Chapter 446: Giving You a Chance to Become a Disciple
"He's so arrogant."
"This guy is truly detestable."
"Right, if Tang Rao isn't taken care of, our Yan Nation..."
"Enough!" Big Brother suddenly turned around, his gaze frightening.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths and lowered their heads in silence. When Big Brother got angry, they didn't dare to chatter anymore.
"I don't care who's behind this, but within one day, the person must come forward. Otherwise, don't blame me for exercising my authority. Things won't be so comfortable then!" Big Brother looked at the crowd.
He knew very well that only someone with great power could use Super Technology Weapons to attack Tang Rao and promote Liu Yanhe to the deputy head position.
He didn't want to fall out with them, but Tang Rao had spoken to that extent. If he didn't give Tang Rao an explanation, there would indeed be serious troubles.
Tang Rao was definitely a man of his word. If there was no news within one day, he would surely withdraw all the technological knowledge in the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms.
Then, the research on Super Technology Weapons would suffer devastating blows.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it'd be like returning to the Stone Age.
Hearing Big Brother's words, everyone's faces changed repeatedly.
"Disperse, all of you. If nobody steps forward by tomorrow morning, then I'm sorry, but it's going to be unpleasant," Big Brother snorted coldly.
Minutes later, everyone left, leaving only Big Brother and Han Wanli.
"Do you really intend to do this?" After a while, Han Wanli asked.
Big Brother nodded, though his face didn't look very good.
"Actually, how should I put this, Tang Rao is indeed..."
"Old Han, no need to say more. I have made up my mind. Tang Rao may be overbearing, but indeed, some people do need to be knocked down a peg," Big Brother said with a cold face.
"Alright." Han Wanli nodded and said no more.
...
"What's wrong, Tang Rao? You look like everyone owes you money." At Sui City University, Yun Xi asked Tang Rao with a smile. It was rare to see him with such an expression; he must have been disgusted by someone.
"It's the annoying business with Special Ninth Department. Don't mention it, it's just upsetting," Tang Rao waved his hand, "We are on a date right now, we should talk about something related to love."
"What's related to love?" Yun Xi asked.
"For example, when will you hold hands with me, kiss me, maybe get a little room—" Tang Rao said seriously.
Of course, his seriousness only earned him goosebumps from Yun Xi.
"Who's on a date with you? We are friends. I'm just keeping you company because I think you look pitiable," said Yun Xi.
"Yeah, friends! But friends can still have a loving hug or a loving kiss, right?" Tang Rao always had a way to spin things around.
Yun Xi had a speechless expression. Was Tang Rao nuts? All he ever thought about was this stuff; what was he filling his head with?
"If you keep this up, I'm leaving," Yun Xi threatened him.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop. Let's have a proper conversation and foster our relationship."
"Who wants to foster a relationship with you, idiot..."
...
When he was with Yun Xi, Tang Rao always felt time flew by too quickly, and before he knew it, it was already evening.
For many wealthy heirs, evening was definitely the perfect time for picking up girls and playing around.
Tang Rao was also considered a wealthy heir, but clearly, Yun Xi wasn't going to go with him to get a room.
Thus, he could only take her back to the university.
Just as they reached the university entrance, Tang Rao and Yun Xi were stopped.
"Can't you just... not be so annoying!" Tang Rao saw the person blocking the way with a face of helplessness; it was still that guy Sun Yan.
This time he didn't kneel, but gave them a defiant stare, just looking intently at Tang Rao and Yun Xi, without saying a word.
"Let's go." Tang Rao took hold of Yun Xi and bypassed Sun Yan, heading straight into the school.
Sun Yan did not stop them but turned around and followed immediately.
"Are you planning to follow us to the end?" Tang Rao turned back after half a minute.
"Yes, you told me to think of another way, so for the time being, this is the way I thought of." Sun Yan said, "If you don't accept me, I'll just keep following, all the way until the end of time, until you agree."
"Do you really think you can keep up with me?" Tang Rao scoffed contemptuously, thinking what a ridiculous plan, utterly unreliable.
"I'm not saying I'll follow you; I'm following Senior Yun Xi. As long as she's always at the school, I'll follow wherever she goes." Sun Yan said.
"Damn!" Tang Rao cursed, "You little brat, you've become sneaky, huh!"
"You forced me into this." Sun Yan replied earnestly.
Tang Rao felt a bit helpless. If Sun Yan was going to hang on to Yun Xi, he really had no way out. Yun Xi would surely lose her patience and end up coming to him, and then the headache would still be his.
He needed to think of a way to send this kid off.
"You want to become a disciple, right?" Tang Rao asked.
"Yes!" Sun Yan's eyes lit up. Was Tang Rao ready to accept him?
"To become my disciple is possible, but you need to help me with something first; accomplish it, and I'll consider it." Tang Rao said.
"Tell me." Sun Yan immediately responded.
Tang Rao's lips curled into a smirk, thinking the kid was still too green to play games with him.
Tang Rao took out his phone, scrolled to the picture of the blonde guy who had used Super Technology Weapons to blast the car, and showed Sun Yan the photo.
"Bring this person to me." Tang Rao said.
Sun Yan was taken aback for a moment, "There's no name or other information?"
"Nonsense, if there were, would I need you to do it? Besides, if it was easy, do you think it would earn you a chance? Don't even think about it." Tang Rao huffed.
He didn't even share with Sun Yan the information about the Great Joy Society, so searching for him would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
It would probably take ten or eight years to find him.
"This person is in Tiandu; go on, I await your good news." Tang Rao said.
Sun Yan bit his lip, perhaps sensing that Tang Rao might be tricking him, but he had no choice but to agree.
Because not agreeing meant no chance at all.
Sun Yan left swiftly, and it wasn't until he had disappeared that Tang Rao breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, luckily I was smart. If this kid really followed Yun Xi around all day long, she'd definitely make a fuss with him.
"Tang Rao, the blonde guy you asked Sun Yan to find, isn't someone who doesn't exist, right?" Yun Xi asked.
"How could he not exist? There definitely is such a person. Whether he's still alive, I don't know, heh, let him search." Tang Rao grinned.
If they found him, great, they could ask some questions. If not, no big deal.
After all, such low-level operatives hardly ever knew anything significant.
Besides, he had already applied pressure on Brother Yi, and the results should come by tomorrow.
"Alright, as long as he doesn't follow me, it's fine." Yun Xi shrugged her shoulders. Having Sun Yan constantly trailing her would indeed be incredibly annoying.
...
Leaving Sui City University, Tang Rao went straight home, thinking a good night snack and a rest was more important than anything.
The next day, Tang Rao was awakened by the ringtone of his phone.
"Who is it?" Tang Rao answered the call in a groggy voice.
"Come over, we have the results." The voice of Brother Yi came through.
