The Mightiest Little Peasant

The call was from Vice Governor He Changshun.

“Hey, Lil Bro Tang! You made some big waves last night.”

“What’s up?” Tang Hao was surprised.

He Changshun laughed drily. “Haven’t you heard? Xu Jianghai dropped a bombshell last night! The police officers who were dispatched to the Xu family mansion were all dumbstruck.

“That Xu Jianghai looked like he was possessed. He confessed to everything he had done over the past years. Murder, bribery, and even rape. The police officers could not believe it.

“Now, even the Province Headquarters is involved. They’ll be conducting a thorough investigation soon.

“Xu Jianghai never had a good reputation. We’ve been wanting to nab him for a long time, but unfortunately, there hasn’t been sufficient evidence. Now is the perfect chance to bring him to justice. His Long Jiang Group is also heavily involved in criminal activities and it looks like it’ll be shut down. Also, many of his family members will be arrested too.

“As for you, I’ve covered all your tracks. The police won’t be looking for you. That should save you a lot of trouble.”

“Thanks!” Tang Hao said gratefully.

“Don’t mention it. I should be the one thanking you! It’s all because of you that Xu Jianghai is brought to justice!” He Changshun laughed heartily.

He paused for a moment, then continued as though he had remembered something. “Right, I’ve also heard that your company is doing very well now! Bizhi Weight Loss Tea, right? I’ve heard of that product before.”

“It’s not bad!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

“You’re an accomplished young man, Lil Bro Tang! Have you given a thought to my suggestion earlier?”

“What was it again?” Tang Hao was surprised.

“Going to college!” He Changshun said, “Don’t tell me you forgot about it?”

“Ah!” Tang Hao remembered.

On the day he had saved Old Master He’s life, He Changshun had mentioned about him going to college over dinner. Tang Hao said that he was going to think about it because he was busy with starting the company back then.

Now that the company was established with a strong foundation, there was nothing much for him to micromanage.

He briefly considered Vice Governor He’s offer again. He was used to an undisciplined life, and he might not be able to keep up with scheduled classes every day. Furthermore, he could not leave Westridge District for too long. He still had the plantation to tend to!

Also, studying at Provincial City meant that he had to part with Sis Xiangyi for long periods. He would need to ask for her opinion first.

He raised his concerns with He Changshun.

He Changshun thought about Tang Hao’s concerns for a while. “Those aren’t difficult problems. If I can put you in college, then I can also solve these small problems for you.

“You don’t have to be in class all the time. Just remember to show up once in a while. Of course, I can’t help you with your exams. So, what do you think?”

“Well...” Tang Hao hesitated.

He Changshun smiled. “What are you still worried about? You’ve accomplished so much at such a young age, and you ought to go to college to elevate your status. It’ll bolster your reputation when your company becomes world-renowned.

“I can find you a spot at Z University if you like. Of course, they’re a little stricter, and it will be a little more troublesome.”

Tang Hao was finally convinced.

Not being able to go to college was one of his biggest regrets.

When he was alive, his father used to be strict to him, exhorting him to study hard so that he could go to college so that he could have a better future.

Now that he was accomplished in his career, he had not gone to college yet.

“Alright!” Tang Hao agreed.

He Changshun laughed heartily. “That was easy, right? So, which college do you want to go to? Z University then? It’s a prestigious university, and getting a degree from there will add a lot of weight to your reputation.”

“Sounds good. Sorry for troubling you!”

“Don’t mention it. I haven’t repaid you the debt of gratitude! My father has been very healthy lately. He even went hiking a few days ago!” He Changshun laughed.

“Getting you a spot at Z University will need some time. I’ll let you know when it’s done,” he continued.

“Alright!” Tang Hao replied.

After the call ended, Old Master Luo’s phone call arrived not too long after.

“You’re amazing, Grandmaster Tang! Xu Jianghai is finished thanks to you.” Old Master Luo’s tone of voice sounded emotional.

“You flatter me, Old Master Luo!”

Old Master Luo smiled. “Should I lend you a hand in bringing down the Xu family a little faster? I can apply some pressure to the companies of the Yang family and the Wu family too.”

Tang Hao raised a curious eyebrow when he heard that. ‘This Old Master Luo knows what I’m thinking!’

“Alright, that’ll count as the second favor then!” Tang Hao said.

“Alright! How about the Han family too? They’re a little harder to handle though.”

“The Han family? There’s no need. I’ll deal with them myself!” Tang Hao said.

“I see. That works!”

Then, Old Master Luo ended the call.

Later, Tang Hao rode on the train to return to Westridge District.

He arrived at the Westridge District station. Once he stepped outside, he saw a bright red sports car parked by the roadside waiting for him.

Standing next to the car was an extremely beautiful and charming woman. She was none other than Qin Xiangyi.

The beautiful woman and the sports car had attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

“Lil Tang!”

Qin Xiangyi’s eyes sparkled when she saw him. She walked up to him and they exchanged hugs.

They got into the car. “Looks like I’ll have to get my car soon. I wouldn’t want to always trouble you!” Tang Hao said.

“It’s no trouble at all,” Qin Xiangyi said while giving him a side-eye, “Still, you ought to get yourself a new ride. What car do you want?”

“I haven’t thought of it yet, but I don’t want something too flashy,” Tang Hao said after pondering the question, “Something low-profile will do. It shouldn’t be too expensive either.”

“That opens you up to a lot of choices,” Qin Xiangyi said.

“I’ll make my choice when I’m at the showroom then... Right, there’s something else I want to tell you,” Tang Hao announced seriously.

“What’s up?” Qin Xiangyi was surprised.

“I’ve told you before that I’m connected to one of the high-ranking government officials in the province, right? He says that he can put me in college. It’s Z University!” Tang Hao said.

Qin Xiangyi was shocked, then, she looked happy. “Isn’t that good news? It’s Z University, one of the best colleges in the country!”

Then, she furrowed her brows. “Well, the bad news is that we won’t be seeing each other every day.”

“That’s not a problem. I don’t have to go to class every day, just make sure that I show up once in a while. That means I can commute to Provincial City occasionally,” Tang Hao said.

“That’s the best arrangement!” Qin Xiangyi smiled mischievously. “You’re a college student now!”

Tang Hao laughed.

Qin Xiangyi started driving the car.

“Where are we going?” Tang Hao asked.

“Home, of course!” Qin Xiangyi said while looking at him seductively.
