Guan City, Red Maple Villa Complex.

As flavorful meals were put on the dining table, Tang Yunpeng came down from the second floor with a faint smile on his face. Xue Jie helped him sit on the chair as Tang Yunpeng then waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down.

“A sumptuous meal! It’s just as well since I have a good appetite today. Anyways, you want to drink with me?” said Tang Yunpeng smilingly.

“Do you have good wine, big uncle?” Tang Wei’s eyes shone as he replied with a smile.

“Any liquor is good for me right now.” Said Tang Yunpeng smilingly.

From his words, they could tell that he was in a good mood, causing them to immediately smile. Tang Wei run to the kitchen and ordered the maid to bring two bottles of wine.

While looking at Tang Xiu, Tang Yunpeng smiled and said, “Father has agreed to give you the sole authority to handle the matter in Guangyang. Hence, I’ll go back to Xusu Province tonight and give the matters here to you.”

“Rest assured.” Tang Xiu said with a nod.

“Tang Xiu, to be frank, it would have been better if we could have found you earlier.” Tang Yunpeng sighed.

“It’s not too late now, no?” Tang Xiu gave a pale smile.

“Yeah, it’s not too late now. Anyhow, when will you be going to Fukang?” Said Tang Yunpeng with a smile.

“Early in the morning. I will have to analyze our strength in Guangyang and Fukang first. That’s right, since the Bai Family’s head—Bai Yang is being detained, who’s in charge in the Bai Family now?”

“His younger brother, Bai Tao.” Said Tang Yunpeng.

Tang Xiu nodded.

After dinner, Tang Yunpeng left with six Tang Family’s trained bodyguards, leaving only Tang Xiu, Tang Wei, Xue Jie and Li Xiaojie.

“Auntie Xue, tell me all the forces belonging to us in Guangyang and Fukang! Only by knowing our strength will I be able to make good arrangements for the next step of the plan,” Said Tang Xiu.

“Aside from Starlight Group, we are also in control of several small companies, several projects in apparel business, and an advertising company. However, the apparel business’s manager, Li Yuansheng, has passed away in a car accident five days ago. It should be a set-up from the Yao Family. The one managing the advertising company, Wei Yuan, has also encountered attacks. He survived. However, he has to be hospitalized…”

“As for the Fukang Province, our Tang Family has secretly established a security company there. It’s called Jinchen Security Company. The scale is small, but all the security guards there were all trained and nurtured by our Tang Family. They number nearly 120 people; Li Liwei is in charge over there. We also have hardware and real estate businesses in Fukang; they are managed by another person on the surface. But it’s actually controlled by Li Liwei in the shadows…”

“…”

Along with Xue Jie’s explanation, Tang Xiu finally had a clear understanding of the Tang Family’s strength in Guangyang and Fukang. Aside from Starlight Group, the rest of Tang Family’s businesses were small ones. However, in the military force aspect, the Jinchen Security Company was actually a very good one.

Additionally, Tang Yunpeng also left more than forty people in the villa. Half of them were transferred from Jinchen Security Company, while the other half were responsible for the safety of the Starlight Group’s members.

“Auntie Xue, come with me to the Bai Family! At present, their hearts should be restless and shaken, so we need to appease them.” said Tang Xiu.

“But, your big uncle, he has already…” Said Xue Jie.

Raising his hand to interrupt her, Tang Xiu seriously said, “Auntie Xue, big uncle is big uncle, while I am me. Since the authority for Guangyang and Fukang has been transferred to me, I must take a stand toward the Bai Family. That is… to win their hearts!”

Startled inwardly, Xue Jie nodded silently. At the moment, she was getting more and more curious about Tang Xiu. She now realized that the young man before her not only possessed a fierce military force, but was also very intelligent.

Tang Xiu then looked to Tang Wei and said, “Brother, you stay here! Take a break early, but do pay attention to your safety. Command our men to keep their vigilance. The Yao Family has just suffered a big loss today, perhaps this will drive them to take desperate actions. They might take advantage of the darkness in the night to retaliate.”

“Don’t worry!” Tang Wei nodded and said, “I’ll arrange things here properly. But you have to take more people since you’ll go to the Bai Family.”

“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “If my guess is correct, the Yao Family’s men are definitely monitoring this Red Maple Villa Complex. If we leave here in such a conspicuous manner, they will know about it. Auntie Xue and I will leave this place in order to appease the Bai Family. On the other hand, we’ll also find more covert and safer places for tonight. After which, we’ll leave.”

“I understand,” said Tang Wei with a nod.

Immediately after, Tang Xiu and Xue Jie left, taking only two of Xue Jie’s trusted bodyguards. They turned around and secretly left through a secluded wall of the villa, catching a taxi on a nearby street and then quickly leaving.
