There was no absolute in the world. The firm determination displayed by Qian Xingwang was destroyed in just half a minute. He couldn’t even stand longer than Chen Cheng, and everything he confessed was more detailed than Chen Cheng’s, even vowing under the name of his ancestors for eight generations.
“The Stygian Club, the Varro Family, Beaufort.”
While holding a cup of hot tea and sitting next to a luxurious bed, Tang Xiu’s eyes fell on the sleeping Kang Xia, yet they did not focus on her. He was no stranger to the Stygian Club and had even sent some people of the Everlasting Feast Hall to investigate this organization before. He already knew the goal of this organization. The Varro Family was one of the Dark Council’s members and they had a total of six family members in this council. Beaufort was one them and had a very big influence there.
Qian Xingwang pledged his loyalty to Beaufort since 20 years ago and was his competent lackey. It was also Beaufort who had been eyeing the product formulas of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, so he ordered Qian Xingwang as his representative in China to attempt to steal them personally.
For the time being, Tang Xiu did not plan to go abroad, instead, he issued an order to the Everlasting Feast Hall: Assassinate Beaufort and do not leave any trace of who did it.
“How long have I slept?” Kang Xia woke up from her sleep. As she found that Tang Xiu was sitting on the bedside, she asked with a brightly smiling face.
Tang Xiu came back to his senses. He looked at the time and smilingly replied, “It’s already 12 at noon. You’ve been sleeping for a long time, so off you go to have a shower, would you? We’ll go to the dining room for a meal.”
Finding that she was asleep for that long surprised Kang Xia. But she was more concerned about the results of last night and quickly asked, “How things are with Qian Xingwang?”
“He spilled everything he knows,” said Tang Xiu with a nod.
“Who was instructing him?” Asked Kang Xia again.
“A power overseas. I’ve sent people to remove the man behind the scene, so we can say that this matter has come to an end, albeit for the time being,” answered Tang Xiu. “However, we need to strengthen the security forces of the Magnificent Tang Corporation. I will allocate some money to Tie Zhongkui to register a formal security company which will be responsible to form a new security force later. After this security company is on the right track, all the company’s security personnel must go to this security company for comprehensive training.”
Kang Xia nodded and said, “Our business will become bigger and bigger in the future, so having a lot of security personnel is inevitable to ensure the safety of our properties. Just tell me directly if you have something you want me to do.”
“Alright. Just go and have a shower!” Tang Xiu patted her shoulder and smiled.
After the lunch, Kang Xia left, then Tang Xiu took Mo Awu to the Walled Hill Village construction site. After watching the lively scene there, he was satisfied with the Long Family’s working efficiency. Without wasting too much time, he found Long Zhengyu, who was in the shed having a meeting with the foreman.
“How come you are here, Tang Xiu?” Long Zhengyu concluded the meeting temporarily and greeted him with a smile.
Tang Xiu then said his purpose in coming here, “South Gate Town villa complex was developed and is managed by your family through its property management company. I just wanna ask, have all the villas in South Gate Town been sold? If there’s still a villa for sale I’m willing to buy it for 10% above the market price.”
Long Zhengyu thought for a while before he let out a wry smile and say, “Did you really came here personally just to ask about this matter? If you really did, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, mate. The villas in South Gate Town are all sold out. Also, I don’t know about the property management there. You better ask Xueyao for that.”
Tang Xiu forced a smile and shook his head before taking his mobile phone to call Long Xueyao. What he didn’t expect was that she told him that there were several owners of the villas in South Gate Town who were prepared to sell their properties there, and one of them was Tang Xiu’s neighbor.
“I want all of them.” Tang Xiu told Long Xueyao on the phone and hurried back to the South Gate Town. After he met her, he asked her to make an appointment to meet the owners. Originally, he intended to buy the properties 10% above the market price, but the price offered by three owners was actually slightly lower than the market price.
Afterward, other than the Kingview Villa, Tang Xiu also bought Villa No. 10, 13, and 14. Finally, Tang Xiu also set his eyes on the Villa No. 11 and 12, since he thought that if he also bought these two villas, all the villas in the innermost part of South Gate Town complex would all become his property.
After completing all the formalities and paying the full amount of money for the villas’ purchase, Tang Xiu spoke to Long Xueyao, who came out with him from the Housing Administration Bureau, “Your Property Management Office should have the contact number of those Villa No. 11 and 12’s owners, right? Help me to get in touch with them, I also want to buy their villas in these two days.”
Seeing Tang Xiu purchasing three villas in one breath like this had already shocked Long Xueyao. She was immediately speechless now that Tang Xiu saying that he had his eyes set on the Villa No. 11 and 12 as well. For one to be able to buy a villa was already amazing; a well-off person, so to say. But he directly bought several of them in a bulk!
“Tang Xiu, are you going to buy all the villas in South Gate as a whole or something? At that time, our Property Management Company will be very relaxed in our job since we’re only responsible to manage the sole owner, you!” Joked Long Xueyao.
“I don’t have much money, unfortunately, though, since I really do have this idea.” Tang Xiu raised his hand to touch his nose and grinned. “South Gate Town has a good location so if I could transform it into a castle, that will be more magnificent and stylish, no?”
“Do you really have this idea?” Asked Long Xueyao, being at a loss whether she had to cry or laugh.
“I’m just kidding,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I’d rather go directly to another place to invest that money if I had that much. Anyways, I did not joke with you, I really want to buy Villa No. 11 and 12. Help me out with this, and I’ll treat you to a meal if it’s successful, okay?”
