Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

Inside the private room,

Seeing that Deng Zhi was speaking to him with a serious expression, Xiao Zhan quickly said, "Brother Zhi, why are you being so polite with me? Just say what you have to say."

He couldn't help but recall what Deng Ying had told him before. He wondered to himself, "Would Deng Zhi really ask me for money to tide him over? If he does, how should I answer him?"

Xiao Zhan knew that Deng Zhi always did big business. If he really asked him for a loan to tide him over, it would definitely not be a small amount, and it would not be something that could be solved with a few small goals.

"Thud!"

Deng Zhi calmly lit a cigarette and said, "I'm going out in a few days. I wonder if you have time to come with me, brother."

Xiao Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't about borrowing money.

Still puzzled, he asked, "Brother Zhi, where are you going?"

"Let me check the schedule. You know I haven't been back long. I just took over the family business and many things are still being sorted out. I'm busy every day."

Actually, Xiao Zhan has other tasks in a couple of days and is worried about scheduling conflicts...

"Phew~~".

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Deng Zhi said unhurriedly, "This matter is urgent in some ways, but not in others. To be honest, it's not a matter of urgency. It just depends on when you have time, brother."

Xiao Zhan was completely bewildered and looked at Deng Zhi, asking, "Brother Zhi, what do you need me to do that you need to check if I have time? You're making no sense at all. Can you explain what it is? My IQ isn't up to par."

Deng Zhi looked at Xiao Zhan with his sharp, knife-like eyes and said, "I need to go to Syria and Afghanistan. There's been some trouble with business there, and I need you to come with me and protect me."

"Brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Zhan finally understood. It turned out that Deng Zhi wanted him to be his bodyguard and protect his personal safety...

So he asked with a serious expression, "Brother Zhi, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Deng Zhi sneered, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you have bodyguards with you? And they're all experts."

"Why do you want me to go?"

Deng Zhi raised an eyebrow and said, "You are a special forces king. I know you have been to these places and carried out secret missions. I feel more at ease with you following me."

Deng Zhi paused for a moment and then said, "Xiao Zhan, let me tell you the truth. I have invested in many industries in these countries, and many large families have shares in them. But now these investments are in trouble. If I don't handle it well, the pressure on me will be too great, and it will affect me. So I have to deal with these problems personally. You are my priority. You will be in charge of selecting all the security personnel, and you can decide their salaries."

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and said honestly, "Brother Zhi, I need to think about this and go back to discuss it with the old man."

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "Xiao Zhan, regardless of whether we can successfully complete the mission this time, I owe you a favor, and this favor is valid at any time. Except for my life, I can do anything else as long as I can. I can even give you half of the shares of the company I own. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"

Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard this.

According to his understanding, Deng Zhi controls at least forty or fifty listed companies with total assets of hundreds of billions.

In addition, Xiao Zhan also knew that many large companies had shares in Deng Zhi's company, but they could not reveal their wealth for various reasons.

Xiao Zhan: "Brother Zhi, you're being too polite. If I were to go with you, it wouldn't be for your money. Money is something you can't take with you when you die; it's just a number once you have too much. I'll go back and arrange the time."

Seeing that Xiao Zhan did not refuse, Deng Zhi was immediately delighted and said, "Let's have a good drink together tonight, brothers."

"I haven't had a drink in a long time."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "It's an honor to drink with Brother Zhi!"

at the same time,

Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying got out of the car and saw Deng Ying already standing at the entrance of the tea restaurant waiting for them.

Deng Ying stepped forward and said with a smile, "Huanhuan, I heard from Brother Zhan that you were coming to eat, so I came to welcome you."

Qin Huanhuan quickly said, "Sister Ying, you're too kind. Hua Ying, this is my newly recognized god-sister Deng Ying. You can also call her Sister Ying. Sister Ying, her name is Hua Ying. She's my classmate, roommate, best friend, and confidante."

Hua Ying stepped forward and greeted, "Hello, Sister Ying, I'm Hua Ying."

Deng Ying pulled Hua Ying aside and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, birds of a feather flock together! Huanhuan's best friend is also a great beauty. Are you two both campus beauties from Tsinghua or Peking University?"

Hua Ying pointed at Qin Huanhuan and said, "She's the school beauty, and I'm just a supporting character next to her. At best, I'm just a supporting character."

They say three women make a drama.

The three hit it off immediately and chattered on and on.

The three women stood at the door and exchanged a few words.

Suddenly, Qin Huanhuan asked, "Where is Xiao Zhan?"

Deng Ying: "He was talking to my brother in the private room."

Qin Huanhuan then realized and said, "Xiao Zhan just called and said that an older brother wants to see me."

"So he's Sister Ying's older brother."

Deng Ying smiled and said, "Yes, if we weren't acquaintances, Xiao Zhan wouldn't have called you over. Let's go in now; they've probably finished their conversation."

at the same time,

Yan Wenlong drove back to the underground parking lot of Pengrun Building alone. He had just parked his car and was about to get out.

Next second,

Yan Wenlong suddenly slumped onto the seat, simultaneously drawing his pistol from his waist and deftly pulling the bolt back with both hands.

"Snap!"

The bullet is loaded.

Yan Wenlong, holding a pistol, stared at the rearview mirror with his cold eyes, remaining seated in the driver's seat, ready to face any eventuality.

At that moment, two masked men silently approached his car. One of them was holding a baseball bat, and the other was holding a gleaming watermelon knife.

The masked man holding a baseball bat pointed at Yan Wencheng through the car window and shouted, "Get the hell out of the car! I'd rather die than lose my money. Don't resist. Hand over all your valuables. If you resist, I'll kill you and not bury you!"

Yan Wenlong, sitting in the driver's seat, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this old-fashioned slang.

He had just seen two masked men creeping towards his car in his rearview mirror and assumed he was being targeted by an enemy seeking revenge...

"Bang!"

Yan Wenlong suddenly pushed open the car door. The masked man standing next to the door never expected Yan Wenlong to do this and was knocked to the ground by the door. He cried out in pain, "Ouch! That hurts so much!"

"My brother took a knife and killed him, and damn it, he still dared to resist."

The masked man with the watermelon knife, seeing this, immediately became enraged and raised the knife to slash at Yan Wencheng, who was getting off the bus.

Next second,

The masked man froze on the spot, too afraid to move.

Because a dark gun barrel was pointed at his head.

In today's society, can someone who owns a gun be an ordinary person?

"thump!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the masked man knelt down in fear.

"when!"

The masked man threw the watermelon knife on the ground and kowtowed, pleading, "Big, big, big boss, we're so sorry, we brothers were blind and offended you. Please spare our lives, we had no choice but to do this."

This kid is pragmatic and perceptive; he knows that a knife is no match for a gun, and that fighting head-on is a dead end.

Yan Wenlong pointed his gun at another masked man who had just gotten up and shouted sternly, "Hands behind your head, kneel down."

"thump!"

The kid had just gotten up when he knelt down again.

Yan Wenlong asked, "Why did you attack me?"
