bodyguard against fate

Chapter 28 A Little Knowledge of Martial Arts

"Brother Qiang, what should we do?" the skinny guy asked the bearded man.

Qiang Ge glanced at Feng Weida: "Stuck in traffic!"

The skinny man pushed Feng Weida, trying to shove him into the bread cart.

"That one!" Qiang Ge said, glancing at Feng Weida. "With skills like that, he's a bodyguard? He's more like a nanny!"

The skinny man and the slightly chubby man shoved Feng Weida into the BMW, closed the door, and then got into the van together and drove to the agreed location.

When they arrived at the farmhouse, Qiang saw Wu Renxing's car parked to the side, the gate was closed, and there was a sign outside that said "Closed Today," so it didn't look like it was open for business.

"Brother Qiang, we're here." The skinny guy stopped the car.

"Call that guy surnamed Wu," Qiang said, stubbing out his cigarette.

The skinny man took out his phone and dialed Wu Renxing's number.

"Feed?"

"Feed?"

"Is this Mr. Wu?"

"it's me."

"We are Zhang Hao..."

"Wrong number!"

Before the skinny man could finish speaking, Wu Renxing hung up the phone.

The skinny guy was stunned and looked at Brother Qiang.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Qiang took the phone and called Wu Renxing again.

"Didn't I tell you? You dialed the wrong number!"

Wu Renxing hung up the phone again.

Qiang was stunned: "What's going on?"

The skinny guy realized what was happening: "Are you upset that we're late?"

"What did he say on WeChat just now?"

"He texted me saying, 'Can you do it? If not, I'll find someone else,'" the skinny man recounted.

"Damn it, are you trying to fool me?"

Brother Qiang angrily smashed his phone.

Suddenly, the skinny man spotted Wu Renxing's car.

"This car looks like it came from Leping."

The car from Leping starts with R, while the car from Qiaotou Village has an F license plate. Knowing that Wu Renxing had already arrived, Brother Qiang naturally thought of Wu Renxing.

"Is anyone inside?" Brother Qiang glanced at the farmhouse; the gate was tightly closed, and it wasn't open for business.

"I'll go take a look!" the skinny man said.

With Sun Erniang absent, four or five burly men sat haphazardly opposite He Xiuli and her two companions, seemingly monitoring them intentionally or unintentionally. The three women's cell phones were neatly arranged on the table, and whenever one rang, the men would glance at it before allowing the call to proceed. Wu Renxing received Qiang Ge's call in full view of everyone, and of course, he dared not admit to knowing Qiang Ge.

This idiot, can't he just send a message?

The problem is, with so many eyes watching, Wu Renxing doesn't even dare to send a message.

"Can I use the restroom?" Wu Renxing asked.

A burly man lowered his leg, which was blocking the stool, to let him pass. Wu Renxing then prepared to take his phone to the restroom to make a call.

"lay down!"

With a loud shout from the burly man, Wu Renxing had no choice but to put down his phone and leave dejectedly.

"You just want money, it's not like we're not going to give it to you, why are you doing this?" He Xiuli protested.

"What, you got a problem with that? You want me to tie you up?"

The burly man stood up and slowly walked up to He Xiuli, brandishing a fruit knife in front of her face. He Xiuli was afraid they would act unreasonably, so she could only turn her head to the side.

"Who?"

The big man intended to scare He Xiuli, but suddenly, a head appeared on the window—it was the skinny man!

The skinny man wanted to see if Wu Renxing was inside, so he peered through the window into the shop. He saw a burly man brandishing a knife at He Xiuli, and several other burly men eyeing He Yong and his daughter menacingly. Just then, Wu Renxing returned from the restroom. The skinny man saw that Wu Renxing was followed by people who looked like big brothers, so he turned and ran.

"Brother Qiang, we've been ripped off!" the skinny guy ran back to the car and said angrily.

"Speak slowly, what happened?" Brother Qiang couldn't believe it.

"That guy surnamed Wu has gathered another group of people; they're planning to kill his wife!"

Qiang Ge went out early in the morning, only to encounter a mudslide on the road. His car got stuck in the mud for an hour or two. He was already furious, and now that he heard that Wu Renxing had found someone else, it meant that he had worked for nothing all day. He was even more furious.

"I'll see who steals my job! Grab your weapons!"

The three men grabbed the wrenches, entrenching tools, and hammers they had prepared beforehand and headed straight for the farmhouse in a menacing manner.

Feng Weida, his hands and feet bound, a rag stuffed in his mouth, and a hood over his head, sat helplessly in the back seat of the BMW, calling out to heaven and earth in vain. He couldn't understand how his act of kindness had turned him into a victim; wasn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

He kept twisting his body, trying to break free of the ropes, but the ropes tightened more and more. Fortunately, in his struggle, the keys in his pocket fell onto the seat. There was a small folding knife on the keychain that he usually used to open packages. Feng Weida twisted his body, grabbed the keys, opened the folding knife, and desperately cut the ropes. Finally, the ropes broke. Feng Weida took off the hood, spat out the rag, untied the ropes on his feet, and gasped for breath.

They tied me up and stuffed a rag in my mouth. I can't let them get away with this!

The burly guard noticed someone outside and opened the gate to see who it was, only to find Brother Qiang and his two companions rushing up to him menacingly.

"Where's the one surnamed Wu?" Qiang asked from the doorway.

"Who are you?" The burly man glanced at him dismissively, not taking him seriously.

"Never mind who I am, tell him to come out!"

"You think you can just call out like that because you tell me to?" the big man spat.

After enduring a morning of humiliation, Qiang finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Kid, you're pretty cocky! Don't push your luck!"

"I don't want it anymore, so what?"

He Xiuli was completely confused and asked Wu Renxing, "Is he looking for you?"

They also called him "General Manager Wu" on the phone just now, so it was hard for He Xiuli not to think of Wu Renxing.

"I'm not the only one with the surname Wu," Wu Renxing said sheepishly. "Maybe the restaurant owner is also surnamed Wu..."

"How did he get your phone number?" He Xiuli wondered, "Could it be someone Xiao Feng called?"

"I didn't tell him we'd run into a rip-off place, did he somehow sense it?" Wu Renxing feigned sudden realization. "Who else but him would know we're here?"

"Trying to steal my job, huh? Get him!"

At Qiang Ge's command, the skinny guy and the slightly chubby guy, who had been holding back for a long time, rushed up and started physically attacking the big man. Hearing the commotion outside, the people inside also grabbed their weapons and came out to help, and the restaurant entrance was in complete chaos.

"Hurry up, let's go!"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them anymore, Wu Renxing quickly took back his phone and said to He Xiuli.

"Isn't that a bit unfair? What about the people Xiao Feng brought?" He Xiuli felt that it was a bit disloyal to just run away like this.

"They came to rescue us. Once we leave, they'll have nothing to worry about. Trust me, Dad, right?"

Wu Renxing is now thinking about severing ties with Brother Qiang as soon as possible. As for the video recordings in the store, he can ask for them later.

"You're the one who caused all this mess, you have to deal with it yourself!" He Yong said irritably.

He Yong pulled He Xiuli towards the door.

"Hey, did you pay me?"

At this moment, Sun Erniang, who had heard the commotion, came out and saw the three of them preparing to make a quick getaway.

"Hurry up!" Wu Renxing ran out first, followed by He Yong and He Xiuli.

"They've dined and dashed! Help! They've dined and dashed! Help!"

Sun Erniang chased after her while shouting.
