Li Yiming, upon hearing this, simply laughed, "Gu Chongming, you are impressive, huh? So it’s ’destroy the bridge after crossing the river,’ is it?"
"Fine, go ahead and ’destroy it.’ As long as you can withstand the wrath of the Tang family, just fire me." Even as Gu Changchuan held him down to the ground, Li Yiming didn’t forget to issue a fierce warning to Gu Chongming.
As soon as Li Yiming said this, Gu Chongming’s face instantly changed.
Last year, the Sea City No.1 Middle School’s Deputy Headmaster was transferred away, and it just so happened that during that time Gu Chongming was on a business trip in the capital, where he ran into Li Yiming, whom he hadn’t seen for many years.
Gu Chongming and Li Yiming were university classmates, both from prestigious schools, and were good roommates during their college years.
Although they hadn’t seen each other for many years, due to the four years they spent together in college, Gu Chongming still trusted Li Yiming a great deal.
Knowing that Li Yiming was from the Li family of the capital and was related to the Tang family, and also worked in the educational profession like himself, Gu Chongming invited Li Yiming to become the Deputy Headmaster of Sea City No.1 Middle School.
The position of Deputy Headmaster at No.1 Middle School wasn’t for just anyone.
Sea City No.1 Middle School enrolled many children from noble families, so the Deputy Headmaster had to be someone with a strong enough background and who wasn’t afraid of offending those wealthy and powerful students, only then could they keep the students in line.
Coming from a prestigious school and with his maternal family being the Tangs of the capital, Li Yiming was undoubtedly a very good choice.
Thus, he extended the invitation to Li Yiming.
Li Yiming didn’t hesitate for long and agreed.
Gu Chongming never imagined that Li Yiming would turn out the way he had.
He had even less expected that the very background of Li Yiming he had once valued would now be used by Li Yiming to threaten him.
Seeing Gu Chongming’s expression, Li Yiming let out a snort of contempt, his eyes tinged with disdain, "Gu Chongming, do you dare?"
The look on his face could only be described as exceedingly arrogant.
"The Tang family, which Tang family?" It was then that Shen Yu, who had been mutedly watching the drama unfold for quite some time, suddenly spoke up.
Gu Chongming turned his head and glanced at Shen Yu indifferently, the look on his face clearly signaling him to shut up.
Gu Chongming didn’t answer Shen Yu; instead, it was Li Yiming, who was pinned to the ground, who replied, "Which Tang family? Have you heard of the Tangs of the capital?"
As soon as Li Yiming spoke, the expressions of the people present shifted, more or less, clearly all aware of the Tang family of the capital.
Gu Changchuan, who was holding Li Yiming down, also altered his expression slightly, his brows tinted with a trace of gravity.
No wonder this guy was so arrogant; it turned out he had the Tang family as his backing.
In reality, for a major family like the Gu family, it wasn’t the Tang family that was truly terrifying, but four people from the Tang family—the current Tang Family Head, the Matriarch of the Tang family, and their pair of sons.
And out of the four, the most dreadful was undoubtedly the second young master of the Tang family, Tang Yichen, the only publicly known leader of the Ever Winning Army.
In all of Daxia, besides those who wanted Tang Yichen’s life, there was likely no one who dared to provoke him.
"Hmph, scared now, aren’t you? If you’re scared, why haven’t you let me go?" The first sentence was directed at everyone present, the second at Gu Changchuan.
After saying this, Li Yiming thought that perhaps Gu Changchuan would release him out of fear, but he was mistaken. Instead of letting him go, Gu Changchuan pressed down even harder, "Hmph, if the Tang family decides to confront my Gu family just to protect you, they don’t deserve to be called a major family. My Gu family didn’t grow to its current size by being intimidated."
Li Yiming immediately widened his eyes, "You’re not scared? Do you know who Tang Yichen is? He’s my cousin!"
"If he finds out about how you’re treating me, he won’t let you off."
"Huh~ I never expected Tang Yichen to have such an older cousin; you could practically be his father with your age," no sooner had Li Yiming spoken than Chubby Chiu in Gu Zhiqi’s mind expressed disdain.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t pay attention to Chubby Chiu’s comment but merely arched an eyebrow slightly.
Tang Yichen’s cousin?
