C54 On board a pirate ship (1/2)

The money needed to treat Cloud's illness was like coal in a snowstorm. I nodded my head, ”Thank you Boss Li for your concern. I will definitely do my best.”

”Alright, then let's make a deal. From now on, you're my man, so just follow me.” Li Shun said in satisfaction: ”Brother, don't worry, follow me.

I nodded silently and said nothing.

”Right.” Li Shun suddenly remembered something, he walked to the desk, took out a card from the drawer and handed it over to me: ”Brother, this is the card that I gave you last time, inside it is the same 200 thousand, consider it my thanks for saving Qiu Tong.”

I pushed the card back to him, ”I can't accept this card. Boss Li can accept me, but I am already extremely grateful to have received such high treatment from you, so how can I accept this money. Furthermore, I have saved autumnum, and autumnum has also given me blood transfusions to save me.

Li Shun insisted on giving me the card: ”Then, how about we change the way things are going to be, considered as brother's living expenses for brother, or a greeting gift, that should be okay, right?”

”One cannot accept something without merit. I have just arrived and haven't done anything yet, so how could I take this? Such a heavy gift is truly unworthy of me. Otherwise, I would feel very uneasy in my heart.” I continued to refuse. I estimated that the money I had could support the treatment cost of Cloud for a month. Cloud had already passed the initial stage of rescue, so it didn't cost that much anymore.

Seeing that I was determined to not accept it, Li Shun nodded his head and put the card back into his pocket: ”Alright, since that's the case, then I won't force myself.”

I took a deep breath, knowing that I should be right in my shoes now. Although Li Shun called me ”brother”, I must understand myself well, I must know my own status, if I were to take someone's money I must do something for them. That thirty thousand yuan of monthly salary is not for me to beat up anyone, it is not for me to raise trash.

I stood at attention, respectfully bowed towards Li Shun and said: ”I have just arrived. I do not understand many things and am not familiar with them. I hope that Boss Li can give me some pointers.”

Li Shun seemed to be very satisfied with my performance, and said in a serious tone: ”You entered the role very quickly, very good, brother seems to be a very understanding person, I know what to do, if that's the case, then I will not pretend to be cool anymore, from today onwards, I am your boss, you are my assistant, my bodyguard, wherever I go, you will follow me, except where I do not want you to follow.

”As for the details of the work, I will slowly arrange them for you. I will also slowly let you understand them. ”However, you must remember this: To me, you must be a hundred percent obedient. A hundred percent loyal!”

Li Shun said the last sentence in a heavy tone.

”Yes, boss. Absolutely obey. Absolutely loyal!” I repeated myself in a clear voice, my heart filled with sorrow. Damn, I'm going to be the Big Boss Black's bodyguard in the future. But I had to do it for the clouds. I needed money.

”The laws of the country, the rules of the house, and the laws of the house. I have my own family rules too,” Li Shun said in a deep voice, ”In the future, there will be people who will tell you my rules, and you will slowly understand that everyone must follow them. You must not say anything that you shouldn't say, and you must not do anything that you shouldn't listen to. You cannot be an exception! ”

”Yes — yes!” I replied immediately.

”If anyone were to betray me, if they try to take advantage of me while I'm out of the picture, the consequences would be dire! No matter who he is, even my sibling will not do! ” Li Shun then said, ”Regarding this, I must explain it to you in advance. Have you heard it clearly!”

Li Shun's tone was a bit cold and filled with killing intent.

I nodded. ”Boss, I understand!”

”Mm …” ”That's good!” Li Shun's tone eased up for a bit, then he patted my shoulder and said, ”Of course, Yi Ke, I still trust you. I believe that you can do very well by following me!”

”Thank you for your trust, Boss, I hope you can nurture me more!” I replied respectfully.

”Someone come!” Li Shun shouted.

The door to the office was pushed open, and the two men in black suits from that day walked in. They stood at attention with their hands hanging down, ”Boss …”

Li Shun pointed at me, and told them: ”Er Zi, Xiao Wu will be my personal assistant from tomorrow onwards. You two must listen to him, cooperate well with him, understand?”

”Yes, boss!” Both of them agreed in unison. Then, they nodded and greeted me, ”Greetings, Erigeron — — Please take care of me!”

I don't understand why Li Shun trusted me so much from the start and entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility. Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner and don't have any background in Xinghai, or maybe it's because I saved Qiu Tong and rejected his generous rewards, making him look at me in a new light.

Of course, with Li Shun's capabilities, since he dared to use me, he would naturally have his own trump card.

I nodded towards Er Zi and Xiao Wu: ”Greetings brothers, we will take care of each other from now on!”

Li Shun looked at me again: ”Yi Ke, do you know how to drive? Do you have a driver's license? ”

I said, ”I can drive, I have a driver's license!”

”Oh …” Li Shun nodded, and said to Er Zi: ”The car keys — —”

Er Zi hurriedly took out his car keys and handed them over to Li Shun, who handed them over to me: ”There is a black Passat downstairs, it will be yours from now on, you can use it to get to work … Of course, when I'm out, you take my car. ”

I took the key and nodded.

Li Shun said to Xiao Wu, ”Later on, bring Yi Ke to Unit 906, Unit 3, seat B, Wanda Plaza. Yi Ke will live there from now on! Go to Old Wang for the key. ”
