Chapter 1859: Leader Ling of the Bodyguard Agency
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Qingyuan pulled her hand and changed the topic. "Let’s go to the escort agency first. It’s getting late."
"Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go to the escort agency first." Zhou Han immediately nodded vigorously. He did not dare to look at Gu Yundong’s expression. He strode out of the alley and led the way.
Gu Yundong took a deep breath. She felt that when she returned, she had to have a good chat with Yunshu and talk about life.
Although the Flying Tiger Escort Agency was not the largest escort agency in Anyi County, it had the best reputation. The bodyguards inside were all very skilled.
Zhou Han was a merchant and would occasionally hire bodyguards to protect him along the way, so he was quite familiar with the Flying Tiger Escort Agency.
As soon as he entered, he greeted the escort in the courtyard. His attitude was friendly, as if he was the host.
After entering the central room, he asked the escort who had come to entertain them, "Where’s your leader?"
"Boss Zhou, do you have business again? Are you looking for our leader to escort you?" The bodyguard asked with a smile. He also saw Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong beside him. Looking at their clothes, he guessed that this business was related to these two people.
Zhou Han laughed and said, "Don’t we have business? Hurry up and call for him."
The bodyguard immediately turned around and ran into the inner room. Not long after, he came out with a man in his forties.
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had thought that the escorts were all burly, thick-browed, and fierce-looking, just like the Hong family’s escort agency.
However, not only did the person in front of him look refined, but he was also quite thin and weak. At a glance, it was easy to mistake him for a weak scholar.
Furthermore, he was wearing a long robe and did not look like a bodyguard, but a scholar.
Zhou Han, who was beside him, immediately stood up and cupped his hands at the middle-aged man. "Boss Ling, long time no see."
Boss Ling spoke in a soft voice and was especially polite. "So it’s Boss Zhou. Please take a seat. I just received a packet of good tea recently. Boss Zhou, you’re knowledgeable. Would you like to taste it for me?"
Zhou Han said politely, "Of course, but there’s no hurry. I’ll introduce two people to you first." He pointed at Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong. "This is Young Master Shao, and this is Mrs. Shao."
"Shao?" Boss Ling was startled for a moment and asked uncertainly, "I heard that Lord Shao and Princess Yongjia from the capital came to Anyi County yesterday. These two..."
Zhou Han smiled and said, "As expected, Boss Ling is smart. It’s them."
He was also shocked when he heard the news. Although he knew that these two were not ordinary people, it was shocking that Gu Yundong was suddenly conferred the title of Princess Yongjia.
Upon hearing that, Boss Ling immediately knelt down. "Greetings, Lord Shao and Princess Yongjia."
He had guessed it. After all, the two of them were unfamiliar faces. Not only that, but they were also dressed like rich families. Their Flying Tiger Escort Agency had been rooted in Anyi County for many years. Not to mention anything else, the rich families in this county knew them.
The other party’s surname was Shao, and it coincided with the rumors that were spreading like wildfire yesterday. Only then did he have a guess, but he didn’t expect it to be true.
As soon as Boss Ling knelt down, the others standing in the hall naturally followed suit.
Shao Qingyuan quickly got them up. "There’s no need to be so polite, Boss Ling. We came here this time to discuss something with Boss Ling."
"Lord Shao, please speak."
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong looked at each other and said in a low voice, "Can we talk in private?"
