Chapter 115 Deserving to Be Single (1/2)

There was not a sound in the morgue, and the smell of formalin filled every inch of space. Time seemed to stand still, no longer flowing.

Huai Kebing lay on a bier, covered in a white shroud, from head to foot. He couldn't carry the wealth, the status, the vanity, the women, the house or the car that he had. At this point, he no longer owned anything.

What would a king who had everything in life take with him when he died?

In the end, all he got was a pit and a pile of dirt.

At that moment, the door of the morgue opened and a man and a woman came in through the door.

The woman wore a white Chinese Tang costume and held a bunch of white chrysanthemums. She was in her early fifties, but her figure and skin were so well maintained that she looked like a woman in her thirties, still retaining a graceful bearing. Her face remained expressionless, her eyes hollow.

This woman was Huai Kebing's mother, Tang Huaiyu.

The most painful thing for a woman was losing her child. She was now in this agony that tore at her. However, unlike other bereaved women, she did not weep or stagger sadly. She just stood at the bier, looking quietly at her son, who was covered by the shroud, without making a sound, quiet as a wax figure.

Tang Jiu, who accompanied Tang Huaiyu to come over, stood in silence for several minutes. Finally he could not stand the weird atmosphere, and warily asked, ”Senior Sister, do you want me to lift it and let you have a look at Young Master?”

Tang Huaiyu was silent.

”Senior Sister?”

Tang Huaiyu just made a sound. ”Hmm.”

Tang Jiu continued, ”I'll lift the cloth and you see Young Master one last time, okay?”

Tang Huaiyu nodded.

Tang Jiu carefully removed a quarter of the shroud.

Huai Kebing's face and neck exposed, which were black and puffy, completely deformed, like a mushroom. His eyes were open in anger, which showed that he died a bitter man.

Tang Jiu said, ”I recognized the flying needles and poison darts. They are all our Tang Sect's poison hidden weapons. But I didn't tell the police about it. If the police know that the hidden weapons come from our Tang Sect, we'll be in trouble.” After a pause, he added, ”I consulted the family head about this, and he agreed not to tell the police that the hidden weapons were ours or what the poison was in Young Master.”

Tang Huaiyu looked at her big-headed son on the bier and said, ”Our Tang Sect's two poison needles can kill a man, and so can one dart. Why did the murderer stab my son with so many needles and darts? Tell me, how much he hates my son.”

Tang Jiu couldn't answer that. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look into Tang Huaiyu's empty eyes.

Tang Huaiyu asked, ”Haven't you heard anything yet about grandmaster?”

Tang Jiu shook his head and replied, ”No, not so far.”

”Is the sky falling? Then fall down,” Tang Huaiyu said to herself. Then she went over to the bier and put the bouquet of white chrysanthemums on Huai Kebing's chest, then leaned over and kissed his forehead.

Huai Kebing wouldn't feel anything. He kept his eyes open in anger, dying dissatisfied.

Tang Huaiyu put her hand over Huai Kebing's eyes and whispered, ”Son, I know you died with everlasting regret. You're alone it the netherworld... You can rest assured that I will avenge you. Just close your eyes.”

She brushed her hand softly across Huai Kebing's eyelids.

Huai Kebing's angry eyes closed.

Tang Huaiyu put the shroud back in place, which covered Huai Kebing's face.

Seconds later, Tang Huaiyu took out a mobile phone and dialed a number. She choked up as the call came through. ”How long are you going to avoid it? Our Tang family's sky is falling...”

After the charity party, Ning Tao sent Zhao Wushuang and Fan Huaying to the hotel.

In this charity auction, Ning Tao sold 18 bottles of delicate perfumed cream for 100,000 yuan each, a total of 1.8 million yuan, but that was not the full income of the charity party. Several wealthy businessmen and celebrities made generous donations after Ning Tao cured them.

After Ning Tao's acupuncture treatment, the wealthy businessman with an old prostate problem peed straightly in the bathroom, which he had not been able to do for more than 30 years, and he was so excited that he donated one million yuan. That rich businessman, who had a blood clot on his leg, donated 500,000, because all pain in his sick leg disappeared and his legs stopped limping after Ning Tao practiced acupuncture treatment for him. Also those stars, who proved Ning Tao's amazing medical skill, donated generously, with a total donation of 2.3 million yuan. Add in the 1.8 million yuan from selling delicate perfumed cream, the total income for the charity party was 4.1 million yuan. It was a complete success.

Ning Tao took Zhao Wushuang to the door of her room and said to her and Fan Huaying, ”Wushuang, Huaying, it's getting late. Have an early night, and it's time for me to go back.”

Fan Huaying laughed and joked, ”You're burning your bridges. Wushuang and I have been working all night on your charity party, and you're leaving without a drink?”

Ning Tao said awkwardly, ”I was worried you were tired.”

Zhao Wushuang laughed. ”I have to fly to the set early tomorrow morning. We rarely meet, so just have a drink and a chat with me before you go.”

Ning Tao agreed, ”Well, I'll stay and have a drink and a chat with you.”

Fan Huaying offered, ”I'll get the wine. You go in first.”

Ning Tao said, ”Okay, we'll be waiting for you.”

Zhao Wushuang opened the door with the room card, and behind the door was a grand presidential suite with a bubble bath near the large balcony, so guests could enjoy the bubble bath while enjoying the view of Shan City. Only big stars like Zhao Wushuang could afford such rooms. If it were Ning Tao who stayed in a hotel, he would choose the cheapest standard room.

”Brother Ning, you sit down first. I'm going to change,” Zhao Wushuang said. She was still wearing the charity party dress, which was too flashy and formal for friends to drink.

Ning Tao replied, ”Go ahead. It's a nice place. I'll look out on the balcony.”
