Chapter 569 (2/2)

Tang Guosheng’s expression changed, and a disbelieving expression cast on his face. Even the other members of the Tang Family in the surrounding were all dumbfounded as they stared at Tang Xiu.

Killing Yao Qingzun?

The smile on Tang Xiu’s face disappeared and was replaced by a ruthlessness as he said in a heavy voice, “Yao Qingzun is the pillar of the Yao Family. If he is gone then this pillar will be lost as well. Yao Chengqing and Yao Chengdong are the successors from the next generation since the both of them are the ones who are really in charge of the power of the family. With Yao Chengqing having met his demise, then there’s only Yao Chengdong left. With that said, it’s difficult to make a boat from a single piece of wood, thus the Yao Family is not far from decline.”

Tang Guosheng was silent before slowly nodding, “You can do it, but you must carry it out with neither the gods nor ghosts aware of it. Are you sure you have the confidence to do it?”

“No problem.” Tang Xiu nodded without a shred of hesitation.

In the dim moonlight of the night, two ghostly figures silently appeared in the Yao Family’s ancestral residence. Hardly with any effort, Tang Xiu and Dark had appeared outside the house where Yao Qingzun lived.

Pu! Pu!

A sharp dagger tore the throats of two experts of the Yao Family hidden outside the house, as Dark then put their bodies in a dark corner.

Cough! Cough!

Inside the house, the sounds of the coughing indicated that Yao Qingzun had not gone to sleep yet.

“Enter!”

Tang Xiu nodded slightly and opened the door. In no time, Tang Xiu and Dark had appeared before Yao Qingzun’s bedside.

“If you are not asleep yet, get up and let’s have a talk!”

Tang Xiu’s voice was very calm. The moment Yao Qingzun opened his eyes, he had already walked to the rattan chair across the bed and lit up a cigarette for himself.

Yao Qingzun abruptly jumped up and sat as a horrified expression filled his eyes. He turned on the light on the bedside and sternly shouted after seeing Tang Xiu and Dark, “WHO ARE YOU, PEOPLE?”

Tang Xiu pointed his own cheek and lightly smiled, “You should have seen this face of mine, no? The person you hate the most should be me, am I right?”

Yao Qingzun’s pupils flickered and then coldly said after seeing Tang Xiu’s face, “Are you Tang Xiu?”

“That’s right, it’s me!” A smile outlined on the corner of Tang Xiu’s mouth as he smoked his cigarette.

Yao Qingzun was silent for more than ten seconds before he slowly closed his eyes with a despairing expression within. After a while, he opened his eyes and bitterly said, “Can you tell me something? Who was it that killed my son and my grandson, and… also the Amur Tiger?”

“Who do you think?” Replied Tang Xiu with a chuckle. “Who else could it be in the Tang Family who has that ability except me?”

“You’re right. There’s no one among the Tang Family who has this kind of ability.” Yao Qingzun nodded. “Tell me! Do you want to claim my life for coming here this late?”

“Old but not dying, you should really die as soon as possible rather than staying alive.” Tang Xiu sighed. “You’ve lived for more than 80 years, and though sometimes you’re very muddleheaded, yet you can be very smart other times as well. That’s right, today next year will be the anniversary of your death. This is indeed the purpose of me coming here.”

“Then kill me if you want to!” Yao Qingzun let out a mirthless smile as he straightened up his chest and replied.

“Do you have any last wishes?” Asked Tang Xiu. “You can tell me and I’ll help you achieve them. Of course, my grandfather also said that, although you’re his lifetime adversary, he does not wish for you to die without dignity. Hence, I won’t make you suffer before dying.”

Yao Qingzun was silent for a moment before replying, “I can die, but can you spare the rest of my family?”

“Of course. I don’t have a problem with that. But I also have a condition,” said Tang Xiu.

“What condition?” Asked Yao Qingzun.

“Order Yao Chengdong to resign from his position,” answered Tang Xiu.

“Are you trying to push my family to the end of our only line with nowhere to go?” Shouted Yao Qingzun angrily.

“Hmph, can this be counted as pushing your family to a situation where you have nowhere else to go?” Tang Xiu coldly snorted. “You yourself have employed everything including inviting the Amur Tiger in an attempt to drive away the Tang Family from China! Don’t tell me it’s not that extreme already, huh?”

Upon hearing this, Yao Qingzun’s breath paused. What Tang Xiu said was true. For the Tang Family, who possessed great assets and enterprises in China, driving them away from the country was akin to making them struggle and fend for themselves and perish abroad, and it was highly likely that their fate would not be good as well.

“I’ll call him!”
