Chapter 243: Better to Plan Ahead Than To Make Up for It

In a private room in the Kaiyang Restaurant.
Qi Lianjun frowned and fell into deep thought. Zhou Xiruo also looked puzzled. Only Wang Xiao was still eating heartily. Almost half of the delicacies on the table had already entered his stomach.
“Burp—”
After burping comfortably, Wang Xiao patted his stomach and looked at Qi
Lianjun. “Adjutant Qi, have you reached a conclusion or not?”
Qi Lianjun shook his head awkwardly. “Although the capture of Tian Qiang is a secret operation, there are many people involved. It’s difficult to guarantee that no news will leak.”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and thought for a moment. “However, the news happened to be leaked to Teacher Tian. This probability is very low, right?” Qi Lianjun’s expression changed slightly. “You mean…”
Although Qi Lianjun only said half of it, Wang Xiao still understood what he meant. Then, he nodded with a solemn expression. “Tell Commander Chen that we can start casting the net.”
“Hmm…”
Qi Lianjun took a deep breath with a solemn expression and hesitated. “Aren’t you being too rash?”
“It’s better to plan ahead than to make up for it, right?”
Wang Xiao spread his hands helplessly. “I think you know very well the severity of this matter, right?”
Qi Lianjun did not speak, but his suddenly serious expression already explained the problem.
Zhou Xiruo looked at the two of them and could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand a word?” “If you can understand it, I should reconsider trusting you.”
Wang Xiao chuckled and looked at Qi Lianjun. “Adjutant Qi, no matter what, I
hope to let Teacher Tian meet his brother.”
Qi Lianjun frowned as if he was hesitating. “Is he very important to you?”
“Yes… I guess so?”
Wang Xiao replied uncertainly. After all, although he treated Tian Gang as a friend, Tian Gang should still be prepared to take revenge on him. He just did not know what method the other party would use for the time being. “Alright, I’ll try my best to make this happen.”
Qi Lianjun nodded. Then, he thought of something and added, “But I can’t guarantee that it will definitely succeed. After all, this situation is a little special.”
“Understood.”
Wang Xiao nodded seriously. Then, he stood up and bowed slightly to Qi Lianjun. “No matter what the outcome is, I have to thank you first. Also, we’ll have to trouble you to pay.”
“What?”
Qi Lianjun was stunned. Without another word, Wang Xiao pulled Zhou Xiruo and ran out!
As soon as he left, someone happened to come out of the private room opposite theirs. Just as Wang Xiao had the thought that something was wrong, he had already bumped into the other party!
BANG!
With a muffled sound, Wang Xiao and that person took three steps back at the same time.
As soon as he stood still, Wang Xiao hurriedly apologized. “Sorry, sorry! I didn’t see anyone outside just now!”
The person who was knocked down was a middle-aged man. He looked honest and had a very magnanimous personality. When he heard this, he laughed and waved his hand. “It’s fine. It didn’t hurt anyway. However, you have to be careful in the future!”
Wang Xiao nodded repeatedly and was about to continue apologizing when he saw someone poke his head from behind that person to check the situation. It was actually Tian Gang!
“Teacher Tian?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he recognized the other party. “Why are you here?”
Not only Wang Xiao, but Zhou Xiruo also revealed a surprised expression. A few hours ago, Tian Gang still had a lifeless appearance. It had only been a
while since they last met, but he was actually in the mood to come to the Kaiyang Restaurant to eat?
At this moment, Tian Gang also recognized Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo. The expression on his face froze for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal. “Are the two of you… here for a date?”
“A date?”
Wang Xiao was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was still holding Zhou Xiruo’s hand. His face turned red and he hurriedly let go. “No, no. We’re here to see a friend!”
As he spoke, Qi Lianjun also walked out of the private room. When he saw this situation, he was also stunned. “Wang Xiao, what’s going on?” “Nothing much. I just happened to bump into our class director.”
Wang Xiao explained briefly and introduced the two sides.
When he heard that the bespectacled young man was Tian Gang, Qi Lianjun’s eyes trembled slightly and he subconsciously took a few more glances.
In the end, Wang Xiao looked at the middle-aged man who had been Imocked down. “I accidentally bumped into you just now. How should I address you?” “My name is Lan Dahai. You can call me Dahai.”
As Lan Dahai spoke, he took out a few small cards and distributed them to everyone. “I’m a broker in the trading market. If you need resources, you can look for me. It’s fate that we met. I’ll give you a 50% discount!”
“Broker?”
Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered. “Then do you know Ma Yunle?”
“Yes! I even taught that kid!”
Lan Dahai smiled smugly, then revealed a jealous expression. “However, that kid is lucky. He got a big client some time ago and doesn’t even care about small businesses now!”
“He does know Ma Yunle.”
Wang Xiao thought to himself and immediately let down his guard against Lan Dahai. Then, he looked at Tian Gang and asked, “Teacher Tian, are you meeting him here to buy some resources?”
Before Tian Gang could speak, Lan Dahai beat him to it. “Actually, I have something to discuss with Teacher Tian. I have two nephews from the Xiling Region who want to study in the academy in Kaiyang City.”
“But now is not the registration period of the academy. How can it be so easy to enter the academy? I remembered that I made a deal with Teacher Tian previously, so I wanted to treat him to a meal and see if he could help me think of a way.”
Wang Xiao looked at Tian Gang inquiringly. The latter was stunned for a moment before smiling and nodding. However, that smile looked a little forced.
Before Wang Xiao could think carefully, Lan Dahai took the initiative to call out, “Since you’re all Teacher Tian’s friends, I’ll pay for your bill too, how about that?”
Wang Xiao was about to wave his hand when Qi Lianjun beat him to it. “Thank you!”
“It’s fine. Although I’m only a broker, I still have some money.”
Lan Dahai chuckled and waved his hand. Just as he was about to say something, Qi Lianjun had already brought him to the counter.
Qi Lianjun’s abnormal actions confused the few of them.
Zhou Xiruo whispered into Wang Xiao’s ear, “Wang Xiao, is Adjutant Qi usually so stingy?”
Wang Xiao was just about to shake his head when he saw Qi Lianjun walking away before suddenly turning around and winking at him.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Xiao immediately reacted. Qi Lianjun probably felt that there was something wrong with Lan Dahai and deliberately lured him away!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao hurriedly looked at Tian Gang. “Teacher Tian, what happened? Who was that person just now?”
Looking at Lan Dahai being pulled away, a trace of hesitation flashed in Tian
Gang’s eyes. In the end, he still raised his eyes and replied in a low voice, “Didn’t he say just now? His name is Tian Dahai. He came to me to solve the problem of his nephew entering the academy..”
