To Li Ying's words, Meng Fan could only helplessly smile, but didn't refute anything.
He was just curious about why Li Ying was here even if Liu Xu was in the hospital. Even if the other party really sent out the police, there was no need for them to accompany him in the hospital!
Thinking about it, Meng Fan's face changed. He seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Ying and smiled. "I say, Officer Li. You can't have really fallen for me, right?"
"Who would have set their eyes on you!" Li Ying's face turned red and the embarrassment on her face disappeared. Instead, she looked at Meng Fan with disdain as she spoke.
Although Meng Fan couldn't be said to be an old bird in love, he was still quite knowledgeable about the expression of others. Seeing the awkwardness on Li Ying's face, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
He was just teasing Li Ying on the surface, but who knew what this woman was thinking? It really wasn't something he could think of.
Meng Fan admitted that he didn't have any good feelings towards Li Ying. Other than the police station, he also met her several times.
Not to mention romance, even if they weren't enemies it would already be fine. But what Li Ying was showing to him right now was a feeling that Meng Fan couldn't understand.
Meng Fan didn't dare to say anything more. He was well aware of his own situation. Even if he didn't talk about what he had experienced a few years ago, he wouldn't be able to guarantee the safety of his loved ones.
Seeing Meng Fan's silence, Li Ying seemed to sense something too. Her expression turned serious as she casually took out a pen and paper and sat down beside Meng Fan with a serious expression. She coldly said, "Speak!" What was the situation then? Why are you guys being chased? "
"Officer Li, don't you think asking me these questions is boring? "I am just a bodyguard, how would I know why there are people chasing after us. Even with the sniper rifle out, this is the first time in my life that I have seen such a formation. It seems like the security in Dragon City isn't any better!"
Meng Fan was speechless. He was also full of questions about Li Ying's questions, not to mention answering them.
"Don't bullshit with me! I should actually ask you this. Ever since you returned to the Dragon City, have you been quiet for a long time? " Li Ying said and kept the pen and paper.
She was well aware that it was impossible to learn anything from Meng Fan. Although she didn't know much about him, she had interacted with him a few times before.
Furthermore, she was always the one at a disadvantage. There was nothing she could do to Meng Fan. Even more infuriating was the fact that Meng Fan had taught her a lesson in the factory a few days ago, which had caused her to become even more curious about Meng Fan's identity.
"Since you know all about it, avoid coming into contact with me. Who knows when you might be dragged into this world!" Meng Fan had a serious expression on his face. Clearly, his words had something to do with him.
"Humph!" Li Ying clearly understood the meaning behind Meng Fan's words. Her face darkened and she coldly snorted. She then turned around and walked out of the ward.
As for Li Ying, Meng Fan really didn't know what to say, so he loved her, and everyone had their own feelings. As a young man, Meng Fan didn't believe him when he said that he didn't like pretty girls, but on the other hand, Meng Fan was worried that Li Ying would be implicated by him.
Although there was no danger right now, it was only temporary. Not only was Sun Li still running, he might even come back to cause trouble.
If Meng Fan knew that he was returning, he would definitely come looking for trouble. At that time, Meng Fan himself wouldn't be able to guarantee his own safety, much less protect Li Ying.
Meng Fan didn't say anything about what he had experienced. It wasn't just the events of the past nine years which had been difficult for ordinary people to accept.
More importantly, there were too many people who wanted to kill him during this period of time. If he let those people know his position, then the consequences would be dire.
After Li Ying left, Meng Fan received a series of examinations. After confirming that there were no problems, he quickly went through the discharge procedures.
During this period of time, when they were taking X-rays, those films frightened these doctors quite a bit. A dozen or so metal objects remained in Meng Fan's body, making it hard for them to imagine how a person would usually live with so much metal on him.
After leaving the hospital, he rushed all the way to Liu Xu's company. Although this was only his first day at work, it seemed like everyone in the company knew Meng Fan. No one stopped him, allowing him to smoothly walk into Liu Xu's office.
"Boss Liu!" Don't you want to say something? " Meng Fan stood in front of Liu Xu and said with a frown.
Meng Fan didn't have any feelings for Liu Xu at the beginning; he was just curious about her character.
However, after what had happened today, he actually felt somewhat disgusted with Liu Xu. He had been a child since he was a child, and what Meng Fan felt most disgusted with was being cheated. Liu Xu had obviously touched Meng Fan's bottom line.
Originally, it was a very simple task for the bodyguards, but now that he thought about it, it was just a pretext for Liu Xu to do so.
If nothing major happened, how could a sniper even appear in order to kill Liu Xu? This was the country, not to mention the strict firearms control, it was even harder to obtain powerful firearms.
When Liu Xu was being hunted down, all of this happened. If it wasn't for some powerful person controlling her from behind, Meng Fan wouldn't have been able to understand why she would make such a big move.
"Although I'm grateful that you saved my life, we are currently in an employment relationship!" As Liu Xu said this, her face didn't change at all, it was still the same zombie face that hadn't changed in ten thousand years, as if she was talking about what to eat.
"You dare to bully people this much? Although I have signed an agreement with you, I think it can be annulled? " Meng Fan was not lightly angered by Liu Xu. Normally, he wouldn't be so angry.
But right now, Meng Fan always had the feeling that he was being cheated. Liu Xu might have already known this would happen, and the reason why she signed any kind of agreement with him could have been a trap for him.
"Sure! The agreement clearly states that the penalty is 500,000 gold. I don't mind letting you read it again. " As Liu Xu said this, she took out an agreement from her drawer and pushed it in front of Meng Fan. It seemed as if Meng Fan was really going to confirm the agreement.
"Are you trying to set a trap for me!?" Five hundred thousand is indeed not a small amount to me, but I have a way to not pay the penalty of five hundred thousand! "
As he said this, Meng Fan pulled out a dagger from nowhere and played with it with it with one hand. His eyes were sizing up Liu Xu, as if he was considering where to start.
"Alright!" Liu Xu did not dare to offend Meng Fan, especially with Meng Fan's current condition. No matter how you looked at it, Liu Xu did not feel that Meng Fan was joking.
"I don't know who wanted me dead to hire bodyguards, but it's also because there's a tender project recently, and the opponent is very strong, and it's said that they have underworld backgrounds. For safety reasons, I was introduced by Liu Yu, and found you!" As Liu Xu spoke, she looked at the employment agreement she had signed with Meng Fan.
Only then did he continue, "If you want to leave now, I can pay you and don't pursue the responsibility of violating the contract!"
"So you don't know who's after you?" After listening to Liu Xu's explanation, Meng Fan put away his dagger and asked. Although he didn't believe what she had said, he still asked.
"Of course! If I knew who was going to kill me, would I have risked my life? " As she spoke, Liu Xu's face became cold. It seemed that after all this, she was also a bit angry, but as a woman, she couldn't change the current predicament.
Strength was everything, and Meng Fan was well aware of this principle. Even if tens of thousands of years passed, the rules of this world would still remain the same.
Although some people would say that with money, even if a person was rich enough to be killed by a penniless hoodlum, the result would still be the same. Money was just a type of advantage that could only be used, it couldn't completely determine anything.
"What are you going to do next?" Meng Fan had only known Liu Xu for a day, but he knew that she did not need to lie to him about this. Not to mention that she was a woman, so there was no need to lie to him.
Saying that, Meng Fan turned around and walked to the sofa at the side. He didn't take the agreement from Liu Xu's desk, instead, it seemed like he was discussing with her about how to deal with the situation.
"There's no other way!" As Liu Xu spoke, she put away the employment agreement she had with Meng Fan and continued to process the other documents as if she didn't care about these.
Meng Fan, on the other hand, could hear a few hints of helplessness from the other party's words. Then he thought about it and roughly guessed Liu Xu's thoughts.
Against such an opponent, if it was a purely commercial confrontation, Liu Xu didn't have to worry about anything. However, on other levels, she seemed very weak. Otherwise, she wouldn't have hired him to protect her!
"If I help you resolve this matter, will our agreement end earlier?" Thinking about this, Meng Fan stood up and walked to Liu Xu's desk. With a serious face, he looked at her and asked.
"You have a way?" Hearing Meng Fan's words, Liu Xu's face revealed a few emotions. It seemed like she was really tempted; to her, this was not only a matter of personal safety, but also related to whether she could win the bidding project. To her company, this was also a qualitative leap.
"I have my methods. Just tell me if you can end the agreement in advance!" Meng Fan looked straight at his opponent as he spoke.
"Sure! If you can solve this problem completely, the contract can be lifted at any time! You don't have to follow me every day! " As Liu Xu said this, she put down the document in her hand and solemnly looked at Meng Fan.
"Alright!" Receiving Liu Xu's promise, Meng Fan turned around and walked out of the office. He didn't even ask who Liu Xu's opponent was.
Liu Xu looked at Meng Fan's leaving figure with a serious expression. She had never considered letting Meng Fan solve her problem. From the beginning, hiring Meng Fan had only been a safeguard for her.
Now that the restaurant had been assassinated, she started to think more highly of her opponent. She even worried from the bottom of her heart about the other party's next actions against her.
On the other side, Meng Fan left Liu Xu's company and gave her a call, asking her to investigate the opponent she was talking about.
From his point of view, since it was such a big bidding project, it was naturally not hard to find out. Moreover, he was very clear about Liu Xia's and his background, if they didn't even have this little bit of information, they would have already died.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Fan went home to see his parents. He knew that the two of them had found a suitable house and were preparing to move. He was very excited. After having dinner with his parents, he received a call from Liu Xia. She said she was waiting for him outside her house.
When Meng Fan stepped out of the room, he saw Liu Xia standing under a street lamp not too far away, holding a document in his hand.
"Here is the information you want. There are a total of five companies involved in the bidding project. Of them, only three have the biggest chance of winning. Here are the information on the five companies!"0
Liu Xia said as he handed the folder in his hand to Meng Fan. Perhaps it was because he had spent the past nine years living in the dark, but as he spoke, he carefully observed his surroundings.
Meng Fan sometimes really admired Liu Xia's intelligence gathering ability. Every time he needed something, the other party would always get whatever he wanted as soon as possible.
However, when Liu Xia looked around, he couldn't help but laugh, "There's no need to be so cautious, this isn't a battlefield!"
