Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Chapter 257 You Intentionally Revealed Your Whereabouts

Qi Yuan thought about it and realized that their procession was indeed very grand, and even if they went to a more prosperous city, they would still receive a lot of attention.

"Have you found out who those people are?" Qi Yuan asked.

“I found out a little,” Eric said. “I asked the people in town, and they said those guys were discharged from the army last year and are now working on the town’s patrol team.”

These relatively remote towns with small populations generally do not have police stations; they only have a patrol team responsible for protecting the town's safety.

"Do you think a retired soldier could be one of Bartlett's men?" Qi Yuan asked.

"That's possible. According to some members of Darkfire, some soldiers aren't actually retired, but rather Bartlett's spies spread throughout every town, keeping an eye on the four major families. Although there are no Darkfire members in this town, it's likely that there are spies there, given Bartlett's usual practices."

Qi Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I understand."

Just as Qi Yuan was about to tell everyone to go back and rest, there was a knock on the door. The bodyguard outside told him that the town's patrol captain wanted to see him.

Qi Yuan was still guessing the other party's identity when they unexpectedly came to his door. So he went to the lobby on the first floor to meet them.

The patrol team leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was of average appearance and had nothing particularly special about him, but he had a long scar on his right cheek.

Upon seeing Qi Yuan, the patrol captain paused for a moment, then instinctively asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Qi Yuan?"

Qi Yuan was surprised that someone recognized him in this remote place, and replied, "Yes."

"You are so beautiful. This is the first time I've met you, but I recognized you at a glance because of your demeanor and appearance." His voice became respectful.

Qi Yuan didn't take the praise to heart and asked, "Captain, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, it's just that so many people and vehicles suddenly came to town, I was afraid something might happen, so I came to see who it was. Mr. Qi Yuan, where are you going with so many people?" The patrol captain looked at Qi Yuan with seemingly simple curiosity, his expression showing little malice.

Qi Yuan said, "Go to Santa Cassia."

The patrol captain suddenly realized, "I heard last year that the Davis family bought the Santa Cassia Ranch. Are you handling things there?"

"Yes, the cattle and sheep are returning from grazing, which is the best time to shear them. I'll go check if any of the employees are slacking off."

“I see. Then I won’t bother you any longer. By the way, Mr. Qi Yuan, if you need anything, you can go directly to the patrol team in the town center to find me. I’ll be happy to help you.”

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement and said nothing more.

The patrol captain was also embarrassed to get too close to Qi Yuanpan, for fear of offending him.

After the patrol captain left, Asha asked worriedly, "Mr. Qiyuan, why did you tell him our destination?"

Qi Yuan didn't speak, but looked up quietly at Asha.

At first, Asha didn't think anything was wrong, but when he looked up at Nick and Eric and found that they were both looking at him with an "you don't know" expression, he suddenly realized that there was something fishy about this trip!

"Mr. Qi Yuan, did you deliberately reveal your whereabouts?"

"Ah."

"Why?!"

"fishing."

"fishing?"

Asha repeated Qi Yuan's words in confusion, her mind not quite grasping what he meant.

Nick noticed that Asa's reaction was different from usual and asked Qi Yuan, "Mr. Qi, does Asa not know that we have discovered Mr. Ryan's whereabouts?"

Nick's words startled Asa so much that his hair stood on end.

"You discovered Mr. Ryan's whereabouts? Mr. Qi Yuan, why didn't you tell the family head about something this important?!"

Qi Yuan did not answer Asa's question. He first answered Nick: "Eric told me over the phone. Although Asa was always standing behind me, the volume of the phone receiver was so low that only I, who was answering the phone, could hear it, so Asa did not hear it."

At that moment, Asha felt like the sky had fallen.

He was one of the first victims of the phone call!

He always followed Qi Yuan around, thinking he knew everything about Qi Yuan's whereabouts and conversations.

However, after the invention of the telephone, whenever someone contacted Qi Yuan by phone, he could no longer hear Qi Yuan's conversations with others clearly.

Thinking of this, Asha felt very sad: "Mr. Qiyuan, I still don't understand why you didn't tell the family head about Mr. Ryan. You should know that Mr. Ryan is very important to the family head."

Qi Yuan noticed Asha's disappointment and gently patted his back: "He's too busy."

"But……"

“He gave me Nick’s Bluebird, made me befriend Darkfire, and gave me thirty bodyguards before he left. Ryan is a tiger with its teeth pulled out now. He sounds scary, but he doesn’t have much fighting power. Leave him to me. I can handle him.”

Qi Yuan spoke casually, and there wasn't a trace of tension on his face.

Asha looked at Qi Yuan with a wronged expression. He knew how smart Qi Yuan was, but he had failed to know Qi Yuan's intentions, which made him feel that he had failed in his duty.

Qi Yuan seemed to sense all his thoughts through his expression and continued to comfort him: "It's no use knowing my real purpose for going to Saint Cassia. I left in a hurry, and you didn't have time to meet with Noah to report the news."

Hearing this, Asha felt much better.

He looked up at Nick with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "Mr. Qi Yuan, do you think this guy is capable of protecting you?"

“He’s the leader of an assassination organization, all he does is kill. Protecting… I still trust a professional bodyguard like you more,” Qi Yuan said.

After hearing this, Asha felt much better, and her eyes even showed a hint of pride as she looked at Nick.

Nick was suddenly compared to her and smiled helplessly, "Asha, we both work for Boss Qi. If I do your job, you'll have less to do and you can get paid for nothing. Wouldn't that be a good thing for you?"

"What good news?! I'm capable of working and earning money on my own, so you just do your job and don't try to take my job!"

Although Qi Yuan's surroundings may seem dangerous, based on A Sha's many years of experience as a bodyguard, Qi Yuan is actually quite safe.

Whenever they went to a dangerous place, Noah would arrange for someone to protect Qi Yuan. This bodyguard of his was the closest to Qi Yuan, which meant that he was essentially staying in a safe area with Qi Yuan.

Furthermore, and most importantly, Qi Yuan has a good personality and won't make things difficult for him. As long as he performs well, his salary is high.

Asha really loves being bodyguard Qi Yuan, and he doesn't want anyone to take his job away from him.

Faced with Asa's warning, Nick shrugged helplessly and said, "Don't worry, Boss Qi also said that our jobs are different and he won't take your job away from us."
