"No, sir, we must be careful next time and never make the same mistake again." Yu Qi chuckled.
"This cannot be achieved with verbal promises. If you don't work hard, you will end up like this next time." Tang Shi poked their sore spots rudely, "Go and get the money."
"Thank you, sir!" Yu Qi was the first to run to count the gold coins.
The other five people looked a little moved. Tan Ning was the second to stand up, "Thank you, sir."
Then came Dai Liang, Fu Xuanping, and Qiu Yunwei. Ling Fei was the last one to go. He led this team. When such a problem occurred, he was the most responsible and very ashamed.
Tang Shi looked at Ling Fei's listless look and said, "Ling Fei, do you want me to comfort you like this?"
Ling Fei suddenly stood up from the ground. His movement was too fast, which involved his ribs that had not yet recovered. The pain made his face turn pale, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, "No, I didn't do this task well. All the responsibility lies with me." I'll carry it."
"Okay, in that case, your qualification to lead the team for two months will be cancelled. Your team members can be handed over to Cong Yun and Xiang Zhen first, and you can reflect on yourself." Tang Shi was also annoyed by Ling Fei, a stubborn guy. If you want to be punished so much, then let him do it.
"Yes, sir." Ling Fei accepted the punishment.
When the other five people heard this, they all stood up. The joy of just getting the gold coin reward disappeared. "Sir, if we are to be punished together, we cannot let the captain bear it alone. The task is not the captain's alone. Each of us has to bear it." We have the responsibility, not to mention that when we were also injured, it was the captain who forced them away and gave us time to escape. Sir, we are willing to accept any punishment."
Tang Shi's expression turned cold, and his eyes when looking at them became sharp, "In this case, Team Lingfei will be disqualified from the mission for three months."
This time it finally stopped and there was no argument anymore.
Ling Fei looked at these brothers and felt his eyes heat up. They were teammates, friends, and brothers who had experienced life and death. Originally, he wanted to bear the responsibility alone, but he didn't expect that these fools had to be punished together. Now it's better. The entire team has been disqualified from missions for three months.
They rested in the cave for the night, and early the next morning, they set off back to the gathering place.
After returning after being out for a few days, Tang Shi suddenly noticed that there were many faces from outside the area in the gathering place. Because it was getting late, Tang Shi didn't stay much longer and drove home in the car he left at the gate of the city.
After being away from home for a few days, Tang Shi missed Yan Xu a little. He wanted to rush back immediately. Even if he saw the faces of some people from outside the country, he was not in the mood to inquire about the news.
The off-road vehicle rushed into the yard like wind. Tang Shi jumped out of the car and shouted, "I'm back!"
Then he quickly ran into the living room. It was already dark now, and Yanxu must have returned. Tang Shi thought about giving Yanxu a big hug before entering, and then showing off to him the results of this mission. What a great harvest! What a great harvest. ! You must ask for praise!
However, when Tang Shi jumped into the living room running and jumping, he almost sprained his feet. On the sofa in the living room, there was a circle full of people, both familiar and unknown.
Tang Shi was a little embarrassed. He didn't know there was a guest at home, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped in so immaturely.
Yanxu looked at Tang Shi with a smile in his eyes and looked at him walking over seriously. He wanted to take him into his arms and give him a good rub.
Tang Shi sat down on the sofa and then carefully looked at the unknown people. When he saw Jin Jue was there, he asked strangely: "Jin Jue, why are you at my house?"
"Uh..., I came here to have something to do. Did you complete the task smoothly?" Jin Jue didn't know what to say, so he had to talk about work issues.
"It's okay, it's all done. You're here just in time. If you sign up for me tomorrow, I won't go to the trial meeting. I'm going to have a good sleep. You can ask Ling Fei for the details of the mission." Tang Shiquan said He didn't hide his desire to sleep in.
"Okay, I'll report it to you tomorrow." As a senior assistant, Jin Jue will definitely help Tang Times report it.
Tang Shi glanced at Qin Lie who was sitting next to him and was just eating. He and Zhan Rong came back at some point. Seeing Tang Shi looking at him, Qin Lie winked at Tang Shi and made a face. Shi rolled his eyes at him, thinking that he had finally grown up, but he didn't expect that he was still so childish.
Only then did Tang Shi turn his attention to the middle-aged man sitting next to Jin Jue. On the other side of the middle-aged man was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Jin Jue.
When the middle-aged man finally saw Tang Shi, he stood up and reached out his hand, "Hello, I am Jin Zhuoran, Jin Jue's father."
Tang Shi was confused and didn't understand why his senior assistant's father came to his house. He also stood up, shook hands with Jin Zhuoran, and introduced himself, "Tang Shi."
After Jin Zhuoran came in from Tang Shi, his eyes never left him, and now he was staring at him carefully, nodding in his mind. This was the image of the Mei family bloodline in his mind.
Jin Zhuoran introduced the young man next to him to Tang Shi, "This is my eldest son, Jin Yu."
"Hello." Jin Yu stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Hello." Tang Shi shook his hand.
After several people sat down again, Tang Shi looked at his lover beside him with a puzzled look. Yanxu took his hand and squeezed it, signaling him not to worry.
Jin Zhuoran saw Yanxu's actions and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Tang, we want to talk to you alone. Is it convenient?"
After receiving the notice from Jin Jue, Jin Zhuoran immediately rushed over from Yaoyu City and has been waiting in Blue Crystal City until now. If Jin Jue hadn't stopped him, he would have taken people to the mission location to find Tang Shi and come back. .
The reason why Jin Jue was so eager to tell his father the news that the descendants of the Mei family had been found was because he wanted to know what his father and grandfather had hidden about him. However, after his father knew about it, he did not tell him immediately. Instead, he said, After meeting Tang Shi, Jin Jue will understand the truth.
Therefore, Jin Jue had no choice but to continue to wait patiently.
Tang Shi looked at Jin Zhuoran, then at Yan Xu, then at Qin Lie, Zhan Rong and Long Mian. Out of politeness, Tang Shi did not refuse in person, but asked: "Is there anything important? These are my family and friends, there are no outsiders here.”
Jin Zhuoran fell silent and looked at those people whom Tang Shi called family and friends.
Jin Jue understood his father's caution and said, "This matter is very important. We can talk about it alone. If you think you can tell them later, it's up to you."
Tang Shi didn't say anything, but Zhan Rong stood up first and pulled up Qin Lie who was lying on the sofa. "Go and have a rest. We have something to do tomorrow."
"I haven't finished eating my fruit yet." Qin Lie complained dissatisfiedly and was pulled away by Zhan Rong.
Long Mian also stood up, "I'm going back to the room."
Now Yanxu was the only "outsider" left, but Yanxu sat still, obviously having no intention of leaving.
Tang Shi stood up and said, "Let's go to the study to talk."
"Thank you." This was really what they wanted. Jin Zhuoran, Jin Jue and Jin Yu all stood up and prepared to follow Tang Shi to the study.
When Tang Shi got up, he pulled Yanxu up as well. The two of them walked in front, hand in hand, and walked upstairs.
Their actions shocked Jin Zhuoran and his son. Jin Jue stared blankly at their intertwined hands. His heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand, making him a little short of breath. .
Only Jin Yu reacted the fastest and urged his father, "Let's go."
They then followed Tang Shi and Yanxu who were walking in front, to the second floor and to the study.
This study belonged to Yanxu. He usually had endless work to do, and Yanxu would bring it back to deal with it. While accompanying Tang Shi, he dealt with the work, feeling happy and at ease.
Tang Shi invited the three of them to sit on the sofa in the study room, and he and Yanxu sat on one side.
After sitting down, seeing Jin Zhuoran, Jin Jue and Jin Yu all looking at Yanxu, Tang Shi introduced with a smile: "This is my lover, he knows everything about me, there are no secrets between us, You can say whatever you want, it doesn’t matter.”
The three of them were just guessing just now. They didn't expect Tang Shi to admit their relationship so easily. Jin Zhuoran didn't expect that the descendant of the Mei family already had a lover, and he was a man. This incident really caught him off guard. .
It took Jin Zhuoran a long time to digest it before he eased his shock about Tang Shi having a lover. Although this matter needed to be kept strictly confidential, it was best not to let outsiders know about it. But considering the relationship between Tang Shi and Yan Xu, if he insisted on driving Yan Xu out , Tang Shi would probably not listen to what he had to say.
"Before talking about that, I want to make sure first, are you a descendant of the Mei family?" Jin Zhuoran said.
With the arrival of Jin Zhuoran, Jin Jue and Jin Yu, Yanxu knew that they were looking for Tang Shi, and Yanxu also deduced that the person who sent people to follow Tang Shi in the trial was probably Jin Jue. As Tang Shi's senior assistant, Jue was the only one who knew Tang Shi's mission and route best, so it was easiest to send someone to follow him.
Jin Jue visited Tang Shi's residence for the first time, and the person he met was Yan Xu. He asked Yan Xu to tell Tang Shi, and called him immediately after he came back. He had something very important to ask him for, and did something to Yan Xu. introduced himself.
Yanxu had only heard from Tang Shi before that his senior assistant was called Jin Jue, and that all the work of the trial would be handled by his assistant, so he didn't have many things to worry about.
Unexpectedly, when I really saw this assistant, I realized how outstanding he was. Whether it was his figure, appearance, or knowledge and accomplishments, he was all top-notch. Such a man was simply perfect, even though he was also a man's favorite. Yanxu had to look up to him and wait until Yanxu didn't go around in circles with Jin Jue and asked him directly if he had sent someone to follow Tang Shi.
Jin Jue didn't know until he found Tang Shi's residence that this was the residence of the great leader, and the man in front of him was the head of the Awakening Army headquarters in Blue Crystal City. He could find out that he sent people to follow Tang Shi, and there was nothing wrong with him. strangeness.
