Chapter 574 (2/2)

In particular, the smile on Tang Guosheng’s face was also very bright. The Yao and Tang Families were sworn, mortal enemies, and all the families with a bit of power in the country were also aware of the situation between them. The news of the Tang Family having devastated the Yao Family’s forces and compelled Yao Qingzun to death had naturally spread out and created a sensation.

The Tang Family, however, did not announce any news to the outside, whereas the information on the documents pertaining the deeds of the Yao Family was released by Tang Yunqing in secret. They could even guarantee that no one from those families and forces would be able to investigate and trace the source back to the Tang Family.

“Those people don’t want us to ruthlessly eradicate the Yao Family, hence we’ll stay idle on our boat amid the storm and calmly watch the tense situation in the capital. The Yao Family… hmph, to cut a grass without roots will only need the coming breeze of the spring. God knows what kind of talented people will spring up in the Yao Family, but who knows to what extent they can slowly restore themselves in this situation? Everyone knows that keeping this family in existence is akin to keeping a disaster alive.”

“You’re right, Big Brother.” Tang Guoshou repeatedly nodded. “The Yao Family has too deep a foundation, hence we must cut off their rear as far as possible so that they won’t be able to recover from this situation.”

“Even after resorting to using that information, had the Yao Family not been that powerful for so many years and many of their family members not having offended and strong-armed too many people before, I’m afraid that no one would be willing to take the initiative to stand up against the Yao Family at all.” Tang Guosheng sighed, “When heaven sends calamities down, there’s hope of weathering them, but when a man brings them upon himself, there’s no hope of escaping them whatsoever!”

Amid the conversation between the three elders of the Tang Family, the mobile phone in front of Tang Guosheng suddenly rang.

“Speak…”

After looking at the caller’s name, Tang Guosheng immediately spoke in a loud voice.

“Senior Tang, a junior of the Yao Family, Yao Xindi, was gravely injured by a junior from the Wang Family and was taken to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, Yao Xindi’s father, Yao Chengheng, was hit by a speeding car on the roadside near a specialties store and shouldn’t be able to be rescued.” A deep and low voice transmitted from the phone.

Tang Guosheng’s pupils contracted and he was silent for two minutes, before he slowly replied, “Keep watching. I need to know all the news about the Yao Family first hand.”

“Understood!”

After hanging up, Tang Guosheng looked at the others and spoke, “The first family has finally jumped out to strike the Yao Family. Yao Chengheng was hit by a car, and his son Yao Xindi was severely beaten by a junior from the Wang Family. It seems that the Wang Family is the one who hates the Yao Family the most aside from us.”

“Interesting, this is really interesting.” Tang Guosheng laughed strangely. “I once heard that Yao Chengheng had a grudge with that kid from the Wang Family during the construction of Jinhua Shopping Center, and several clashes broke out between them after that. I have a feeling that the Wang Family doesn’t have the courage to directly clash with the Yao Family alone. Perhaps they have collaborated with one or more other families. Let’s wait, I’m sure that soon some people will jump out and strike at the Yao Family.”

Sure enough, another incident occurred less than an hour after Yao Chengheng was hit by a car and Yao Xindi was beaten. An upscale club on the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing suddenly caught on fire. An important member who was responsible for the venue was killed in the fire along with seven or eight experts of the Yao Family and two of their financial accountants.

Following that, a few group companies under the Yao Family’s flag were allegedly held responsible for tax evasion and defrauding their revenues and were forced to pay rectification. Some were closed down after failing to pass the required fire control measures standard after the inspection from the Fire Control Bureau.

Some project sites under the Yao Family were also heavily inspected and checked for serious quality problems. The workers were driven away and the construction sites were sealed up. Series of measures were then employed, giving heavy blows to the Yao Family.

These news flew like snowflakes to the Tang Family. In just two days, the losses suffered by the Yao Family were enormous. It was heard that the new Head of the Yao Family—Yao Chengdong even had his hairs turned white overnight due to worry and restlessness.

Tang Xiu, who was in Shanghai, had been following the situation in the capital as well. When the Tang Family first began their assault on the Yao Family, he already guessed that the Yaos wouldn’t be able to pass this hurdle.

As far as enemies were concerned, Tang Xiu never had any mercy. Had it not been because of the urging from his grandfather, he wouldn’t have to borrow others’ knives for killing and eradicating the Yao Family. But seeing such a colossal force begin to crack without wasting an ounce of his strength, he was still delighted nonetheless.

Shanghai University’s male students’ dormitory.

When Tang Xiu hung up in a good mood, Hu Qingsong suddenly ran inside. When he saw Tang Xiu sitting in front of the bookcase, he immediately asked, “Big Bro Tang, I’m gonna buy something outside, are you coming with me?”

“What are you going to buy?” Asked Tang Xiu.

Hu Qingsong grinned, “Don’t ask, alright? I’m very happy now, so are you coming with me or not? I guarantee you will definitely be satisfied!”

Tang Xiu put away his phone as he got up and smilingly said, “Since you said that, then I’ll go with you! Beware, though. If the place doesn’t satisfy me, then dinner’s gonna be on you!”

“No problem!” Hu Qingsong straightened up his chest and guaranteed.
