Listening to Tang Qing giving all kinds of orders with such confidence, Li Kai was impressed. When faced with someone insurmountable, all he could do was to gradually get closer. But no matter what, following Tang Qing was the right decision, there was always something in it for him. Tang Qing was even planning to bring him along, so he didn’t avoid taking this call.
Of course, he didn’t intend to groom Li Kai as his subordinate. He had never had such a thought. He hoped that Li Kai would be able to stand on his own two feet and have his own career.
Because he didn’t want to lose this friendship.
Watching Tang Qing talking on the phone while walking on the school road, none of the teachers who saw him said anything. After all, Tang Qing had been commended at the grand award ceremony – as long as this genius who consistently scored full grades didn’t burn down the school, no one would interfere in what he did.
Same went for the classroom. The chemistry teacher was in the middle of a lecture when Tang Qing and Li Kai entered. The moment they did, the teacher cheerfully let Tang Qing quickly find a seat.
...
That night.
Tang Qing returned to his uncle’s house.
He brought quite a lot of snacks with him, which were promised to Qin Shiqi earlier that morning. The reason was that she had washed his clothes for him the day before, even insisting on doing so, all for the sake of the snacks. Of course, Tang Qing was not stingy about this. He bought a big bag of this and that, picking up whatever struck his fancy. It only cost him a few hundred yuan in total, a freaking bargain.
As soon as Tang Qing entered the door, Qin Shiqi rushed out of her room, hopping towards him with great excitement.
"Bro, you’re finally back, I’ve been waiting so long." Qin Shiqi snatched the big bag of snacks, her eyes shining brightly.
"Didn’t you have to queue?"
Tang Qing would never admit that he had been feasting on barbecue outside.
Qin Shiqi sniffed and pointed at Tang Qing accusingly. "Liar, your breath smells like food. You had barbecue, didn’t you?"
"No way," Tang Qing asserted, then closed his mouth.
But this couldn’t hide the fact that his breath reeked of barbecue – a rookie mistake.
"You keep denying it, your breath smells of barbecue." Qin Shiqi stood with her hands on her hips and interrogated.
"Err... I only had one skewer." Tang Qing confessed.
"Hehe..." Qin Shiqi shot him a ’you think I’d believe that’ look.
"Look at your hands. It’s not like I didn’t bring you anything." Tang Qing said irritably.
"Regardless, I’m having barbecue tomorrow too."
Qin Shiqi then hid the snacks behind her back.
"Couldn’t you get it yourself?" Tang Qing asked.
"Out of money."
Qin Shiqi’s reason was very persuasive.
"..."
Looking into Qin Shiqi’s eyes, Tang Qing knew what she was thinking.
So, she had been waiting for him.
Tang Qing quickly took out all the money from his pocket and said, "Here, thirteen yuan and sixty cents, all yours." His aunt and uncle hadn’t returned yet today. Otherwise, Qin Shiqi definitely wouldn’t dare to act so ’outrageously’ in the living room.
"Hehe, I got money." Qin Shiqi quickly snatched it and stuffed it in her pocket, not leaving even a penny for Tang Qing.
She hopped back to her room. Soon, a voice could be heard from inside. "Sis, this is yours; this is mine; this is yours; this is..."
The ’dividing the spoils’ conference began. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
Tang Qing shook his head with a smile.
With so many adorable people around, life was so beautiful.
Dinner time.
"Shiqi, I heard you asked Tang for money again." His aunt looked at Qin Shiqi inquisitively.
"Just a bit, only ten or so yuan," Qin Shiqi said quietly. After she finished, she gave her sister a glare. Obviously, it was her sister who had snitched. But there was no blame in her eyes. Besides being a mild clean freak and severe compulsive disorder patient, her sister was also bad at lying, especially to family members – her words were always spot-on.
"Didn’t Tangtang buy you food?" Aunt continued to educate.
"Anyway, my brother is rich, isn’t he, brother?" Qin Shiqi said very confidently.
"Yes, yes, yes, Miss Shiqi, welcome again, okay?" Tang Qing said irritably.
"Mom, see? My brother has no objections, he’s even happy about it."
Qin Shiqi seemed to have found ample justification and looked very proud.
"You still have the nerve..." Aunt gave Qin Shiqi a thump on the head.
Uncle watched from the side, seeing the family together was what he wanted. As for power, he had no interest. After all, he served the people no matter where he was.
At this time, the provincial satellite TV news was playing on the TV.
After the leaders finished, it was the international news.
"According to the latest news, there have been constant large-scale underworld conflict on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand, which has caused 13 deaths and dozens of injuries. Tourists planning to visit Bangkok are advised to consider carefully. Now, let’s watch the detailed report... This is Bangkok..."
"Pfft..."
Hearing this, Tang Qing spat out the rice in his mouth. If it weren’t for him covering his mouth, he couldn’t have eaten this meal. He didn’t expect to see such news at home. Previous news was usually about rumored events, but these were events he had actually participated in and planned.
As for the figures mentioned, Tang Qing didn’t believe them. To his knowledge, the number of casualties was at least in the hundreds. Most of them were people who deserved to die, with criminal records, and those who didn’t deserve to die hardly suffered. The only ones who did were the unfortunate ones involved in the fights.
"Tangtang, what’s wrong?" Aunt asked quickly. His second cousin, Qin Shiyu, also gently patted Tang Qing’s back.
What a good sister.
"Nothing, I just found this news...quite informative." Tang Qing hurriedly explained.
"Yes, our country is the best; safe and reliable. Look at those foreign countries, how chaotic they are. Oh, isn’t Bangkok where your second uncle is? Tangtang, you should call him later and tell him to be careful." Aunt suddenly remembered that Tang Kai was also in Bangkok and expressed her concerns.
"Alright, no problem," Tang Qing agreed, but didn’t take it seriously.
How could his second uncle be in danger? There are several fighters watching him covertly and overtly, and an emergency response team of six ready to support at any time. This emergency team is the same one that carried out the task of eliminating Phipa last time.
These fighters won’t have any proper or improper identities or jobs in Bangkok, they’re usually hiding, distributed throughout Bangkok. As soon as there’s a need somewhere, they’ll immediately gather, pick up their weapons and carry out their tasks. Their task scope is the whole of Thailand, not just Bangkok.
"It might be dangerous for you to go there after the National College Entrance Examination. Maybe you shouldn’t go." Aunt said worriedly.
"Aunt, don’t worry. We’ll stick to main tourist sites when we go. My second uncle is well-established there, and with a few bodyguards, we’ll definitely be safe." Tang Qing reassured her. His trip to Bangkok was still more than two months away. Many things would be settled within these two months. By that time, there was little chance of anything happening. If necessary, he would ask the fighters there to clear things up before they set off. What’s the big deal?
"Alright, then."
Aunt didn’t say more. She thought that if Tang Kai could accomplish so much, he must have some connections. She didn’t think any more about it. After all, she heard that Tang Kai had a dozen or so bodyguards. That many people would intimidate anyone, anywhere.
After dinner.
Tang Qing made a call to his second uncle. Since aunt had mentioned it, he had to make the call.
"Tangtang, what’s up?" A sleepy Tang Kai asked.
"Um, I just saw the news saying that things are a bit unsteady in Bangkok. Second uncle, be careful and try to stay indoors as much as possible." Tang Qing said, feeling a bit weird about making this call, but couldn’t quite figure out why.
"Haha, I’m fine, these things have nothing to do with me." Tang Kai laughed heartily. He thought it was something else. He knew the underworld in Bangkok was in chaos right now, and even insiders were in the dark and confused. He was also fed up, but it really had nothing to do with him. The underworld forces he was familiar with were tranquil as can be, as if they were not in the same city at all.
Although it was a strange situation, he thought it was pretty alright since he didn’t have a tendency to seek trouble.
"That’s good, just be safe during this period."
"..."
After being lectured about his studies again, Tang Qing hung up the phone,
Elders.
They’re a species that gives people a headache; talking about studying all the time.
