After Tang Xiu hung up the phone, he looked at the curious expression on Tang Wei and Xue Jie’s faces. He showed a pale smile and said, “Relax! Though I only called ten individuals, they are comparable to fifty or even a hundred people. Our next operation must be successful.”

“Are they the Huang Family’s people?” Xue Jie probed.

“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “They are my men.”

“I don’t quite understand what you mean, Tang Xiu.” Xue Jie was perplexed and said, “Did you say that they are your men? Do you train some people as well?”

“Yes. I indeed have been training some people.” Tang Xiu said with a pale smile, “I already started my own business before I recognized the ancestors of our family. Without picking up my own people, continuing the business would be a very difficult thing to do.”

“You actually have been running your own business?” Xue Jie was astonished.

Tang Wei chimed in, “Auntie Xue, this matter is only known by a few in the family. As a matter of fact, this brother of mine had already set up a company and started a business when he was still in high school, before the family found him. Don’t look down on him. Even the renowned Kang Xia, the world’s most amazing gold manager, is the one helping my brother’s work.”

“Kang Xia?” Xue Jie cried out involuntarily, “Tang Xiu, that means, you’re the Magnificent Tang Corporation’s… Boss?”

“That’s right.” Tang Xiu smilingly said, “The Magnificent Tang Corp is indeed my company. But I just started it and have invested a lot of capital. So it hasn’t had any profit yet.”

At this moment, the way Xue Jie looked at Tang Xiu was completely different than before.

She admitted and admired Tang Xiu for his strategy, resourcefulness, and military force. But in regard to business, she thought that she was more skillful than him. However, never once did she imagine that Tang Xiu was actually the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corp; even Kang Xia agreed to work for him.

Who was Kang Xia? She was the gold manager whom all businessmen in China longed for in their dreams. Her reputation in the business world was more resounding than any Big Bosses of the listed companies.

“Amazing!”

Even though Xue Jie had a thousand words she wanted to say, she eventually could only speak this out.

Tang Xiu only let an indifferent smile in response and then said, “All of you go rest. I need to think about the operation plan. We’ll act tonight should there we receive any information from the Huang Family.”

“You’re going to take the initiative?” Xue Jie was astonished.

“The best form of defense in the world is always offense, to begin with.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “We did obtain a victory yesterday, but the Yao and Sun Families won’t buy it. Thus, we shall take the initiative to strike in this kind of situation. And this is exactly the best time.”

Xue Jie and Tang Wei exchanged looks as they nodded in unison. They could tell that Tang Xiu’s argument was reasonable. In war, one should catch one’s enemy with a surprise attack.

Two hours later, Tang Xiu came out of the room. He had devised a combat plan according to his knowledge about the situation of the Yao and Sun Families’ forces. He dared not say the plan was perfect. Yet, he had confidence that, as long as the operation plan was executed well, it would bring about an enormous blow to the Yao and Sun Families.

“Tang Xiu, the ten men have arrived.” After seeing Tang Xiu coming out, Xue Jie, who had long been waiting outside the room, quickly reported.

Nodding and handing over the operation plan to her, Tang Xiu said, “Have a look at this first. If you think there’s no problem with it, we’ll commence the action according to this plan. All right, I’ll see them first.”

Tang Xiu then left the building. As he arrived outside, he saw a row of ten men standing straight as javelins. He secretly nodded inside.

“Who among you is Gu Lang (Lone Wolf)?”

“I’m Gu Lang. Reporting to the Boss!” A lean man took a step forward and respectfully said.

“I’m very satisfied in your speed.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Go rest now and wait for the next order tonight.”

“Yes!” Gu Lang replied in a deep tone.

As dusk descended, Huang Bingcheng sent someone to deliver the collected information gathered by their intelligence, which was more detailed than Xue Jie’s. After Tang Xiu and the others read them, he made some revisions to the previously devised combat plan.

“Brother, everything has been set. We’re now awaiting your order.”

Tang Wei strode in from the outside as he spoke in a deep tone.

Tang Xiu nodded. As he came outside the building and saw the five rows of men with ten men in each row, he then nodded with satisfaction and said, “You’ve already seen the combat plan devised by me. Tonight, we’ll be divided into three squads. One squad of 20 men will be led by Li Xiaojie to attack the first and second targets. Gu Lang will lead another squad of 20 men to strike the third and fourth targets. While I will personally lead a squad of ten men to strike the fifth and sixth targets. Tonight’s mission is to capture these six strongholds of the Yao and Sun Families and destroy their family businesses with lightning speed.

“The cars and weapons have all been prepared. In order to reduce casualties, we’ll employ sneak attacks. Try not to use the guns as far as possible if the enemy has yet to detect us.”

“We’ll begin the operation at ten hundred sharp. After you have arrived at your target location, clearly scout the specific situation of the targets and report to me at any time should there be any unusual situation!”

Immediately after, Tang Xiu waved his arm as Li Xiaojie and Gu Lang’s squads quickly drove away from the factory.

Standing beside Tang Xiu, Tang Wei seriously said, “Brother, I must take part in the battle. I’ll follow your squad. You and I both are members of the Tang Family! If you can go forth to battle, likewise, I can do it too.”
