bodyguard against fate

Chapter 50 A Woman's Heart

"I went to see her, and she admitted it," He Xiuli said with a sigh.

"I told you long ago that Wu Renxing is a scoundrel. Xiuli, you should have listened to your father and never married him." He Yong only found out that Wu Renxing was having an affair and was so angry that he regretted it, but it was too late to say anything now.

"But Mr. He, surely Mr. Wu wouldn't go so far as to kill you?" Feng Weida voiced his doubts. "Besides, if he wanted to kill you, why would he hire me as his bodyguard? Wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?"

He Xiuli hadn't understood this problem before, but after learning that Feng Weida was mentally ill, she instantly understood.

"Wu Renxing is using you, and may even be trying to frame you."

He Xiuli was only deceived by Wu Renxing before, but once the truth is revealed, Wu Renxing's intentions will be completely exposed to her.

"You mean, Mr. Wu wanted to kill you and then frame me?"

That's why I asked you, what else do you know?

Now it was Feng Weida's turn to have his worldview shattered. "How could President Wu lay a hand on his own wife... President He, are you mistaken?"

Feng Weida's expression didn't seem like an act. If he were guilty, he would be eager to clear his name first, but he was still speaking up for Wu Renxing.

He Xiuli remained silent, looking into Feng Weida's eyes, hoping he wasn't hiding anything from her.

"I really didn't know. Mr. Wu kept telling me to protect you. I don't have any other skills. He pays me such a high salary, so I can only repay him with my life..."

He Xiuli was somewhat disappointed. It turned out that Feng Weida had risked his life to protect her and take the knife for her all because of the high salary Wu Renxing offered! She had originally thought Feng Weida was doing this for her—indeed, men are not worth entrusting your life to!

"So you saved me these times because of Wu Renxing?" He Xiuli still held onto a sliver of hope.

"I failed to protect you, I'm sorry, Mr. Wu... How could Mr. Wu be the murderer?" Feng Weida was completely immersed in his own emotions and did not understand He Xiuli's meaning at all.

This answer shattered He Xiuli's last hope.

"Xiao Feng, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I might not be here anymore. I'll have Wu Meng give you a bonus of 500,000 yuan, and your hospital expenses will all be reimbursed by the company. This amount of money is nothing compared to what you've done, so please don't think it's too little—"

Feng Weida was stunned.

Five hundred thousand! I've never even dreamed of seeing so much money. If I could earn that much money by getting stabbed, I'd be willing to get stabbed every day!

What he didn't know was that the three hitmen risked killing, and combined they didn't earn as much as he did by himself!

"Mr. He, I can't accept this money. It's what I should do."

"Take this money. I might not need bodyguards anymore, so consider it a... settlement allowance for you. Don't make a mistake this time; marry a wife you can settle down with."

He Xiuli made this decision suddenly, which surprised even He Yong.

He Xiuli's attitude did not surprise Feng Weida. He had thought before he came that if the mental hospital incident were exposed, he might lose his job, but he still said the same thing.

"Mr. He, I can't accept the bonus; my salary is enough. Thank you for your continued trust and support!"

Feng Weida bowed to He Xiuli and then turned to leave.

"It's good that you quit. Don't worry, Xiuli, Dad will hire someone better for you!" He Yong said, watching Feng Weida's retreating figure.

Turning his head, He Yong saw that He Xiuli's eyes were red.

"beautiful……"

"Dad, I want to sleep for a while."

He Yong noticed that his daughter seemed to be acting a little strange towards Feng Weida.

"No way?" He Yong muttered to himself, left the ward, and closed the door.

He Xiuli and Wu Meng have a special relationship. Even though she was about to divorce Wu Renxing, He Xiuli still trusted Wu Meng and dared to entrust her with the company's financial power because she knew that Wu Meng was a principled person when it came to important matters. She would never collude with Wu Renxing, even if it was her own brother.

When Wu Meng heard that 500,000 yuan had been transferred to Feng Weida's salary card, she was almost dumbfounded. Had her sister-in-law gone mad, or had she been kidnapped by Feng Weida? Or maybe Feng Weida had some kind of leverage over her. Even if Feng Weida had taken a few blows for her sister-in-law, it wouldn't be worth so much, would it?

But since He Xiuli had said so, she had no choice but to comply. With 500,000 yuan, Feng Weida would be considered a wealthy old man in Leping Town. Don't be fooled by how many people run companies and businesses; if you asked them to come up with 500,000 yuan in cash all at once, probably very few could. Before, he was Little Feng; now he'd be General Manager Feng. Now he could start thinking about where his son would go to elementary school…

As Wu Meng left the bank, she was about to hail a taxi when suddenly a Mercedes pulled up right in front of her. The window rolled down, and a familiar face came into view.

"Hi, Mengmeng—"

Chen Ergou!

Wu Meng couldn't believe it. Chen Ergou had vanished for over ten days and suddenly reappeared as a nouveau riche. Had he gone to rob a bank? How come everyone around her had become rich lately, while God had overlooked her?

No, it must be the wish I made at Lingfeng Temple that came true!

On the day she went to invite Guanyin, Wu Meng burned incense and wished, "that all rich people would come and pursue me." Now, all the poor people who pursued her have become rich, which seems quite different from the rich people she imagined.

Wu Meng dared not imagine what would have happened if her wish had been "to have a prince on a white horse come and chase me," and instead, Tang Sanzang had appeared? After all, in a way, Tang Sanzang was also a prince, and the White Dragon Horse was like a sunny rainbow!

If you don't give the deity the correct prompts, he'll really give you anything!

That day at Feng Weida's house, Chen Ergou actually found the iron box under the bed. However, he was suspicious. There were nine gold bars in the box, all neatly arranged. Why would only one be under the window? Chen Ergou remembered that when he came back after going out that day, he found the gold bar and the window seemed to have moved slightly. He immediately realized that someone was after this box of gold bars!

Without a word, he quietly put the nine gold bars into a trash bag, then put the round-headed dumbbells back into the metal box. He moved the bed back untouched, then pretended nothing had happened and left with the trash bag. When Lao Zheng and Wu Renxing went in to look for the gold bars later, neither of them realized that the gold bars were gone. They all assumed that the other party had taken them and were completely unaware of the existence of Chen Ergou, the sixth brother.

Chen Ergou, feeling guilty, guessed that the gold bars probably didn't belong to Feng Weida. Feng Weida and he were very close, so if Feng Weida knew about the gold bars, he definitely wouldn't be able to fool him. However, the owner would definitely ask Feng Weida about the whereabouts of the gold bars. Since he was the only one with a key to Feng Weida's house, it would be hard not to be suspected. So, he decided to simply disappear without a trace and not even go back to live in the basement.
