Chapter 568: The Lai Family Must Go Bankrupt, Ma Biao Must Die

Zhao Cong paused slightly, a look of surprise on his face. "I was wondering myself. I have seven or eight old injuries from the past. They are still there, but they seem to be healing slowly. I originally thought it was because the feng shui here matched my destiny."

Li Zhi looked at him with curiosity. "You’re a veteran, yet you still believe in fate?"

"I do. I must believe in it," Zhao Cong replied seriously. "There is a fortune teller in my hometown who is very accurate. My mother went to him for me two years ago. He said my life was safe, but I would retire from the army. Sure enough, I retired last year. I went to see him later, and he said I had a higher calling in my destiny and was not suited for military life. Look, I came here, and things are indeed going well."

Li Zhi listened, his eyes showing deep thought. "It seems there are extraordinary people everywhere in this world."

Yan Aohan did not comment on this. "Let’s not discuss that. The task I am giving you is to protect the Zhu Shun Yao family. The family structure is simple. There are five members in total. I have already assigned bodyguards to Zhu Yanyi. You know their leader; it is Luo Gang."

"Brother Luo Gang. We know him," Li Zhi and Zhao Cong said. They had worked with Luo Gang on previous missions.

"Good," Yan Aohan nodded. "Zhu Yanli also has a bodyguard, and another will be assigned to her in a couple of days. Zhu Zhibin’s protection is also arranged. Your task is not to protect the three siblings, but to protect the couple, Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian."

"What level of protection is required?" Li Zhi asked.

Yan Aohan looked at Li Zhi. "The couple are among the first 'ten-thousand-yuan households' in the Four Towns area. They are also one of the most outstanding farmer entrepreneurs in the entire Yong City. Zhu Shun Yao realizes this, so he is already establishing a security team specifically for Azure Sovereign Qingdi. Our security company is technically affiliated with Zhu Shun Yao’s Azure Sovereign Group. Zhu Shun Yao has done much, but he forgets his own safety. I worry that people might harass them recently. Your task is to protect the couple. Remember, it is covert protection. Ensure they face no danger whatsoever. If anyone comes secretly, deal with them directly."

"Presumably, a farmer entrepreneur wouldn’t offend anyone, would he?" Zhao Cong asked casually.

Yan Aohan glanced at Zhao Cong. "It is simple. Because they have a daughter, Zhu Yanyi. Zhu Yanyi is the disciple of Old Man Yao. Old Man Yao has become a thorn in someone’s side for certain reasons. Some people cannot touch Old Man Yao, so they might target his disciple. Zhu Yanyi has my bodyguards, so she is safe. But I worry they might try to control Zhu Shun Yao and his wife to control Zhu Yanyi, and then use Zhu Yanyi to threaten Old Man Yao. Besides, our Azure Sovereign Security Company belongs to Zhu Shun Yao’s group, even if we are somewhat independent. It is only right to protect the group’s leadership, isn’t it?"

"So that’s how it is. Boss, rest assured. We will handle this," Li Zhi said directly. In their hearts, Old Man Yao was a benefactor to all soldiers. The wound-healing medicine he developed had benefited many military personnel. Therefore, they would never allow anyone to harm him.
