Will You Sell It For 20 Taels?
It had been five days. A whole five days.
Over the past five days, Lin Song had led a miserable life.
As the Young Bodyguard Master of the Fulong Bodyguard Agency, ever since his father’s death, the agency had become his.
He was very filial. In just one day, he had finished the funeral.
Originally, someone had said that he should choose an auspicious day. His father’s corpse had not been found, so he should at least make a cenotaph.
Lin Song thought about it and agreed. He casually took a few clothes and within a day, buried his father at the speed of light.
He looked so anxious that even the bodyguards of the bodyguard agency were filial to him.
After the funeral, he also quickly took over.
He had thought that he would be able to continue leading his life, but reality slapped him in the face.
The Bodyguard Agency’s reputation had plummeted, and they had no business. Even the businessmen who usually interacted with them kept a respectful distance from them.
Seeing that his days were getting worse by the day, Lin Song was extremely worried and had aged a lot.
There is a saying that the hemp rope is specially picked and broken, and bad luck only found people who suffered. He was already miserable enough, but strange things kept happening.
Speaking of this strange thing, it originated from a tree in the backyard.
There was a tree in the Fulong Bodyguard Agency. Ever since his father bought this house and transformed it into the Bodyguard Agency, that tree had always existed.
At that time, he had wanted to cut down the tree, but his father had disagreed, so they kept the tree.
Until five days ago, something strange happened.
That night, he needed to pee and was prepared to go to the toilet.
But that night, he really needed to go and happened to see a tree. He couldn’t hold it.
No man could resist a straight tree when he needed to pee.
Lin Song’s head twitched. He ran to the tree and prepared to unbuckle his belt to do his business.

Then, the next night, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and wandered around the courtyard in a daze. When a bodyguard saw him, he even came to talk to him. He even answered.
On the third morning, he woke up in bed again.
There were still vague memories in his mind that made his hair stand on end.
He felt that he was possessed. Deeply possessed, in fact.
The reason was that tree.
Originally, he was wondering if he should cut down the tree.
However, when he thought of that evil feeling, Lin Song gave up on the idea.
Now, he only wanted to sell the bodyguard agency and wait for another buyer to bear his pain.
The grounds of the Fulong Bodyguard Agency were huge. After the news spread, a few wealthy businessmen came over wanting to buy it. However, when these wealthy businessmen entered the agency and saw the tree, they mysteriously left not long after.
Moreover, their movements and expressions were very strange. Their eyes were lifeless, as if they were sleepwalking.
On the fourth day, he went to find those people again. They all said that they had no intention of buying it.
From the beginning to the end, everything was strange.
For the past few days, Lin Song had not slept for a long time because of the tree.
Whenever he wanted to sleep, he would think of that tree.
“Why don’t I just run away?” Lin Song lay on the chair and looked at the sky with dull eyes.
He felt that he could not hold on any longer. He was only one last straw away from escaping.
He was even more afraid of cutting down the tree.
Who knew what would happen after he cut down the tree?
If something happened, he could not guarantee that he could handle it.
“No! I must find the person who will take over!” Lin Song sat up from the bench and gritted his teeth.
He could not stay in this place anymore. He would sell it at a cheap price and take the money to escape.
If something really happened one day, it would be too late to cry.
Thinking of this, Lin Song prepared to call a few bodyguards and let them go out to publicize.
At this moment, he saw Xu Bai entering.
At this moment, Xu Bai walked into the front yard under Liu Er’s lead.
Liu Er kept nodding and bowing, almost kowtowing twice to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai also saw Lin Song lying on the bench and walked over.
“Young Bodyguard Master, how have you been?”
The simple sentence pulled Lin Song back from his daze.
Of course, Lin Song recognized Xu Bai.
The last time this group of bodyguards came back, only Xu Bai quit. This left a deep impression on Lin Song.
“It’s Xu Bai,” Lin Song replied, looking disinterested.
He only wanted to sell the bodyguard agency immediately and did not want to do anything else.
Seeing Lin Song’s attitude, Liu Er hurried forward and said, “Young Bodyguard Master, Brother Xu wants to buy an escort agency.”
He had witnessed Xu Bai’s ruthlessness. He was afraid that if Lin Song was not careful and provoked Xu Bai, Lin Song’s life would be in danger.
Xu Bai saw Liu Er’s actions and could not help but shake his head.
Why did he feel like he was a monster?
He was a very kind person.
Why is Liu Er acting like he was a demon?
At this moment, a few bodyguards happened to pass by. When they saw Xu Bai, they hesitated for a moment before hurriedly coming up to greet him.
When they greeted him, they were very cautious, as if they were afraid that they would do something wrong and make Xu Bai unhappy.
Lin Song was stunned when he saw this.
Why did it feel like… Xu Bai was the Bodyguard Master?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, this thought only appeared for a moment before it was quickly thrown to the back of his mind.
“Come, come, come, come.” Lin Song reacted quickly. He jumped up from the bench and said quickly.
Putting everything else aside, after hearing that Xu Bai wanted to buy the bodyguard agency, Lin Song immediately stood up.
As long as Xu Bai took over, he would be free.
“Xu Bai, oh no, Brother Xu, let me introduce you to the characteristics of our bodyguard agency,” Lin Song said eagerly.
“Young Bodyguard Master, I was once a member of the bodyguard agency. There’s no need to say anything else. I’m also a straightforward person. I’ll give you a fixed price of 20 taels.” Xu Bai raised two fingers.
“Alright, alright, alright. Eh? No, Brother Xu, I’m selling it for 50 taels.” Lin Song reacted and hurriedly waved his hand.
Xu Bai pursed his lips disapprovingly.
When they came, Liu Er had already explained the situation clearly.
Liu Er was not sure about the others, but the buyers left inexplicably as soon as they reached the backyard.
At this point, could this thing be sold?
Not to mention 50 taels, it was difficult enough to find anyone who wanted to buy this place.
Xu Bai wanted to use the shop, but he wasn’t stupid.
Money could not be spent recklessly.
If he agreed directly and did not bargain, it would actually seem abnormal.
“Brother Xu, your price is too low. It’s impossible to buy a bodyguard agency with 20 taels of silver. You can’t even buy a normal shop with that amount of money,” Lin Song said as he promoted his escort agency.
“But… you can’t sell it either.” Xu Bai stroked his chin.
Lin Song choked.
He turned to Liu Er and saw his innocent look. He was furious.
Initially, he wanted to find a sucker, but he didn’t expect his plan to backfire.
“Alright! I’ll sell it!” Lin Song said through gritted teeth.
He had no choice but to sell it. He really could not take it anymore.
“Wait, Young Bodyguard Master, I want to take a look at the backyard,” Xu Bai said with a smile.
