Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 168
Chapter 168 Someone from the Zhang Clan Came Again
Facing Jiang Feng’s question, Elder Jun suddenly fell silent.
As a politician, he is undoubtedly very talkative. If an ordinary person were to ask this question, Elder Jun would probably be able to answer it like a spring breeze and rain, paradoxically.
However, it was Jiang Feng who had asked this question, and it was a very direct and sincere question.
Elder Jun thought for a moment before nodding his head with extreme caution.
‘”The Qishi Manor can be said to have such a function. It is similar to you, and possesses abilities that ordinary people do not possess. If you are good at using these abilities, I’m afraid the entire world will be affected by you. After all, most of this world is made up of ordinary people, so …”
Jiang Feng nodded. He understood what Elder Jun meant, but he was not willing to accept it.
Elder Jun said, “After all, most of this world is made up of ordinary people.” This was not a casual remark, but a hint.
It was suggested that Jiang Feng, a genius like him, did not belong to the “majority” of people.
In other words, he could be considered a “different type” from the other Adept Adepts.
Man is a social animal. He struggles all his life in order to get other people’s recognition. But now, other people treat you as an “oddity”. Even if you are as open-minded as Jiang Feng, it is still hard to accept in your heart.
He thought for a moment and asked Elder Jun, “What would happen if he didn’t join this Qishi Manor?”
Elder Jun shook his head, “Nothing much. Actually, the country is just worried that you will use your abilities that surpass mortals to do something that endangers the lives and property of the country and the people. If you don’t join the Qishi Manor, there may be people from the national security in China who will monitor you to keep track of your whereabouts.”
“Then what rights and obligations will you have after joining?” Jiang Feng asked.
If you choose to accept a mission issued by the Qishi Manor, you can get an extra reward or exchange for something you need. If you don’t accept a mission from the Qishi Manor, it won’t matter. Anyway, you just have to admit that you are a member of the Qishi Manor.
Jiang Feng felt better after hearing Elder Jun’s explanation.
It seemed that the country was actually unwilling to bind people like them too much. It was only to prevent any control department from running out of them, that was why it had set up such a Qishi Prefecture.
Jiang Feng nodded and said, “Alright, since Elder Jun has personally appeared, I promise Elder Jun to join the Qishi Manor.”
Hearing that, Elder Jun smiled and shook his head, “Xiao Jiang, do you think I need to personally come and talk to you about this matter just because I invited you to join the Qishi Manor?”
“Ah?” Jiang Feng was dumbfounded.
He instantly understood that Elder Jun definitely had other intentions.
That’s right, Elder Jun didn’t need to come out personally just to join a Qishi Manor. It was impossible for the Qishi Manor to have no one to do this.
“Then Elder Jun, you came to me for …”
“There are four subdivisions under the Qishi Manor. They are called ‘Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow’. Three months ago, the head of the Profound Division strangely died. The cause of his death has not been found out yet. I hope that you can join the Qishi Manor Profound Division and participate in the battle for the position of head in two months’ time, so that you can lead the Profound Division.”
“Power struggle.” Jiang Feng thought.
Jiang Feng understood that Elder Jun would come up with this idea because he thought that he had a good relationship with Yurou. And Yurou’s grandfather was the reason why he had been a confidant for so many years.
Warlocks who were truly capable in this era were not easy to find. Those who had the ability to walk in the human world and were worthy of their trust were even more rare.
To Elder Jun, Jiang Feng was one of them.
There was no need for Elder Jun to say anything else. For this reason, anyone with a bit of experience in the city would be able to guess one or two things.
It was none other than the mystery of the death of the Profound Division Chief. The higher-ups in China suspected that someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to control the Qishi Manor, but they did not have any evidence, so they wanted to arrange for someone of their own to enter as spies and containment.
Obviously, the current Qishi Manor was definitely a muddy water. Otherwise, there was no need for Elder Jun to personally invite him.
From Jiang Feng’s heart, he didn’t want to get mixed up in this muddy water. However, Elder Jun’s face was not good if he didn’t give it to him.
Therefore, Jiang Feng said tactfully, “Elder Jun, I’m too talented and shallow to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.”
“I believe you can do it. Even if you really don’t, as long as you do your best, I won’t blame you.”
Holy shit! Officials are officials, or how can someone say the word “official”?
Originally, Jiang Feng had said that he was afraid that he would not be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, which was a tactful way of avoiding it. However, he didn’t expect Elder Jun to directly hit the snake with the stick, instantly changing the meaning to “I have already agreed, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do it well.”
If this concept was secretly changed, then it would truly be considered to be a perfection that reached the peak of perfection.
Jiang Feng had no reason to refuse.
Since that was the case, he didn’t have to grind his chatter any longer. Jiang Feng nodded his head and said, “Alright then, I’ll go and give it a try at that time. Whether I succeed or fail, I’ll definitely do my best.”
“Thank you.” Elder Jun said.
Jiang Feng suddenly felt that his shoulders were a little wet. He turned around and found that Yu Bihan had fallen asleep peacefully on his shoulders. The saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth and wet the shoulders of his clothes.
Looking at Yu Bihan’s appearance, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
Actually, when she thought about it occasionally, this was undoubtedly the best choice for her right now.
She was unconscious because she was stimulated by pain, and the end point of her memories had always been at the most painful position. If she regained her memories as soon as she woke up, she would probably continue to suffer.
Isn’t it good to be so innocent and happy like this?
Very quickly, Elder Jun’s car arrived at the entrance of the Zhou Clan.
Jiang Feng couldn’t bear to wake Yu Bihan who was already asleep, so he directly carried her out of Elder Jun’s car.
Elder Jun didn’t get off the car. He sat in the car and waved his hand at Jiang Feng. “Follow Girl Yurou and the others out for dinner first. I still have some matters to attend to. The one eating is another day, right?” He waved his hand at Jiang Feng.
“I knew you would be like this.” Jiang Feng did not show any courtesy towards Elder Jun and rolled his eyes at him.
Elder Jun smiled helplessly and got out of the carriage again.
“Alright, alright. No matter what, I’ll push it. I’ll accompany you to happily finish this dusty banquet specially hosted for you.”
“Huh?” Jiang Feng was greatly surprised.
Although he had never contacted Elder Jun before, Jiang Feng could guess that someone like Elder Jun would definitely not change the things he had already decided.
The so-called “Jun Wu Jiu Yan, one word, nine cauldrons” was definitely not a joke to the upper echelons, but a basic quality.
But for Jiang Feng’s sake, Elder Jun had actually changed his decision. This made Jiang Feng feel flattered.
Jiang Feng was about to persuade Elder Jun to do whatever he wanted without caring about himself.
However, Elder Jun had already left the carriage and headed straight for the villa of the Zhou Family.
Jiang Feng then carried Yu Bihan and chased after him. Immediately after, Yu Rou and Sima Chunfeng also arrived at the Zhou Clan.
At the entrance of the villa, Aunt Shen and Han Chuxue were waiting at the entrance.
Seeing Yu Bihan in Jiang Feng’s arms, Aunt Shen hurriedly greeted him, “Bihan? What happened to Bihan? Did anything happen to her?”
“It’s okay, Aunt Shen. Auntie, she’s just asleep.”
After Jiang Feng explained, Aunt Shen heaved a sigh of relief.
Han Chuxue walked to Jiang Feng’s side and whispered to him, “Hurry up and take a look. A man has been chatting with Xiao Yun for a long time. According to him, he is the butler who has followed Lan Xiaoyun’s father for many years.”
“People from the Zhang Clan.” Jiang Feng quickly handed Yu Bihan to Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen easily hugged Yu Bihan.
First, it was because of Yu Bihan’s lightness, and secondly …
Although Jiang Feng did not know how skilled Aunt Shen was, he did not dare to underestimate Aunt Shen in the slightest.
The reason for that was because from the moment she saw Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen had always lifted her hind legs and only used her front foot to walk.
This was a method of training legs and movement techniques. Ordinary people couldn’t endure it at all. Only those who cultivated both inside and outside could use this method to train themselves year after year, in order to reach the realm of legs shocking and body like a light swallow.
After Jiang Feng approached the Zhou Family villa, his gaze swept across the hall of the villa.
Finally, in the deputy hall of the Zhou Family villa, Jiang Feng saw Lan Xiaoyun and a middle-aged man sitting opposite Lan Xiaoyun.
The man was dressed in a navy green robe. He did not look tall and his stomach was round. However, when he got closer and saw this person’s appearance, Jiang Feng put down most of his guard.
The Heavenly Court was vast, and Ford protruded out. The pavilion was flat, and his eyes were straight. This was a typical expression of loyalty. People with such looks, even if they were bad, were limited.
Jiang Feng walked to Lan Xiaoyun’s side. The middle-aged man immediately looked at Jiang Feng and frowned slightly.
Lan Xiaoyun quickly stood up and shouted, “Big Brother Jiang.”
“Big Brother Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Yan Ju. He came on behalf of Zhang … that person.”
The “person” that Lan Xiaoyun spoke of was naturally her father, Zhang Pengyun. However, she did not dare to call him “Dad” without Mother Lan’s permission.
Lan Xiaoyun then said to Yan Ju, “Uncle Yan, this is Jiang Feng, my … my big brother. Other than my mother, he is the best person to me.”
Lan Xiaoyun’s two “best” had basically made Yan Ju clear what kind of status Jiang Feng held in Lan Xiaoyun’s heart.
Yan Ju nodded to Jiang Feng and said, “Hello, since you are a good friend of our eldest young miss, please advise eldest young miss to go and see master. His health is deteriorating and he is probably going to die soon.”
Jiang Feng nodded and asked Lan Xiaoyun, “How is it, Xiaoyun? Do you want to go take a look?”
Lan Xiaoyun looked at Jiang Feng and blinked his eyes. Finally, he nodded and said, “Yes, I want to take a look.”
Jiang Feng nodded, “Alright, as long as you want to go, I will accompany you.”
