Chapter 1681: No Choice but to Hold It In
Fortunately, Bodyguard B had some common sense. He stopped the engine first. However, the car speed was too fast. Because of inertia, the car continued to rush forward…
However, while Bodyguard B had a little common sense, he was not a car expert. He could no longer control the steering wheel the moment the engine died. His mediocre skills had no way of controlling it…
In the end, under the situation where the direction and brake couldn’t be controlled, their car rushed quickly toward the roadside. However, Bodyguard B still maintained his wits under such circ.u.mstances. He forcefully turned the steering wheel for a long time and crashed into a garbage station by the roadside.
Thanks to the garbage station, the car did not crash into the fences. The two bodyguards managed to survive.
Although they managed to survive, their new s.h.i.+rts had been covered by rubbish again when they crawled out of the car. This garbage station was different from the rubbish pile in the toilet just now. The rubbish here had been piled up for a few days, and there were diverse varieties of rubbish. The smell was unbearable…
“Dude, do you know how to drive? Why did you drive into a rubbish pile again?” Bodyguard A instantly felt angry when he saw that his originally fragrant clothes had started to stink like this.
“If I didn’t know how to drive, the two of us would have already been dead!” Bodyguard B rolled his eyes and said with displeasure. This whole time, he had always been listening to Bodyguard A. He couldn’t help it because Bodyguard A was recruited by Chen Zhiye first. He had gained far more of Chen Zhiye’s trust than Bodyguard B. Since Bodyguard B could not do anything, he had no choice but to hold it in.
However, Bodyguard B could not take it anymore, “If it weren’t because of that rubbish pile blocking us, we would have crashed into the fence. Do you think that we could have survived?”
Bodyguard A was simply complaining just now. After he heard Bodyguard B’s words, he felt a little awkward and chuckled forcefully twice, “We have to quickly drag the car away. Although this is a small alley, we can’t be too cautious. If a policeman were to come here, we won’t be able to escape easily. Chen Fei will definitely be suspicious if our ident.i.ty is revealed. ”
“That is true. Indeed, we would definitely be suspected. After all, we drove out by ourselves without staying beside Chen Zhiye so late at night,” Bodyguard B said. “Besides, as the bureau chief of the Song Jiang Police Department, all policemen in Song Jiang would listen to his orders. We can’t risk it!”
“Fortunately, no one will notice what happened here that quickly,” Bodyguard A said. “I’ll give the boss a phone call and request him to order a towing truck to tow the car away.”
Bodyguard A knew that he would be scolded by Chen Zhiye once he called him. However, he had no choice but to force himself to do so.
“h.e.l.lo? What’s the matter? Are you done?” Chen Zhiye asked softly after picking up the phone.
“Boss, we had a little accident. The braking system of the car had some problems, and we ended up cras.h.i.+ng into a rubbish pile by the roadside…” Bodyguard A said carefully, “We have to find a towing truck quickly to tow the car away. If not, we will be in trouble if police arrive and Chen Fei gets wind of this matter.”
“The braking system had some problems?” Chen Zhiye frowned. He was furious deep down his heart. Why is it such a ha.s.sle to teach Yang Ming a lesson? Why is it that all sorts of problems are arising? However, this car belonged to Chen Zhifu. Although Chen Zhiye was a little angry, he had no way of expressing it. “Where are you all now?”
“Boss, rest a.s.sured. We’re in a safe place now!” Bodyguard A replied.
Chen Zhiye rolled his eyes in anger after hearing Bodyguard A’s words. “I didn’t ask you if you’re safe or not. I asked you where you are right now. If you don’t tell me your location, how am I supposed to bring a towing truck to you?”
“Oh oh…” Bodyguard A immediately said, “We are near the intersection between Heiyang Road and Jiangzhong West Road…”
“Aright, stay there and don’t move. I’ll contact the towing company,” Chen Zhiye almost burst in rage. Originally, he thought that letting these two bodyguards teach Yang Ming a lesson was a little overkill. However, he didn’t know whether he and his bodyguards were just unfortunate, or there were other reasons. Up until now, the matter still hadn’t been settled yet.
…
Yang Ming stopped using his special ability to monitor the two of them. He smirked. He had guessed right. Although they had suffered, they did not dare to consult the police and seek for the truth. Instead, they had to hide and tow the car away before the police arrived.
This was also why he had asked Bao Sanli to bring Wu Ming to destroy their car’s braking system without worries. If this matter was reported to the police, Chen Fei would definitely suspect him. However, Yang Ming was sure that these two did not dare to let Chen Fei know about this matter. In the end, they could only hold it in.
“Brother Yang, we’re here. Where do you want me to stop the car?” The security guard captain, Little w.a.n.g, drove into Chen Mengyan’s household area, and asked Yang Ming what to do next.
“Just stop at that building in front of us,” Yang Ming pointed to Chen Mengyan’s apartment building.
“Alright.” Little w.a.n.g obediently stopped the car at the location that Yang Ming had pointed out. He then stepped down from the car and opened the car’s back door. Chen Mengyan and Chen Fangyu carried the slightly sober Chen Fei down from the car.
“Thank you, Little w.a.n.g!” Chen Fangyu nodded at Little w.a.n.g.
“You’re welcome. This is my duty.” Little w.a.n.g was a little happy and shocked by it. He had never thought that Yang Ming already considered him as his own person. He even told him Chen Mengyan’s address!
It should be known that only a confidant would know about these things. Out of all of Yang Ming’s subordinates, only Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan knew about such details.
Yang Ming glanced at Little w.a.n.g, and felt that he was decent. He had keen eyes, and he always fulfilled his duty. He was someone worthy of shouldering heavy responsibilities.
“Mengyan, don’t go back tonight. Just stay at home,” Yang Ming told Chen Mengyan after he looked at the drunk Chen Fei.
” En, I’ll stay back. I can take care of my father that way,” Chen Mengyan nodded.
“Aunty Chen, I’m not going up. I have just come back, and haven’t visited home yet. I want to go back and visit my parents,” Yang Ming told Chen Fangyu.
“Alright, you should also rest early. You drank quite heavily just now.” Chen Fangyu advised. “After you reach home, send Mengyan a text.”
” En, rest a.s.sured. I will be fine. I’m actually very sober,” Yang Ming smiled.
After he watched Chen Mengyan’s family going up the stairs, he used his special ability to observe them safely reach their house. Only then did he feel relieved.
While Yang Ming was sending Chen Mengyan’s family off, Little w.a.n.g’s phone rang in the car.
Little w.a.n.g took out his phone and looked at the caller id. It was his girlfriend who he lived with. Little w.a.n.g immediately picked it up, “Little Ran, what’s the matter?”
“Weren’t you supposed to finish work by eight today? Why are you not home yet? It is so late. Where did you go?” Little Ran immediately asked.
“I have some official matters to attend to!” Little w.a.n.g was afraid that Yang Ming would hear his conversation, and so he lowered his voice to reply.
“What official matters? What kind of official matters can you have? You’re just a small security guard captain. You think you have become the security department’s chief?” After hearing what Little w.a.n.g said, Little Ran suddenly became angry. “Isn’t the position of the security department’s chief still empty right now? If you are so capable, then take it. You don’t even have to be the chief. I’ll believe that you’re attending to official matters even if you become a deputy chief! What official matters can you possibly have now? Also, why are you whispering? Did you do something behind my back which made you guilty?”
“Stop blabbering! I really have official matters to attend to!” Little w.a.n.g turned anxious as his girlfriend was blabbering. “I will tell you when I’m home!”
“You yelled at me! You dare to yell at me! Little w.a.n.g, it seems you are very capable now?” Little Ran immediately raged when she heard Little w.a.n.g talk back at her.
“I …” Little w.a.n.g frowned. I really want to just hang up!
While Little w.a.n.g was a security guard captain outside, he was the cla.s.sic hen-pecked man in the family. Little Ran’s family background was much better than him. Because of that, she always had more authority no matter if it was talking or anything else.
Chapter 1682: Influence
Little w.a.n.g knew that earning three thousand yuan a month was not a huge sum, and he could not support Little Ran with just that. He still had to rely on Little Ran’s financial support. Because of this, he could only hold it in.
Little Ran’s parents did not have a good response towards their relations.h.i.+p either. It made Little w.a.n.g feel helpless. He was simply a small little security guard captain, so he was considered as nothing in her parent’s eyes.
What Little w.a.n.g couldn’t bear the most was that Little Ran’s parents had even gone ahead and planned to introduce Little Ran to another partner last weekend. It made Little w.a.n.g feel very useless.
If it weren’t because of Little Ran’s strong objection, her parents would have succeeded.
He could not bear to hang up when he thought of how much Little Ran loved him even though she kept ordering him around. He did not hang up the phone immediately, instead, he whispered, “I’m sending a big shot back home. I’ll tell you the details later when I get back home.”
“Big shot?” Little Ran was shocked for a while. Although she didn’t quite believe it, she started to think that it might be true since Little w.a.n.g had said so. “Alright then. If you can’t explain it to me when you come home, then don’t think of sleeping on the bed tonight!”
Little w.a.n.g smiled bitterly as he hung up the phone. He let out a sigh. Although sending Yang Ming home this time was an opportunity, he wasn’t guaranteed to receive any rewards. After all, he was just trying to get people to notice him. After all, it was really hard to become the security department’s chief
Naturally, Yang Ming did not notice Little w.a.n.g’s expression. After he went back to the car, he told Little w.a.n.g, “Start the car. Let’s go. We’ll go to the Song Jiang Bus Factory Residence.”
“Alright, Brother Yang!” Little w.a.n.g quickly adjusted his mood back to normal and nodded. He then started the car.
The car started driving to the Song Jiang Bus Factory Residence. The Song Jiang Bus Factory Residence had changed its name to the Ming Yang District. However, because this change was very recent, many people were still used to calling it the Song Jiang Bus Factory Residence.”
“Little w.a.n.g, how old are you this year?” Yang Ming asked as he looked at Little w.a.n.g who was focusing on driving.
“Brother Yang, I’m twenty this year.” Little w.a.n.g did not know why Yang Ming would ask him this. However, he still answered honestly.
“Twenty… I’m twenty as well. You don’t have to call me Brother Yang.” Yang Ming smiled after hearing it.
“How is that acceptable? Age doesn’t matter. Those who have authority should always be respected.” Little w.a.n.g was shocked. He answered nervously. He didn’t know why Yang Ming would suddenly say this. After all, both Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were older than him. He had to follow their example and call Yang Ming “Brother Yang”.
” Hehe, suit yourself.” Yang Ming smiled. “Have you decided whether you want to change your job?”
“Change my job?” Little w.a.n.g felt nervous all of a sudden. He was doubtful now. He didn’t know if Yang Ming’s words were good or bad news. He asked nervously, “Brother Yang, do you want to fire me now because I am not good enough…”
“Of course not.” Yang Ming smiled. “I lack a driver, and I feel that you’re decent. Do you want to be my driver?”
“This …” Little w.a.n.g tried very hard to suppress his excitement. He couldn’t even hold the steering wheel stably, “Brother Yang, am I capable of doing so?”
Little w.a.n.g never thought that his chance would come so soon. Also, it was much better than his expectations.
Originally, Little w.a.n.g thought that it would be hard enough to just become the hotel’s security department’s deputy chief. Now, he had become Yang Ming’s driver! Although being a driver did not sound as cool as a security guard captain, it was all subjective. It depended on who he was driving for.
Little w.a.n.g knew Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty and position. If he were to become Yang Ming’s driver, he would be considered as a core member of Yang Ming’s group. Next time, even Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan would have to be respectful toward him.
“I think that you’re decent. Now it is up to you,” Yang Ming smiled and said.
“Of course I’m willing to do it!” Little w.a.n.g said excitedly. “Brother Yang, when should I start?”
“I don’t use the car every day. I just use it once in a while,” Yang Ming smiled. “How about this? Tomorrow, you go and report to Ming Yang Entertainment. I’ll let Bao Sanli give you the position of the logistics department’s deputy manager. Don’t slack off most of the time. Try to be responsible for the company’s security situation. Ming Yang Entertainment doesn’t have its own security department. The security affairs are all handled by the Ming Yang Security Company. After you go there, try to work on this. After the security department is set up, you shall be its chief.
With just a few words, Yang Ming had already helped Little w.a.n.g to arrange his future.
“Ah…” Little w.a.n.g was dumbfounded. He never thought that Yang Ming would also a.s.sign him a position in the office. Originally, he had decided to accept even if he was just a driver.
However, Yang Ming’s arrangement was an opportunity that had fallen right into his lap. This made Little w.a.n.g feel somewhat strange, as if he was dreaming. Initially, he would be happy if he were to become deputy chief of the hotel’s security department. Now, Yang Ming had a.s.signed him to work in the main office to become the first chief of the security department. It made Little w.a.n.g unable to accept reality.
“Also, if I have something to do, I’ll call you. You just have to drive to where I am,” Yang Ming said. “However, it won’t be so busy. If there are no major problems, I will be driving by myself.”
Yang Ming arranged it this way because he was lacking a reliable driver. Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were busy every day with company matters. Yang Ming felt that it was inappropriate to repeatedly ask them to drive him around.
Although the two of them did not complain and were happy to drive for him, Yang Ming could not continue to do so. So Yang Ming had this idea in mind when he saw Little w.a.n.g. This Little w.a.n.g looked capable, so Yang Ming decided to use some time to observe him.
If he was really someone reliable and trustworthy, Yang Ming would slowly give him more heavy tasks. If he was not capable, then he would just let him be the Chief of Ming Yang Entertainment’s security department. It wouldn’t be a waste for him to follow Yang Ming for a while.
The position of chief of the Ming Yang Security Company’s security department was not important. It meant nothing to Yang Ming.
“Brother Yang, rest a.s.sured! I’ll fulfill my duty well. I will not disappoint you!” Little w.a.n.g said emotionally.
Yang Ming nodded. Yang Ming would observe Little w.a.n.g’s performance himself. Yang Ming had realized that there were currently very few people that he could trust and command.
In Song Jiang, other than Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli, there was no one else that he could use. There were only three if he included Wu Ming. However, Wu Ming still had to go back to Africa.
” Oh, right. I still don’t know your name,” Yang Ming suddenly realized that he had only been calling him Little w.a.n.g.
“My name is w.a.n.g Lin.” Little w.a.n.g replied.
” Oh… w.a.n.g Lin… Do you know who Er Gen is?” Yang Ming asked.
“Er Gen? Who is Er Gen?” w.a.n.g Lin was confused.
“It’s nothing…” Yang Ming smiled while shaking his head. w.a.n.g Lin’s name reminded him of the protagonist of a web novel he had read.
Yang Ming gave Bao Sanli a phone call and arranged a position for w.a.n.g Lin. After that, he arrived at the Song Jiang Bus Factory Family Residence.
w.a.n.g Lin did not drive away. He gave the car key to Yang Ming instead. Bao Sanli would personally give him a new car when he reported to the office the next day.
After Yang Ming disappeared by the stairway, w.a.n.g Lin excitedly pinched his face to make sure that he wasn’t dreaming. After he made sure that he was awake, he excitedly ran toward the direction of his house. He wanted to share this good news with his girlfriend, Little Ran!
Naturally, Yang Ming never thought that the actions he did on a whim had changed a person and a family’s fate. If it weren’t because of Yang Ming’s actions, w.a.n.g Lin would still be the Captain Little w.a.n.g from last time, and he would continue working at the hotel.
There would also eventually be some problems between him and his girlfriend as well. After all, Little Ran’s parents were oppressing him too. However, everything had changed in this one night.
If Yang Ming knew about this, who knew if he would sigh emotionally. When someone had enough power, they could change and affect the lives and fates of those beside them unknowingly.
Perhaps, this was what the phrase ‘the higher the power, the heavier the responsibility’ meant. Today, it had a positive influence. Who knew if it would have a negative influence?
Yang Ming walked to the front of the familiar house. It had been quite some time since he had returned home. As he took out the keys and opened the anti-theft door, he heard the voice of his mom coming from the inside of the house, “Who is it? Are you Big Ming?”
“Mom, it’s me!” The long absence caused Yang Ming’s heart to be filled with warmth.
