Chapter 477: Threats

Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales

There was no fear on Tang Xiu’s face after Liu Changxi said that. He looked rather unperturbed and calm, and replied without being salty nor limpid, “I really don’t know what you’re talking about, Secretary Liu. But what I’m sure of is that you are threatening me.”

“You can think of it as me threatening you,” said Liu Changxi seriously.

After being silent for a short while, Tang Xiu suddenly let out a smile and said, “You know, I am someone who is very timid, and the thing I fear the most is coming across trouble; however, my strongest point is that I‘m never afraid of facing threats. You may be someone from the Ministry of State Security, but I’m afraid you’ll have to think about the consequences of making trouble for me without any ground. Hehehe… the House of Tang may be weaker than we were in the past, yet a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. You should also understand this fact.”

“You…” Liu Changxi’s expression changed, and there was an indignant look in his eyes. He was always the one threatening others in the past, but it was Tang Xiu who threatened him now.

The most important fact was that Tang Xiu’s threat was pretty much undeniable, and very effective. Though he was someone from the Ministry of State Security, he could see much clearer than anyone else about the political aspects. Once the Tang Family were to exert their forces, the trouble he could get into would probably be big, even his position and job would be on the stake.

He stayed silent for two minutes before finally letting out a bitter smile, “I just found that I can’t see through you, Tang Xiu. If I didn’t know that you are only in your 20s, I would have thought that you were an experienced old fox. Anyhow, I apologize. I hope that you can see the difficulties I’m facing. I simply can’t sleep and eat peacefully if I can’t investigate this matter thoroughly.”

“What I can tell you is that there is not even the slightest relationship between me and those mysterious people,” said Tang Xiu calmly. “As for the extremists, their bodies have vanished. Shortly put, the issues with those extremists have come to an end.”

“What?”

Liu Changxi abruptly got up, a look of disbelief in his eyes. He was able to reach his position due to his intelligence and astuteness. From what Tang Xiu said, he could tell what had happened to the remaining extremists.

“Secretary Liu, I already told you what I must say and the things I shouldn’t say. If you still feel indebted to me due to the matter that happened tonight, I hope the matter with the extremists will end here and now. I, Tang Xiu, always play fair and square, and you have my guarantee that I will not do anything harmful to my own country. Hence, it’s best not to bother me later, so I won’t have to bother you too,” said Tang Xiu.

Liu Changxi’s mouth twitched, causing him want to open Tang Xiu’s mind to find out the bottom of the matter, as well as wanting to clearly figure out the origins of those mysterious people.

However, he dared not do so!

Suddenly, he said, “Then, I don’t have anything else to say. However, I do want you to reconsider joining our security department. I sincerely hope that you can join us earlier if possible, and do something for the country.”

“I told you very clearly before that I wouldn’t consider joining any department before I graduated from college, didn’t I?” Tang Xiu waved his hand and answered.

With a forced smile, Liu Changxi replied, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know that the greater the ability, the bigger the responsibility one must shoulder, Tang Xiu? Your special ability is exactly what we need!”

“Secretary Liu, I believe that the world has infinite marvels and wonders in it. There are many people with strange abilities in China as long as your security department is seriously looking for them. There are many like me, and it’s not a few in number. Besides, I want to have a peaceful and serene life while studying. We can discuss it again in the future,” answered Tang Xiu.

Looking at Tang Xiu with a deep gaze, Liu Changxi then got up from the sofa and said, “Since you have already expressed your point, I won’t force you anymore. Anyhow, our security department will continue to search for the rest of the extremists. I hope you can tell me all you know one day.”

“All right!” Tang Xiu followed up and replied.

Afterward, Tang Xiu sent them off. When he returned to the living room, he found that Li Laoshan also had left with his people. He left a message for Tang Xiu saying that he would have lunch with him tomorrow.

“Tang Xiu, let’s have a chat,” said Zhang Xinya softly, under the gaze of everyone’s eyes.

Tang Xiu nodded, and looked at the five children, Tang Xiaojin and the rest, who were with Zhang Xinya, saying, “All of you go sleep; it’s late. I will wake you up at four o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“All right!”

The five children obediently complied. Though they only met Zhang Xinya through half of the dinner time and liked her gentle and kind manner, they still listened to Tang Xiu’s order and returned to their rooms to sleep.

“Tang Eldest Bro, what about us…” said Yue Kai.

While pointing at the direction of the rooms occupied by Tang Xiaojin and the rest, Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “You can’t stay here, buddy.”
