Chapter 413 (2/2)

Tang Xiu hugged Li Laoshan and laughed, “What’s wrong? You can come here, but I cannot?”

While suppressing his shock, a smile appeared on Li Laoshan’s plump face. He laughed loudly and said, “It is said that, though kindred spirits are born a thousand miles apart, they shall still meet. It seems like Brother Tang and I really are predestined friends. We haven’t seen each other for quite a long time after leaving Saipan. Anyhow, how have you been? You went to Shanghai University, have you hooked up with any campus flowers?”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing and said, “I’m a chaste young man, how could I go to university to chase some chicks? Anyhow, I was kinda surprised, though. Why are you here?”

“Well, it’s for a business deal.” Li Laoshan grinned.

“You have a problem if I take a ride with you?” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

“What problem?” Li Laoshan joyfully replied, “I’m happy to have you ride the car with me! Anyways, let me introduce her to you. This is Ji Shiyan, the secretary of Yellowsteel Group’s Boss.”

Glancing at Ji Shiyan, Tang Xiu said lightly, “Yeah, I taste some attitude from her. Kinda overbearing.”

Ji Shiyan didn’t expect that Li Laoshan would actually know Tang Xiu, and that the duo was apparently very close. After hesitating, she then slightly leaned forward and said, “Mr. Tang, I apologize for my attitude just now. I didn’t know that you are Boss Li’s friend.”

“Eh, what happened before?” Li Laoshan was surprised.

“It’s nothing.” Tang Xiu said, “Anyhow, Fatty Li, wait for me a bit, I’ll be right back.”

Having said that, he returned to that unlicensed taxi driver’s window. He took 1,000 yuan from his wallet, handed it over to Chang Hao and then said with a smile, “All right, you can drop me here! I’ll take a ride with them.”

“Brother Tang, you’re amazing! To think you came across such a Big Boss here.” Chang Hao who just heard the conversation between Tang Xiu and Li Laoshan raised his thumb and praised after receiving the money, “All right, I’ll go back then. If you need a car after you come back, just gimme a call. The fare will be just like we talked before.”

Tang Xiu took Chang Hao’s business card. After stuffing it into his pocket, he smiled and said, “No problem.”

As Chang Hao drove away, Tang Xiu followed Li Laoshan into the SUV. Since they sat in the back seat, Ji Shiyan moved to sit in the front seat.

The six cars started.

With a smiling face, Li Laoshan asked, “Brother Tang, what are you doing in this place? That car before is an unlicensed taxi, right?”

“Yup, it’s an unlicensed taxi.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “I got something to take care of in the depths of Shennong Ridge, thus I rushed here at night.”

“You got something to do in the depths of Shennong Ridge?” Li Laoshan was surprised and said, “What is it? It’s unsafe there, there are tons of wild animals and poisonous swamp everywhere.”

“I’m looking for some medicinal herbs.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

Li Laoshan knew that Tang Xiu was a powerful martial artist, so he nodded and said, “What medicinal herbs are you looking for, Brother Tang? Need me to lend a hand? I still have quite a lot of time after finishing the business talk with the Yellowsteel Group’s Boss, so I can accompany you to Shennong Ridge.”

“No need!” Tang Xiu shook his head and smiled, “The medicinal herb I’m looking for is very special, it’s kinda hard to find.”

On the front seat, Ji Shiyan smacked her lips. She took a disliking to Tang Xiu due to his arrogance.

“Brother Tang, you’re looking down on this old brother of yours.” Li Laoshan said discontentedly, “Your old brother might be weaker than you, but my skill is still more powerful than the average person. Besides, the more people we have, the stronger we are. With my help, perhaps you can find that medicinal herb sooner.”

After saying that, he looked at Ji Shiyan and said, “You go back and tell your boss that the contract signing will be delayed.”

“This…”

Ji Shiyan was secretly exasperated and angry inside. Yet, the target of her anger was not Li Laoshan, but the irksome guy who showed up unexpectedly and disrupted the plan — Tang Xiu. It must be known that the contract to be signed between Li Laoshan and Yellowsteel Group was very important, and she feared that her Boss would be worried and restless.

“Fatty Li, I already know the place where I’m heading to in advance. It’s the Shennong Ridge’s Ghost King Valley, a very dangerous place. Even if it’s me, I must be extra careful there. If you were to come with me, I’m afraid…” Tang Xiu forced a smile.

“What did you say?”

Ji Shiyan, who was feeling vexed inside, suddenly exclaimed after hearing the place where Tang Xiu would go.

“Is there a problem?” Tang Xiu asked.

JI Shiyan’s face turned a bit unsightly, and quickly said, “Mr. Tang, have you given careful thought? The Ghost King Valley is a dreadful place. It’s definitely the most dangerous place I know of. All these years, there have been tons of daredevils wanting to explore that valley, and as far as I know, no one has yet been able to come out of that place alive. Hence, for us, the Fei City’s inhabitants, the Ghost King Valley is simply a deathtrap fraught with dangers.”

Tang Xiu glanced at her and immediately turned to Li Laoshan, saying with a smile, “You heard that, Fatty Li? The place I’m about to go is simply a deathtrap. You might as well go take care of your business! If after I come out of there you’re still in Fei City, I’ll then call you and we will have a glass of wine.”
