Chapter 748 (2/2)

Tang Guosheng nodded in response without speaking. Then, he bitterly said, “There are some people of our family on Mist Source Island, a battalion of martial artists in the military training camp I ordered your Second Grandpa to secretly set up on the island. Contact the people under the country’s First Leader when you get there, and then quietly go to the Tang Manor Martial School to find Tang Han.”

“Who is this Tang Han?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“She’s your First Uncle’s daughter,” answered Tang Guosheng.

Tang Xiu was taken aback and asked, “First Uncle has a daughter? How come I don’t know about her?”

Tang Guosheng forced a smile and said, “In order to have a station on Mist Source Island, we announced to the public that your First Uncle’s daughter died at the age of four, but she was in fact sent to Mist Source Island in secret. After having gone through various training since her childhood, she then successfully took over the Tang Manor Martial School by the time she turned eighteen. It’s been 11 years since. That child… she returned to Beijing every two years in secret. She is 29 years old now, but she has only returned 12 times. Our family… owes her way too much.”

The revelation aroused deep respect in Tang Xiu’s heart toward this cousin he had never meet. He nodded and said, “I understand, Grandpa.”

Tang Min took two things from the bag she carried—a small green book with the words Peace and Safe. The other one was a black badge with only a blood drop engraving on it.

“Xiu’er, this green book is the proof of identity of the State Security Department that was done for you, while this badge is the sign of our Tang Family’s secret force. Take this to your sister and she will naturally believe you,” said Tang Min in a low voice.

Tang Xiu nodded in response. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Grandpa, there’s someone else who wants me to go to Mist Source Island other than you, right? Who is he?”

Tang Guosheng and Tang Min exchanged looks, as the former immediately let out a bitter smile and said, “Really. I can’t hide anything from you. He’s the one at the top.”

“Which one?”

“The highest one.”

Tang Xiu squinted his eyes and asked, “Is there any benefits?”

“Just a sentence: Let bygones be bygones, forever loyal to the country,” said Tang Guosheng.

Tang Xiu was taken aback. He subconsciously took a cigarette and lit it. After taking a few deep puffs, he grinned and said, “This Senior chose to compromise and gave me the plenary country power to act! If my guess is correct, this small green book won’t be taken back either, right?”

“Indeed.” Tang Guosheng knew that his grandson was smart and immediately nodded and smiled.

“Alright,” Tang Xiu stood up. “That being the case, then I’ll take the job. When do I leave?”

“ASAP,” said Tang Guosheng. “The garrison base in Shanghai has prepared a military chopper. You can take off at any time.”

Tang Xiu then looked at Kang Xia and said, “I won’t be able to accompany you in today’s matter. Also, never disclose my whereabouts to anyone.”

There was deep worry and concern on Kang Xia’s face when she got up. Yet, she still nodded and exhorted, “Please do pay attention to your safety.”

“I know,” replied Tang Xiu.

Tang Guosheng and Tang Min did not rush to leave. They looked at Tang Xiu’s back as he quickly left the house, sighing at the same time.

****

Shanghai Garrison Base.

Hu Zhenfeng, who was clad in his army uniform, had been waiting for a long time. He was the Chief of Staff of the Mist Source Island Garrison with a senior colonel rank. Prior to this, he was just on leave and returned to Beijing on vacation, but the major incident that happened on Mist Source Island made him receive an order to escort Tang Guosheng to Shanghai and to stand by at the Shanghai Garrison Base.

To stand by and wait for someone.

He did not know who he was waiting for, and neither could he figure out what kind of identity this person had, to even make him, who was a Chief of Staff with a Senior Colonel rank, to wait.

Honk! Honk!

Four black SUVs came from a distance and parked near the apron of military helicopters, as a big man in a black suit opened the car’s door. Hu Zhenfeng’s eyes then fell on the rear door of the third car. He knew that someone who could enter straight from the outside was definitely a top brass.
