Capítulo 158: Assigned Bodyguards

A stunned silence met his pronouncement. 

"You must be joking." 

Captain Mu couldn't believe his ears. The reason why he was even hired by the Suns in the first place was because of Wu Shang Jing and his family! Back then, the relationship between the two allied families had soured, and the Wus were seeking retaliation for Young Master Sun's actions. 

As such, Sun Haowei was forced to hire Captain Mu and his elite team of bodyguards to ensure he and his family remained safe during that trying time. 

"He jumped off the pier and drowned years ago," Captain Mu said, frowning. "We scoured the seas for his body and we couldn't even find any part of him."

"You said it, there wasn't a body." Jingwei said, shrugging, his shoulders tight with unease. "We have no real proof he's dead. He's always been good at diving, and at slipping through the cracks, unnoticed."

Xue Ning raised an eyebrow. So this person was apparently a sneaky merman. Joy.
