bodyguard against fate

Chapter 53 The Big Fool

Seeing this, Chen Ergou and the shadowy figure had no time to run and could only surrender!

The police officer leading the team approached the shadowy figure.

"Wu Renxing, you're under arrest!"

The captain ripped off the mask from the shadowy figure, only to see an unexpected face...

"You're not Wu Renxing?"

"I knew Angkor wouldn't call me anything good!"

The bald man sighed.

It turned out that after Wu Xing had suffered several losses, he was afraid of something unexpected, so he simply sent his underling, Baldy, to test the waters. Sure enough, there were people behind the scenes who were capable, and Baldy was sacrificed by him.

What exactly is going on?

Chen Ergou was completely bewildered. This transaction was extremely secretive, and very few people knew about it from beginning to end. How could the police be here?

"Ergou, you won't blame me, will you? I called the police," Wu Meng said.

"My dream is you..."

Chen Ergou was speechless with surprise. He couldn't understand why Wu Meng would do this. He was about to become a millionaire, and Wu Meng was about to become a young mistress. Who would give up millions in dowry and choose to call the police?

It turned out that Wu Meng didn't know that the person she was trading with was her own brother. With a background in finance, she was very sensitive to money and always felt that Chen Ergou's gold bars were of dubious origin. So she went to the hospital to find Feng Weida and asked him where the gold bars came from. Feng Weida told her the truth.

The gold bars were bought twenty years ago. Although the transaction records may no longer exist, making it impossible to prove that the gold bars belonged to Lao Zheng, Chen Ergou's actions were still theft. It was not, as he claimed, that whoever discovered it first owned it.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Feng Weida countered with a question to Wu Meng.

Wu Meng hesitated, unsure whether to tell him the truth: "Tell me, for example, if Chen Ergou took these gold bars and sold them, do you think that's right?"

"Impossible, Er Gou would never do such a thing!" Feng Weida said confidently. "Although Er Gou is a bit of a scoundrel, stingy, womanizer, petty, greedy, two-faced, ignorant, bullying, and a petty thief... he's very timid. Stealing so many gold bars would get him sentenced to decades in prison, he wouldn't dare."

"What if—and I mean, what if—he dared to?"

"If he dares, I'll be the first to report him to the police station!"

"Why? He's your brother!"

"Wu Meng, you have no idea how pitiful Lao Zheng is. These gold bars are his only hope. He's been locked up in a mental hospital for twenty years, lost his relatives, and his family is broken up. He's already suffered enough. Er Gou even bullies people like this. Is he even human?"

Hearing this, Wu Mengxin felt a pang of sympathy: "That's really tragic. If I saw my brother, I'd make him return that gold bar too!"

"Actually, Mr. Wu is also a pitiful person—"

"My brother?"

This was the first time Wu Meng had ever heard of such a claim.

To outsiders, Wu Renxing is a successful businessman with a happy family. The only flaw is that he has no children, but he is by no means pitiful.

"Mr. Wu's ambitions were sky-high, but his fate was as fragile as paper. If he could control his desires, he wouldn't have ended up getting a divorce."

Wu Meng disagreed: "If you ask me, my brother's character is completely unworthy of my sister-in-law. Their marriage was purely a stupid mistake made by my sister-in-law."

This was the first time Feng Weida had ever seen a sister like this: "You also hope that Mr. Wu will get a divorce?"

"My brother has always been a selfish person. He only cares about himself and never helps anyone else. My job was actually secured for me by my sister-in-law, even though my brother was against it... Hey, what did you mean earlier? You've been hoping they'd divorce for a long time, haven't you?"

Feng Weida made a slip of the tongue: "Mr. Wu is my benefactor, of course I don't think that way. I just feel sorry for Mr. Wu. A good person like Mr. He is hard to find even with a lantern. Mr. Wu may not be able to meet him again in the future."

Feng Weida was stubborn. He Xiuli had told him that Wu Renxing had hired him as a driver to take advantage of him and make him a scapegoat, but Feng Weida still thought good things about Wu Renxing. Some people just won't turn back until they hit a brick wall, and Feng Weida was one of those people who wouldn't turn back even after hitting a brick wall.

"Now you have your chance!" Wu Meng said half-jokingly, "My brother is divorced, and you're the person my sister-in-law trusts the most. Otherwise, why would she give you so much money!"

"I won't take this money. I'll return it to her," Feng Weida muttered. "Also, don't make jokes like this. Mr. He is the person I respect the most. I wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts about him."

"Do you have any improper thoughts about me?" Wu Meng suddenly asked.

"You're my brother's woman, you wouldn't dare have anything like that!"

"Chen Ergou and I are completely innocent, there's nothing between us, how did I become his woman?"

"In my heart, you two have been married for several years now—"

"You—" Wu Meng was speechless, because no matter how hard you try, you can't change other people's prejudices and stereotypes about you. "If we get divorced, will you marry me?"

Wu Meng stared into Feng Weida's eyes and asked.

"That's even less likely," Feng Weida said. "The monks at Lingfeng Temple said you've never been divorced, only widowed. If you're still single, there's only one possibility: Er Gou is dead. I can't bully a widow—"

The thing Wu Meng least wants to hear in her life is the widow trope!

"You deserve to be single your whole life!"

"I'm not single, I've been married before, and my wife loves me very much."

"Then why did she run off with someone else?"

Wu Meng was so angry she was furious, and she didn't care about reopening Feng Weida's wounds.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Feng Weida looked like a defeated rooster.

"She just gave her love for me to someone else—"

When people start deceiving themselves, they can be even more ruthless than con artists!

She's already fallen in love with someone else, so how can she still call it loving you?

"If I were your ex-wife, I would leave you too!"

Why?

"Because you have low emotional intelligence."

"Isn't emotional intelligence just a scam? Anyone can say a few nice things."

Feng Weida disagreed. Er Gou was known for his high emotional intelligence, but what happened? He still couldn't even touch Wu Meng's hand.

"Emotional intelligence isn't about lying; it's about putting yourself in the other person's shoes and considering what they need most," Wu Meng said. "For example, if a woman has just been dumped by her husband, and you say he did the right thing, aren't you just being a complete fool?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Weida was struck dumb!

Isn't that describing me?

Feng Weida suddenly remembered what He Xiuli had told him about Wu Renxing—

"Wu Renxing is using you, and may even be trying to frame you."

"How could Mr. Wu lay a hand on his own wife... Mr. He, are you mistaken?"

"So you saved me these times because of Wu Renxing?"

"Mr. Wu kept telling me to protect you. I don't have any other skills, but he pays me such a high salary, so I can only repay him with my life..."

Now Feng Weida finally knows why he was fired!

Turns out I was the biggest fool!
