Chapter 18: Borrowing Momentum

  Lan saw a flash of focus in Bai Jingchu's eyes and understood her admiration for Yi Jun. She felt slightly amused but still said seriously, "Mm, my brother Yi Jun."

  Didn't say "friends", just said "brothers", even more ambiguous.

  Yi Jun also stretched out his hand with a big smile, but considering that the other party's people were knocked unconscious in large numbers, it was not good to show a smile, so he could only say in a relatively serious tone: "I'm Yi Jun, nice to meet Miss Bai."

  "Hello." Bai Jingchu stretched out a jade-like hand, and Yi Jun lightly shook it. Yi Jun only lightly grasped the other's four slender fingers, slightly nodding his head. But Bai Jingchu could feel that this man's hand was rugged and extremely powerful, even if it was just a light grasp.

  However, women like Lan Jie or Bai Jingchu, although they can recognize heroes with their wise eyes, have also passed the age of being a young and naive girl like Tang Qingqing. They know when to be unrestrained and when to be reserved. She nodded lightly at Yi Jun and suddenly asked: "Do you understand martial arts?"

  Yi Jun shook his head: "Martial arts are profound and complex, I dare not say I understand, I only know a bit of the surface, and have practiced a little of the Three-legged Cat's Flower Brush Style."

  Another vague and ambiguous answer, Tang Qingqing's curiosity was getting more and more serious, she really wanted to throw this guy into the lab and dissect him.

  But anyway, this guy at least admitted that he still has some skills, at least - "practiced a little of the three-legged cat's flower-like move".

  Then, Yi Jun briefly told the story and also talked about his past conflicts with Gao Wei. Coincidentally, whether it was Yi Jun, Lan Jie or Tang Qingqing, they all had a grudge against this scoundrel. As for these past conflicts, Yi Jun did not intentionally conceal them, but instead sought truth from facts. So in the end, Yi Jun couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "Actually, Gao Wei invited an expert to deal with us few people, but it was Dong Hu and others who suffered instead, really can't let go."

  He spoke so actively, but instead seemed magnanimous and didn't shirk. Bai Jingchu shook that beautiful finger and said: "Can't say that, we are a bodyguard company. Since we eat the bodyguard's rice, protecting the employer's safety is our duty."

  Bai Jing was also very dignified when doing things, and she could pick up and put down with ease.

  "But," Bai Jingchu sneered, "since they dared to lay such a heavy hand on me and the company's bodyguards, they should also pay some interest. Let's go, take them away quietly."

  The so-called "Tiger Boy" is Dong Hu. Although Dong Hu is loud and boastful outside, his boss still calls him by his nickname.

  On the hospital bed, Dong Hu and others were receiving treatment. The four bald men were all knocked unconscious by a single blow, but the problem was not very serious - relatively speaking. However, Dong Hu and Xing Wuwei had been fighting for a long time, and this guy originally had strong resistance to blows, so the longer they fought, the more seriously injured he became, with two broken ribs. Especially when he hit Xing Wuwei's eggs that time, Xing Wuwei's counterattack was also quite heavy. According to the doctor's initial diagnosis, it is possible that there may be a relatively severe concussion, and whether or not there will be sequelae cannot be said yet.

  The ace bodyguard of Zheng He Bao Diao Company, Dong Hu, who once single-handedly fought against the "Tao Cheng San Lang", was actually beaten into a broken rib and concussion. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid that Zheng He Bao Diao Company's recruitment will be greatly discredited.

  Bai Jingchu's face didn't look good, but he was also worried about the strength of that expert (Xing Wuwei). If the opponent launched a desperate counterattack, it was likely that his bodyguard company would have more trouble. At least, even Dong Hu wasn't Xing Wuwei's match, who else could withstand such a fierce person?

  Yi Jun naturally guessed Bai Jingchu's concerns, so he said: "That master did say something, but it was just a favor for someone else, not specifically targeting Dong Hu and the others. Moreover, that person's demeanor is unusual, not like a petty person who bears grudges. In the end, he made his move because of Gao Wei's instructions."

  "Your meaning is......" Bai Jing estimated for a moment and said, "If it's only aimed at Gao Wei, then that expert won't risk his life for Gao Wei again?"

  "It wasn't about selling out in the first place. That master said he didn't take money and never accepted any business, purely helping out," Yi Jun said. "In fact, that person also looked down on Gao Wei's methods. Although he knew Gao Wei was going to make a move on Qingqing, he still took a step back and let Qingqing leave Jiangning. A person like that has integrity, after missing the first strike, considering his own identity, he won't take action again."

  In short, Yi Jun just wanted to thoroughly dispel Bai Jingchu's worries. Only then would Bai Jingchu dare to take down Gao Wei. Lan Jie and Tang Qingqing both thought that Yi Jun was a bit too cunning.

  Moreover, the words narrated by Yi Jun are true and naturally credible. At that time, when Xing Wuwei said these things, Dong Hu had not launched his final blow and was still awake, so he heard everything. Later on, after Dong Hu woke up, Bai Jingchu could confirm it with just one question.

  After hearing this, Bai Jingchu basically felt at ease. In fact, with the entire bodyguard company's strength, going all out to deal with an Xing Wuwei might still be able to suppress him, but the opponent's counterattack would probably also make them suffer heavy losses. Now that they didn't need to consider Xing Wuwei as a factor and only needed to go all out against Gao Wei, things became simpler.

  Besides, all the troubles in the world have a beginning and an end. Although Xing Wuwei was the one who took direct action, the real culprit is Gao Wei. Just like when hundreds of people are fighting, you can't take revenge on every single one of them. Catching the main person responsible is enough to settle the score. So, as long as Gao Wei is taken down, this vendetta will be considered avenged, and the face of Zheng and Baoguard Company will also be restored.

  But Yi Jun still "kindly" added a sentence: "However, this Gao Wei is not someone to be trifled with. I heard from others that his godfather is a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, surnamed Zhang."

  However, Yi Jun believed that Bai Jingchu would not be intimidated by this background. Because Lian Jie had said before that Bai Jingchu's background in the municipal government was higher than that of the Public Security Bureau by a whole level.

  As expected, Bai Jingchu sneered: "Zhang Ziqiang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau? Even his son - or whatever adopted son he is - dares to bully me?"

  If it were Zhang Ziqiang's personal business, perhaps Bai Jingchu would have to weigh the pros and cons carefully, after all, the bodyguard company often comes into contact with all sorts of shady dealings. But if it was just Zhang Ziqiang's godson, then that's a different story altogether. Nowadays, it's a society where even sons can cheat their own fathers, let alone a godfather? Of course, as a godfather, Zhang Ziqiang wouldn't be foolish enough to clash with the city government's backing for the sake of a godson, it would be a loss.

  Seeing Bai Jingchu's lightly clenched teeth, Yi Jun and Lan Jie both knew: this calamity had finally been brought to Gao Wei's head.

  ……

  When leaving the hospital, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning. In the car, Lian Jie had some concerns and sighed, saying: "Jun Er, are we taking advantage of Xiao Chu a bit by doing this?"

  Yi Jun shook his head: "Sister, we don't have the ability to do it ourselves, so we need to borrow power. One person can only hammer a few nails, and only by borrowing power can things be accomplished. To accomplish small things, you need to borrow other people's power; to accomplish big things, you need to borrow the power of the world. How much capital do you and I have in our hands that would allow us to squander it? Don't think I'm heartless, actually if the opponent wasn't a scoundrel like Gao Wei, I wouldn't be willing to scheme and plot. The key is that this thing is too disgusting, and if you can't get rid of it, it will forever bring calamity upon you."

  "Sister didn't say you're heartless," said Lian Jie. Before, Lian Jie only knew he was a demobilized soldier who raised pigs and occasionally gave him advice on how to get by in society. But now it seems that at critical moments, this guy is far more ruthless and cunning than her own methods. "You can't understand people like me."

  Tang Qingqing, who was already dozing off in the back row, seemed to have vaguely heard the conversation between the two. Without even opening her eyes, she murmured as if talking in her sleep: "Jun Ge isn't black, that old guy is the one who's black..."

  Old fellow?

  Yi Jun and Lan Jie were taken aback, exchanging a glance before turning to look at the wild little beauty. But by this time, she had lost all her wild aura and was curled up in the back row, sleeping soundly like a teddy bear, looking adorable and endearing.
