Nanshan County People's Hospital

Chen Zaiguang held his eldest son, Chen Rongfei, repeatedly asking, "Rongfei, are you hurt anywhere? Tell Dad, and Dad will have the doctor check you out!"

Chen Rongfei had recovered from his initial shock. Although his body was still trembling, his tone was much calmer, unlike when he was pulled out of the school security room by Sun Hongbing, where he was completely stunned.

No matter how Sun Hongbing called out to Chen Rongfei, Chen Rongfei's eyes were fixed on the classmates lying in pools of blood at the school gate, and he didn't react at all. Sun Hongbing was a retired veteran who had seen blood on the battlefield. He knew that Chen Rongfei was frightened, so he immediately took Chen Rongfei to the county hospital and notified Chen Zaiguang to come.

"Dad... I'm fine now. How are my... classmates?" Chen Rongfei looked at Chen Zaiguang, hoping to hear some good news from his father.

Chen Zaiguang remained silent, not immediately answering his son's question. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Rongfei, why don't you take a nap first? I'll tell you when you wake up, okay?"

"dad!"

"Take a nap, okay? Your mother has taken your younger brother and sister to your grandparents' house. She'll be here soon. Listen to your father, don't ask any questions," Chen Zaiguang comforted his son gently, not telling him the truth as he was recovering from the shock.

"Okay," Chen Rongfei obediently lay down on the hospital bed. His hospital bed was a private ward with special care. Outside was the visitor room. At this moment, Chen Dong was sitting on the sofa, facing Sun Hongbing.

After comforting Chen Rongfei, Chen Zaiguang came out and said to Chen Dong and Sun Hongbing, "Rongfei is asleep. Let's go outside and talk."

Chen Zaiguang was the first to walk out of the special care ward, followed by Chen Dong and Sun Hongbing. Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xuewen, who were on guard at the door, saw Chen Dong and the others come out. Wang Xuewen did not say anything, but opened the door and went into the special care ward to keep an eye on Chen Rongfei.

"Tell me, what happened?" Chen Dong pursed his lips and looked at Sun Hongbing very seriously.

Sun Hongbing sorted out his thoughts before saying, "This was a group of premeditated robbers. Today, I drove to the county high school to pick up Rongfei and the others from school, just like usual. These robbers were squatting in the alley across the street from the school. At first, police cars patrolled by but didn't check them at all, so I let my guard down. It was my fault!"

"The school bell rang to let out, and Rongfei called out to me as he came out of the school gate. I turned around to look at Rongfei, and in that instant, the four robbers rushed towards me with guns drawn. It was Rongfei who noticed something was wrong and reminded me, and only then did I react!"

Sun Hongbing did not shirk his responsibility. He truthfully told what he knew and the mistakes he had made. Chen Dong did not blame Sun Hongbing, but looked at Zhang Tiejun, who had been listening to him.

Zhang Tiejun gritted his teeth, walked over, glanced at Chen Dong, and said, "This month's bonus and allowances will all be deducted. Do you accept the punishment?"

"I accept the punishment, captain!"

Zhang Tiejun said sternly, "If you do this again, you'll be discharged from the team!"

"clear!"

"I promise it won't happen again!"

Sun Hongbing had a resolute face and a firm gaze. He was not angry at the punishment he received from Sergeant Zhang Tiejun, because he knew that if it were on the battlefield, his negligence at the school gate might not only have cost him his life, but also harmed the comrades who had entrusted their backs to him!

Although they are no longer soldiers, as bodyguards, being able to hear and see in all directions is an essential skill. Knowing that the four thugs squatting at the entrance of the alley opposite the school were suspicious, they did not take precautions and were almost ambushed. If this were to get out, it would be a disgrace to Zhang Tiejun, the old squad leader!

Do you believe these four assailants deliberately attacked you, or deliberately attacked the students?

After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, Chen Dong asked Sun Hongbing again. Considering the situation at the school gate at the time, Sun Hongbing answered with certainty, "I can say with absolute certainty that they came for me and Rong Fei, and you could even say that they came specifically for Rong Fei!"

"Kidnapping and kidnapping?" Chen Zaiguang asked.

"Very likely," Sun Hongbing said, "Their target was very clear. They opened fire on me immediately. After I shot down one of the robbers and covered Rong Fei as we rushed into the guard room, the robbers went berserk and started firing at the crowd!"

"It seems our Chen family has attracted too much envy lately," Chen Dong frowned. "Brother, you need to talk to Secretary Tian about Lianzhai. The village militia training can't stop. I'll donate some motorcycles to the village militia brigade so they can patrol inside and outside the village and keep an eye out for strangers!"

Chen Zaiguang frowned and nodded. Chen Dong then said to Sun Hongbing, "Captain Zhang has deducted all your bonuses and allowances for this month. This is punishment for your negligence. Are you resentful?"

"No, I have no complaints," Sun Hongbing replied firmly, standing tall.

Chen Dong reached out and patted Sun Hongbing on the shoulder. "Although Captain Zhang deducted your bonus and allowance for this month, as your boss, I highly approve of your performance. You didn't back down at the crucial moment and protected my nephew Rongfei. Therefore, I will reward you with an additional 50,000 yuan!"

"Boss..."

Chen Dong patted Sun Hongbing again, "Don't refuse, this is what you deserve. When you signed the contract with me, I told you that if you stepped up in a critical moment, I would give you a high reward afterwards. This 50,000 yuan is the best reward for your performance!"

Sun Hongbing glanced at the old squad leader Zhang Tiejun before saluting Chen Dong. Chen Dong smiled and patted his arm before walking downstairs with Chen Zaiguang.

"Squad leader," Sun Hongbing called out to Zhang Tiejun with a smile after Chen Dong and the others left. Zhang Tiejun rolled his eyes at him. "You can still laugh? If this were still in the army, you'd definitely be running a 50-mile cross-country race with weights on today!"

"You've learned your lesson. You're a veteran who's retired from the battlefield. We're protecting Boss Chen, and he's given us such good treatment, so we have to do our best. I don't want to be the one collecting your corpse next time, understand?"

"clear!"

"Get out of here. You're allowed to leave work early today. Go home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep," Zhang Tiejun said, then told Sun Hongbing to go back to Lianzhai on his own.

"Hehe, thanks, squad leader. I'll head back now. Tell Vice Squad Leader Wang I'm going back first," Sun Hongbing said with a smile as he left.

"Get out of here, get out of here!" Zhang Tiejun laughed and waved for Sun Hongbing to leave.
