When he heard the name, Xiao Luo's head buzzed like thunder.
Chu Yunxiong was one of Rivertown's business tycoons. When he was young, he started from scratch. After 20 years of hard work, he founded Chongshan House. Now, half of the restaurants in Rivertown belonged to him. He also had branches in hundreds of cities all over the country. He was a real food and beverage empire.
Xiao Luo was surprised and confused. He didn't know when he had interacted with Chu Yunxiong.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Chu is waiting for you!" Ge Zhongtian said with a smile.
Following the direction Ge Zhongtian pointed, Xiao Luo suddenly saw a black Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.
Since he was here to bail him out, Xiao Luo had to give him face. Besides, he also wanted to know why Chu Yunxiong was helping him.
After bidding farewell to Ge Zhongtian, Xiao Luo walked towards the Rolls-Royce. When he looked at the back seat, he couldn't look away. He said in surprise, "It's you?"
This person was none other than the middle-aged man who sat not far from him for supper last night.
It was too dark last night, and there was some distance between them. Therefore, Xiao Luo didn't recognize the middle-aged man as Chu Yunxiong. He also didn't expect such a person of status to be eating at a roadside stall like him.
Chu Yunxiong was wearing a suit. He sat calmly in the black leather seat. Half of his hair was white, but he was full of energy. He smiled and said, "Young man, get in. Let's have a chat!"
His smile was warm and friendly. He naturally exuded the aura of a superior.
Xiao Luo thought for a while. He felt that this was an opportunity, so he opened the door and got in.
"Team Leader Gu, that seems to be the car of Chongshan House's boss, Chu Yunxiong."
On the second floor of the police station, Officer Xiao Wang looked at the Rolls-Royce through the window and said in shock, "Who on earth is Xiao Luo? Chu Yunxiong actually bailed him out?"
Gu Qianlin was also very surprised. One was a boss at the top of the social hierarchy, while the other was a worker at the bottom of the social hierarchy. The relationship between these two people was completely different. It was impossible for them to have any interaction. But what was going on now?
Obviously, she was like Xiao Luo last night and did not recognize Chu Yunxiong. Instead, she treated him as a passerby.
She was extremely interested in Xiao Luo. She swore to herself that if she had the chance, she would unravel all the mysteries surrounding Xiao Luo.
*****
About ten minutes later, the Rolls-Royce stopped at a cafe near the square. Walking past the huge fountain, Xiao Luo followed Chu Yunxiong into the coffee shop.
"Boss!"
The waiters and the manager of the coffee shop stood in two rows and respectfully welcomed Chu Yunxiong's arrival.
Xiao Luo guessed that the entire coffee shop had been booked. Or rather, it was a business under Chu Yunxiong's name.
The two of them went to a secluded corner on the second floor. A few large green plants blocked the surroundings, making it very quiet. Chu Yunxiong's two bodyguards, Leng Zuo and Leng You, were closely watching the surroundings.
"You've been at the police station all night. Are you hungry?" Chu Yunxiong asked with a smile.
"A little!" Xiao Luo replied.
Chu Yunxiong snapped his fingers and the waiters of the coffee shop lined up to bring food to the table. Bread, desserts, porridge, corn juice, steak … and so on. In a short while, the table was filled with delicious food.
Xiao Luo was not pretentious. He ate without holding back because he was indeed hungry.
Chu Yunxiong was quite impressed. "It's good to be young. You can eat whatever you want, unlike us old guys. Even though we're greedy, we can't just eat whatever we want. It's easy to have problems with our bodies."
As he spoke, he slowly picked up a cup of corn juice and took a sip.
"Mr. Chu, let's get straight to the point. I don't think Mr. Chu bailed me out just to treat me to breakfast," Xiao Luo said as he took a bite of bread and chewed.
"Hehe … good, you're straightforward enough!"
Chu Yunxiong found that Xiao Luo's style of doing things was very much to his liking. He waved his hand and Leng You walked over. He took out a contract from his arms and placed it in front of Xiao Luo.
"This is …?" Xiao Luo felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
"Last night, I saw you take care of the hooligans with my own eyes. Little Brother Xiao, not only are you brave, but your skills are also extraordinary. You single-handedly took care of more than 20 criminals armed with knives and sticks. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. For this, I would like to ask Little Brother Xiao to protect someone. The reward is two million yuan and the duration is three months."
Protecting a person for three months, and the reward is two million yuan?
No matter how strong Xiao Luo's mental fortitude was, he couldn't react in such a short time. He carefully read the contract. It was written clearly in black and white, proving that Chu Yunxiong wasn't lying to him.
"Protect who?"
"My daughter."
"Your daughter?"
Xiao Luo raised his head in surprise. "Mr. Chu, aren't you thinking too highly of me? You're so sure that you'll leave your daughter in the hands of someone you've known for less than a day?"
"If you use someone, don't doubt them. If you doubt them, don't use them. You were able to save a child you met by chance and had nothing to do with her. I recognize your character and ability." Chu Yunxiong slowly sipped his corn juice. He had done his research on Xiao Luo.
"If that's the case, why didn't you ask them to protect her?"
Xiao Luo pointed at Leng Zuo and Leng You. "As bodyguards, they have an advantage over me in every aspect, right?"
Chu Yunxiong put down his cup and shook his head. "No, it's precisely because they're bodyguards that they're not suitable at all."
Xiao Luo was puzzled. Bodyguards were meant to protect people. Why would Chu Yunxiong say that they were not suitable at all?
"The reason is because of my daughter, Chu Yue. She doesn't like bodyguards following her around. She'll think of all sorts of ways to chase them away. It's always been a headache for me." Chu Yunxiong sighed helplessly.
Xiao Luo nodded in understanding. She was born into a wealthy family and had been spoiled since childhood. It was normal for her to have a temper.
Instead, he asked, "Mr. Chu, where does your daughter work?"
"She's still a student. She's currently studying at Huaye University."
"A student?"
This was beyond Xiao Luo's expectations. However, he quickly calmed down. "Mr. Chu, are you saying that you want me to pretend to be a student and act as an invisible bodyguard by her side?"
"That's right. That's the only way she won't have any objections."
Xiao Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I have to remind Mr. Chu of a fact. I'm already twenty-six years old."
What he meant was that he had to pretend to be a student. That didn't seem very reasonable.
"Age isn't important. What's important is that you're still very young. When you walk around campus, no one will suspect that you're a student."
Chu Yunxiong smiled. "This is also the main reason why I chose you. Although my bodyguards are capable, to have them pretend to be students …"
He didn't say anything else. Instead, he shook his head. His meaning was self-evident.
Xiao Luo also expressed his understanding.
"If you agree, we'll sign the contract now. What do you think?" Chu Yunxiong was a straightforward person.
"I have one last question."
"Please speak."
"Why three months?" Xiao Luo asked.
