Chapter 462 (2/2)

“Do we still need to protect him, Mr. Secretary?” Asked the young man.

“If by any chance he has an accident while on the mission, do you think the Old Master of the Tang Family will let this matter go? You should have heard the hearsay flying in Beijing, no? For the sake of making up with Tang Xiu, the Old Master of the Tangs is practically cherishing him in his mouth, fearing that he would fall and break from his hand. Because of that, we can’t afford to provoke him; we can only assign two men to protect him.”

“It’s so depressing! He’s practically giving us more problems; a nuisance.” The youth commented in a low voice, yet he still nodded.

It was already 4:30 PM when Tang Xiu left Shangri-La Hotel. After hesitating and pondering for a while, he decided to go to campus to give the concert tickets Zhang Xinya gave him to his friends. On the way to Shanghai University, however, he phoned Gu Xiaoxue and told her to send a group of powerful experts whose background records were relatively clean in the country to come here.

Despite being unsure as to why Tang Xiu needed such a large number of experts, Gu Xiaoxue didn’t ask anything and dispatched 40 experts to wait for Tang Xiu’s assignment.

_At Shanghai University…_

The class was already over by the time Tang Xiu arrived. Instead of going to the classroom, he sat in the car and looked at the students constantly coming out of the entrance.

“Mmm?”

Suddenly, Tang Xiu’s brows raised, as a wisp of a smile appeared on his face. It was because he saw an acquaintance, Yi Lianyan.

_Di di…_

Tang Xiu sounded the car’s horn and suddenly, many students who had come out of the classroom building fixed their eyes on him.

“Is that… Tang Xiu?”

“Oh God! I’m actually seeing Tang Xiu? He hasn’t been coming to campus lately, right? Never thought he would come today!”

“Holy cow! He seems to be very rich! Isn’t that a Land Rover Range Rover series? Isn’t that car rumored to be priced at at least 1 million?”

“He’s now a superstar, buddy! A big celebrity. But, what did he come to the campus for? The classes are already over today.”

“…”

Many people stopped walking and animatedly chattered about him for a while. The sound of the car’s horn also attracted Yi Lianyan and several of her classmates. Ignoring her classmates gazes and dorm sisters, she half ran toward Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu opened the car’s door. While looking at Yi Lianyan, he smilingly said, “Ehh, you seem very angry?”

Upon hearing this, Yi Lianyan rushed toward Tang Xiu and kicked his calf. Then, she angrily said, “You already knew that I had enrolled here before we registered as freshmans. Why the hell didn’t you tell me?”

“You didn’t ask me,” Tang Xiu replied with a laugh. “Besides, saying that I also got admitted to Shanghai University, _pfft_ … It’s not like I can show off so willfully like you, no?”

“You…” Yi Lianyan ranted. “What a lame argument and perverted logic! You’re quibbling!”

“Okay, okay. The fault is mine, all right?” Tang Xiu laughed. “I didn’t tell you because you didn’t ask. Well, I’m quite busy now, but I’ll treat you two days later. I’ll also introduce you to some hot guys. Is that OK?”

Yi Lianyan rolled her eyes at Tang Xiu. Her action was a bit coquettish and charming. Despite so, she couldn’t help smiling, “Who the hell cares about hot guys? Just gimme your cell number again. My phone was lost before, so was your number lost as well. I was originally planning to make a trip to Nine Dragons Island to find Mo Āwen and ask him your number!”

Smiling, Tang Xiu spelled his number to her. Then, he smilingly said, “Now you don’t need to go there anymore. I just saved you of travel expenses, didn’t I?”

“Hmph!” Yi Lianyan grunted. “I will ask for reimbursement from you, anyway! That’s right, it was kinda out of my imagination that you would also be a student at Shanghai University. If it wasn’t for you performing at the freshmen welcoming party I would still have been in the dark till now. Speaking about it, you’re really amazing, Tang Xiu. You’re still a college student, yet you already run so many businesses, and you’re even acquainted with so many powerful people. You are…”

Tang Xiu interrupted her speech and smilingly said, “If you want to express your admiration, I think you gotta hold it for now. There’s something I gotta do now.”

“What are you going to do?” Asked Yi Lianyan, confused.

“I gotta give something to my classmates at the campus, and then I’ll go out to deal with something. By the way, do you have some spare time tomorrow night? Do you want to watch the concert of the big star, Zhang Xinya?”
