Chapter 61: The Tang Family Banquet
Fang Yu did this for two reasons: first, to avoid the trouble of dealing with the corpses, and second, to create trouble for Li Zhengrong.
Those guns were clearly obtained illegally, and the patrol officers would inevitably trace their source, as well as the identities of that group of people.
As a result, Li Zhengrong would definitely be implicated.
…
For Li Zhengrong, this night felt extremely long.
The people he sent out, including A Hu, had not returned.
These individuals absolutely could not run into any trouble!
Because they were holding the weapons he had just purchased!
“What on earth happened? They haven’t come back this late, and I can’t reach them.” Li Zhengrong anxiously paced back and forth in his office.
He was already regretting it.
The decision he made this morning was too impulsive; even if he wanted to deal with Fang Yu, there was no need to send so many people.
If something really went wrong and the police got involved, it would lead to endless troubles!
Just as Li Zhengrong was feeling extremely anxious, a phone call came in.
He quickly answered.
“Boss… I just received news, A Hu and the others… they’re all dead! Those guys have all been captured…”
Upon hearing this news, Li Zhengrong could no longer bear it; his vision went dark, and he fainted on the spot.
…
The next day was Saturday.
Tang Xiaorou called Fang Yu early in the morning, saying that a car would come to pick him up at ten o’clock, and to get ready.
But Fang Yu had nothing to prepare; he simply wore a shirt and casual pants and went downstairs.
Around ten twenty, Fang Yu arrived at the Tang family’s gate, where various luxury cars were already parked. Each one was worth no less than a million, with top-tier luxury cars like Maybachs and Rolls-Royce Phantoms worth over ten million.
A long red carpet was laid from the gate to the villa’s living room.
Fang Yu walked straight into the villa.
At this time, the villa was bustling with people.
Among these people, besides the direct descendants of the Tang family, many were representatives sent by families friendly with the Tang family to attend the birthday banquet.
Fang Yu mostly did not know these people; he came to the birthday banquet for one reason only: to eat some good food.
So he walked over to the corner of the living room, where a buffet table was set up, preparing to grab something to eat.
But at that moment, Tang Xiaorou walked out from the inner hall.
Today, she had applied a bit of makeup, looking perfect and exquisite, wearing a sky-blue dress that revealed her fair and delicate arms and her slender calves.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone present.
This was the Tang family’s young lady, a true little princess.
The Tang family, as one of the top families in the Jiangnan region, had assets exceeding ten billion.
Currently, the head of the Tang family, Tang Mingde, had only this one daughter, Tang Xiaorou.
At today’s birthday banquet, most families brought their most outstanding young people, all hoping to have their talented youths get close to Tang Xiaorou and win her favor.
If someone could marry Tang Xiaorou, it would truly bring glory to their ancestors! It would be a tremendous help to the entire family!
Everyone’s gaze was on Tang Xiaorou, but she was anxiously searching for another person in the crowd.
“Why hasn’t he arrived yet?” Tang Xiaorou looked left and right but couldn’t find Fang Yu among the crowd.
Suddenly, she spotted a figure sitting at the buffet table in the corner.
“There he is!”
Tang Xiaorou quickly jogged over to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu was just about to grab some food when he felt two heavy pats on his shoulder.
“Fang Yu, I thought you weren’t coming!” Tang Xiaorou said, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
“Do you need something?” Fang Yu asked, a bit impatiently.
“Don’t eat yet; come with me to the inner hall. Grandpa, Dad, and Brother are all waiting for you inside,” Tang Xiaorou said.
“Your family is in there; what do I need to go in for?” Fang Yu frowned slightly.
“My grandpa wants to meet you and let the family get to know you…” Tang Xiaorou explained.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and decided to stand up.
After all, today was the old Tang’s birthday banquet, and since he was already there, he should show some respect.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Fang Yu followed Tang Xiaorou into the inner hall.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
How could the Tang family’s little princess be so close to a young man who wasn’t even wearing formal attire? And she brought him into the inner hall!?
The inner hall was a place only for the direct descendants of the Tang family!
Could it be that this young man was Tang Xiaorou’s…
Impossible?!
Fang Yu followed Tang Xiaorou into the inner hall.
On either side, there were two rows of people, all direct descendants of the Tang family, with the old Tang sitting in the central position at the front.
“Doctor Fang, you’re here.”
Seeing Fang Yu, Tang Mingde was the first to stand up and greet him.
The others sitting on either side looked at Fang Yu with curiosity.
This ordinary-looking young man was the “Doctor Fang” that Tang Mingde spoke of?
He was the one who successfully improved the old Tang’s condition?
He looked too young!
He didn’t seem like a highly skilled doctor at all.
But no one dared to voice such thoughts; most just grumbled internally.
“Doctor Fang.”
At this moment, a handsome young man also approached.
Fang Yu recognized him as Tang Feng, whom he had met outside Xia Xiuzhi’s herbal medicine shop that day.
At this time, Tang Feng looked at Fang Yu with great respect.
He knew what Fang Yu had done; not only had he saved the old Tang, but he had also saved Tang Xiaorou.
So, in Tang Feng’s eyes, this young man who looked even younger than him was like a benefactor.
Fang Yu nodded at Tang Feng, then turned to the old Tang and said, “Old Tang, I wish you longevity like the Southern Mountain.”
As he said this, Fang Yu felt a bit strange.
After all, the only person who could truly fulfill this wish was himself.
The old Tang smiled and said, “Doctor Fang, please sit over here.”
As he spoke, the old Tang pointed to a seat beside him.
Seeing this, the faces of the Tang family members changed.
The seating arrangement in the inner hall was significant.
The higher the status in the Tang family, the closer one sat to the old Tang.
Thus, Tang Mingde sat at the head of one row, while the old Tang’s eldest son, Tang Wenyuan, sat at the head of the other row.
But the old Tang had set a seat not far from him; this was different from previous years.
Many had speculated about who that seat was for.
Now they realized it was a special seat set for Fang Yu by the old Tang!
An outsider like Fang Yu had a seat closer to the old Tang than Tang Mingde and Tang Wenyuan!
This indicated how high this young man’s status was in the old Tang’s heart!
“Come on, Grandpa wants you to sit over there.” Tang Xiaorou tugged at Fang Yu’s hand and whispered.
Fang Yu actually didn’t want to sit down because he had already sensed many unusual gazes.
He hated trouble and didn’t want to get involved in the internal struggles of the Tang family.
But it wouldn’t be appropriate to just turn and leave at this moment.
So, he walked over to the seat and sat down.
“I’d like to formally introduce everyone; this is our great benefactor, Fang Yu!” The old Tang said with a smile, “I can still sit here and talk to you all, thanks to him! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to hold a birthday banquet this year!”
“Don’t be fooled by how young Doctor Fang looks; you shouldn’t doubt him. He is a disciple of the legendary medicine god, Xia Xiuzhi! The medical skills he possesses…”
Listening to the old Tang’s introduction, Fang Yu felt a bit speechless.
He should have said several times that he was not Xia Xiuzhi’s disciple, but no one believed him.
After the old Tang finished introducing Fang Yu, he chatted with the Tang family members for a while before going upstairs to change clothes and prepare for the upcoming reception.
“Some people come to the birthday banquet without even bringing a gift; they really think highly of our Tang family.” As soon as the old Tang went upstairs, Liang Rong, sitting across from him, snorted coldly, implying something.
It was clear she was referring to Fang Yu.
Tang Mingde’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Doctor Fang is our Tang family’s benefactor; he doesn’t need to bring a gift to attend the banquet. Big sister-in-law, what you said…”
“Mingde, you know how your big sister-in-law is. She just talks too much; you don’t need to pay her any mind.” At this moment, Tang Wenyuan spoke up.
Tang Wenyuan looked somewhat similar to Tang Mingde, but he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a more effeminate aura.
Tang Mingde glanced at Liang Rong and fell silent.
Tang Wenyuan looked at Fang Yu, his eyes sparkling with interest, and said, “Doctor Fang, according to my father’s words, your medical skills are so remarkable. I happen to have a bit of a problem with my health; could you take a look for me?”
