Chapter 83: You all… just wait for me!
Jianghai City, Tang Family.
Tang Mingde finished a day’s work and sat on the sofa in the living room, facing the elderly Tang patriarch, who was in a wheelchair.
“Mingde, your brother has been telling me lately that he wants to return to work at the headquarters in Jianghai City. What do you think…” The old man hesitated, starting to speak.
Tang Mingde’s expression darkened as he replied, “Dad, you were the one who transferred Tang Wenyuan away. Do you really think he has changed? You should have seen that at the birthday banquet; he hasn’t changed at all! If he comes back, how am I supposed to work?”
The old man sighed and said, “Mingde, no matter how bad Wenyuan’s character is, he is still your biological brother. You can’t…”
Tang Mingde’s face grew increasingly grim as he waved his hand dismissively, “Dad, there’s no need to discuss this further. I’m not trying to defy you, but I absolutely cannot approve of Tang Wenyuan’s return.”
Seeing Tang Mingde’s expression and tone, the old man wanted to say something more but ultimately held his tongue.
After a moment of silence between father and son, the old man suddenly recalled something and asked, “Did Doctor Fang make a move against the Martial Arts Association yesterday?”
Tang Mingde nodded, saying, “Yes, I couldn’t stop him. He severely injured two enforcers from the Tianlao, and the president of the Jianghai Martial Arts Association, Du Yongnian, was also hurt by him.”
As he spoke, Tang Mingde sighed, “Doctor Fang is still a bit too impulsive; he’s gotten himself into big trouble this time…”
The old man shook his head, saying, “Mingde, I think we have underestimated Doctor Fang. He has repeatedly exceeded our expectations… I believe that although he is young, he is very mature inside. He must have his reasons and justifications for everything he does. We don’t need to worry too much, and we certainly shouldn’t obstruct him. Otherwise, it might provoke his resentment.”
Just as Tang Mingde was about to respond, a commotion erupted outside the door.
“You can’t go in… ah!”
The Tang family’s courtyard was filled with the sounds of crashing and screams.
Tang Mingde’s expression changed, and he immediately stood up, wanting to see what was happening.
But before he could step outside, a group of people burst through the front door.
Leading them was Yang Shaorong, accompanied by a strong man in a black martial robe.
Behind them was a group of subordinates dressed in suits.
“Yang Shaorong, what do you want…” Tang Mingde’s face turned pale.
Yang Shaorong’s expression was still grim, his hair gray, eyes bloodshot, and his beard unkempt.
However, upon seeing Tang Mingde, a manic smile spread across his face.
“Tang Mingde, I’m here today to take revenge for my son Xu’er and Jian’er! Are you ready?”
Tang Mingde’s expression darkened; he never expected Yang Shaorong would dare to storm the Tang family!
The bodyguards outside had clearly been dealt with by Yang Shaorong and his men.
The elderly Tang patriarch in the wheelchair also realized what was happening.
He glared at Yang Shaorong, angrily saying, “Yang Shaorong, what you’re doing violates…”
“Violates what? My son has been crippled! Today, not only will I kill that bastard Fang Yu, but I will also burn down your Tang family!” Yang Shaorong shouted hysterically.
Tang Mingde’s expression was grim, but he remained calm.
Aside from Tang Si, who was recuperating, there were still three bodyguards in the Tang family who should be arriving soon.
“Head of the family!”
Just as Tang Mingde was thinking this, a voice rang out from outside the Tang family’s front door.
Three bodyguards rushed into the Tang family, standing in front of Tang Mingde.
These three were Tang Yi, Tang Er, and Tang San.
Along with Tang Si, these four were the Tang family’s elite bodyguards. Two were adopted sons of the elderly Tang patriarch, while the other two were talents recruited by Tang Mingde.
Usually, Tang Si was responsible for protecting Tang Xiaorou’s safety, while the other three rarely showed themselves, only appearing when Tang Mingde requested their presence.
All three had higher cultivation levels than Tang Si; Tang Yi and Tang Er were innate-level eleven martial artists, while Tang San was an innate-level ten martial artist.
Seeing these three appear, Tang Mingde breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Jian had already been crippled; this group from the Yang family was nothing but a rabble.
“Yang Shaorong, leave the Tang family immediately!” Tang Mingde said in a deep voice.
Yang Shaorong laughed maniacally, saying, “Tang Mingde, do you think a few bodyguards can resist me? Do you know who stands beside me?”
Tang Mingde looked at the strong man who had remained silent.
At that moment, the strong man was also looking at him.
Meeting the cold gaze of this man, Tang Mingde shivered, feeling a pang of suffocation in his heart.
Who is this person?
“He is the chief disciple of the Grandmaster Gu Rulong, Gu Yan! He is also Jian’er’s senior brother, and he has come to Jianghai City specifically for revenge on Jian’er!”
“Today, neither your Tang family nor Fang Yu can escape!” Yang Shaorong hissed with venom.
The chief disciple of Gu Rulong?
Tang Mingde’s face turned pale, his heart racing!
He had never heard of Gu Yan before, but he knew that none of Gu Rulong’s disciples were weak!
This chief disciple must be stronger than Yang Jian!
However, in the eyes of Tang Yi and the others, there was confusion.
Because they sensed no martial aura emanating from Gu Yan.
Was Yang Shaorong trying to bluff them?
Thinking this, Tang San exchanged glances with Tang Yi and Tang Er.
The three of them moved together to subdue Gu Yan first!
With a shared look, the three of them let out a low growl, tensed their bodies, and charged at Gu Yan.
Tang Mingde wanted to call out to them, but it was already too late.
Gu Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he stood still, raising his right hand and delivering a punch to Tang San’s chest.
“Crack!”
Tang San’s chest caved in, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a table behind him, falling to the ground and not getting up.
Tang Yi and Tang Er rushed to Gu Yan’s sides, each throwing a punch!
“You are too weak.”
Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted from Gu Yan, instantly sending Tang Yi and Tang Er flying!
“Just a few innate martial artists dare to lay hands on me,” Gu Yan coldly glanced at the three fallen Tang family bodyguards and said.
In his eyes, there was a cold indifference, as if the people around him were no more significant than ants.
“My target is Fang Yu; others are of no concern to me. Tell me, where is Fang Yu?” Gu Yan looked at Tang Mingde and asked.
As he spoke, the pressure from Gu Yan’s aura bore down on Tang Mingde.
Tang Mingde trembled all over, saying, “I… I don’t know…”
Gu Yan remained silent, pointing at Tang Er, who was struggling to get up on the ground.
A flash of golden light passed, and Tang Er’s left chest was pierced through.
Tang Er didn’t even have time to scream; his eyes remained wide open as he fell to the ground, motionless, blood pooling on the floor.
“I’ll ask you one more time, where is Fang Yu?” Gu Yan said coldly.
Tang Mingde’s face turned pale, his body shaking uncontrollably as he said, “I only have his contact information, but I haven’t been able to reach him today. I don’t know where he is!”
“Can’t reach him?” Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Tang Mingde took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Fang Yu’s number, but it showed that the call was unanswered.
He dialed three times in a row, all showing no answer.
“Ah!”
At that moment, a sharp scream came from the entrance of the Tang family.
Tang Xiaorou, who had just returned from school, was grabbed by two of Yang Shaorong’s subordinates and dragged into the living room.
Seeing Tang Xiaorou, Tang Mingde felt as if his heart was about to explode!
“Oh, Xiaorou, long time no see.” Yang Shaorong looked at Tang Xiaorou with a mocking smile.
Tang Xiaorou saw the chaos outside and the horrific scene in the hall, her face drained of color, trembling all over.
“I used to like you a lot and wanted you to enter our family, but you chose that bastard Fang Yu instead.” Yang Shaorong slowly approached Tang Xiaorou.
“Yang Shaorong, what grudge do you have against me? Don’t touch my daughter!” Tang Mingde shouted angrily.
Yang Shaorong suddenly lunged at Tang Mingde, punching him in the face.
Tang Mingde cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
Yang Shaorong lifted his foot and stomped on Tang Mingde’s face, his eyes filled with hatred as he said, “Tang Mingde, do you think I have anything to fear now? I can do whatever I want!”
“Dad!” Tang Xiaorou’s eyes turned red as she cried out.
The elderly Tang patriarch’s face turned ashen, trembling all over, unable to speak.
Yang Shaorong kicked Tang Mingde in the face again and then walked toward the weeping Tang Xiaorou.
“You little slut, I once thought about having you marry my son and enter our family, but I still remember that look on your face! What are you so proud of? It’s a blessing for you that our family would even consider you! Truly a shameless person!” Yang Shaorong stood in front of Tang Xiaorou and slapped her across the face!
“Slap!”
Tang Xiaorou’s cheek immediately turned red and swollen. She felt pain and tears streamed down her face, but there was no fear in her eyes, only anger.
“Slap!”
Another slap!
Tang Xiaorou still stubbornly glared at Yang Shaorong.
“Slap!”
Another slap!
Blood trickled from the corner of Tang Xiaorou’s mouth, and her cheek was swollen.
Seeing this scene, Tang Mingde let out an angry roar, struggling with all his might.
But he was firmly held down by Yang Shaorong’s subordinates, unable to move at all.
…
Fang Yu stepped out of the high-speed train station and took out his phone to check the time, only to realize that it had been turned off.
After powering it on, he saw several missed calls.
All from Tang Mingde.
Fang Yu frowned and called back.
The call connected.
“Fang Yu? I’m waiting for you at the Tang family. Come quickly.” A cold, unfamiliar voice came from the other end, followed by a cacophony of noise.
Fang Yu listened carefully, and his expression changed slightly.
He heard the sharp sound of slaps, Tang Xiaorou’s cries, and Tang Mingde’s angry shouts.
Fang Yu’s eyes glowed red as he said coldly:
“No matter who you are… just wait.”
