Chapter 371 (2/2)

Startled, Tang Guosheng involuntarily laughed and immediately said, “Since you think so, I’d like to hear about it as well. Call him!”

Half a minute later, Tang Guoshou dialed Tang Xiu’s number. He then smiled and said after Tang Xiu connected the phone, “Xiu’er, Third Grandpa here, where are you now?”

“I’m on the way back to Fukang Province.” Tang Xiu answered.

“Xiu’er I just got the news of what you did. It’s great and amazing.” Tang Guoshou smiled and said, ”The rampant and arrogant Yao Family could be said to have been knocked down by you.”

“Third Grandpa, you can’t be calling just to praise me, right? Please tell me if you have anything to say.” Said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“You’re really smart, kiddo…” Tang Guoshou laughed, “Anyhow, I have a small thing to ask you. The Bai Family’s head has been released this morning. He personally called your first grandpa. But, I’m very curious. Did it have anything to do with you?”

“Yeah, I made a deal with the Huang Family’s head in Fukang when I met him back then. As for the deal, Third Grandpa doesn’t need to ask. I guarantee that it won’t be detrimental to the Tang Family. It’s… just my other business deal, that’s all.”

Astounded, Tang Guoshou said, “The Huang Family’s head, Huang Jinfu, is able to influence the Chu Family’s top figure?”

“It was not only the Huangs I talked with, but also the Sus.” Tang Xiu said, “I don’t have a direct relationship with the Chus, though. So the best choice was to relate though Huang Jinfu, the Huang’s head.”

“How true is that heroes always come from youth since ancient times.” Tang Guoshou’s lips wriggled and sighed, “I’m impressed. Not many people in the world can make this old man impressed, but you did it. You’ve done things beautifully, truly great. Let’s have a drink when you come back to Beijing.”

“All right!” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Tang Guoshou then looked at Tang Guosheng’s strange expression and said, “First Brother, you just heard it, yes? I activated the speaker. It was indeed Tang Xiu’s doing for Bai Yang being able to come out. As for the deal between him and the Chu Family, I didn’t ask much since he didn’t want to say it.”

“Third Brother, did you realize something? Xiu’er is really too mysterious.” Tang Guosheng’s eyes sparkled as he muttered, “I suddenly have a hunch that he has many other secrets hidden from us.”

“Let him do as he wants!” Tang Guoshou grinned, “Regardless of how many secrets he doesn’t want us to know, he’s still an offspring of our Tang Family. He will never do anything to harm the family. I believe no one in our family will oppose even if you directly pass the head position of the Tang Family to him, so long as he has the ability and he’s willing to accept it.”

“You’re right. If he has the ability, the authority of the Family can be handed over to him in the future.” Tang Guosheng laughed, “How can he do something harmful to his own family, anyway? Well, let’s forget about it. If anything, don’t send anyone to investigate it. I believe he’ll tell us about it one day.”

“All right!”

Meanwhile, at the other side, while the Tang Family was celebrating, the Yao Family was in a gloomy mood.

Yao Qingzun looked ashen as silently sat in his study room for a few hours. It was not until noon that he finally strode out of the room.

“Chengqing, notify Liang Teng to come back. Also, send someone to visit the Tang Family. Tell them that we’re sending some tonics since the Tang’s old bastard is unwell.”

“Father, isn’t this just akin to admitting defeat?” Yao Chengqing’s face drastically changed as he hurriedly said, “Our losses in Guangyang are not large despite the Sun Family losing quite a great deal. Besides, we haven’t used our forces in Fukang yet. So, once we launch an assault from there, the odds of the Tang Family preserving their assets in Guangyang and Fukang Province are slim.”

“Yet, until now, you haven’t clearly investigated who took charge of Guangyang for the Tang Family.” Yao Qingzun snorted coldly and said, “With us knowing nothing about the enemy circumstances, how can we calculate our chances of victory if we continue to fight?”

“This…” Yao Qingcheng didn’t know how to answer.

Suddenly, Yao Qingcheng’s mobile’s ringtone rang. As he connected the call and listened to the other party’s words, he fell into silence.

“Really now. What happened again?”

Seeing his son’s silent expression, foreboding arose inside Yao Qingzun’s heart as he sonorously said.

“Bai Yang has been released.” Yao Qingcheng said bitterly, “The first and second figures of Guangyang signed and authorized it simultaneously. Furthermore, there were also some people speaking for him in Beijing.”

Yao Qingzun’s expression changed. He fell into silence for a good deal of time before he suddenly smiled, though rather unsightly, “What a good Tang Family, eh. Little did I think that they would conceal themselves so deeply. I’m afraid it would be a bit difficult to bring them down as long as that Tang’s old geezer has yet to die. Forget it! We’ve already tested the waters, anyway. Just do what I’ve told you before.”

“All right!” Yao Chengqing nodded silently.

As he was about to leave, Yao Qingzun shouted imposingly, “Remember, even if the battle over there is over, you must investigate clearly who was the person in charge of Guangyang Province.”

“Affirmative! I’ll do it according to your instructions.”
