Four Skills for All.

Chapter 109 Tang Lao's Identity

September 19th. Today is a rare day off, and Mo Xiu did not waste it.

After getting up in the morning, I went to the rooftop to start practicing boxing, but I haven't had a chance to properly adapt to the upgraded skills yet.

Using the skill instantly increases all attributes by 800%, but it inevitably causes some problems with strength and coordination, making it impossible to exert full power.

He practiced his punches for a whole day. Mo Xiu was already calm and composed, and with the training he had received during this period, he patiently honed each move.

In just one day, Mo Xiu felt that his combat ability had improved a lot compared to when he first awakened.

So engrossed was he that he forgot the time until Liu Ziyang called, at which point Mo Xiu remembered that he had arranged to visit the Liu family today.

Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Mo Xiu quickly got dressed and hurried downstairs.

When I opened the door, I found Liu Ziyang already waiting at the door.

"Why are you waiting here? I'm so sorry, I was practicing boxing and lost track of time."

Liu Ziyang waved his hand magnanimously and said, "It's alright, boss, why are you being so polite with me? Let's go!"

Mo Xiu followed Liu Ziyang to the Liu family's house on the sixteenth floor. As soon as the door opened, Liu's parents were there to greet him.

Mo Xiu immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Uncle and Aunt, I'm so sorry I'm late."

Mr. Liu said, "Hey, you're not late, you've arrived just in time. Please come in."

Mother Liu chimed in, "Yes, come in quickly, the food is just ready, you've come at the perfect time."

Mo Xiu wasn't visiting for the first time, so he didn't stand on ceremony and followed the three of them to the restaurant to sit down.

Looking at Liu's father, he was indeed radiant and full of energy, befitting a top figure in the business world of Yanjing.

Liu's father was named Liu Jingshan. Unlike Yue Long, who started from scratch in Shuncheng, Liu Jingshan was born into a wealthy family. Both of them were incredibly capable and had extraordinary methods.

Liu Jingshan has spent twenty years developing his family business to its current peak, and it is said that he is slowly moving closer to both the military and the royal family. While he may not be able to control everything in Yanjing, he certainly wields considerable influence.

Liu Jingshan asked, "Mo Xiu, how is your master?"

Mo Xiu immediately understood that this was a question for Old Tang.

"My master is elusive, and I haven't seen him in a long time, but he's doing well."

Liu Jingshan laughed and said, "Haha, speaking of which, I can be considered half of Tang Lao's apprentice. Of course, I'm being a bit boastful. When I went to Shuncheng, I was fortunate enough to receive some guidance from Tang Lao, and I benefited greatly from it."

Mo Xiu wondered if Liu Jingshan was telling the truth. His cheap master hadn't taught him anything, yet he had taught others.

Mo Xiu thought this to himself, but on the surface he exchanged a few polite words.

During the meal, Liu Jingshan kept talking about things in Shuncheng, trying to chat with Mo Xiu more.

After the meal, Mo Xiu intended to say goodbye, but Liu Jingshan stopped him.

"Oh? Mo Xiu, don't rush off, watch some TV with your uncle."

Mo Xiu couldn't refuse, so he sat on the sofa and watched TV with Liu Jingshan and Liu Ziyang.

Liu Ziyang is such a heartless rascal, laughing heartily while watching TV, until Liu Jingshan found an excuse to send him away.

After Liu Ziyang left, Liu Jingshan said, "Mo Xiu, what do you think of my son?"

"Liu Ziyang is great. He helped me a lot in the school's club competitions and is a trustworthy teammate."

Liu Jingshan laughed loudly, "Haha, don't try to make me happy, he's not very bright."

Mo Xiu said seriously, "Liu Ziyang is very reliable when he's serious. He has all the qualities of a good assassin."

"Would you be willing to let him join your team?"

Mo Xiu answered without hesitation, "He is an indispensable member of my gang."

I'm not talking about a club, I'm talking about your team.

Mo Xiu asked in confusion, "I don't understand, please enlighten me, Uncle Liu!"

Liu Jingshan said, "You are Tang Lao's apprentice, you should build your own team."

"Oh? Why does Tang Lao's apprentice need to form a team?"

Liu Jingshan asked in surprise, "Don't you know who Elder Tang is?"

Mo Xiu shook his head awkwardly and said, "I really don't know!"

"Haha, Old Tang is really strange. He lets the Wang brothers spread the word that you are his apprentice, but he doesn't tell you his identity."

"The Wang brothers? Are you Wang Lei and Wang Yu?"

"That's right, it's Wang Lei and Wang Yu."

"Would you mind telling me Mr. Tang's identity?"

Mo Xiu only asked the question symbolically, not expecting Liu Jingshan to give him the answer. After all, even Mu Qingyi hadn't told him.

Liu Jingshan answered without hesitation, "Sure!"

"ah???"

"I said I could tell you who Old Tang is."

Mo Xiu immediately clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

Liu Jingshan waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. I'll be very grateful if you can take good care of Yang for me in the future."

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, I will."

"Yes, Elder Tang's identity is very special; he is the supreme leader of the Shadow."

Mo Xiu was startled. The supreme leader of the Shadows? But he didn't look like it.

Liu Jingshan continued, "I know your doubts. Although Elder Tang is the highest leader of Shadow, he doesn't concern himself with anything within Shadow. Is he just an idle person?"

Mo Xiu frowned even more. An idler? How could the leader of the Shadows be an idler?

"What exactly is my master's job?"

"What is the Shadow responsible for?"

"Inspection!"

"Whom are we monitoring?"

"Inspection and enforcement teams and military and other alliance-affiliated departments."

"Hmm, Shadow is responsible for monitoring the law enforcement teams, so who is Shadow's highest leader responsible for monitoring?"

As Liu Jingshan spoke, he pointed upwards with his finger.

Mo Xiu was utterly shocked. Liu Jingshan's words were very cryptic, but the answer was already obvious.

After calming down, Mo Xiu said, "Uncle Liu means that my master wants me to be his successor?"

"That's right. Old Master Tang only ever took you as his disciple, and he publicized it everywhere. What do you think that means?"

"I understand. Since Uncle Liu is being so frank, I can also tell you that Liu Ziyang will be a member of my team."

Liu Jingshan was incredibly clever. Even if he didn't tell Mo Xiu about Tang Lao's identity, someone else would. By telling him now, he could at least do Mo Xiu a favor.

Since Elder Tang is in charge of monitoring that small group of people, he needs an extremely powerful team, which coincides with Mo Xiu's idea of ​​building his own team.

Liu Jingshan stood up, clasped his hands, and was about to kneel down on one knee when Mo Xiu grabbed him tightly.

"Uncle Liu, what are you doing? This is going a bit too far."

"However, since Liu Ziyang is following you, my Liu family will naturally follow you as well. I believe you are worthy of this humble bow."

Liu Jingshan's attitude had been very good, but he had never expressed any overly ingratiating intentions. This sudden bow caught Mo Xiu off guard.

"Uncle Liu, get up. I'm not the crown prince, it's not that serious."

"You are not the Crown Prince, but you are the one who decides who will become the Crown Prince. I, Liu, have been wandering around for so long and have met many members of the royal family, but I have never bowed to any of them before. But today, I am truly sincere."

Mo Xiu said, "I understand. Liu Ziyang is not only my teammate, but also my brother. I cannot accept this bow."

Seeing Mo Xiu's resolute attitude, Liu Jingshan had no choice but to stand up, sit back down on the sofa, and sigh, "Alas! Why won't you accept the Liu family's dependence?"

Liu Jingshan's words were already very straightforward, but he misunderstood. Mo Xiu didn't mean to refuse; he genuinely didn't want to be knelt before Liu Ziyang's father.

"From now on, I will ask Uncle Liu for help with anything. I hope Uncle Liu will not refuse me."

Liu Jingshan, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up and said with surprise.

"Yes, sir!"
