Bam …
The office's door was kicked open from the outside as Wolf Head and Li Yuquan strode into the room. After Chang Zhao and the woman looked at him, Tan Xiu leisurely walked in from the outside.
The woman's expression shifted. She had seen Li Yuquan's photo and recognized him in a flash, but she couldn't recognize Wolf Head and Tan Xiu.
"Who are you?"
Asked the woman indifferently as she walked two steps forward. She could tell that Tan Xiu was extraordinary.
Tan Xiu glanced at her indifferently before his eyes immediately fell on Chang Zhao. He walked to Chang Zhao's side and pushed him away. Then, he sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, saying lightly, "Are you Chang Zhao?"
Chang Zhao vaguely felt that Tan Xiu looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. However, Tan Xiu's action of pushing him made him angry. He coldly snorted and said, "I am. Where the hell did you come from? Do you want to stand up for this Li Yuquan? "
"That's right. I want to stand up for him." Tan Xiu nodded. As the saying goes, one shouldn't get into trouble with one's wife and children. It's fine if you want to mess with Li Yuquan, but threatening him with his wife and children is against the rules. "
"Rules are made by those with strength. Li Yuquan is just a pitiful worm, a chess piece abandoned by others," sneered Chang Zhao. "I don't care who you are, Brat. But don't poke your nose into other people's business today, else your fate will be no better than Li Yuquan's!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Tan Xiu took a puff of his cigarette and sneered. "I would've killed you now if you didn't have a good uncle. It can be considered as getting rid of any future troubles. Anyways, I don't want to waste my breath with you. Hand over Li Yuquan's wife and children and I'll let this matter go. I won't let you off lightly if you dare to do such despicable things again in the future. "
Chang Zhao squinted his eyes. He could faintly feel that this man was just putting on an act and didn't have any power. Moreover, he seemed to be very afraid of his uncle. With such a thought in mind, Chang Zhao's arrogance suddenly soared. He turned around and walked to the opposite side of Tan Xiu. He also sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and sneered, "Brat, since you know who my uncle is, you should know that I'm not a pushover. If you want to play with me, I'll play with you today. "
"Who do you think you are?"
Tan Xiu looked at Chang Zhao as though he was looking at an idiot. He shook his head and said, "I've seen your uncle's information. He's a capable person, but how can his nephew be so idiotic?"
Chang Zhao's face turned cold and he angrily shouted, "Say that again? Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize my uncle? "
"Pa …"
Jin Shi strode forward and fiercely slapped Chang Zhao's face, sending him flying from the sofa to the ground.
At this moment …
Four strong men rushed in from outside the door. When they saw Chang Zhao who was obviously beaten up, their expressions suddenly changed. They rushed to Chang Zhao's side and helped him up from the ground.
Chang Zhao covered his cheek, but he didn't give the order to fight back. He knew Li Yuquan's identity as the former captain of the Blue Eagle special force. His four bodyguards were not his match at all. He knew that he had to be patient and wait for a large number of security guards under Sister Xue's control to arrive. That was when he would retaliate.
After touching his cheek, Chang Zhao suddenly grinned and gave a thumbs up to Jin Shi. He then walked back to the sofa opposite Tan Xiu and sat down again. Then, he coldly said, "Someone once punched me, so I sent my men to chop off his arms. Someone once kicked me twice, so I sent my men to break his limbs. I'm not threatening you. I'm just telling the truth. You must have something to rely on since you dare to make trouble here. Now, I'll give you some time to make a phone call. Use all your means and call all the people you can. I used to be a schemer and unscrupulous person. But this time, I don't want to play that trick anymore. I'll play fair and square with you. "
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Since you're Chang Guoxin's nephew, I'll give you a good lesson today. When facing an enemy, regardless of whether the other party is a monstrous overlord or an ant in the mud, you must clearly investigate the details of the other party. You must never take them lightly. Know the enemy and know yourself, and you'll be invincible in every battle. Underestimating the enemy will likely cause you to fail miserably. "
"I don't need you to preach to me," sneered Chang Zhao.
It was Xue Zengmei, the woman in a cheongsam with flaming red lips. Her eyes had been firmly locked on Tan Xiu the moment he entered the room. In recent years, she had been helping her father manage the security company in secret and had spent a lot of time training the security guards. Therefore, she wasn't well-informed and sometimes didn't contact the outside world for months, so she couldn't recognize the young man in front of her.
But …
She was very confident in her ability to recognize people. She had a deep impression of Tan Xiu at first glance, but that was just her external memory. However, ever since Tan Xiu came to the office, his every move and every word and action exuded the aura of a superior, which made her secretly vigilant.
"That's right."
Xue Zengmei agreed with Tan Xiu's last sentence. Although they were in a hostile state at the moment, there was still a bit of appreciation in her eyes.
"Your Excellency doesn't look like an ordinary person. May I know how to address you?"
Tan Xiu glanced at Xue Zengmei again and indifferently said, "Don't you know how to introduce yourself before asking others' identity?"
Xue Zengmei's expression slightly changed, but she still replied, "I'm Xue Zengmei. You can call me Boss Xue or Miss Xue. I'm the owner of this teahouse."
Tan Xiu indifferently said, "You're the owner of this teahouse, which means you're helping the wicked do evil deeds. From today onwards, close this teahouse of yours! "
A cold light flashed in Xue Zengmei's eyes and she lightly said, "It's not impossible for me to close this teahouse, but you have to show me a trump card that will make me dread, right? Otherwise, wouldn't I be laughed at by others if I shut down this teahouse with just a few words of yours? "
Tan Xiu pointed to Chang Zhao and asked, "How is your strength, or the force behind you, compared to him?"
Xue Zengmei pondered for a few seconds and slowly said, "Between the two of us."
"Since it's between the two of us, as long as I can make this brat bow and scrape like a slave and apologize, does that mean I have the ability to make you close this teahouse?" Tan Xiu said.
"Yes!"
Xue Zengmei became more curious about Tan Xiu. She really wanted to see what kind of ability Tan Xiu had to make Chang Zhao bow and scrape to him.
Tan Xiu took out his mobile. He found Chang Guoxin's private phone number from the information and dialed it. * * *
At the Southern Military Region.
Chang Guoxin got up very early as usual. Even though he was now in a high position, he still maintained the habit of exercising, so his physical fitness was very good. He had just finished his jog and poured a glass of water, but before he could drink it, his mobile phone on the table rang.
He had been in a good mood recently. With the help of the Tang Family's cultivation, he finally defeated his arch-enemy. Even the news from the top said that he might be able to go further in the near future. It must be noted that it was very difficult to go further at his current level unless he had the support of others. It was also because of this reason that he was closer to the Tang Family and was more and more apprehensive about the Tang Family's power.
Chang Guoxin even secretly decided that he must cling to this big tree, the Tang Family. It was even possible for him to have two more stars on his shoulders in the future.
"Who's calling me at this time?"
Chang Guoxin grabbed his mobile and saw the caller ID. It turned out to be an unfamiliar number from Shanghai. He immediately wanted to hang up. However, he recalled that his precious nephew was still in the Imperial Capital, so he hesitated for a moment before he answered the call and said, "Who is it?"
"I'm Tan Xiu, Tan Xiu of the Tang Family."
An indifferent voice came out of the phone.
Chang Guoxin's heart was shaken and his eyes flickered. Although he was not a member of the Tang Family, he knew some things about the Tang Family, especially some things about Tan Xiu. He was very clear that the Tang Family's old patriarch, Tang Guosheng, had begun to train Tan Xiu as the future successor of the Tang Family. The degree of importance he attached to him was even higher than that of his three sons.
In an instant, his expression changed.
Perhaps it was because Tang Xiu was likely to become the next head of the Tang Family. His attitude was very humble as he said, "Young Master Tang, I didn't expect that you would look for me. May I know what instructions do you have for me? "
"Chang Zhao is my nephew, right?" Tan Xiu lightly said. "He's in big trouble and there are only two paths in front of him now. “
Chang Guoxin was greatly shaken and hurriedly said, "Young Master Tang, did that bastard Chang Zhao offend you? If so, you can rest assured that I'll teach him a good lesson and make him apologize to you. "
"It's just a trivial matter that he provoked me. I'll give you face and let him off this time," Tan Xiu lightly said. "But the one he provoked is someone from the state's Special Abilities Bureau. I'm sure you're no stranger to those people, no? "
Hiss …
Chang Guoxin gasped and said in amazement, "Young Master Tang, I know a bit about the situation of the Special Abilities Bureau. They are a group of … terrifyingly powerful ability users. May I ask which are the two paths you just mentioned? Can you save that little bastard Chang Zhao's life? "
"The first path is to wait for the Special Abilities Bureau's people to investigate him and wait for a secret execution," Tan Xiu lightly said. "The second path is to be sent to the military court and be executed for treason. No matter which of these two paths he chose, they were both dead ends. As for me, of course I can save his life. But he's now clamoring in front of me, relying on his uncle who's a General. He's very arrogant. Tell me, do I need to use any means to save such a brat? "
"A military court?" Chang Guoxin hurriedly asked. "How come there's another military court? Young Master Tang, what exactly did he do to unexpectedly … "
