The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"""

We can't keep being passive; if we did, we're bound to be exposed sooner or later.

"Indeed, your eyes do speak volumes." Zhao Bingchuan nodded approvingly; Tang Rao's remarks seemed to have genuinely pleased him.

"My dad and my mom are both scientists," Zhao Xuerui said.

Scientists? Tang Rao was slightly taken aback, holy shit, that I had not anticipated.

No wonder Zhao Xuerui is so outstanding; it's only natural that her parents aren't ordinary. Turns out they're truly top-tier intellectuals; I guessed right after all.

"Do you know about super technology?" Zhao Bingchuan looked at Tang Rao and asked.

"I know a bit," Tang Rao nodded. Super technology is a term for the fusion of Blue Star's technology with that of the Seventy-two Domains.

All technology born from the combination of the two is referred to as super technology.

"My aunt and I, we research super technology," said Zhao Bingchuan.

Tang Rao was momentarily startled. The two of them research super technology?

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tang Rao exclaimed. "Uncle and aunt are so impressive. I've heard that the vast majority of super technology comes from the Special Ninth Department; you don't work there, do you?"

Both Zhao Bingchuan and his wife were caught off guard.

"Let's eat," Zhao's mother immediately said.

Zhao Bingchuan also coughed, attempting to gloss over the moment.

However, Tang Rao could tell from their expressions that the two were most likely employed at the Special Ninth Research Institute.

After all is said and done, turns out we're one big family...

"Xiao Rao, is it...?" After a long pause, Zhao Bingchuan finally spoke up.

"Mhm!" Tang Rao nodded.

"The fact that your aunt and I are super technology researchers is something we hope you can keep confidential. Such matters are, after all, of great interest, and we'd rather not have our lives disrupted," said Zhao Bingchuan politely.

In reality, being super technology researchers was no big deal; the key point was that this kid had mentioned the Special Ninth Department right off the bat.

That topic was quite sensitive.

"I'll keep it under wraps," Tang Rao said with a smile.

To be honest, Zhao Bingchuan didn't fully trust Tang Rao.

After all, this was their first meeting.

Seeing the look on Zhao Bingchuan's face, Tang Rao probably knew what he was thinking; he still wasn't at ease.

"Xiao Rao, could you... leave us your home address? And it would be best if you could give us some information on your parents. Don't overthink it, we're just being cautious," Zhao's mother also said. If Tang Rao were to leak this, the implications could be quite significant.

"Sure, I live at 101 West District, Tiandu, three floors underground," Tang Rao said, grinning.

Zhao Xuerui looked at Tang Rao in surprise; what kind of address was he reporting?

Who lives three floors underground...

But at that moment, Zhao Bingchuan and his wife's eyes widened in shock.

With a creak, they stood up from their seats.

"Click!" The next moment, Zhao Bingchuan pulled out a silver gun from his coat and pointed it straight at Tang Rao.

"Who are you!" Zhao Bingchuan glared fiercely at Tang Rao. "Xuerui, step to the side, quickly."

Zhao Xuerui was completely stunned; everything had been fine just moments ago. How come... how is it that guns were drawn? Wait, why does her dad have a gun?

None of this made sense.

Right then, Zhao Bingchuan couldn't help but bristle, because the address '101 West District, Tiandu underground three floors' was the location of the Special Ninth Department's headquarters.

How this young man before him knew of it, he had no idea, but he was certain of one thing: this youngster was no simple character.

"Uncle Zhao, don't get excited, I haven't finished yet. I live over there, my name is Tang Rao," Tang Rao explained.

"""

Tang Rao?

Tang Rao!!

Zhao Bingchuan and his wife were stunned; the name was all too familiar.

Of course, the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department, practically all of the Special Ninth Department's operations were arranged and commanded by Tang Rao. In theory, he was the highest leader of the Special Ninth Department. The couple had heard this name countless times.

"It's impossible... How could you be so young..." Zhao Bingchuan shook his head.

"You can call Big Eyes to confirm, uh... Yan Zhengda." Tang Rao spoke, accustomed to calling him Big Eyes that he hadn't had a moment to correct himself.

Zhao Bingchuan and his wife exchanged a glance.

"Make the call." Zhao Bingchuan looked at his wife and said.

Zhao's mother immediately picked up her mobile phone and dialed Yan Zhengda's cell phone.

"Turn on the speakerphone." Tang Rao said.

Zhao's mother didn't say much and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Dr. Lu Qing, is there something you need?" Yan Zhengda's voice came through the phone.

"Big Eyes, it's me..." Tang Rao called out.

"Tang Rao? Hmm? Why is it Dr. Lu Qing's phone? What are you doing?" Yan Zhengda quickly asked.

"What does it have to do with you what I'm doing? How could you not publicize my handsome photo internally? Look, even my own people don't recognize me, and I still have to get you to confirm!" Tang Rao said.

"Isn't it because you said you didn't want it to be publicized?" Yan Zhengda yelled back.

"Utter nonsense, I just said the photos you guys took were unflattering. I meant you should Photoshop them to look better before publishing!" Tang Rao said.

Yan Zhengda: "..."

"Forget it, I don't have time to argue with you, that's all, I'm busy."

"Yeah, you're busy. Dr. Lu Qing's daughter is quite lovely! You must be busy at her house now, huh!" Yan Zhengda laughed.

"Get lost!"

Zhao Bingchuan and Lu Qing were both agape, still struggling to process the situation.

The young man standing before them was actually the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department, Tang Rao...

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Lu, it's a misunderstanding!" Tang Rao said.

"Zhao Bingchuan, put your gun down, are you out of your mind?" Lu Qing was the first to snap out of it, snatching the firearm from Zhao Bingchuan's hand and tossing it into the nearby cabinet.

Zhao Bingchuan's face turned awkward.

"Tang... Instructor Tang, about this..."

"Uncle Zhao, it's better if you still call me Xiao Rao. I didn't expect you two to be Super Technology Researchers of the Special Ninth Department," Tang Rao said with a shrug.

"Ahh!!!" A sharp scream suddenly echoed from the side.

"What on earth is going on!" Zhao Xuerui shouted, feeling as if she was the only one left in the dark.

Tang Rao looked towards Zhao Xuerui, helplessly spread his hands: "It's quite simple. Your dad and mom are the Super Technology Researchers of the Special Ninth Department, and I'm the Chief Instructor, sort of the manager of the Special Ninth Department."

"You? That's impossible! Aren't you the Eldest Young Master of Huang Dynasty Enterprises?" Zhao Xuerui couldn't believe it.

"That's right, I'm the Eldest Young Master of Huang Dynasty Enterprises, and I'm quite wealthy. At the same time, I'm also very talented. There's no conflict there, right?!" Tang Rao said.

Zhao Xuerui: "..."

And here she was thinking of getting Tang Rao to go to school to study, when in fact, he had already reached the peak of his life.

The Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department, one couldn't possibly reach such a position without formidable intelligence and means.

"Uncle Zhao, may I have a word with you in private?" Tang Rao looked at Zhao Bingchuan, seeing as they had run into each other, it was the perfect time to ask something.

"Sure! Let's go to my study." Zhao Bingchuan naturally agreed.
