The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 676: Chapter 678: Fuming Inside

On the road, Lin Dong hesitated several times looking at Chu Ge, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Although Chu Ge was looking ahead, he could still tell that Lin Dong was stealing glances at him. When Lin Dong stole another glance, Chu Ge couldn’t help but ask, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Lin Dong moved his lips, still unsure how to start.

He was secretly annoyed at himself. At home, he had thought about it millions of times and even figured out how to phrase it, but now facing Chu Ge directly, he found himself unable to speak.

Chu Ge glanced sideways and seeing Lin Dong’s conflicted expression, couldn’t help but tease, "Is it that difficult to say what you want to say? So difficult that you can’t even start?"

Lin Dong also disliked this indecisive side of himself. He slapped his forehead, braced himself as if gathering a great deal of courage, took a deep breath, and then said to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, I’ve thought it through, I want to learn ancient martial arts from you."

That simple sentence seemed to drain all the strength from Lin Dong, who now almost leaned weakly there, his hopeful eyes fixed on Chu Ge.

He feared that Chu Ge would be angry about his previous reckless issues and wouldn’t want to take him in.

Chu Ge was a bit surprised by Lin Dong’s quick decision, "You’ve made up your mind so quickly?"

Lin Dong smiled sheepishly, scratching his head, "After I went back, I couldn’t figure it out on my own, so I told Sister Liu Yue about it. She kept persuading me, saying that even as an ordinary person, dangers are everywhere, which is no different from learning or not learning ancient martial arts. On the contrary, with ancient martial arts, there’s an extra layer of protection when facing these dangers. I think what Sister Liu Yue said makes a lot of sense, so I want to give it a try. One shouldn’t remain mediocre all their life.

This society’s ugliness and kindness I have already seen, I want to see another world, one that exists alongside ours but remains untouchable."

Lin Dong spoke earnestly, his hopeful eyes still on Chu Ge, inquiring, "Mr. Chu, would you still take me in?"

Chu Ge pondered for a moment. He had anticipated that Lin Dong would agree eventually; it was just a matter of time, but he didn’t expect him to agree so quickly.

He smiled and nodded, "Of course, if you learn ancient martial arts, it’s like having an extra arm for me, which is very beneficial to me."

Lin Dong didn’t feel like a pawn from Chu Ge’s remarks; on the contrary, he suddenly found his life’s purpose and even felt a bit happy to hear Chu Ge say he still had use.

Because no one had ever told him that before. No one had ever thought he was a useful person.

Lin Dong nodded vigorously, "Master above, please accept my..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop!" Chu Ge interrupted Lin Dong before he could finish, raising his hand, "Don’t call me master, the responsibility is too heavy, I’m not suited to be a master."

Lin Dong was puzzled; if not taking disciples, then what is this...

"You can just call me as usual. We are the same age, you can call me Chu Ge, or Mr. Chu if you prefer."

Chu Ge explained.

Seeing Chu Ge’s insistence, Lin Dong had no choice but to give up. He nodded, "Mr. Chu then, directly calling your name feels awkward."

Chu Ge smiled and did not continue the conversation. He glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed a car had been following them.

At this time, Lin Dong also noticed the car, "Mr. Chu, is that car behind us following us?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Yes, it’s the person from outside the villa."

"Who exactly is this person and what does he want?" Lin Dong asked puzzledly.

Chu Ge shook his head lightly, he had just arrived in the Capital City, and didn’t know many people. Anyone monitoring and following him like this was definitely not a friend but someone with a grudge against him.

But he had just arrived, and the people with grudges against him...

Chu Ge thought of Shao Gang and Lin Zhao.

Shao Gang was involved with the Nangong family, the man in the mask, the mastermind behind setting up Old Master Nangong, but these people would definitely not follow him so openly.

Such a low method, they would not resort to.

That left Lin Zhao, but now Lin Zhao was in prison, so according to the age of the person following... Chu Ge thought of Lin Zhao’s father, or another of Lin Zhao’s elders.

If you think about it, that makes sense.

Still, Chu Ge didn’t understand what following him around would accomplish.

"Let’s just ignore him, pretend he doesn’t exist." Chu Ge didn’t regard him as a threat. noveldrama

Lin Dong nodded, and out of curiosity asked, "Mr. Chu, when do you plan to start teaching me ancient martial arts?"

The furniture had been prepared, and even the stone procurement sources had been contacted by Jian Chunqiu, the gambling stone field could open at any time.

He planned to start working at the gambling stone field from the day it opened.

Seeing his eagerness, Chu Ge couldn’t help but smile, "Wait until tomorrow. Come here tomorrow, and I’ll help you unblock your Ren and Du meridians first."

The two continued talking, and the car arrived at the farmer’s market.

However, today at the entrance of the farmer’s market, there were many more people than usual.

Chu Ge curiously asked, "Is there an event here today? Why has the crowd suddenly increased so much?"

Lin Dong explained, "It’s past nine o’clock now, the busiest time for the farmer’s market, so this crowd is normal. We came early and left late before, so there weren’t many people at the entrance when we left."

Chu Ge nodded, not saying much more. He turned back and indeed, the person following them parked the car to the side and walked after them.

The eyes of the two met in the air, but Lin Zhang, being observed by Chu Ge that he was被 following him, was not panicky; instead, he was very calm.

This was a public place, he could go wherever he wanted, as long as he didn’t conflict with them, they couldn’t control what he did.

Thinking this, Lin Zhang stepped towards the inside.

The farmer’s market was indeed crowded at this time, and Lin Zhang couldn’t help but comment: Isn’t Chu Ge a distinguished guest of the Nangong family? Why would he come here to buy furniture? What good stuff can you get from a farmer’s market?

Through his observation over the past few days, he noticed Chu Ge didn’t look like a distinguished guest of a major family at all besides living in a mansion; in other ways, he was no different from a poor dickens.

Eating at roadside food stalls, wearing worn clothes, even the clothes Chu Ge wore today wouldn’t cover the cost of his own coat.

Just thinking about such a person got his son locked up, he was boiling with rage!
