Chapter 176: The Relationship Between Tianyangsheng's Brothers and Huahua

~7 min read 1,213 words

When Li Xin, Taizi, and the others were discussing the competition details.

Huahua drove the car Li Xin had prepared for him, arriving at the orphanage where he grew up; just as he parked the car in the yard, a bunch of little radish heads swarmed over.

"Brother Rong, what tasty stuff did you bring us? Do you have any beef?"

"Yeah! Brother Rong, did you bring any tasty stuff?"

A little girl ran over and hugged Huahua's thigh, blinking her big eyes.

Giggling, she asked: "Brother Rong, did you bring me a pretty little backpack?"

Huahua scooped the little girl into his arms and told the kids: "Don't be naughty, hurry up and go play; there's something good to eat at noon."

He then waved at a few older kids, waited for them to come closer, and tossed the car key in his hand to the leading rascal.

He said, ordering: "Xiaomu, you take those few and move the stuff out of the car; I'll go find the director first."

Xiaomu was quick-witted, jangling the car key in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Rong! I'll handle this; I'll get it done for you."

Huahua held the little girl as he walked toward the director's office, smiling and asking: "Xiaohua, have you been behaving lately? Any mischief?"

Xiaohua wriggled a few times in his embrace, then wrapped her arms around his neck and said: "Brother Rong, I've been good; did you bring me a pretty little backpack?"

Huahua held her with one hand and patted her little head with the other.

"I brought them; you all have one. We'll get them later. Now come with me to see Director Grandpa, okay?"

"Okay!"

Xiaohua replied.

When Huahua brought Xiaohua to outside the office, there were a few people inside whom he didn't know.

Those people gave him a sense of danger, especially the one who resembled Tianhong, who retreated while holding Xiaohua.

Then he said to her: "Xiaohua, Brother will give you a number; have Xiaomu dial that number and say I'm in danger, so he comes to rescue me. Got it?"

Although Xiaohua was young, she understood things early; she tugged at his pants leg and said anxiously: "Brother Rong, let's go make the call together, okay?"

Huahua rubbed her little head and asked with a smile: "What about Director Grandpa?"

Xiaohua was torn, then said: "You have to be careful; I'll send someone to rescue you soon, so wait for me, okay!"

"Hurry up and go, listen!"

Watching Xiaohua run off, he touched the dagger at his lower back, then came to the office.

Upon entering, he shielded the director behind him and asked those people: "Friends, what's the matter? Just tell me if there's anything."

Tianyangsheng stared at him and asked coldly: "You don't even recognize me?"

Huahua ignored his words and instead said: "Don't joke; tell me what's up, don't make things hard for the director."

The director chuckled, stood up, and patted Huahua's back reassuringly.

He said with a smile: "Ah Rong! Don't be nervous, this kid is Xiaosheng! He used to follow you around as a little tail—do you remember?"

Huahua studied him for a moment, then went up to Tianyangsheng and hugged him tightly.

After letting go, he eagerly asked: "Weren't you supposed to go abroad with a couple? When did you come back?"

Without waiting for Tianyangsheng to answer, he looked at the others and asked: "You're Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Li, Xiao Xin, Xiao Ren, Xiaoen, right?"

They laughed and shouted: "Brother Rong!"

Huahua didn't ask anything in front of the director; instead, he chatted with them about everyday matters.

Time flew as they chatted; just when they were laughing loudly, the office door was suddenly kicked open and a squad of armed people rushed in.

Jianjun said: "Nobody move, or you'll die here."

Just as the two were stunned and the seven were tense, Li Xin walked in and asked:

"Huahua, are you okay?"

Huahua slapped his forehead and hurriedly explained: "A Xin, it's a misunderstanding; I was just chatting and forgot all about this—these are my brothers and sisters."

Li Xin then sized them up; he didn't recognize the others, but he still knew Tianhong, Tianyangsheng and Tianyangyi, Jingge and An Zhijie—he could recognize their faces!

Li Xin told Jianjun: "Take them back; just leave Jianguo behind."

Jianjun nodded, led the people away, and left without any hesitation.

Li Xin first shook hands with Director Chen, smiling and saying: "Director, hello! I'm Li Xin of the Hongxin Group; I've often heard Huahua mention you, saying you're a venerable elder worthy of respect."

"I only had time today to visit you; please don't take offense!"

After shaking hands, Director Chen thought: "Your visit is quite special! Did you used to go visit people with a gun before?"

"Hmm, indeed it is!"

"No matter what he thinks, the director still said politely: 'Mr. Li, you're being too courteous; I'm just an old man, no need for a visit!'"

Li Xin shook his head and said sincerely: "You raised Huahua; he's my brother, so it's only right I come visit you—don't stand on ceremony with me, we're one family, no need to talk about two families."

He then asked Huahua: "What's going on? How did such a big mix‑up happen?"

While Huahua was explaining the process to him, Tianyangsheng and his siblings stared fixedly at Li Xin.

Although they had only just returned to Gangdao not long ago, they still knew who Li Xin of the Hongxin Group was—a true big shot of the martial world.

His strength is formidable; they'd heard many rumors about him, the most famous being the incident on Ao Island, which had rumors all over Southeast Asia.

They'd heard about it in Myanmar as well; many rumors circulated, and what stuck with them most was that the Wanwan Triple Union Gang lost many hall masters at his hands.

The gunmen under his command are definitely not weak; indeed they are quite strong, and just from those few who had just entered, he sensed danger.

Especially the leader—even Tianyangsheng wasn't sure he could take him down; his intuition is spot‑on, and many times on missions it has saved his siblings' lives.

That Li Xin just stood there chatting with the director and them, and Tianyangsheng felt he could be killed at any moment, wondering where this feeling came from!

But he trusted his intuition; his clenched fists were slick with sweat, he had never felt so powerless, sensing no chance to fight back.

Tianyangyi and the others also noticed their elder brother's odd expression, grew tense, secretly prepared, and placed their hands behind their backs.

Tianyangsheng shook his head at them, telling them not to make too many small moves.

If Li Xin makes a move, he now has no confidence that he could bring his brothers away safely, so he'd better not do anything extra.

To avoid misunderstanding, it looks like he gets along well with Rong Ge, so he probably didn't come for them; then don't provoke him, just wait for him to leave.

Sometimes having a special talent isn't good either; they can end up scaring themselves.

It made them anxious and fearful.
