Chapter 183 Bodyguard

Chapter 183 Bodyguard
It is true that a good man is often bullied and a good horse is often ridden. The way of dealing with people and the world that our Chinese ancestors have passed down for thousands of years may not be universally applicable, but at least in most cases, it is of reference value.

After this attack, An Rushong found that he seemed to be too kind-hearted in the past. All he thought about every day was how to develop his career, how to expand his network, and how to set up a safety barrier for himself. All these thoughts were actually passive defense, and they were all ways of increasing his own safety factor by striving to protect himself.

Facts have proved that this overly conservative strategy has, to some extent, made oneself appear to be a weakling, because only the weak will first think of defense when faced with a crisis, while the strong will always fight back at the first opportunity.

As for the weak, they will naturally be bullied, because no one can see your means of fighting back, so everyone can try to bully you.

This attack seemed simple and even not very threatening, but from An Rushong's perspective, this incident was the biggest threat he had faced since his rebirth.

Imagine if he hadn't been holding the box; if Jiang Xiuyuan had been standing next to him; if his reaction had been a little slower; if
There are really too many "ifs". If it wasn't for coincidence, if it wasn't for his good luck, today's attack would at least make him pay a heavy price. The price would either be fulfilled on him or on his woman, one of the other.

So, although An Rushong looked calm and unperturbed at this moment, he was actually extremely angry in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to retaliate against two possible enemies at the same time without knowing who was the mastermind of the attack.

The Zhao Jingsheng brothers naturally would not object to An Rushong's plan. To be honest, if An Rushong had not dissuaded them at the beginning, they would have informed Shen Taian about Liu Taihe's attempt to use the black money long ago.

Just as An Rushong said, the feud between them and Liu Taihe should indeed come to an end.

When An Rusong got off the car in Zhao Jingsheng's car and returned to NGN, he asked Zhao Jingsheng for a few more people. Although he had avoided the attack today, who knows if the other party will come again, so it is very necessary to keep a few available people around.

In addition, when he got off the car, Zhao Chenghao also stuffed a gun into his hand and said, "Take this with you. This is the 'Baekdu Mountain' from the north. This push-pull pin is the safety. When you need to use it, remember to open it first. However, my advice is that you must not use it unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise you will be in trouble."

An Rusong hesitated for a moment, but finally took the gun. In South Korea, carrying a gun privately is a serious crime. Not to mention ordinary people, even the police are not allowed to carry weapons with them.

However, after this attack, An Rushong felt a stronger sense of crisis. He felt that he really needed to carry a gun. At least, he should leave a gun at the Songquandong mansion so that he could use it for self-defense when necessary.

"I'll ask the people in the car behind to stay," Zhao Jingsheng said, "They will follow you for the next two days."

After a pause, he added: "However, you know the situation of my people. They can only be regarded as helpers at best. No one can say how trustworthy they are. So, my advice to you is."

Reaching out and patting An Rusong on the shoulder, he finally said, "Find two reliable bodyguards as soon as possible. You don't need that little money anyway."

An Rushong nodded, put the pistol in his arms, then opened the door and got out of the car.

Standing side by side with Jiang Xiuyuan who got off the car behind, and watching Zhao Jingsheng's car go away, An Rushong glanced at the other car still parked on the side of the road, and then took Jiang Xiuyuan's arm and walked towards the company building.

On the sidewalk outside the company, you can still smell the pungent smell of sulfuric acid. The smell is very strong and it is estimated that it will not disappear in the short term.

An Rushong and the other man walked to the entrance of the company building. Just as they were thinking about going in, they heard a cell phone ringing in An Rushong's pocket.

Gesturing to Jiang Xiuyuan to go in first, An Rushong slowed down, took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at the caller ID.

The call was from Macaulay. An Rusong hesitated for a moment. He knew that the other party must have heard about his attack. After all, the company had already received the news when the police came. If the company received the news, Macaulay would naturally know about it. After all, there was a prudent investigation team sent by Defengjie in the company. After thinking about it, An Rusong still pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

As expected, Macaulay got the news that he had been attacked and called to inquire about the details.

Don't think this is a trivial matter. An Rusong is the chairman and founder of NGN, the developer of the company's development strategy, and the guide of NGN software technology research and development. The reason why DFJ and Apple can accept the principle of equal shares with different rights in their investment in NGN is because they believe in An Rusong's ability and believe that under his management, NGN can continue to grow and develop, thus bringing them rich returns on investment.

If something happened to An Rusong at this time, it would be easier for Apple, but the $5000 million investment made by DFJ would be really wasted. So, after hearing that An Rusong was attacked, Macaulay naturally called to inquire about the situation.

After chatting with Macaulay for a while on the phone, mainly describing the process of the attack and the condition of the injuries, just as An Rusong was about to end the conversation and hang up the phone, Macaulay suddenly said, "An, you should find a bodyguard, I mean a professional bodyguard. After all, you are now a multi-millionaire. If you don't have a bodyguard, not only will your personal safety not be protected, but you won't even be able to reflect your identity."

It must be admitted that what Macaulay said is absolutely correct. For a wealthy man with a net worth of tens of millions, the presence of bodyguards is not only a guarantee of personal safety, but also a symbol of status.

Think about it, which one gives people a more imposing aura, a person who drives himself in and out and attends various banquets for wealthy people alone, or a wealthy person who is surrounded by a group of bodyguards wherever he goes?
"I am also considering hiring two bodyguards, and I have been thinking about it for a long time," An Rusong said with a smile, "but you also know that hiring a bodyguard is not a simple matter. At least, the bodyguard I want to hire must be trustworthy. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether I hired a bodyguard or a bomb."

"That's nothing to consider," Macaulay said on the phone. "You can contact Thomson and ask him to do it for you. If you don't mind spending a little more money, you can ask him to contact Blackwater for you. Although those bastards in North Carolina are abominable, they have no problems with their professional ethics. Most importantly, the price of the bodyguards they provide is not expensive. You should be able to accept it."

At first, when Macaulay mentioned 'Blackwater', An Rusong didn't react, but he quickly spelled it out. Isn't this the infamous Blackwater company?
"Why, does Blackwater still have bodyguard business?" An Rushong asked curiously.

In his previous life, he had heard a lot about the Blackwater company. Of course, there was almost nothing good about it, such as torturing prisoners, shooting civilians, etc. The company had such a bad reputation that in the end, they even had to change their name.

"Of course, they do any business that can make money and is related to violence," Macaulay said with a smile on the phone. "It's just that if you want to receive Blackwater's bodyguard services in South Korea, you still need to go through some complicated procedures. But like I said, as long as you don't mind spending a little more money, Thomson can help you."

Macaulay lowered his voice on the phone and added: "The most important thing is that if you hire someone from Blackwater, the bodyguards they arrange can be equipped with weapons. In this way, your personal safety can be better guaranteed."

"Equipped with weapons?" An Rushong asked in surprise.

"That's right. Even if something goes wrong, they won't implicate you. Anyway, they have ways to avoid the pursuit of the South Korean police," Macaulay said. "You know, although your government doesn't like Blackwater, it still enjoys certain privileges on this peninsula."

"Then, can they provide Asian bodyguards?" An Rusong thought for a moment and asked, "This is Korea after all. If I have two blond and blue-eyed bodyguards with me all the time, I'm afraid it will attract too much attention, which is not a good thing for me."

"Of course," Macaulay said without hesitation, "I know two wealthy people here. The bodyguards they hired are all from Blackwater. Well, of course, these bodyguards are all Korean. Oh, to be precise, they are of Korean descent."

An Rusong nodded and said, "OK, thank you very much, Macaulay, you helped me solve a big problem. I have decided to contact attorney Thomson later and ask him to help me find two bodyguards."

"Don't trust Thomson too much. If he offers you $10, you only need to give him $5 at most," Macaulay laughed. "In that guy's eyes, there are no friends, only business partners."

"Okay, I'll remember your suggestion," An Rushong replied with a smile, and then said goodbye to the other party.
