Chapter 137: Shanghai Fantasy
Now that things have reached this point, even if he were still foolish or dazed, he could see the current situation clearly. Actually, if he and Wu Hao hadn’t grown up in the same village, he wouldn’t have been able to fully understand Wu Hao’s identity transformation yet. He wouldn’t have dared to entertain any thoughts otherwise.
After all, he was just a small-time thug, far from being a true desperado. To put it bluntly, he was involved in petty thefts and minor crimes. Even though he had joined a relatively powerful gang of thieves, it was nothing compared to the real underworld.
Moreover, he had been scared out of his wits by Wu Hao’s bizarre methods earlier. Now, hearing that Wu Hao had hired more than a dozen bodyguards at once, he realized that Wu Hao had money, people, and strange combat skills. Even an idiot would know that someone like him couldn’t afford to provoke such a person.
So, he didn’t care about saving face anymore. He didn’t even have the heart to make threats behind his back. All he wanted now was to leave and enjoy himself for a while since he still had 500,000 yuan!
“Let’s go! Let’s head to the city first. This place has nothing for us, and I’ve been sick of it for a long time!” Yao Kaiyin called out to his followers, and they all left town in a van.
Two days later, Wu Xiaoxiao, as usual, had just stepped out of the school gate with her good friend Wen Wen when two female bodyguards in plain clothes approached her. They spoke respectfully to Wu Xiaoxiao, “Miss, Mr. Wu sent us to take you home.”
“Xiaoxiao, are they the bodyguards your brother hired for you?” Wen Wen whispered in Wu Xiaoxiao’s ear. Although Wen Wen had grown accustomed to having a wealthy friend like Wu Xiaoxiao, seeing that her brother had hired bodyguards made her feel something entirely different.
To most people, there are different levels of wealth. Ordinary rich kids might just flaunt their money with sports cars, but having dedicated bodyguards means they are not just ordinarily wealthy.
