Age of Legends

Chapter 126 Guarding
Inside a private club called Huangxuan.

This private club is located in one of the earliest quaint townhouses in Chengdu, shaded by bamboo forests and surrounded by luxury cars. In the bamboo forest, elegantly decorated houses are scattered among them. In this era, a meal here starts at at least 3,000 yuan. It is impossible to accommodate ordinary people.

Liu Bingrong was meeting guests here. After seeing off the guest who made him bow down to him, a driver knocked on the door and entered the teahouse.

Zeng Changgui, the driver and secretary, is Liu Bingrong's right-hand man. He was brought over when he was transferred to the position of executive manager, and he had been with him for many years in his previous unit.

Liu Bingrong was still immersed in the bright future outlined for him by the big shot he had just met. Thinking of some proud things, he couldn't help but smile. Following the path given to him by the other party, in a few years, Liu Bingrong would most likely follow this path, using Rongcheng TV Station as a springboard, enter the Radio, Film and Television Group, and finally transition to a position as deputy mayor.

Under the enemy's command, this road can be described as a smooth one.

One can imagine what the prospects will be like.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bingrong saw that Zeng Changgui was hesitant to speak, so he stopped thinking, picked up the tea and frowned.

Zeng Changgui stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Liu Bingrong's face gradually became ugly.

"Zeng Changgui, how many years have you been with me? The first four years, even when I was transferred to the TV station, you have been with me for almost four years, a total of eight years, you have been by my side for eight years... How the hell could you make such a mistake!?"

Liu Bingrong slammed the table.

Zeng Changgui was silent as a cicada.

"When did it fall? Why did it disappear?"

Zeng Changgui said, "I asked someone to send the first batch up first. I was checking the list when something went wrong with the second batch. A screen fell to the ground. I wanted to make sure nothing went wrong with the LED screen worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, so I followed them. The information and other materials were placed on top of the goods in the warehouse. I went down to discuss compensation with the deliveryman. When I came back up, I found that the list was gone..."

"Who will take this list in the studio?" Liu Bingrong asked.

"I don't know either. I just remember that there were not many people on the floor at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have been so careless..."

"Check the surveillance!" Liu Bingrong said.

Zeng Changgui hesitated and said, "Isn't the surveillance camera at the warehouse broken?"

Liu Bingrong reacted and realized that he had instructed to tinker with the surveillance there just in case. After all, many periods of time when the goods are put into the warehouse cannot be seen in public and cannot be checked in detail.

"But when I first realized he was missing, I looked around and saw a figure that looked a bit like... Chen Xuran?"

"Chen Xuran, are you sure?"

"I'm not too sure..."

Liu Bingrong frowned, "Okay, I understand."

He put down the teacup he was holding and placed it on the table next to him, with a "clang" sound as the tea lid and the porcelain bowl collided.

……

The phone rang and Chen Xuran picked up it. The voice coming from the phone made her feel at ease in the middle of the night.

"Xuran... I heard from Wang Shuowei that they met you today... How have you been recently?"

"Teacher Wang... Yes, I met Wang Shuowei. He had something to do outside today. Are you back from your business trip?"

"I've been back for a few days... You haven't come here much recently. Is there something wrong? Do you need my help..." Wang Bowen held the phone and was a little hesitant to make this call. In this matter with Chen Xuran, he was the passive party. Usually when Chen Xuran came over, he couldn't push him away, but he never took the initiative to contact Chen Xuran.

Sometimes Chen Xuran had such conversations with him.

"Teacher Wang, don't you miss me? Why don't you call me?" "Oh, well, I was worried that you were busy over there. Ha, ha ha..."

"Teacher Wang, if I come here often, will it cause you any trouble?" "What are you talking about? I just don't cause you any trouble."

"Teacher Wang, can I call you something else? This one seems strange!" "Just call me Teacher Wang. Whether it's strange or not is up to you. Why bother about what to call you."

Wang Bowen knows his own business. As a middle-aged man taking care of a child, he should not delay the bright future of Chen Xuran, the beautiful and top host.

But recently Chen Xuran has been coming less often, and the two have been in less contact. But now Wang Bowen feels that his career has a direction and is getting better and better, so he has begun to change his previous mentality, but he found that Chen Xuran seemed to be retreating.

But this phone call seemed to make Chen Xuran feel infinitely relieved.

He asked if I needed help...

But in fact, who could have known that after getting the list of evidence, Chen Xuran couldn't sleep for the past few days. He felt in the depths of the darkness of the night, as if there were eyes from the abyss staring at him. How scared he must have been.

At this time, Wang Bowen finally took the initiative to call her and asked about her well-being. Chen Xuran's heart was filled with warmth.

She felt that all these years of waiting and hard work seemed to have given her motivation and direction again, and she whispered into the microphone, "Wang...Old Wang."

Wang Bowen tightened his grip on the phone, but did not correct her or refute her. He just listened to her.

"Lao Wang, thank you... I haven't had any major problems recently, maybe I'm just a little stressed. Your career will be successful, and we will celebrate together. After this period, I will come and make delicious food for you, okay?"

"Xuran, are you really okay? If there is anything, you must tell me. I am worthy of your trust."

"No... Lao Wang. You can be silly sometimes... Don't worry, Lao Wang, I will come to see you guys after this period is over. Don't work too hard, and don't scold Wang Shuowei often, he is very well behaved now."

"Okay. Then I'll buy some dumpling wrappers in a few days, make the dumpling stuffing myself, and ask you to come over to eat. You like dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage the best."

"Old Wang."

"Hey."

"It's great that you remember all this."

"Ha ha……"

"I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed early too, good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuran looked at the dark night sky, and seemed to have more courage and was not so scared anymore.

Old Wang... Wang Bowen, looks like an adult, but his temperament is like that of a boy who has not grown up.

His career is on the rise now, so there is no need to let him know about this matter. It will be useless even if he knows. He discovered me, and I have worked as a handyman, a reporter, and a field agent. He brought me up step by step. Therefore, I am now capable of helping him eliminate the bad guys.

In the past, you protected me, but now... I, Chen Xuran, will protect you.
