Chapter 236: The Forgotten *Tang Tan 2* and *Kunlun Divine Palace*

~4 min read 679 words

At the VIP lane exit of the capital airport, White Dragon and Black Tiger stood ramrod-straight in front of the car, hands pressed tight against their trouser seams, eyes lowered, like children who had done something wrong.

When Xiang Fei's group came out pushing their luggage, the two immediately stepped forward to greet them, yet still did not dare raise their heads to meet Xiang Fei's eyes.

"Brother Long, Brother Hu." Xiang Fei stopped walking, his voice calm.

White Dragon's Adam's apple bobbed once, his voice hoarse: "Brother Fei, we......"

Black Tiger went one better and dropped straight to one knee: "Your subordinate failed in his duty! Brother Fei, please punish me!"

Passers-by kept glancing their way; Xiang Fei hurriedly helped Black Tiger up: "Get up, what kind of sight is this."

Zhou Huimin also stepped forward and said softly: "Brother Hu, Brother Long, A-Fei really doesn't blame you. What happened in America, no one could have foreseen."

Only then did White Dragon raise his head, his eyes reddening: "The old master has already carried out the family punishment...... We failed to protect the young master, we deserve to be punished."

Xiang Fei sighed, clapped both men on the shoulder: "Enough, let's talk when we get home."

The stretched Lincoln glided smoothly along the airport expressway.

White Dragon, driving as he reported, said: "The old master said we're to stay by the young master's side from now on, never leaving him for a step."

"That won't be necessary," Xiang Fei rubbed his temples, "I'm not a three-year-old child."

Black Tiger turned from the passenger seat: "Brother Fei, you don't know—when we heard you nearly had an accident in America, the old master almost flew over himself."

Back at the villa-district home, Xiang Fei had only just set down his luggage when he dialed Han Shanping's number.

"Uncle Han, *Tang Renjie Tan An 2* and *Kunlun Divine Palace* can be scheduled for release now."

The other end of the line went silent for a few seconds, then came Han Shanping's vexed voice: "Look at my memory! Being busy with the Oscars made me forget all about *Tang Tan 2*!"

Xiang Fei smiled: "It's fine, arranging it now is still in time."

"Do you have any thoughts on the schedule?" Han Shanping's tone had returned to that of a professional producer.

"*Tang Tan 2* for Labor Day, and put *Kunlun Divine Palace* in the summer break." Xiang Fei walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant view, "Oh right, Uncle Han, release the *Tang Tan 2* trailer first to build momentum."

"Good! A-Fei, I'll go arrange it right now!"

First came a voice message from Wu Mengda: "A-Fei! Heard *Tang Tan 2* is coming out? I'll set off the tour-performance prep in Xiangjiang right away!"

Next was Xiang Qiang: "A-Fei, just say the word if you need any promotional support!"

Last was a text from Han Shanping: "The trailer's already cut, take a look and we can release it."

Xiang Fei replied: "Release it, Uncle Han."

Zhou Huimin laughed from the side: "Looks like it's going to be busy again."

The next day, the first trailer of *Tang Renjie Tan An 2* was released across all the major channels.

In just one short hour, the topic #TangTan2LockedForLaborDay# occupied the front pages of every newspaper. On TV, in the *Tang Tan 2* trailer, Wu Mengda's outlandish look and Duan Long's razor-sharp deduction formed a stark contrast; add to that the New York street car-chase, and viewers couldn't help shouting that it hit the spot.

At the same time, stills from *Kunlun Divine Palace* were quietly leaking out too. The iron triangle of Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and Wang Pangzi sparked endless anticipation.

Xiang Fei scrolled through the papers, then set down his phone with satisfaction. Zhou Huimin brought over a cup of ginseng tea: "A-Fei, get some rest early."

Xiang Fei took it and said to Zhou Huimin: These next few days, bring Yangyang over, A-Min.

Zhou Huimin nodded: "Alright, tomorrow I'll have Brother Hu come back to Xiangjiang with me."
