Chapter 1039 - Saving The Little Girl (2/2)

“To my bad luck, I’m indeed acquainted with her, I guess.” Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “She was the one who reported several matters I did before. I wouldn’t have been exposed to the public eyes otherwise.”

“Huh?” Wei Changsheng was surprised and said, “The way I get it, you don’t want to be famous?”

“Just like pigs dread being fat, fame will only portend trouble for me,” said Tang Xiu with a helpless face. “I’ve always intended to keep a low-profile, but who would’ve thought that this girl had secretly made her scoop about me without my permission. I know that she had no bad intentions. What she has been promoting is all the positive energy she could broadcast all the time, so I can’t blame her even if it’s against my will.”

Wei Changsheng nodded. After pondering for a while, he then said, “I was going to give that lass a lesson, at least shut her in detention for 15 days, so that she can take the lesson well. However, since you’re advocating for her, then I’ll drop it. You can take her away, but keep in mind to educate her well to let her know what can be reported and what cannot.”

With a face full of assurance, Tang Xiu complied. “No worries. I’ll educate her well about that. That’s right, Chief Wei. Do you like to drink? I got a nice wine here, would you like me to sell you two bottles of it?”

Staring blankly for a moment, Wei Changsheng immediately smiled and said, “Is it the Gods Nectar?”

Tang Xiu took out the Gods Nectar from the interspatial ring and handed it over to Wei Changsheng with a smile. “That will be two yuan. I hope Chief Wei doesn’t mind me collecting the money.”

‘Two yuan? That’s funny!’

Wei Changsheng’s lips curled upward and a smile crept up his face. He slipped his hand into his pocket and found some money. But the smallest bill was five yuan, so he just gave it to Tang Xiu and grinningly said, “Well, I don’t mind buying three more if you have it. Our security department has many people who love drinking you know.”

Tang Xiu grinned back and took out three more bottles of God’s Nectar from the interspatial ring. Then, he said, “Well, since Chief Wei and the other comrades like the Gods Nectar, just directly contact Kang Xia. I’ll tell her about it in advance.”

Wei Changsheng squinted his eyes, watching Tang Xiu take out the Gods Nectar out of thin air. He had faintly noticed something. To verify upon his guess, he asked in a whisper, “Hey, Tang Xiu. Duanmu Lin told me that you’re a cultivator. So, the thing you used to store these Gods Nectar must be an object unique to cultivators like you, right?”

“Yeah, it’s an interspatial ring,” answered Tang Xiu without hesitation. “The space is not bad and it can store some Gods Nectar. Pity that the country has regulations that we can’t gift presents to superiors, though. I would’ve gifted you ten boxes of God’s Nectar otherwise as a show of filial piety, Chief Wei!”

“Bwahaha…” Wei Changsheng burst into laughter and said, “No need for ten boxes. One or two boxes are enough for me. You’re great, Tang Xiu! I like you even though this is our first meeting, young man! I believe you got a great future ahead of you.”

“I take your words as a blessing and I’ll surely work hard for it,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Nodding with a smile in response, Wei Changsheng asked again, “Are you ready to take the girl away now, or…”

“I’ll take her away now since I’m going home to congratulate Grandpa on his birthday,” Tang Xiu said. “Also, I’ll be sure to invite you to drink and report my work to you whenever I got some spare time, Chief Wei.”

“Okay! Senior Tang’s birthday cannot be held without the presence of his cherished grandson now, can it? Be sure to come here more often,” Wei Changsheng smilingly said.

“Got it!”

Tang Xiu replied and followed the burly man towards the partial room in the front courtyard. When the door was pushed away from the outside, sobbing was heard from the inside. Tang Xiu let out a smile and came inside as he saw the single bed in the corner and Tian Xiaomeng shrinking in the corner of the bed, crying.

“Well, have you learned your lesson now, girl?”

Tian Xiaomeng looked up with a teary face. She was stunned upon seeing Tang Xiu, crying out “WOW” and cried again as though venting all the grievances. At the same time, she struggled to stand up from the corner of the bed and jumped out to rush into Tang Xiu’s arms.

The burly man just stood at the door, looking at Tang Xiu and Tian Xiaomeng with a strange expression. At this moment, he straightly misunderstood Tian Xiaomeng as Tang Xiu’s girlfriend after seeing how close the relationship between the two was.

Tang Xiu himself could feel Tian Xiaomeng’s emotions. He hugged and patted her back and smilingly said, “Hey, aren’t you a big girl already? Stop crying so bitterly, would you? I told you before that you know nothing about how serious the matter is, didn’t I? Yet you still dared to broadcast that kind of scene. It doesn’t matter how many years you have, you won’t be let off lightly for it.”

Tian Xiaomeng slightly shuddered. She tried hard to stop her crying and her face was ghastly pale. With a stuttering voice, she asked, “I… I-I’m g-gonna b-be j-jailed?”

Inwardly, Tang Xiu felt so funny and pinched her nose hard, saying, “You should’ve been sent to prison for a few years to renovate yourself already. But since I’m here, I can naturally save you. But you’re forbidden from carelessly making any rash live broadcasts in the future. I will no longer be able to save you even if I sell my face again, you got that?”

Tian Xiaomeng understood Tang Xiu’s meaning and gratefully nodded, but her eyes still couldn’t stop the tears from coming out.

At this moment, in Tian Xiaomeng’s heart, Tang Xiu was not only her idol but was elevated to her patron saint that could give her a sense of security.
