章 7: Be My Bodyguard...
"Do you have any information about who this man is?" Tan Jiang asked Fan Shen, the Kang family's doctor.
Fan Shen walked over to where Tan Jiang was and then handed him a piece of the autopsy he had been working on for nearly twelve hours in the room.
Tan Jiang looked at the autopsy results given by Doctor Fan Shen.
Tan Jiang's eyes widened when he saw the autopsy results.
"No way! Have you confirmed the results of this autopsy?" Tan Jiang asked to make sure to return to Fan Shen.
"All the data on the sheet is correct. I guarantee 100% correct!" Doctor Fan Shen replied while holding the right hand of Yan Guozhi's corpse.
"Look at this. Is there any lack of evidence that he is a member of the White Tiger Martial Arts?" Doctor Fan Shen said to Tan Jiang.
Tan Jiang shook his head in disbelief at what Fan Shen said. "Impossible!" Said Tan Jiang, still in disbelief when he saw the tattoo under Yan Guozhi's palm.
"This is impossible! There is no way this is the original tattoo of that White Tiger member." Tan Jiang said as he looked in detail at the white tiger head tattoo on the forearm close to the palm of Yan Guozhi's corpse.
"What is impossible?" Doctor Fan Shen asked Tan Jiang.
"Because the White Tiger Martial Arts no longer exist. All the members of the Martial Arts have died. And they have not passed on the Martial Arts to anyone." Tan Jiang said as he looked at the male corpse in front of him.
"How could that be?" Fan Shen asked in confusion.
"The White Tiger Martial Arts were said to have disappeared from the Martial Arts era 50 years ago." Tan Jiang replied dryly.

"How are you, Gong Zan?"
Gong Zan, who had just opened his eyes, immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.
"Young master?" Gong Zan answered while widening his eyes when he saw Kang Xing sitting on the sofa near his bed.
Gong Zan's eyes scanned the area around him, surveying the entire corner of the room. Then he looked at his left hand, which was being infused. Then Gong Zan looked back at Kang Xing.
"Don't worry; you are safe now. Your parents will be visiting soon." Kang Xing replied while reading the book in his hand.
"Ah, thank you, Young Master. Hmmm, where am I now? If I may know what about men—"
"He's dead! And now you're on the 10th floor of my house." Kang Xing replied, cutting off what Gong Zan was about to ask.
"Dead? How could that be? Who managed to kill him?" Gong Zan asked, confused and curious about the mysterious man who managed to defeat him at that time.
"Me." Kang Xing replied curtly.
Gong Zan's eyes widened instantly when he heard Young Master's answer. Between believing and not believing.
Impossible. Was what the Young Master said true? Hmmm. No way, because I don't think he has any martial arts at all. But why did he say that? Ah. It must have been his bodyguard who had killed the mysterious man. Thought GongZan.
"Are you okay?"
Gong Zan looked in the direction where Kang Xing was when suddenly Kang Xing asked again.
"Ah, yes, I am fine Young Master. Thank you again for being willing to help me." Gong Zan said with a faint smile at Kang Xing.
"It's okay, don't hesitate." Kang Xing replied.
"Ah, then how can I repay Young Master's kindness?" Gong Zan asked somewhat hesitantly because he was also at a loss as to what to give to someone who had saved his life.
Hearing what Gong Zan just said, Kang Xing smiled faintly as he glanced in the direction where Gong Zan was.
'Hmm, got you. That's what I mean.' Kang Xing thought as he stood up and walked over to Gong Zan.
"Are you sure about the offer?" Kang Xing asked Gong Zan to confirm the man's offer.
"Sure, Young Master, I believe. What can I do for you?" Gong Zan replied confidently; he nodded vigorously to confirm what Kang Xing asked.
Again Kang Xing smiled faintly when he heard Gong Zan's answer. It was as if all the plans he had devised were starting to become apparent.
"Okay. Be my bodyguard!" Kang Xing said while smiling at Gong Zan.
Hearing what Kang Xing just said. Gong Zan was silent for a moment, his eyes wide in shock at the offer Kang Xing made.
"Ah... Ah, did I not hear you wrong, Young Master?" Gong Zan asked again to make sure he didn't hear wrong.
"No, I asked you to be my bodyguard." Kang Xing said.
Gong Zan was silent, his heart pounding. Cold sweat started trickling down his temples.
Is this a good offer for me? Or was this part of a plan Young Master had made? But why didn't I feel suspicious at all? Gong Zan's mind raced as he was about to make a choice.
"If you are willing?" Kang Xing asked managing to make Gong Zan gasp.
"Ah... I'm still in school, Young Master; I can't always be by Young Master's side. How can I—"
"Don't worry; I can arrange everything, and you can still do your school activities." Kang Xing replied again, interrupting Gong Zan's words.
"Hmmm, alright then, Young Master, give me some time to think. Can I give you an answer after I meet my parents? So that they both know that Young Master has been willing to make such a valuable offer." Gong Zan said, explaining to Kang Xing.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your answer. They are both on the fifth floor and will be in this room soon. I'll be waiting for your answer." Kang Xing replied with a smile at Gong Zan.
After saying those words, Kang Xing sat back down on the sofa and waited for the arrival of Gong Zan's parents.
Meanwhile, Gong Zan still didn't expect his luck to come as fast as he thought. Being close to Young Master Kang Xing was one of Gong Zan's wishes.
Kang Xing read a book about the Wuhan Museum, glancing at where Gong Zan was. Seeing Gong Zan smiling to himself while staring blankly ahead, Kang Xing smiled faintly, knowing this.
'Soon, I will carry out the first task. Ha ha.' thought Kang Xing
