Old Deng had a conversation with Adelaide and, after connecting with each other's feelings, he excused himself to go upstairs to rest, citing ill health. Before Old Deng left, however, Adelaide offered to assign some bodyguards to him to ensure his safety.
But Old Deng refused them all. He had arrived early this time because he wanted to really see Xiangjiang, to see this place that had been away from the embrace of the motherland for so long. If he brought along other people's subordinates, it would definitely make his affairs inconvenient.
Moreover, he didn't come with a small entourage himself, and that didn't even count the members of his organization hidden in the shadows who were there to protect him. Not only that but without boasting, Old Deng was confident that the subordinates he brought were much more skilled than those Adelaide provided.
Old Deng firmly believed that if his own subordinates couldn't protect him, then there was even less need to mention Adelaide's.
