Chapter 851 - 849: Liu Laowu’s Whereabouts
"Liu Laowu, around thirty-five to forty years old." Chen Tianlong relayed the information he got from Liu Ting to Shen Yan.
About ten minutes later, Shen Yan returned a call to Chen Tianlong, saying that Liu Laowu is still alive. Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong asked Liu Ting to investigate further.
Liu Ting, being an advanced hacker, found it easy to dig up current information on Liu Laowu. As long as he’s confirmed to be alive, it’s manageable.
Back at the villa, Liu Ting fiddled with her laptop for a while and finally found recent information on Liu Laowu. From his last transaction at a commercial bank, it seems he’s in Ice City.
"Ice City?" Seeing the familiar words, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered the Ice Hall.
He hadn’t been to the Ice Hall for almost a year. By rights, the Ice Hall Master’s Cold Poison should be acting up soon. Could Bing Ruxue really be coming to South Sea City to find him?
It would definitely cause a lot of trouble. So, Chen Tianlong took this opportunity to go to Ice City to resolve matters.
"Yes, Ice City, but it’s a long journey. It takes two days to go and return, so I don’t recommend going now. Plus, it seems like the finals are coming up. If you go now and do poorly, won’t your homeroom teacher come after you?" Liu Ting said with a bitter smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong nodded. Liu Ting was right; not to mention, Chen Tianlong promised to help English teacher Shen Yan, so he couldn’t just run off.
This weekend passed peacefully; Shi Xiaohong and his two companions from the Celestial Pill Sect were recuperating in seclusion and didn’t bother Chen Tianlong anymore. The Black Alliance’s Wu Chi had needles stuck all over his body, and after Xu Kan informed him about the Powerful Qi on them, he dared not remove them, fleeing back to the Black Alliance to find experts.
Since the Tang Family became one of the four major families in South Sea, their business boomed, like a book suddenly featured by an editor, immensely popular.
Tang Bing, his good buddy, hadn’t been around for a while.
Ultimately, it was because the Tang Family urgently needed hands and was very busy. So Tang Bing went back to help right after school, even his weekends were occupied by his dad, leaving no time.
Now that the Tang Family’s finances have stabilized, Tang Bing is starting to have free time.
Monday afternoon, Chen Tianlong’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw it was Tang Bing. He hadn’t seen this guy in ages and indeed missed him a bit.
"Hey, boss, are you free tonight? Bring your lady, let’s go sing and drink together." Tang Bing was very excited as soon as he dialed.
"Haha, of course. I thought you disappeared; now you’ve found me." Chen Tianlong teased on purpose.
"Oh, don’t even mention it, so sorry! My family has been incredibly busy lately, no choice, helping out every day. My friends say I went missing, I’m so frustrated. All right, let’s set it. I’ll call you tonight, be sure to come, and bring Yang Fan and the guys. Let’s have fun together."
Tang Bing is such a character, always planning activities on every call.
Chen Tianlong shook his head but felt happy in his heart. Living carefree like this with Tang Bing might not be a bad thing.
"Chen Tianlong, what makes you so happy?"
It was break time; Wu Mengting turned around to see Chen Tianlong smiling happily and asked curiously.
"Haha, that guy Tang Bing said he’s inviting us to sing tonight. Do you want to come? He brought his girlfriend." Chen Tianlong replied.
"Oh, he brought his girlfriend? Then I definitely want to go. Why don’t you invite Zhao Lei and Yang Fan too? Last time I saw Yang Fan’s girlfriend, she looked so cute. I’d love to meet her." Wu Mengting, knowing Tang Bing’s girlfriend was going, couldn’t possibly not go, being Chen Tianlong’s official girlfriend.
It’s time for Chen Tianlong’s few subordinates to confirm who’s his official girlfriend so that no one calls any girl near Chen Tianlong their sister-in-law.
"Haha, okay, I’ll go and talk to them." Chen Tianlong said, stood up, and walked over to Zhao Lei and Yang Fan, who had switched seats and were now talking face-to-face.
Chen Tianlong walked over, casually planted himself on Zhao Lei’s desk, frightening the two.
Startled, they looked up to see Chen Tianlong sitting there, looking at them with crossed legs.
"Whoa, boss, a rare guest!" Zhao Lei shouted.
Everyone nearby quieted down, but seeing it was Chen Tianlong, they quickly turned back to mind their business.
This was the school’s tough guy; provoke him, and you’re doomed.
Those like Hao Jian, Liu Wenbin, Mo Shaoyun, all were scared stiff by Chen Tianlong, not to mention the smaller fry.
"Zhao Lei, could you lower your voice? We’re in a classroom." Chen Tianlong said helplessly, rolled his eyes, and continued, "Okay, tonight Tang Bing is treating us to singing and drinking, so bring your girlfriends along."
"Awesome, really? Young Master Tang is finally splurging, definitely coming." Zhao Lei was the first to promise.
"Boss, I need to ask Xiaohui; don’t know if she’s free tonight." Yang Fan hesitated, having heard Fang Xiaohui is busy studying for exams lately.
"Yang Fan, are you whipped? Everyone’s bringing their girlfriends, if Fang Xiaohui refuses to come, tell her not to come ever again. I won’t acknowledge her as my sister-in-law." Zhao Lei ruthlessly criticized.
"...."
Chen Tianlong and Yang Fan were speechless for a moment.
"Don’t worry, she’ll definitely come. If she doesn’t, I’ll... I’ll have the boss step in!" Zhao Lei continued.
"..."
Now only Chen Tianlong was speechless; Zhao Lei was a troublemaker. If she didn’t want to come, it’s none of his business.
"Alright, I’ll try to persuade her to come." Yang Fan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Come on; it’s not about trying; she has to come. Sometimes you have to be assertive with girlfriends, can’t let them be spoiled. Look at me, Qiuju is already obedient; whatever I ask, she immediately does!"
"Ew, stop bragging. Last time at the school gate, what did I see? Who was being dragged by the ear, kneeling, and clinging to the leg?" Yang Fan couldn’t help but reveal.
"What? Impossible, you must be mistaken; that absolutely was not me." Zhao Lei argued.
"Alright, alright, let’s see how it goes. If it’s really inconvenient, don’t force it; just try to come if you can. We brothers haven’t gathered in a while, so let’s cherish the chance. Once you all head to college, it’ll be tough to meet again."
Chen Tianlong interrupted their quarrel, stood up from the desk, and returned to his seat.
"What happened?" Wu Mengting asked anxiously.
"All set!" Chen Tianlong smiled slightly.
