367: Chapter 367: So Fast 367: Chapter 367: So Fast The six men were indeed intimidated by Tangyu’s aura, and since they had guilty consciences and were worried that if this person in front of them really was a police officer, they would be in trouble.
“You, you’re talking nonsense, this is a family heirloom, how could it be fake?” The middle-aged man still tried to argue, but he clearly lacked confidence.
For some reason, when he saw Tangyu’s somewhat sharp gaze, he felt as if all his thoughts were being completely seen through, and this feeling of guilt was involuntary.
“Talking nonsense, are you really sure I’m talking nonsense?” Tangyu pressed on, staring at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was tongue-tied, his face turning ashen, unable to speak.
The others also flickered with strange expressions in their eyes, as if pondering what to do.
At this moment, Liu Shanshan’s brows finally relaxed.
As long as Tangyu was there, there was nothing to worry about, because he could smooth everything out for her; no difficulty was too great for him.
“Brother, there might be some misunderstanding here; we’ll be leaving now,” said the fake policeman, signaling with his eyes to the others who hurriedly started packing up their things, ready to leave.
They had also realized that they had provoked someone they shouldn’t, and if the other party really was a policeman, staying any longer might land them in jail.
These days, the crime of fraud and extortion was not a light one.
Their method had always been to strike once and change locations, preying on certain groups of people with their coordination, and they had always been successful—today was the first time they encountered this kind of situation.
“Hmm, think you can just leave, just like that?” Tangyu snorted.
Did they really think they could bully the woman by his side and then just walk away without repercussions?
If he truly let them go, would he still be a man?
The woman by his side was being bullied, and he was supposed to let the offenders swagger off with just a few words?
Those who did wrong deserved to be punished.
Tangyu was not a person of great compassion, nor did he exhibit so-called magnanimity.
He had always believed in exacting vengeance.
His master had always taught him, you could swallow anything except losses.
As a man, you should provide the best protection to the women by your side, never letting them suffer a shred of bullying or harm.
The untouchable bottom line—this is what the reverse scale is.
“What, what do you want to do?” The fake policeman glared at Tangyu furiously, his face fierce, as if he could commit murder at any moment.
“I want you to receive the punishment you deserve,” Tangyu said indifferently.
“Hmph, ridiculous, don’t be too full of yourself,” the fake policeman scoffed.
“Tangyu, bro.” A resonant voice came through, and Yangzi arrived with more than a dozen men, marching toward them.
Tangyu glanced at Yangzi and nodded, “Beat these men up for me, then throw them into the police station, five con artists and one fake policeman.
Let the police take good care of them.” As soon as they had gotten out of the car, Tangyu had sent a message to Yangzi to bring people over.
Taking care of these men himself was something Tangyu was too lazy to do; the best method was to send them to the police station.
“Alright, Tangyu, bro.
You guys go ahead; I know what to do,” Yangzi said with a grin, readily accepting the command.
The six men, seeing this show of force, all turned pale, now realizing they had met their match.
The five wanted to beg for mercy, but Tangyu was already calling over Liu Shanshan and Mo Xiaoqing to get into the car.
“I won’t disturb you anymore, I’m going back to school,” Mo Xiaoqing said to Tangyu after glancing at Liu Shanshan.
A woman’s intuition is the sharpest—an expression, a glance, a small gesture, they might interpret many things.
It is true what they say: women understand women best.
Naturally, Mo Xiaoqing could see that Liu Shanshan also liked Tangyu, and that Tangyu’s feelings for her were more than favorable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stepped forward so resolutely.
Mo Xiaoqing had noticed Tangyu’s angry gaze.
A man willing to be so enraged for a woman proved how much he cared for her.
Liu Shanshan, seeing Tangyu and Mo Xiaoqing together, also felt a pang of loss.
She had intended to say goodbye but did not expect Mo Xiaoqing to speak up first.
Moreover, she saw a hint of loss in Mo Xiaoqing’s eyes, and Liu Shanshan could also tell that Tangyu and Mo Xiaoqing’s relationship was not that intimate.
Momentarily bewildered, Liu Shanshan realized Tangyu had quite a few close female companions.
“No need, I don’t have anything else planned, you guys keep having fun,” Liu Shanshan also declined.
Mo Xiaoqing was slightly startled.
This woman was interesting; she wanted to set Tangyu up with her, yet she’d managed to push the offer right back.
“I need to head back; I’ve got some things to do.
Plus, I have a train ticket for tonight, so I need to go pack,” Mo Xiaoqing said.
“Oh, I see,” Liu Shanshan then stopped declining.
Originally, Tangyu had wanted to drive Mo Xiaoqing back to school, but she insisted on refusing.
Helplessly, all he could do was watch as Mo Xiaoqing left.
“Get in the car,” Tangyu said to Liu Shance.
Once in the car, Tangyu drove aimlessly.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Shanshan seemed a bit distracted, lost in thought.
“What are you thinking about?
Why are you here alone?” Tangyu asked.
Snapping back to reality, Liu Shanshan immediately shook her head and said, “Nothing much.
I didn’t have anything to do this afternoon, and Sister Xin was busy, so I just went for a random walk.”
A random walk that ended up being over ten miles long, leading her here?
Seeing Tangyu’s gaze, Liu Shanshan felt as if he could see right through her and quickly changed the subject, “Speaking of which, I visited the kids this morning.
They were really happy.
The Orphanage has been completely transformed, the kids are wearing new clothes, and they are all going to school now.
Everyone is so delighted.
They kept asking me why you hadn’t come to see them, I got an earful from their questions.”
“Heh, next time I’m back and if I have time, I’ll definitely visit,” Tangyu said with a smile.
“By the way, Tangyu, I heard from the director that Sister Xin donated 1.2 million to the Orphanage.
I asked her about it, but she said the money wasn’t from her; she was just making the donation on someone else’s behalf.
Do you know about this?” Liu Shanshan suddenly asked, looking at Tangyu.
Tangyu replied with a light smile, “I don’t know, but that’s a good thing.” He had only given Sister Xin one million, so he really didn’t know she had donated 1.2 million.
Liu Shanshan had her suspicions that the one million was donated by Tangyu; apart from him, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would donate to the Orphanage.
Although Tangyu didn’t admit it, he didn’t deny it either, which only made her more curious.
“I don’t know which kind soul donated the money, but I’m really grateful, and so are the kids.
He’s a good person; what do you think, Tangyu?” Liu Shanshan said, feigning nonchalance.
“Yeah, he is a really good person, thanks to him,” Tangyu nodded.
“By the way, where do you want to go?
We can’t just keep wandering aimlessly,” Tangyu asked.
Liu Shanshan looked outside the car, pondered for a moment, and said, “Do you have time right now?”
“Right now, I guess I do,” Tangyu said.
“Good, then I’ll make use of you for a bit.
There’s a park over there; let’s go for a walk.
The dusk in autumn is beautiful; it’s been a long time since I’ve taken a proper walk at dusk,” Liu Shanshan said.
“Yeah, sure,” Tangyu nodded and parked the car to the side before the two of them walked toward the park.
The setting sun cast a reddish hue across the sky, painting the maple leaves red and intensifying the sense of autumn.
The dusk of autumn is the most beautiful season.
The two of them strolled slowly along the park’s pathway against the backdrop of the setting sun, not saying a word to each other, yet it felt very warm and romantic.
“Tangyu, do you have any plans for the National Day holiday?” Liu Shanshan suddenly asked.
“Go for an outing,” Tangyu said.
“Oh,” Liu Shanshan’s eyes briefly flashed with a shade of sadness.
She knew that Tangyu was going on the outing with another woman, surrounded by so many others.
She herself seemed insignificant in comparison.
“What about you?” Tangyu asked.
Liu Shanshan shook her head and said, “Others can go home, but I have no home to go to.
Others can go out with friends, but I don’t have many friends.
I don’t know where to go for the National Day holiday.
Maybe, I’ll just stay at home and watch TV.”
Tangyu pursed his lips, feeling inclined to invite Liu Shanshan along, but he feared Lin Feifei and the others might not be happy about it.
After thinking it over, Tangyu still said, “Why not come with us?”
Liu Shanshan looked startled for a moment, a gleam of joy flickering in her eyes, but after thinking it over, she still shook her head and said, “No need, I won’t disrupt your plans.
It’s better if I just stay at home.”
“Actually, it’s no problem; I’m sure they wouldn’t mind,” Tangyu said.
“I mind,” Liu Shanshan said.
“…”
“Okay then, I won’t force you,” Tangyu said.
Indeed, bringing her along to witness him being affectionate with Lin Feifei would be cruel to her.
Better for her to stay at home.
“By the way, where are you planning to go for fun?” Liu Shanshan asked.
“I’m not very clear on the specifics, but it seems like the first stop is Miyun Town.
The scenery there is quite nice, suitable for a picnic.
We plan to play there for two days first.
As for the rest of the arrangements, I can’t remember,” Tangyu said.
“Oh, Miyun Town, I’ve heard of it.
I’ve heard the scenery is indeed nice, very suitable for an autumn picnic.
Haha, I’m really envious of you guys, being able to go out and have a good time.
I hope you all enjoy yourselves,” Liu Shanshan said.
“Yeah,” Tangyu nodded.
The two continued to walk aimlessly when Liu Shanshan suddenly stopped, her eyes wide as she looked ahead.
Tangyu also looked, his brows slightly raised.
When he saw Wang Dazhuang and Wen Jing walking towards them, holding hands, Tangyu also smiled.
When had these two gotten together?
“How did they…
They move so fast, there was no sign at all,” Liu Shanshan also seemed surprised.
“Yeah, a secret romance,” Tangyu said, then shouted over, “Dazhuang, Wen Jing, hello there.”
Wang Dazhuang and Wen Jing, basking in the joy of their love, got startled by Tangyu’s shout as if they’d been caught doing something wrong.
They quickly let go of each other’s hands and looked over.
When they saw Tangyu and Liu Shanshan, Wen Jing’s face instantly turned red, and she shyly lowered her head.
She was a very quiet and timid girl.
“Uh, Tangyu, Liu Shan, what a coincidence, you guys are also taking a walk here,” Wang Dazhuang also said somewhat awkwardly.
Tangyu walked up and punched Wang Dazhuang in the chest, “You guys sure move fast, getting together quietly.
We’ve been kept in the dark, wait till we get back and let everyone glare at you in disdain.”
“No, no, Tangyu, I admit my mistake.
We just got together today, we hadn’t had time to tell everyone,” Wang Dazhuang quickly pleaded.
“Alright, just kidding.
Wen Jing is a nice girl; I’ve been telling you to pursue her.
But you, you really move without making a sound.
Anyway, continue having fun, we won’t disturb you,” Tangyu said with a smile.
“Hehe, we should be the ones not disturbing you,” Wang Dazhuang laughed.
They parted ways without much small talk, each walking their own path, each engrossed in their own love affair.
Watching Wang Dazhuang and his companion’s departing figures, Liu Shanshan also got lost in thought.
Others move so quickly, but she herself was unable to make a move.
