From a young age, Murong Lian had always been spoiled by Murong Wei, who would comply with her every whim without fail.
Who would have thought that this time Murong Wei would shake his head and firmly say, "No way, I won't accept a free bodyguard. If you want one, you'll have to pay for it! Besides, with Mo Ming around to protect you, I feel at ease; I really don't trust anyone else."
"How can you feel at ease? Just look at him; he looks like an actor from Island Nation. I can't stand having someone like that following me around all day; it's too disgusting." Murong Lian recalled Mo Ming's lewd expression from earlier and immediately shot him an angry glare.
Seeing Murong Lian glare at him, Mo Ming shrugged and replied, "What's wrong with being an Island Nation Actor? Did he offend you? I think you just watch too many Island Nation romance films, which is why you feel so repulsed."
"You, you bastard..." Murong Lian thought for a moment but couldn't come up with a retort, so she said, "Anyway, I don't care; I absolutely refuse to have him as my bodyguard! I'll pay for the bodyguard myself; I don't believe I can't find someone more pleasing to the eye!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming waved his hand nonchalantly and laughed, "Whatever. Since Miss Murong doesn't want me, go find another expert. But since I'm back, I shouldn't just come back for nothing. Murong Old Man, this is your territory; you should show a little courtesy too."
"That's not a problem; I've already made arrangements. I'll take you there now!"
Without further ado, Murong Wei drove his BMW with Mo Ming inside while Murong Lian drove off in her red Ferrari from the International Airport.
...
Murong Wei had already booked a room at the Phoenix Grand Hotel, the most upscale hotel in Nanhua City, to welcome Mo Ming.
As a top-tier hotel, the Phoenix Grand Hotel not only boasted luxurious decor but also first-class service. When Murong Wei and Murong Lian arrived at the hotel entrance and parked the car, two well-dressed valets immediately rushed over and respectfully stood by the car, waiting for their "guest" to exit.
After Mo Ming and the others got out of the car, the two attendants promptly got in and drove Murong Wei's and Murong Lian's car to the parking lot.
"The Phoenix Grand Hotel is indeed impressive. No wonder it has become the most upscale hotel in Nanhua City. It's truly extraordinary. I wish this hotel were mine," Mo Ming exclaimed sincerely.
"Look at you, so poor and pitiful, you must have never seen such a luxurious place. This hotel has shares from my Murong Family..." Murong Lian hadn't finished speaking when Mo Ming interrupted, "I'm joking! I was talking about the waitresses, not the hotel. Just look at how beautiful they all are. If the hotel were mine, then the beauties would be mine too. Just imagine, being surrounded by countless beauties every day—it's a feast for the eyes! You wouldn't even need to eat to feel full."
Following Mo Ming's gaze, a woman in a waitress uniform approached, swaying her alluring figure. Mo Ming stared intently at her, seemingly quite appreciative.
Seeing this, Murong Lian snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"Mr. Murong, this way please. The food and drinks are ready for you," the waitress said politely. When Murong Wei nodded, she quickly walked ahead to lead the way while Mo Ming continued to stare at her backside.
Upon reaching the Presidential Suite, the waitress opened the door and invited Murong Wei and the others inside before gently closing the door behind them.
"Wow, such a big room with just the three of us? Isn't that a bit too lonely? Can we call some beauties over to join us for dinner? Having beauties around makes dining so much more enjoyable," Mo Ming suggested.
"You shameless man! All you do is flirt with women. I'm really curious how you've managed to survive this long without getting beaten up," Murong Lian retorted.
"Don't worry about me, Sister Lian. I've had countless women and have never been hit before; maybe it's because I'm just too handsome! Even men can't bear to lay a hand on me!" Mo Ming replied confidently.
He walked over to the table and saw that twenty-nine dishes had already been prepared, each emitting a delightful aroma that stirred his appetite.
Ignoring any sense of decorum, Mo Ming sat down and began eating. "You two should sit down too; don't be polite! Grab whatever you like; no one will say anything to you. Eat up before the food gets cold."
Murong Wei wasn't surprised. Although it was his first time interacting with Mo Ming, he had already learned about Mo Ming's character from old comrades, so he didn't find him rude. However, Murong Lian was still irritated by their earlier misunderstanding at the airport and found everything about Mo Ming unappealing; his behavior now only added to her frustration.
"Truly a rogue, without any manners at all. Didn't your father teach you about etiquette? I suppose not; someone like you wouldn't understand such things!" Murong Lian laughed.
Murong Wei frowned and said, "Lian'er, don't be rude. No matter what, Mo Ming is a guest I invited back. You can't keep targeting him like this."
"Don't get me wrong, my dad taught me everything except for etiquette. Those formalities you keep going on about must be exhausting for you. Just listening to them makes me tired. I really don't understand the point of living like this; you might as well just crash into a wall and end it." Mo Ming could hear the sarcasm in Murong Lian's laughter. Wiping his mouth with a napkin, he said, "Murong Old Man, I can see you're holding something in. If you've got something to say, just let it out. Once you're done, I'll continue eating."
"You really know how to read the room; nothing escapes your notice! Inviting you back this time was definitely the right choice," Murong Wei said directly. "The main reason is for my daughter Murong Lian's safety. I've been in business for many years and have made countless enemies. In the business world, I'm not afraid of their schemes; what I fear most is my daughter's safety. Therefore, I hope you can protect her and ensure that no one harms her."
"Dad, just look at him—he looks like a rogue himself. How can he protect me? Let's find someone else instead..."
"Shut up!" Murong Wei's expression changed suddenly as he shouted angrily. "Mo Ming is someone I went to great lengths to borrow from an old comrade; how can you mess around like this? Let me tell you, if you dare cause trouble for Mo Ming, just wait and see how I deal with you."
"Dad..." Murong Lian wanted to argue but seeing Murong Wei's serious expression, she obediently closed her mouth, feeling wronged inside. With no way to oppose him, she shot a fierce glare at Mo Ming.
Seeing that Murong Lian had been reprimanded, Mo Ming felt pleased and said cheerfully, "You really mean business! Alright then, since you're my dad's old comrade, I'll reluctantly help you out this time. Just make sure you've prepared what I asked for."
"I've already had someone prepare what you need. After we finish eating, I'll have Lian'er take you around; there's no rush. The things are ready for you whenever you want to look at them. Besides, it's better to build some rapport with Lian'er; misunderstandings are easily cleared up among young people," Murong Wei said with a smile, nodding in satisfaction.
"Ugh, who wants to build rapport with this rogue... Dad, just so you know, after we finish eating, I'm going straight home and not going anywhere else."
"Don't mess around! If you dare go straight home after dinner, then don't come back!"
"Hmph! You'd rather help an outsider than help your own daughter? Am I still your daughter?" Murong Lian huffed.
“Murong Old Man, you make a good point. It's rare to hear you speak so favorably about me. Here, let me toast you with a drink!” Mo Ming happily raised his glass and clinked it with Murong Wei's before downing it in one go.
“Go on, old man. I know you have something to say. While I'm in a good mood, you should hurry up and tell me; I might just agree without thinking twice,” Mo Ming said, keenly observing Murong Wei's expression, knowing he had more to discuss.
“Nothing escapes your notice. Indeed, I didn't just bring you here as a bodyguard. My daughter, Lian'er, has started her own advertising company and has done quite a bit of advertising for our Murong Family real estate business. Therefore, her company possesses a lot of our internal information,” Murong Wei explained. “However, recently, her company has been infiltrated by a corporate spy. Not only has this affected many of Murong Real Estate's businesses, but many of Lian'er's creative ideas have also been appropriated and modified by competitors.”
Mo Ming lit a cigarette and took a puff before smiling and saying, “So you want me to help you eliminate the mole?”
“Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I believe with your skills, that corporate spy will soon reveal themselves. You can handle this matter freely; Lian'er will assist you wholeheartedly,” Murong Wei said, turning to Murong Lian. “I hope you won't act up and will help Mo Ming. Understand? We need to find the mole hiding within us quickly; our stock prices are dropping too low to delay any longer.”
“Understood,” Murong Lian replied. This matter concerned the interests of the Murong Family, so she couldn't afford to mess around. However, she still had some doubts about the capabilities of a mere twenty-year-old: “But what can this Island Nation male actor do? I'm not very convinced of his abilities. Perhaps we should seek professional help; that might be faster.”
“Why look for anyone else? The Mo Ming right in front of you is a professional,” Murong Wei praised. “Don't let his age fool you; he is a versatile talent. In ancient times, he would be the top scholar excelling in both civil and military affairs.”
Hearing such praise from Murong Wei, Mo Ming felt a bit embarrassed. He cleared his throat and chuckled, “Alright, no need to flatter me. You can trust me with this matter; not only will I find the mole, but I'll also uncover the criminal records of those who hired them. By then, not only will your Murong Family’s stock prices rebound, but you'll also eliminate an enemy.”
“Ha ha! Just as I thought! I'll be waiting for your good news!” Murong Wei laughed heartily.
Suddenly feeling the urge to relieve himself, Mo Ming stood up and prepared to head to the restroom. As he stepped out the door, Murong Lian called out, “Can you at least show some manners? You can't just leave the table without saying anything about where you're going!”
“Stop nagging! Are you my mom or my wife? I’ll do as I please; it's none of your business!”
