97: Chapter 97: Crown Prince of the Business District!
Liu Qingyun knelt before Tang Zhong with an excited look on his face, his eyes brimming with admiration.
“What are you doing?” Tang Zhong asked.
The man before him suddenly called him a benefactor, leading Tang Zhong to realize he might have been recognized.
He wasn’t certain yet, so he decided to probe a bit first.
“No…
Benefactor, I am Liu Qingyun, do you rember …
Heh, the benefactor surely can’t rember , I was just a small cleaner when you t ten years ago!” Liu Qingyun laughed heartily.
“Then get up,” Tang Zhong gestured, as if he already had an inkling of sothing.
“Thank you, benefactor, but I will not rise.
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today…
Although you surely can’t rember who I am, I will always rember you!” Liu Qingyun refused to stand up no matter what.
Tang Zhong truly couldn’t recall this person.
Over the years, there had been many who received his guidance, and all of them had gone on to beco prominent figures.
This man, however, left no impression on him.
“Granting favor is a trifling matter, please stand up!” Tang Zhong said, now certain that this man knew him.
“I will not rise.
Benefactor, I kneel because you granted a new life.
Had it not been for you, I might still be a cleaner, never achieving the status I have today,” Liu Qingyun continued.
Tang Zhong really was at a loss; he truly couldn’t rember who this person was.
He had absolutely no recollection.
Seeing Tang Zhong’s puzzled expression, Liu Qingyun went on: “It’s normal that the benefactor does not rember , after all, you were once the leader of the Crown Prince’s Club!”
“The Crown Prince’s Club!”
Upon hearing this na, Tang Zhong’s thoughts imdiately flew to his days in Xuanjing City; at that ti, Tang Zhong was only eight!
So that’s how it was!
At last, Tang Zhong understood, although when accounting ticulously, it was true that he had helped many people.
The Crown Prince’s Club was actually an organization of young people from Xuanjing City, a legacy carried on for many years, existing since the establishnt of Xuan Country.
The mbers were all young, but they were not ordinary young people – they were influential and distinguished individuals.
So had started businesses from a young age and soared to heights, while others were second or even nth-generation businessn from wealthy families.
One could say it was a place where dragons and fishes mingled; every individual, once called upon, could potentially influence the comrcial circles of Xuan Country.
And those who erged from this circle would cause a stir in the markets of Xuanjing City with a single move.
This was the power of the Crown Prince’s Club.
Within the Crown Prince’s Club, the strongest was the Crown Prince, lauded as the smartest of all, elected every four years.
One had to surpass all challengers and win everyone’s conviction to beco the current Crown Prince.
Tang Zhong was that Crown Prince.
Back then, he already possessed Superman-like talents, unique insights, and was undefeated, the most formidable Crown Prince in the club’s history!
However, Tang Zhong rembered that his ti in the Crown Prince’s Club was just one short day.
Because, a day later, he was sent away from Xuan Country and beca a mber of Dragon’s Tooth, carrying out various missions.
But in his mory, he hadn’t t the man before him on that day when he beca the Crown Prince.
Seeing Tang Zhong’s expression, Liu Qingyun knew that Tang Zhong had recalled the past, and with a trembling voice said, “Crown Prince, it really doesn’t matter if you can’t rember .
I was just a cleaner outside the eting venue.
Secretly listening to a few of your sayings, I had an epiphany.
Following the Crown Prince’s philosophy, I worked hard and beca the chief of the police.
Back then, I only saw your silhouette through a crack in the door, yet that image is deeply etched in my mind.
I never imagined that there could be such a perfect individual as the Crown Prince in the world, and I’ve never forgotten that.
Just now, when I saw you, I imdiately thought of the benefactor from my mories.
At first, I wasn’t certain it was you, but when I saw you touch your nose, I was sure it had to be you!”
He recalled a scene where a figure stood under a massive spotlight, like a deity commanding the land.
Liu Qingyun could not contain the excitent in his heart and blurted out many words in one breath.
Tang Zhong rembered the ti he was chosen as the Crown Prince, it was at the largest clubhouse in Xuanjing City.
Since soone already knew his identity, he no longer wished to deny it, “Your achievents today have been earned through your struggles, and they don’t have much to do with !”
“How can that be, Crown Prince, your thoughts, which I later applied in solving cases, were like divine aid.
I’m certain it was your influence, while I had only picked up a smattering back then.
If I had heard more, the applications would have been even more miraculous,” Liu Qingyun imdiately retorted.
Tang Zhong had nothing more to say, rely offering a slight smile.
“I hope my identity won’t be leaked!”
That was Tang Zhong’s concern; if the people from the Crown Prince’s Club knew his identity, those fellows would probably co to Jianghai City imdiately, a potential disaster.
Liu Qingyun nodded hastily, “Rest assured, I won’t say a word!”
The Crown Prince had been unseen for over a decade, surely there must be a reason.
In Liu Qingyun’s view, given the Crown Prince’s status, the affairs he dealt with must be significant!
“Mhm!” Tang Zhong nodded.
“Then…
then why have you appeared here, Crown Prince?” asked Liu Qingyun.
He was puzzled as to why the Crown Prince would show up at a police station, thinking it incredibly odd; after all, the Crown Prince was the most remarkable person he had ever t!
This matter, Tang Zhong found hard to explain…
Should he say others mistook him for a wanted criminal and detained him?
No!
Absolutely not, wouldn’t that be humiliating?
So, Tang Zhong refused to answer the question, instead he said, “I want to go ho now!”
“Ho, sure, Crown Prince, let take you ho!” Liu Qingyun was quick to respond upon hearing Tang Zhong speak of ho.
This wouldn’t do, he absolutely couldn’t let anyone else know where he lived, or else this person would certainly co to bother him frequently, sothing Tang Zhong did not wish to see.
“No need!” said Tang Zhong.
Liu Qingyun, upon hearing this, understood why; the Crown Prince surely didn’t want anyone to know where he lived.
With the Crown Prince’s status, he truly mustn’t let others find out, or else it would be very troubleso.
Liu Qingyun vaguely rembered that the day after the Crown Prince left ten years ago, the whole business circle of Xuanjing City was abuzz.
Everyone was hoping that the Crown Prince would lead them to carve out a new domain in business.
And since the Crown Prince’s appearance, the Crown Prince’s Club had never held another election, because all mbers felt no one was fit to be the Crown Prince.
Thus, for the past decade, the position of Crown Prince had remained vacant, waiting for his return.
Liu Qingyun was certain that if news of the Crown Prince’s return reached Xuanjing City, Jianghai City might indeed be surrounded!
“Then Crown Prince, I’ll give you my vehicle to go ho!” Liu Qingyun said with a smile.
“No, right now you’re the director, I don’t want a car from your departnt.
Do you have any other vehicle?” Tang Zhong asked.
“No, no, no, I ant borrowing one of my subordinate’s cars, or my…
motorcycle!” When Liu Qingyun ntioned the motorcycle, he beca noticeably bashful.
Because a motorcycle really was hardly presentable.
“Motorbike, ah?
Great, that’s what I want!” Tang Zhong said as soon as he heard it.
Liu Qingyun was taken aback for a mont but quickly his reverence for Tang Zhong surged like the unending tides of a mighty river.
“Truly worthy of being the Crown Prince, without a hint of pretension!”
