Chapter 599: Cut to the Wrong Scene
Seeing Tang Rao's appearance, Natasha hesitated before speaking.
"Right, Xiao Hei, go work on that, I have some things to take care of outside." Eventually, Natasha didn't reveal anything useful and changed the subject before leaving the yard.
Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders, a strange smile on his lips.
Natasha was an interesting person.
In her, Tang Rao saw more of a normal, gentle woman's aura. The identity of the president of the Giant Merchant Star Four didn't quite fit with the impression she gave others.
"Xiao Hei benefactor, you're up!" To the right of Tang Rao, the door opened, and Li Shengxuan walked out.
Under the sunlight, Li Shengxuan seemed to be glowing.
Her skin was too white, and her eyes were tinged with gold, giving off an incredibly divine aura.
Thinking about how he took advantage of her unconsciousness to touch her yesterday, he felt a sense of guilt. But, if possible, he really wanted to feel that guilt more.
"I just heard Sister Natasha's voice, did she leave?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"Yeah, she went out to take care of some business." Tang Rao nodded; after a barbecue and a couple of beers, Li Shengxuan and Natasha had gotten quite familiar with each other.
"Is that so, Xiao Hei benefactor, is there anything Sheng Xuan can do for you?" Li Shengxuan nodded, her tone turning serious as she spoke.
"Want something to do?" Tang Rao looked at Li Shengxuan.
"I'll follow Xiao Hei benefactor's orders and will try my best," said Li Shengxuan, clenching her fists in promise.
Hearing Li Shengxuan's words, Tang Rao couldn't help but chuckle, "Since that's the case, I actually do have something for you to do."
"Please tell, Xiao Hei benefactor." Li Shengxuan seemed somewhat happy.
"Please watch Natasha; I suspect someone has been trying to harm her recently. Follow her and make sure she does not notice you. If someone attempts to strike, you need to deal with it in secret, without revealing your identity," Tang Rao instructed.
Li Shengxuan was momentarily stunned, then nodded.
"Don't worry, Xiao Hei benefactor, Sheng Xuan will take care of it right away," Li Shengxuan bowed to Tang Rao and then dashed off.
"Yan Wei, how's it going?" After Li Shengxuan left, Tang Rao opened up Illusion City.
"Just as you said, her background is unclear, I've looked into it a lot, and no one knows who Li Shengxuan is. Speaking of which, she's even more mysterious than Natasha. Tang Rao, what have you been up to recently? Why are all these people whose backgrounds can't be traced? Don't dig your own grave, man," Yan Wei said.
He was truly worried for Tang Rao. People whose backgrounds couldn't be traced were either too ordinary to be noticed or harbored big secrets with ill intentions.
"Switch the feed to my end," said Tang Rao.
"Alright, have a look yourself," Yan Wei responded, and soon Tang Rao was met with the sight of two dazzling white bodies accompanied by moans.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Damn, swapped to the wrong feed..." yelled Yan Wei and quickly switched to the correct feed for Tang Rao.
"Yan Wei, does Li Li know about this?" Tang Rao asked.
Yan Wei: "..."
"How about this, let me take you on a tour of the brothels in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, I promise I won't tell Li Li," Tang Rao offered.
"Scram!" cursed Yan Wei, "What I watch in my own time is none of your business, go handle your own affairs."
"Alright then, I caught a glimpse just now, and it looked pretty good, remember to send me the series number later," Tang Rao said.
Slap!
Yan Wei abruptly ended the call.
Tang Rao grinned wildly with laughter, not expecting that Yan Wei, that piece of trash, would have such a hobby.
But then again, they're all normal men, and Li Li is pregnant, so it's somewhat forgivable for Yan Wei to watch some videos and DIY.
If Yan Wei really went out and messed around, now that would be a problem.
"Damn, I can actually find her..." Tang Rao watched the surveillance footage in front of him, surprised.
Indeed, Li Shengxuan was already tailing Natasha, at a distance of about a hundred meters. It seems that Li Shengxuan is not as harmless as she appears.
One must know, Natasha is a Half-step Great Perfection master. Li Shengxuan managed to follow her effortlessly, and it appears that Natasha has no clue she's being followed.
Although Tang Rao had installed plenty of mini surveillance devices on Giant Merchant Star, after all, it's a planet. It might not be big, but it's impossible to achieve complete surveillance coverage in such a short period of time.
So, Tang Rao quickly lost the visuals of Natasha and Li Shengxuan.
This was also why he had Li Shengxuan tail Natasha in the first place — to prevent such a situation.
Moreover, by having Li Shengxuan track her, firstly, Tang Rao wanted to see what Natasha was doing every day and who she was meeting with; secondly, Tang Rao genuinely felt that Natasha might be in danger — he couldn't explain why, it was just a weird intuition.
Giant Merchant Star has four council chairpersons, three old men and one young woman. Tang Rao couldn't help but feel something was off about this setup — it would be strange if nothing happened.
Since there was no more footage, there was no point for Tang Rao to continue watching. He could just wait for Li Shengxuan to come back and ask her.
"Natasha, old man..." Just as Tang Rao was about to pull out a chair to sunbathe and eat chips, a voice suddenly came in.
At the doorway, an old man had rushed in following the voice.
It was the impulsive Third Chairperson.
Tang Rao was startled, dammit, he had just cautioned Natasha when she left, and now someone had come.
"Who are you?" the Third Chairperson frowned and pointed at Tang Rao.
"Who are you?" Tang Rao retorted, "This is my house, what are you doing here?"
"Your house?" The Third Chairperson's brows furrowed deeper, his white beard and eyebrows twitching, giving him a rather fierce appearance.
"Isn't Natasha living here?" the Third Chairperson asked.
"Yeah, she's my girlfriend. She went out, what do you want with her?" Tang Rao spoke casually.
"I'm looking for her... What! Your girlfriend? Natasha is your woman?!!" The Third Chairperson's voice rose by several octaves. Fortunately, this place was far from the bustling city, otherwise, who knows how many people would have heard.
"Yeah, you seem so curious, who the hell are you?" Tang Rao pretended not to know, acted very innocent, acted the part of a gigolo.
"Scoundrel! Scoundrel!" The Third Chairperson seemed extremely angry, "Who am I? I am Zhao Chongxiao, who am I! Do you even deserve to know who I am?"
Zhao Chongxiao, Tang Rao silently noted down the name.
Of the four chairpersons, he now knew the names of two.
"So, what do you really want to do?" Tang Rao spread his hands, "If you're looking for Natasha, you might as well come back later."
"Come back later? No, I've suddenly decided, I'm not looking for Natasha anymore, I'm looking for you!" Zhao Chongxiao suddenly pointed at Tang Rao, his eyes filled with a fierce intent to kill.
