Chapter 349 Planning Revenge (2/2)

Seeing this, Kang Liang's distaste for the man faded slightly. It was obvious that there was more to the story than met the eye and so, Kang Liang said, ”What have you been doing then? Planning revenge? Is that why you live here? Because you've been spending all your resources on it?”

Kang Liang's questioning was logical, but after hearing this, Lu Xing gave a dry laugh and said,

”I'm not planning revenge just yet, I'm gathering information. I'm sure this had something to do with the Kang family though.” Lu Cing said with obsessive certainty. Then realizing he had forgotten to say something, he turned to Kang Liang and said, ”Also, I live here because I'm broke.”

As Lu Shuya andKang Liang we're trying to get information out of Lu Xing, Trailblazers was about to start.

After their small confrontation, Tang Yiling had spent the whole night with Ning Jie and sometimes, Tang Luoyi and meanwhile, Lu AnLing had just been having some fun small talk with her family members and friends.

By then, most of the other members of the Kang, Lu and Tang family had gone their separate ways and so all was calm... And it remained calm until, Elder Tang walked onto the stage with grace and class. Showing no shame in the fact that he used a cane. And then, when he got to the top, he showed his most dignified expression.

Despite being Elder Tang's birthday party there were a lot of people who the old man didn't know, so as when he looked down into the crowd of people he felt disgusted.

”Honoured guests, I'm glad to have you all here at my celebration. These past few weeks have been hard. Many have been suspecting how the Tang Corporation and Trailblazers is run but there is no need to worry. Tang Corporation will always rise up stronger. Despite the mistakes made by my family members they will learn with time to be better more intelligent members of the entertainment world.” Elder Tang said.

To his own ears, Elder Tang's words felt robotic. This was because they were not his words at all. Mostly the first part... He had memorized a speech written for him And added a bit of his own flair. If it was up to him, though, he wouldn't have spoken so calmly at all, but in the world of entertainment, appearances needed to be kept.

After he finished saying this, he was free to speak his mind and so he said,

”Tang Corporations has always been proud of our honour and fairness. I know many are concerned about the fact that my granddaughter, Tang Yiling, is participating in Trailblazers but, do not worry. Our panel of judges are some of the best in the industry. They should judge things fairly, and if they don't then, I have put a failsafe in place. Another panel of judges will be listening into this and they will also be making the decisions. If the two panels disagree, the second panels, which has not been chosen by anyone in the Tang Corporation, decision will be the one taken as final.”

As Elder Tang spoke everyone listened. There was not a single sound in the room. The man's aura and dignity had silenced them. Even after he had ceased speaking, the room was still quiet, until he spoke once more.

”Now, let Trailblazers begin!”

After saying this, the room erupted in claps and Elder Tang walked offstage.

Seeing his father on stage, Tang Yian was mystifiedbut when the man had walked off and passed him without a second glance, Tang Yian felt every hair on his body stand on end.

He had to do well. He had to judge fairly. Or else he would be sullying the honour of the Tang's and he wouldn't allow this.
