Chapter 136: Liu Jingjing's Thoughts

In the living room, Yang Fan sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Before him sat Tang Tianrong, Tang Xin, and Liu Jingjing.

Butler Zhong stood respectfully behind Tang Tianrong.

"Mr. Yang, have you managed to obtain any useful information?" Tang Tianrong asked, looking at Yang Fan with a respectful expression.

In his heart, he felt immensely grateful that Yang Fan had agreed to become Tang Xin's bodyguard.

Had it not been for Yang Fan's presence tonight, Tang Tianrong dared not imagine what would have happened to his precious daughter.

"What kind of information are you looking for?" Yang Fan asked.

"I want to know who sent these people, or rather, who is trying to target my daughter?" Tang Tianrong gazed fixedly at Yang Fan.

"These people belong to an assassin organization called 'Greedy Wolf'," Yang Fan took a small sip from his tea cup. "As for who hired these assassins, I didn't get any information about that."

When he had used the Soul-Devouring Art to devour the assassins' souls earlier, Yang Fan had not extracted any clues regarding the mastermind, though he did learn that the killers belonged to a mercenary syndicate known as Greedy Wolf.

"Greedy Wolf!" Upon hearing this name, Tang Tianrong drew a sharp breath, his expression turning somewhat fearful.

Noticing the change in Tang Tianrong's demeanor, Yang Fan furrowed his brows and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Tang seems to know something about this Greedy Wolf assassin organization?"

Tang Tianrong gave a bitter smile and said, "Greedy Wolf is the world's top assassin organization, and their operatives are spread all over the globe. Anyone who reaches a certain level of worldly awareness knows of this group."

"I never expected that the enemy would actually hire Greedy Wolf to move against my daughter. It seems Tang Xin will have to continue troubling Mr. Yang for a long time to come."

Yang Fan did not care much about the Greedy Wolf organization; he only wanted to know who wanted to harm Tang Xin.

Only by finding the mastermind could he conclude this bodyguard assignment sooner.

"Does Mr. Tang know of anyone holding a grudge against you, or anyone you've had a falling out with?" Yang Fan set his teacup aside and fixed his gaze on Tang Tianrong. "You must remember, I've only given you two months. If you can root him out, I can solve the problem for you."

"I am currently having my people investigate, and the moment there's any news, I will notify you immediately," Tang Tianrong said with a helpless expression. "However, the other party acts with extreme secrecy; uncovering them won't happen overnight. But Mr. Yang can rest assured, after two months, I will definitely give you the remuneration you deserve."

Yang Fan nodded and said nothing more.

He would leave the investigation of the mastermind to Tang Tianrong, while he only needed to ensure Tang Xin's safety within the two-month timeframe.

Besides, he had no way to investigate on his own, lacking both manpower and his own intelligence network.

"Mr. Yang, this is the student ID card for Pearl High School. Tomorrow, you will go to school together with Xiaoxin," Tang Tianrong said, handing the processed student ID card to Yang Fan. "I've already notified the school administration."

Taking the student ID card, Yang Fan glanced at it before putting it away. "If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest."

"Then I won't disturb Mr. Yang any further," Tang Tianrong said with a smile.

With a nod, Yang Fan got up and left.

Watching Yang Fan's departing back, Tang Tianrong's eyes carried a hint of awe.

He knew that Yang Fan possessed the strength of an Xiantian martial artist and was a formidable expert.

Being able to hire such a powerful expert to act as his daughter's bodyguard made Tang Tianrong feel extremely fortunate.

"Daddy, do I really have to go to school with him every day from now on?" Tang Xin pouted her little lips, looking quite displeased. "Having a guy following me around all the time feels so weird, it's going to make people think he's my boyfriend."

"My precious daughter, these are extraordinary times. If something happens to you, what will I do? How could I ever face your mother in the afterlife?" Tang Tianrong pleaded earnestly. "Yang Fan is immensely strong; only with him protecting you can I feel at ease."

"Oh, alright then," Tang Xin thought for a moment and finally agreed.

She knew her father was doing this for her own good.

"Alright, hurry up and go get some rest, you still have to go to school tomorrow," Tang Tianrong coaxed.

"Daddy, sleep early too," Tang Xin said, then pulled Liu Jingjing along as they headed upstairs.

Back in the bedroom, Liu Jingjing immediately pushed Tang Xin down onto the bed, staring closely at her. "Hehe, confess! Did he take advantage of you?"

Seeing Liu Jingjing's interrogation stance, Tang Xin immediately played dumb. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Who is 'he'?"

As for whether Yang Fan had taken advantage of her or not, how was Tang Xin supposed to know?

All she knew was that her body had probably been seen in its entirety by that hateful fellow.

The mere thought of Yang Fan seeing her completely bare left a very sour taste in her mouth.

She made a silent vow that she would never sleep in the nude again.

"Stop playing dumb with me," Liu Jingjing said, reaching out to playfully pinch her flesh and humming softly, "Humpf, you definitely got taken advantage of. I clearly remember you taking off your top to sleep naked. Do you really think I'd believe nothing happened?"

"Oh please, I said no, so no means no!"

"I remember when he carried you back
