bodyguard against fate

Chapter 20 Werewolf

"It's Grandpa! So what? Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Zhang Hao clearly didn't understand what was going on and was only focused on his own verbal sparring.

"I've finally caught you! Come with me to the police station!" Feng Weida shouted angrily.

"What's going on?" Wu Renxing and He Xiuli also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"Mr. Wu, he was the one who tried to strangle Mr. He just now," Feng Weida said.

"What? Are you sure it was him?" Wu Renxing was shocked. He never expected that someone would take the blame for something like this.

"That's right, look, he bit me again. He just said he was going to kill President He!" Feng Weida showed his hand, which had been bitten twice.

Even Zhang Hao, who was usually quite dense, understood what all this was all about.

"What Mr. He? I don't know anything about him. Don't wrong an innocent person!"

"Are you a good person?"

Sometimes, a fight is all about momentum. This was the first time Feng Weida truly understood this. No wonder they say in ancient times, a just cause was essential for fighting. The first time, Feng Weida not only lacked a just cause but also felt guilty, causing his fighting power to plummet and making him only want to run away. This time, however, he occupied the moral high ground and beat Zhang Hao mercilessly, his fighting power doubling. "You're a good person, yet you hit a woman and don't even acknowledge your own child?"

After some explanation, Wu Renxing understood.

He Xiuli had recovered a bit by then: "Young man, I have no grudge against you, why do you want my life? You went too far!"

Zhang Hao was puzzled: "I know who you are! I'm going to kill you! Trying to play dirty tricks, huh? I'm not afraid of you, I have connections in the police!"

Wu Renxing understood that it would be difficult to explain He Xiuli's being choked without someone taking the blame. Zhang Hao was a lifesaver; fearing that Zhang Hao might reveal too much, he quickly smoothed things over.

"Xiao Feng, take Mr. He to see a doctor first. Leave this man to me; I'll take him to the police station later!"

"Mr. Wu, be careful!" Feng Weida warned him, "He knows how to use a chokehold!"

"Go on, go on—" Wu Renxing waved his hand impatiently.

Feng Weida completely forgot about He Yong after leaving. He Yong was left helpless in the bathroom, crying out for help in vain. By the time Feng Weida remembered him, He Yong's legs were numb from squatting and he couldn't even stand up.

He Xiuli is mostly fine, just a little stiff in her neck.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and only the father and daughter remained in the room.

"This is murder! It's aimed at taking your life!" He Yong said.

He Xiuli felt a sense of lingering fear. If Feng Weida hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Could it really be as Wu Renxing said, that someone had been following her from the very beginning?

"Why would he want to kill me? We've only just met!" He Xiuli asked, puzzled. In all her years in business, she had never encountered anything like this.

"Silly child, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface—where is Wu Renxing?" He Yong asked.

"He took that person to the police station."

"You can't completely trust Wu Renxing; you have to be careful." He Yong was experienced after all, and he knew Wu Renxing's true colors very well.

He Xiuli didn't not want to listen to her father, but if a person can't even trust the person next to them in bed, how agonizing must their life be? There has to be a reason, right?

"Dad, I know you have a prejudice against Renxing, but you wouldn't suspect him of ordering my murder, would you?"

He Yong had considered this question before: "How has he been behaving lately?"

"You actually doubt him?" He Xiuli said, dissatisfied.

"You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them. What did I teach you before?"

"Renxing has been working very hard lately and has even closed several deals with clients. I think he's just a late bloomer, a late bloomer!"

"Hmph, those who achieve success late in life are not necessarily destined for greatness; they might just be a menace. Let's hear what he has to say when he gets back."

Wu Renxing returned, bringing Zhang Hao with him.

Zhang Hao knelt down in front of He Xiu with a thud, crying and begging for mercy. He said he was wrong; he only wanted to scare He Xiuli and didn't intend to kill her. He said if the police were called, not only would he be finished, but his child, who wasn't even born yet, would be left without anyone to take care of Xiaoyu, and his whole family would be destroyed. He begged He Xiuli to be lenient and let him go.

Wu Renxing said that Zhang Hao begged him on the way, and he softened and brought him back to He Xiuli to be dealt with.

He Yong clearly didn't believe it; anyone could make up such a lie, it would only fool a ghost. But He Xiuli believed it nonetheless. Xiao Yu also arrived, crying her eyes out. Looking at Xiao Yu's slightly protruding belly, He Xiuli broke down. This was a new life. How much good karma must one accumulate in this life to become a parent? If the child is born without a father, it's just too pitiful!

There was a reason for what happened tonight, and it's no wonder Zhang Hao was so emotional. The most important thing is that He Xiuli is a Buddhist. The greatest benefit of Buddhism is that it encourages people to do good, to be kind to others, and to be kind to themselves. Even if you can't do a good deed every day, you should at least be forgiving when you encounter problems. Just consider it as accumulating merit for yourself and try to move Guanyin to grant you a son or daughter.

"Mr. He, we can't trust him. I think it's better to call the police. This is attempted murder, which is punishable by imprisonment!"

Just as He Xiuli was about to forgive Zhang Hao, Feng Weida suddenly blurted out something.

Wu Renxing was furious! Why did they have to bring up such a sore subject? If the police were to call the police and find the rope at the scene, as well as his previous act of burning the white coat, it would be difficult for him to leave no trace of his actions, making it hard for him to clear his name.

"Xiao Feng, let General Manager He decide this matter. I've seen your hard work tonight, thank you for your efforts. Go get the car now, you can take everyone home later!"

Feng Weida was sent away by Wu Renxing.

In the end, He Xiuli chose not to pursue the matter further, telling Zhang Hao to treat Xiaoyu well and not to hit her so easily, and that Zhang Hao sincerely repented. Xiaoyu was deeply moved and thanked him repeatedly, leaving with Zhang Hao full of gratitude.

In fact, Wu Renxing didn't take Zhang Hao to the police station at all. Feng Weida took He Xiuli to see a doctor while he was figuring out how to make Zhang Hao take the blame. Of course, it was impossible to avoid trouble without spending money.

Zhang Hao knew something was fishy as soon as he heard this. Murder was no small matter, and he demanded 200,000 yuan, otherwise there was no point in talking.

"Kid, you think I haven't investigated you? You've been swindling and cheating, you have a criminal record. I'll report you to the police for what you've been up to lately, you won't be out for years, will you? One price, fifty thousand!" Wu Renxing had investigated Zhang Hao's background, otherwise he wouldn't have made this request.

"One hundred thousand!"

"Fine, 100,000 it is!" Wu Renxing agreed through gritted teeth.

Zhang Hao never expected this good thing to happen tonight. "But how can you guarantee your wife won't call the police? This is attempted murder."

"Bring your girlfriend along," Wu Renxing said, his mind racing. "My wife is kind-hearted; just mention the baby in her belly to her, it's guaranteed to work!"

"Xiaoyu and her unborn child, our appearance fee for the three of us will need to be increased by another 50,000 yuan—"

"Package price: 120,000!"

"make a deal!"
