BAM...
The door was kicked from the outside as Wolf Head and Li Yuquan strode into the room. Under the watchful eyes of Chang Zhao and the woman, Tang Xiu then leisurely followed.
The woman’s expression shifted. She had seen Li Yuquan’s photo and could recognize him at once, but she couldn’t tell who Wolf Head and Tang Xiu were.
“Who are you, people?”
She paced two steps forward and imdiately asked indifferently upon seeing Tang Xiu, who she felt was rather extraordinary.
Tang Xiu just slightly glanced at her before his eyes imdiately landed on Chang Zhao. He ca to the guy’s side in a few steps and pushed him onto the sofa. Then, he lit a cigarette and lightly said, “Are you that Chang Zhao, huh?”
Chang Zhao himself thought that Tang Xiu sowhat looked familiar, but he couldn’t rember where he had seen him. But Tang Xiu’s push made him incensed and he coldly snorted. “Hmph, where the hell such hoodlum like you ca from, huh? Do you wanna stand up for this surnad Li or sothing?”
“You got that right. I’m gonna stand up for him.” Tang Xiu nodded. “People do say that worst luck may happen to one’s wife and children. I don’t care if you make things hard for Li Yuquan, but threatening him with his wife and kid is against the custom.”
“Heh, rules are set by the powerful.” Chang Zhao sneered. “Li Yuquan is nothing but a wretched worm—a chess piece that just got thrown away. Hey, Kiddo. I don’t give a damn who you are, but you had better poke your nose sowhere else and don’t ddle with my business, else you’ll end up more miserable than Li Yuquan!”
“Are you threatening , by chance?”
Tang Xiu drew the smoke from the cigarette and sneered. “I could’ve killed you right here and now if you didn’t have a good uncle. Alright, I won’t bother myself bickering with you. Give Li Yuquan’s wife and kid and I’ll forget this issue. But you can expect a heavy smack if you dare commit such a despicable thing again in the future.”
Squinting his eyes, Chang Zhao felt that this guy might be just trying to show off by coming here without much power to back him up. More so that he seed to fear his uncle; such a thought made Chang Zhao furious. He turned around and walked to the opposite side of Tang Xiu, took sat on the sofa and raised his leg atop the other, sneering. “Hmph. You know my uncle, Boy? Then you must know that I’m not that easy to pick on. I’ll keep you accompany in whatever you wanna play with !”
“Who the hell do you think you are?”
Tang Xiu looked at him like he was so kind of idiot. He shook his head and said, “I’ve read the information on your uncle, and he does have so minor abilities. But how can his relatives be so dumb?”
Chang Zhao’s face turned cold and he glowered. “Tell that again? Who the f**k are you? How dare you judge my uncle?”
Pa...
Jin Shi strode forward and slapped the fella and dragged him off the sofa, beating him and then throwing him on the floor.
At this mont, four strong n rushed in from the outside. Seeing Chang Zhao being beaten, their complexions drastically changed and they stord toward Chang Zao to help him up.
Chang Zhao covered his cheek but didn’t order his n to fight back. He knew Li Yuquan’s identity as the forr captain of the Blue Eagle special force with remarkable skills. It was impossible for his four n to be his match at all. He knew that he had to be patient. Only when a large number of Sis Xue’s security guards ca over would it be the ti to retaliate.
While touching his cheek, Chang Zhao suddenly grinned and smiled. He turned to Jin Shi, gave him a thumbs-up and coldly spoke, “Soone hit before and I got his arms cut off; another kicked and I ordered my n to break their four limbs. This is not a threat, I’m telling you a fact. You dare to co here to make trouble, so I presu you got sothing that can back you up. Now I give you the chance to make a call and exhaust every ans you can think of to everyone you can contact. I’m a scher myself, but I’m not gonna play such a ga now but accompany you to play openly!”
Tang Xiu was silent for a mont, then slowly said, “You’re Chang Guoxin’s nephew, so I’m giving you a good lesson today: when you’re facing enemies, be it them powerful hegemons or filthy ants, be very careful and investigate them first in detail, for you can never take any enemies lightly. You’ll win every battle if you know your enemy and yourself. But if you take them lightly, you’ll very likely drown and push yourself into the pit.”
“Heh, I don’t need you to give a sermon!” Chang Zhao mocked.
Xue Zengi, the female dressed in cheongsam, squird her sensual lips. Her eyes had been fixedly trained at Tang Xiu the mont he ca into the room. She had been helping her father manage their security company secretly in recent years and spent a lot of ti training security mbers. Therefore, she wasn’t very well-inford about the news outside as she oftentis went away for several months and rarely had contact with the outside world. It was the chief reason why she was unable to recognize who this young man was.
Still, she was very confident in her ability to observe and judge people. Tang Xiu gave her a profound impression, yet it was like a superficial appearance regardless. However, she could sense an aura of soone from a high place from him through his every word and action, which made her secretly vigilant.
“Not bad.”
Xue Zengi found Tang Xiu approvable and finally comnted. Although they were in a hostile situation at the mont, appreciation could be seen in her eyes.
“You’re not average, Mister. May I know your na?”
Tang Xiu shot a glance at her again and indifferently replied, “Don’t tell you don’t know what courtesy is. Why don’t you introduce yourself first before you ask others?”
Xue Zengi’s expression slightly shifted, but she still answered nonetheless, “My na is Xue Zengi. You can call Proprietress Xue or Ms. Xue. I’m the owner of this teahouse.”
“You’re the owner of this place, yet you’re helping a hoodlum do his evil deeds here?” replied Tang Xiu apathetically. “You can close your teahouse from today onward!”
A cold light flashed in Xue Zengi’s eyes and she faintly said, “Wanting to shut this teahouse is possible, but do you have the power to make afraid? Wouldn’t I be a laughingstock if I shut my teahouse down just because of your empty statents?”
Tang Xiu pointed to Chang Zhao and asked, “Your power, or rather, the power behind you, which one is stronger than his?”
After mulling over for a few seconds, Xue Zengi slowly said, “There’s no choice between the two.”
“You said it’s fairly equal. Then, if I can make this brat kowtow and apologize like a slave, can you say that I have the ability to make you shut down this teahouse?”
“That’s right.”
Xue Zengi was curious about Tang Xiu. She really wanted to see what this man could do. Could he really make Chang Zhao kowtow to him?
Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone and found Chang Guoxin’s cell number from the docunts and dialed it afterward.
At the Southern Military Barracks.
Chang Guoxin had gotten up very early in the morning. Although he was now in a high position, he still maintained his exercising habit, so he still had a great physique. He had just finished his jogging and poured a glass of water when his phone on the table rang.
He had been in a good mood recently since he was able to finally topple his sworn enemy thanks to House Tang’s assistance. The news had even been passed down that he was very likely to go further. It must be noted that going higher was very difficult once one had achieved such a high position as him unless that person had support from a powerful backer. It was for this reason that he was getting closer to House Tang, and even dreading their power more.
He had even made up his mind to keep hugging this big tree tightly as it was very possible to add two more stars on his shoulder in the future.
“Who the heck is calling at this hour?”
Chang Guoxin grabbed the phone and saw the number displayed on the screen. It was an unfamiliar number, presumably from the Shanghai area, which made him imdiately want to reject the call. But he thought that it could be from his cherished nephew who happened to be in Shanghai, so he hesitated. Finally, he picked it up and said, “Who is this?”
“I’m Tang Xiu from House Tang,” an indifferent voice replied from the phone.
Chang Guoxin was shaken inwardly and his eyes flickered. Although he was not a mber of House Tang, he knew so facts about this family, especially the information on Tang Xiu. He was very clear that the aged patriarch of this house, Tang Guosheng, treated and fostered Tang Xiu as the heir and successor of the family. He even took this young man more seriously than his own three sons.
His expression instantly changed at this mont. Due to Tang Xiu likely being the Head of House Tang in the future, he replied very humbly, “I didn’t expect you to call , Young Master Tang. May I know if there’s anything I can do for you?”
“Is Chang Zhao your nephew?” asked Tang Xiu lightly. “He has caused a lot of troubles and he only got two ways before him now.”
An earthquake shook Chang Guoxin’s heart and he hastily replied, “Did that Chang Zhao that bastard provoke you, Young Master Tang? If so, please rest assured. I’ll teach him a lesson to make a formal apology to you.”
“Provoking is just a minor issue. But I’m going to give you your due respect and let this matter go this ti,” said Tang Xiu faintly. “The person he has provoked is soone from the state’s Special Abilities Bureau. I’m sure these people are no stranger to you, no?”
GASP...
Chang Guoxin drew a cold breath and said in shock, “Young Master Tang, I do know so facts about the Special Abilities Bureau. They are a bunch of... terrifying ability users. But you ntioned about two options before. May I know which one can keep that good-for-nothing brat’s life?”
“The first one is to let those from the Special Abilities Bureau to investigate him and you can wait for him to be executed secretly,” said Tang Xiu lightly. “The second one is to send him to a military court which he’ll very likely be sentenced to death with a treason charge. No matter which one, these two roads before him will end up with his death. Certainly, I can also save his poor life, but he keeps yelling before my face, screaming arrogantly that he has an uncle who’s an army general. Now you tell , do I need to use my ans for such a brat?”
“The military court?” Chang Guoxing hurriedly replied, “How co there are other military courts? What exactly did he do, Young Master Tang? To think that...”
