Chapter 4239 A Lifetime of Shame
We were all stunned when we heard Tang Shangning say that.
He arrived at the perfect time, blocking us all at the door just as we were getting ready to go home.
If he had arrived two minutes later, everyone would have left.
"Uncle Tang, what's the matter that's so urgent? We just had a fight a few days ago, and our injuries haven't fully healed yet," I said quickly.
"Let's not talk about that. I received this mission suddenly, it's an emergency. Since you're all here, I, Tang, can only borrow you all. Come with me." Tang Shangning waved his hand.
Just then, I heard the roar of a car engine outside the yard. When I went to the gate, I saw a minibus driving by.
Goodness, everything's ready.
Since we've been cornered here by Tang Shangning, we have no choice but to follow him.
At this moment, the slovenly Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and he caught up with Tang Shangning, saying with a smile, "Uncle Tang, you see... this mission is so urgent, it must be no small matter. Our injuries haven't fully healed yet, and we haven't had any big jobs lately. Shouldn't you give us a little something?"
Tang Shangning paused, turned around and glanced at the disheveled Taoist priest: "I've already done my part. Without me, who would have gotten Senior Zhang Qing'an's household registration? This is the Yanjing area, and not just anyone can get a household registration here. I put in a lot of effort. He's your good buddy. Now that Uncle Tang has shown his sincerity, it's time for you to give me, Old Tang, a little something in return."
I knew Tang Shangning hadn't helped me for nothing. He could live off me for the rest of my life for helping me transfer to a top-tier elementary school when I was little. He brings it up all the time, just to make me grateful. I've helped him so much, and I still haven't paid back that debt.
Well, Tang Shangning is a real pain in the neck, constantly exploiting us old guys.
Xiao Wang had already opened the car door for Tang Shangning. Just as Tang Shangning was about to get in, I grabbed his arm and said, "Uncle Tang, what's going on this time? Give us a heads-up."
"There's no time. I'll tell you the details when we get there. Right now, the most important thing is to get to the scene as quickly as possible. If we're even a little late, many people might die." With that, Tang Shangning closed the car door and told Xiao Wang to start the car.
Our group all got on that minibus. Apart from the driver, everyone on the minibus was one of our people.
As soon as we got in the car, the driver started the engine and quickly drove away.
Just then, a dark shadow flew over the car window and landed on my head; it was none other than Eighth Master.
"You guys, be careful. This mission might be very dangerous. Old Zhang asked me to give you a heads-up," Eighth Master said very seriously.
"Eighth Master, do you know what this is about? Could it be that you're coming with us this time?" I asked excitedly.
"Neither your Grandpa Zhang nor I can go. We have to stay here to guard Yanbei. I don't know the specifics, I've only heard a little bit of news. You'll find out what's going on when you get there. Be sure to protect yourselves." After saying this, Eighth Master disappeared in a flash.
After Eighth Master left, we all gathered together.
"The one who could make the Special Investigation Team make such a big fuss must be Yi Guan Dao. Ever since Yi Guan Dao caused trouble at the Taoist Academy last time, they've been quiet for a while. I wonder what kind of trouble they've gotten themselves into this time." The slovenly Taoist priest looked at us.
"Do you think it could be Yuan Xiaomei? She's a remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect, and her power is constantly growing. If she weren't Yi Guandao, Yuan Xiaomei would also be capable of causing quite a stir," Brother Gu said.
“Yuan Xiaomei’s strength hasn’t reached the Immortal Realm yet, so it’s not enough for the Special Investigation Team to make such a fuss. If she were the one causing trouble, we probably wouldn’t even need to get involved,” the slovenly Taoist priest added.
"Don't overthink it. Things will work themselves out. We'll know what's going on when we get there," I said.
At this moment, Zhang Qing'an rolled down the car window, glanced in the direction of his home, and said with some worry, "I just moved into a new house, a courtyard house that cost more than two hundred million yuan. I haven't even settled in yet, and I have to go out and risk my life. You guys have really screwed me over. Ever since I started following you guys, I haven't been able to go home, and I can't even hold my grandson. At my age, I'm still following you guys to make my way in the world. I don't even know if I'll be able to get back to the courtyard house this time."
“Senior Zhang, you’re over seventy and that’s the age to be adventurous. You’re still so young. You can retire when you’re as old as Senior Sha Qianli.” Chi Lang joked with Zhang Qing’an.
We talked all the way to the airport, and when we arrived, we found a small passenger plane waiting for us.
Seeing this scene, we immediately panicked.
Goodness, this is the first time we've ever worked for Tang Shangning in all these years that we've traveled on a private jet for an operation.
They're using airplanes to take us there to save time; the scene of the incident might already be in the thick of a fight.
The driver parked the car directly near the small passenger plane and called out, "Get out of the car and get on the plane quickly. Minister Tang has already left and is waiting for you at the destination."
We immediately got out of the car and walked towards the small passenger plane.
When I walked over to the side, I was surprised to see several familiar faces.
First were Elder Dong and Elder Wang, and then Jin Xingyuan.
If Venus is mobilized, he's bound to clash with the Special Investigations Team.
We didn't give Jin Xingyuan a friendly look, so naturally Jin Xingyuan didn't like us either.
Upon seeing us, Jin Xingyuan snorted coldly and said, "It's you brats again. I really don't know why Minister Tang always drags you bunch of burdens along. You're not of any help and you're always just causing trouble."
Hearing this, our tempers flared up. Little Fatty immediately chuckled and said, "Old Jin, what are you saying? We can't really help much, but since you're the big shot, you'll definitely put in more effort. Last time at the Taoist Academy, you really shone, getting beaten so badly by Wu Jiuyin that you couldn't even get up..."
As soon as he said that, we couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Little Fatty really goes all out when he's roasting people, he's always aiming straight for Jin Xingyuan's heart.
Wu Jiuyin beat Jin Xingyuan so badly he almost lost his cultivation, which was definitely a disgrace to Jin Xingyuan's life!
(Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the best!)
