At this moment …
Hu Qingsong's group found four bodyguards in black suits standing in the courtyard. They looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression and then followed Tan Xiu into the villa's hall.
Once!
Hu Qingsong, Zhao Liang, Mu Wanying, and the others had been to Tan Xiu's villa, but Zhao Liang's other three roommates had never been here. Although they heard that Tan Xiu lived in the Bluestar Villa Complex on the way, they didn't expect it to be so luxurious. After entering the hall, they were just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, shocked and at a loss.
"Brother Tang, who are they?"
Li Laoshan came out of the dining room and immediately looked surprised upon seeing the group of people coming in.
"Old Brother Li, they're all my schoolmates," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "This is Old Brother Li, my friend."
"Hello, Old Brother Li!"
Although this was the first time they saw Li Laoshan, they could feel that he was not an ordinary person from his imposing manner. Coupled with the four bodyguards in the courtyard outside, they greeted him one after another.
Li Laoshan said with a smile, "Hello! Do you want to have a drink together? "
Hu Qingsong, Yue Kai, and the others looked at each other in dismay and immediately shook their heads. "It's too late today. I'll drink with you another day, Old Brother Li," said Yue Kai.
"You guys chat, then. I just came here from another place and I'm starving, so I won't entertain you." Li Laoshan said with a smile.
"..."
Everyone looked at Li Laoshan's round waist and broad shoulders, as well as his plump face. They were secretly speechless. He was already so fat, how could he be called "so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back"? Then what about their small bodies?
"Alright, take a seat!" Tan Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile.
After everyone took a seat in the living room, Yue Kai curiously asked, "Big Bro Tang, who is this Old Brother Li? Those four in the courtyard … should be his bodyguards, right? Also, the belle who just came out with him seems to be his secretary or assistant … "
Tan Xiu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Your eyes are quite sharp! Brother Li is a northerner, a big boss in the steel business. "
Hu Qingsong's expression suddenly changed. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remember who he is! No wonder I felt that he looked familiar. Li Laoshan was a steel tycoon in the northeast with assets of tens of billions. He was definitely a great figure. I once saw an interview with him in an economic report. Oh my god! Big Bro Tang, aren't you too amazing? You even know such an awesome person? "
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't know Old Brother Li's identity when I met him. Also, when making friends, you don't have to care about the other party's identity. As long as you get along well, you can become friends. "
Hu Qingsong gave him a thumbs up and praised, "You're truly worthy of being Big Bro Tang. What you said may seem light and breezy, but it's full of truth. I, I'm convinced! "
"Big Bro Tang, I used to think that I'm awesome enough," said Yue Kai with a face full of approval. "Because of my family background, I got to know a lot of people in the business world through my Dad. But now, I'm nothing compared to you. From now on, you're my idol. Come, accept my knee. "
"Fuck off …"
Tan Xiu cursed with a smile.
Ding, dong …
The courtyard's doorbell rang again.
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. A strange expression appeared on his face as he muttered, "Who is it this time? My place used to be deserted. How come it's so lively tonight? "
After saying that!
He pressed the remote control button on the key. As he walked out of the villa's hall, he saw Liu Changxi, along with several members of the Security Department, as well as Zhang Xinya and her agent, coming in from the courtyard.
"Director Liu, Xinya!"
Tan Xiu greeted them with a smile.
Upon seeing Tan Xiu, Zhang Xinya looked a bit excited. She originally wanted to speak, but she glanced at Liu Changxi and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
With a trace of seriousness on his face, Liu Changxi said, "Tan Xiu, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late. But I have something important to discuss with you, so …"
"It's alright," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "But there are a lot of guests at home, so I'll greet them first. Let's go to my study room to talk."
"Guests?"
Liu Changxi stared blankly for a moment. He immediately thought of those mysterious people who appeared near the New World Center, so he nodded without hesitation and followed Tan Xiu into the villa.
"Heavens! I'm not dreaming, am I? W-W-W-Goddess … Zhang Xinya? Qingsong, quickly pinch me. Let me see if I'm dreaming or not! " Zhao Liang looked at the door. When his eyes moved from Liu Changxi and the others to Zhang Xinya, he immediately jumped up and exclaimed in disbelief.
Hu Qingsong ignored him because he was also dumbfounded.
At this moment …
There were only two people who were sober, Mu Wanying and Yue Kai. Mu Wanying had been very silent tonight. Now that she saw Zhang Xinya, she suddenly felt that her mood was even worse. Yue Kai, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Xinya with a strange expression before his eyes fell on Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu looked at the expressions of his classmates and secretly smiled wryly inside. However, he was too lazy to introduce them to each other, so he directly said, "You guys continue playing. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Xinya, the concert just ended. You must be very hungry now, right? Take them to the dining room. My friends are having dinner there, as well as some of my adopted children. You should also go inside and eat something! "
"I'm not hungry." Zhang Xinya shook her head and said, "I want to go to the study room with you."
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Even if you go there, you won't be able to participate in our discussion. Don't worry! Tonight's matter has been resolved, so it's quite satisfactory. Let's go eat. "
"I …"
Zhang Xinya hesitated for a moment before she finally nodded obediently.
This scene …
Except for Mu Wanying, everyone else was completely dumbfounded. Never in their dreams did they expect that the aloof and remote superstar, the Goddess Zhang Xinya, would turn out to be like a well-behaved wife and be so obedient. What exactly was the relationship between her and Tan Xiu?
"Huh? Another guest came? "
Li Laoshan came out of the dining room. When his eyes fell on Zhang Xinya, a surprised look appeared on his face. His complexion instantly changed when he saw Liu Changxi. Immediately after, he strode toward Liu Changxi and said with an obsequious smile, "Secretary … Mr. Liu, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"I didn't expect that the guest Tan Xiu mentioned would be you," said Liu Changxi with a smile. "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for several years, but you're still as elegant as ever!"
Li Laoshan laughed aloud and said, "It's all thanks to Brother Liu! That's right, you and Tan Xiu … "
"I'm Tan Xiu's friend," said Liu Changxi with a smile. "I came to talk to him about something this time."
Li Laoshan's heart skipped a beat. He instantly looked at Tan Xiu with an inquiring expression. He knew Liu Changxi's true identity. They had been in contact for a period of time a few years ago. It was a big case in the Northeast, and the people from the State Security Department stayed there for a long time.
He was worried!
He was worried that Liu Changxi would look for Tan Xiu and make things difficult for Tan Xiu.
"Old Brother Li, Secretary Liu and I are indeed friends," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Don't worry! "You can continue eating first. I'll come down and accompany you to drink after we're done talking."
"This …"
Li Laoshan was somewhat hesitant.
"Brother Li, Tan Xiu has helped me a lot this time." Liu Changxi smilingly said, "Part of the reason I came here this time is to thank him."
He would never explain to Li Laoshan if it were in the past. But after learning that Li Laoshan turned out to be Tan Xiu's friend, he naturally didn't want to neglect him. Not to mention Tan Xiu's ability and identity, just Tan Xiu's actions tonight made him secretly grateful.
Upon hearing this, Li Laoshan immediately felt relieved. He nodded and smilingly said, "Since you have something to talk about, then go ahead! If Brother Liu has time, let's have a drink after you're done. "
"Alright!"
Liu Changxi nodded and followed Tan Xiu to the second floor.
In the study room.
Tan Xiu beckoned Liu Changxi to take a seat. He casually took a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and poured two glasses. After handing one to Liu Changxi, he said, "Secretary Liu, we've talked about everything. Is there something else you want to talk about with me this late?"
Liu Changxi took the glass of red wine and put it on the tea table in front of him. He looked deeply at Tan Xiu and asked, "How much do you know about our Security Department, Tan Xiu?"
"I don't know much about it." Tan Xiu shook his head.
"Since you don't know much about it, then I'll tell you about it," said Liu Changxi. "Our Security Department is responsible for maintaining the internal stability of the country and severely cracking down on those who pose a threat to the country. We'll investigate any unstable factors to ensure the country's peace and stability, as well as the safety of the people. "
"And then?" Tan Xiu nodded.
"However, what happened tonight? Although Zhang Xinya's concert ended smoothly and the airport didn't suffer too much damage, we only killed two of those extremists," said Liu Changxi. "If my guess is correct, the number of these extremists is far more than that.
"Tonight, our people from the security department, the public security department, and the transportation department worked together to investigate something and discovered that a group of mysterious people appeared near the center of the new world. In the end, they did something and disappeared in an extremely secretive manner."
Having said that …
Liu Changxi stared at Tan Xiu's eyes without blinking and continued, "I came to you for only one purpose, and that is to know the truth!"
"You can go to the Investigation Agency if you want to know the truth, Secretary Liu," said Tan Xiu calmly. "It shouldn't be difficult for you to find out the truth given your authority and ability. Why did you come here to find me?"
"Tan Xiu, you're the only one who participated in tonight's operation aside from us." Liu Changxi shook his head. "One extremist was captured at each of the four gates of the New World Center and then taken away quietly. I think you should know about it."
"I really don't know what you're talking about," said Tan Xiu with a frown.
Liu Changxi stared at Tan Xiu and said word by word, "We're all sensible people, Tan Xiu. Do you really want me to say it so clearly? Or do you want to be watched by our Security Department and then find those people through you? "
