"Brother, I never expected you to have not only a fiancée, but that she would be Wang Yuyan from the Nanling Wang family. This is truly surprising!"
Shen Lang did not refuse Shi Qingxuan's request to stay, but he did not invite her to sit with them.
After asking a waiter to order a pot of Pu'er tea and some pastries for Shi Qingxuan, he had her sit by the window.
"Sister, there's no surprise, only a scare."
Shen Lang sighed deeply and said, "Three years ago, Wang Yunchuan came to Qiulong Mountain and found my master. He said he had a granddaughter named Wang Yuyan, who was pure and lovely, beautiful and radiant, 99.9% similar to Li Ruobing, and perfectly suited for me. He also said she would be eighteen in three years."
"So, not only did my master agree, but I was also fooled into agreeing."
Shen Lang recounted the whole story: "There is only one month left until my wedding with Wang Yuyan. Last week, out of curiosity, I sent my junior brother down the mountain to sneak into the Wang family and see what this so-called fiancée looked like."
"It's better that I didn't look, but once I did, I found out she was less than 1.2 meters tall, weighed a full 190 kilograms, had a face full of pockmarks and stubble, and was a complete monster."
"In anger, I went down the mountain with the marriage contract to break off the engagement. As a result, that old scoundrel Wang Yunchuan, with his lies and prevarication, has not succeeded in breaking off the engagement to this day."
Speaking of this, Shen Lang was extremely vexed and drained the tea in his cup in one gulp.
After Shen Lang heavily put down his teacup, Gu Qinghan picked up the teapot and slowly refilled Shen Lang's cup, a smile on her face. "I didn't expect my brother to encounter such a thing. It seems the world is full of wonders."
"However, I have heard that Wang Yunchuan has a granddaughter named Wang Yuyan, who is as beautiful as a celestial being and can topple kingdoms, though I have never met her."
Shen Lang chimed in, "Wang Yuyan is just a scam. As Sister just heard, the real Wang Yuyan is an ugly monster. Wang Yunchuan has always wanted to pass off a pearl as a fish eye, using the beautiful Shi Qingxuan to deceive us."
Speaking of this, Shen Lang heavily punched the table and said, "Wang Yunchuan, that old bastard, has tricked me repeatedly. I will deal with him sooner or later."
"Brother, calm down, calm down. Anger harms the liver and is bad for your health."
Gu Qinghan's face lit up with an intelligent and bright smile. "You say, could it be that Wang Yuyan isn't an ugly monster, and your junior brother made a mistake?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Shen Lang spoke with great confidence. "Sister, you don't know, my junior brother is extremely intelligent. His nickname is 'Sleeping Dragon,' and he would never make a mistake."
Hearing Shen Lang say this, Gu Qinghan smiled slightly and said no more.
This foolish brother was good at everything, except he was too inexperienced and didn't see things clearly enough.
However, she did not intend to lecture Shen Lang; she only wanted him to understand and grow slowly.
With this thought, Gu Qinghan picked up her teacup and took a gentle sip of the tea.
Just then, a group of people burst into the teahouse.
Leading the group was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in white. Behind him were four old men in black. Three of them wore black Tang swords at their waists, while the oldest among them wielded a Hegemon-King spear.
"Young Master Tang Si of the Tang Sect has arrived! Clear the area. Those who wish to die may stay."
As the young man leading them found a table and sat down, one of the black-clothed old men loudly announced.
"What?"
"Young Master Tang Si of the Tang Sect?"
Upon hearing the black-clothed elder announce their identity, the teahouse patrons turned pale with fright. They immediately stopped eating and drinking, quickly paid their bills, and within two minutes, everyone had left.
Only Shen Lang, Gu Qinghan, and Shi Qingxuan remained.
"Sister, who is this Young Master Tang Si of the Tang Sect? Why does his name strike such fear into people?"
Shen Lang took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake with his chopsticks, and slowly took a bite, speaking calmly.
Gu Qinghan replied indifferently, "The Tang Sect they speak of is the Tang Sect of Shu, the family skilled in using hidden weapons and poisons. Their hidden weapons and poisons are insidious and can cause anyone to die unexpectedly."
"And this so-called Young Master Tang Si is named Tang Zixuan. He is the fourth son of the Tang family patriarch, Tang Jiutian. Spoiled by Tang Jiutian since childhood, he developed an arrogant, domineering, and ruthless nature. He often commits evil deeds in Nanling, bullying men and oppressing women, a complete scumbag."
"Just last month, Tang Zixuan forcibly assaulted a female university student and left her in a vegetative state..."
What?
Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Shen Lang was slightly surprised and said, "Since Sister knows he is a scumbag, why don't you deal with him according to your character?"
Shen Lang had not known Gu Qinghan for long, but he knew she was a person who hated evil as she hated a bitter enemy.
She could not tolerate the Lin family, who were committing grave sins, and naturally, she would not tolerate a scumbag like Tang Zixuan.
"I also want to deal with him, but every time this scoundrel commits a crime, he has his subordinates clean up the scene meticulously, leaving no evidence. That's why after arresting him for forty-eight hours, I have to let him go."
For Gu Qinghan, who hated evil, tolerating a wicked scoundrel getting away with it was her greatest pain.
"I see..."
Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Shen Lang said with a smile.
After Shen Lang finished speaking, the black-clothed elder who had spoken earlier strode over and angrily addressed the two. "Everyone else has left. Why haven't you? Are you disrespecting Young Master Tang?"
Hearing this, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Everyone else is dead. Why are you, you idiot, still alive? Are you disrespecting me?"
"Kid, you dare to insult me?"
The black-clothed elder's face instantly turned livid upon hearing Shen Lang's words.
"No need to be angry."
As soon as the black-clothed elder finished speaking, Tang Zixuan, dressed in white and holding a white folding fan, looking elegant and refined, walked over and stopped the black-clothed elder from erupting.
He then looked at Gu Qinghan and said in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't this Director Gu? Long time no see."
"Tsk tsk, you've arrested me eight times, and each time I was proven innocent. Shouldn't you offer something in return?"
"When Zhang Shihao was arrested by the Hong Kong Military Security Department, he was later proven innocent, and the Hong Kong Military Security Department compensated him eight million."
"I, Tang Zixuan, am magnanimous and not short of money. I don't need Director Gu to compensate me eight million, but an apology should be acceptable, right?"
"An apology?"
Gu Qinghan heard this and said coldly, "Tang Zixuan, don't get carried away by your temporary success. As long as you continue to do evil, I will definitely find evidence to bring you to justice."
"Oh..."
Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Tang Zixuan spread his hands, his expression provocative. "Do you have the ability?"
"She certainly does."
Just then, Shen Lang spoke.
Shen Lang glanced at the black-clothed elder holding the Hegemon-King spear, then sneered at Tang Zixuan. "Putting aside everything else, the crime of harboring a wanted fugitive on the Heavenly Ranking alone is enough to sentence you to be shot."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both Gu Qinghan and Tang Zixuan were greatly alarmed.
