Wang Xiao saw the hesitation in Tian Gang’s eyes and knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.
However, with the other party’s current attitude, he would definitely not tell the truth easily.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xiao still decided to bide his time first. Then, he pretended to be relaxed and asked, “I didn’t expect Teacher Tian to have such ability… In that case, we’ll be classmates with his nephew in the filtllre_ right?”
“No, I remended them to Yaoguang Academy.”
Tian Gang shook his head and continued without waiting for Wang Xiao to ask, “I still have something going on, so I’ll leave first. You guys go back early too. The academy’s ranking assessment is about to begin. Rest well for the next few days and conserve your energy.”
With that said, Tian Gang hurriedly left without looking back. Wang Xiao shouted a few times, but it was as if he did not hear him.
“Why is Teacher Tian so strange?”
Zhou Xiruo frowned and said in confusion, “It feels like there’s something he’s afraid of us knowing.”
“Your intuition is very accurate!”
Wang Xiao gave Zhou Xiruo an admiring look before sticking his head into Tian Gang’s private room to take a look.
Although it was not as sumptuous as Wang Xiao’s private room, it was still filled with delicacies. However, the strange thing was that these dishes had not been touched. They were almost identical to when they were first served. “This is getting more and more interesting…”
Wang Xiao frowned and muttered softly. Although he did not know the full story, he was basically certain that something had happened to Tian Gang.
At the same time, outside the Kaiyang Restaurant.
Tian Gang went out and saw Lan Dahai standing on the opposite side of the street. He hurriedly walked over. “Mr. Lan, is anything wrong?”
At this moment, Lan Dahai’s face was no longer as slick as before. He glanced coldly at the Kaiyang Restaurant and turned to leave without saying a word.
Seeing this, Tian Gang hurriedly followed. The two of them walked along the street for a few minutes before finally turning into an empty dark alley.
After standing still, Lan Dahai turned to look at Tian Gang. “Teacher Tian, you didn’t reveal anything just now, right?”
“Absolutely not! I answered them according to what you said! ”
Tian Gang immediately waved his hand when he heard this. He paused and probed, “So… can you let me see my brother now?”
“Not now. This matter needs time to be arranged.”
Lan Dahai rejected in a stiff tone. He paused for a moment before continuing,
“However, you can rest assured. As long as my nephew successfully enters Yaoguang Academy and obtains the qualifications to participate in the academy’s ranking assessment, you will definitely be able to see him.” “Academy’s ranking assessment?”
Tian Gang revealed a difficult expression when he heard this. “Every academy has limited slots to participate in the ranking assessment. I can find someone to arrange for them to enter the Yaoguang Academy, but whether they can obtain the qualifications to participate in the assessment still depends on their own strength.”
“Don’t say that. I believe you must have a way.”
Lan Dahai patted Tian Gang’s shoulder and probed, “That Wang Xiao just now… Is he your student?”
“Yes…”
Tian Gang nodded. He thought of something and hurriedly said, “I can think of a way to let them obtain the qualifications, but you definitely can’t harm my students!”
“Don’t worry, I’m just asking casually.”
Lan Dahai smiled and thought for a moment before asking, “Will he participate in the academy ranking assessment?”
“Yes, he has already obtained the qualifications today.”
“That’s good.”
Lan Dahai nodded, then took out a municator and handed it to Tian Gang. “When the matter of meeting your brother is settled, we’ll contact you with this municator.”
“But if we call your municator directly, it means that the situation has changed. No matter what the person who contacted you says, you have to pretend that you don’t know anything about this… Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
Tian Gang agreed and took the municator. He opened it and found that there was indeed only a number inside. Then, he looked up and wanted to ask more, but he realized that Lan Dahai had already disappeared.
After a short daze, Tian Gang hurriedly chased him into the depths of the alley. After turning a corner, he realized that he had actually arrived at the main street of Kaiyang City. The roads here were spread out in all directions. It was almost impossible to find Lan Dahai.
Looking at the municator Lan Dahai had left behind, a conflicted expression appeared in Tian Gang’s eyes. However, in the end, he still kept the municator and walked away.
Kaiyang Restaurant.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo had just returned to the private room and sat down when Qi Lianjun pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Qi Lianjun asked impatiently, “How is it? Did you get anything out of him?” Wang Xiao sighed and spread his hands. “What about you?”
‘ ..Lan Dahai is very rich.”
Qi Lianjun thought about it seriously and replied, “It’s the kind of money that far exceeds his status. I think there might be a problem with his business.”
“What a coincidence. I feel the same way.”
Wang Xiao laughed sarcastically and dusted his hands helplessly. “Looks like we don’t have anything to gain here. Goodbye, then?”
“Good-bye.”
Qi Lianjun nodded and turned to leave the private room.
After estimating that he had already walked far away, Zhou Xiruo finally could not help but ask, “Wang Xiao, didn’t you say that Teacher Tian must have encountered trouble? Why didn’t you tell Adjutant Qi directly just now?”
“Teacher Tian doesn’t want us to help. Moreover, this is only my guess.”
Wang Xiao smacked his lips helplessly, his eyes faintly revealing a hint of seriousness. “Moreover, the problem the military is facing now is very serious.
Let’s settle this small matter ourselves.’
Zhou Xiruo did not say anything else when she heard this. Then, the two of them left Kaiyang Restaurant.
After Wang Xiao returned home, he wanted to go to the territory to take a look again. However, as soon as he entered the territory, he saw Tang Longji being chased around by the [Silver Shadow Leopard].
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Xiao hurriedly ordered the [Silver Shadow Leopard] to return to the nest. Only then did Tang Longji “escape death”.
“Uncle Tang! Are you alright?!”
Wang Xiao ran to Tang Longji’s side with a puzzled expression. “What did you do just now? Why was the [Silver Shadow Leopard] chasing after you?”
“How would I Imow!”
Tang Longji had a helpless expression. He panted heavily for a few more times before plaining to Wang Xiao, “I had nothing to do and just wanted to tour your territory. In the end, as soon as I entered, it started chasing me like a madman.”
‘You…”
Wang Xiao was about to say something when he saw Tang Longji holding a few crystals in his hand. He was stunned for a moment and asked, “Where did this e from?”
“I picked them up over there.”
Tang Longji raised his hand and pointed in a direction. “I saw that these were very beautiful and wanted to take them back to make jewelry for my wife… By the way, these ordinary crystals are not a resource. Can I take them away?!” “You can, but…
Wang Xiao nodded and revealed a dumbfounded expression. “I think I know why the [Silver Shadow Leopard] was chasing after you..”
