Chapter 637: A Sudden Incident

Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze

With the improvement of their family condition, Su Lingyun had always been wishing to give something to her son. Even if the others were oblivious to the matter, it was something crystal clear to her how sorrowful and hard the days they had gone through all these years.

Tang Xiu hugged Su Lingyun’s shoulders and smilingly said, “Thank you, Mom. Even if you don’t give me a dime, I’m still very happy and satisfied as long as I can celebrate the New Year with you every year.”

“Silly boy!” Su Lingyun stroked Tang Xiu’s head and said with a smile, “Let’s go inside! It’s started snowing outside.”

The present Tang Family had a mental and spiritual fortitude that was different from before. In the past, it was they had a knot that burdened them, always wary, tense, and always vigilant to the threat posed by the Yao Family—for fear that because of their negligence, an incident would occur at any time. Now, however, the Yao Family had become a thing of the past, the once behemoth had collapsed, making all the members of the Tang Family breathe a sigh of relief.

Nevertheless, the threat brought by the Yao Family all these years had also made the members of the Tang Family deeply comprehended one thing, that was, to be a monolithic whole and keep the family together. To make the Tang Family more and more powerful in the future, it was necessary for them to… unite.

One for all and all for one. All is withered when one is dried up, for one’s glory is everyone’s honor.

Though the Tang Family had ruined the Yao Family, it did not mean that they could relax as of yet. There were numerous prominent families in the capital and the power constellation was always complicated. At present, there were still a few powerful families in existence that could pose a threat to the Tang Family, and it was unknown how many forces were staying low-key and hidden in the dark. Therefore, though the members of the Tang Family did feel relaxed, they did not ease their vigilance and neither did they let go of their alertness.

Tang Xiu himself was very satisfied with the current situation the Tang Family was in at present. He stayed with his parents in Beijing for three days before returning back to Star City. Although the family of three did not celebrate the New Year in Star City in these three days, they had prepared a lot of New Year’s gifts; not to mention that Mu Qingping had also returned home prior to them. Hence, the family of three returned to South Gate Town with warm feelings.

The light of day receded and was replaced by dusk. Just as the family was preparing to have dinner, Tang Xiu received a call from Kang Xia. The happy expression on his face vanished after the phone call ended, as several points of intense killing intent replaced it.

“Mom, Dad, I need to go out to tend to something.” Tang Xiu got up and grabbed his coat.

Surprised, Tang Yunde asked, “Is it very important that you can’t even join us for dinner?”

“It’s a bit of emergency indeed,” said Tang Xiu. “A top executive of my company had a car accident, so I must catch up and have a look at his situation.”

“Then be careful on the road, son.” Tang Yunde nodded and said, “Do call me if something else happens.”

After replying, Tang Xiu quickly left the villa and drove towards Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. When he arrived at the hospital’s operating room, he found many security guards from the Magnificent Tang Corporation standing guard in the corridor; some of them were Kang Xia’s private bodyguards. They stood at the entrance to the operation with solemn expressions, and they watched the situation around in vigilance.

“How is he, Kang Xia?” Tang Xiu strode over and asked.

Upon seeing Tang Xiu, Kang Xia immediately spoke with a bitter expression, “His injuries are very severe. I have been noticed that he’s in a critical state and the doctor told me to be mentally prepared since the possibility he can be saved is… minuscule.”

“What about the two bodyguards who are responsible of protecting Dai Qiang? Have they been found?” Asked Tang Xiu in a heavy voice.

“No, not yet.” Kang Xia shook her head. “I immediately rushed here with these men the moment I got the news. I already sent people to investigate it and they have yet to come back. However, we lost contact with two since we can’t connect to their phones. We also have contacted their family, and they do not know where they went either.”

A cold glint flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes. It was easy to judge that the car accident that happened to Dai Qiang was definitely an accident, but a pre-planned assassination had been prepared for a long time. As far as he knew, Dai Qiang had a total of four bodyguards who worked in shifts of two. The four of them had been trained by experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall, and five ordinary people would not be able to contend with them. The most important thing was that these two bodyguards had very professional work ethics, and they naturally kept their phones on 24/7. Now that they have gone missing and their phone couldn’t be contacted, it would only mean one thing: they had met a misfortune accident!

“Any particular situation happened in the company as of recently?” Asked Tang Xiu. “Or, did some issues emerged that Dai Qiang encountered?”

“Dai Qiang once mentioned it to me last year. He said that someone had contacted him and wanted to privately buy a large bulk of Gods Nectar from him. You also know that Dai Qiang is the Director of the Magnificent Tang Corporation’s Winery and there have been a lot of people who want to see him, asking to open the back door in order to buy Gods Nectar in private. That’s why I did not take it seriously at first, but I did feel that the number ordered by that person was kind of quite a lot. Dai Qiang refused that person’s request and then received a threat from the other party.”

“Who is this man?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“He’s from the Southern Region, the owner of an electronic fabs in Guangyang Province, someone surnamed Qian,” elaborated Kang Xia. “I already assigned some people to investigate the details on this man surnamed Qian half an hour ago, but there’s no result as of yet.”

“Let’s wait for the news, then. I’ll go inside to see his situation.” Tang Xiu nodded.

Having said that, he strode inside the operating room. There he saw seven doctors wearing surgical robes currently performing surgery on Dai Qiang; the hands of the chief surgeon were covered with blood.

“Who let you inside? Get out quickly!”

A female doctor who had just transferred to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital reprimanded him with knitted brows. Immediately, the other doctors in the operating room turned their heads and had their vision land on Tang Xiu’s face.
