“He thought? His underestimating the enemy is because he’s too conceited.” Yao Qingzun angrily fumed, “Earlier we had strongly suppressed the Tang and Bai Families and decimated their forces. Yet, the losses were not as bad as tonight’s. Didn’t Tang Yunpeng leave Guangyang? Who was the one leading the operation tonight?”
“We haven’t investigated it yet.” Yao Chengqing shook his head.
_Bang!_
Yao Qingzun smashed everything on the table and lividly roared, “You haven’t investigated it? The enemy has driven us to such a state, yet you haven’t even investigated the identity of our enemy?”
Lowering his head without speaking, Yao Chengqing and the others didn’t dare to breathe too heavily in such an atmosphere.
Shameful! They were deeply ashamed.
After a good long while, only then did Yao Qingzun took a few deep breaths and snapped, “Get Liang Teng to take some men there. Tell Xinhua that, if he doesn’t make any progress, then get the hell out of there and stop disgracing himself further.”
Liang Teng?
The expressions on Yao Chengqing and several others’ faces changed.
“Father, Liang Teng is our family’s strongest secret expert.” Yao Chengqing hesitated, “If we send him to Guangyang Province, isn’t it akin to treating a major issue lightly? Besides, he’s currently leading our people to guard against the Tang Family in Beijing. If he were to leave and the Tang Family…”
“What would the Tangs do, anyway?” Yao Qingzun waved his hand to interrupt him and harrumphed coldly, “They are nothing but a paper tiger now. They may be able to scare those small families, but will they dare to strike our Yao family so brazenly? Hmph… it’s not like I’m looking down on them, but they wouldn’t dare to attack us even if they had more courage.”
Staying silent for a moment, only then did Yao Chengqing slowly nodded, “All right! I’ll notify Liang Teng to delegate the security work to the others tonight, and then to rush here tomorrow morning.”
Shanghai Airport.
Wearing casual wear, Kang Xia led several employees of the Magnificent Tang Corp to leave the exit gate. A lean statured Su Quan, who looked very intelligent, was tightly carrying a combination-lock black briefcase in his hand.
“This ain’t right.” Glancing around a few times, Su Quan complained to Kang Xia at his side. “Big Boss Tang didn’t even come pick us up?”
Glancing at him, Kang Xia let out a slight smile and said, “We didn’t contact him before coming, to begin with. Let’s go! I’ve booked rooms at the Kapur Hotel, so let’s have a good rest tonight. We’ll participate in the Wine Tasting Conference tomorrow. I’ve spent quite some effort to get our place, so I won’t allow any mistakes to happen.”
“Rest assured, Chief Kang!” Sun Quan said with a smile.
Kang Xia nodded slightly. The group took a taxi and then arrived at the five-star Kapur Hotel. After settling themselves, Kang Xia took a shower and changed her clothes to a beautiful dress before dialing Tang Xiu’s cell number.
“You’ve arrived in Shanghai, Kang Xia?” Tang Xiu’s voice was transmitted from the mobile after the call was connected.
“Yeah, we’ve already settled in the hotel. Anyways, where are you? Are you free now? I wanna see you.” Kang Xia said with a smile.
“I’m currently in Guangyang. I got an important matter to deal with here.” Tang Xiu said, “I’ll go back after finishing it.”
“Guangyang?”
A disappointed expression appeared on Kang Xia’s face. After hesitating for a moment, she then asked, “Boss, what are you doing in Guangyang? The Wine Tasting Conference will be held tomorrow. Can you attend it?”
“I’m afraid not.” Tang Xiu said, “Dealing with the matters here won’t give me any spare time at all.”
“Then your school…” Kang Xia said.
“I’ve properly arranged it, so I don’t need to participate in the military training.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “The new term should be start by the 20th. It should be fine if I go back before class starts. Thus, I’ll have to rely on you to oversee the Wine Tasting Conference’s matter.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll manage it well.” Kang Xia forced a smile.
“All right. That will be all.” Tang Xiu said.
Kang Xia hung up the phone and put down the handbag she just picked up. She then walked toward the window to the see night scene of Shanghai as the feeling of loss inside her heart intensified. She had put down a lot of work this time to leave for Shanghai and personally attend the Wine Tasting Conference. But the main reason was, in fact, because Tang Xiu was here. She wanted to take advantage of the conference to stay with him for a while.
But then, why did he go to Guangyang?
Shaking her head and secretly sighing inside, Kang Xia realized that Tang Xiu was becoming busier to the point that she often couldn’t see him for long periods of time.
Guangyang Province.
Tang Xiu put down the phone and let out a forced, wry smile. How could he not understand what was in Kang Xia’s mind? Were it not because of the Tang family’s matter, he would have had to meet Kang Xia and have a midnight snack.
_Having a beautiful day in such lovely scene with delicacies and a beauty is surely much better than racking my brains to scheme on the enemy here in Guangyang!_
Shaking his head, the anger in Tang Xiu’s heart toward the Yao and Sun Families swelled. He then strode out of the room after a moment of silence and shouted, “Gu Lang, come see me now!”
_Shoo!_
A silhouette came out of another room as Gu Lang appeared in neat clothes. He then respectfully said, “Boss, do you have orders for me?”
Tang Xiu said, “I’m in a bad mood and I can’t sleep. Wanna go out and do some hunting with me?”
