Chapter 54 Spend Time Together
The phone vibrated in his palm. He pressed the answer button and leaned lazily against the window frame: "Hello, Xiaoliu. Are you ready for tonight's game?"
"I told you not to call me Xiaoliu!" Liu Zhiqing's helpless complaint came from the other side, but it was mixed with a hint of laughter. "When will you change this habit?"
Tang Ximian raised an eyebrow and tapped the crystal wine bottle on the windowsill with his fingertips: "Okay, Xiaoliu. After this is done, you can choose any wine from my winery's collection."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line for two seconds, and then Liu Zhiqing's voice, feigning reserve, came: "How can this be so embarrassing? But you can't drink too much, so I'll accept it reluctantly."
Tang Ximian seemed to be able to see the other person's eyes shining, and could not help but chuckle. The rain outside the window seemed to be tinged with a bit of warmth.
The night was deep, and the neon lights of New York were blurred in the rain.
Tang Ximian stood in the shadows, watching Liu Zhiqing's private plane cut through the night sky, the cigarette butt flickering between his fingertips.
He touched the dagger hidden in his sleeve. The cold metal touch reminded him of the warmth Si Yankai had when he hugged him before he left - that guy was always like this, holding him in his arms, saying "don't worry" in a low voice, but never letting him know the truth.
The phone at the police station rang at three in the morning.
When the police rushed into the luxurious villa with a search warrant, the scene before them made everyone stunned: more than a dozen men in suits and ties were lying on the ground, wailing one after another.
Their bodies were covered with bruises and wounds, but none of them were fatal. It was obvious that someone had deliberately controlled the force.
The leading man was tied to a chair with his hands behind his back, his face so swollen that he was almost unrecognizable, but he was still cursing through gritted teeth.
At this time, Tang Ximian was sitting on the sofa in his living room, letting his family doctor bandage the wound on his arm.
Delish looked at the new and old scars on his forearm and couldn't help shaking his head: "You are worthy of being brothers, one is the left hand and the other is the right hand." He teased, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over Tang Li who was sitting next to him.
Tang Li sat in the shadows, emitting a cold aura that seemed to freeze the air around him.
He stared at the bandage on Tang Ximian's arm, his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Derich shut his mouth wisely, picked up the cup and drank a sip of water as if to cover up.
The living room was silent, with only the sound of rain falling outside the window.
After the doctor left, the silence became even heavier.
Tang Ximian secretly glanced at his brother and saw that his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with worry and anger.
Finally, he couldn't help but called out softly, "Brother."
Tang Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes piercing: "You still remember that I am your brother? You didn't discuss such a big thing with me? Even Delish was involved, and you didn't think about your brother, me?"
His voice was a little hoarse, but more of it was the fear that was hard to conceal.
Tang Ximian shrank his neck and whispered in defense: "Isn't this the same injury you sustained last time? And I told you so."
"Yes, I put it in the bottom file. I'm afraid I'll see it."
Tang Li's voice was filled with helplessness. "If the secretary hadn't accidentally knocked it over, I wouldn't have known about it until tomorrow."
Tang Ximian smiled and tried to lighten the mood: "What a coincidence, it's okay, the matter has been investigated for so many years and finally solved, brother, you should be happy."
Tang Li sighed and reached out to gently ruffle his brother's hair. "Yeah, I didn't expect that the traitor was Secretary Chen, who has been with the company since its founding. I'm sorry, brother, for not judging people."
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Tang Ximian raised his head, his eyes determined, "Why do we need to talk about this between us?"
Tang Li looked at the light in his brother's eyes, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He stood up and said softly, "I see. Go upstairs and have a rest. You must be exhausted today. Be careful with your arms when you take a shower. Don't let them touch the water."
"I understand, my dear brother."
Tang Ximian stood up with a smile, and when he reached the stairs, he suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, when your company is settled, can we return to China and settle down together?"
"Okay. Don't worry, this is what I promised you. I also want to go back and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland with my own eyes."
"Okay, brother, go to bed early."
Tang Ximian waved his hand.
