Chapter 516: Chapter 425 Arrival (Please subscribe!)_1 The progress of this soldier had exceeded Tang Qing’s expectations. He had not expected the ranks would rise so rapidly. Yet, it is better, as the higher you rank, the more you can accomplish. It may not be much in the short run, but one needs to think long term. Not all soldiers serving in the Bangkok police force are making great strides in their careers. Else, if a burst of crime-solving geniuses suddenly appeared, even a fool would suspect that something is up. These ’mediocre’ soldiers mainly act as moles, serving the elite soldiers. An elite leading a team of loyal and brave warriors is the perfect combination. This method is not only utilized in Bangkok but also widely adopted in the ’African Protection Umbrella’ plan. Spy robots have now replaced soldiers who aren’t suited for deceit and diplomacy. Surprisingly, the outcome has been quite remarkable. These spy robots are versatile and articulate. They can handle any situation and have quickly established a stable footing in African countries. However, to achieve significant results, it will still take time. ... June 19th. Thursday. Today was the day Tang Qing was set to set off for his trip to Thailand. His uncle’s family hadn’t returned yet, but they had already left his second aunt’s house, and should arrive at his uncle’s place around ten in the morning. Tang Qing had informed his friends in advance to prepare for their departure. He was booked on a flight in the afternoon. In the morning. Qin Shiqi barged into Tang Qing’s room and handed over a note: "Here you go." Tang Qing took a close look, and thought, all these densely-written items... seem like special products from Thailand. But what’s the deal with this mango? Is this a Thai specialty? "What’s this?" Tang Qing asked, bemusedly. "Gifts." Qin Shiqi said beamingly. Initially, she had planned to go with her sister when she had a break. However, thinking it was still a month away, her aunt promptly vetoed the idea. The sisters were told they’d have another chance next time. Because of this, Qin Shiqi had been down for several days. But her cheerful personality had her bouncing back quickly. Since her travel plans were ruined, Qin Shiqi started to prepare a gift list early in advance, and she wrote a whole page of it. "But... that’s too much. I can’t possibly carry all that." Tang Qing said with a bitter smile. So, you’re writing down everything you can think of, even durian? Is the durian there any different from that here domestically? "Silly, check them in. Since I can’t accompany you, you should do this for me. Are you going to do this or not?" Qin Shiqi looked at Tang Qing, her eyes glistening with ’tears’. Against this tactic, Tang Qing was completely defeated. "Okay, okay, I agree." "That’s more like it. Now, pay close attention and make sure you got everything. If you forget to bring something, no one will bring it for you." After that, Qin Shiqi left joyfully. ... 10 pm. Thailand. Bangkok Airport. Tang Qing and the gang finally arrived in Bangkok. Coming out of the airport, they saw five Mercedes-Benz cars that were driven by his second uncle’s men, parked at the airport exit in a line. Suit-clad hunks gave off an impressive vibe. Despite the late hour, the bustling Bangkok airport, an important air transport hub in Asia, was still bustling with airplanes’ arrival and departure. Exiting the gate, Tang Qing, hand in hand with Lin Jiaxue, moved to the rear, their sweetness and affection spilling over. Li Kai and Feng Sen curiously looked around at new sights. Feng Sen, despite having traveled extensively domestically, was traveling abroad for the first time. As curious as a child, both of them were looking all around at the sights that they hadn’t seen before. Meanwhile, Tang Qing was focused on Lin Jiaxue, which allowed Feng Sen and Li Kai to quickly become good friends. "Old Tang, why do you look so disinterested?" Asked Li Kai, turning around to glance at Tang Qing’s grinning face. He couldn’t help but feel envious. His girlfriend wasn’t ready yet, and it was impossible to bring her on this trip to Thailand. Hence, he had to endure the continual BUFF damage along the way. Seeing Lin Jiaxue, Li Kai’s thoughts strayed to Wang Yan. Being friends and classmates, he could only hope that his brother didn’t mess up the love affair. "What’s there to be curious about?" Tang Qing asked perplexed. Li Kai exclaimed in surprise, "This is a foreign land, naturally, we should take a closer look at what we haven’t seen before. Look, there are so many foreigners." Tang Qing said nothing. In the command room, he had seen too much of this situation already. Many fighters were from various countries, so Tang Qing had no interest in looking at foreigners. It would be more interesting to look at the beauty beside him. "You’ll get used to it. Foreigners, there’s really nothing interesting to see." Tang Qing said casually. Li Kai smirked, "You make it sound like you often see foreigners. Qingyan City is too small, there are no foreign tourists. Look, aren’t those two Africans?" After speaking, he stared at a couple not far away as if they were aliens. "...Probably." Tang Qing struggled to utter these three words. "What does this billboard say? It looks so exaggerated." Li Kai looked at a huge billboard outside the airport and asked. Tang Qing glanced at it and subconsciously said, "It’s an advertisement for fertilizer, increasing income and yield." "Good heavens... You understand Thai?" Li Kai exclaimed. "A little." Tang Qing chuckled. "Tang Qing, do you really understand Thai?" Their Second Uncle, who was in front, also heard this and turned around in surprise. "Well, I learned a little bit when I was bored once." Tang Qing said. These days he had been studying Thai language and script every night. For most people, without a long time of learning, it would be impossible. But for him, who had photographic memory and later awakened telekinetic abilities, it was not an issue at all. In just three days, relying on strong language and graphic memory, basic communication and reading were not a problem. "When did you learn it?" Tang Kai asked in Thai, trying to test him. "Just these past few days. I just feel like Thai sounds so ugly. It sounds so silly when you speak it. Second Uncle, it’s better to speak Chinese. It’s clear and unambiguous. In terms of expressiveness, I think Chinese is the best." Tang Qing replied in Thai. He really didn’t like the way Thai was pronounced. It had a weird emphasis and was slightly demonic. This stunned the people around them. Those who didn’t understand had ’Are you kidding me?’ plastered all over their faces. Those who did understand were all amazed, looking at Tang Qing, who seemed a bit too much of a genius. "Tang Qing, I...your talent, I don’t even know what to say anymore." Tang Kai said with a bitter smile. Few days? You learned a language in a few days? It took him years to be able to read and speak. The gap was too wide. You’re being a bit too much of a genius. But thinking about Tang Qing’s achievements, everyone understood. They couldn’t compare themselves to such a person. Otherwise, life would not only be boring, it would be desperate. Especially for Li Kai, he accepted this setting almost immediately. After the surprise. Everyone got in the car and arrived at Second Uncle’s villa. His villa was not small but also not big. It used to be packed with bodyguards and servants. Because of this, Second Uncle directly bought the villa next door. Rough around the edges due to his wealth. Otherwise, Tang Qing and the others would have had to stay at a hotel for this trip, which would have been inconvenient to meet up over half a month. At night. Lin Jiaxue was called by Tang Nian’er to stay with her. Tang Qing naturally had no objections, since Lin Jiaxue would not agree to anything happening anyway. Besides, he also had to go to the training area to exercise his telekinetic abilities at night, and sometimes he even had ’official business’ to deal with. Having Lin Jiaxue around indeed was inconvenient. After Second Uncle left. "Old Tang, just how much money does your Second Uncle have? He casually buys villas." Li Kai was there poking around everywhere. Feng Sen was not interested, he knew Tang Qing’s net worth from his own cousin. A small local tyrant having a tyrant Second Uncle, there was not much to be surprised about. "Not too sure, maybe twenty or thirty billion." "What, he’s even more loaded than you?" "Of course." "Oh my goodness, I’m so envious. I even want to start life over." "...Get lost." PS: Third Chapter, please vote!
