Tan Xiu calmly watched his father reunite with his old brothers with a touch of warmth in his eyes. The true nature of a man was revealed, making him realize that he was far inferior compared to his father. This also caused him to lower his guard against his brother in his heart.
However …
No matter how good his brothers were, they were not as strong as him.
Back when he was plotted against in the Immortal World, he always thought that those people were his close friends and true brothers. But it turned out that it was just wishful thinking on his part.
Suddenly …
Tan Xiu's expression shifted and he quietly retreated outside the warehouse. When his figure appeared in the square outside, he glanced at the distance and lightly asked, "Why are you here?"
"Grand Master."
Tang An's figure didn't appear, but her faint voice was transmitted to Tan Xiu's ears. "I just got the news that a group of mysterious experts has been spotted in Yungang City. They have gathered at Heidi's private port and have completely occupied it. Ordinary people can't even approach it. Also, some people with special identities in several cities in the country are rushing there. According to the intel we got, nearly a hundred people have gathered there. The number of people is still increasing. "
"Who's the owner of the port?" asked Tan Xiu with a frown.
"It's Wen Feng," said Tang An. "He's a real estate developer in Yungang and also the richest man in the city. Our men have secretly investigated him and found that there's a problem with his identity. "
"What problem?" asked Tan Xiu.
"Wen Feng has been an orphan since he was a child and lived in an orphanage before he was 12 years old," said Tang An. "Later, a fire broke out in the orphanage and many of its staff and children were burned to death, and many people went missing. Wen Feng was one of the missing people. Six years later, when he was 18 years old, he suddenly appeared in Yungang City and entered One Middle School in the city. He took the College Entrance Test the following year and was admitted to Northern University. But he gave up the opportunity and started his own business in Yungang City.
"It took Wen Feng 21 years to establish the Rivers and Mountains Group and became the richest man in Yungang City with a wealth of 10 billion yuan. Under the Rivers and Mountains Group, not only does it have real estate development, but it also does foreign trade. It has a private port and a dozen large cargo ships. "
Tan Xiu asked indifferently, "What I want to know is Wen Feng's identity."
"Well, most of the funds come from abroad," said Tang An. "Their funds flow into China is very secretive, so much so that the government may not be able to find it even if they deliberately investigate it. But our people can check the capital flow records of some countries abroad."
A strange look flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. What exactly did Wen Feng experience in the six years he was missing? If he had already become a member of a foreign force, then he must have his own motives and schemes for sneaking back into the country.
"Didn't you find out his true identity? And those who rushed over? "
"No!"
"Their whereabouts are erratic and they are very vigilant," said Tang An. "Our intel operatives are very careful, yet they were almost detected several times. Furthermore, several of the people we entrusted have been discovered in order to figure out the flow of Wen Feng's funds abroad. If it weren't for our people not showing up, I'm afraid the other party would have found us. "
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes as countless thoughts churned inside his mind. After a long while of silence, he slowly said, "Let's go to Liangang City tonight and find out who those people are and which organization Wen Feng belongs to."
"Understood!"
After saying that, Tang An didn't move again.
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment before he turned around and walked toward the warehouse. He saw that the stalwart men had gone to train, whereas Li Zaibiao was chatting with his father and Ni Penggang.
"Where did you go, Xiu?"
Tang Yunde saw Tan Xiu coming and immediately waved and asked.
"I just got some special news, so I left for a while," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Dad, I'm glad you can see your former brothers."
"Yeah!" Tang Yunde smiled with satisfaction. "I'm already very satisfied to see my former brothers. Xiu, let me introduce you. This is Li Zaibiao, a military genius who was once a rare talent in the army. "
Tan Xiu looked at Li Zaibiao and nodded with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Uncle Li."
Li Zaibiao carefully observed Tan Xiu and shook his head. "Your physique is too weak, and your scholarly aura is too thick. If you want to be a real warrior, you'll need formidable force. But like father, like son. Your father was the God of War in our eyes back then, so presumably his son won't be bad either. He should be very powerful in other aspects, no? "
"..."
A strange look appeared in Tan Xiu's eyes, whereas Tang Yunde and Ni Penggang rolled their eyes at the same time, secretly finding it funny that Li Zaibiao judged people by their appearance.
Li Zaibiao didn't notice their expressions and continued, "Also, he's very interested in what you just said about the sandbags. If you really have good quality sandbags that can withstand my power, I'll take as many as you have."
Tan Xiu looked at Tang Yunde with an inquiring expression.
Tang Yunde squinted his eyes and exchanged glances with Ni Penggang. He then waved at Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "Since I'm ready to hand them over to you, you can play with them however you want! But don't go too far. Medical fees are very expensive. "
A smile appeared on Tan Xiu's face. He looked at the dazed Li Zaibiao and smilingly said, "Do you think my physique is too weak, Uncle Li? Do you think I have a scholarly aura and can't be compared with a muscular man? "
Li Zaibiao frowned and hesitated for a moment before he said, "Your Uncle Li always says what I want to say, Tan Xiu, and your father knows it. I don't mean to ridicule you, but I really think you're too weak. You need to exercise well in the future. You can come to us later if you want. We can teach you some self-defense moves. "
"Hehe!"
Tan Xiu walked toward the iron rack at the side. He took off his coat and put it on the rack, and then said aloud, "Attention, everyone! Gather here! Your Captain Li thinks I'm too weak, so he wants to teach me some self-defense moves. However, even though I'm very young, I'm not convinced. That's why I'm preparing to challenge Senior Captain Li. If he can defeat me, I'll definitely be like a small soldier in the future. I'll report here every day and learn self-defense moves from everyone. "
His loud voice spread throughout the warehouse in an instant. The strong men, who had returned to their training, stopped one by one and gathered here with strange expressions.
Challenge?
The target of challenge is Captain Li Zaibiao?
The other 79 elites of the security company looked at Tan Xiu as though they were looking at a fool. They all knew that Captain Li Zaibiao's strength was definitely the strongest among them. There was once a martial arts grandmaster expert, and they watched helplessly as he was beaten by their captain.
"How come the son of our idol doesn't inherit our idol's wisdom? He … he actually wants to challenge Captain? Isn't he just looking for a beating? "
"Alas, I thought a tiger father wouldn't beget a dog son. I didn't expect that young man to be so reckless. He didn't inquire about our captain's strength and just took off his coat to challenge him. With our captain's character, he'll never show mercy for Brother Tang. That young man is out of luck. "
"One must know one's limits, else one will die very quickly. Challenging Captain? He might as well find a Tyrannosaurus Rex and challenge him. "
"Young people nowadays! People always like to be impulsive. Does he think that Captain will give him some face in the competition for his father's sake? He's simply stupid. "
"Forget it. Don't watch this show. There's no suspense."
"…"
With his keen hearing, Tan Xiu could hear the discussion of the strong men from the security company. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and the smile on his face turned a bit thicker.
Li Zaibiao quietly looked at Tan Xiu. His heart was full of disappointment. He had a faint feeling that Captain Tang Yunde and Ni Penggang wanted to hand over all his brothers to this young man in front of him. If he had the ability, then he would definitely obey. Even if he didn't have the strength, he could still have the intelligence. After all, they could charge and break through the enemy lines.
But!
Yet, this young man was arrogant enough to challenge him. It was simply a stupid behavior.
Li Zaibiao felt that not only did Tan Xiu not have much strength, but he also didn't have a good brain. If he and his brothers were to be handed over to this brat in front of him, they would definitely be out of luck.
"Are you sure?"
Li Zaibiao looked at the smiling Tan Xiu, and his tone was a bit unfriendly.
Tan Xiu was keenly aware of Li Zaibiao's attitude, but he didn't care about it at all. He lightly smiled and said, "Uncle Li, a man of his word is as good as his horse's whip. Since I've already said it, it means I'm certain. I heard your conversation when I just came in. You can kick a sandbag, so I'm afraid your strength is very terrifying. But don't judge me through the crack of the door. We'll know whether I have the strength or not after we compete. "
Li Zaibiao shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, I would absolutely agree without hesitation, even if the other party is a martial arts grandmaster. But you're the Captain's son, so I can't hurt you even if I don't look at the monk's face. Brat, remember that the Captain is the most respectable person in my heart. "
The smile on Tan Xiu's face disappeared. He slightly furrowed his brows and said, "You're the captain of the security team, so you should know that you can't underestimate any opponent. Else, it will cause the entire security team to suffer huge losses even if you only encounter a love rival once. "
Li Zaibiao ignored Tan Xiu's words. He understood this truth, but Tan Xiu looked fair and clean and didn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all, so he really didn't have the slightest interest in fighting him. Li Zaibiao turned to the young man not far away and waved his hand, saying, "Yang Hu, play with him. Don't be too heavy."
