Tanya looked at Wang Qiang strangely, only to see that Wang Qiang was not looking at the vase, but at her.
Perhaps for ease of movement at night, Tanya wore riding breeches and riding boots.
She wore a T-shirt with a camel-colored vest over it, and her hair was styled in a high ponytail, making her look both capable and dashing.
"What's wrong?"
Tanya looked at Wang Qiang!
"You're really going to dress like this? It's too conspicuous and won't make it easy to escape!"
In this era, people wear loose-fitting clothes to conceal their gender. Women like Tanya Li, who dress so boldly and openly about their figures, are indeed a minority.
"Did you remember what I said?"
What did you say?
"Here are 500 gold bars for you."
Tanya pointed to the bottom of the vase again.
"You're only giving me gold bars?"
The 500 gold bars weren't going anywhere, so Wang Qiang wasn't worried.
But the time she's waiting for now is ten or twenty years from now. How can that be compared to today?
"Then what else do you want?"
Tanya looked at Wang Qiang with a puzzled expression.
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I need a lot, but you don't have it here!"
Tanya looked at the young man in front of her; he was always so confident.
"In the past, whatever you wanted, the Lou family could provide it, but now..."
"The scenery here is beautiful."
Wang Qiang went to the window. Through the window, he could see the street directly opposite the back door.
Although it was pouring rain, you could still see a few pedestrians hurrying along the street in the dim light.
The sound of rain pouring down outside the window.
...
"You are a beast."
Tan Yali stood by the window, looking at the rain-soaked street, seemingly cursing Wang Qiang, but it didn't quite feel like it.
As the ancients said, "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for ye may ye have no flowers left to pluck." Beautiful flowers should be picked when they are at their most vibrant.
Wang Qiang also looked at the streets flooded by rain.
"After this parting, who knows when we'll meet again."
The two seemed like old friends. They watched the rain outside and chatted about the future. A bittersweet atmosphere mingled with their conversation.
Tanya pointed to a dark figure on the street and said, "He's back."
Wang Qiang looked at the figure, who was completely wrapped in a black raincoat, walking on the rain-soaked street. The movement was somewhat difficult, but the determination was unwavering.
Tanya turned to look at Wang Qiang. He was staring intently at the approaching shadowy figure on the street. He didn't say a word.
"He's back." Tan Yali thought Wang Qiang hadn't heard her, so she repeated herself.
"I know. He must have been very handsome when he was young."
Wang Qiang watched as the dark figure drew closer. His face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see clearly. However, based on Lou Xiao'e's observation, she could deduce that he must have been very handsome in his youth.
What does "handsome" mean?
Tanya asked, puzzled.
"Shuai means handsome or good-looking."
Wang Qiang looked at her in confusion. Did she not know what Tian Lianshuai was?
Tanya Li: "Oh! He's come in!"
Wang Qiang called out in a low voice, "Yes, they're in!"
Just then.
Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs outside.
The sound was getting closer.
"Knock knock!"
With two knocks, Lou Bancheng appeared at the door of the study.
"You're finally back!"
Tan Yali looked at Lou Bancheng standing at the door and introduced Wang Qiang to him.
"This is the Wang Qiang that Xiao'e has been talking about!"
"Hello, it's a pity we have to leave..."
As soon as Lou Bancheng opened the door, he saw Wang Qiang. Although it was only his profile, he could tell that Wang Qiang was angular and tall, a man worthy of entrusting one's life to.
"Half-City, I plan to give all of this stuff in my house to Wang Qiang, especially these 500 gold bars."
Tan Yali pulled Lou Bancheng to the vase.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Lou Bancheng didn't care anymore. He couldn't take these things with him anyway, so he might as well do Wang Qiang a favor. He had been working in the business world for decades, and Wang Qiang knew that he was bound to be extraordinary in the future.
Now that we're on good terms with him and have Lou Xiao'e's connections, he'll be an ally when things calm down and we come back to fight. So rather than letting someone else take it, it's better to just give it to Wang Qiang.
"Wang Qiang, don't refuse. We're leaving tonight. You can decide what to do with these things. Keep them if you can, and figure out what to do with them if you can't."
Seeing that Wang Qiang still wanted to say something, Lou Bancheng waved his hand and patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder, signaling him not to refuse.
Wang Qiang certainly wouldn't refuse. Putting everything else aside, just those 500 gold bars would be enough to ensure he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. He was happy inside, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll definitely find a good house for you, so you can return to your roots in the future!"
Lou Bancheng nodded. He firmly believed that the storm would eventually pass and the sun would shine again, and he would be able to return then.
"Wang Qiang, remember to protect what you can, and if you can't, then give up. Money is just an external thing. As long as you're alive, everything else is negotiable."
Wang Qiang looked at Lou Bancheng. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be that old this year, but his face looked much older and his hair was gray. Standing next to Tan Yali, he looked like he was more than ten years older.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing!"
"Alright, Yali, tell Wang Qiang all the other hiding places. After tonight, there won't be another chance. I'm going to pack my things."
Lou Bancheng gave a few more instructions before going downstairs to his room to tidy up his things.
Tan Yali took out a piece of paper from her bag, which was covered with dense writing.
"All the hiding places are written here, keep them safe!"
Wang Qiang took it from Tan Yali, folded it without looking at it, and stuffed it directly into his pocket.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
Tanya Li found it very strange. Although Wang Qiang was good-looking, he was definitely not rich. How could he be so calm in the face of all this? Anyone else would have been overjoyed.
"There will be plenty of time to appreciate it later, there's no need to rush."
What Wang Qiang said was true. Anyway, it will be more than ten years. During this period, these things will probably never see the light of day, and I will have plenty of time to appreciate them slowly.
"Fine, whatever you say!"
Tanya felt a sense of relief after delivering the items, and her whole body felt much lighter.
"Write down your Hong Kong Island address for me, and I'll come visit you when I have time."
Wang Qiang's words were like a bolt from the blue, even more shocking than Lou Bancheng's earlier intrusion. Tan Yali looked at Wang Qiang with a puzzled expression.
"Are you afraid I'll report you?" Wang Qiang calmly met Tan Yali's scrutiny.
Tanya was somewhat surprised. "I'm not worried about that, but can you go to Hong Kong Island?"
"You can come with us if you'd like!"
