Top-class Bodyguard

Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue left the hotel and noticed the sky was gradually darkening.

"Xue'xue, what do you want to eat?"

Ren Feng glanced at the roadside, noticing there were plenty of restaurants.

"Chinese food, I guess," Xia Wenxue said softly.

Ren Feng scanned the area, his gaze settling on an inn, "Let's go there. The food must be good."

Xia Wenxue looked over; it was called Five Taels Tavern. Quite a unique name.

"Why are you so sure?" Xia Wenxue asked with a hint of doubt on her pretty face.

"Because," Ren Feng winked, "I have a sharp nose, I can smell the aroma from far away."

Xia Wenxue glanced around, nodding, "I agree; whenever Mr. Yun cooks, you arrive quickly, just like Jingjing used to."

Ren Feng was curious, "Who's Jingjing?"

"A cat I raised as a kid."

Ren Feng: "..."

Seeing Ren Feng's defeated look, Xia Wenxue felt immensely pleased and covered her mouth as she laughed.

Her laugh was like ice melting, a spring breeze blowing, and flowers blooming everywhere.

Ren Feng was stunned; Xia Wenxue was far more charming when she smiled compared to her usual cold demeanor.

"Xue'xue, your smile is beautiful," Ren Feng praised, "like a hundred flowers blooming."

"Really?"

Hearing Ren Feng's words, Xia Wenxue stopped smiling, reminded of something that saddened her.

"Let's eat."

Xia Wenxue led the way inside, while Ren Feng inwardly shook his head. He sensed Xia Wenxue had unresolved issues, but he didn't know what they were, or how to help.

As Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue entered the restaurant, a thug on the street lit up; did this woman look like the person Shui was looking for?

No doubt, the woman was beautiful, with a unique aura.

The thug was excited and immediately called someone.

"Shui, I found the person."

In a room, a man playing pool answered the phone.

"Got it."

Hong Shui casually hung up and tossed his cue aside, "Let's go. We found the person. It's time to settle the score. Notify Liu Wu, let him get back at them the way they were bullied."

Meanwhile, Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue were seated, and a waiter handed over the menu.

"What would you like to order, handsome?"

The waiter was sweet-talking, and Ren Feng looked at Xia Wenxue with a smile, "Xue'xue, what do you feel like eating?"

"Whatever," Xia Wenxue uttered absent-mindedly.

Ren Feng nodded, took the menu back, and told the waiter, "We'll have 'whatever', please."

"Huh?" The waiter was baffled, "Whatever?"

"Sir, we have over a hundred dishes here. Can you be more specific?"

"Specifically whatever," Ren Feng looked puzzled, "Didn't my girlfriend just say so?"

The waitress was dumbfounded and at a loss, "Sir, there's no 'whatever' on our menu."

Xia Wenxue shot a sharp glance at Ren Feng; this rascal was doing it on purpose.

"Alright, I'll order."

Seeing Ren Feng's cheeky grin, Xia Wenxue took the menu.

After ordering, Ren Feng asked, "Xue'xue, feeling any better now?"

"Not really," Xia Wenxue replied calmly, "You were just making fun of me."

"Xue'xue, I was just trying to cheer you up," Ren Feng chuckled, "How about I tell you a joke to make you laugh?"

Like a child sulking, Xia Wenxue retorted, "What if it isn't funny?"

"If it's not funny," Ren Feng thought for a moment, "you can do whatever you want with me."

"Alright, go ahead."

Ren Feng chuckled, then suddenly got serious, his voice deepened, "Before meeting you, I had quite a journey. Started with just four yuan, bought eight lollipops, tricked four kids in kindergarten, sold them to traffickers, made fifteen thousand;

spend one thousand to hire a lady, spiked her drink, harvested her kidney, made two hundred thousand, used the underworld to buy bulletproof vests and submachine guns with fifteen thousand, robbed a bank for six million.

But what I didn't expect, after returning to my country, helping an old lady up, was that I only had six yuan left."

After finishing, Ren Feng looked at Xia Wenxue, reverting to his playful demeanor, "Xue'xue, how's this joke?"

"Not funny," Xia Wenxue said, "But I find you rather funny."

"Why am I funny?" Ren Feng was puzzled.

"Because you look funny."

Xia Wenxue suddenly smiled slightly and pursed her lips.

Ren Feng was taken aback, then smiled bitterly, okay, Xia Wenxue could also crack cold jokes now.

But regardless, the mood had lightened.

Just then, outside the restaurant, a group of thugs in various outfits, carrying all sorts of weapons, walked uniformly in their direction.

Their presence was intimidating, exuding a gangster vibe, and their weapons added an air of menace.

As they approached, the street's atmosphere became tense, and nearby passersby, upon seeing this, couldn't help but panic.

"Oh my God, those are the Jin Gang people."

The crowd scattered in fear, other shops swiftly began closing, and as they passed, stores shut one after another.

The once bustling street suddenly felt deserted.

But what was peculiar was, in front of these fierce thugs, leading the way was a man of about 1.6 meters, wearing a suit, sunglasses, and a mustache, resembling a character from the Shanghai Beach era.

The height disparity between him and the tall followers created an odd scene, even somewhat comical.

However, Hong Shui didn't see it that way. He felt pleased by the surrounding fear, enjoying his renown's influence.

In Wansha City, who dared not to take a detour when hearing my name?

In Wansha City, I want the sky no longer to cover my eyes, the earth not to bury my heart, everyone to fear me, and every businessman to obediently pay up!

But at that moment, indulged in self-glory, Hong Shui's eyes narrowed; a nearby shop was still open, could it be they dared to stay open despite my presence?

Did I, Hong, lose my prestige?

"Boss, seems like they're new, don't understand the rules," a subordinate quickly said.

"Smash it."

Hong Shui instructed calmly, and immediately, some thugs walked toward the shop, causing a ruckus inside.

Watching the terrified owner start to close the door, Hong Shui nodded, ready to proceed, but suddenly turned around.

A little kid in split pants was staring blankly at him, sucking a lollipop, and Hong Shui pointed with two fingers, "No manners, teach him a lesson."

"Yes, boss."

A nearby thug dashed over, ruthlessly snatched the lollipop away.

And then, the child began wailing loudly.

Hong Shui nodded in satisfaction, really, these days people lack manners.

Finally arriving at the restaurant, Hong Shui said casually, "Is the person inside here?"

The thug who called quickly replied, "Yes, Hong, the person's inside."

Hong Shui said calmly, "Even I, Hong, have rules, bring them out here, solve it outside, don't wreck the place, who wants to go?"

"Boss, I'll go!"

A thug stepped forward.

Hong Shui nodded, and as the thug entered, Hong Shui turned back, "After we settle this, find the shopkeeper, collect the non-destruction fee, stick to the rules."

No sooner had he spoken when, with a thud, the thug who had just gone inside was thrown back at his feet.

Hong Shui turned back, growling, "Didn't I tell you to bring them out? Why aren't you inside yet?"

"No, boss," the thug cried pitifully, "I was thrown out."
