"Let me see."
Huo Quchen frowned and somewhat reluctantly took the photo.
Then... he saw a familiar face.
"Master Quchen, do you know this person?"
Noticing the change in Huo Quchen's expression, Father Xie asked.
"..."
Huo Quchen remained expressionless. Of course he knew this person—he had been sitting right here moments ago. Huo Quchen had even personally handled the paperwork to have this fake photograph added...
He looked at the photo in his hand, then at the document Father Xie had given him detailing his assets, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
No...
With your family's circumstances, do you really need me to arrange a bodyguard?
Taking money from Master Huo's father-in-law made him feel guilty, whether the arrangement was real or not...
But he was an old hand of the martial world, after all. In the blink of an eye, Huo Quchen put on a suitably restrained look of surprise.
"So it's him... I know this young man. He's the descendant of an old friend of mine, and he's quite a decent fellow."
Huo Quchen said with a genial smile.
"Oh? Then how does he compare to Shan Hongyi?"
Father Xie asked.
The Shan Hongyi he spoke of was a well-known Martial Master in the area, famed for valuing loyalty and righteousness. His character was universally acknowledged to be good.
As for his bargain son-in-law, Father Xie did not care much about his martial training. Even if his kung fu reached heights as unfathomable as Huo Quchen's, he only had these last few years left. Even Transformation Strength Grandmasters of the present age like Huo Quchen were scrambling to make money and prepare a way out.
But so long as the man's character was acceptable, Father Xie would use his connections and wealth to smooth the road ahead
