213: Chapter 211: Going to the Banquet 213: Chapter 211: Going to the Banquet “Then you guys go back first, I’m heading back to the office, and I’ll come find you tonight.
Lengzi, when you’re with Brother Hu, you must listen to him and try not to cause him any trouble,” Tangyu said.
Lengzi grinned and replied, “How could I, boss?
Brother Hu is nice, I’ll listen to him.”
“Hmm,” Tangyu’s gaze shifted and suddenly flashed a hint of cold light.
His eyes settled on a group about a hundred meters ahead, dressed in strange attire, led by the two men that Lengzi had thrown out earlier.
These were people from the far north of Hua Country.
They were very united when outside their home, which is why people generally didn’t dare to mess with them.
If one is provoked, a whole group will respond.
Now, about twenty people approached menacingly.
The sight frightened many pedestrians, scattering them in panic.
And in their hands, they even carried gleaming machetes.
Although Hua Country’s law bans the carrying of controlled knives, these people were an exception; they could carry and even sell them in the streets.
Seeing this group, Xu Hu’s expression turned slightly colder.
He knew they were targeting Lengzi, and Xu Hu’s men immediately opened the car doors, ready to grab their weapons.
Xu Hu didn’t dare be careless, given the number of people and their possession of controlled knives.
Most importantly, these people were fiercely competent in fights, each capable of taking on several opponents.
Upon being spotted, the group swiftly drew their knives and charged over.
Their audacious disregard for the law under broad daylight scared many people.
Stores quickly shut their doors, and many started calling the police.
Seeing them, Lengzi appeared somewhat excited.
He smirked, “Damn it, I hadn’t had enough fun just now, and they dare to come to us?
They’re asking for it.
Boss, may I?” Lengzi rubbed his hands eagerly but still looked at Tangyu for approval.
“Go easy on them, don’t cause too much trouble,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe, sure boss, I’ll just have a little fun with them,” Lengzi nodded, grinned, and charged towards the menacing group.
Xu Hu was about to help, but after hearing Tangyu’s words, he relaxed and signaled his men not to intervene, instead, they watched with interest.
If he had been in Lengzi’s place against this fierce group, he would only have had a chance to flee.
However, he believed in Lengzi’s ability.
Lengzi, like a war god entering the enemy’s territory, charged directly, quickly reaching the group.
He effortlessly grabbed two men and threw them up in the air as if tossing sandbags, throwing them three to four meters high.
This frightened those in the air, who screamed in terror.
The others, fierce and ferocious, swung their knives at Lengzi, but he moved as if unencumbered, easily grabbing two people at a time and tossing them into the air without a second glance.
In just two or three breaths of time, six people were thrown into the air, falling to the ground painfully, unable to get up from the impact while groaning in pain.
“Truly extraordinary,” Xu Hu watched with great admiration.
Having such a formidable ally made him fearless against any power.
Xu Hu’s subordinates also looked at Lengzi with eyes full of admiration.
“Ah, ah, ah—”
Screams continued to echo, and soon over twenty people lay painfully on the ground.
The entire process took less than a minute.
Lengzi dusted off his hands and, still somewhat dissatisfied, walked back saying, “Boss, these guys are too weak, not much fun.
But it was a good workout after dinner.”
“Let’s go before the police arrive and things get complicated,” Tangyu said, but just as he finished speaking, the sharp sound of a police siren arose.
Soon, a police car approached, and seeing the person inside, Tangyu smiled.
Hearing the siren, the group scrambled to their feet and ran away.
Song Qingyu stepped out of the car and glanced at the fleeing group.
She did not chase after them, but her brows furrowed deeply, her face clearly showing disgust.
She looked at Tangyu and asked, “This incident, it involves you, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it does,” Tangyu nodded.
Frowning slightly, Song Qingyu said, “It’s better to avoid trouble with those people; otherwise, you’ll suffer.
Hmm—” her brow suddenly furrowed as she turned her gaze towards Lengzi, who was staring at her, grinning sheepishly and nearly drooling.
Being stared at like this naturally made Song Qingyu uncomfortable.
If not for Lengzi’s simple and infectious smile, she might have gotten angry.
Tangyu kicked Lengzi, embarrassed by his unabashed ogling at such a beautiful lady.
“Boss, she’s a beauty!
As stunning as the Immortal Sister,” Lengzi managed to look away but still chuckled awkwardly.
His words and expression gave a comical flavor to the moment.
Initially frowning, Song Qingyu’s brows relaxed, and she smiled lightly.
Seeing his attire, she knew he came from a remote rural area and felt reassured.
There was an infectious sincerity in his simplicity.
“Captain Song, please excuse him.
My brother Lengzi just left home for the first time,” Tangyu explained.
With a light smile, Song Qingyu replied, “No worries, he seems like a sincere young man.
But this isn’t home, so be cautious.”
“Yes, I understand,” Tangyu nodded.
“Hehe, boss, is this police sister super beautiful?
Is she the sister-in-law?” Lengzi laughed and asked.
Song Qingyu glared slightly, taken aback by his straightforwardness.
Tangyu also gave him a stern look.
But Lengzi, oblivious, continued, “Don’t be shy, boss.
Didn’t you always teach me to loudly proclaim what I like?
I know you like this beautiful sister.
Go chase her; I’m waiting to respect my sister-in-law.”
“Uh…”
A blush crept onto Song Qingyu’s face, and she glared at Tangyu.
“Lengzi, stop blabbering and follow Brother Hu quickly,” Tangyu said.
Lengzi grinned and cheerfully said, “Boss, I support you, good luck, I’ll wait for your good news.” Then he got into the car with Xu Hu and left with the three men.
After Lengzi and his group left, Song Qingyu glared at Tangyu and said in annoyance, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Ah, I’m wronged, Captain Song!
Lengzi just has a big mouth; don’t take it to heart,” Tangyu replied with an innocent face.
“You men, there’s not one good among you; all of you are lechers,” Song Qingyu said.
“Alright, I admit I’m a lecher, but I’m a lecher with professional morals and integrity, simply put, this is just my heroic nature,” Tangyu said.
“Narcissist,” Song Qingyu retorted.
This light-hearted moment made Tangyu smile and say, “Qingyu, I still need to hurry back to the office.”
As Qingyu was called out, Song Qingyu was slightly startled, feeling an inexplicable sensation in her heart.
She glanced at Tangyu and said, “About that matter you asked me to look into, I’ve got a little lead, but I’m still not sure yet.
I’m going to confirm it now, and if there’s definite news, I’ll notify you.”
“Okay,” Tangyu nodded.
“Well, you go get busy then, call me if anything comes up,” Song Qingyu said.
“Alright, I’ll head off first then; take care, see you,” Tangyu said.
Watching Tangyu’s departing figure, Song Qingyu couldn’t help spacing out for a while before she shook her head, sighed quietly, and then jumped into her car.
When he got back to the office, it was just time to leave work.
“Tangyu, you came back just in time, not a minute more, not a minute less,” Wang Dazhuang said with a smile.
Tangyu looked around the office; many people had left, and the three golden flowers were also gone, probably off discussing a case with Wanjin Industrial.
Wang Dazhuang had also packed up, ready to leave.
“Did you get in touch with someone from Changyou this afternoon?” Tangyu asked.
“I did, and even went out for a brief talk.
We’ve arranged a detailed discussion for tomorrow.
If things go fast, we might close the discussion in the next two or three days,” Wang Dazhuang replied.
“Good, keep it up then, you can go ahead and leave now,” Tangyu said.
Wang Dazhuang winked at Tangyu and chuckled, “Is it because you’re waiting to leave work with the beautiful Shanshan?
Tangyu, you’re quite swift; you’ve got her sorted out so quickly.
I’m really jealous, the company’s second beauty is swept off by you.”
Tangyu rolled his eyes at Wang Dazhuang, “Mind your own business and don’t spread rumors about me.”
“Haha, no worries, I’ll keep it in my chest.
Tangyu, I’ll head off first,” Wang Dazhuang said.
Tangyu also walked towards Sister Min’s office to see if she had come back.
Just as he stepped out of the office door, a figure appeared in front of him and the two nearly bumped into each other.
“Shanshan,” Tangyu called out, knowing it was Shanshan, he should have just bumped into her.
Shanshan said, “Tangyu, where were you this entire afternoon?
Xin sister couldn’t find you this afternoon and got a bit angry.
You should come with me to find her.”
“Okay,” Tangyu nodded.
Why was Xin sister always looking for him?
As they passed by Sister Min’s office, Tangyu noticed the door was closed and raised his eyebrows, “Shanshan, didn’t Sister Min come back this afternoon?”
Shanshan glanced at Sister Min’s office and said, “I guess not; her office door was closed all afternoon.”
“Oh,” Tangyu nodded.
Since Older Niu hadn’t called him, there must be nothing urgent with Sister Min.
It seemed she couldn’t resist that Soh Quan and might be eating out with him tonight.
With Older Niu’s men secretly watching, Tangyu was not too worried.
“Shanshan, what did Xin sister want with me this afternoon?” Tangyu asked.
Shanshan replied, “I’m not sure; it probably wasn’t anything big.
But Xin sister did go out for a while this afternoon; maybe she wanted you to drive and accompany her.
Another thing, Xin sister plans to have us represent the company at a banquet tonight.”
“Banquet?” Tangyu asked, puzzled.
Shanshan nodded, “Yes, a banquet, probably a celebration by a company.
They invited our company.
Although we’re not very close to them and Xin sister is also busy tonight, she thought of having us represent the company.”
“Oh, that means we get to eat and drink for free tonight,” Tangyu said.
Soon, they arrived in front of Zhao Xinxin’s office door, which was open.
