Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 714 For example, sacrificing one's life when necessary

Madam Lu, unaware of Lu Jianshe's thoughts, showed him the chicken soup in her hand, saying, "Whether you have an appetite or not, you should still drink some."

Knowing he wouldn't die immediately, Lu Jianshe wasn't in such a hurry. He still didn't want to eat, and patted Madam Lu, "Go out for a while, I have something to say."

Guard: ...

No, is this never going to end?

He looked at Madam Lu with pleading eyes: Please, don't go!

Mrs. Lu was puzzled by his constant blinking, but not understanding what was going on, she didn't bother to find out.

And she was indeed a little unhappy, finally asking the question that had been bothering her, "Look at you, still worrying about this and that? What is it that's making you so concerned?"

Lu Jianshe didn't explain, but insisted that she leave, "It'll only be a little while, it'll be quick, don't make me unhappy, okay?"

Having been married for most of their lives, it was rare for him to speak in such a gentle tone. Mrs. Lu's heart was touched, and she immediately softened. Even though she hesitated for a moment because she saw the guard looking like he wanted to say something, she still went out.

The guard wanted to reach out Er Kang's hand to stop him, but he didn't dare.

Lu Jianshe stared at him with unusually sharp eyes for a while, until he felt his scalp tingle and could only look away to avoid eye contact.

Lu Jianshe waited until his pressure had been enough to intimidate him before speaking, "You don't want to stay by my side anymore?"

Upon hearing this, the guard broke out in a cold sweat and immediately saluted with the utmost solemnity. "Report, I didn't mean that!"

Lu Jianshe spoke slowly, as if chatting casually, "But I can tell you don't really want to run errands for me; you keep resisting my orders."

The guard was both flustered and embarrassed. Could he say that he felt the commander was making trouble for no reason?

Of course, even a fool would know that he couldn't say what was on his mind so bluntly; he's just straightforward, not stupid.

He forced himself to stand up straight, as if making a vow of loyalty.

"Comrade, I'm worried about you. Haven't you noticed that ever since this happened, you've been hitting roadblocks and suffering setbacks everywhere, and besides..."

The guard glanced at Lu Jianshe, who had no expression, shrank back, closed his eyes, and quickly finished speaking.

"Besides, you're not even providing any evidence but you keep harping on this, so we're really in the wrong!"

Lu Jianshe narrowed his eyes dangerously, feeling an unbearable tightness in his chest.

If he had known that this guard would one day be so stubborn and contradict him, he would never have deliberately kept him around just to leave him with a weakness to exploit.

His career resurgence was not due to solid achievements, but rather... he was tempted to do something against his will.

As someone who is "useful" and "usable" to the other party, he cannot be an invincible person.

The people you keep around you shouldn't be too meticulous or capable; they just need to be loyal enough to be of good use. This way, people won't think you have any ambition to expand your power.

So he chose this bodyguard.

Even his trusted confidant, Ren Chunsheng, was carefully selected by him using this standard.

This is similar to the practice of employing servants in ancient times. Those who are useful must not start from a high level. Only those who have climbed up from the bottom will be grateful for his charity and will cherish every opportunity to do things for him.

Similarly, they are more willing to make sacrifices.

For example, if necessary, he would sacrifice his life to protect him.

But today, all the schemes and scheming that Lu Jianshe once took pride in have come back to haunt him.
