Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 221: 221 Hiring a Bodyguard

"Boss, it's better if you make the call, they're targeting you," the designated driver said.

"Okay, I'll make the call," Xu Yang nodded, took out his cellphone, and was about to dial.

"Big brother, please don't call the police, okay? We just gambled and lost, and in a moment of folly, we did this. We will never do it again, we will surely turn over a new leaf, work hard, and live well. Besides, you're not hurt, please don't call the cops."

The man with the buzz cut pleaded with a face full of remorse.

"I don't care if this is your first time or not, you did it, and you have to face the consequences," Xu Yang had no sympathy for these people.

For such people, prison is the best destination; otherwise, there is a good chance that there will be another victim.

Today, he was lucky that the designated driver he found was a former special forces soldier and had been a mercenary, easily taking care of these men.

But if these men repeated their tricks and targeted someone else, that person might not be as lucky.

The designated driver glanced at Xu Yang with a flicker in his eyes.

If Xu Yang really let these people go, he would be utterly disappointed, and might even regret having saved him.

Since he was the one who saved Xu Yang, he naturally didn't want to save someone like that.

The four men with buzz cuts looked at each other and then scattered, each running in a different direction.

To escape was to gamble on luck once more.

Under normal circumstances, at least two could have gotten away.

But today's circumstances were far from normal.

The designated driver was a special forces soldier and had been a mercenary; there was no escape for them.

"Thinking of running?"

With a disdainful laugh, the designated driver quickly knocked them down one by one, dragging them all back.

When Xu Yang saw them running, he did not make the emergency call, but after the designated driver brought them back, he dialed the police.

After the call, several police cars arrived in less than fifteen minutes.

After a brief inquiry, the police officers handcuffed the men and took them back to the station.

Xu Yang and the designated driver went to the police station to give their statements.

After giving their statements, a police officer came over to express his gratitude, saying that the men were suspects in several jewelry store robberies.

Hearing this, Xu Yang was glad he had called the police.

Otherwise, there was a high probability that those men would have continued to commit kidnappings.

Xu Yang and the designated driver left the police station.

They got into a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Xu Yang looked at the designated driver and asked, "Brother Jiang, thank you for saving me; I'd like to invite you out for some late-night food, do you have the time?"

On the way to the station, he had already asked for the man's name, Jiang Zhiyong.

It was only fitting for Jiang Zhiyong, who had saved him, to be treated to a meal.

Moreover, after today's event, Xu Yang felt it necessary to hire a bodyguard, and Jiang Zhiyong seemed like an excellent candidate.

A special forces soldier and former mercenary, a person like that was one in a million.

Jiang Zhiyong smiled freely: "Sure."

He hadn't had dinner yet and was not pretentious about it.

Xu Yang asked, "What do you feel like eating?"

Jiang Zhiyong replied, "Mr. Xu, you choose, I'm easygoing."

He naturally knew Xu Yang's name now.

Xu Yang suggested, "How about barbecue, what do you think?"

Jiang Zhiyong had no objections: "No problem."

He actually quite enjoyed barbecue; as the weather got warmer, eating barbecue and drinking ice-cold beer was blissful.

But now he was working, so he couldn't drink alcohol; instead, he would enjoy barbecue with soft drinks.

"Alright, let's go for barbecue, to this street that's known for it."

Xu Yang took out his phone and gave Jiang Zhiyong an address to navigate to.

It was the BBQ street near Jiang City University.

Last time, he and Zhao Yuxin had also gone there for a BBQ.

More than half an hour later.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan stopped at the entrance to BBQ street.

The two got out of the car and arrived at Fat Brother's BBQ Shop, which was the same place Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had visited before.

Since he wasn't familiar with the owner, Xu Yang didn't greet the owner but simply ordered food from a waiter.

He ordered quite a bit of food, including several bottles of cold beer.

Xu Yang placed a bottle of cold beer in front of Jiang Zhiyong, who said with a wry smile, "Mr. Xu, I'm the designated driver, I can't drink."

Xu Yang said, "Go ahead and drink, I'll find another designated driver later. It's not easy to come out for a BBQ, how can we not have a drink? Plus, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Jiang Zhiyong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have a little."

Soon, the skewers arrived.

The two of them enjoyed the skewers and cold beer, feeling very comfortable.

As they chatted casually and ate more, they became much friendlier with each other.

Xu Yang asked, "Brother Yong, where are you from?"

Jiang Zhiyong took a gulp of cold beer and replied, "From Fu County."

Fu County was a county under the jurisdiction of Jiang City.

It was about seventy to eighty kilometers from Jiang City's downtown area.

Fu County, despite its name, was not affluent, and it had only shed its designation as a poor county a few years back.

Having studied four years of university in Jiang City, Xu Yang had some understanding of the surrounding areas. He had even visited Fu County for an agritainment trip with his classmates, so he was somewhat familiar with the place.

"You used to be a special forces soldier and then worked as a mercenary for several years. How did you end up doing designated driving? You could totally get a better job."

"With your skills, you'd be in demand by many security companies, right? You would be starting with at least a few hundred thousand in annual salary."

Xu Yang expressed the doubts on his mind.

Special forces combined with mercenary experience—such talent was definitely needed by security companies.

Jiang Zhiyong becoming a designated driver was something Xu Yang really couldn't understand.

"I've only been in Jiang City for a short while and haven't found a security company that suits me, so I registered for this job. It's flexible, and I can look for work while I do it," Jiang Zhiyong replied truthfully.

"Old Bro Yong, I would like to hire you as my personal bodyguard and the head of the security department at my company. Would you be willing?" Xu Yang revealed his true purpose.

"You want to hire me?" Jiang Zhiyong was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, after today's events, I feel I need someone like you, and you would be the best candidate."

"The job would involve accompanying me when I go out for social engagements or other situations where your presence is needed. Other times, when there's nothing special, you just work at the company."

"As for payment, you can set your salary. Whatever you think you're worth, I'll pay it. I will satisfy your demands," Xu Yang said very sincerely.

"Could you tell me a bit about yourself?" Jiang Zhiyong didn't immediately agree but decided to first learn a bit more about Xu Yang.

"About myself..." Xu Yang shared some details about his situation.

"Jiang Bottom Fishing is yours?" Jiang Zhiyong was a bit surprised.

Even though he hadn't been in Jiang City for long, he knew about Jiang Bottom Fishing. He had even gone out of his way to try it and found it to be very good.

"Yes," Xu Yang nodded, "When I'm not busy, I just go to work at Yang Xin Investment, and occasionally visit some other companies. If you agree, the place where you will be working will also be at Yang Xin Investment."

"Okay, I agree." After getting a basic understanding of Xu Yang's situation, Jiang Zhiyong agreed.

Moreover, through his conversation with Xu Yang, he felt that Xu Yang was a good person and probably a good boss.

Working as a bodyguard and company security for Xu Yang would likely be better than working at a security company.

Xu Yang asked, "How much salary do you want?"
