Chapter 579: The Appearance of the Last Living Eunuch Yet Again
As the Deputy Chief of the City Public Security Bureau, Feng Kang had quite the power in his hands, yet he never once imagined that he would be cheated by his pig-like wife at home; neither did he expect that it would be revealed by someone in a public place. Even these six or seven policemen he brought were looking at him with bizarre expressions.
Pa…
Driven by anger, Feng Kang slapped the woman and yelled, "SHUT UP! Speak garbage again and I'll arrest you under false accusation and slandering!"
The woman covered her cheek and bellowed, "GOD! A COP IS HITTING SOMEONE! His wife cheats on him and finally got on an accident here. I told him the truth yet he lashes out his anger out of shame? Where is the law? Everyone, tell me, which one is the right and which one is the wrong? Can a cop beat someone like this?"
After Feng Kang slapped her out of shame and anger, he immediately regretted it. In any case, he was the Deputy Chief of the City Public Bureau, and he must never hit someone in this kind of situation in public.
As expected, a commotion immediately exploded from the onlookers around. Each and every one of them revealed indignant expressions. Many even steppeding out to demand for Feng Kang to take responsibility due to his excessive action, whereas some people kept adding fuel to the flames in the back, causing the onlookers to turn angrier.
Tang Xiu was sitting in the car while watching the unfolding changes in front. He then looked at Chen Xiaowan and sighed, "That woman really is ruthless. She arranged all the links required to interlock with each other for the event. Yue Zigang and that fat woman are probably not the only ones to fall on hard times, even this Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau will be implicated."
"Is that policeman who beat that woman is the husband of that fat woman?" Asked Chen Xiaowan in a low voice.
"He should be, or else why would someone from the Public Security Bureau rush over to a traffic accident site and not the traffic policemen?" Tang Xiu chuckled. "That woman who revealed the fact that his wife is cheating on him was obviously arranged by someone else. For that policeman to actually hit someone with such a furious expression can only mean one thing—that he's the unlucky man who got cuckolded by his wife."
Chen Xiaowan nodded. She suddenly looked a bit awkward when she looked at Tang Xiu and said in a low voice, "Can you not say 'cuckolded' anymore? It kinda feels like the words are crowned over my head."
Cough… cough…
Her words made Tang Xiu choke between laughter and tears. He then looked at her in the eyes, as he forced a smile and said, "It's already in the past, Sis Xiaowan. You don't need to brood over it. If the pet dog you liked so much were to bit you, you would just kick it away."
A pet dog?
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiaowan's beautiful face after hearing it.
Standing next to the ambulance, Feng Kang was facing accusations from the numerous onlookers in the surrounding. He wanted to completely understand the truth of the matter as he grabbed the slapped woman's hand and asked in a heavy voice, "I apologize for what I just did, but you are also being held responsible for what you spoke. How can you prove that they have a secret relationship?"
"How can I prove it? Do I even need to prove it?" The woman retorted angrily. "Dozens of people can be witnesses; they saw them in the Wanmao Shopping Center's Carine Gilson lingerie store! If you don't believe me, send your policemen to that store to investigate it."
Feng Kang let the woman go as he turned around and shouted, "Li Hu, go to the Wanmao Shopping Center and investigate what she said. I'll escort them to the hospital and wait for your news there."
"Yes, Sir!"
The young policeman replied and left with two more of his comrades.
As the ambulance left, the accident crew rushed to tow away the flipped over SUV, and the onlookers slowly dispersed. Tang Xiu followed the ambulance to Shanghai Hospital. When he parked in the hospital's parking lot, his face suddenly flickered as he spoke, "Sis Xiaowan, do you want to completely solve the Yue Zigang trouble?"
"Solve it?" Asked Chen Xiaowan, confused.
"Transfer 100 thousand yuan to his account now. He threatened you in the Carine Gilson store back then and many people can be witnesses for it. Supposing that it's true, then he's allegedly responsible for blackmailing and extortion. I have a way to make him rot in prison for 8 to 10 years because of this amount of money."
Chen Xiaowan dumbfoundedly stared at Tang Xiu for a long time, before she shook her head bitterly and said, "Just forget it! He has already received the punishment he deserves. If he gets more… it's kinda makes things way too difficult for him."
Tang Xiu sighed inwardly and kind of regretted saying his idea to her. Chen Xiaowan sometimes showed a tough stance on the surface, but being kind hearted and tenderhearted was one of her major characteristics. In this regard, she was actually very much like his mother, Su Lingyun.
"Alright, let's forget it since you don't have the heart to do it. Let's wait here, I'm sure soon some news will come."
"All right!"
More than an hour later, Tang Xiu released his spiritual sense to monitor the situation and found that the police officers sent to the Wanmao Shopping Center had returned and reported to Feng Kang about the truth of the matter at the entrance to the operating room. Feng Kang was so furious that he kicked open the door of the operating room to beat Yue Zigang, who was about to be treated. About four doctors rushed to stop him, but couldn't do anything. In the end, he unexpectedly grabbed a scalpel and hacked it over on Yue Zigang's crotch.
He's castrating him? Tang Xiu was stupefied.
Chen Xiaowan was distracted, thus she didn't see the changes in Tang Xiu's expression. Then, they got off the car as they walked toward the nearby building. There, many voices entered their ears:
"What a strange thing to happen! That policeman actually beat an injured person who was about to get a surgery. Unknown to all of what the true cause was, I heard a rumor that that policeman has even castrated that injured man."
"Then, he turned into a eunuch?"
"Yeah, he has really turned into a eunuch. I heard it was terrible."
Chen Xiaowan's pace came to a halt as she turned to look at Tang Xiu.
Despite having learned about it with the observation of his spiritual sense, Tang Xiu couldn't reveal this, so he deliberately showed a surprised expression and said in a low voice, "For real?"
After staying silent for a while, Chen Xiaowan suddenly grabbed Tang Xiu's hand with a satisfied smile on her gorgeous face, saying, "I don't want to listen to the following story nor do I want to have a look. Let's just leave!"
"Alright, let's go and have a meal!" Tang Xiu let out a faint smile.
They no longer stayed and left the hospital to head to the Everlasting Feast Hall. On the way there, Tang Xiu made a phone call to send someone to watch the situation in the hospital.
****
At the Everlasting Feast Hall.
Life was very great for Chi Nan recently. It was because Tang Xiu told her to gather a lot of precious medicinal herbs in advance, thus she could exchange it for a large number of cultivation resources from the Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ in Jingmen Island. Therefore, she spent all the money she had in hand to purchase a lot of precious medicinal herbs within a month of time and became the first member to receive massive medicinal pills for cultivation. As a result, her cultivation rapidly progressed and was only a step away from breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Furthermore, the Jingmen Island's Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ also rewarded her with some medicine pills that made her even more happy. Her only regret was that she went broke.
Where do I get money from now?
Chi Nan pondered a bit before deciding to take part in the underground racing. It was a skill she excelled at, and she would use this strong point to make money and exchange it for cultivation resources.
"Umm?"
As she was lazily leaning on the window on the second floor, she suddenly caught sight of Tang Xiu at the entrance of the restaurant along with a beautiful woman at his side.
Boss' affinity with women is truly heaven-defying.
The thought crossed her mind before she strode toward the office outside. In just one minute, she already appeared in front of Tang Xiu.
"Hi, Boss!"
"Chi Nan, give my big sis our VIP card," replied Tang Xiu with a chuckle.
Staring blankly for a short moment, Chi Nan then immediately wore a smiling face and respectfully said, "Boss, the identity of this distinguished guest is…"
"Sis Xiaowan, follow Chi Nan to get your VIP card! I'll order some dishes first and will be waiting for you to come back," said Tang Xiu with a smile.
"Are you the owner of this Everlasting Feast Hall, Tang Xiu?" Asked Chi Nan, taken aback.
"Yeah," said Tang Xiu smilingly.
Inwardly, Chen Xiaowan was a bit shocked. As an executive of a large foreign company, she had been to the Everlasting Feast Hall to dine and was naturally aware of the fact that the Everlasting Feast Hall was one of the most upscale restaurants in Shanghai. Even the most common dishes here would probably cost around 8000 yuan. She herself didn't dare to dine here often despite having a good annual income. Most of the time she patronized the venue only because she was accompanying the top executives of her company.
She didn't know how Tang Xiu could become the owner of the Everlasting Feast Hall, because this restaurant had been in Shanghai for many years already, while Tang Xiu should be just a junior high student at that time.
A few minutes later, after Chen Xiaowan had completed her VIP card processing with Chi Nan, she came to a nice located dining table on the first floor, and then took a seat across Tang Xiu. She then asked him some questions that confused her. Tang Xiu, however, was unwilling to speak out the reason, so he casually made up a reason and smoothly covered up the past events.
During the meal the two talked a lot, such as how the two passed their lives over the years. Of course, it was mainly Chen Xiaowan speaking about her experiences, whereas Tang Xiu acted as a good listener. The Japanese-investment enterprise where she worked at, however, made Tang Xiu slightly surprised, because he had heard about that Japanese investment company before.
"All right, let's not talk about me all the time. It's your turn to talk. Didn't you say you started a business before the CET? What kind of business is it?" Chen Xiaowan asked with a smile.
"Sis Xiaowan, you should have heard of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, right?"
"Of course. This company is currently in the limelight and has infinite potential." Chen Xiaowan nodded and smilingly said, "Also, the cosmetic products of this company is the favorite kind for women. A pity that the sales are limited. I spent two months of my salary to buy it once."
Suddenly, the smile on her face froze, replaced by a disbelieving expression.
Chapter 580: Detaining Someone to Be of Use for Oneself
"If Sis Xiaowan thinks that using the Skin Care Lotion is great for your skin, I'll send you some later," said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Chen Xiaowan nearly jumped up from the chair as she stared at Tang Xiu in surprise. She suddenly felt like she was dreaming. Prior to this, she thought that meeting Tang Xiu again would be an impossibility in this lifetime, thus it was unexpected that some dark hands pulled the strings, creating such a rendezvous for both of them.
In the past, Tang Xiu's life was very bitter. She liked him because he was sensible and adorable, hence she treated him like her younger brother. It was very unexpected that he had already turned over the sky and earth in just four-plus years since the last time she saw him. The Magnificent Tang Corporation was akin to a dark horse with unstoppable momentum in the business world nowadays.
"Are you not lying to me, Tang Xiu?" Asked Chen Xiaowan with a trembling voice.
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Xiu lightly smiled and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who loves bragging, Sis Xiaowan?"
With a hesitant look, Chen Xiaowan shook her head and said, "No, you're not. But… but it's too shocking. How did you achieve it?"
"I just seriously put my mind to it," said Tang Xiu with a chuckle.
Chen Xiaowan snappily rolled her eyes and said with an annoyed expression, "I originally thought that I was very successful, since not only was I able to go to Shanghai, graduated from my university, entered a foreign-investment company and was able to climb up the ladder to the upper management, earning myself a good income and a very comfortable life. But comparing those achievements of mine with yours is simply ridiculous!"
Tang Xiu couldn't help laughing, "Then just don't compare. To think yourself successful is alright in and of itself. Just like those children who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, as they already possess hundreds of millions of fortunes the split second they were born on Earth."
Chen Xiaowan felt relieved and smilingly said, "What you said is reasonable indeed, but I'm still really shocked by your achievements. Anyways, let the meal today be on me, okay? You can treat me back some other day."
Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, "Do you think you can treat me today, Sis Xiaowan?"
"Huh?" Chen Xiaowan stared blankly, before recalling that the owner of this Everlasting Feast Hall was Tang Xiu himself. Even if she were to rush to pay the bill, the cashier would probably not dare to accept her money at all!
"Fine then! The meal will be on you today, and I'll treat you back some other day." Chen Xiaowan showed a defeated expression. She didn't have other ideas at all because of Tang Xiu's identity, because Tang Xiu was still the intelligent and adorable little brother who called her 'big sis' in her eyes, even though the boy himself had already grown up now.
"Anyhow, you said that you're working in a Japanese Company, Sis Xiaowan. What's the name of the company and its business?"
"It's the Brisk Trading Group, a retail company," said Chen Xiaowan smilingly.
After noting the company name in his memory, Tang Xiu then accompanied Chen Xiaowan, finished their dinner, and personally drove her back to her residence in the Bishan Lake Sub-District of Shanghai's Jingning County. Chen Xiaowan originally wanted to invite Tang Xiu upstairs, but Tang Xiu found an excuse to refuse it. Right after he drove away from Bishan Lake Sub-District, he received a call from a member of the Everlasting Feast Hall, who informed him what happened in Shanghai Hospital.
"You're saying that… Feng Kang is being suspended and investigated by the Public Security Bureau?" Asked Tang Xiu through the Bluetooth earphone.
"That's right. What he did was too excessive and seriously affected the reputation of the Public Security system as a whole. Hence, he was suspended by the higher-ups and a team from the Internal Affairs has already started investigated him." A low and deep voice replied.
"I see!"
Tang Xiu hung up the call with a wry smile on his face. Speaking about it, this Feng Kang could be considered a true man with misfortune and bad luck. He had firmly secured a high position in the Public Security Bureau—someone with real power, yet his fat and ugly wife went out of track to cheat him behind his back. Him being cheated was needless to say, but he unexpectedly lost his sanity out of anger, leading him to castrate Yue Zigang in the hospital's operating room.
After giving it a thought for a while, Tang Xiu then called his grandfather.
"Haha, how come you remember to call me, Xiu'er? Your Third Grandpa and I were just talking about you." Tang Guosheng's hearty laughter came out from the phone.
"You're in a great mood now that our family has passed through the crisis and the Yao Family have fallen aren't you, Grandpa?" Replied Tang Xiu with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I indeed feel great!" Said Tang Guosheng with a chuckle.
"Since you're in a good mood, then can I ask you a favor? I want to protect someone," said Tang Xiu.
"You want to protect someone?" Tang Guosheng was surprised. "Who is the person and what's his identity?"
Tang Xiu explained about Feng Kang's affairs and finally said, "Grandpa, there's some things I wanna do in Shanghai and having someone in the Public Security Bureau would help to deal with things very conveniently later. Feng Kang is now currently facing an imminent disaster, so helping him at this time will make it easier to recruit him and secure his usefulness later."
Tang Guosheng pondered for a moment and then said, "No problem, I'll use my contacts immediately. All his troubles will be solved tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"There's no hurry. It's best to wait for two days!" Said Tang Xiu.
Tang Guosheng immediately understood Tang Xiu's meaning. As of now, Feng Kang was in a moment of crisis, thus he wouldn't feel very grateful if they immediately helped him. If they came to help when he was at the end of the rope and was suffering from mental torture, however, he would definitely feel very grateful and would be of great use to his grandson.
"I see. Let him enjoy it for two days, then."

Shanghai, Kangqiao Villa Complex.
Today, Ni Jie was in a very good mood. Thought she got slapped by a madwoman when she went shopping, what she did had vented out all the vexed and bottled up anger inside her.
"What are you giggling about, daughter?"
Ni Penggang, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and was about to begin reading a financial magazine, suddenly saw his daughter came home while giggling, as he immediately asked her with a smile.
With a smiling face, Ni Jie replied, "It's nothing, Dad. I just feel very good after tidying up a crazy dog today. Anyways, Dad, have you heard about Feng Kang—the Deputy Chief of the City Public Security Bureau?"
Ni Penggang was stunned for a second before nodding, "I know him. He's a very promising Deputy Chief. I heard that he's someone under the Old Man Wei, and maybe he will be able to hold up the office."
"He will never be able to obtain the tenure, since I just pulled him down today after employing some schemes." Ni Jie laughed. "I just got the news that he has been suspended and is currently being investigated."
"How so? What's going on?" asked Ni Penggang in surprise as he suddenly straightened up.
Ni Jie then told him the whole thing that happened today, finally saying, "If he wants to blame someone, he can blame his shameless, arrogant, and unscrupulous wife who acted as if nobody on Earth could beat her. Just take a look at my face, the palm print on it has yet to completely vanish."
With a deep frown, Ni Penggang nodded and said, "Now that you have them tidied up, then so be it! it's just a pity that Old Man Wei's plan will be affected, though."
"Dad, Uncle Wei's matters are beyond my control. But you yourself have taught me to not provoke others if they don't act untoward to me, and to pay them back ten times more if they do." Ni Jie happily said. "Feng Kang's wife slapped me, thus I had pay the favor back. But that woman called Chen Xiaowan is very good and I like her very much."
"Since you said that she's not bad, then pick her to be your aide to help you manage the business. I hope she has the ability." Ni Penggang laughed.
"Will do!" Replied Ni Jie with a laugh.

Bluestar Villa Complex.
After Tang Xiu came back, he learned that Dai Xinye had actually come, making Tang Xiu pleasantly surprised. They had agreed that she would come to Shanghai after the National Day holiday, though she eventually postponed it for a month due to something happening in her family.
"Has the matter in your family been solved?" Asked Tang Xiu to Dai Xinyue, who acted conscientiously with Kang Xiu next to her.
"Yeah, everything's been solved." Dai Xinyue smiled.
"Pick a room you like on the first floor for you to stay! Also, I often have things to tend to, so you can read and study by yourself when I'm away. I'll teach you whenever I have time to do so. You can expect to have your medical expertise progress rapidly by the New Year, and then I'll take you to a hospital for an internship to practice giving medical services."
With eyes lit up, Dai Xinyue respectfully said, "I'll listen to all your arrangements, Master."
Tang Xiu then turned his head to look at Kang Xia and said, "Have you had dinner? What are your plans for tonight?"
"I already had a dinner. Also, I have a promise with Xinyue to go out shopping! Though she came to Shanghai before, she didn't have time to stroll here."
"All right, off you go then! I will go out too later, and I'm afraid I'll be back quite late," said Tang Xiu.
"Where are you going?" Asked Kang Xia.
"There's an old acquaintance from Hong Kong delivering some goods that I need to check. And I also need to see them to discuss something," answered Tang Xiu.
"Tend to your matter, then! We'll go out after you." Kang Xia nodded after hearing it.
Tang Xiu went to the study room on the second floor and subconsciously moved to release the subdued fierce beast to feed it. Just when he came to the corner and realized that the array had been lifted, he suddenly remembered that he had already left that fierce beast in the Resting Cemetery Island several days ago.
"I really am too busy!"
Tang Xiu then took a bath and returned to the study room to begin drawing the design blueprint for Clam Island and Resting Cemetery Island; the area for the herb plantation in Clam Island, in particular. After all, each medicinal herb had different properties and the plan by which to plant any medicinal herb must properly be taken into consideration in advance.
The blueprint drawing for Clam Island was not even half-finished when Tang Xiu received a call. He was informed that the medicinal herbs sent by Li Juren had been brought at express speed and now was heading to the Everlasting Feast Hall. He was also full of expectations for the medicinal herbs sent by Li Juren.
After returning to the Everlasting Feast Hall again, Tang Xiu was just conversing with Chi Nan when a container truck arrived at the Everlasting Feast Hall under the escort of four SUVs. The five vehicles then entered the Everlasting Feast Hall's backyard under the guidance of its staff.
"Hello, Mr. Tang. My Boss ordered me to deliver you these medicinal herbs; all of them are inside the truck. This is the list, please have a look at it," said an elegant and refined middle-aged man who recognized Tang Xiu at first sight.
Tang Xiu took the list from him and a smile appeared on his handsome face after reading it, as he then said, "You can leave the container truck here. Find yourself a hotel to stay at, and then come early tomorrow to pick it up."
