“Grandpa, he is…” Josh Lin was curious to know more things about him.
“His name is Gulang, who have served in the Special Forces when he was young. After his retirement, he became an underground boxer. I saved his life and since then, he’s been with me. It seems that ten years has passed.” Moses Liu recalled.
“A retired special forces soldier? An underground boxer?”
Josh was startled, for he used to be just a poor boy and he had never been exposed to such kind of person.
“Josh, to tell you the truth. All this time, I’ve been asking Gulang to secretly protect you. I don’t want anything to happen to my precious grandson.” Moses said with a smile.
“Really? Thank you, grandpa.” Josh nodded.
The last time Josh had been kidnapped; Josh had felt that he couldn’t get enough protection.
Now thinking about that, he found that his grandpa had already arranged everything, and if the kidnappers hadn’t released him, Gulang might have rescued him.
“But grandfather, he’s only one person after all, and if he really encounters a lot of enemies, he might not be able to protect me.” Josh shook his head.
“Young master, you don’t trust me, right?” His voice was hoarse.
“It’s not questioning, I’m just telling the truth.” Josh spread his hands.
“Ha, ha, Gulang, show my grandson.” Moses said with a smile.
He nodded, then turned straight around and punched the wall. “Thud!”
With a fierce blow, the wall that his fist hit cracked like spider web.
“Jesus Christ!” Josh couldn’t help but swallow hard.
How could it be possible? A punch could actually crack a wall? This was completely beyond what Josh could image.
If this fist were to hit someone, wouldn’t it just kill him? Josh didn’t dare to think more about it.
“Young master, do I live up your expectations?” Gulang’ s voice was horse.
“Awesome!” Josh gave a thumbs up to him.
Moses squinted, “Josh, from today, Gulang will be yours. He will be your bodyguard to protect you. He is absolutely loyal to me, which you don’t have to worry about.”
“Thank you, then, grandpa.” Josh grinned and didn’t refuse.
After experiencing the kidnapping thing, Josh understood that even though he was rich, he didn’t have the way to protect himself. And if he did encounter revenge from his enemies, it was important to have a strong bodyguard by his side.
“Gulang, then Josh will be young master.” Moses said to Gulang.
Gulang nodded, then walking up to Josh, bowing and saluting. “Young master!”
“Gulang, don’t worry, I won’t treat you bad.” Josh said with a smile.
At this point Moses spoke again.
“Grandson, I also have a request. Gulang will only take action when there is a real danger, and in most occasions, Gulang is only in the dark, so that you can be trained better.”
“No problem!” Josh agreed with his grandpa.
“By the way, your mother has been suffering from overwork over the years, so I’m going to take her overseas and recuperate for a while.” Moses said.
“OK!” Josh nodded. It was for the sake of his mother’s health, so he naturally agreed.
“Josh, when I’m away, take good care of yourself and call us if you want.” His mother farewelled Josh with concern.
Josh stepped forward to hold his mother’s hand.
“Mom, I can take care of myself, and you can too.”
Josh father died early and all these years it’s his mother brought himself up by herself. She had suffered a lot, which Josh knew it.
After dinner at home, grandpa had left Qingyang City with his mother that night.
…
The next afternoon in Qingyang University. Today was the day of the end of the weekend.
Inside the classroom
“Boss, did you hear that? Tiger has transferred to another school. I’m sure he’s scared to see you, so he escaped.” Fatty looked excited.
“Really?” Josh laughed and didn’t take it too seriously.
“What a pity. I went too late yesterday and didn’t get to see the moment when he was beaten up by you. I’m sure it was great.” Fatty shook his head.
At this time, the students in the classroom were also gossiping.
“Did you guys hear about it? Tiger has gone. He left this school.” “Why did he suddenly transfer schools?”
“It’s not going to have anything to do with Lin Yun Josh, is it? Last Friday, Tiger had threatened that he would get Josh expelled, but now he is fine and he’s transferring schools and running away.”
Many of the students couldn’t help but associate the transfer to Josh.
From the students’ point of view, Tiger couldn’t have done this for no reason.
“How could it be possible? Josh is just a wimp, what can he do to force Tigerto transfer schools?”
“That’s right, he is so poor that he’s been on scholarship for two years in a row, how can he possibly fight against Tiger? There must be another reason.”
“Right, you’re right.”
…
Although according to the available evidence, Tiger’s sudden transferring to another school seemed to have the most to do with Josh, but no one wanted to believe it, for Josh’ s family was poor, which was a fact known to most of the students.
As for yesterday’s cocktail party, of course they knew nothing.
When Jane Wang heard the news, she relieved, for from now on, Tiger wouldn’t bother Josh anymore.
Just then, a man wearing a shirt walked into the classroom, who was 1.8 meters tall and quite handsome as well.
“Wow, it’s Hai Zheng.” Some students in the class couldn’t help but scream when they saw this man.
Josh knew him and had heard that he was the head of the Student Union’s Outreach Department. The girls he had slept with could be a volleyball team.
Of course, this didn’t prevent him from being popular, and there were still many girls who were after him because he was tall and handsome, and he was also a very good basketball player.
Josh was quite disgusted with a hypocrite like him, though.
“Why did he come to our classroom?” Josh frowned.
After Hai Zheng entered the classroom, he walked directly to Jane.
“What do you want?” Jane looked up at him.
“Of course. Let’s talk about it outside.” Hai Zheng said. “Okay.”
Jane was the officer of the Outreach Department, so she nodded and followed him out of the classroom.
“Fatty, why don’t you go out to have a look?”
When Josh saw Hai Zheng, he had the feeling that he was not a good guy.
So, Josh and Fatty went out.
Outside the classroom
“Jane, as the head of the Student Union’s Outreach Department, I’d like to give you a task.” Hai Zheng said.
“Please.” Jane nodded.
Jane was a member of the Outreach Department, who was also a subordinate to Hai Zheng.
“The school is going to hold the Winter Games recently, and it needs a sponsor so that they can sponsor the Games for two hundred thousand. I think it’s more appropriate to give this task to you.” He said.
What he was saying was simple to understand. He wanted Jane to find a sponsor. Two hundred thousand!
“Two hundred thousand? This…is too much!” Jane was shocked by this amount.
In the past, the amount was not over thirty or fifty thousand, and it was rare to see two hundred thousand.
Finding a sponsor was already a very difficult thing, and it was more difficult for such a large amount.
“This Winter Games is going to be held in a grander way, so we need money.” Hai Zheng said.
After a pause, he continued, “Jane, the more difficult it is, the more you can be trained. It’s an invaluable opportunity. I gave you this task because I value you, understand?”
“What a fucking bullshitter.”
Josh, who was eavesdropping, couldn’t help but sneer after hearing his words.
These student union presidents liked to get these naïve students to join the student union in the name of training.
Then they made them do something strenuous, free, of course, as well as serve them, and in the end called it training.
And what’s the real situation? There is bureaucracy in the student union, and a student union president can recruit a dozen female student secretaries to serve him full-time.
Josh didn’t know if it’s the same in other universities, but at least it’s that in Qingyang University!
Fatty nodded in agreement, “Yes, total bullshit. Fortunately, I quitted the Student Union early, or they would have used me as a dog.”
After Jane heard his words, she worriedly said, “I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to get this done. 200,000 is really too much!”
“Jane, you’re the prettiest girl in our Outreach Department, and as long as you sacrifice your body, I think…200,000 will be easy for you.” He smiled.
