Chapter 12

~6 min read 1,172 words

Just after saying goodbye to a few people, Wang Xuan went to the company again because there were several contracts waiting for him to sign.

After leaving the company, Wang Xuan sat inside the Bentley.

What Wang Xuan did not notice was that there were two vans behind his Bentley following him the whole time.

"Director Wang, where are we going now?"

"Go to the rental apartment I lived in before first; I'm going to check out and move into Villa No. 1 in Huatianpan."

"Understood, Director Wang."

On the way, the Guanjia introduced the bodyguards behind the Bentley to Wang Xuan.

Only then did Wang Xuan discover that the two cars following in front of and behind the Bentley were all bodyguards previously arranged by Mr. Wang Zhenfan, and one of them was even a retired special forces soldier.

Just as he entered the rental apartment, the landlord was already waiting for him.

Wang Xuan had a pretty good relationship with his neighbors next door, and hearing that Wang Xuan was moving away, they were all very curious.

"Little Wang, where are you moving to?"

"Yeah, aren't you living here just fine? Why move away!"

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "I changed jobs, so I have to move to Huatianpan to live."

Upon hearing this, one of the brothers asked curiously, "Are you talking about the Huatianpan Residential District?"

Wang Xuan nodded.

"Holy shit, Little Wang, you aren't mistaken, are you? Huatianpan is a high-end residential district. I saw it online; the rent for a house inside starts at ten thousand a month. Can you afford to live there?"

"Yeah! I heard the villas in that district are even more expensive. That 'King of Buildings,' which is Villa No. 1, is said to be priced at nearly three hundred million!"

"Right, right, right, it's the most expensive one in Gangzhou!"

The two neighbors discussed it heatedly.

"Well, I don't know the exact price, but I am indeed moving in to live there, and it's a villa. Of course, it definitely doesn't cost money," Wang Xuan said calmly while packing his things.

"Doesn't cost money?" A strange look flashed across the two neighbors' expressions, and then they both thought of the answer. Seeing Wang Xuan's sturdy physique, the two neighbors suddenly understood.

"Holy shit, Little Wang, congratulations! You don't have to struggle for the rest of your life! I'm so envious of you!"

"Yeah! Little Wang, if you have other resources, introduce them to me too! Don't talk about someone being two hundred jin or having bad breath! Damn it, I wouldn't even be afraid of five hundred jin! I'm really terrified of being poor!"

The two neighbors discussed it heatedly.

"What are you talking about? How come I don't understand what you mean?" Wang Xuan stopped what he was doing and looked at the two of them with a strange expression.

"Hey, aren't you being kept by a rich woman?"

"Exactly, we're all poor people, what's there to be embarrassed about? Wang Xuan, if you have resources, you must introduce them to me!"

A bitter smile appeared on Wang Xuan's face.

"You guys are overthinking it; it's my own house."

At this, the expressions of the two neighbors nearby changed.

"Wang Xuan, why are you acting all high and mighty in front of us? What's the point of this?"

"Yeah! Who doesn't know you're just a food delivery guy? How much money could you have? Even if you delivered food for 100 years, without eating or drinking, you couldn't afford a house in there. You don't have to act like this, right? It's really boring! It's a waste that I used to treat you as a friend."

"Take a look."

Wang Xuan handed the property deed the lawyer gave him yesterday to the two of them.

"What the???"

"This... is this real??? And it's Villa No. 1???"

The two were filled with horror, their voices sharp with shock!

"God Xuan, keep this property deed safe. You have to look out for us in the future!"

"What 'God Xuan,' call him Grandpa Xuan. You have to take good care of us in the future!"

"Fine, just call me Wang Xuan. You both have my number. If you two have any difficulties in the future, you can call me! I will do my best to help you!"

Following that, Wang Xuan gave the air conditioner and refrigerator in the rental apartment to the two of them, and after getting back the deposit from the landlord, he began to head toward the Huatianpan Residential District.

At the entrance of the Huatianpan Residential District.

Just as Wang Xuan was about to get out of the car, one of the bodyguards behind him said in a low voice:

"Young Master, we discovered that from the time you left the company until now, someone has been following you along the way."

Originally, Wang Xuan was in a pretty good mood, after all, he was about to move into the villa he had dreamed of living in his whole life.

"Starry Sky, and you three, stay behind to protect the Young Master," the butler said with no expression on his face, as if he were used to such things.

Starry Sky was naturally the code name of that retired special forces soldier. This person had three scars on his arm and one on the top of his head; the healed wounds looked just like a white centipede crawling there.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xuan said calmly: "Guanjia, help me look into the backgrounds of Zhu Jun and Zheng Lin, and also today's Zhang Longtian. Investigate them thoroughly."

"Also, if you all follow me in such a grand procession, they might not make a move."

At this moment, the Guanjia looked at Wang Xuan with new eyes and said in a low voice: "Director Wang, what do you mean?"

"Which of you can protect me in secret?"

The few people looked at each other.

Starry Sky said in a hoarse voice: "I can."

"Are you confident?"

"I am. I've been in Xia Country for several years and haven't met an opponent yet."

"Good. After I get out of the car, I will go to Villa No. 1 as if nothing is wrong. I'll leave the security issues to you!"

The Guanjia's expression changed, "Director Wang, isn't this too risky?"

"The enemy is in the shadows. If we want them to take the initiative to attack, this is the only way."

"Fine," the butler nodded, then looked at Starry Sky and said:

"Starry Sky, I have followed the Old Master for a full ten years. Before the Old Master passed away, he entrusted you with the task of serving Wang Xuan for a lifetime. If Wang Xuan is in mortal danger this time, you know what you should do, right?"

Chapter 12: Atoning with Death

Starry Sky's gaze narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "I know, I will atone for my crimes with my death."

"Good."
