Chapter 481. Asking for an Explanation (1)Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Su Rong looked at Tang Xiaocai, looking quite dignified, “Xiaocai, when you stole, no one saw you, right?”

Tang Xiaocai winked, with his hand poking his lips, saying innocently, “No, I guess. But headmaster shifu said since we came back safe and sound, it’s no big deal even if someone saw us.”

Mo Fei raised his eyebrow and asked, surprised, “The headmaster shifu knows this too?”

Tang Xiaocai nodded, saying reasonably, “Yeah, he even praised me.”

Mo Fei asked with interest, “Oh? He praised you. How did he praise you?”

Tang Xiaocai cleared his throat, imitating the voice of fat headmaster, old but full of spirit, “Xiaocai! You’ve done a good job, like me in those days. Good. Good.”

Su Rong, “…”

Mo Fei looked at Tang Xiaocai, tentatively asking, “Except those pieces of metal, nothing else, right?”

Tang Xiaocai rubbed his nose, a bit shy, “I also went to give Tang Qianji a few slaps.”

“Slap Tang Qiangji a few times?” Su Rong was full of surprise.

Tang Xiaocai’s face suddenly went red, then full of guilty whispering, “Not a few, but dozens of.”

“Dozens?” Su Rong’s eyes widened.

Tang Xiaocai flattened the mouth, full of grievance, “Yeah, only a few dozens, no more. I would have wanted to continue slapping him, but, I was afraid that someone might come, so I ran away. He one slapped me like hundreds of times. He still owes me a lot.”

Su Rong saw Tang Xiaocai’s pale face as if he was going to cry, hurriedly comforted him, “Well, you did the right thing. Let’s go beat him again some other day…”

As Tang Xiaocai heard Su Rong’s words, his eyes shone and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Qian Ye narrowed his eyes, “Well, since things have happened, we should never mention it again, like it has never happened.”

Mo Fei smiled weakly and said, “Nothing ever happened! Did anything happen?”

Qian Ye shrugged and said, “No, nothing!”

The next day, the news that the treasure house of Tang family was stolen caused a great sensation.

Such a big family as Tang, known for tight defense, few people had the guts trying to steal things from them.

Tang Baisheng angrily looked at the people in front, “How did you do your job? The thieves even got into our house!”

Several guards lowered their heads, all looking embarrassed.

Tang Baisheng gritted his teeth, his heart burning with anger.

Fortunately it was only a small-size one and though those lost things were valuable, none was a priceless one. It was not that Tang Baisheng cared about those lost stuff, but that since the thieves even went into their house to steal things, apparently they didn’t put Tang family in their eyes.

“Any suspects?” Tang Baisheng asked bitterly.

A guard said quickly, “Yes.”

Tang Baisheng looked at the guard and asked, “Who do you suspect?”

“It may be young master Tang Qiancai and the little golden flood dragon.” The guard hurriedly replied.

Tang Baishin narrowed his eyes, “You mean that little golden flood dragon that stole snowflake chickens in Xingchen College?”

The guard nodded and said, “Exactly.”

“Do you have any proof?” Tang Baisheng asked.

“We found several small paw prints in the treasure house, which were consistent with the little flood dragon’s. Moreover, last night, not only was the treasure house stolen, but also that young master Tang Qiangji was gagged, covered with a quilt and got beaten.” The guard said gingerly.

Tang Baisheng sighed helplessly, Tang Qianji’s mother, beautiful and gentle, and got his favor.

So Tang Qianji was raised arrogant, like to bully those of his own age. The dispute between the children, Tang Baicheng generally turned a blind eye, close an eye. Tang Qianji and Tang Qiancai didn’t like each other was known to everyone, plus Tang Baisheng didn’t care about Tang Qiancai at all. So as long as no one was killed, he just let it be.

“You are of no use! They went to XIngchen College to steal things, and they could catch him. Why did they escape under your nose?” Tang Baisheng yelled.

Several guards lowered their heads, only wishing to dig a hole and stuff their heads in.

“Master, what now? Let it go?” Tang Yi asked.

Tang Baisheng blackened his face, “Let it go? How can we just let it go? Let Elder Tang Lin go to Tianhe College to ask for an explanation.”
