Tan Xiu calmly looked at Cheng Yannan's incredulous expression and indifferently said, "My identity is very special, so I can't explain it clearly in just a few words. Since we've met and we'll have a lot of time together, I'll let you know some things that are hard for ordinary people to know. But you still have to answer my question! "
Cheng Yannan calmed down her surging mood. She turned around and walked a few steps toward the island. She stopped next to a thick tree and bitterly said, "Tan Xiu, I believe you also know that I'm a member of the Cheng Family in the Imperial Capital. My sister and I were even ostracized by our family. After returning to the Imperial Capital, I should have continued to enjoy my university life and have a fulfilling and relaxing time in my studies.
"But just half a month ago, my sister went missing while handling a criminal case and there's no news of her since then. My only backing is my sister. My family members don't like us sisters, so they began to target me and forced me to marry the infamous Chu Xiang of the Chu Family in the Imperial Capital. Do you know? Chu Xiang is known as one of the Four Calamities in the Imperial Capital. He has done countless stupid things and has harmed dozens of girls. He wants me to marry him so that I can climb up the Chu Family's high branch. How could I agree? "
Seeing that Cheng Yannan stopped talking, Tan Xiu lightly said, "Don't you still have an uncle? Your Cheng Family and the Yao Family have a close relationship, so how could the elders of the Cheng Family dare to force you? "
"That's right. Yao Qingteng is indeed my uncle, but he doesn't have any familial affection for us sisters. I'm afraid he wouldn't even look at me if we didn't have such a relationship." Cheng Yannan sneered. Fortunately … Yao Qingteng's wife, my aunt, likes me very much. If it weren't for my aunt's plea, how could he have brought me here? How could there be a place for me among the women who serve tea and pour water? "
Tan Xiu fell into silence.
Cheng Yannan bitterly said, "I can't stay in the Imperial Capital anymore. If I hadn't coincidentally learned that Yao Qingteng was bringing people to the South China Sea, I'm afraid I would've already escaped from the Imperial Capital and fled somewhere else. Although I don't know what they're going to do on Clam Island, I've made up my mind that I'll stay here even if there's only a one in a million chance. Or I'll take the opportunity to leave Jingmen Island alone. "
Tan Xiu sighed inwardly and asked, "Where's Yao Qingteng?"
Cheng Yannan pointed to the depths of the island and said, "He took a few people and went inside. He should be back in the evening. "
"The Yao Family can't get this Clam Island." Tan Xiu nodded. Since you don't want to go back, you can stay here from now on! "
Cheng Yannan's eyes lit up and she asked, "What do you mean?"
"This Clam Island will be mine in the future," said Tan Xiu confidently. "Even if the Yao Family exhausts all their strength, they won't be able to get it from me. I want to plant medicinal herbs here in the future. Since we're acquaintances, you can stay and help me. I'll also satisfy your salary. "
Cheng Yannan pondered for a moment before she nodded and said, "I hope you can get this Clam Island in the future. But you've killed so many people of the Yao Family, they won't let it go! Tan Xiu, you probably don't know how powerful the Yao Family is, right? Let me tell you, the Yao Family … "
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her and calmly said, "I've already experienced how powerful the Yao Family is. Perhaps you don't know that my surname is Tang, and I'm a member of the Tang Family in the Imperial Capital. "
"The Tang Family?"
Cheng Yannan's eyes narrowed as she involuntarily exclaimed out loud.
"That's right. The Tang Family." Tan Xiu nodded.
"Tan Xiu, I didn't expect that you're a member of the Tang Family in the Imperial Capital. The Tang Family and the Yao Family … I get it. No wonder you showed no mercy to the Yao Family. I know a bit about the grievances between your two families. "
"Let's go!" Tan Xiu smiled indifferently. "You'll stay on our liner first. After we deal with Yao Qingteng's group, no one from the Yao Family will set foot on this island again. You'll stay here later. I'll arrange some people to provide you with food, clothing, and shelter. I'll also leave some people here to protect you. "
Cheng Yannan looked dazed. She hesitated and asked, "Tan Xiu, you want to kill Yao … Yao Qingteng?"
"Do you think he can still leave?" asked Tan Xiu.
Cheng Yannan gritted her teeth and said, "Tan Xiu, can you promise me something?"
"If you want to plead for Yao Qingteng, I think you can forget about it," said Tan Xiu.
"I don't want to plead leniency for Yao Qingteng." Cheng Yannan shook her head and said, "He doesn't have any familial love for me. What I want to ask you is, if the Tangs and the Yaos really shed all pretense of cordiality in the future and your two families have a life-and-death battle, can you spare my aunt's life if your family wins?"
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "I promise you."
Cheng Yannan shot a grateful look at Tan Xiu. As she was about to follow him to the liner, she suddenly recalled something and quickly asked, "You haven't told me yet. How did you fly me just now?"
"Don't ask this question again if you want to stay on this Clam Island," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "There are some things I won't tell you now. But if you work for me in the future and I'm satisfied with your work, you'll know a lot of things."
Cheng Yannan was silent for a moment before she suddenly smiled and asked, "Since you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. But can you answer my other question? The last one! "
"Ask away!"
Said Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Do you have a girlfriend while you're studying in Shanghai?" asked Cheng Yannan.
"Let's talk about feelings later," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "You must study well when you're studying and learn more things during your four years in university. Besides, I still have a lot of things to do. How can I have the leisure time to talk about love? "
An extraordinary splendor flashed in Cheng Yannan's eyes as she said with a smile, "I agree with your idea. You must focus on your career when you're young. Let's go! "
Tan Xiu took Cheng Yannan back to the coast and saw the small liner sinking in the distant sea, whereas the liner he took was returning to the coast. When the liner docked, Tan Xiu took Cheng Yannan to the deck and said, "She's my high school classmate. Let her stay on our liner! Also, the Yao Family's people are also on the island. Kill them directly once they appear. Xiaoxue, come with me to the island. "
"Alright!"
Xiaoxue smiled and nodded to Cheng Yannan. Then, she followed Tan Xiu and floated down the ship. Their figures gradually disappeared into the woods on the island.
The primitive woods were lush with trees.
The duo seemed to be strolling leisurely, but their speed was actually very fast. Just a light step could take them seven to eight meters away. As the duo continued to go deeper, they saw a lot of medicinal herbs. Many of them were common herbs, but they could also occasionally see precious ones. There were also a lot of wild animals on this island.
Ten minutes later …
Just as Tan Xiu and Gu Xiaoxue stepped on the highest point in the center of the island, a scream reached their ears. It was accompanied by intense gunshots and several panicked shouts.
"RUN! SCATTER AND RUN! GATHER AT THE SHORELINE WHERE THE SHIP IS PARKED! "
"FUCK THOSE FUCKING MONSTERS! GET LOST …"
BAM, BAM, BAM …
Tan Xiu and Gu Xiaoxue glanced at each other and tacitly rushed toward the source of the sound. While running, they even soared into the air, stepping on the branches that were more than ten meters high and constantly flew on the trees.
Ten seconds later, the duo stood on the branches of a big tree and looked down at the two fierce beasts that looked like rhinos. The beasts glared fiercely at the six men who were fleeing in panic. Behind them were two corpses that had been bitten off.
"The skin is very thick and bullets can't penetrate it. It's very fast. The speed of these people can't be compared with it at all. Grand Master, they're dead for sure. "Gu Xiaoxue's eyes didn't have the slightest trace of pity as she calmly watched the six men being chased.
"Although bullets can hinder these two fierce beasts and slow them down a lot, but as you said, they're dead for sure." Tan Xiu nodded. "If my guess is correct, the middle-aged man being protected by those two should be Yao Qingteng of the Yao Family. Xiaoxue, I suddenly understand one thing. "
"What is it?" Asked Gu Xiaoxue curiously.
"The Yao Family letting Yao Xinhua come to Jingmen Island should be a smokescreen. The one who really contacted the government and prepared to sign the lease contract should be Yao Qingteng," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "If my guess is correct, the ship we just sank has the contract that the Yao Family is preparing to sign."
"Grand Master really has great wisdom." Gu Xiaoxue smiled. "I think so too. After all, Yao Xinhua is too young, and he doesn't understand a lot of principles in the officialdom. Yao Qingteng is also a very important figure in the Yao Family. I'm afraid that he came here personally to inspect Clam Island. Once the final decision is made, he'll negotiate the lease with the government. "
"Bring some people here. After these Yao Family people are dead, dispose of their corpses," said Tan Xiu. "Also, remember to send some people to the sea where the ship was sunk to see if they can find some information from the liner."
"Grand Master, you want me to leave so that you can personally kill those two fierce beasts, right?" Gu Xiaoxue said with a smile. Before we sank the liner, we had already taken back everything we could from the liner. I think it's better for me to stay here and help you. "
"It seems that I really can't hide it from you." Tan Xiu couldn't help but laugh. "You think I don't have the ability to kill these two fierce beasts, don't you? Well, since you're willing to stay here, then stay and have a look! "
In less than a minute.
The two rhinoceros-like fierce beasts had already killed Yao Qingteng's group of six. They even wolfed down all the corpses and didn't even spit out the bones.
"This saves us the trouble of destroying the corpses and erasing the evidence."
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he stood on a tree branch. He softly muttered and then floated down and appeared in front of the two rhinoceros-like fierce beasts.
