My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

"Hmm? Is there something else?" Chu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly.

"It’s a bit suspicious, but we haven’t found anything else out of the ordinary," Wu Yongzhi said. "Still, it just doesn’t feel right. Cars don’t usually circle around on this road several times."

He was a former special forces soldier, after all, so he was quite skilled in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

"I understand," Chu Feng nodded.

"By the way, were you three the only ones from your unit who were discharged at the same time?" Chu Feng asked.

"Huh? Discharged at the same time?" Wu Yongzhi was a bit stunned by Chu Feng’s question.

"I mean the comrades who came from the same unit as you, the ones you went through hell and back with," Chu Feng said.

"It wasn’t just the three of us. About ten of us got out together. But some went back to their hometowns to take care of their elderly mothers, and others went to other provinces," Wu Yongzhi replied.

"Can you contact them? Have them come here to work as my bodyguards. I can offer each of them a salary of twenty thousand. If they have elderly mothers at home that make it inconvenient, I can provide a relocation allowance. Room and board are fully covered," Chu Feng said.

"This... President Chu, are you serious?" Hearing this, Wu Yongzhi was completely stunned. He clearly hadn’t expected it.

When they first came here for the interview, there were five of them, but Su Miaoke only hired three. There wasn’t much going on here, so they just needed a few people to keep watch and didn’t require a large team.

Now that Chu Feng was saying he wanted to hire more, how could he not be excited?

"Of course," Chu Feng replied.

"I can try, but a few of my comrades have parents who are critically ill. They might not be able to leave," Wu Yongzhi said, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll cover all the medical expenses for critically ill parents and their pension costs. Everyone’s salary will be increased to twenty thousand. As the team leader, I’ll give you fifty thousand a month. However, I need absolute obedience, just like in the military. Can you do that? When the time is right, I can teach you some Ancient Martial Arts," Chu Feng said.

Hearing this, Wu Yongzhi replied without hesitation, "President Chu, rest assured. I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

For them, Chu Feng’s decision was undoubtedly a godsend.

Wu Yongzhi himself had been worried. Many of his comrades, the ones he’d been through hell and back with, were struggling with the high medical bills for their elderly mothers.

He was giving two-thirds of his own monthly salary to subsidize his brothers-in-arms.

The same went for Xiao Liu and Xiao Pan. Although their situations were a bit better, they also gave away a portion of their salaries each month to help their other comrades.

"Alright then. Go make the arrangements. The sooner, the better," Chu Feng said.

After Chu Feng drove into the factory complex, Su Miaoke asked, a bit confused, "Honey, why are you suddenly hiring so many people? And doubling their salaries, too."

Su Miaoke didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Chu Feng’s move.

"I think it’s time we started training some bodyguards. We don’t have to worry about ourselves, but what about our parents, Su Jun, and Chu Hao? What if they run into some kind of danger?" Chu Feng said.

When Su Miaoke heard this, she immediately agreed.

"You’re right, honey. You’re always so thoughtful," Su Miaoke said, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Especially after they had personally witnessed the poisoning of He Guangming and Huang Xuan, Su Miaoke felt even more certain that Chu Feng was doing the right thing.

For the two of them, this amount of money was practically nothing.

"Honey, I think you could even give them a little more on the salary, like more benefits or something. After they’ve worked a certain number of years, give them a house. That’ll make them work even harder," Su Miaoke said.

"Don’t worry about that. But it’s not a good idea to give too much right at the beginning. We can make adjustments later based on their performance," Chu Feng said.

After all, he hadn’t even met them yet. He needed to see them in person and evaluate them first.

In truth, the reason Chu Feng suddenly wanted to hire people, and even teach them Ancient Martial Arts, was entirely because he sensed a looming crisis. He had only just gone with Zhao Quan to the Cyan Dragon Mountain Villa to find Tang Qian, and not long after, he was already being watched.

He didn’t know where these threats were coming from, but they were like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

Back in their room, Su Miaoke went to take a shower while Chu Feng continued refining medicine.

The Foundation Establishment Liquid was still somewhat useful for someone at his current cultivation level, and Su Miaoke would need it for her own Cultivation.

Therefore, Chu Feng planned to spend the coming days refining these Medicinal Liquids.

The night passed without incident. Chu Feng spent the entire night refining medicine.

After consuming several dozen tons of medicinal herbs, he managed to refine another ten drops of the Foundation Establishment Medicinal Liquid.

Early the next morning, Chu Feng received a call from Jiang Tao.

"Younger Brother Chu, I’m not disturbing you, am I?" Jiang Tao said with a laugh.

"Not at all. What’s up, Brother Jiang?" Chu Feng asked.

"Nothing major. I’m having my wedding ceremony tomorrow, so I wanted to invite you, Brother Chu, over for dinner tonight. We’ll do some prep in the evening, and then fly to Jiangdong later tonight," Jiang Tao said.

"Sure. Just contact me when it’s time, and I’ll drive over," Chu Feng said.

"No need, I’ll arrange for a car to pick you up. The usual place?" Jiang Tao asked.

"Yeah, the usual place." After Chu Feng spoke, they hung up.

"Honey, what is it?" Su Miaoke had heard Chu Feng talking on the phone outside the room.

"It was Jiang Tao. He said he’s having someone pick me up tonight. He’s getting married tomorrow," Chu Feng said.

"Then take me with you! I want to go see what his wedding is like," Su Miaoke said excitedly.

This was because she and Chu Feng were also planning to hold their wedding at the end of the year.

"Alright, we’ll go together," Chu Feng said.

Just as the two were getting ready to go for a run, Wu Yongzhi approached them.

"President Chu, you asked me to find some men yesterday. Three of my brothers have already arrived, and four more should be here before noon. Would it be convenient for you to meet them?" Wu Yongzhi asked.

"Of course. Have them come over," Chu Feng said with a nod.

Soon, Wu Yongzhi returned with three men. All three were wearing matching camouflage uniforms. They were powerfully built and looked very sturdy.

"This is President Chu, and this is President Su," Wu Yongzhi introduced.

"President Chu, President Su!" The three men stood in a neat line and saluted Chu Feng and Su Miaoke.

"You were all in the same unit as Xiao Wu?" Chu Feng asked.

"Yes, sir!" the three men replied in booming voices, their presence formidable.

Su Miaoke watched them and nodded in satisfaction. Their Essence, Qi, and Spirit were all excellent. More importantly, they were quite handsome.

"The three of you, attack me," Chu Feng said.

Upon hearing this, the three men looked at each other in astonishment, wondering if they had misheard.

"This..." The three men looked toward Wu Yongzhi.
