Chapter 740 Relationship Breakdown!
Tang Ming turned his head, looking at Fang Yu with furrowed brows.
“Take your hand off,” Tang Ming said coldly, expressionless.
“I can take my hand off, but you need to leave here immediately,” Fang Yu replied calmly.
Tang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, the coldness in them becoming more apparent.
“You’re Fang Yu, right? I heard your name yesterday,” Tang Ming said.
“Oh? Since you know my name, you must have also heard about my deeds?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“You haven’t earned enough of my attention to that degree,” Tang Ming said with a contemptuous look.
“How do you know I’m not at that level if you haven’t investigated?” Fang Yu smiled.
Tang Ming glanced around from the corner of his eye and realized that everyone’s attention was focused on him and Fang Yu.
Being held by the shoulder in such a public setting was already a humiliation for Tang Ming.
Tang Ming shrugged his shoulder, trying to shake off Fang Yu’s hand.
But as he moved, he felt an enormous pressure on his shoulder.
“Puff!”
Tang Ming wasn’t prepared for this pressure, his knee buckled, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
“Are you trying to stage an accident, Young Master Tang?” Fang Yu asked with a smirk.
Sitting on the ground, Tang Ming looked up at Fang Yu, his eyes flashing with cold murderous intent.
“Now, you’ve earned the qualification for my attention,” Tang Ming stood up unhurriedly and said coldly, “But you should understand that from now on, your life is on a countdown.”
A direct death threat!
The people around looked at Tang Ming and Fang Yu with changing expressions.
Most people had the same thought.
That this young man named Fang Yu had gotten himself into big trouble.
This was Tang Ming, the eldest son of the Tang family!
As long as he didn’t provoke the martial arts world, Tang Ming could practically walk sideways through North Capital!
Rumor had it that the Tang family had recently grown close to a certain martial arts family in North Capital, seemingly preparing for a marriage alliance.
If this rumor was true, then the Tang family’s position in the secular world would rise another level!
Today, Tang Ming came to the Qin family and flirted with Qin Yimo in front of so many people, challenging the Qin family… this action precisely confirmed the rumors.
It’s worth noting that for a long time, the Tang and Qin families had been in a cooperative relationship, each being the other’s biggest partner.
But today Tang Ming treated the Qin family with such an attitude… clearly, the Tang family was ready to tear off the mask and completely break with the Qin family.
There were only two reasons why the Tang family dared to do this.
The first reason must be related to Qin Wudao’s passing.
Qin Wudao was a truly formidable man, unmatched in both tactics and wisdom. When he was alive, the Tang family wouldn’t dare to act out no matter what ideas they had.
Since the news of Qin Wudao’s serious illness a month ago, the Tang family suddenly became more active. In many industries where they cooperated with the Qin family, the Tang family began looking for new partners.
Many families in North Capital had received wind of this.
The second reason must be that the Tang family now had enough confidence to completely sever ties with the Qin family, no longer wanting to bind their interests with the Qin family.
And the source of this confidence was very likely the martial arts family mentioned in the rumors about the upcoming marriage alliance.
“The Tang family… is probably heading for its peak. And the Qin family… might just be the Tang family’s first stepping stone.”
Thinking of this, the hearts of everyone present trembled slightly.
“Are you leaving?” Fang Yu asked Tang Ming in front of him.
Tang Ming straightened his disheveled coat without acknowledging Fang Yu, instead looking at the line of Qin family members standing behind.
“From today onwards, the cooperation between the Tang family and the Qin family officially ends. You’ll soon find out what your Qin family amounts to without our Tang family’s support,” Tang Ming said coldly.
After speaking, he turned sideways and walked past Fang Yu, brushing his shoulder.
“If you want to go out, I’ll escort you,” Fang Yu said.
As he spoke, Fang Yu grabbed Tang Ming by the back of his neck, like picking up a small chicken, and lifted him up entirely.
“Let go of me!” Tang Ming’s face turned extremely ugly as he struggled desperately.
“You talk tough in someone else’s home and expect to leave peacefully? You really have no brains,” Fang Yu grinned and threw Tang Ming forward.
“Bang!”
Tang Ming flew out through the entrance of the memorial hall, his body crashing heavily onto the ground, rolling several times. He lay motionless, seemingly unconscious.
“Have his driver take him back,” Fang Yu turned and said to Qin Yimo.
Qin Yimo nodded.
At this moment, the entire memorial hall was silent.
Everyone looked at Fang Yu with shocked expressions, stunned.
They hadn’t expected Fang Yu to directly take action and throw Tang Ming outside the memorial hall…
Such an action was equivalent to the Qin family declaring war on the Tang family!
This way, there was no room for reconciliation in this matter!
These two families that had cooperated for over a decade now stood in complete opposition!
This was a major shock to the secular world’s situation in North Capital!
When the Qin and Tang families cooperated, they were considered top-tier powers in North Capital’s secular world.
But now that they’ve separated, both families’ influence has suffered a huge reduction.
However, the Tang family still had great confidence, as long as that rumor was true.
As for the Qin family… the situation was not good.
Their pillar, Qin Wudao, had just passed away, and now they had completely broken with the Tang family… they had suffered a heavy blow!
…
Because of this incident, most guests left hurriedly after paying their respects.
They now needed to reassess their relationships with the Qin family.
At four in the afternoon, all guests had left the Qin residence.
The core members of the Qin family gathered in the main building’s living room, holding the first meeting since Qin Yimo became the family head.
Everyone’s expression was grim.
Because they knew that from today on, the Qin family would enter its most difficult phase in decades.
Although the Tang family had been making moves for a month, everyone had been thinking optimistically, believing there was still room for reconciliation.
But today, things suddenly escalated to the peak.
The Qin family and Tang family had completely broken ties!
For most people in the Qin family, the event itself wasn’t the most desperate thing.
What was desperate was the timing of this event!
The current family head was Qin Yimo, not Qin Wudao!
They had no confidence in Qin Yimo at all.
“This matter wouldn’t have developed to this point!” Qin Changlong was the first to speak. He stood up, his face ashen, staring at Qin Yimo who sat on the sofa in front, and said, “How could Fang Yu lay hands on Tang Ming in front of so many people!?”
Qin Yimo looked at Qin Changlong and said, “Tang Ming stood in front of grandfather’s memorial hall, challenging our entire Qin family. At such a time, should we just endure it?”
“Yes, Tang Ming’s attitude was indeed arrogant. But no matter what, we shouldn’t have resorted to violence! No matter what Tang Ming said, it was just verbal, but once we took action, we lost the moral high ground and put ourselves in a passive position in terms of public opinion!” Qin Changlong said angrily.
“So your meaning is…” Qin Yimo narrowed her eyes slightly and asked.
“Our Qin family should immediately make a statement, distancing ourselves from Fang Yu! Declare that his actions have nothing to do with us!” Qin Changlong said.
These words immediately drew agreement from those around.
“Yes, I think we should do that too!”
“I support doing this!”
“Me too…”
At this point, Qin Jianjun made a gesture for silence and also stood up.
“Yimo, I know Fang Yu has helped us a lot, and the old man indeed valued him highly. But at this time, we must prioritize the family’s interests. Besides, Fang Yu himself doesn’t have a family background, so if the Tang family targets him, they’re only targeting him alone,” Qin Jianjun said. “I’ve heard the old man mention many times that Fang Yu is very powerful. So, even if the Tang family wants to retaliate against him, he can handle it.”
These words again drew a chorus of agreement.
Qin Yimo’s face darkened, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.
Fang Yu had just helped the Qin family resolve a major crisis, and now, just out of fear of the Tang family, they wanted to distance themselves from him?
Qin Yimo couldn’t bring herself to do something so unconscionable! She believed that Qin Wudao wouldn’t agree to this either!
Even knowing that Fang Yu had the ability to deal with the Tang family, she wouldn’t do this!
“Regarding Fang Yu, there’s no need for discussion. I will not agree to distance ourselves from him; he is a great benefactor to our Qin family,” Qin Yimo said coldly. “Also, regarding the Tang family, don’t think that lowering our posture will salvage anything.”
