Chapter 1323: An Unreasonable Request
"Benefactor, I'm really sorry, Xiaoxiao has this temperament... sigh!!"
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao finally went out, Du Bin awkwardly smiled at Jiang Feng.
"It's okay."
Jiang Feng never took Su Xiaoxiao's attitude to heart, and now he won't mind it either.
Du Bin sighed and walked over, sitting next to Jiang Feng.
However, in doing so, he also noticed the coffee cup in Jiang Feng's hand, and he sighed inwardly again.
Su Xiaoxiao knew about it, so how could he possibly not know? He could only sigh at the tricks fate plays!
"What do you want to say to me?"
Jiang Feng looked at Du Bin and asked.
"Benefactor, frankly speaking, I'm not here to say anything, but rather to ask for your help..." Du Bin hesitated to speak.
"You don't need to call me benefactor. I just told Mo Zixun earlier, my surname is Jiang, and my first name is Feng. You can just call me by my name." Jiang Feng said calmly.
"Alright then, Young Master Feng... since you've talked with Miss, you must be friends. I have a request..." Du Bin still felt awkward, Jiang Feng originally came to seek help from Miss, but now he was the one asking for help.
"Just say it straight."
"It's like this, Young Master Feng, as you know, although Miss came to Jiangdong to hold this concert and it was a complete success, she has been in danger all along."
Du Bin said: "Not to mention the distant matters, just look at yesterday's incident as an example! I still haven't figured out the origins of those assassins, but I speculate it's either a competitor in the entertainment circle, some enraged noble sons she rejected, or it may even be some people from her family..."
"Regardless of where they come from, they failed once, there are bound to be more attempts! I'm worried they will make another move during the upcoming fan meeting and signing session!"
"By then, Miss will have a signing event at a huge square, jam-packed with people, and security measures will be hard to make airtight, giving them a chance to act."
"With Xiaoxiao and my strength, even if we put in our full effort, it's challenging to ensure Miss's absolute safety. But you, Young Master Feng, are different, you are truly a master far beyond us, so I would like to ask you to help protect Miss once more that day..."
Jiang Feng listened to Du Bin finish speaking, and raised an eyebrow: "You want me to be Mo Zixun's bodyguard for a day?"
"Yes!" Du Bin nodded sincerely: "This is really the only way, since the enemy is in the shadows and we're in the light, we need multiple safeguards to ensure absolute safety..."
Jiang Feng thought about it, Mo Zixun agreed to help him immediately after he asked her, so it is only right to step in if she faces a crisis.
Moreover, deep down, Jiang Feng doesn't want such a beautiful girl to face mortal danger again.
It's just that his family is also waiting for news, Jiang Feng can't neglect either side.
"When is the signing event?" he asked.
"It's tomorrow!" Du Bin replied: "Miss won't stay long in Jiangdong, tomorrow there's a fan meeting first, then the signing event will start."
Jiang Feng said lightly: "I just told Mo Zixun, the thing I asked for is urgent too, if she comes back to help me solve it, I can consider protecting her for a day."
Upon hearing this, Du Bin was immediately overjoyed!
"Young Master Feng, did you really agree? Miss will certainly be very happy when she hears about this!"
He, being a martial artist, is most aware of martial artists' temperaments.
Generally, the more powerful the martial artist, the worse their temper, they're not usually easy to persuade, no matter the cost.
Du Bin once considered spending a fortune to hire a legendary martial artist to protect Mo Zixun, but, first, he couldn't trust them, and secondly, people of that level rarely cared for money, external possessions couldn't move them.
But now, Jiang Feng agreed without him having to say much, truly showing goodwill.
While they were chatting casually in the room, soon, there was another knock on the door.
Then, Mo Zixun came in through the door with a flushed face, followed closely by Su Xiaoxiao looking utterly bemused.
Du Bin was very surprised: "Miss? How did you come back so quickly?"
Mo Zixun came up with incredible speed, his seat wasn't even warm yet, and they were already back!
Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips: "Exactly! After Miss went down, she answered a total of three questions from the media, all briefly, then said she was feeling unwell, and came up!"
"Um..."
Du Bin knowingly glanced at Jiang Feng, naturally understanding that Miss hurried up because of Jiang Feng, but he didn't expect Miss to already value Jiang Feng this much, even at the expense of conducting a press conference perfunctory, which is quite contrary to her usual calm and steady demeanor.
Though Mo Zixun indeed returned quickly for Jiang Feng, how could she bear Su Xiaoxiao's remarks, making her look so unreserved!
Her face was thin, so immediately she chided Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense! I indeed feel unwell, and Brother Feng knows it was just a sudden situation, you'll clear things up with the journalists later."
"Brother Feng? Who's Brother Feng?!" Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
"Ahem, Xiaoxiao, let me formally introduce you, this is Young Master Feng, full name Jiang Feng!"
Du Bin immediately pointed to Jiang Feng to introduce Su Xiaoxiao.
Now Su Xiaoxiao even doubted her hearing.
Young Master Feng???
These two, one calls that bumpkin "Brother Feng," the other calls him "Young Master Feng"???
"What... what's going on here? He's just a bumpkin, is he worthy?! Why are you..."
"Xiaoxiao, you must not be rude to Brother Feng!"
Mo Zixun, unusually, made a stern face: "Brother Feng is my benefactor, you must be polite to him going forward and no more murmurs, or I will be upset!"
"Miss—" Su Xiaoxiao felt aggrieved, it's rare for Mo Zixun to show anger at her, and it made her feel rather suffocated inside.
Seeing this, Du Bin quickly mediated: "Miss, Xiaoxiao, let me tell you some good news!"
"Just now, I spoke with Young Master Feng, and as long as Miss aids him with his entrusted task later, he will stay to accompany you for tomorrow's signing event and provide full protection!"
"This way, I can finally be at ease, Miss will surely be safely guarded!"
"Really?" Mo Zixun listened intently to Du Bin, her face beaming, and she looked at Jiang Feng in surprise.
Jiang Feng sighed: "Consider it as my gratitude for your help, you're such a wonderful girl, I really don't want you to face any more mishaps."
Mo Zixun's cheeks flushed more, her heart was more stirred, her eyes filled with gentle smiles: "Brother Feng, thank you, your kindness is unforgettable to me, and I will cherish it forever!"
