Chapter 904: Chapter 914: Fired! (Part 1)

"Welcome, Instructor Tang!"

Gu Jin stepped forward and knelt directly on the ground.

Watching this scene, Liu Zuo’s expression instantly turned ugly. What... what the hell is going on? Why is Captain Gu kneeling to that person?

"Brother Liu, could we have made a mistake?" whispered the person next to Liu Zuo.

"Bullshit! They must have mistaken him for someone else. That guy came here by train. He can’t possibly be anyone important!" Liu Zuo shouted.

"But Captain Gu called him Instructor Tang!"

"That’s because Captain Gu’s blind... no, he mistook the person!" Liu Zuo justified hastily, feeling uneasy. If this man were someone important, thinking about what he had just done made Liu Zuo’s heart sink. He could only hope Gu Jin had made a mistake. If this man was powerful, Liu Zuo would be finished. He stared anxiously ahead.

"Stand up," Tang Zhong said as he recognized Gu Jin and motioned with his hand.

"Thank you, Instructor Tang!" Gu Jin said excitedly.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Zhong asked as he looked at Gu Jin.

"After I left Dragon Hidden, I got assigned to the branch. Of course, it was all thanks to your guidance, Instructor Tang," Gu Jin replied with a smile.

"Not bad," Tang Zhong said.

Tang Zhong had always been somewhat appreciative of Gu Jin. This kid could endure hardship and was grounded; his future achievements wouldn’t be minor.

Standing off to the side, Liu Zuo and his group were completely dumbfounded by this scene. Why did this feel like an elder speaking to a junior?

What... what the hell was going on?

This was way too absurd.

Liu Zuo’s mind was in turmoil. He thought it best to go and figure out what was happening, so he stepped forward with a grin. "Captain Gu!"

Gu Jin, who was speaking with Tang Zhong, heard the voice nearby and his expression immediately turned ice-cold. He said to Tang Zhong, "Instructor, I have something to handle."

Then he turned, staring at Liu Zuo with an extremely frosty gaze. The smile on his face abruptly vanished. "Liu Zuo, are you aware of your crime?"

"I... I don’t know!" Liu Zuo panicked and shook his head frantically.

"Return to Dragon Group and pack up. You’re dismissed from Dragon Group and will never be employed again!" Gu Jin declared icily.

Earlier, Liu Zuo’s words had been nothing short of outrageous.

What was even more intolerable was his disrespect toward Instructor Tang.

Liu Zuo’s face turned pale in an instant. "Captain Gu... What are you talking about? Why are you kicking me out of Dragon Group? What did I do wrong? I..."

But Gu Jin no longer paid any attention to him.

Panicking, Liu Zuo shouted at Gu Jin. He was nothing but a hedonistic brat who had joined Dragon Group solely because of his father’s connections. He was there to loaf around and live off the public dime. Now that he was being expelled, how could he tolerate it? He immediately roared, "Gu Jin, on what grounds are you treating me this way? My father is Liu Longgang!"

"You’d better ask your father yourself," Gu Jin said coldly.

Liu Zuo was flustered. He simply couldn’t believe anyone had the authority to expel him from Dragon Group. But feeling uneasy, he decided he should check anyway. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Dad!"

"What’s wrong, my dear son?" a middle-aged man’s voice came from the other side.

"Dad, I’m about to be dismissed! You have to help me!" Liu Zuo cried anxiously.

"What?" The tone of the middle-aged man immediately changed. "Who dares dismiss my son?"

"Gu Jin!" Liu Zuo said confidently.

Hearing his father’s words gave him a boost in confidence.

"Are you talking about that Gu Jin who graduated from Dragon Hidden? What right does he have?" Liu Longgang yelled.

Hearing this, Liu Zuo felt even more reassured. "I just confronted someone, and then he claimed I made a mistake and decided to dismiss me. Dad, you have to help me!"

"Don’t worry, leave it to your father. I’ll handle it. What nonsense, being targeted? So what if you confronted him? What can he possibly do?" Liu Longgang cursed.

After hanging up, his father’s assurance made Liu Zuo feel even more cocky. With a smug look, he said to Gu Jin, "Gu Jin, I just talked to my dad. He told me that nothing will happen, so now what?"

Since Gu Jin had already targeted him, Liu Zuo stopped showing him any respect and directly addressed him by name.

"It’s simple. Your father and you together—get lost from Dragon Group!" Gu Jin responded coldly.

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Liu Zuo clenched his fists. "Let me tell you, when my father, Liu Longgang, was posted to the Dragon Group branch, you were still an unknown grunt fresh out of Dragon Hidden. You’re just a soldier from Dragon Hidden. You haven’t even become someone competent in the branch yet. Who do you think you are?"

After a pause, Liu Zuo pointed a finger at Gu Jin and said, "One last word for you—your stunt here is like slapping someone’s good will in the face."

Gu Jin ignored Liu Zuo and instead turned to Tang Zhong with respect. "Instructor Tang, it was my failure. I’ve let you endure injustice here."

"It’s no matter," Tang Zhong said with a wave of his hand.

To Tang Zhong, someone like Liu Zuo wasn’t even worth a moment’s thought.

Liu Zuo, still self-satisfied, sneered. How could a man who came by train have any real clout?

Just then, the phone rang again. Liu Zuo, grinning, picked it up. Seeing it was his father, he said gleefully, "Didn’t expect my dad to have sorted this out so quickly. Haha!"

He smirked at Gu Jin, waving his phone. "See this? This time, you’re done for!"

Then he pressed the answer button.

In an instant, an explosive roar came through the phone, shattering any sense of triumph.

"You idiot! Tell me, who the hell did you offend?"

Liu Zuo froze. His father, Liu Longgang, had never spoken to him this way.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Liu Zuo stammered.

"You little bastard, I ought to beat you to death!" Liu Longgang yelled furiously.

Liu Zuo had never imagined his father would threaten to hit him. He had been pampered his entire life, never having been scolded or disciplined.

"Dad, what’s going on?"

"Who did you offend? You’d better get down on your knees and apologize immediately! If not, you’re no longer my son!" Liu Longgang roared.

Liu Zuo was dumbfounded. Holding the phone, he glanced at the composed and unbothered Tang Zhong. He started to realize something was dreadfully wrong.

"The person I offended was just some guy who came by train. What’s there to fear?" Liu Zuo protested.

"He is Tang Zhong..." Liu Longgang said gravely.

"I know he’s called Tang Zhong!" Liu Zuo replied.

"Tang... Tang Zhong!" Liu Zuo stammered, utterly terrified.

It had never crossed his mind that things would come to this.

"I... I..." Liu Zuo began to mumble incoherently. From the start, he had thought Tang Zhong’s name sounded familiar, but because the man had taken a train, he hadn’t paid much attention. Now, hearing his father’s reaction, he was completely shell-shocked.

Turning to look at Tang Zhong in the distance, Liu Zuo began trembling uncontrollably.

The very man he had always idolized.

Now that he realized who Tang Zhong truly was, Liu Zuo understood everything.

He turned and knelt on the ground, shouting toward Tang Zhong, "Instructor Tang... please... forgive me. It was my fault. I was so wrong!"

Tang Zhong didn’t even spare him a glance and waved his hand lightly.

He then turned and left with Gu Jin.

With just one simple gesture, the outcome was sealed. Soon, the news came from the branch.

"Liu Longgang and Liu Zuo are both expelled from Dragon Group!"
