Chapter 976: I’m not A Busybody

The black youth got up from the bench and glared at Tang Xiu as he and the rest of his men pulled out their pistols. Right as they aimed the muzzles at Tang Xiu, however, Tang Guang’s chilling voice sounded, “Put the gun down if you don’t wanna die here. I already told you that your gun is useless and is nothing but a toy in my eyes.”

“What fucking arrogance!” shouted the black youth.

A chilling light flashed in Tang Guang’s eyes. The dagger in his hand instantly shot at the guy’s wrist. As the fella’s pistol fell to the floor, the delicate woman bounced up a few times and appeared in front of the seven or so big men as the silver thread in her palm swept at them, directly cutting off their wrists that held their guns, causing their wrists to fall onto the floor along with their pistols.

In that instant, all the smuggled people inside the cabin were stricken with panic, looking incredulously at Tang Guang and the delicate woman racing hearts.

At the doorway of the cabin, the lean middle-aged man who constantly looked drowsy suddenly raised his head and indifferently said, “Go fucking outside if you wanna shed blood here. I hate the smell of blood, though I don’t mind the making of bloody scenes.”

Tang Xiu shot a look at the black guy and his men whining in pain. He shook his head and said, “Let’s stop here and now since the Snakehead Boss already said that he doesn’t like the smell of blood. And you, black dude. I don’t care who you are and what background you have. Just carve in your mind that I’m not one who you can afford to provoke on this ship. Just behave if you still value your life.”

The black guy glared at Tang Xiu with visible hatred. He gritted his teeth and sat back on the bench. Despite everything, he couldn’t cast away a deep fear in his heart toward Tang Xiu since he was well aware that each of his men was comparable to experts who were able to contend with a group of average people. Yet, they didn’t even have any chance to fight back at all when facing a single man and woman. They had been easily dealt with even after they had pulled their guns out.

These people were experts and ones that were very powerful.

The turn of events that evolved to this dramatic outcome was out of Zuo Qing’s expectation. The reason why she spoke out was because of her gratitude to Tang Xiu for giving her children candy and chocolate bars, while she also worried that he would be bullied by these men. However, it never came to her mind that the real ruthless man turned out to be this good-looking and kindhearted young man.

At this time, she secretly glanced at Tang Xiu, while Tang Xiu himself was keenly aware that she was peeking at him. He just let out a smile towards her and lightly said, “Thank you for the warning. It’s fate that brought us to meet, which was the reason why I protected you and your children.”

“Thank you,” said Zuo Qing with gratitude.

Previously, she had been worrying that the process of people smuggling was dangerous. And now, she had witnessed it personally, thus causing her worries to grow deeper, and she even feared that they would encounter an accident on the ship. But her restlessness subsided a lot after hearing Tang Xiu’s words.

Yet, she couldn’t cast away the familiar feeling she had with Tang Xiu. She felt that she had seen him somewhere, and the thought kept popping up even though she couldn’t remember where from.

After a long while, she suddenly emboldened herself to look at Tang Xiu and asked, “Do you know someone named Zuo Daquan?”

Zuo Daquan?

“No, I don’t know about him.” Tang Xiu shook his head.

A disappointed expression flashed in Zuo Qing’s eyes. Her father was once a very famous character in China and had extensive connections. If it wasn’t because he had provoked a very powerful family, he wouldn’t have fled from China and lived abroad while hiding their name.

This time, her husband’s family had been defeated, while her husband died in a strange car accident. Being alone, helpless, and with no one to turn to, her only option was taking her two children back to her father overseas. However, so as to avoid being traced by their enemy while looking for her father abroad, she contacted a few close brothers of her father who could only take her two twin children to enter Saipan illegally. She had to leave Saipan on a smuggling ship to Thailand afterwards.

Tang Guang, who had returned to Tang Xiu’s side, looked a bit surprised and whispered, “I know about Zuo Daquan and I once met him, Boss. It’s just I don’t know whether he and the man she just mentioned are the same person.”

“You do?” asked Tang Xiu. “Who exactly is this Zuo Daquan?”

“He was quite a famous character in the southern provinces some time ago,” answered Tang Guang in a whisper. “Although he didn’t have a direct connection to the highest officials in the country, he was still considered a powerful figure. He’s a businessman, a big one who practically can make money out of anything. But about a decade ago, he had to abandon most of his family’s business and fled abroad because he offended the Huang Family from the Fukang province.”

The Huang Family?

A smile appeared on Tang Xiu’s as he inquired again, “Do you know the cause of the conflict?”

“That I don’t know, but Sis Xiaxue definitely knows about it,” answered Tang Guang.

Tang Xiu took out his cell phone before remembering that he was at sea right now with no signal. Then, he stood up to walk to Zuo Qing’s side. After sitting cross-legged, he took out two bars of chocolate and handed them over to her as he looked at Zuo Qing and said, “Well, I got nothing to do anyway, so tell me what happened between your old man with the Huang Family.”
