Chapter 770: Chapter 0771: Let Luo Fei Continue as the Bodyguard【Third Update】
When the three people saw that Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun were silent, they thought that these two had the same idea: they wanted a share of the inheritance.
However, what the pair had in mind was to sell the assets before distributing them.
During the ride in Ye Qiu’s car, the three of them remained silent until they reached the entrance of the Cemetery, drove inside, and parked the car. It was then that Ye Qiu realized this place was located in the suburbs.
Nevertheless, the Feng Shui here was indeed excellent, with a towering mountain in the back and a large river in the front; no wonder the dwellings for the deceased here were even pricier than the luxury homes in the city.
As Ye Qiu, Luo Fei, and Xia Lan got out of the car, the expressions of the five individuals emerging from the other vehicle seemed to turn very sad, a complete change from their demeanor during the car ride.
"Sister-in-law, let us come to see off Old Li on his last journey!"
As the five followed Luo Fei towards a part of the Cemetery, they approached the place where the urn containing the ashes was to be placed.
Upon arriving there, the Cemetery staff had already prepared the tombstone with the inscription ’The Tomb of Beloved Husband Li Fei.’
Below the inscription were additional dates.
Having paid so much money, the Cemetery had prepared everything exceptionally well in all aspects, except for not having a gold-plated tomb, they had everything that one could want.
But unlike the city and rural areas, they disliked setting off firecrackers, so now it was merely a matter of incense offering.
Aside from Ye Qiu, Luo Fei and Xia Lan personally placed Li Fei’s urn beneath the tombstone they had purchased; then, they sealed it with cement to prevent any possible theft.
As for the others, Feng Zhiqiang and his group offered incense and said a few touching words before moving to another side.
The five of them hadn’t expected that half a month ago, they had seen Li Fei in all his glory, never imagining that he would be buried here so suddenly.
After the five left, Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun moved to one side, Feng Zhiqiang and his trio to another, and the people on both sides were still discussing whether to divide the "meat" now or to sell it before splitting it up.
Ultimately, they all wanted a share of the "meat."
They were all pondering on how to get that piece of "meat" from Xia Lan.
Xia Lan, standing by the grave, said, "Li Fei, I originally wanted to bring our daughter here, but Tiantian is still young. I’m afraid she can’t handle the shock or accept this reality. When the time is right, I’ll bring her to see you. As for the hotel company’s affairs, I will definitely strive to fulfill your wishes as you had hoped."
As Xia Lan was speaking to Li Fei’s tombstone, Ye Qiu and Luo Fei stepped aside.
Initially, Luo Fei had a poor impression of Ye Qiu, especially when Ye Qiu wanted all of Li Fei’s shares. But now, his opinion of Ye Qiu had greatly improved.
He felt that Ye Qiu was entirely different from those five men just now.
The hypocrisy of those five was apparent to him.
But Ye Qiu had remained consistent throughout, as if he genuinely had no interest in being involved with the affairs of the Eiffel Chain Hotel unless Xia Lan had requested his presence.
Regarding the 5% of the hotel shares, Luo Fei had heard about them from Li Fei and Ye Qiu. However, it seemed now that Ye Qiu was not interested in those shares.
"Mr. Luo, what are your plans?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"After I was discharged from the military, I started working with Boss Li. It’s been eight or nine years now, and I understand his character very well. That is why I have stayed with him all this time. Moreover, over the years, Boss Li has treated me well. But now that Boss Li is gone, I’m planning to find a new job," said Luo Fei.
Luo Fei was prepared to find a new job, especially at his age. He was in his thirties—not young, but not old either. However, over the years working closely with Li Fei, he had indeed learned a lot and also built his network of personal relationships.
He now planned to look for work or start his own business to see if he could be successful.

"Looking for a job? That’s really a waste of your time over the years. I think you should first focus on ensuring the safety of Mrs. Li."
Ye Qiu said.
Luo Fei was somewhat confused.
"Right now, Mrs. Li needs a bodyguard for protection, and you’re the best fit. Besides, Mrs. Li trusts you."
On this point, Luo Fei indeed had considered it, but he didn’t know what Xia Lan’s thoughts were.
However, he was surprised by how much Xia Lan trusted Ye Qiu. What was the reason for that trust?
After Xia Lan finished speaking to Li Fei’s tombstone and wiped away her tears, she turned and walked over to Ye Qiu and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
"Sister-in-law, I was thinking of asking Mr. Luo to be your bodyguard. What do you think?"
"Sure, I was just about to discuss this with Luo Fei!"
Xia Lan said.
Luo Fei had been with her husband for such a long time; she truly trusted Luo Fei’s loyalty and trustworthiness.
Of course, if Luo Fei was unwilling to be her bodyguard, she was also prepared to place him in the security company under the group’s subsidiary to take charge.
"Then let’s get in the car first and talk with those five men. From those five, I can tell you’ve encountered several fierce opponents. When President Li was alive, he could control them, but now that President Li is gone, I’m afraid that just the sister-in-law alone won’t be able to handle those five."
Ye Qiu said.
"I’ll listen to you."
Xia Lan said.
She felt that Ye Qiu wasn’t interested in the shares of Eiffel Chain Hotel, and moreover, Li Fei had mentioned Ye Qiu’s extraordinary identity before, which is why she had such great trust in Ye Qiu from the start.
Additionally, Xia Lan knew that besides her beauty, she had little managerial capability. Faced with a group company and managing so many employees, it would be quite difficult for her alone to get a firm grip.
Xia Lan didn’t wish for her own lack of ability to result in the loss of her husband’s lifelong efforts.
When they got into Ye Qiu’s car, he told Luo Fei to go and speak with Feng Zhiqiang and the other four men, and to prepare to first meet at a café to discuss their thoughts.
Ye Qiu drove towards an upscale café in the city center.
Upon their arrival at the café, Feng Zhiqiang and the other four said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we unanimously demand that Mrs. Li hand over the management rights of the hotel to us. No need to discuss anything else."
"Let’s leave it at that for now and see what Mrs. Li thinks."
Deng Zhiyong said.
Deng Zhiyong drove following them to the café’s parking lot outside. The five men got out of the car, while Ye Qiu, Luo Fei, and Xia Lan had already entered the café and taken a private room.
Once the door to this private room was closed, it became very quiet from the outside.
The eight people inside took a medium-sized private room. When two female servers came in to inquire about their drink orders, Ye Qiu asked for a lemon water, Xia Lan a coffee, Luo Fei a glass of water, and Feng Zhiqiang’s party all requested different types of tea.
Xia Lan hadn’t had a good rest for a long time, so she relied on coffee to maintain her energy and to clear her mind.
