Chapter 126: Proving he wasn't doing this for the first time!

  Who ignited and extinguished love?

  Who woke up whom and died?

  For no reason at all, Tang Zhong suddenly remembered these two lines of a small poem he had seen somewhere.

  Tang Chong didn't go to the bathroom, and the location of the bathroom wasn't outside the door turning left.

  The way to the left is the exit. Hua Ming knew that Tang Zhong wanted to go out for some fresh air.

  Outside, lanterns shine yellow, wine fragrance is fragrant, joyful songs and laughter are refreshing.

  Guests come here just for fun, and those nightclub girls can only show great joy.

  Tang Chong walked out of the grand hall that shone with golden light and stood under the eaves, gazing at the drizzly sky with a worried expression.

  He didn't bring an umbrella.

  It's the peak business hour of the club, guests are pouring in, and the receptionist at the entrance is busy greeting the distinguished guests, but no one notices the disappointed person standing in the corner.

  Wrapped up in his clothes, ready to dash into the rain-soaked street and hail a ride, a middle-aged man with a large black umbrella walked over, smiling and asked: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Tang Chong?"

  "It's me," said Tang Chong. He warily stared at the stranger's face, making sure he didn't recognize him or recall seeing him anywhere before.

  "Mr. Qiu wants to see you." As the man spoke, he handed over a finely polished but unadorned business card with the name "Qiu Hongtu" in three large characters and a row of digits.

  No title is needed; this name alone proves everything.

  Tang Chong likes this kind of confident and domineering person. Those who fill both sides of their business cards with titles are either not strong enough inside or swindlers.

  "Hmph." Tang Zhong burst out laughing and said: "He's finally appeared."

  "If Mr. Tang agrees, I'll bring the car over right away." The middle-aged man with glasses asked with a professional smile.

  "Agreed." Tang said bluntly. "Every day, countless people line up to see Mr. Qiu, I won't miss this opportunity no matter what."

  The middle-aged man smiled and made a gesture with his hand. A black Mercedes-Benz sedan not far away suddenly lit up its headlights, then slowly drove over in this direction.

  "It seems you've been waiting for a long time." Tang Chong said with a cold smile. But in his heart, he was thinking what it meant that Qiu Hongtu had specially sent someone to keep an eye on him at the entrance of Leifenghui, did he still worry that after the birthday party, he would take his daughter to the small hotel near the school gate and open a room?

  Unfortunately, I failed to live up to his expectations.

  "This is Mr. Qiu's statement." The middle-aged man didn't get angry either, and explained with a smile.

  A Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of them, and a middle-aged man helped open the door. Tang Zhong didn't stand on ceremony with him either, and took the lead to get into the back seat.

  The middle-aged man opened the passenger door and got in, then the car started again.

  The middle-aged man didn't say a word, and Tang Chong was also lost in his own thoughts. Along the way, they didn't exchange another word with each other.

  After about twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of a high-end residential area. After the driver swiped his card, the car started again and stopped in the courtyard of a small villa.

  A middle-aged man quickly got out of the car and came over with a large black umbrella to help Tang Chong open the door.

  Tang Zhong was led by him with a big black umbrella covering his head and walked into the villa.

  Pushing open the door, a warm air rushed towards me.

  At the same time, a familiar yet extremely strange Chinese face also appeared. The familiarity was because Tang Zhong had seen his photos in many financial magazines and online news outlets, and even the school's financial journal had an article about his rise to fame.

  Strangely, it was their first formal meeting. Last time at the south gate, they had only caught a glimpse of each other from afar. And he himself was somewhat different from his photo. In the photo, he wore a suit and glasses, with a warm smile, looking like a kind elder. Now, without glasses, his facial features were sharp, his eyes piercing, as if staring at someone who wanted to sneak into the house to steal his daughter.

  Qiu Hongtu, chairman of the Hongda Group, personally stood at the door to greet him.

  "We should have met earlier." Qiu Hongtu extended his large hand to Tang Chong and said, "It's just that I've been busy with a takeover case in the US recently, and I really couldn't get away to come back."

  "It's still not too late." Tang Zhong stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, saying.

  "It may be a bit impolite to do so." Qiu Hongtu invited Tang Chong to sit down on the sofa. "I learned from Yihans' mother that you would attend her birthday party today, so I had someone wait at the door and thought of inviting you over for a chat after you finished your business."

  He looked at Tang Chong with a puzzled expression and said: "I didn't expect you to come earlier than I thought."

  "Wouldn't this make you feel a bit safer?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

  Qiu Hong's eyes stared intently at Tang Chong and said, "Young man, your aggression is very strong."

  "I just feel wronged." Tang Chong took the teacup handed over by the servant, holding it in his palm to warm his hands. "A defeated general on the battlefield of love, and still being summoned by her father to be threatened and warned? A poor guy like me also has dignity, okay?"

  Qiu Hongtu burst out laughing and said, "I'm not sure if you're a loser in the arena of love, but I don't believe you when you say you're a poor kid. Someone who can kill people and also get the director of the Mingzhu City Bureau to go help you clean up the aftermath - how could they be an ordinary person?"

  Tang Chong looked up at Qiu Hongtu and said, "Do you want to thank me or break the pot and ask to the bottom?"

  "Will you speak if I ask?" asked Qiuhongtu tentatively.

  "I won't say." Tang Zhong replied with relish.

  "Frankly, I do want to know more. But at the same time, I also understand that it's not quite right to pry into others' secrets. Everyone has their own secrets and everyone has the right to keep them."

  "Is that all you're going to say?"

  "I'm really grateful to you." Qiuhongtu nodded. "The moment I received the call, I was scared out of my wits. I never thought that Yihans would encounter such a dangerous situation. Thank you so much for saving my daughter. No matter what the assassin's purpose was or who they were after, you helped me rescue her back. There's nothing more important than this."

  Tang Zhong raised an eyebrow and said: "You don't know who is behind the scenes either?"

  "At the moment I received the call, I was certain that the killer was after me. The business world is like a battlefield, and one always has to do things that offend people. Because I thought it was impossible for them to target an ordinary student for assassination. However, after reviewing the case and understanding a corner of your identity, I'm no longer sure about this idea. Do you know who the mastermind behind the scenes is?"

  "It seems Mr. Qiu is not planning on taking responsibility for this matter." Tang Zhong sneered.

  "No." Ahongtu waved his hand and said, "I've told you before, I really appreciate it."

  "It's just talk, after all?" Tang Zhong said sarcastically. "Before your people came to take away the girl and my protector hadn't appeared yet, why didn't you 'thankfully' help me out? I think that if Mr. Qi could have expressed his gratitude at that time, my situation wouldn't be so dangerous."

  Qiu Hong's face turned awkward as he said, "This is exactly why I rushed to see you after I came back. At that time, there were only two women at home, and they thought the killer was targeting you. This matter has something to do with you, and Yihanshen was just implicated. I'm usually not at home often, it's Yihanshen's grandmother who helps take care of the child. They spoiled her too much, so they neglected your feelings. In any case, I want to say sorry to you."

  "Mr. Qiu really knows how to take care of his family," Tang Chong retorted. "You say Autumn Cold's grandmother doesn't understand anything, I get it. But if I'm not mistaken, isn't Mrs. Qiu the sales president of Hongda Real Estate? In today's poor market, Mrs. Qiu can sell out all of Hongda's properties and quickly recover the funds. You're saying a woman like that wouldn't even think of something so simple? I don't believe it."

  “”

  Qiu Hongtu lowered his head to drink tea, using the corner of his eye to size up the fearless guy sitting in front of him.

  He is more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and also smarter than he imagined.

  "It's a bit cruel to say that." Qiuhongtu finally looked up at Tangzhong again. "At that time, I wasn't sure of your identity and was more worried that you would get together with Yihuan, so they chose the cold treatment approach."

  It's really cruel.

  If Tang Zhong wasn't Tang Zhong but was called Zhang San Li Si, if Tang Zhong was just an ordinary student at Nan University, if it wasn't for Jiang Tao from the Municipal Bureau coming to bail himself out in the end, then his own experience would be being ignored by everyone.

  As for how the police will handle the case, that's their own business. Who would care about the life or death of an insignificant little person?

  A fairy marrying a billionaire's son and a rich girl marrying a poor boy only happen in fairy tales.

  Why does everyone like this kind of passage? It's because it's rare, novel and satisfies humanity's beautiful fantasies.

  "Since that's the case." Tang Zhong couldn't understand. "Why did you send someone to bring me over again? Was it just to tell me the truth? Or do you think my current status is not simple, and I have the capital to pursue your daughter?"

  "I know this will make you very angry." Qiu Hongtu looked at Tang Chong seriously and said, "But that's the fact. When you have a daughter, you won't want her to be with someone who can't give her a future either. All fathers would make the same choice as me."

  "We are not bad people, we are just selfish. This time, I owe you. Autumn Hongtu acknowledges this debt. Also hope to have the opportunity to repay in the future"

  "At that time, under those circumstances, saving Autumn Cold was actually for my own sake." Tang Chong interrupted Autumn Hongtu's words and said: "Of course, if you must thank me, just give me a check. Don't make such a big promise, it's too far away, I have limited vision, I can only see tomorrow. The money in my pocket is the most real. I am a very good person to buy, and I won't talk about dignity or pride with you, tear up your check and throw it in your face to make you embarrassed."

  "Also, you must be careful when choosing a son-in-law. Although Qiuyi is a bit silly, he looks good enough. Even if you don't think highly of me, please don't choose Ji William. This guy is an expert at flirting with girls. For your daughter's birthday, he can invite a monk from afar to help celebrate, proving that it's not his first time doing such things."
