ye, Tan Long, and Li Er remained.
"Come, let's go to my office."
Inside Wang Ye's office.
Wang Ye sized up Li Er, who, in appearance, seemed no different from an ordinary person.
Because Martial Warriors are at a different level from normal people, their spirit, temperament, and mannerisms usually differ.
However, these differences seemed to be non-existent in Li Er.
In terms of temperament, spirit, or behavior, he was just like an ordinary person.
"Why are you protecting Tan Long, and who sent you to be by his side?" Wang Ye asked, turning towards Li Er.
Even though Tan Long was his man and Li Er had always been protecting him, Wang Ye still needed to clarify his identity.
If Li Er could be of use to him, that would be ideal; if not, Wang Ye wouldn't mind dealing with him directly.
Li Er didn't speak but glanced towards Tan Long.
Seeing this, Tan Long said, "You don't need to look at me, just speak directly to Boss Wang, I trust him completely."
At this point, Tan Long was also very curious.
If not for Wang Ye, he might never have known that there had always been a Fifth Grade Martial Warrior protecting him by his side.
Who exactly had sent him to his side, and what the purpose of protecting him was, were questions Tan Long was also curious about.
Upon seeing this.
Li Er then spoke up,
"I was sent by your father to protect you."
"My father?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Long's entire body shook.
It was known that Tan Long's father had died when he was very young, otherwise, under his father's protection, Tan Long would not have been driven out of the Tan Family.
Unexpectedly.
His deceased father had assigned someone to protect him from behind all this time.
"Correct."
Li Er nodded, "Before your father passed away, because of his significant contributions to the development of the Tan Family, which many in the family acknowledged, your father sensed something ominous."
"After all, your father was not the Family Head, yet the contributions he made were greater than those the Family Head had made. Even though your father had no ulterior motives, he had already predicted that he would definitely face great danger."
"At that time, your father found me, gave me a large sum as compensation, and asked me to protect you in secret."
"Whichever choices you made, I was not to interfere, nor was I to let you know of my existence, I just needed to stay by your side and protect you continuously,"
While Li Er was speaking, Wang Ye had been sizing up Li Er, analyzing from his expressions the possibility of any deception.
At this point.
After Li Er had finished speaking, Wang Ye briefly commented, "He didn't lie."
The expression on Tan Long's face changed immediately, even tears welled up in his eyes.
Since childhood, Tan Long had always disliked his father because his father was almost always busy, hardly spending quality time with him or his mother.
In the end, when Tan Long's parents died, his dislike for his father turned into hatred.
Because in Tan Long's view, his parents had died, and he had ended up in such a predicament, all because of his father.
Unexpectedly, even before his death, his father had specifically arranged for someone to protect him.
This also made Tan Long's loyalty towards Wang Ye grow stronger.
After all, only by following Wang Ye could he possibly return to the Tan Family.
Wang Ye looked at Li Er and said,
"Since you are here to protect Tan Long, when Tan Long goes out, you can continue to protect him as usual."
"However, when Tan Long is not going out, within the Suye Group, you need to listen to me. Can you do that?"
As a Fifth Grade Martial Warrior, Wang Ye could feel from Li Er the formidable power of a Martial Warrior, indicating that Li Er had high potential.
Furthermore, considering that Tan Long's father had sent Li Er to protect Tan Long,
and that Li Er had been able to protect Tan Long discreetly without his knowledge, it was evident that Li Er had commendable loyalty.
These factors combined, made Wang Ye value his talents highly.
"Moreover, I will give you a substantial additional compensation."
"You protect Tan Long, I make Tan Long return to the Tan Family, cooperating with me is not a loss for you."
After Wang Ye had finished speaking,
a contemplative look appeared on Li Er's face.
Eventually, Li Er nodded and said, "I can."
Following this, Wang Ye, Li Er, and Tan Long stayed in the office and discussed matters for the entire afternoon.
