Gamblers would lose their money like a bottomless pit. Even if they were used to being filthy rich, they still couldn't afford to bet on the gambling table. Tang Xiu had personally witnessed gamblers losing their entire family's fortune. He had also witnessed gamblers selling their children, wives, and elders.
"Jia Ruidao didn't lose his life in gambling, which is already a blessing in misfortune. I already know about the matter between you and Master. If there's nothing else, you can leave now. "
Gong Dalong was stunned. He didn't expect that after listening to the whole story, Tan Xiu would unexpectedly ask him to leave. What did he mean by this? Did he refuse to help?
"Grandmaster Tang, you …"
Tan Xiu interrupted him and said, "Didn't I express it clearly enough? I really can't help you in this matter. "
Gong Dalong asked with difficulty, "Why? My Master said that your gambling skills are better than his. If you are given a little guidance and training, your gambling skills will be much better than my Master. "
"Let me correct you a few points." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "First, I'm not interested in gambling, and I have no interest in the training you said. Second, if you want to be a professional gambler, you must be mentally prepared to lose all your fortune. Third, there's only one month left before I take the College Entrance Test. Not to mention that it's impossible for the school to give me a vacation, I won't be able to explain it to my mother. "
Gong Dalong looked anxious as he knelt in front of Tan Xiu and begged, "Grandmaster Tang, I beg you. Please help my Master! As long as you're willing to help me, not only will I offer all my fortune to you, but I'll also be willing to serve you after I take care of my Master. "
"..."
Looking at Gong Dalong, Tan Xiu suddenly remembered his old slave in the Immortal World. That loyal and devoted old slave followed him in order to repay his kindness. He didn't know what happened to him after he was plotted against.
Gong Dalong spoke again, "Grandmaster Tang, I'll be responsible for solving the school's matter and your mother's problem. I won't make things difficult for you."
Tan Xiu stared blankly and asked with a confused expression, "Can you solve it?"
Gong Dalong confidently said, "I can. If I can't solve it, I won't bother you anymore. "
Tan Xiu stood up and said, "If that's the case, I'll wait."
Gong Dalong was overjoyed. He originally thought that it would take some effort to get Tan Xiu to agree. He didn't expect Tan Xiu to agree so easily. Instantly, he felt a deep sense of gratitude. However, seeing that Tan Xiu had the intention to send him off, he immediately said, "Please wait for my news, Grandmaster Tang! It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer. "
"Take care!"
Tan Xiu nodded calmly.
The Imperial Capital at night was unusually bustling.
A white Porsche Cayenne shuttled through the traffic. In the driver's seat, Kang Xia was listening to the melodious light music while thinking about something in her mind.
Ring, ring, ring …
The ringtone of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts.
As she put on her Bluetooth headset, she answered the call and said, "This is Kang Xia."
"Tan Xiu's information has been sent to your email. However, the information you've provided is too little. I've screened it, and there are two people who meet your conditions. "
"Alright!"
Kang Xia took off the headset and turned the steering wheel. She turned right at the intersection ahead and stopped at the roadside after moving forward for 100 meters. Immediately after, she grabbed the laptop from the front seat and quickly opened the email, silently looking at it.
Quickly.
Her expression turned a bit strange. One of them was a timber business man named Tan Xiu, but she directly excluded him. But the second one … turned out to be a high school student?
"A former genius turned into a waste after a car accident?"
Kang Xia's black brows tightly wrinkled as a thoughtful expression flashed in her eyes. If not for this comment, she would have directly given up the idea in her heart. After a moment, she put the laptop back on the front seat and decided to go to Star City herself.
She dialed the phone again and said, "Andy, help me book a flight ticket to Star City tomorrow morning."
"No problem!"
The sensual voice sounded. However, she hesitated for a moment and curiously asked, "Boss, what are you going to do in Star City? Don't tell me you're going to see that Tan Xiu? "
An arc curled on the corner of Kang Xia's mouth. A smile rippled as she said, "Haven't you guys been quarreling about being bored recently? I really want to smell a trace of opportunity. If this trip to Star City is successful, then I really want to congratulate you. You're about to start working. "
"Hooray!"
The sensual voice sounded pleasantly surprised.
As the saying goes, the spring is the best time to plan for a year, and the morning is the best time to plan for a day.
Early in the morning, the bright and beautiful sun shone on the Earth, bringing warmth to the world. Tan Xiu, who had been absent from school for many days, finally rushed to school.
As he entered Class 10, he saw a messy classroom with many students gathered together and chatting. Yuan Chuling, on the other hand, was silently sitting in the classroom, looking at the textbook in his hand.
"Has this kid changed his nature?"
Tan Xiu muttered inwardly as he strode toward his seat.
The moment Tan Xiu entered the classroom, the originally messy scene turned quiet. Almost all the students were aware of Tan Xiu's arrival, and their eyes were fixedly staring at Tan Xiu.
"This extremely daring guy actually came to class today. Isn't he afraid of being taught a lesson by Miss Han?" A voice suddenly sounded, and it immediately caused a clamor.
"Yeah! Miss Han's mood is obviously bad these days. She even stared at Tan Xiu's seat many times during class. I reckon that Miss Han can't wait to drive this guy out of the class. "
"I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen such an arrogant one! He came back as if nothing happened, but Miss Han was angered by him. He's really annoying. "
"A rat's poop stinks a pot of porridge. What bad luck! Why is this guy in our class? If I were Miss Han, I'd directly take a broom and drive him out. "
"Ignorant and incompetent!"
"…"
Tan Xiu's hearing was extremely sharp, and he could clearly hear the discussion of every student in the class. However, he didn't care.
Mediocre people were mediocre, and there was no point in saying more.
Just like that wise saying: The world slandered me, deceived me, humiliated me, laughed at me, belittled me, despised me, hated me, and lied to me. How to deal with it? Just endure it, let it be, avoid it, endure it, respect it, and ignore it. Wait a few years and you'll see how it turns out.
Tan Xiu liked this saying very much. If you bicker with a fool, you'll also become a fool. He didn't want to be a fool, so he directly chose to ignore it.
"Boss, you're here."
Yuan Chuling finally noticed Tan Xiu's arrival, and immediately stood up with a face full of excitement.
Tan Xiu didn't expect that Yuan Chuling would have such a big reaction. He patted his shoulder, hinting him to sit down, and then sat on his own seat. However, what puzzled him was that Cheng Yannan, who was sitting in front of him, turned around and asked in a low voice that only the three of them could hear, "Tan Xiu, were you the one who killed those organ traffickers?"
Tan Xiu pretended to be confused and asked back, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand? "
Cheng Yannan frowned and said, "Wasn't it you? My big sister said that it was a young man, and you've been absent from class for the past few days. I thought you were the hero who helped the weak and eliminated the evil for the people! "
"Have you read too many martial arts novels?" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
Cheng Yannan's pretty face blushed as she hurriedly turned around.
Yuan Chuling glanced at Cheng Yannan's back. Then, he approached Tan Xiu and whispered with a grateful expression, "Boss, thank you."
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment before he suddenly understood and whispered, "You know about it?"
Yuan Chuling nodded and said, "Mom told me everything. I knew it was you who did it according to her description. Boss, I'll keep this friendship at the bottom of my heart. In any case, I'll be your follower in the future. You can't get rid of me. "
"Go to hell!"
Tan Xiu cursed with a smile.
Amidst the laughter, the classroom quieted down again. Han Qingwu, the teacher-in-charge of Class 10, entered the classroom with a cold face. When she saw Tan Xiu, she immediately said in a deep voice, "Come out, Tan Xiu!"
Tan Xiu raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose. He could tell from Han Qingwu's harsh tone that she didn't come with good intentions. Glancing at Yuan Chuling, whose face was full of sympathy, Tan Xiu stepped on Yuan Chuling's foot under the table and walked outside amidst Yuan Chuling's screams of pain.
In the corridor.
Han Qingwu's face was gloomy as she stared at Tan Xiu. She didn't speak for a long time.
As time passed by, Tan Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke the silence. He forced a smile and said, "Miss Han, you called me out in a hurry the moment you saw me. Don't tell me that you want to see flowers on my face?"
Upon hearing it, Han Qingwu suddenly got angry and angrily said, "You still have the nerve to smile and have a glib tongue in front of me? Believe it or not, I'll … deal with you immediately. Tell me, why did you lie to me a few days ago? It's fine that you skipped class, but you even made me personally escort you out of school. That's simply outrageous. "
"…"
Tan Xiu's face was full of black lines.
He originally thought that Han Qingwu was angry at him for skipping class, but he didn't expect that she would take it to heart that he made her escort him out of school. Because he was in the wrong, Tan Xiu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Well, Miss Han, there's a reason for it. I left in a hurry at that time and didn't even have time to say goodbye to you. It's indeed my fault. You have a big belly and a big heart, so please don't lower yourself to the level of an honest student like me. "
"You have a big belly and a big heart!"
Han Qingwu rolled her eyes at Tan Xiu and almost said those contemptuous words out loud. He's an honest student? If he were an honest student, then there would be no dishonest student in the world. Which honest student would dare to blatantly skip class? What's more hateful is that he even dared to let the head teacher escort him to skip class?
"Well, since you said there's a reason, I'd like to hear it. What's the reason that makes you skip class so naturally?" Han Qingwu didn't intend to let Tan Xiu go. She thought about the grievance she felt in her heart these days and felt that it was necessary to give Tan Xiu some eye drops. Now, there was not much time left before the College Entrance Exam. She must ensure that Tan Xiu would review his homework well and get a good result in the exam.
