Chapter 145 of "The Scarlet Journey of Huadu": As Shen Wenqi climbed into the BMW, before he could even settle in, Ouyang Bing's voice came from the back seat: "Hey, you stinky teacher, why are you only coming back now? Are you done with your business?" This girl never knew how to address her teacher respectfully. Used to being "heyed" like that, Shen Wenqi turned around and smiled, saying, "I'm done. I also gathered over twenty black-clad guards who are absolutely loyal to Mr. Ouyang. Now, they're directly working with me to ensure Miss's safety." Ouyang Bing looked at him, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "Why gather so many people? I saw you taking Liang Fei hostage earlier. Did he give you a hard time?" Shen Wenqi glanced at Ouyang Bing and said, "It's not a matter of whether he gave you a hard time or not. I hope you understand from now on that Ouyang Tian is very likely colluding with Director Liang to harm you. So, during this time, you must behave yourself and not be as willful as before, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you." "Ouyang Bing pouted and said, "I know Director Liang is very close to my older brother, but with my...daddy around, they wouldn't do...do anything to harm me..." As Ouyang Bing mentioned "daddy," her voice trailed off, a complex and slightly melancholic look appearing in her beautiful eyes. Shen Wenqi clearly saw this complex look and sighed inwardly. This little girl probably already sensed something. He still couldn't tell her directly about Mr. Ouyang's accident. He wondered how Ouyang Bing would react if she knew her beloved daddy was gone. Shen Wenqi couldn't bear to imagine. Shen Wenqi said softly, "What if...your daddy is gone? Would you...still be so optimistic?" "What are you talking about?" "Ouyang Bing pouted and said, "...My daddy is in Japan, he'll be back in...a few days." Ouyang Bing seemed to want to refute, but her voice couldn't rise, and it trembled slightly. Ouyang Bing's forced composure made Shen Wenqi's heart ache slightly. He knew that the little girl was suppressing her emotions, avoiding the ominous feeling in her heart, but the fact was there, and Shen Wenqi could only brace himself and look at her, saying, "Bing'er, Mr. Ou...Mr. Ouyang has returned." Ouyang Bing was stunned, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she asked urgently, "Returned? You said Daddy is back? Where is he now?" Shen Wenqi looked at the glimmer of expectation in Ouyang Bing's beautiful eyes, sighed inwardly, and said softly, "He's back, Mr. Ouyang is in Pearl Harbor...at...Victoria Hospital..." "...Victoria Hospital?" The glimmer of light in Ouyang Bing's beautiful eyes dimmed suddenly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "...What is Daddy doing at the hospital?" "He...he's not...alright, is he?" "You...say something? Is my daddy alright? He...went to visit a patient, right?" A hint of anticipation flickered in Ouyang Bing's beautiful eyes, a desire for the answer she imagined, but her mind was filled with the wreckage of the crashed private jet. At that moment, Chen Yuxin, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, glanced at Ouyang Bing, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. She had clearly sensed the ominous undertone in Ouyang Bing's words. Shen Wenqi shook his head and said softly, "Mr. Ouyang's private jet crashed around 11 PM last night, and everyone on board perished. I think… Bing'er, you saw that news…" Ouyang Bing's beautiful hopes and sliver of hope were ruthlessly shattered by Shen Wenqi. Her beautiful face turned deathly pale, her lips trembling as she murmured, "No… I didn't see it, I didn't see anything. You're lying to me, that news is fake. It must be another plane, not my daddy's, not… it can't be…" Tears welled up in Ouyang Bing's beautiful eyes, and from the corners of her eyes, drops of that crystalline light slowly slid down… more and more… Silent tears and a heartbreaking expression graced Ouyang Bing's beautiful face. Shen Wenqi couldn't bear to watch her suffer any longer. He glanced at Yu Xin, whose beautiful eyes were also brimming with tears, and gestured for her to take good care of the grieving Ouyang Bing. He then turned away and started the BMW. A large convoy of luxury cars, now accompanied by several Mercedes-Benz escort vehicles, sped along. With special red passes, the convoy passed without hindrance, exiting Central and heading towards Victoria Peak. Police cars, military vehicles, ambulances, and fire trucks passed by along the way, their red and blue lights flashing. The sirens wailed particularly piercingly in the late night. Even though it was past midnight, the gang unrest continued. Arson and looting were always associated with riots. In the distance, thick smoke could be faintly seen rising from various places. Apart from Central, the surrounding areas were undoubtedly in ruins. Victoria Hospital is located on Victoria Peak, nestled between the mountain and the sea in a tranquil and scenic environment. Numerous police officers and military personnel are stationed at key intersections at the foot of Victoria Peak. The Mid-Levels of Victoria Peak is a renowned affluent area of Pearl Harbour, home to many ultra-wealthy individuals. If unrest were to spread here, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, a large number of military and police had taken precautions and imposed martial law in advance. The few triad rioters who had their sights set on the Mid-Levels were quickly suppressed by the Hong Kong Garrison. The soldiers were not as lenient as the riot police; shields, batons, high-pressure water cannons, and warning shots were all superfluous to them. The best defense for the soldiers was ruthless offense. Anyone encountering armed provocations or attempting to storm the checkpoints was killed on sight. Bullets are merciless; single shots are too polite—a barrage! Faced with these ruthless professional killing machines, the deterrent effect of hand-to-hand combat was immediately apparent. After a burst of intense gunfire, the rioters left behind dozens of corpses and scattered like birds. Soon, all the major triads received news of the Hong Kong Garrison's intervention, and the Mid-Levels and Central areas became forbidden zones for triad rioters. At the foot of Victoria Peak, a luxury convoy slowly pulled over under the threat of several machine guns at the checkpoint. The red special pass proved extremely effective; soon, the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint allowed the convoy to pass. Outside Victoria Hospital, not only were police and Hong Kong garrison troops stationed, but a large number of media outlets were also gathered. These astute reporters had learned through various channels that all the passengers on the crashed plane had been taken to this luxury hospital. Some with even better connections had already learned that the crashed private plane belonged to Mr. Ouyang, whose reputation was enough to attract the attention of these reporters. As soon as the luxury convoy appeared, the media reporters surrounding the hospital swarmed forward. The media were already familiar with Ouyang Bing's car, and Shen Wenqi's white BMW immediately became the target of the reporters' attack. Regardless of whether they could get a picture of the people inside the black-tinted windows, flashes went off wildly, and the sound of cameras clicking was incessant. The scene was extremely chaotic, and the luxury convoy was immediately surrounded by a sea of people. Unable to move forward, Shen Wenqi quickly instructed the bodyguards in the escort vehicle to get out and maintain order through the headset. Upon receiving the order, more than ten bodyguards in suits quickly got out of their cars and rushed to the white BMW, forming two human walls on either side, separating the group of frenzied reporters and maintaining a safe distance from the BMW. At this moment, Shen Wenqi received a notification from the escort vehicle in his earpiece: the luxury convoy was being blocked by the military. For security reasons, the military only allowed the white BMW to enter the hospital; all other vehicles were to be parked in the temporary parking lot outside the hospital. Shen Wenqi issued an order that all bodyguards, except the driver, should walk alongside the BMW. Soon, the escort vehicles turned into the temporary parking lot on the side of Tuoya Hospital, and dozens of bodyguards formed two lines, flanking the white BMW as it walked towards the hospital gate. There were too many frantic reporters, so the BMW could only move slowly. All the bodyguards in suits followed on foot, and the two lines of bodyguards effectively blocked the media's encirclement. This rare high-level security was quite an eye-opener for the media. In an instant, cameras turned to these serious-faced, alert-eyed bodyguards in suits, and a spectacular flash of light appeared. Upon entering Victoria Hospital, the swarming media reporters were stopped at the gate by military police. The BMW, surrounded by bodyguards in suits, pulled up at the foot of the hospital building's steps. Outside, more bodyguards had arrived earlier. Although many of these bodyguards belonged to the Ouyang and Chen families, under Shen Wenqi's instructions, anyone not directly under Ouyang Bing's control was treated as an enemy. The bodyguards surrounding the BMW dispersed, forming a tight protective net within a fifty-meter radius. Some loitering individuals quickly left the perimeter after being persuaded by Guan Ming. Only after receiving "safe" confirmation messages from their respective locations via earpiece did Shen Wenqi step out of the BMW and open the door for Ouyang Bing. Ouyang Bing's delicate body seemed weak; grief and silent tears had exhausted her spirit. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow and emptiness; her mind was blank. When Shen Wenqi helped her out, her body seemed about to collapse, leaning softly against Shen Wenqi's strong embrace. Perhaps, he was her only support. The obedient Chen Yuxin, who emerged from the other car door, gently supported Ouyang Bing and softly said to Shen Wenqi, "Leave Bing'er in my care." Shen Wenqi nodded and released Ouyang Bing from his arms. But for some reason, seeing Shen Wenqi release her, Ouyang Bing instinctively clutched his clothes tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline.Shen Wenqi felt a pang of pity; he understood Ouyang Bing's loneliness and helplessness at that moment. Without letting go of her small hand tightly clutching his clothes, he and Chen Yuxin supported Ouyang Bing on either side, slowly ascending the hospital building steps under the tight protection of eight black-clad guards. After learning that Mr. Ouyang's body was on the third floor, they took the elevator up. Upon exiting, they saw the hospital corridor filled with people: police, doctors, nurses, bodyguards, and relatives and friends of the victims who had rushed to the scene. As soon as Ouyang Bing appeared, the people in the corridor automatically parted to make way. Shen Wenqi and Chen Yuxin, supporting Ouyang Bing, slowly walked towards the end of the corridor under the protection of the eight bodyguards. At the closed door at the end, Shen Wenqi immediately spotted the old butler. Beside him were several men in suits; judging by their bearing, these men were undoubtedly of high status. Before they even got close, the old butler and a middle-aged man in his fifties approached. Seeing Ouyang Bing's empty, sorrowful eyes, both sighed inwardly. "Daddy..." Chen Yuxin called out to the middle-aged man in a pitiful voice. The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to Shen Wenqi, and asked softly, "You...you must be Shen Wenqi, Mr. Shen?" Shen Wenqi nodded slightly, sensing the sharp look in the middle-aged man's eyes. "Oh, my surname is Chen, Yuxin's father, and also Mr. Ouyang's closest friend." The middle-aged man extended his hand. Shen Wenqi shook hands with him in a friendly manner and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Chen, it's an honor to meet you." The young man before him was composed and well-mannered. Mr. Chen sized Shen Wenqi up and said, "Mr. Ouyang mentioned you to me before he left for Japan. He values you highly. I don't know why Mr. Ouyang trusted you so much after only meeting you once, but after meeting you for the first time today, I have to admit that I share his opinion." Shen Wenqi nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, you flatter me. I don't know what Mr. Ouyang thinks of me. I only know one thing: I will fulfill Mr. Ouyang's dying wish. Also, I want to thank you for your help these past few days, which has saved me a lot of worry about safety. Thank you." Mr. Chen looked into Shen Wenqi's eyes and said, "No need to thank me. Mr. Ouyang and I have a life-or-death bond. He asked me for help before he left for Japan, which is simply my duty. Besides, Bing'er is someone I've watched grow up, and she's like a sister to my daughter. Naturally, I won't let anything happen to her… Moreover, you are my daughter's teacher." At this point, Mr. Chen's gaze fell on Ouyang Bing's sorrowful face. He sighed and said, "Bing'er... already knows about... Daddy, right?" Shen Wenqi glanced at Ouyang Bing, nodded slightly, and said, "She... already knows." A heavy look crossed Mr. Chen's eyes, and he sighed, "Ah... to encounter something like this at such a young age, it's truly heartbreaking for her." Shen Wenqi also sighed softly, glancing at Ouyang Bing, who was clutching his clothes. She seemed not to hear their conversation, silent tears soaking her pale face. She leaned silently against Chen Yuxin's chest, her sorrowful eyes staring blankly at the closed door at the end of the corridor. What was she thinking at that moment? At this moment, two men in suits standing at the door approached. Shen Wenqi glanced at them. One man was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows, hawk-like eyes, a hooked nose, and sharp eyes. He had a straight and strong posture and was very energetic. The other man was much younger, in his early thirties. He wore a well-fitting designer suit, was tall and slender, with fair skin, thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, a straight nose, and a thin face. He had a handsome and refined appearance, and his small eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness. As the two men approached, they both softly called out to Ouyang Bing, one calling her "little sister" and the other "Miss." The soft calls did not bring Ouyang Bing back to her senses. Her beautiful eyes remained sad and empty as she stared at the tightly closed door. At this moment, the middle-aged man glanced at Shen Wenqi, and at the same time, he also noticed the eight burly black-clad guards behind Shen Wenqi. He recognized these eight Black Guards; they were all bodyguards left behind by Mr. Ouyang, and the people he had personally ordered to be replaced. These people were actually behind Miss Ouyang. The middle-aged man frowned slightly. It seemed his nephew Liang Fei's phone call was true; the young man before him had actually dared to summon the Black-Clad Guards on standby. A sense of unease crept in, for he knew the Black-Clad Guards weren't easily mobilized. The middle-aged man stared into Shen Wenqi's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "You're Shen Wenqi?" Shen Wenqi met the middle-aged man's sharp gaze and said calmly, "Yes, that's me. You must be Director Liang?" Director Liang frowned slightly and said, "That's right, I'm Director Liang in charge of security matters." Then, pointing to the young man beside him, he said, "This is Mr. Ouyang Tian, the General Manager of Qingyun Group. I suppose this is your first time meeting him?" This guy was shrewd; not only did he bring up his own title as Security Director, but he also brought up the General Manager of Qingyun Group to intimidate him. It seemed he was preparing to give him a hard time. While pondering, Shen Wenqi maintained a calm expression and said, "I have heard of both of your esteemed names, and it is an honor to meet you today." Director Liang saw that Shen Wenqi's expression did not change and seemed to ignore their presence. His eyes flashed with anger, while Ouyang Tian beside him had a very indifferent expression, revealing nothing. He seemed to disregard Shen Wenqi's somewhat disrespectful tone. Director Liang seemed too lazy to waste any more words with Shen Wenqi and said in a deep voice, "Shen Wenqi, as Miss's personal bodyguard, you are not normally under my jurisdiction as the security director. However, I heard that you have violated the rules established by the Ouyang family by arbitrarily mobilizing the Black-Clad Guards. You must know what the consequences of violating the rules are, right?" The other party's eyes were a little unfriendly, but Shen Wenqi replied indifferently, "I know, family discipline. These rules are a compulsory course for any Ouyang family bodyguard. How could I not know?" The Ouyang family rules are strict and conflict with the law, but this does not prevent the secret execution of the Ouyang family rules. Shen Wenqi was naturally aware of this, but knowing is one thing, and doing it is another.Mr. Chen's eyes flashed with a heavy look, and he sighed, "Ah... to encounter something like this at such a young age, it's truly heartbreaking for her." Shen Wenqi also sighed softly, glancing at Ouyang Bing, who was clutching his clothes. She seemed not to hear their conversation, silent tears soaking her pale face. She leaned silently against Chen Yuxin's chest, her sorrowful eyes staring blankly at the closed door at the end of the corridor. What was she thinking at that moment?

He had a handsome and refined appearance, and his small eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness. The two men approached and each softly called out to Ouyang Bing, one calling her "Little Sister" and the other "Miss." The gentle calls failed to rouse Ouyang Bing from her reverie; her beautiful eyes remained sadly and vacantly fixed on the tightly closed door. At that moment, the middle-aged man glanced at Shen Wenqi, and simultaneously noticed the eight burly black-clad guards behind him. He recognized these eight Black Guards; they were all bodyguards left behind by Mr. Ouyang, men he had personally ordered to be replaced. These men were now behind Miss Ouyang. The middle-aged man frowned. It seemed his nephew Liang Fei's phone call was true; the young man before him had actually dared to mobilize the standby black-clad guards. A sense of unease crept into his heart, for he knew that the black-clad guards were not easily summoned. The middle-aged man stared into Shen Wenqi's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "You are Shen Wenqi?" Shen Wenqi met the man's sharp gaze and said calmly, "Yes, I am. You must be Director Liang?" Director Liang frowned slightly and said, "That's right, I am Director Liang in charge of safety matters." He then pointed to the young man beside him and said, "This is Mr. Ouyang Tian, the general manager of Qingyun Group. I imagine this is your first time meeting him, is it?" This guy was quite shrewd; not only did he bring up his own title as safety director, but he also brought up the general manager of Qingyun Group to intimidate him. It seemed he was preparing to give him a show of force. While pondering this, Shen Wenqi maintained his calm expression and said, "I have heard of both of you. It is an honor to meet you today." Director Liang saw that Shen Wenqi's expression remained unchanged, seemingly ignoring their presence, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Ouyang Tian, however, remained indifferent, his expression unreadable, seemingly unconcerned by Shen Wenqi's somewhat disrespectful tone. Director Liang seemed too lazy to waste any more words with Shen Wenqi and said in a deep voice, "Shen Wenqi, as Miss's personal bodyguard, you are not normally under my jurisdiction as the security director. However, I heard that you have violated the rules established by the Ouyang family by arbitrarily mobilizing the Black-Clad Guards.
