Chapter 593: Could he really hit people after getting drunk?

The backer behind Tang Jihuai was very good at hiding himself; she had been investigating for so long, yet the clues remained unclear.

A Wei's expression was grave; he hesitated for a long moment before speaking: "Eldest Miss, could it be the Second Madam?"

Tang Bingyan didn't even think about it: "It's not her."

The Second Madam A Wei referred to was Miao Yurong, the widow of Tang Bingyan's second uncle and also Tang Xin's mother. Although Tang Bingyan's second uncle was already dead, this woman, Miao Yurong, was no simple character; she had been constantly inciting Tang Xin to go against Tang Bingyan, and even wanted Tang Xin to take her place.

"Eldest Miss..." A Wei was somewhat confused; Tang Bingyan's meaning seemed to be that she hadn't suspected Miao Yurong or the mother-daughter pair of Tang Xin at all.

In fact, he also didn't understand why Tang Bingyan was so indulgent toward that mother and daughter. Even though Tang Xin had provoked her time and again, she had never dealt with them like she did with other Tang family members who harbored ulterior motives.

Moreover, Tang Xin had been excessively quiet recently; she hadn't come to cause trouble for over two months, and hadn't even

deliberately appeared in front of Xu Tian.

One had to know that Tang Xin's greatest hobby was going against his Eldest Miss. When things were abnormal, there must be a demon; he didn't know if this woman was brewing some major move behind the scenes.

Now that Tang Bingyan was indifferent to his observation, A Wei found it difficult to continue saying anything. However, he also believed that Tang Bingyan must have her own arrangements. Perhaps she wasn't dealing with Tang Xin and her mother out of consideration for the Old Patriarch. If that were the case, he certainly shouldn't be meddling in the Tang family's domestic affairs.

Aside from that strange dream, Xu Tian had no impression of what happened in the bar last night. However, when he walked into the company conference room, he discovered that the people inside were looking at him with somewhat strange expressions.

Especially Nie Jingjing; upon seeing him, she immediately put on a look of horror, as if she had seen some kind of monster.

Xu Tian: "What's wrong with all of you?"

"No... nothing..."

"Morning, Xu Ge!"

"Morning, Agent Xu!"

Qin Yuqing and the others greeted Xu Tian one after another. Although they tried hard to maintain an appearance of nonchalance, from Xu Tian's perspective, these people's reactions were as if they had seen a ghost.

"That... Mr. Xu, are you sober now?" Nie Jingjing swallowed hard, holding a throw pillow in front of herself without any regard for her image.

"When have I ever not been sober?" Xu Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Nie Jingjing, what are you trying to do again?"

"No... I'm not trying to do anything..." Nie Jingjing waved her hands in a panic.

Seeing that Xu Tian was articulate and had a calm expression, not looking like he was in a drunken state, she felt slightly relieved.

Xu Tian looked around the room and finally fixed his gaze on Murong Xue. Seeing her eyes darting away, he spoke up.

"Xiao Xue, you tell me, what are you all afraid of?"

The expressions on these people's faces were clearly ones of fear.

But he had walked into the office by himself just now, with no one around him; what on earth were they afraid of?

"This..." Murong Xue was initially hesitant, but under the expectant gazes of the others, she finally said, "Xu Ge, last night at the bar..."

"What about the bar?" Xu Tian asked, puzzled. "Did you all stay out too late?"

"Uh... Xu Ge, you don't remember anything?" Murong Xue hesitated.

"Yeah, I drank too much yesterday." Xu Tian scratched his head. "I only remember my wife coming to pick me up."

Everyone around:...

"Did I act like a drunken maniac after I drank too much?" Seeing their expressions, which were difficult to describe, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

No way. If he really acted like a drunken maniac after drinking, his lifelong reputation would be completely ruined.

"It wasn't exactly acting like a drunken maniac." Shang Yiran searched for the right words with a complex expression. "It's just that after you drank too much, Xu Ge, you were quite scary."

"Scary?" Xu Tian raised an eyebrow.

"Yesterday, we had a verbal altercation with a few thugs." Yan Qingxue said.

"I seem to have an impression of that. I remember a sleazy guy wanted to harass Nie Jingjing, and I punched him." Xu Tian said, his expression suddenly changing. "Why, did he bring people back to settle the score later?"

"Yes, he brought quite a few thugs, and everyone was holding a baseball bat." Yan Qingxue said.

"Then, were you all hurt?" Xu Tian didn't remember what happened last night and thought the sleazy guy had only come to cause trouble after he had been picked up by Tang Bingyan. "Did you call the police? Were you photographed by paparazzi?"

Xu Tian was inclined to believe they hadn't been photographed; otherwise, rumors would already be flying all over the internet.

"We weren't hurt..." Yan Qingxue hesitated for a moment before continuing, "And we didn't call the police. You drove all those thugs away by yourself."

"I drove them away?" Xu Tian was shocked.

It wasn't that he was shocked he could fight thugs—after all, with his current strength, dealing with a few thugs wasn't a problem. The main thing was that he had absolutely no impression of this experience, and didn't even remember the sleazy guy coming back to find trouble.

"Yes, not only did you beat those thugs until they were black and blue, but you didn't even spare your girlfriend's bodyguards." Yan Qingxue's expression was complex.

"Bodyguards?" Xu Tian asked in surprise. "Are you serious? I even fought them?"

He could understand beating those thugs, as they were the ones who initiated the provocation, but Tang Bingyan's bodyguards hadn't provoked him; how could he have laid a hand on them...

"It's absolutely true." Yan Qingxue nodded. "For the safety of all our company staff, I have already written a ban on you drinking during company team-building events into the company handbook."

Xu Tian:...

That wasn't really necessary.

Not only did he have memory gaps after drinking, but did he also just hit people at random?

Xu Tian was very puzzled, because before his rebirth, he didn't have this problem.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask your girlfriend yourself." Yan Qingxue spread her hands. "We don't know her, so we couldn't have colluded to lie to you."

Xu Tian was silent for a moment and decided not to ask.

Tang Bingyan already didn't let him drink; now he hadn't just drunk until he blacked out, but he had also fought with others. This was simply dancing on her landmines.

"Alright, let's talk business. Qingxue, tell me about the work plan for next week." Xu Tian ignored the dozen pairs of eyes bursting with curiosity and sat in the middle seat of the conference room.

"Our main task next is the promotion for 'All People's Singer-Songwriter'. Taking advantage of this heat, I plan to have Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue take on a few variety shows and interviews on satellite TV to increase their popularity."

Yan Qingxue reported the upcoming work plan and then raised her hand to check the time.

"There's a notice this afternoon for an entertainment variety show on Miguo Satellite TV. Qin Yuqing, get ready and take Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue there."

Xu Tian said: "I happen to be free this afternoon, so I'll go with you."
