Chapter 762 (2/2)

Tang Xiu let out a faint smile. The pill he used was the Holy Healing medicine he got from Ji Chimei. Though he only had a few Holy Healing medicines left, it was a remedy for cultivators, to begin with. So how would its effect be defeated by such a mere Darkening Virus?

As a matter of fact, after Ji Chimei followed Gu Yan’er to Earth and her interspatial ring got destroyed in the space tempest and lost all her goods, but once she used an Immortal-rank cauldron to concoct medicinal pills, the worst rank she could refine would highly likely be immortal-rank pills.

“Where are those people now, big sis?” Tang Xiu got up and asked with a smile.

“Come with me!” Tang Han said, “They are staying in the dormitory in the martial training field, and are now gathering in the training field.”

A few minutes later, Tang Han took Tang Xiu, followed by Mo Awu and the others to come to the martial arts training field of the Tang Manor Martial School. At this moment, in addition of the 206 core members of the martial school, there were also twelve trusted subordinates who had been trained by Tang Han there. These people were all genuine expert martial artists. Though no one among them had reached the martial arts grandmaster level yet, their strength was still a force to be reckoned with.

“Freshwater.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tang Xiu took the clear water Mo Awu gave him and then poured a half-pill of Holy Healing medicine into it.

Tang Han’s expression this time was very solemn as she said with a deep voice, “Everyone, some of you may already know this guy beside me, while some others may not. Whether you know him or not, now I need to tell you that he’s my younger cousin, Tang Xiu, who was assigned by the family to solve the problem of the infectious disease.

“Do keep in mind that this medicine is extremely rare, so I can only have my closest and most trusted people take it. Hence, you are not allowed to spread out this matter to anyone once you take the medicine, and completely solve the infectious disease that has plagued us!”

Everyone looked pleasantly surprised. They had been plagued and troubled by the Darkening Virus, driving them into a true despair. Though they could still temporarily suppress the deterioration of their bodies caused by the virus with the static electricity, it was but only a glimmer of hope.

But now, they finally realized that the crisis would be resolved, guaranteeing their safety.

As the Holy Healing medicine was dissolved and everyone took it, Tang Han immediately dismissed all of them. She knew what the consequences would be after taking the medicine, and naturally did not want to see the embarrassment of her subordinates, and neither did she want to smell the foul stench.

After returning to Tang Han’s study room, Tang Xiu, who just sat down, asked, “Sis, do you know who’s the wealthiest and the most powerful man on Mist Source Island, someone with a Miao surname?”

“Miao Hengfu?” Tang Han interjected with a surprised expression. “Why are you asking about him?”

A cold glint flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes as he said, “The spoiled son’s mistakes can never be separated from the teaching of his father! His son Miao Wenlei was simply a beast, but I already killed him with his thugs. Hmph… I’ve already done it, so I might as well weed out the source of the trouble for good.”

With a tongue-tied and dumbfounded face, Tang Han looked at Tang Xiu for a long while before she let out a wry smile and said, “Brother, if you still can… Ah, forget it. You’ve done it already, and weeding out the source of trouble for good will be for the best indeed. Actually, it’s not like his father spared no rod to discipline his spoiled son, but rather the contrary—it’s like father like son. Miao Hengfu is a ruthless, merciless, and cunning man. I don’t know how many people he has harmed all these years, but even if the government want to get rid of him, they have never found any evidence that he was behind those evil deeds, hence why he always comes out scot-free. Besides, there’s also someone else behind his back!”

Tang Xiu frowned and asked, “Someone else behind him? Who is it?”

“It’s someone from the Mu Family of Beijing, Mu Jianhua,” answered Tang Han.

“What!?” Tang Xiu exclaimed.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Xiu was puzzled. “Though the Mus are quite powerful and have some influence in the capital, they are still inferior to our Tang Family, no? It’s not like they are worthy enough to make you fuss over about it!”

Tang Xiu hesitant for a while before he forced out a smile and said, “I won’t make a fuss over it if it’s only the Mu Family. But the problem is… Ugh, that Mu Jianhua is my future father-in-law.”

Pfft… Hahaha! Tang Han laughed and was at a loss whether she had to cry or laugh, “I gotta say you’re really great, Brother! To think that you even captured the renowned Capital’s First Belle—Mu Wanying, that was really unexpected, you know. Regardless, though… Hahaha… it’s like you just fought with a stranger only to know that he’s your relative in the end. Well, you actually killed the son of a man whose patron is your future father-in-law, and I dare say your future father-in-law will go all out to fight you if you also kill Miao Hengfu.”

Somehow, Tang Xiu felt a bit helpless inside and just forced a wry smile as he said, “It can’t go far to that extent, can it?”

“How could it not be?” Tang Han smilingly refuted. “Mu Jianhua is just good-for-nothing trash in the eyes of the other members of the Mu Family. Even if his old man is the patriarch of the Mu Family, there is no way he will inherit that position. I think you should learn something about your future father-in-law. This guy is simply… well, let me tell you something! If you kill Miao Hengfu, that will be akin to destroying your future father-in-law’s biggest source of income, and it would be strange if he wouldn’t lose all decorum with you.”

“I don’t get it,” Tang Xiu frowned. “If Mu Jianhua has such a money source from Miao Hengfu, how come he asks money from his daughter to pay his debts?”

There was a surprised expression on Tang Han’s face, but she immediately replied, “I think you may have underestimated the profligacy of your future father-in-law, Brother. People might not be aware, but just three years ago, I heard that Mu Jianhua was in the casino city, Las Vegas, and lost more than six hundred million yuan at a time.”

“Holy cow…”

Tang Xiu was really taken aback by how big Mu Jianhua’s deeds were.
