Chapter 23 Dialogue Tang Long

  Su Wen looked back strangely.

  That's a familiar face, just saw him at Tang Xiaoyao's house.

  On the photo.

  "Are you Uncle Tang?" Su Wen hastily tidied up his clothes, wiping away the few drops of blood that had stained them.

  Tang Long walked over from a distance, laughing: "Just now I went home and found that you had already left. Then I thought of you just coming to Jiangning, probably didn't know the way, so I chased after you to take a look, didn't expect to actually catch up with you."

  "Uncle Tang, don't worry, wherever I go, I always take a look at the map of that place first. Maybe it's also because I have a talent for this, but almost all the maps I've looked at can leave a specific impression in my mind." Su Wen said, pointing south, "For example, taking us as the center, if I'm not mistaken, to the south is Dongxing Street, and further south is Ruyi Avenue. To the north is Jinglong Garden, which goes straight to 112 National Road. To the east is Jiangjing Road, where the largest museum in Jiangning is located. As for the west, it's the famous Jiangning University. Chu Lao's old residence is just at the back door of Jiangning University."

  "Tang Long was slightly shocked: 'Really didn't expect you had this talent.'"

  Su Wen shook her head: "I don't think it's a talent, but my dad once told me that you can only find your way if you know the roads around you. So from childhood to adulthood, I rarely get lost."

  Tang Long's impression of Su Wen completely changed.

  He was thinking a few days ago that Su Wen would not be able to find a job after graduating from university. At that time, he basically did not have any hope for Su Wen and had even made up his mind to teach Su Wen a lesson on behalf of Su Donghe. However, after just a few words of conversation with him, he knew he was wrong. The young man in front of him was more cunning than he thought, braver than he thought, and he even felt a terrifying aura from Su Wen that was difficult to detect.

  This is a very unusual thing.

  "Uncle, thank you for everything you've done for me." Su Wen thanked him again, also sizing up Tang Long.

  Su Wen's understanding of Tang Long far surpasses Tang Long's understanding of Su Wen. When he chatted with Tang Xiaoyao, he gathered a lot of intelligence about Tang Long through indirect questioning. At the very least, he already knew that Tang Long was the director of the Jiangning Municipal Public Security Bureau. He also knew that Tang Long had decent martial arts skills and even knew what time Tang Long went to and from work every day...

  "I and your dad are like close brothers, helping is what I should do." Tang Long now thinks that he didn't help Su Wen at all, it shouldn't be hard for Su Wen to find a good job. "From now on, you can work at Jibaozhai, after work you can go to Uncle's house for dinner. If there's anything that can't be solved, you can also ask Uncle for help."

  "Thank you, Uncle. I know," Su Wen revealed a smile. "That... Uncle, it's not early anymore. You wouldn't really just come to see me for no reason, would you? If there's something on your mind, just say it. You and my dad are brothers, so that makes you my real uncle too."

  Tang Long felt somewhat awkward, shouldn't this be his line?

  "What's wrong, uncle?"

  Tang Long smiled bitterly: "It's like this, your jade Ruyi is very valuable, take it back!"

  "Is it like jade?"

  Su Wen thought for half a day and finally remembered.

  "You can't have forgotten already, can you?"

  Su Wen looked a bit embarrassed: "Uncle Tang, that was my heart's intention, and it wasn't worth much money. You'd better not return it, where's the logic in giving something away and then taking it back? If people find out, they'll laugh at us."

  "What's the point of being worthless? Do you think Uncle is a bumpkin? After so many years in the business, I still have some discerning eyes. This jade Ruyi can sell for at least tens of thousands of dollars." Tang Long glared at Su Wen, "Do you think it's suitable for Uncle to accept such a valuable thing?"

  "The younger generation is filial, and it's suitable to accept no matter what. Su Wen smiled and said, 'Uncle, since I know the value of the jade Ruyi, but still gave it as a gift when I came to your door, you should also understand that I really don't lack this bit of money.'"

  Tang Long smiled wryly: "Are you showing off your wealth to uncle?"

  "Show off wealth?" Su Wen was taken aback for a moment, "This is actually not a bad idea, but I'm all coins on me now, can't take them out to make Uncle laugh."

  Tang Long really couldn't understand what Su Wen meant.

  "It's just a small gift, not worth mentioning." Su Wen waved his hand. "Uncle, don't worry about it. Maybe one day I'll have something to ask for your help, and this can be considered as buying you off in advance. Is that okay with you, Uncle?"

  "You think Uncle Tang is some kind of person, you're my nephew, there's nothing that can't be helped. If I wanted to accept bribes from others, I don't know how many people would give me bribes, where would you even come in?" Tang Long burst out scolding.

  "This is the end of it, I'm not bribing you or giving you something precious, why do you still want me to return it, it's unreasonable?" Su Wen made an innocent expression.

  "Good kid, you actually got me to take it." Tang Long finally came around, "In that case, I'll accept the gift. From now on, let's just put it at home as a decoration. But next time, don't send any gifts, or it will really be considered bribery."

  "I understand." Su Wen smiled slightly.

  "Go back and rest early, Uncle is also going back." Tang Long looked at the time and found that it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

  Su Wen also knew that time was running out, but looking at Tang Long, she inexplicably said: "Uncle Tang, why did you all keep Father's affairs a secret from me?"

  "This..." Tang Long was about to turn around, but he stopped himself again.

  "Uncle Tang, now that it's just the two of us, can't you reveal a bit about Father? Honestly, I don't care what happened in the past, I'm just simply curious." Su Wen made an expectant expression.

  He knew that now only Tang Long could give him an answer.

  Everything about his father became more and more mysterious. It wasn't until today that he found out that his father's comrade-in-arms was actually the director of the Public Security Bureau in Jiangning City. If someone else had this kind of relationship, they would have been able to act tyrannically in Lingyin County long ago, but his father had always been very low-key. Everyone knew that his father used to be a soldier, but no one knew what he did while serving in the army, and even when he retired, people in the village just thought that he couldn't stay in the military anymore.

  Tang Long remained silent, and he wanted to refuse Su Wen outright.

  But thinking of Su Wen's scene of subduing five thugs just now, his heart wavered.

  "Uncle Tang, isn't it inconvenient to say?"

  "Sue Wen, when the time comes, I will tell you everything. For now, all I can tell you is that your father was a great man, and you will be proud of him." Tang Long said solemnly.

  Su Wen felt helpless in her heart, and indeed it was still like this.

  "Alright!" Su Wen said, he took a glance at Tang Long and suddenly noticed that Tang Long's sleeve seemed to be cut open with a slit, and he furrowed his brow unintentionally. "Uncle Tang, how was today's mission? Wasn't there any unexpected event?"

  "The arrest went smoothly, although the suspect was a skilled martial artist, but in the end he was still subdued by us." Tang Long was somewhat pleased with himself, and when talking about work, he was always very proud. "However, there were some unexpected twists, the diamonds stolen from the jewelry store by the suspect have disappeared."

  "Is it gone?"

  "He was thrown into the Yangzi River, and it's hard to find him!"

  Su Wen thought for a moment and soon knew what Yangzi River was.

  Now it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find something that has fallen inside.

  "Uncle, if you trust your nephew, why not give him a chance. Maybe I can help uncle get that diamond back." Su Wen spoke up again.

  He has a great heavenly Dao recovery system, as long as he knows the approximate location of the diamond falling into the Yangzi River, it is still easy to find.

  "Are you kidding me?" Tang Long was clearly incredulous.

  "It should be fine, I'm about 90% sure." Su Wen smiled, "Uncle, don't ask too much, maybe being good at swimming isn't a must either."

  "I think it's just your good luck." Tang Long shook his head.

  "Uncle, if you don't believe me, then I have no way to convince you. But if you do believe me, then give me a chance. Lately, I've been worried about how to help others and make them happy, now that I think about it, this is actually not a bad idea." Su Wen revealed a strange smile.

  "You've said that, so Uncle will give you a chance." Tang Long also smiled, "Whether or not you find it, Uncle won't have any loss, but if you really do find it, I'll definitely get Da Fu Jewelry to give you a big red envelope."

  "How can that be, the red envelope is exempt, donate it to the poor mountainous area!" Su Wen waved his hand, he remembered what was said in the branch task, helping others with pleasure cannot ask for benefits.

  Tang Long told the approximate location and then drove away.

  Su Wen secretly took note of it and planned to try it out tomorrow after work.
