Chapter 477 (2/2)

“Alright. We’ll spend the night at the hotel,” Yue Kai forced a smile. “Besides, the reason we came here tonight was to see you whether something had happened to you, to begin with.”

“If anything, I’m going to the campus tomorrow,” said Tang Xiu with a calm smile.

“All right, then we’ll go first. See you tomorrow, buddy,” Yue Kai nodded.

Suddenly, Mu Wanying stepped forward. She looked at Tang Xiu and shot a glance at Zhang Xinya. There was a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, as she said, “Tang Xiu, it’s not quite convenient for us girls to stay in a hotel. There are many other rooms in your place, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to stay here, would it?”

“You girls can stay in the other two rooms. It’s not your first time staying here, so you can pick whichever room you like. Xinya and I will go to the study room to talk about some matters first,” said Tang Xiu.

A minute later, Tang Xiu and Zhang Xinya came to the study room. Tang Xiu’s behaviour was completely different after he sat. While looking at the awkward and dazed expression on Zhang Xinya’s face, Tang Xiu took out a cigarette, lit it up and took a puff. Then, he said with a smile, “Say, big star, you told me that you wanted to have a chat with me. That should be an excuse, right? Looking at your dazed expression, it doesn’t feel like you want to chat with me. It’s clear that you just made an excuse because you wanted to be alone with me. Say… you didn’t fall in love with me or something, right?”

Zhang Xinya came back to her senses. Upon hearing that, she replied between laughter and tears, “That was quite narcissistic of you, Tang Xiu. Though I do admire you a bit, it’s still a bit early to fall in love, you know! It’s just that I was thinking about some issues.”

“What?” Asked Tang Xiu with a smile.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xinya’s mouth, as she asked, “Do you think I’m beautiful, or is it Mu Wanying more beautiful?”

“Since you ask, I will definitely say that you are beautiful. If the person asking me was Mu Wanying, I will definitely say that she’s beautiful as well. If both of you are present together, I will, of course, say that you all are beautiful women!”

Zhang Xinya shot coquettish, charming white eyes at Tang Xiu, and snappily said, “You guys are all the same, indeed. Hypocrites, and never have any truth whatsoever in your words.”

“My, my… it’s not like I don’t want to have a pleasant chat, no?” Tang Xiu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. “Women are quite petty. It’s unlikely for me to offend a beauty, either.”

Having said that, Tang Xiu was suddenly stunned. He touched his own mouth without him realizing, and looked a bit surprised. He just realized that his empathy and emotional quotient seemed to be getting higher, or better. It was because that idea of saying those words just now wouldn’t have crossed his mind, definitely.

Could it be…

…Was it because he got influenced by Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong due to spending so much time together?

As for Zhang Xinya, she no longer mentioned about this topic, and instead asked, “What exactly did you tonight, Tang Xiu? Secretary Liu were always very secretive and only replied with few words every time I asked him questions. Those extremists are way too frightening, did they all get punished or something?”

“Yeah, all of them have been properly punished,” answered Tang Xiu.

With a complex expression on her face, Zhang Xinya hesitated for a moment before asking, “Tang Xiu, can you comply with my request?”

“Say it!” Tang Xiu shrugged his shoulder and said with a smile.

“The present era’s society is governed under the law. I may not know the differences between your world and the world I live in are, but I want to persuade you to not arbitrarily kill anyone. You’re a very strong individual yourself, and there are also some men of yours who are similarly very good, too. Yet, you are much inferior compared to the big machines possessed by this country. I’m afraid… I’m afraid that one day, you would be…”

“I understand what you mean. I do,” Tang Xiu lightly smiled. “But I can honestly tell you that those who I have killed were all people who deserved to die. For example, the incident this time. There were quite a lot of people who died by my men’s hands, but the both sides were executioners, and had their hands stained by blood. If it weren’t for my men, perhaps your concert would have become a hell on Earth; at least tens of thousands of people would have been killed. Tons of tourists would also have been killed at the airport. Anyways, let’s go back to those people I killed when I was in Hong Kong. The reason I killed them was because most of them had taken human lives, and tons of people had been harmed by them. I would kill an evil person if I can save many good people. Now tell me, do you think I should kill them or not?”

“But… isn’t there the police?” Asked Zhang Xinya.

“Yes, there’s indeed the police. However, why were those people still living so well before I killed them? They had done all kinds of evil, shouldn’t they deserve to get punished?” Probed Tang Xiu.

“This…” Zhang Xinya was speechless.

Tang Xiu smoked his cigarette and smilingly said, “Xinya, relax! Your good intentions and kindness, I can feel them. I know by heart and I live with a code of never harming good people. Not only that, I will also do my best to help them. But for evil people who are not disclosed by any news whatsoever, I will kill them. But once there’s a possibility of disclosing news about them, I will naturally think of other methods, such as adding fuel to the flame so that the law can sanction justice on them!”

Zhang Xinya breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her flawless face, as she nodded and said, “You know very well what’s inside your heart. I also realize that you have helped me many times, and you are also an important person just like Lulu in my heart. Hence, I really treasure you.”

Tang Xiu nodded with a smile, and then suddenly asked, “Why is Ouyang Lulu so quiet tonight? Given her disposition, she should be here, right?”
