Escort Leader Mr. Liu and Escort Leader Mr. Xu had heard Lin Hua and the others mention this before, and they only accepted the job after careful consideration.
They knew that these noble and prominent families had deep foundations, but they hadn't expected them to still have such substantial wealth even after being exiled.
These weren't people that lower-class folks like them could afford to offend. Besides, the clients were willing to pay double the usual fee; all things considered, the escorts were making a handsome profit.
However, there were so many exiles. When they entered the city today, they had seen the sheer size of the group. There was no way they could protect everyone.
"You're overthinking it," Gu Kaiyuan said. "Your main priority is to protect my pregnant wife. In times of unrest, I want you to focus entirely on her. As long as her life is safe, your escort mission will be considered a success."
