"The status of second young master Tang remains unknown?" asked Qi Zhengyan. His first reaction was to verify this information.
The service boy nodded heavily. "That's right. It's said that after the second young master Tang was hurt by the assassin, they both jumped into the water and haven't been seen since."
Qi Zhengyan's usual stone face suddenly bulged up and seemed grim. He instructed his men, "Quickly, report this information to Manager Lin outside the city."
When the men were out of earshot, they both walked back to the yard. Meng Qi asked, "Is this second young master Tang of great importance?"
Qi Zhengyan nodded gently and replied, "He's the third generation kin of the eldest branch. If something were to happen to Old Master Tang, he would have been next in line to be the Master of the house."
"What about his father?" Meng Qi asked in confusion.
