Chapter 2601 Bodyguard
Hai Tong chatted with her daughter for almost half an hour. Zhan Yin got a little jealous and said from the side, "Wife, you talked with our daughter for longer than me. I'm going to say that our daughter is biased."
Haitong gently pushed him away and said to her daughter with a smile, "Beibei, you should get some rest. Mom is hanging up now. Your dad is getting more and more like a child as he gets older."
“My dad just can’t stand seeing my mom and us get along. He wants my mom to think about him 24 hours a day.”
Caught off guard by his daughter, Zhan Yin said matter-of-factly, "Your mother is the one I'll spend my whole life with, so of course I want her to think about me 24/7. Alright, let's stop talking, you should go and get some rest."
Beibei wanted to say that it was still a long time, but in the end she reluctantly hung up the phone.
Long Ting didn't get back to his home in H City until 10 p.m.
He lives in a large villa with a garden-style courtyard. He likes the scenery of Fengchen Mountain Villa, so his residence also adopts that garden style. It is very beautiful, but it also requires a lot of people to maintain it.
His bodyguard team was divided into two shifts. The bodyguards who did not go out with him stayed in the villa to clean and manage the flowers, trees, rocks, fountains and water in the garden.
After he moved in, the villa's walls were raised and many cameras were installed, providing a 360-degree view with no blind spots.
The trees and rockery in the yard are all far from the wall, to prevent others from climbing over the wall and hiding in the trees.
Rows of nails were laid at the base of all the walls, pointing upwards.
If someone were to risk their life by scaling the wall and jumping down, they would be injured by the iron nails.
In addition to the nails, some plants were also planted. Some of these plants were medicinal, while others were highly poisonous. Accidental contact or ingestion could lead to poisoning.
Long Ting learned skills from his grandmaster and others for more than ten years. After his grandmaster passed away, his master officially took on the responsibility of being a master and taught him everything she had learned in her life. How much he could learn was up to him.
Chu Jiu and Jun Fei also followed him in learning.
The young masters of the Jun family also knew a little about medicine and even poisons. They had an aunt who was skilled in both medicine and poisons, and they learned a little from her since they were young.
Cheng Lingling didn't have high expectations for her son and nephews; she just wanted them to know how to protect themselves and not be easily tricked or harmed when they were out in the world.
Ever since Long Ting founded the Longteng Group, many scoundrels have tried to scale the walls and sneak into his villa, but none of them have fared well; they were injured by iron nails and poisoned.
It was inevitable that they would be discovered.
Long Ting never showed his face to handle such matters; his butler would take care of them. Those petty scoundrels and those who tried to find out his background all ended up in prison.
Then, everyone in H City knew that the home of the boss of Longteng Group was full of traps and mechanisms, and anyone who went in without someone inside to guide them would die.
For the past two years, no one has tried to break into Long Ting's villa.
Chu Jiu followed Long Ting into the house.
After entering the house, she first poured Long Ting a glass of warm water.
"Young master, what's in this bag?"
The ninth day refers to the gift Zhan Chi gave her.
Long Ting said, "Take a look at what's inside."
Chu Jiu opened the bag, took out the contents one by one, and said, "Young Master, it's bird's nest and skincare products."
"Since it's a gift from Aunt Liu and Beibei, you can accept it and eat or use it yourself."
“The skincare products that Beibei prepared for you are definitely for women, and I can’t use them either. If you don’t use them, you can throw them away, but that would be a waste of Beibei and Aunt Liu’s good intentions. Are you willing to do that?”
I couldn't bear to part with it on the ninth day.
If Beibei finds out, she will be very sad and upset.
She watched her little sister grow up, and she couldn't bear to make her sad.
"Give the bird's nest to the young master."
"This is top-quality bird's nest, very good."
Long Ting said, "You know I don't like to eat it, why are you giving it to me? I already said it's for you, so just eat it. Women's skin will be much better if they eat more bird's nest."
Long Ting looked up at Chu Jiu.
Despite being exposed to the wind and sun while she was by his side, her skin remained in excellent condition. This was partly due to the quality of her skincare products; her aunt's family ran a skincare business, and her aunt's own research and development of skincare products were considered the best. Many wealthy women and young ladies purchased their products from her aunt.
Every time he returned to Fengchen Villa, he would ask his second aunt for some skincare products, some for him and some for Chu Jiu.
Yes, Long Ting also cares a lot about his appearance. He has been handsome and cute since he was a child, and he can't afford to become ugly after he turns thirty, so he pays great attention to taking care of himself and uses skincare products as needed.
Then, every time I went back to the old house or to the Zhan family, I would receive a lot of beauty and health supplements such as bird's nest.
He really didn't like eating that stuff, so he gave it all to Chu Jiu. Actually, everyone was just using him to feed it to Chu Jiu.
In the eyes of the elders, he and Chu Jiu had long since become one.
"I've eaten enough."
Chu Jiu whispered something.
She put the item back in the bag. In the young master's words, it was for her. She had accepted it when she was at the Ouyang family, so she had to keep it. She couldn't just throw it away after she turned around and left.
"It's late, you should go and get some rest."
Long Ting told her to go and rest.
Chu Jiu stood still, saying, "Young Master hasn't rested yet."
How could she go to rest first?
Long Ting said with a hint of helplessness, "You're back home now, it's safe, so just relax."
He remained silent on the ninth day.
She knew her home was safe.
But she got used to it.
She was used to only going out after the young master had rested.
She wouldn't rest immediately; she would first patrol the area to make sure there were no potential dangers before returning to her room.
She lived on the same floor as Long Ting.
Originally, Chu Jiu refused Long Ting's arrangement.
She felt that the second floor belonged to Long Ting's private territory, and that she could stay in the maid's room on the first floor. Long Ting said that she was his personal bodyguard and could not be too far away from him. She had to live on the same floor as him and next door, so that she could know immediately if anything happened to him.
They would move into the second floor of the main house on the ninth day of the month, staying in the room next to Long Ting's.
Every night before she went to bed, she would walk to the wall connecting to Long Ting's room and listen quietly for a while. Only after confirming that there would be no noise from Long Ting's room would she go to bed.
Even when I sleep, I don't sleep very deeply.
She has been a light sleeper since childhood, initially due to her childhood experiences, and later due to her grandfather's influence.
She has excellent hearing; she can detect any noise very quickly.
Long Ting picked up the glass of warm water she had poured for him and drank it.
After putting down the cup, he got up, picked up the bag Zhan Chi had given him, and went upstairs.
Chu Jiu then followed him upstairs.
When he entered the room, Chu Jiu followed him in. His room was unguarded for her, but she went in not with any ulterior motives, but to check if anyone was hiding in his room.
After checking and confirming that no one was in the room, Chu Jiu turned and left, gently closing the door behind her.
