bodyguard against fate

Before Wu Meng introduced Xiao Yu to Feng Weida, Wu Renxing already knew that the two were best friends. Wu Renxing pretended to introduce Xiao Yu to a job and found out about her situation: she was 27 or 28 years old, not too old, with an unstable job, having changed jobs four times in two years, and also had an unreliable boyfriend, Zhang Hao!

Zhang Hao's family is well-off, but he has one flaw: a bad temper and a suspicious nature. He controls Xiao Yu very tightly. The two had a fight and broke up recently. If his sister were to introduce a potential partner to Feng Weida, it would most likely be Xiao Yu. Things were developing step by step according to the script designed by Wu Renxing. However, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Yu was pregnant, but it turned out to be a happy accident.

The main reason for Zhang Hao and Xiao Yu's conflict was the child. Zhang Hao didn't want to become a father so early and wanted Xiao Yu to have an abortion, but Xiao Yu insisted on giving birth. In a moment of impulsiveness, they separated. They broke up and got back together many times. Zhang Hao thought this time it was just a joke, and he would try to persuade Xiao Yu again after her anger subsided. However, he didn't expect Xiao Yu to be serious this time and find someone else so quickly. If that's the case, who knows when Xiao Yu and Feng Weida met? There's even a chance the child isn't his. Zhang Hao was so angry because he felt like a thousand horses were stampeding through his head.

That day, when the three of them were drinking together, Wu Renxing put his phone on vibrate and then reminded Xiaoyu that her phone was ringing. Xiaoyu unlocked it to check, but there was no call. Wu Renxing asked Wu Meng if she was going to the restroom, and Wu Meng, drunk, said yes. Wu Renxing asked Xiaoyu to go with her so they could keep an eye on each other. He took the opportunity to grab Xiaoyu's phone and, while the two of them were in the restroom, secretly added a contact to Xiaoyu's phone. The profile picture and name were exactly the same as Zhang Hao's in her contacts. Then he waited for the two of them to return.

A few hours earlier, after calculating the time when He Xiuli and Feng Weida would arrive at the hospital, Wu Renxing used the fake Zhang Hao's WeChat account to send a message to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, I've been in a car accident. I'm on the third floor of the Central Hospital. Before I die, I want to see you one last time."

When Xiaoyu received the message, she saw Zhang Hao's profile picture and had no suspicions. In addition, she was so concerned that she didn't notice that there were no previous chat records for this number, and rushed to the hospital.

Then, Wu Renxing anonymously called Zhang Hao and told him about Xiaoyu and Feng Weida's hangover, asking Zhang Hao to go to the third floor of the hospital, which led to the famous scene of Zhang Hao catching them in the act.

Feng Weida never expected that he would once again play the lead role in a crime-solving drama, except that this time he was the one being caught!

Wu Renxing had hit Zhang Hao's psychology right. He sent Zhang Hao another message, telling him that Feng Weida was on the basement floor. Sure enough, Feng Weida, who was still searching for He Yong in each room, saw Zhang Hao rushing over angrily and quickly told He Xiuli to hide to the side.

"You bastard, you slept with my wife!"

Zhang Hao immediately used a classic street fighting move—the flying kick.

This time, Feng Weida was prepared and dodged.

"Brother, listen to me—"

"Who the hell is your brother?" Zhang Hao asked, seeing He Xiuli behind Feng Weida. "Your girl?"

"Watch your mouth!"

Feng Weida could endure any injustice he might suffer, but He Xiuli and her husband had shown him kindness and support, and he wouldn't allow others to say such things about him.

"I can let you go," Zhang Hao said, "but since you slept with my wife, I have to sleep with yours too, then we're even!"

"What are you saying? I'm not him..." Even He Xiuli couldn't stand it anymore. She had inexplicably become Feng Weida's wife and was even forced to sleep with Huang Mao. What was all this about? He Xiuli's face turned red and white with anger.

"Mr. He is my boss, don't talk nonsense!" Feng Weida corrected Zhang Hao.

"Whether it's your wife or your boss, you're getting the better deal," Zhang Hao said, getting increasingly outrageous. "You've slept with Xiaoyu countless times, while I've only slept with her once. I'm still the one who's losing out!"

"Mr. He, you can go now."

Feng Weida knew that this blond-haired man was unreasonable and was afraid that he would hurt He Xiuli if they started fighting. He Xiuli also knew that she couldn't help him here, so she told Feng Weida, "You wait here, I'll go and call Renxing."

Little did they know that all of this was orchestrated by Wu Renxing, who was secretly observing the spectacle and waiting for his chance to strike.

"Fine, you're quite the protector of a flower. She's so old, I wouldn't even want her!" Zhang Hao said. "I'm willing to pay compensation, fifty thousand yuan!"

"I have no money."

The situation is different now. Before, it was just a misunderstanding, and Feng Weida couldn't explain it clearly, so he couldn't stand up straight and could only take the beating. Now, Zhang Hao is spouting nonsense, extorting money, and directly threatening He Xiuli. Feng Weida can no longer back down, otherwise he would be a derelict bodyguard.

"No money, huh? Then I'll castrate you!"

Zhang Hao came up again and fought desperately.

Just then, all the lights on the first basement floor suddenly went out, plunging the area into complete darkness.

"Ah—" He Xiuli screamed in fright, not knowing what had happened.

"Mr. He, Mr. He?"

Feng Weida's first reaction was to protect He Xiuli.

Using the faint light coming from the stairwell, Wu Renxing spotted He Xiuli's location and silently approached her.

"You bastard, come out here, I'll kill your whole family!"

Zhang Hao's voice echoed in the corridor.

He Xiuli became more and more frightened as she listened. She backed away while reaching out to feel around. Suddenly, she felt a dark shadow approaching her.

"Who?"

He Xiuli had barely uttered a word when a shadowy figure covered her mouth, pushed open a door behind him, and dragged her inside.

The shadowy figure was Wu Renxing.

A dozen minutes earlier, Wu Renxing had intended to kill He Xiuli on the basement level, but then discovered there were multiple security cameras there, making it easy to expose himself. How could he possibly turn them all off? A sudden idea struck him. He started a fire in one of the rooms, near the cameras, and then called the duty room to report a short circuit and fire on the basement level, urging them to cut off the power immediately. The on-duty doctor checked the cameras and saw flames leaping high, unable to discern the source of the fire. In a panic, without much thought, he quickly arranged for someone to cut off the power in the main distribution room and then came to check the basement. The township hospital had never experienced anything like this before, and the on-duty doctor, fearing liability, simply shut off the backup power as well.

As luck would have it, just as Zhang Hao came to cause trouble, the power suddenly went out, plunging everything into darkness. Taking advantage of the chaos, Wu Renxing dragged He Xiuli into a room. Perhaps because he was too nervous, the rope in his hand fell to the ground. Wu Renxing didn't have time to pick it up, and in his haste, he used his elbow to strangle He Xiuli.

He Xiuli immediately felt short of breath and kicked her legs wildly. In this situation, being choked is almost impossible to escape. She would lose consciousness in one or two minutes and die in three to five minutes. If she didn't die, it would be even more troublesome. Brain asphyxiation could cause He Xiuli to be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life.
