Chapter 262: Let Xiao Fang Accompany Shen Honghong

Hearing Shen Honghong say that,

I said, "It's not that I'm cold‑blooded; they're the ones forcing me. I've already told you, I let them ruin my family and turn my wife into a vegetative patient, lying in bed all the time. Revenge is the only reason I stay alive."

Forget it, I won't tell you these things.

You're tired too.

Shi Yong went to Shanghu to find a doctor, to show you the leg wound.

"It's nothing, just a slight skin abrasion. This place is called Shanghu. Are we safe living here? Don't let them come again," Shen Honghong asked.

"It looks safe for now. Rest assured, we'll protect you with all our might," I said.

"I only let you protect me; actually I have nowhere to go. Living here is fine, the inn is quite warm," Shen Honghong said and sat down.

At this moment, Shi Yong pushed the door open and entered,

"Brother, the doctor has arrived, let Ms. Shen have a look."

I said, "Alright, let the doctor in."

Shi Yong brought the doctor into the room.

I stepped out of the room,

and went to Shangguan Zhuren's room,

Shangguan Zhuren asked, "This woman is no longer causing trouble."

I nodded,

"No more trouble, we agree to cooperate. In fact, she had no choice."

"We are unfamiliar with this woman and don't know whether what she says is true. How to protect her is a problem," Shangguan Zhuren asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet; she's a woman, and we can't live together, which is a bit troublesome," I said.

"Send Xiao Fang over. Xiao Fang is also a host like this woman; she can protect her and keep an eye on her, lest she runs away. That would be a huge loss," Shangguan Zhuren said.

"Fine, Qi He Kuang is back to normal production; Xiao Fang staying there is of no use. Send her over."

Shangguan Zhuren then began contacting Xiao Fang, urging her to come quickly.

The doctor has finished treating Shen Honghong's injuries; Shi Yong, come over and let me know.

I asked the doctor, "How are the injuries?"

The doctor said, "They're just superficial skin abrasions, no serious problem, just don't bathe for a week."

I nodded, gave Shi Yong some money for the doctor, and sent the doctor away.

I went into Shen Honghong's room to check and found her already lying on the bed, sleeping.

I closed the door and waited for Shi Yong to return,

I said to Shi Yong, "You have no business, just sit by the door and watch. If Shen Honghong needs anything and calls you, then you can go in."

Shi Yong was delighted,

"Alright, brother, don't worry, I love being a flower guardian."

"Shi Yong, well done. Don't judge by your dark face; your heart isn't dark," I praised Shi Yong.

Shi Yong smiled shyly at my compliment.

That evening, Xiao Fang returned from Qi He Kuang.

When Xiao Fang saw me, she said, "Brother Jianqiang, did you know the conflict between Sister Xiao Feng and Ye Jianming is getting bigger."

I asked Xiao Fang, "What conflict do they have? Production at the mine is normal, just the fund turnover is a bit slower.

I don't interfere with mine affairs; those two, for whatever reason, are quarreling."

Xiao Fang said, "It's because of money. Now the mine's reclaimed funds, Ye Jianming wants to transfer a part early, but Sister Xiao Feng says she refuses.

She says the use of those funds must be discussed with you."

Ye Jianming then says Xiao Feng betrayed him, not sharing his mind.

So whenever they meet and speak, they argue."

After Xiao Fang finished speaking,

Shangguan Zhuren said, "Ye Jianming's 8 million investment is to launder the money, making it legal.

Fortunately Xiao Feng is there, so his plan didn't succeed.

Hmph, trying to easily turn illegal money into legal, there's no way.

Xiao Feng is still good, able to uphold justice."

I said to Xiao Fang, "I can't spare time now, I have no time to handle Qi He Kuang matters.

If I had time, I'd just drive Ye Jianming away, damn it, what a thing.

Tell Xiao Feng not to fear Ye Jianming.

Now we have money in hand. We don't need his 8 million.

If he argues with Xiao Feng again, let him take the 8 million and get lost."

Xiao Fang laughed, "We're about to have money soon."

I said, "Someone is investing in us now.

Willing to put in money. Zaocheng Xin Cheng's Emerald Bamboo Garden still has 500,000 cash, that's for you; the last cosmetic surgery was paid by you."

"I don't want it, I don't need money now; Qi He Kuang pays me nearly 20,000 a month, I can't spend it all.

I'll keep that money for later, I'll use it when I buy shares," Xiao Fang said with a smile.

"Money matters can be discussed later. Xiao Fang, you're here this time for an important matter," Shangguan Zhuren said.

"Father, tell me, what's the important matter? Is it to let me rescue someone."

"Not to rescue anyone, but to have you protect a person. Her name is Shen Honghong, also a host. You need to protect her and also monitor her, don't let her run away," I said.

"Shen Honghong, is she the host from the Sports Channel?" Xiao Fang asked.

I nodded.

"It's her. Do you know her?"

Xiao Fang said, "How could I possibly know someone of that caliber? They're all lofty; to us, they're the ceiling of the hosting world."

"Where is Teacher Shen? Everyone's in Sijiucheng; how could I protect her?"

Shangguan Zhuren laughed, "Now, we'll invite her over, right here in the inn. Xiao Fang, from now on you'll eat and live together with her."

"Besides learning and communicating with her, you must monitor her daily to stop her from running away."

"Aren't we just grabbing her?" Xiao Fang asked.

"It's not a capture; our relationship with her is cooperation. She's useful to us," I said.

Xiao Fang looked at me and smiled,

"Brother Jianqiang, I understand. Dad, this also gives me a salary; I can't work for free."

"Alright, the salary matter is easy to discuss," Shangguan Zhuren said, looking at Xiao Fang with a loving smile.

Shangguan Zhuren again said to me, "Jianqiang, take Xiao Fang to see Shen Honghong. It's so late already; Shen Honghong should get up now."

I said, "Alright, Shangguan Zhuren. Shi Yong is watching at the door; he probably hasn't woken up yet. If he does, Shi Yong will let me know. Come, Xiao Fang, let's go take a look."

After I finished speaking, I took Xiao Fang and left the room.

We had just arrived at Shen Honghong's room door when we heard Shi Yong's snore.

Shi Yong sat on a stool, sleeping soundly,

with drool at his mouth.

This Shi Yong, when we let him watch people, actually fell asleep.

I patted Shi Yong's shoulder,

"Shi Yong, the person ran away."

Shi Yong startled awake, then shouted, "Who ran? I'll chase right away."

After saying that, he stood up and rushed outward.

Xiao Fang looked on, laughing heartily.

Only then did Shi Yong look at me carefully,

"Brother, don't make jokes like this with me, or I'll develop a nervous problem."

"I let you watch the door, and you fell asleep? That's negligence. How is Shen Honghong now?" I asked.

"Probably still sleeping," Shi Yong said.

"I've been awake for a long time, damn, it's so noisy; how could I fall asleep? Your snoring is killing people," Shen Honghong said, opening the room door.

Seeing Shen Honghong, Shi Yong immediately greeted her with a smiling face,

"Madam Shen, my snoring is specifically to protect you; even spirits and ghosts wouldn't dare approach."
