The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Alright, Sun Yan, take him and leave." Tang Rao waved his hand and said.

"Wait, I've finished the task, can you take me as your disciple now?" Sun Yan wasn't interested in dealing with Jin Mao but was looking at Tang Rao instead.

"Yes, you are qualified. However, I seem to have said yesterday that if you completed this task, I would give you a chance to become my disciple. Just a chance, do not misunderstand." Tang Rao shrugged as he spoke.

Clearly, Sun Yan was prepared for this, so he was not too surprised by Tang Rao's words.

"Since it's a chance, there must be some conditions, right?" Sun Yan said.

Tang Rao nodded, "Alright, I am not someone who goes back on his words. Since I said I would give it, I'll give you the opportunity."

With that, Tang Rao threw out a book.

"Read it carefully. If you gain any insight within a month, come find me. If you can't understand it, it means you're not suited to be my disciple, Tang Rao. From then on, do not come to bother me anymore, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Tang Rao said coldly.

Sun Yan glanced down at the book in his hand, the title leaving him stunned for quite a while.

"Brother Lao Hei Explains Heavenly Dao"...

To be honest, that title was really something.

"Any problems?" Tang Rao asked.

"No." Sun Yan shook his head, then quickly put the book away.

"Let's go." Tang Rao nodded, didn't pay any more attention to Sun Yan, tore open a Space Rift, and then took a step through, disappearing in an instant.

Seeing the eerie disappearance of Tang Rao, Jin Mao was scared and shivered.

If he had known this man was so fierce, he wouldn't have agreed to do this deadly task for two million.

As for Sun Yan, he stared intensely at the gradually fading Space Rift, his eyes blazing, his fists clenched tightly.

"You'll definitely take me, one day I will be as powerful as you," Sun Yan muttered softly, then turned and left directly.

As for Jin Mao, Sun Yan wouldn't bother about him, let him do whatever he wants.

In fact, by bringing him from Tiandu to Sui City through connections, he had already saved his life.

…

Through the Space Rift, Tang Rao almost instantly arrived at the Special Ninth Department, and then found Brother One.

A group of people were sitting in the conference room, all quiet.

Seeing Tang Rao appear, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Tang Rao, take a seat," Brother One said to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao glanced at Brother One, pulled up a stool, and sat somewhat on the outskirts.

"I'm considered an outsider to the Special Ninth Department now, it's not quite appropriate for me to sit with you," Tang Rao said with a smile, just to disgust you first.

As for how upset you feel about that, I really don't care.

With the attitude of the officials among you, it's time for a young man like me to properly discipline you.

"Tang Rao, I've resolved the matter, take a look at this document," Brother One passed a folder to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao did not refuse, took it in his hands and started flipping through.

Soon after, Tang Rao started to chuckle, but it was all sneering.

The document had information about some officials being dealt with, but Tang Rao found it amusing since none of the handled officials had the qualifications to access the X2 type, nor the capability to promote Liu Yanhe to the deputy position.

"This is just an interim solution, I'll continue the purge later," one brother supplemented, "I can only do so much in one day."

Tang Rao nodded.

"If that's the case, I'll stoke the flames," Tang Rao muttered and then took out an X2 type handheld weapon from the Space Ring and threw it directly onto the conference table.

A dull thud, as if striking everyone's hearts.

"This is an X2 type handheld weapon, the most advanced research achievement of the Special Ninth Research Institute. The number of people present who can access this item does not exceed the number of fingers on one hand. I'm curious, why would someone use this to attack me," Tang Rao coldly stated.

Everyone gasped in shock; Tang Rao was determined to escalate the situation thoroughly.

"To be precise, I am a person from the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains," Tang Rao slightly leaned back and suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Tang Rao, unsure of what he was about to say.

"The Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains are different from this place; there are no laws, very few restrictions. I climbed out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, to reach where I am today, I believe in one principle: if someone provokes me, I will torment them until death because you never know what damage they could do to you later if you spared them. So, the point is, whoever did this should honestly stand up, don't wait for me to personally seek you out. At that time, I won't be as amicable as now," Tang Rao's eyes swept across everyone present.

Besides a few individuals, almost no one dared to meet Tang Rao's gaze.

"Nobody wants to talk?" Seeing that still no one spoke, Tang Rao stood up and walked a few steps to the side before stopping.

He leaned slightly forward, placing his hands on the shoulders of the person in front of him.

"Doctor Jin, since no one is speaking up, perhaps you could shed some light," Tang Rao's head leaned close to Jin Shengqiao's face, his eyes squinting.

Jin Shengqiao's body tensed, with large beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"What? As the chief person responsible for the X2 type handheld weapon, don't you have something to say?" Tang Rao continued.

"I... I don't know, maybe someone stole it..." Jin Shengqiao stuttered.

"Stolen? Well, that's one explanation. But, I'd like to ask you, do you think it was the work of an outsider? Or is it more likely an inside job?" Tang Rao smirked slightly, a faint laughter causing everyone's goosebumps.

"I really... I really don't know," Jin Shengqiao continued to shake his head.

"Alright then, since that's the case, I won't ask you anymore," Tang Rao released Jin Shengqiao's shoulders.

Just as Jin Shengqiao breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a hand pressing down on his head.

"Since you're not speaking, I'll just have a look myself. However, probing memories might have side effects; you might end up with nothing, or you could become an idiot. As far as I know, the chance of becoming an idiot probably exceeds ninety percent," Tang Rao's voice reached Jin Shengqiao's ears.

Jin Shengqiao's face drastically changed.

He frantically tried to pull away Tang Rao's hand, but alas, how could a normal person pry away Tang Rao's hand.

"There's still time to speak," Tang Rao's voice rose again.

Jin Shengqiao remained silent, but obviously, he was wavering.

His eyes conveyed hatred and despair.

"I can't! I can't do it! I don't want to become an idiot, I don't want to!" Jin Shengqiao screamed loudly, seemingly completely breaking down.

But breaking down was good; once he crumbled, he would reveal everything.

"Tang Rao, I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" Jin Shengqiao shouted at Tang Rao, "You have to protect me..."

Pfft!

Before Jin Shengqiao could finish his sentence, a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out, followed by his body suddenly swelling.

A violent energy burst forth from Jin Shengqiao's body.
