Chapter 156 Taking Life
Standing far outside the alley, Wanqiu could hear the deep shouts of the people practicing martial arts inside the escort agency.
Among this group of people, her younger brother's voice was the deepest and most powerful.
At this moment, Chen Dazhuang was sparring with the bodyguard Bo Lai.
He was originally doing light work under the forest manager of Butterfly Valley.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Manager Lin summoned him to his office and asked him if he would like to learn martial arts.
Becoming a martial artist has been his lifelong dream.
Chen Dazhuang was overjoyed to hear that he could learn martial arts.
But he was also afraid that this was just an excuse for Manager Lin to kick him out.
After all, he always heard his fellow soldiers say that he ate as much as a cow, but didn't do much work.
He felt guilty and ashamed, fearing he would be kicked out.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Fan patiently asked him again.
And tell him that this was instructed by his employer.
If he is truly willing to learn martial arts, his monthly salary will be doubled.
Chen Dazhuang's original monthly wage was two taels. If it could be doubled, wouldn't that be four taels?
Although four taels of silver was only one-third of what my sister earned in the Marquis's mansion.
But he was already very content.
Before, I worked myself to the bone at the rich man's house for a month, but all I got was enough to fill my stomach!
There was simply no money to take back to buy medicine for my mother.
Now at least he can bring in some income for his family.
That way, his younger brother could also pay his tuition and go to school.
Chen Dazhuang nodded happily, indicating his willingness to learn martial arts.
Therefore, Lin Fan arranged for someone to bring him here.
It was only when he arrived here that he realized it was actually a security escort agency.
His task was to learn martial arts and become a bodyguard.
Once you officially become a bodyguard, your monthly salary will be much more than just four taels of silver.
A single escort mission could potentially earn several dozen taels of silver.
This gave Chen Dazhuang even more motivation to learn martial arts.
On the first day Chen Dazhuang arrived, Bo Lai measured his bones.
Discovering that Chen Dazhuang was a promising martial arts student, Bo Lai began to carefully instruct him.
After a few days, compared to other new apprentices...
Chen Dazhuang's boxing skills have become quite impressive.
When Wanqiu reached the door, she saw her younger brother sparring with a wiry-looking bodyguard.
"Oh..."
In just a few breaths, she saw her younger brother defeated.
"Da Zhuang."
I saw my younger brother being slammed hard onto the solid floor.
Wanqiu felt sorry for Chen Dazhuang and helped him up, whose face was bruised and swollen.
Everyone looked at Chen Dazhuang with curiosity when they saw the pretty young girl who had suddenly appeared from the escort agency.
"Dazhuang, is this your childhood sweetheart?"
His colleagues looked at him with envy.
"Hehe, so Dazhuang has a girlfriend now. I asked him before and he said he didn't..."
"I never would have guessed that this roughneck Chen Dazhuang could find such a beautiful young girl!"
At this moment, Chen Dazhuang, who had been thrown to the ground, hurriedly explained, "You've misunderstood..."
Wanqiu found the suspicions of these people both amusing and exasperating.
You've really misunderstood.
I'm Dazhuang's older sister, but not in the way you think.
"Yes, what nonsense are you talking about? She's my older sister!"
Chen Dazhuang's face was flushed red as he looked at these people with some annoyance.
"Hahaha... I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding."
"Dazhuang, I'm sorry."
Since he wasn't your lover, you should have said so sooner!
Bo Laijian saw that it was Chen Dazhuang's sister who had come, and he knew that the two siblings must have something to say to each other.
He stopped the commotion and ordered Chen Dazhuang to take Wanqiu inside to catch up.
The rest of the people continued practicing horse stance.
Wanqiu wanted to help her younger brother inside, but Chen Dazhuang pushed her hand away.
"Sister, it's just a superficial injury, it's nothing serious!"
"I can walk, I don't need your help."
This is just the appetizer; the real ruthlessness of Chief Biao is yet to come.
"Are you really alright? I see you're covered in bruises..."
Seeing the heartache in his sister's eyes, Chen Dazhuang comforted her.
"Sister, I'm really okay."
Don't forget, your younger brother has had a dream since he was a child.
That is to learn martial arts and become a great general who does practical things for the people and protects the country..."
Now that he finally has the opportunity to learn martial arts, how could he be afraid of hardship?
Hearing these words, Wanqiu felt gratified.
I never expected that my younger brother, who wasn't very well-educated, would have such lofty ambitions.
"Dazhuang, I'm so happy that you're still holding onto this idea."
Being a bodyguard comes with both opportunities and risks; if you can persevere, it can be a promising career.
"Keep up the good work, I believe in you..."
"Sister, don't worry! I definitely won't let you down."
I certainly won't let my employer down!
After spending a few days together, Chen Dazhuang vaguely sensed the high hopes that Chief Escort Bo had for him.
During the day, Master Bo taught them martial arts.
In my spare time, I would also talk to him about military strategy.
Two days ago, when Qingzhu came over, Master Bo instructed him and Qingzhu to study hard.
When Qingzhu left, she even gave him two books.
He told him meaningfully to study it carefully and to ask him if he didn't understand.
Although Chen Dazhuang was simple-minded, he was not stupid.
He knew that the escort agency run by his employer seemed to serve more than just the purpose of transporting goods.
There seems to be some ulterior motive behind this.
But the knowledge he has is so limited that it's not apparent yet.
What he can guarantee is that he will definitely study martial arts diligently.
A short while later, the bodyguard, Bo, entered.
Wanqiu gave him a curtsy.
However, he politely replied, "Chief镖 (bodyguard/escort), I am acting on my aunt's orders this time."
Tell my younger brother, Dazhuang, to go to the Marquis's residence.
"I'd really appreciate it if you could make an exception for me..."
Bo Lai looked at the siblings and nodded to Wan Qiu.
"Since the employer is looking for you, then go!"
Remember to come back early after you're done; I have other tricks to teach you today!
Chen Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
"Okay, Chief Escort Bo, then my sister and I will be going."
"Ah."
Watching the siblings walk out of the security agency hand in hand.
A smile appeared in Bo Lai's eyes.
I really didn't expect it.
This trip actually led him to find someone who could inherit the mantle of his Li family's martial arts.
When Wu Weiwei took a nap, she heard Ling Fu say that Wan Qiu had brought Chen Dazhuang over.
"I've met Master Wu."
Chen Dazhuang's deep voice echoed in the room.
"Well, get up!"
After some time apart, I never expected to see Chen Dazhuang, who had once so innocently lifted the stone lion of the Marquis's mansion.
Now, he possesses the spirit and energy that only martial artists have.
Wu Weiwei expressed her delight at Chen Dazhuang's current state.
She knew Lin Fan wouldn't waste the person she sent over.
She asked Wanqiu a while ago.
Wanqiu also said that her younger brother, Chen Dazhuang, does brick-moving and stone-moving work every day.
Wu Weiwei was wondering if Lin Fan was being underutilized.
I never expected it would come in so handy now.
If Chen Dazhuang hadn't gone astray, Wu Weiwei knew his achievements would have been far greater than this.
As long as the plan goes smoothly, these people will be able to complete a few escort missions.
Qingzhu will then select some reliable and capable individuals from among them, and they will begin to explore overseas shipping routes.
Looking at Chen Dazhuang's honest and simple square face.
Wu Weiwei began by saying:
"Dazhuang, I called you here today to ask you to help me take someone's life."
