Chapter 186: Chapter 161: Precious Gift, Comes Uninvited

"Cheers!"

Tang Tang was not a person to hold back words, yet still felt many words, many emotions echoing in her heart, some of which she felt uncomfortable not expressing.

If it had been a few years earlier, when she first started working, she would have definitely pestered Zhou Ping’an, asking incessantly how he managed to do all of this.

A situation that seemed almost certain to result in a great loss, he turned around single-handedly.

Silently, he solved many problems.

Problems looked like a tangled mess, impossible to cut through, confused even when unraveled.

Rather than teasing them out slowly, reacting to each new development, it was better to find the root of the problem and solve it directly.

If the problem itself could not be solved, then solve the person creating the problem.

"You’ve finally graduated, a student surpassing the master."

She thought back to six months ago, when Zhou Ping’an had just graduated and come to work, full of naivety.

Back then, he was cautiously flattering the old-timers in the workplace, fearful of making mistakes in his work.

He was the first one to enter the office every day, helped Xiao Qin clean, and even poured tea for himself and Wu Shi and others.

With a smile always on his face, he was just a sunny young man.

’When exactly did the smile on his face gradually diminish, replaced by more composure, even an air of authority?’

’Now, even Wu Shi and others felt somewhat nervous around their junior brother, not daring to joke around as casually.’

It wasn’t because Zhou Ping’an had been promoted or become an official, but because he himself possessed something truly awe-inspiring.

In fact, when Zhou Ping’an was promoted to leader of the Third Group, with his title lifted to Inspector, and his salary raised to eighteen thousand, not a single person among the nearly forty members of the Third Group felt anything amiss.

This wasn’t simply superficial obedience with secret defiance. It was genuine recognition, and even behind his back, no one spoke ill of him.

According to Tang Tang’s understanding, such a situation was very rare in the workplace, regardless of the industry.

She knew that even when she was promoted to leader of the Third Group, there were still many who muttered behind her back, accusing her of using her deep background to pull strings for a promotion.

Even more people would say she had the support of certain powerful individuals, which was why she could traverse the path in a few short years that took others ten or twenty.

Thinking of all this.

Tang Tang couldn’t help feeling that time flies, even developing an erroneous sense of becoming old.

’Tsk tsk! I’m not old yet. I’m only twenty-five.’

After clinking glasses with Zhou Ping’an, Tang Tang took a sip of the silky smooth red wine, and a flush appeared on her face— not out of shyness, but excitement.

"Guess what I’ve brought you?"

Tang Tang said jubilantly.

"That very powerful gun? Sister, did you get your hands on another one to give me?"

Zhou Ping’an glanced at the orange-yellow handbag Tang Tang had placed on the chair, guessing uncertainly.

"Guess again..."

Tang Tang was momentarily stunned, thinking that her junior brother wanted a "Palm Thunder." Next time, she would have to get one for him. According to what she had read, men often say they don’t want something, but in reality, they deeply desire it.

"So, are you giving me a watch?"

Zhou Ping’an asked again uncertainly.

Every time his sister wanted to give him something, she couldn’t hide her emotions well. There was no need for Mental Induction; he could usually guess what it was.

But he was reluctant to use Mental Induction, a skill invasive of others’ privacy, on friends close to him; it was a strange kind of persistence.

Yet, Zhou Ping’an had always been consistent with this belief.

What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others. He found this saying to be very true, and that interactions between people, especially, should be genuine.

His deceased father, though he hadn’t taught him many useful things, had, in fact, taught him many valuable lessons.

By his daily actions, he set many examples for Zhou Ping’an to follow.

"You’re so silly."

Unable to hold back, Tang Tang giggled and pulled a document from her handbag, "A Search Warrant, ah. This time, even if that rat hides in its hole, we’ll be able to dig it out."

Events from three years ago.

They weren’t just a thorn in Zhou Ping’an’s side.

They were for Tang Tang, too.

At that time, she had watched the team leader lead more than twenty team members to assist.

She had also seen their bodies being carried back.

Some of them had even had a good relationship with her, even helping her a lot when she had just started working.

After that day, familiar and unfamiliar faces alike would no longer appear before her.

It took her well over a month.

To dispel the shadows in Tang Tang’s heart.

She even doubted whether she had chosen the wrong career path.

The masterminds behind the scene were the Poisonous Snake Society, and yet they were not the Poisonous Snake Society.

Now, it was basically clear that the power of the Poisonous Snake Society was actually nothing to speak of.

The reason for their continued existence was that they were actually the claws and teeth of some individuals.

Just a facade.

But even such ostensible pawns were beyond her reach, a sad commentary on the uniform she wore.

Not to mention the hidden mastermind behind them.

Now with an opportunity before her, she did not want to let it slide.

"You really did it, sister, you’re incredible..."

Zhou Ping’an’s face was "surprised."

Feigning great astonishment.

He snatched the Search Warrant, examining it closely.

Indeed, it was authorization to enter the Southern City Laboratory, a strict order to investigate whether there was any illegal genetic modification taking place.

The back also had the signatures and official seals of the Government Office and the Police Security Bureau.

With this search warrant, the Southern City Laboratory, no matter how big its background, had to obediently accept the search and, moreover, carry out rectification.

As for who violated the rules and what was illegal, the possibilities for manipulation inside were enormous.

"Fake, too fake, even the happiness you feign doesn’t seem genuine. Who said you were suited for acting in movies? Even for action films, you need acting skills, and being expressionless certainly won’t make you popular."

Tang Tang comfortably sipped on a glass of red wine, enjoying Zhou Ping’an’s performance and pouring herself a drink without concern.

"With the search warrant, everything’s above board; no matter how well Taihe Pharmaceuticals hides, we can dig them out. However, we still need to be wary of them becoming desperate."

"Don’t worry, they won’t be able to scale the wall," Tang Tang responded confidently.

Zhou Ping’an grinned, folding the search warrant neatly and placing it in his jacket pocket.

He didn’t mind Tang Tang’s accusations about his fake acting one bit.

Acting skill or not, wasn’t the point just to amuse you?

If I really started acting, I could sell you off and still have you count the money for me... believe it or not...

Of course, saying this out loud would be self-defeating, and Zhou Ping’an wasn’t that thick-skinned. He sincerely raised his glass, toasting, "I haven’t thanked you yet, Senior Sister, for activating my account. That must have taken quite some effort, right?

You know, everyone has to have a hobby. I don’t care much for other things, but being honored in public and receiving cheers, that’s something I indeed love doing."

How should one put it, half true, half false.

The activation of the account was, in fact, more important to Zhou Ping’an than the search warrant.

A day and a half might not be enough to deal with Young Master Chen of the Chen Family hiding in the lab.

It’s not particularly critical to remove that "cancer."

After all, the enemy isn’t going anywhere, and you can always find a way.

But without enough Mind Wish Power Silk Threads to boost, the speed of his own strength increase would visibly slow down.

Having been used to feasting on rich foods and now having to settle for tofu and greens...

How could anyone bear that?

However, to say that he liked live broadcasting and videos for the fame and to enjoy the adulation was a lie.

Whether he was cheered on or not was irrelevant.

What mattered was that the incense offerings should not diminish.

Seeing Zhou Ping’an thank her so earnestly made Tang Tang feel a bit embarrassed: "It wasn’t much trouble, just a phone call. Despite National Tianyin’s financial and influential might, at the end of the day, it’s still a business conglomerate...

In some respects, what they are actually most afraid of is provoking the Police Security, because if we find an excuse to crack down on violations and publicize it, let alone the undercover losses, believe it or not, it can crash their stock price to the limit down..."

Tang Tang spoke with raised eyebrows, her voice aggressive.

She had almost gone through with it.

If it weren’t for the other side’s good attitude and their promise to increase promotion as soon as Zhou Ping’an’s live streams and videos went online, she would have found it difficult to swallow this slight.

However, these were things she did herself.

There was no need to tell her junior brother.

Let him think that he got the site’s attention and support solely because of his personal charm.

This way, he would feel even more accomplished.

...

They were deep in conversation.

The door to the private room was knocked on.

Zhou Ping’an frowned almost imperceptibly for a moment.

But his expression quickly returned to one of nonchalance.

Perhaps Tang Tang would think it was a waiter coming to serve dishes.

But with Zhou Ping’an’s powerful spiritual power, he had already clearly sensed that the person standing outside the door. the violent aggressiveness they carried...

Even though it was well concealed, even more so than Tan Shaoyang’s Silver Bear Gene, he could still perceive it effortlessly.

This person, he had seen once before.

"Come in," Tang Tang called out.

The door was gently pushed open.

A young man wearing a floral shirt with red and yellow dyed hair, carrying a bottle of wine and flashing a wide eight-toothed smile, said, "I heard Miss Tang’s laughter and thought I was mistaken, but it really is you."

He walked over to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down, pouring himself a glass of wine: "Hope you don’t mind me crashing, and congratulations to Miss Tang on your promotion to Deputy Captain.

Oh wait, Captain isn’t far off either, it won’t be long before we have to call you Captain Tang."

"Zhao Sanhuan, I don’t recall being that familiar with you," Tang Tang said coldly, not even lifting her glass.

She felt this person came with ill intentions, like an owl invading a home.

And he had no tact at all.

Didn’t he see that she was dining with her junior brother, enjoying a two-person world? To barge in and share a table was utterly rude.

"This Sanhuan joke, you can’t seem to get over it, can you?

My brother wronged you, but I haven’t. Why must you push people thousands of miles away? Or should I call you sister-in-law..."

"You dare."

Tang Tang was furious.

She splashed the wine in her cup all over his face: "These are baseless matters. You’re not welcome here, get lost."

This was the first time Zhou Ping’an had seen Tang Tang so angry.

He couldn’t help but size up the man in the floral shirt from head to toe.

Then he understood that although the man appeared to be provoking Tang Tang, his attention was actually mostly on himself.

In other words, he was here for Zhou Ping’an.
