Uncle Liu offered a slight smile; he had already grasped Leng Xuan's aning but still deliberately said, "Of course, if Mr. Leng is not satisfied, then I can discuss with the Old Master about increasing the offer."
"Satisfied!" Leng Xuan exhaled, saying, "With such a good offer, if I still say I'm not satisfied, then I wouldn't be human. May I know when I can start working?"
Uncle Liu smiled and asked, "Where are you staying?"
"I've just arrived in Baiyun City and haven't found a place to live yet."
"I see. Well then, why don't you co with to et the Old Master right away? After that, I'll arrange a place for you to live, is that okay?"
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Ling Corporation!
Inside a eting room, Patriarch Ling Tian had just finished a eting when Uncle Liu walked in and said, "Old Master, I have brought you a gift."
Ling Tian, a very tall figure, looked quite imposing. Glancing at Uncle Liu, he smiled and asked, "What gift?"
"A person!"
"A person?"
"Yes, Old Master, weren't you worried about not finding a suitable candidate to protect the young miss?"
"Oh?" Ling Tian's eyes lit up. His trust in Uncle Liu exceeded that in his own children, and of course, he knew that if Uncle Liu referred to a person as a gift, then this individual had to be quite exceptional.
"Why not bring him in for to see?"
"He's outside. This is his dossier, which I just managed to obtain after calling the military; it wasn't easy to dig up these details," Uncle Liu said as he handed a file to the Old Master.
"Na: Leng Xuan, Gender: Male, Age: 19, Forr Dark Sword mber, now retired. Participated in a series of assassination operations in South Africa, Iraq, North Arica, Europe, and along our national border. Awarded one Special-Class rit, four First-Class rits, and three Second-Class rits..."
The dossier also listed so of the figures who had died at Leng Xuan's hands, most of whom were military officers or political figures, the military ones being at least division-level officers and the political ones being notable personas. It also included the nas of a few drug lords and one underworld boss.
Such information was a national secret; not only was it nearly inaccessible to the general public, but even so heads of state would struggle to find it, as it concerned the lifelong safety of Dark Sword mbers.
Now that Uncle Liu had easily gotten his hands on such information, one couldn't help but wonder just how powerful the forces behind Ling Corporation truly were?
After examining the dossier, Elder Ling looked at Uncle Liu with a curious expression, "Where did you find this young man?"
Uncle Liu smiled and recounted the incident that had happened at the bank earlier in the day, concluding with, "Old Master, this young man braved life and death to save an unknown woman, which speaks volus about his character. Moreover, when a robber shot at him, he could have dodged, but considering the safety of others behind him, he risked his life to intercept the bullet with another bullet. This alone proves that the young man is not only righteous but also has a resolute and brave nature. Such talent is truly rare in today's world."
Old Master Ling nodded, a smile finally appearing on his face, "I would like to et him!"
Uncle Liu responded and went out. Monts later, he returned with Leng Xuan.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Elder Ling scrutinized Leng Xuan carefully. He noted that although the young man was poorly dressed, his eyes harbored a sharpness that was too intimidating to confront, a truly astonishing sight.
