A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 146: The Unfed Dog

Duan Rong looked closely in the light and saw that the two men seemed to be just unconscious. Unlike those gang members who died tragically, they were not injured.

What's more, they were wearing the clothes of the servants of Yuanshun Escort Agency.

These two servants were the ones who had hidden in the grave and pointed out Duan Rong's identity to Yu Wenlong before. However, later on, they kept hiding on the outskirts, and the lighting in the grave was dim, so Duan Rong never noticed them.

Duan Rong drove the car with a lantern, and Ruan Fengshan held Ruan Jing in his arms and sat in the car. The escort car swayed out of the mass grave and headed towards the official road.

Ruan Fengshan held Ruan Jing in one hand and stroked the stainless steel box containing one thousand kilograms of gold with the other hand. At this moment, he was a little confused. In his heart, was the one thousand kilograms of gold more important, or was the young son in his arms more important?

The escort vehicle quickly turned into the official road and immediately drove much smoother.

Ruan Jing was a child after all, and he quickly forgot his previous fear. He started to become a chatterbox and asked questions here and there.

Ruan Jing seemed very interested in Duan Rong and asked him many questions.

"Where are you from? Do you prefer beef or chicken?..."

Duan Rong patiently answered them one by one.

"Brother Duan Rong, did Brother Zhou An ask you to save me?" Ruan Jing suddenly blinked his big eyes and asked seriously.

After hearing this question, Duan Rong's heart skipped a beat.

Ruan Fengshan immediately grabbed Ruan Jing's arm and asked, "Jing'er, did Zhou An say anything to you?"

"Brother Zhou An asked me to write something, saying that if I wrote it, you would come to save me."

"Where did you get asked to write it?" Ruan Fengshan asked with a serious expression.

When Ruan Jing saw Ruan Fengshan's face change, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Ruan Fengshan noticed the fear on Ruan Jing's little face, and his heart softened. He loosened his hand that was holding his arm, and said in a gentle voice, "Jing'er, don't be afraid! Tell Daddy, where is Zhou An, and what did he ask you to write?"

"It's in that... dark... broken... dirty place..." Ruan Jing said hesitantly. He didn't know that the place was called a cave.

Ruan Fengshan's eyes suddenly turned cold. The two unconscious servants in the escort car were actually Zhou An's trusted men who usually followed him on his work.

Ruan Fengshan had already determined that Zhou An was behind this matter, and now that Jing'er said it, it was even more confirmed.

But Zhou An actually met Jing'er directly in the cave, which means that he had no intention of letting Jing'er live from the beginning.

Ruan Fengshan's eyes flashed with a ferocious light like a wild beast. "This poisonous dog is utterly inedible!"

The escort vehicle was driving on the dark official road when suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of it. Duan Rong was shocked to see that the man was wearing night clothes and had his face covered.

"Don't be afraid, it's Mr. Luan!" Duan Rong was about to take action when Ruan Fengshan's voice came from behind him.

When Luan Jingfu saw that Ruan Fengshan and Duan Rong were both sitting in the escort car, and Ruan Jing was in Ruan Fengshan's arms, he moved and jumped onto the escort car!

Luan Jingfu was sitting on the escort vehicle, clasping his fists towards Ruan Fengshan and saying, "Boss, I'm late!"

"It's okay. Didn't it alert the yamen runner who gave the signal?"

"No!" Luan Jingfu answered affirmatively.

Ruan Fengshan nodded and said to Duan Rong, "Go around to the east gate. We will enter the city from the east gate!"

Duan Rong agreed. It seemed that Ruan Fengshan and the others also saw the cross-shaped sky lantern flying up from the top of the city wall.

Duan Rong drove the escort car, turned to the fork in the road, and headed towards the east gate. "Boss, who is it that is trying to harm the young master?" Luan Jingfu asked Ruan Fengshan while sitting in the escort car.

"It's someone from the Hard-Life Gang!"

"The Hard-Luck Gang?"

In the escort vehicle, Ruan Fengshan told Luan Jingfu roughly what had happened.

Luan Jingfu's eyes swept across the box on the escort vehicle, and then stared at Duan Rong's profile.

Duan Rong was just a trainee escort, but he was able to escape from his plans time and time again, and even Liu Ao might have died in his hands.

And this time, this boy managed to escape from danger and rescued Young Master Ruan Jing!

This is a bit too weird!

Luan Jingfu's eyes gradually showed a hint of viciousness. Ruan Fengshan, who was sitting next to him, obviously noticed the look Luan Jingfu gave Duan Rong.

Luan Jingfu suddenly realized that Ruan Fengshan was paying attention to him, so he tilted his head slightly and shifted his gaze away from Duan Rong.

The escort vehicle entered the city from the east gate and drove along West Street. At dawn, it drove directly into the backyard of Yuanshun Escort Agency from the side of an alley.

At this time, Ruan Jing had fallen asleep on Ruan Fengshan's shoulder.

As soon as the escort vehicle entered the backyard, Ruan Fengshan threw the two unconscious servants on the vehicle to the ground and ordered the two guards at the door, "Keep an eye on these two dead dogs!"

The two guards clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Ruan Fengshan turned his head, looked at Duan Rong, and said, "Duan Rong, go tell Mr. Xiao! Tell him to release all the other prisoners and only keep Zhou An."

"Yes!" Duan Rong clasped his fists and left.

"Mr. Luan, please deposit the gold in the sealed vault." Seeing Duan Rong leave, Ruan Fengshan looked at Luan Jingfu and said.

Only three people have the key to the sealed vault in the backyard. In addition to Ruan Fengshan himself and Xu Shouxian who is in charge of the finances, there is another key in the hands of Luan Jingfu. This shows that Ruan Fengshan trusts and reliance on Luan Jingfu.

Upon hearing this, Luan Jingfu pulled the cart and prepared to go to Fengku. He had just taken a few steps when Ruan Fengshan suddenly called him again.

Luan Jingfu stopped and looked back. Ruan Fengshan took two steps forward, looked at him, and said, "I know that you and Duan Rong don't get along. But this time he made a contribution and saved Jing'er. I beg you to do him a favor. Don't mess with him again in the future."

Luan Jingfu was shocked. He didn't expect Ruan Fengshan to point it out directly and even plead for Duan Rong. He was in awe of this helmsman. His face changed immediately and he clasped his fists and said, "I dare not!"

Ruan Fengshan saw Luan Jingfu's panic, smiled slightly, and said, "After saving the gold, Mr. Luan can go back and rest. I will take care of the aftermath!"

"Yes!" Luan Jingfu responded respectfully, then drove the escort cart away.

Ruan Fengshan carried the sleeping Jing'er in his arms and went to Ma Chunying's room first.

Ever since Ruan Jing got into trouble, Ma Chunying felt deeply guilty and cried every day. When she saw Ruan Jing returning safely, she was so happy that she burst into tears. Ruan Jing had been asleep, but when she woke up, she hugged Ma Chunying and refused to let go.

Ruan Jing was brought up by Ma Chunying since he was a child. Ruan Fengshan was busy with affairs and sometimes he could not see Ruan Jing often. Moreover, Ruan Fengshan was usually strict and Ruan Jing was a little afraid of him.

This child had gone through life and death, and only when he saw his biological mother did he let out all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart...

Ruan Fengshan walked out of Ma Chunying's room. He wiped the tears from his eyes. His expression, which had been somewhat moved, suddenly became ferocious. He gritted his teeth and strode away, saying, "What's the point of keeping a dog that bites even its owner?"
