Chapter 6, The Cliché of Street Rescue

Tang Jin suddenly raised her voice and called out. It happened to be around five or six in the afternoon, and there were many people coming in and out of the alley. With her shout, quite a few people turned their heads to look. In Lao Tang Alley, who doesn't know Tang Jin? Of course, everyone also recognized the famous big shrimp.

Tang Sheng did not come to Jiangling to study; he came to fill in the gaps and make up for his regrets. With his level of education, he did not need to learn anything further. His sole purpose for attending Jiangling High School was simple: to find a place to "reside" and then plan his grand ambitions.

Luo Qiangqiang said no more and directly hung up the phone. When Tang Sheng heard the busy tone, he couldn't help but smile wryly, you are quite something, Qiangjie

Tang Sheng had also made some preparations for this. Coming to Jiangling did not necessarily mean he had to work in the government office or in Nanhui; resigning from his official position to engage in commerce was also a viable option

Your great-aunt is waiting for you, are you going to bite me? Go tell your mother and see if she will scold me? Hmph...

Even though this moment has been reborn, all misfortunes have yet to occur, but just thinking about those events causes Tang Sheng's heart to ache

"Tang Lao Qi, what business is it of yours? I haven't flirted with your wife, so stop bothering me..."

"Xiaomi Ge, Xiao Jin is truly the most beautiful woman in our Old Tang Alley, and you two are indeed a perfect match."

... ... you little brat, just wait for me, I will come to settle the score with you one day later

Tang Sheng also saw this moment and realized that he had to take the initiative. Suddenly, he kicked out his leg, delivering a powerful blow to the groin of the large shrimp. The large shrimp let out a muffled sound, covering his vital area with both hands and bending over like a shrimp. Tang Sheng moved like the wind, landing a solid right hook on his left cheek. With a howl of pain, the large shrimp, who was half a head taller than Tang Sheng, fell heavily to the ground.

You shameless person, who would want to go with you? Why don't you get out of the way?

"Ugh... let go of my boss quickly..."

The people around did not know who shouted, and more individuals began to chatter and criticize this bad shrimp.

Tang Jin let out a startled cry, frightened and hurriedly stepping back, only to bump into Tang Sheng's embrace. In her shock, she quickly turned to look back.

The man blocking Tang Jin's path in the middle was about twenty years old, with a partially bald head, clearly a recently released labor reform inmate. His strong arms bore shocking tattoos, and he was known as "Big Shrimp," a notorious thug in Lao Tang Alley, though his full name was unknown.

Then the big shrimp stretched out both arms to block her path, grinning and saying: "Promise me you'll go watch the video with me, and I'll let you go."

Sigh... There's no way around it. Who told me to be impressed by your education and talent? The business flagship I want to establish must be managed by someone trustworthy and capable. You treat me so well; if I don't choose you, who else should I choose? Don't you think so, Sister Qiang?

Do you want to give it a try as well?" Tang Sheng played with the small knife, glancing at him sideways.

It seems I need to ask my mother to deal with you first, and I will wait for you in Jiangling to settle the score.

Ha, I am not afraid of your grandfather's cane. If he strikes me with his cane, I will return the favor with a meat stick. What do you think of that?

At present, if there is someone I can trust and rely on, it would be Luo Qiangqiang, whom my mother is about to arrange to come over.

Tang Jin went to the corner to buy groceries, as she does every day. However, today she was blocked by these three guys at the street corner

Ah... who do you think you are? Dare to meddle in my big brother's affairs? Are you looking for trouble?

Young Master, I fear I cannot make it. I do not know who leaked the news to *Tu* *Shu*, but your father called your mother and forbade me from going

Tang's grip was extremely strong, causing him to scream in agony, which immediately drew laughter from the people around in Lao Tang Alley.

Tang Sheng rolled his eyes, feeling a sudden shock in his heart. In his memory, Luo Qiangqiang's arrival in Jiangling had been smooth, with no unexpected incidents. However, it now appeared that the butterfly effect had triggered a chain reaction, causing some past events to alter their trajectories. This matter is a prime example.

If you don't try, just help these two bastards roll away, and don't let me see you again in Lao Tang Alley

Another fellow quickly flattered, "Yes, Xia Mi Ge, I think you are the only one in Jiangling City who is worthy of Xiao Jin"

Secretary Tang cannot personally attend to every matter at the front line, as there are too many areas he cannot consider. Several significant events that have occurred in the past have contradicted his father's original intentions, and unfortunately, he has become entangled in them. Not only did he fail to assist his father, but he also inadvertently contributed to the wrongdoing.

Walking alongside Tang Laoqi was indeed his wife. Upon hearing this from the big shrimp, she hurriedly pushed her husband and said, "Go home"

Subsequently, Tang turned his attention to the present-day Jiangling, believing that with his own "experience and knowledge," it was impossible for him not to strike gold, especially since he had some resources at his disposal. As for his father, there was no need to consider him... he certainly had no ideas. However, his mother still had some thoughts on the matter; she was the director of the Project Review Department at the Provincial Finance Department, wielding a certain degree of real power that could be utilized

The three individuals quickly subdued the two, both of whom were covered in blood, leaving the other one so frightened that his calves were cramping up

"You say I'm just a little brat? Hmph... Luo Qiangqiang, just you wait, I will remember this debt."

"What if it doesn't flash? Ha..." The big shrimp leered, reaching out to touch Tang Jin's delicate face even more.

Oh... Xiaojin, I haven't seen you for two years since I went in, and now you have become even slimmer and more graceful. Tsk tsk, what a figure!

"No, no, no, I won't try anymore, brother, I am completely no match for you..." As soon as he said this, it sparked another round of laughter.

The guy holding the switchblade also pointed the knife forward, threateningly shouting, "... do you believe I will stab you?"

For two consecutive days, Tang Sheng wandered around Lao Tang Alley. Several times he encountered Tang Jin, but she completely ignored him, leaving him with no opportunity to strike up a conversation. That afternoon, as Tang Sheng was walking back with his hands in his pockets, he heard three young men ahead laughing and shouting.

Sister Qiang, when will you arrive in Jiangling

"Big shrimp, if you stop me again, I will call my grandfather and see if he dares to hit you with his cane"

Tang Sheng reached out his hand to catch the spring knife that was flying in the air, and the skill and precision of his action left many onlookers feeling a mix of shock and fear

Tang Sheng was quite concerned about Luo Qiangqiang's recent situation after getting through to her mobile phone. If his father were to find out about this matter, he would probably not agree.

On the left, a thin young man managed to capture the big shrimp with a single hand, yet he truly did not dare to rush forward.

Tang Sheng responded with swift movements, delivering a kick to the hand that held the knife. The young man let out a yelp as the spring knife flew from his grasp. Before he could retreat, Tang Sheng took a quick step forward, grabbed him by the collar, and with a flick of his wrist, sent the scrawny boy, resembling a thin monkey, uncontrollably crashing into the nearby brick wall. With a loud bang, he slammed against the wall and bounced back.

A middle-aged man passing by remarked that he also disapproved of the behavior of this ruffian.

This time he truly became a big shrimp at m.hetushu.com. Originally, he was half a head taller than Tang Sheng, but his thick wrists were bent back by Tang Sheng to an extreme limit, and the intense pain forced him to bend his knees. "Ah... ah... let go of my hand, brother, let's talk slowly."

Sister Qiang, what would you think if I asked you to abandon your official position and enter into business instead

In reality, such societal scum are not worth the trouble for good people. If they seek revenge, you will only suffer losses. Even Tang Laoqi fears their retaliation; he pushed his wife away and left in silence. Kind-hearted passersby shouted from a distance, urging Tang Jin to leave quickly.

Tang Sheng tucked his phone away, pondering the situation. After all, what money did he have? His living expenses were all provided by his parents. Why would someone like Luo Qiangqiao come over to bother a seventeen-year-old like him about starting a company? It was simply baffling; it seemed the timing was not right.

With such swift movements, it was impossible for anyone to clearly see his actions; they were precise and rapid. The two young men behind the big shrimp were momentarily stunned. Tang Sheng had practiced martial arts, so his strikes were anything but gentle. Against someone like the big shrimp, he could easily handle seven or eight of them.

The large shrimp's claw suddenly reached out, almost poking Tang Sheng in the face. However, Tang Sheng slightly recoiled, swiftly extending his hand to seize its wrist. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he twisted it back, causing the large shrimp to let out a yelp and shrink by half.

Just after experiencing an embarrassing moment, Tang Jin, with her heart racing, accidentally backed into the arms of that unfamiliar young man, feeling even more startled. Little did she know that he was the one who had come to her rescue, now standing protectively in front of her, suddenly evoking an inexplicable sense of safety and reassurance within her.

Father has only recently arrived in Jiangling. Although he is a key figure, even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Navigating the chess game of Jiangling is not so easy. In the struggles of the officialdom, I do not need to intervene directly, nor is it necessary for me to do so. The areas where I can assist my father are in the grassroots, among the working masses in this society, and in the tide of socialist economic development, where I can support him in various ways.

Another guy pulled out a spring knife from his pocket. Tang Jin saw it clearly and couldn't help but exclaim, "Be careful, he has a knife..."

Tang Sheng wrapped his arm around her slender waist, protecting her to his right, and coldly glared at the three large shrimp, "Get lost..."

Take care of that kid properly and see if he dares to cause trouble in the alley again

You... you are my young master, I, Luo Qiangqiao, believe I have been worthy of you, what more do you want from me

From a side and rear perspective, Tang Sheng's physique is neither imposing nor particularly tall, yet at this moment, he is indeed able to shield himself from the wind and rain. A sudden warmth rises within, catching Tang Jin off guard, and the earlier anxiety dissipates.

Luo Qiangqiang replied perfunctorily: "Can you give me some time to think it over? After all, you are not in a hurry, and you know that doing business requires capital."

You shameless person, you are being lewd... Someone come here...

I said, young master, did you provoke Fang Xuan into a fit of madness? Do you know what a commercial mothership is? You don't have a dime to your name, so how can you establish anything with just your fingers? Little brat, try not to have too many unrealistic ideas, alright?

Ah... you rascal, are you behaving like a rogue in this neighborhood? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the neighbors? Isn't it embarrassing?

The large shrimp that fell to the ground had its head bloodied, with three teeth knocked out, and its mouth and face covered in blood. He was a person with experience, able to discern from the force of the opponent's punch that they were skilled in martial arts. His eyes were filled with terror. After being helped up, he trembled and threw out a few formal words before leaving in a disheveled state
