Chapter 631: Forming a Secret Guard Organization
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang An didn’t expect Zou Er to help her get the secret guards organized. She just wanted to understand what was needed and prepare early so that it wouldn’t be too late.
She also knew that her idea was a little shocking. Of course, secret guards were good things. Not only could they protect herself and her family invisibly, but they could also find out some information that ordinary people did not know.
Many families were afraid of the four aristocratic families because of the guards in their hands.
However, it was purely a dream for every family to have secret guards. The nurturing of guards required a large investment, not only in terms of funds, but also in terms of mental strength.
They had to carefully choose the first batch of secret guards and set up a very strict process to train them. It would be best if the initial batch was relatively young and to inculcate loyalty to the family when they grew up.
However, this also required them to grow up. It would take more than ten years or even longer, and the investment could not be stopped halfway.
The expenditure of this alone was enough to topple small families, let alone nurture a new batch of guards after they grew up.
There had to be someone accompanying them to ensure that these people would never betray their families. Otherwise, it would really be the worst thing in the world if all the people they taught ran away in the end.
Therefore, even if many people coveted secret guards, they could only sigh in disappointment. They did not have the ability to nurture them at all unless they paid the price of their entire family.
Jiang An had never thought of forming a secret guard, but recent events made her understand that she seemed to have been relying on Zou Bai to protect her. Moreover, the initiative to protect her was in his hands.
In other words, if Zou Bai withdrew this protection, there was nothing she could do.
Jiang An naturally believed that Zou Bai wouldn’t do that, but it was better to distinguish between the Zou and Jiang families. After all, even if the two of them were together, it didn’t mean that the two families would merge.
Since Jiang An was the future family head, she had to do something for the Jiang family.
But now, she didn’t want to give up her job in the entertainment industry and go to the company. If she wanted to do something for the Jiang family, she could only find another way.
Establishing a secret guard was obviously a good idea. The Jiang family of Xiyun was far away from Beijing and seemed to be incomparable to the four great families. However, Jiang An knew that the Jiang family had the capital to establish a secret guard, but they had never done so.
Previously, Jiang Hai and Li Mei felt that this was too eye-catching. It was as if they were going to fight the four major families. It was better to hide themselves in a corner of Xiyun. It was best if no one noticed the Jiang family.
However, the situation was completely different now. Because of Jiang An and Zou Bai’s relationship, the Jiang family had received unprecedented attention. It was not something they could control themselves.
At the same time, many enemies of the Zou family had also noticed this and were thinking about whether to make a move in the dark. Li Mei had dealt with many such things recently.
She did not hide it from Jiang An. She told her everything and let her make the decision herself.
Due to this, Jiang An wanted to establish a secret guard that truly belonged to the Jiang family to protect her family.
After asking a few simple questions, Jiang An probably had a plan in mind. She planned to discuss it with her parents and brothers later. After all, this was a huge matter.
Zou Er anxiously reported this matter to Zou Bai, hoping that his master would have a way to stop it.
Unexpectedly, Zou Bai did not take it seriously at all after hearing this. He said, “You don’t have to specially report this to me.”
Zou Er didn’t understand why his master was so calm. Miss Jiang was already going to form her own secret guard. Wasn’t it obvious that she wanted to separate from his master?
It was Zou Yi who dragged him away and said, “Are you stupid? Although Miss Jiang is in love with Master, she’s still the heir of the Jiang family. Naturally, she has to prioritize her family. It’s not strange to form a secret guard. You ran over in such a hurry to tell Master. You seem to be a snitch.”
Zou Er was dumbfounded. “That’s not what I meant. You know that’s definitely not what I meant.”
“Of course I know. Master also knows who you are. That’s why he knew to ignore you. Otherwise, he would have gotten someone to drag you out long ago.” Zou Yi comforted him.
Zou Er heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “By the way, how did you deal with the director?”
“Threw him overseas to do manual labor. No one will know where he is,” Zou Yi said.
Actually, he was not telling the truth. He had already died when the director ‘disappeared’. His master would not do those sloppy things. As long as he was alive, there would be movements. It was better for him to be dead..
