As the saying goes: Friendship is like a clear spring, nourishing the heart on the road to growth.
Although the friendship between Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling is not particularly deep, with the mentality of "people are kind to me, I am very kind to others", Yuan Chuling used his performance to occupy a little bit of Tang Xiu's heart. Location. Therefore, Tang Xiu chatted with him for more than two hours before leaving Shanghai First People's Hospital.
Back at Xinglan Villa, Tang Xiu didn't even take a sip of tea when he received a call from someone he had almost forgotten, and it was an international long distance call.
"Which one?"
Standing at the bedroom window, Tang Xiu asked calmly.
A voice like a silver bell came from the phone: "Boss, I am Hinoko Yamamoto."
Tang Xiu was stunned, and suddenly thought of the eldest lady of Japan's Yamamoto family, the future young master of Beichen Itto-ryu, the ninja master who had been cursed by him.
"Call me, is there anything wrong?"
Yamamoto Kakiko said respectfully: "Boss, there is an important matter. I have just received an order from the family patriarch, my father, to lead a team to China to steal the product information of a company called Shengtang Group in Star City. I know you I’m in Star City, so I’m telling you.”
Tang Xiu's expression changed, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I am the boss of Shengtang Group. The three products of Shenxian Brewing, Skin Rejuvenating Cream, and Scar Removal Cream were developed by me myself. What do you think, Will I let you Yamamoto family get it?”
Yamamoto Hakiko said hurriedly: "Boss, I'm really sorry. My subordinates don't know that you are the boss of Shengtang Group, nor do they know that you developed those three products. But my father's order..."
Tang Xiu's mind raced, and after pondering for a while, he slowly said: "You can bring someone here, and after settling down in Star City, wait for news from me. I am in Shanghai now, and will return to Star City in two days. Let’s discuss it in the long term. Also, after you return to China, how is your development there?”
Yamamoto Hakiko agreed and said: "Boss, the God Control Spell you taught me is really magical. I have secretly controlled one-third of the high-ranking members of the family. Although they keep a distance from me on the surface, they secretly But they completely obeyed my orders. In addition, there are several elders of the Beichen Yidao style who were controlled by me with the God-Controlling Curse, and a group of elite ninjas also obeyed my orders. In three years, at most three years, I will be able to completely Control all rights of the Yamamoto family and Beichen Ittoryu."
Tang Xiu said with satisfaction: "I know. Later, I will give you a list of cultivation resources. There are some Chinese medicinal materials and ores on it. You can use your power in Japan to find it. If you bring a lot, I will reward you with some elixirs to assist your cultivation to speed up your cultivation."
"Elixir? What is that?"
Yamamoto Kuko asked.
Tang Xiu said calmly: "You don't need to know, you just need to find the Chinese medicinal materials and ores recorded on the list I gave you. If I am satisfied, the elixir given to you can speed up your cultivation, even if it is accelerated several times. , are all possible.”
Several times
Yamamoto Kakiko became excited and said hurriedly: "Boss, I will try my best to postpone my trip to China, and I will do my best to find the Chinese herbs and ores you need."
"good!"
Tang Xiu hung up the phone.
If he wants to return to the fairy world and return to his peak state, Tang Xiu needs too many cultivation resources. Only those cultivation resources can quickly improve his strength and complete his ultimate revenge goal.
Japan is a very special country. Although Tang Xiu does not know the situation in Japan, he believes that Japan should have Chinese medicinal materials and ores that he can use. It can be said that Yamamoto Kakiko is the eagle dog he trained, and will become his minions in the future to do things that are good for him.
Beijing.
The ancestral home of the Tang family.
Liu Changxi was alone, holding some fruits and standing outside the courtyard waiting quietly. The soldier standing upright next to the door stared at him coldly with a steel gun in his hand.
"Minister Liu, Mr. Tang is in the backyard garden. Someone will take you to see him after you go in." Another soldier holding a steel gun walked out of the courtyard gate and said in a deep voice.
Liu Changxi nodded. After stepping into the courtyard gate and passing through the first courtyard gate, a pond appeared in front of him. On the left side of the pond, inside the small circular gate, all he could see were colorful flowers. There are more than a dozen birdcages hanging on the green branches, and the beautiful songs of the birds can be heard.
In the center of the garden.
In that antique pavilion, brothers Tang Guoshou and Tang Guosheng were playing chess. The black and white Go pieces were almost covering the entire chessboard. Beside them, green smoke curled up from the bronze incense burner, and the faint scent of smoke filled the air, covering this small world.
After Liu Changxi arrived, he stood quietly outside the pavilion and did not disturb the two people playing chess. He just handed the fruit in his hand to the housekeeper who came over.
"General!"
Tang Guoshou's wrinkled face showed a bright smile, and all those wrinkles were stretched.
Tang Guosheng shook his head, but his expression was exceptionally calm. His eyes moved from the chessboard to Liu Changxi's expression, and he waved.
"Mr. Tang!"
Liu Changxi called to the two of them respectfully.
Tang Guosheng smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, why did you think of coming over to see me, an old man, today?"
Liu Changxi smiled and said: "Actually, I should have come here a long time ago. I'm just busy with official duties and have been running around outside all the time. No, I just came over from Shanghai when I took some time. How are you doing?"
Shanghai
Tang Guosheng already knew about the Shanghai bombing and those extremists, and his eyes narrowed instantly. Even before Liu Changxi said anything, he vaguely guessed that Liu Changxi's arrival might have something to do with his precious grandson.
"You kid, you are as smart as the stars in the sky. Tell me! What is your purpose for coming here?"
Liu Changxi was shocked by the revelation. After smiling awkwardly, he said seriously: "Mr. Tang, I came here mainly for Tang Xiu. You are always his biological grandfather, and I believe he will listen to you."
really!
Tang Guosheng sighed in his heart, and the smile on his face faded, and said: "Continue talking."
Liu Changxi said: "Mr. Tang, I believe you have received the news about the Shanghai bombing. Thanks to Tang Xiu, we were able to avoid a large number of deaths caused by extremists this time. It can be said that if it were not for Tang Xiu, Zhang Xinya's singing at Shanghai New World Center Yes, there will be tens of thousands of casualties. And at the airport, the losses have been minimized. I have already asked my superiors to take credit for Tang Xiu, and a reward will be awarded to him in a few days."
"I came to see you this time because I want them to join our security department. With his joining, it will definitely be more powerful for us and will play a greater and better role in the peace and stability of our country."
"I have personally invited him, and he has refused several invitations on the grounds of his studies. So can you persuade him to join our security department. Don't worry, although in terms of official position, I have no right to give him too much He has great rights, but I can guarantee that I will give him the best treatment. What I can even guarantee is that as long as he does a good job, I can give up my position to him in the future."
Tang Guosheng squinted his eyes. After listening to Liu Changxi's words, a smile appeared on his face again, and the smile was stronger than before. However, when he thought of his grandson's character, he couldn't describe it in other words except a wry smile.
"Xiao Liu, although Xiu'er is my biological grandson, he has been living outside these years, and I just found him a few months ago. Adults have their own thoughts. Although I am his biological grandfather, I am not suitable to interfere. His decision. I already know about this matter and will talk to him about it. As for the outcome, I can’t guarantee you.”
Liu Changxi was stunned and said in surprise: "Mr. Tang, you can't make a decision for him? This..."
Tang Guosheng smiled and said: "If he is just an ordinary child, I can naturally help him make decisions. But he can let you ask me for help. Do you think he is an ordinary child?"
Liu Changxi smiled bitterly and said, "That's what you always said."
Tang Guosheng asked: "Stay for dinner tonight?"
Liu Changxi said quickly: "No, I have to rush back to the unit later. There are some mysteries that have not been solved yet, and Tang Xiu is unwilling to tell the truth, so I can only investigate it myself."
Tang Guosheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What mystery?"
Liu Changxi hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "This is actually another purpose of my coming here. A mysterious force appeared in the extremist riots in Shanghai. According to our monitoring, some members suspected of being extremists were attacked by some The mysterious person was taken away. In addition, we checked all the traffic surveillance within a five-kilometer radius of Shanghai New World Center, as well as the surveillance of nearby commercial buildings, residences, and shops. There were dozens of suspicious people. What gave us a headache was , these mysterious people have extremely strong anti-investigation capabilities, and among the hundreds of surveillance videos, none of the surveillance videos captured the suspicious appearance of those people."
"What?"
The two brothers Tang Guosheng and Tang Guoshou looked horrified. They once had great power and naturally knew some investigative methods. They really couldn't believe it. Hundreds of surveillance areas and dozens of mysterious people could not capture the appearance of any one person. These people... are too powerful, right
Tang Guosheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You mean, Xiu'er knows the identities of these people?"
Liu Changxi nodded and said: "I suspect that Tang Xiu knows their details, and may even know them. Because of the appearance of those extremists in Shanghai, no one else knows about it except our security department and the police."
Countless thoughts were swirling in Tang Guosheng's heart. He remembered Tang Xiu's game with the Yao family in the south, and thought of the mysterious and powerful men Tang Xiu had recruited, and suddenly he felt a little enlightened. However, facing Liu Changxi, who has a special status, he naturally would not express his inner thoughts.
