Chapter 243: Chapter 2 New Ability and Daily Life_2

Not to mention that Tang Zheng, who was wearing Firefly Protective Clothing, was not bothered by those ants, as his physical constitution was four times stronger than that of ordinary people. As for the possible legal constraints, he had already started thinking about how to solve them.

However, the first to arrive was not Laowu’s underling, but a red Maserati. When Mu Nianqi, dressed casually and exuding an amazing aura, stepped out of the car, everyone subconsciously closed their mouths.

Mu Nianqi, without even bothering to glance at these people, walked directly towards Tang Zheng’s room.

"Are you interested in having dinner together?" Looking at the annoying man who was busy stuffing clothes into his suitcase, an amused smile emerged on the corners of her mouth. Originally, she was just warning him not to leak the photos. She didn’t expect to hook a big fish.

Seeing Mu Nianqi standing at the door showing no intention of coming in, Tang Zheng wrinkled his brow. "I’ve said it, I’ve forgotten about the photo thing. Don’t come to bother me anymore."

"That’s not why I’m here," Mu Nianqi looked at Tang Zheng’s puzzled eyes and candidly replied. "You are not going to make me say it here, are you?"

Before Tang Zheng could speak, the sound of high heels approached. He recognized the noise. It was made by An Xiuru. Then, two women’s chatting was heard outside the door.

Three minutes later, Tang Zheng, carrying the suitcase, appeared at the door.

"Little Tang, are you leaving? Are you going back to university or finding another house?" An Xiuru, dressed in professional clothing, exuded an air of a powerful woman. As soon as Tang Zheng came out, she naturally walked up, attempting to carry the suitcase from him.

Mu Nianqi squinted slightly, observing the man and woman with interest.

The students were shocked. They whispered amongst themselves, unable to comprehend the situation. They obviously recognized Mu Nianqi, the newly appointed and vigorous student union president. They didn’t know her relationship with the man, but they all heard her invite him to dinner earlier. Then there was the woman in OL uniform and black stockings. She seemed very concerned about this alumnus.

Seeing two beauties, the male students were all jealous. But when they saw two minivans driving into the campus, a group of young men holding sticks jumped out, walked towards Laowu, and then pointed at Tang Zheng, some male students suddenly couldn’t wait to see the alumnus who stood by two beauties to get into trouble.

"What’s going on?" An Xiuru frowned and glanced at the damaged wall inside the house before pulling out her phone. Without asking anything from Tang Zheng, she directly dialed a number.

"Director Zhang, I saw a group fight in the Heng’an District on Pingan Road. What kind of job are you guys doing?" An Xiuru’s words were incredibly assertive, without any hint of pleading. A man’s laugh came from the phone, not bothered by An Xiuru’s tone at all.

"You’re not hurt, are you?" Putting away her phone, An Xiuru examined Tang Zheng from top to bottom, unmoved by Tang Zheng’s refusal to give her the suitcase.

"No." Tang Zheng was, however, embarrassed. This sort of concern was hard for him to handle because he couldn’t reciprocate. "Sister An."

"Okay, it’s too troublesome to live back on campus. Why not move to Jing Shan Villa District? I have a property there that’s just sitting empty. It would be nice to have someone living there," An Xiuru interrupted Tang Zheng. "It’ll add some life to the place."

Before Tang Zheng could answer, he clearly felt a shift in the crowd’s expression—the surprise, the disapproval, and, most of all, the unhidden envy.

"Well, I’m now being seen as a gigolo," Tang Zheng chuckled bitterly. However, he didn’t explain. Right now, he was more than happy to have those hooligans attack him and ease up the atmosphere.

However, Laowu was not stupid. Seeing two women driving luxury cars to see Tang Zheng, he stopped his underlings from causing Tang Zheng any trouble. Although he was unable to figure out the origins of this young man, he didn’t want to get in trouble over a broken wall that’s worth less than two hundred yuan. Well, maybe himself getting punched was a factor too.

Laowu rubbed his chin, wondering if he should go over and start a conversation, when the sound of police cars entered the street outside the Heng’an District. It was soon followed by the bang of car doors shutting, then a group of policemen ran in, saying nothing before wrestling control of the hooligans.

"Chief Zhou, what’s going on?" Confused, Laowu immediately went over upon seeing Chief Zhou, who was in charge of this area, and offered a cigarette with a friendly smile, hoping to pull these hooligans out of this tangle.

"Laowu, the security environment here is no good. Our Director Zhang exclaimed that we need to deal with it." Chief Zhou declined the offered cigarette and took on a bureaucratic demeanor, but still hinted through his words that something was up to Laowu.

"Director Zhang?" Laowu naturally knew the big names of the few heads of the Municipal Bureau, but they rarely had the time to deal with a small fry like him. Then he suddenly recalled the phone call from the woman in the uniform, "Could it really be?"

At that moment, cold sweat broke out on Laowu’s forehead. He was thankful he hadn’t acted rashly; whether he could continue running his inn in the future was now a big question.

"I have to go. Watch yourself. If there’s another incident like this, stop running this inn." Chief Zhou also noticed the two luxury cars, but didn’t inquire about them. He left, subduing the group of hooligans.

Hurrying, Laowu ran into the room, found Tang Zheng’s deposit slip, grabbed another five hundred yuan and ran back out, breathless as he made his way to Tang Zheng.

"I apologize, I didn’t know what happened earlier. The wall collapsed, it’s my fault. This money is for compensation." Laowu said, offering a friendly smile. There was none of his earlier arrogance.

"What about our compensation?" The beaten couple evidently didn’t understand the situation, thinking they could get compensation. Little did they know that it wasn’t them that Laowu was afraid of.

Laowu didn’t bother with them, his attention fixated on Tang Zheng.

"I’m sorry, I actually caused the damage." Tang Zheng opened his shoulder bag, intending to pay. Inside was the hundred thousand yuan he had prepared for food and tent purchases.

"Are you slapping me in the face here? It’s all my fault, my mistake. You didn’t even have anything heavy, how could you have caused the wall to collapse?" Laowu regretted it immensely, assuming Tang Zheng wasn’t going to accept it; and looking at the dozens of crisp new stacks of bills inside Tang Zheng’s package, he wasn’t causing a fuss over just five hundred yuan, was he? Laowu felt that he was even underselling with the five hundred yuan, they were too little for someone like him.

"Let’s just let it go. You can go now." Mu Nianqi waved her hand, dismissing Laowu. She then turned her attention to An Xiuru and Tang Zheng, suggesting, "Let’s go eat."

"Let’s get in the car." An Xiuru didn’t want to stay there, forcefully taking Tang Zheng’s hand. "What have you been doing these past few days? I’ve been looking for you several times, but there was no one around. I even took sick leave for you, you could at least tell me what you’re up to, if something were to happen to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your parents?"

Upon hearing these words, Mu Nianqi’s eyes lit up suddenly, as she thought of all the questions that had puzzled her for over two years.

Not wanting to draw attention, Tang Zheng felt compelled to get into the car and head towards Jingshan Villa. The place wasn’t crowded and the environment was quiet, very suitable for someone like him who disappears for days at a time. However, he did suspect that An Xiuru would visit frequently from now on.

Mu Nianqi didn’t pressure Tang Zheng and politely excused herself after dinner. Living in Jingshan Villa, it would be much easier for her to monitor Tang Zheng. Plus, after a few roundabout instances, she could tell that Tang Zheng was being forced to stay silent about certain things, often changing the topic.

An Xiuru, on the other hand, slowed down her pursuit of Tang Zheng, fearing that she might provoke a backlash if she pushed him too hard. However, she was also considering what kind of excuse she could use to move in under the same roof with Tang Zheng.

"The military commander is essentially a powerful meat shield, but it’s a pity that he can’t be used in combination with gravity suppression, otherwise, he would be too powerful." Tang Zheng, hiding in the bedroom, began to ponder how to best maximize the value of the military commander. But the blink of an eye and three days had passed, and he was forced to enter the Trojan Room to join the game once again.
