Chapter 852 - 850: Meijia’s Request
At this moment, the class bell rang, and standing at the classroom door was none other than the English teacher, Shen Yan. Chen Tianlong could tell at a glance that she didn’t look well, as if something unpleasant had happened.
Regarding Shen Yan, in Chen Tianlong’s understanding, she was a master who didn’t want to reveal her identity. As for which faction she belonged to, Chen Tianlong was too curious.
Because the truth often disappoints, however, Chen Tianlong could be sure she wasn’t from the Black Alliance, and that was enough.
After all, people from the Black Alliance were rather arrogant and many appeared in the South Sea City, yet Shen Yan remained indifferent, indicating she didn’t know those people.
Moreover, Chen Tianlong felt that Shen Yan’s strength was far greater than that. Even the Spirit Beast Rabbit could be easily handled by him, so it probably wasn’t that simple. But why did she want to hide it from him; even after her identity was exposed, she still suppressed her strength, not letting him know her final identity?
Chen Tianlong really wanted to know, yet he didn’t want to force her to tell.
When Mo Jing was taken to the Capital City that time, Chen Tianlong later thought about it carefully: they were clearly doing tutoring together and no one should have known about it, yet that day Shen Yan just happened to say she had something to do, which made Chen Tianlong a bit suspicious.
"Good afternoon, classmates!"
"Good afternoon, teacher."
The customary polite expressions for class time filled the classroom. At this time, Shen Yan casually glanced in Chen Tianlong’s direction. Just one look, and Chen Tianlong could already see Shen Yan’s troubled thoughts.
This woman made him feel affection, but since she wasn’t willing to tell him anything, Chen Tianlong didn’t know how to treat her.
The only thing they shared was that she still maintained her lively side, enjoyed her life, and brought knowledge to students eager to learn.
The class passed without any incidents, but Chen Tianlong repeatedly caught Shen Yan secretly looking at him, a look only he could probably notice.
Mo Shaoyun continued to nap at the last row of the class, not engaging with anyone.
The classroom’s fan occasionally squeaked, symbolizing the slow arrival of hot weather, and they were about to go on summer vacation and leave school to return home.
"Ahem, classmates, the final exams start next Wednesday. I hope everyone prepares well, does well, and then has a happy summer vacation. Let’s all do our best." Shen Yan suddenly said as the class was ending.
And her gaze fell intentionally or unintentionally onto Chen Tianlong, as if to say that to get the best benefits, he should hurry to squeeze into the top five in the school.
Chen Tianlong understood and smiled, making an OK gesture.
Shen Yan couldn’t help blushing when she saw Chen Tianlong’s gesture, but with so many classmates below the stage, how could she dare to show anything, quickly turning to write "exam focus" on the blackboard in a scribbling manner.
Then, she highlighted some textbook content, saying these might appear in the fill-in-the-blank questions.
After class ended, Shen Yan walked out of the classroom, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of Chen Tianlong. Lin Wushuang had just gone to the bathroom, otherwise Ouyang Meijia wouldn’t have dared to approach Chen Tianlong for a chat.
"Meijia, is there something you need?" Chen Tianlong sensed someone approaching and standing still in front of him. He suddenly looked up and saw Ouyang Meijia staring at him.
Her expression was still so affectionate, making one feel a certain fondness.
"Chen Tianlong, with summer vacation coming up, what are your plans? Why not come over to our place, and I’ll take you on a tour around Ice City?" Ouyang Meijia felt a little flustered and disheartened at the thought of being bored alone after returning for the summer vacation.
Indeed, at Ouyang Manor, there were only a few maids who mainly did their duties and rarely went out to play with her, the young lady. As for her brother, he was always out chasing girls and wouldn’t take her along to play.
This made Ouyang Meijia feel lonely. If possible, she would rather not have a summer vacation.
"Summer vacation, huh, I’m planning to go to Ice City, so we’ll see how it goes. If possible, I’ll visit you, but I might bring a few more people." Chen Tianlong wasn’t going to Ice City just for fun but to find Liu Laowu, and he had to bring Liu Ting, and even Wu Mengting.
Once they found Liu Laowu, Chen Tianlong planned to investigate Wu Mengting’s true identity with her.
"That’s... no problem at all. Bringing Mengting and the others will make it even livelier." Ouyang Meijia hesitated for a moment because she wanted to be with Chen Tianlong alone to see if anything could happen.
But then again, he already had a fiancée, so how could he go play with her alone, let alone let anything happen? Although a bit disappointed, this was an undeniable fact she couldn’t change and just had to accept.
"Alright, then it’s settled. We’ll get in touch by then." Chen Tianlong said before standing up, ready to go to the restroom.
Celestial Wolf Gang headquarters.
After Tang Xiao was brought back, he was severely scolded by Old Bai, but he still refused to repent. Now he was gathering Hao Shuai and other high-ranking members to discuss a plan.
"Brothers, our Celestial Wolf Gang is down and out right now, from a powerful lineup to just a few of us. At the core, it’s all because of that Chen Tianlong kid. We have to seize the opportunity to launch a final counterattack and take him out." Tang Xiao said fiercely.
"Father-in-law, rest assured. Leave this to me."
Hao Shuai already learned some information about Chen Tianlong, and people from the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall were preparing to cause him trouble. The death of Senior Brother Cheng Hao had enraged everyone at Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall, and they wished they could tear Chen Tianlong apart. However, considering Chen Tianlong’s powerful presence in South Sea City, it was difficult to find a chance.
So, Hao Shuai was waiting for an opportunity.
"Good, Hao Shuai, I have high hopes for you. You are indeed a good son-in-law." Tang Xiao laughed heartily, praising him.
After the meeting was dismissed, Hao Shuai returned to his room, and just as he sat down, the phone rang. He frowned when he saw the screen because the caller wasn’t someone else, but his brother Hao Jian.
To be exact, it was Xu Dihu.
"Hey, Tianlong, what’s up?" Hao Jian asked softly after closing the door.
"Brother, I heard the Celestial Wolf Gang can’t hold on much longer. Is it true?" Indeed, it was Hao Jian speaking.
"Well, sort of, it’s not looking great. Ever since the fall of Baiyun Group, Tang Xiao’s father, Bai Yunpiao, was extremely angry and cut off multiple channels of the Celestial Wolf Gang and sold them, transferring funds to that little girl Li Bingshuang as compensation. Now the Celestial Wolf Gang is financially paralyzed, out of means." Hao Shuai said, somewhat helpless.
Such family businesses are like this, selling whenever they want, ignoring the company’s operational status altogether.
For Hao Shuai, staying with the Celestial Wolf Gang had no appeal anymore. It was a dead pond with no benefits to discuss.
