The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Chu Ge’s concern is not without reason; if it’s true as he said, it would only waste time.

At critical moments, people tend to get nervous. Even the usually calm Chu Ge couldn’t help but feel a bit worried now.

Huang Gang Leader chuckled, waving his hand, "You can rest assured about that. I know the location, it’s a very secret place, and Prince He Shuo won’t discover it. Even if he did, he’d just think it’s an ordinary cave, nothing more than that."

Chu Ge was a bit puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Huang Gang Leader kept it a secret, shaking his head lightly and winking mysteriously at Chu Ge, "You’ll find out when the time comes. For now, let me keep it a secret."

"..." Chu Ge pursed his lips. Seeing Huang Gang Leader’s demeanor, he thought he probably wouldn’t say more, so he shrugged helplessly, "Alright then."

"By the way, girl."

Suddenly thinking of something, Huang Gang Leader looked curiously at Feng Luo and asked, "Girl, how did you find out about the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs? And you managed to persuade the brothel owner of Yihong House to testify!"

Feng Luo proudly lifted her chin and said, "Actually, I didn’t know about the matter initially. It was the victim’s brother who complained to the government that was seen by our Beggar Sect Disciples, which is how I found out."

"But even if you knew, what made you decide to intervene?" Huang Gang Leader’s tone carried some admiration, truly worthy of being his Beggar Sect disciple, brave and bold!

"Because her mother fainted at the Beggar Gang Old Mansion gate a few days ago."

Feng Luo explained.

It turns out a few days ago Feng Luo saved an elderly woman at the Beggar Gang’s gate. Due to the serious implications, Feng Luo became cautious and left the elderly woman outside.

Initially, she wanted to report the matter to Luo Qi and Luo Jiu, but she thought it over. If she told Luo Qi and Luo Jiu, they’d inevitably inform Chu Ge. If Chu Ge found out, Ye Liang might know too!

Thinking that Ye Liang is still at the mansion and is someone from Marquis Ye Mansion, which is a lackey of Prince He Shuo, she felt quite irritated.

Suddenly, remembering something, she turned abruptly and glared at Chu Ge, asking, "Chu Ge, you didn’t also bring Ye Liang into the camp, did you?"

Chu Ge was stunned, caught off guard by Feng Luo’s sudden question, and didn’t react immediately. After thinking for a bit, he shook his head and said, "No."

He hadn’t thought of that, but he wasn’t planning on telling her or bringing her in.

He wanted to see if she had any other ways to get in.

Upon hearing him say no, Feng Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief, rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, and then said, "That’s good. If you get in there dragging family along, it would indeed be inconvenient."

Speaking with a sarcastic tone, Chu Ge lightly pressed his lips, amusedly looking at Feng Luo, asking, "What do you mean dragging family along? Ye Liang and I aren’t family."

After he spoke, he had an innocent look on his face.

Feng Luo snorted lightly, "You brought her to Beggar Gang for no reason? She came for you. But that has nothing to do with me; I was just saying casually. If you and Old Gang Leader have any secrets, it’d be best not to take Ye Liang."

Otherwise, she couldn’t predict the consequences.

Remembering the scene at the recruitment site where Little Shunzi and Ye Liang were talking, Feng Luo kindly advised Chu Ge, "Also, I happened to meet Little Shunzi on site. He’s already signed up for the army. Whether he’s genuinely protecting the country or taking the chance to monitor you, I couldn’t say."

Chu Ge fell silent, his gaze lowered while restraining the complex emotions in his eyes.

Seeing that they may have more to discuss, Feng Luo waved her hand, "You two take your time to chat; I’m off to the street to listen to gossip."

She preferred hearing how the gossip spread on the street over listening to their conversation. The incident this morning was quite the commotion and had already alerted the Emperor, so surely it had spread throughout the street.

After Feng Luo left, Huang Gang Leader also curtailed his laughter, becoming serious as he looked at Luo Qi, "Look at yourselves! You’re adults yet not even up to a fifteen-year-old’s level!"

Luo Qi chuckled with a cheeky grin, "Old Gang Leader, didn’t you just stand up for Feng Luo a moment ago? Why are you blaming us now?"

Huang Gang Leader snorted, "You and Old Nine were reprimanding Feng Luo. Would it work without someone standing up for her? Moreover, the girl did a commendable thing! Although we, as part of Beggar Gang, are common folk, powerless against authority and officials, the girl stood up regardless. Such actions deserve praise, not criticism."

"..."

"But you and Old Nine are different. Despite being part of Beggar Gang, why could the girl accomplish this while you and Old Nine remained clueless?"

Huang Gang Leader looked at them meaningfully, "Something to reflect on—it’s not due to Feng Luo’s intentional concealment, but because your minds have been elsewhere for a long time, not focused on our Beggar Gang."

Luo Qi and Luo Jiu exchanged glances, both lowering their heads in guilt.

Old Gang Leader’s words were clear; over the years, they had become too close to the court and Prince He Shuo, diverting their time and energy, neglecting matters related to Beggar Gang for too long.

Even when there were issues within Beggar Gang, they were handled poorly and without the attentiveness Feng Luo demonstrated, losing focus at times—a troubling sign!

Old Gang Leader’s comments struck straightforwardly.

"Old Gang Leader’s lesson is instructive. I will definitely change and refocus on Beggar Gang."

"Me too."

Luo Jiu echoed from the side.

"Alright, anyway, Beggar Gang has already been handed to you. As for management, I won’t interfere. But you two were raised by me, and I can’t watch you stray, drifting further and further, so some timely guidance is necessary."

"Old Gang Leader’s intentions are understood. Luo Qi has been lazy, causing you worry."

"No need for formalities. When we head to the camp, the Old Mansion will be quite empty. That’s when you and Luo Jiu should take the chance to straighten up Beggar Gang. Look at those disciples outside; they’re getting too lax."

"Old Gang Leader, aren’t we known for our freedom and laxity at Beggar Gang? Imposing too many restrictions could make everyone uncomfortable."

Luo Jiu chuckled sheepishly as he spoke.

"I’m not asking you to add new rules! I’m asking you to reorganize—at least restore the old regulations, right? It’s been ages since Beggar Sect Disciples around reported back."

Upon Old Gang Leader’s prompt, Luo Qi instinctively frowned, indeed it had been some time.
