"Little Qin, whether it's a person or a dog, you must remember this: I will always be your good principal. We stand together, stay together, share glory and hardship, and live and die together."
"Principal Zhao, talk all you want, but can you let go of my arm first?"
"No. No way!"
Zhao Sifang was worried that Zhao Longfei would anger Qin Siyang and cause the Zhao family to lose benefits that were practically already in hand. He could not hold back any longer and told Zhao Longfei the truth right in front of everyone.
The moment he finished speaking, Zhao Longfei leaped over and grabbed Qin Siyang's arm.
He no longer cared about his image in the eyes of Chu Baxing and the others.
There were at least several thousand Nightmare Octopus corpses inside Qin Siyang's storage boxes.
These were not small gods. They were medium gods. And very difficult medium gods to kill. The smartest among gods. Their materials definitely had research value.
Who wouldn't lose their mind over that?
Zhao Sifang frowned. He could not bear to look at his second uncle's current behavior.
"Principal Zhao, I think President Qin has a point..."
"What President Qin? That's your Brother Qin! My good grand-nephew! We're family! That damn Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce dared touch my grand-nephew! That's intolerable! One month, no, next week! They'll completely disappear next week!"
Qin Siyang looked disgusted.
"Cut it out! Who's family with you? I'm going to do missions!"
As Zhao Longfei pulled Qin Siyang back onto the sofa, he began reminiscing in what he believed was a sincere tone.
"Come on, school missions aren't that important. I'm helping you because our friendship runs deep. Little Qin, our history together could take three days and three nights to tell. I still clearly remember the first time I met you in District 14234..."
"It was District 14121."
Qin Siyang corrected him impatiently while trying to pry Zhao Longfei's fingers loose.
But Zhao Longfei's grip was like an iron clamp around his arm. Without using a skill, he could not move it at all.
"Right, District 14121! The moment I saw you, I knew you were extraordinary..."
"Enough already. You're spraying spit all over my face! Let go! At your age, aren't you embarrassed with Crown Prince Chu, Saint Son Hu, and my brother-in-law watching?"
"No! I won't let go! If I let go, how will we clear up the misunderstanding between us? I'm not letting go."
Qin Siyang sighed.
He knew Zhao Longfei had no shame.
But he had seriously underestimated just how shameless he was.
If it were only the two of them, that would be one thing.
But there were several outsiders here too. How had he already started acting like this?
'What bad luck!'
Even Chu Baxing could not help muttering quietly, "Principal Zhao... why is he like this?"
Hu Chan, however, looked understanding. Looking at Zhao Longfei now, he seemed to see a reflection of his future self.
Gu Yunpeng explained, "If losing a little face could get you a year's worth of military supply funding for the Chu Legion, do you think Commander Chu would do it?"
Chu Baxing frowned after hearing that. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously, "If those were really the conditions, my dad probably wouldn't hesitate even if you told him to eat shit..."
Everyone present froze for a moment.
Especially Zhao Longfei. For some reason, he felt that Qin Siyang's gaze suddenly carried a bit of menace. He instinctively let go.
Qin Siyang immediately broke free and jumped two steps away.
"Don't pull this kind of stunt again. I'm warning you, if you come any closer, I'll defend myself."
Zhao Longfei still wore a friendly, ingratiating smile.
"Little Qin, look at you. Don't be upset. I don't mean any harm."
Goosebumps covered Qin Siyang's body, "Please have some bad intentions already. I seriously can't stand you acting like this! Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! There's one more thing! We can catch up after we talk business. We're family after all."
Chu Baxing felt the atmosphere was strange, "How about you guys talk? I'll leave first."
"Don't leave. What we're discussing next concerns you too."
"Me?"
Zhao Longfei nodded.
"That's right. Little Qin, sit down and listen too."
Seeing that Zhao Longfei did not seem to be making things up, Qin Siyang sat cautiously on the edge of the sofa, ready to run at any moment.
Zhao Longfei bowed and nodded toward Qin Siyang before retreating behind his desk.
Watching Qin Siyang handle a powerful figure like Zhao Longfei so easily, the others could not help but admire him and each had their own thoughts.
"A real man should be like this."
"A lifelong rival indeed."
"President Qin truly has the bearing of someone beyond ordinary people."
"My Brother Qin really is amazing!"
Zhao Longfei said, "There's another matter. It concerns District Governor Kafu and the Richard family. Last time, when he sent people to tear down the guesthouse, all of you were there."
"I discussed this before with my good grand-nephew, Little Qin. With his sharp insight, he immediately saw that Kafu was anxious and impatient, which meant there had to be some hidden difficulty behind it. Following Little Qin's line of thinking, we investigated further and eventually found something. Of course, Little Qin deserves ninety percent of the credit..."
Qin Siyang frowned.
"Stop wasting time and get to the point."
"Oh, right. The Richard family is currently in financial trouble, and it's a very serious problem."
"Why? Didn't you say the Richard family has considerable influence in the Lotus Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the United Government, and the Trinity Church? How could they be in financial trouble?"
"I heard they secretly took on a huge contract to deliver supplies to the Yan Legion, Military supplies involve an astronomical amount of money. Even the Richard family had to borrow funds from multiple sources to take the deal. Then something happened to the shipment."
"The cooperation between the Richard family and the Yan Legion was kept highly confidential, so nobody knew about it before the incident. But the problem this time was too big, and the Richard family can no longer keep it under control."
Qin Siyang asked again, "What happened to the goods that couldn't be resolved?"
"The shipment was robbed. The Richard family lost everything."
"Who did it?"
Zhao Longfei looked at Chu Baxing.
"I only heard some rumors myself. Maybe, and I mean maybe, Commander Chu has some idea where those goods ended up."
Chu Baxing immediately denied it, "Impossible!"
Whether or not the Chu family had done it, there was no way he would admit it.
Robbing military supplies was no small matter. It could easily start a conflict between Legion.
Qin Siyang looked thoughtful, "Based on what I know about Commander Chu, it really does sound like something he'd do."
"Qin Siyang, don't make false accusations!"
"False accusations?"
Qin Siyang looked at him with disdain.
"Weren't you the one who just said your dad would even agree to eat shit for supplies?"
"Now he can get supplies without eating shit, and I'm not allowed to have a reasonable suspicion?"
