761-770

761 Tang Jiayang Is Sho

"Ningning, thank you for everything you've done for our family," Tang Yunfan said, feeling quite grateful. It was his duty to protect his family, but Gu Ning had done a lot to protect them instead, which made him feel a little guilty as well.

Girls of her age were still studying in school, but Gu Ning had helped them solve many tricky problems till now. Even though Tang Yunfan understood that Gu Ning wasn't a simple girl, his heart still ached for her.

Gu Ning smiled. "Dad, we're a family, and family members support each other, right?"

In the beginning, Gu Ning accepted Tang Yunfan because Gu Man loved him, but she gradually felt that it was a good thing to have a loving father.

"Sure, sure." Tang Yunfan's eyes were wet with tears.

"Oh, dad, how is everything going between you and my mom?" Gu Ning asked.

Speaking of that, Tang Yunfan was upset. "Well, we get along very well, but…"

"But what?�� Gu Ning asked.

"We don't feel like a family," Tang Yunfan said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood. Although they got along very well with one another, they weren't married after all, and not a legal couple.

"Dad, don't worry. You can propose to my mom after the Tang family overcomes the crisis. I believe that my mom will agree!" Gu Ning said.

"No problem! I'll deal with the rest of the things as soon as possible. Leave them to me." Tang Yunfan was cheered up.

"Great!" Gu Ning had no intention to interfere in the Tang family's business affairs, because it wasn't her company.

After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, Tang Yunfan called Tang Jiayang and told him the news.

Tang Jiayang was also shocked to learn that Tang Weiyong was still alive, because each member of the Tang family believed that he was dead.

Since they found out that Tang Weiyong was the mastermind, it would be easy for them to deal with it. However, they couldn���t punish Tang Weiyong right now, because they still needed to find out whether Tang Weiyong had others' support. He still had a son after all.

If they knew Tang Xinjie's condition now, they wouldn't care about him, but the point was that they had no idea about it.

During the past years, they already forgot about them, so they knew nothing about them now. They didn't even know Tang Weiyong's son's name. Luckily, they found a useful clue that Tang Weiyong's daughter was Tang Xinrui.

…

The next day, Tang Jiayang went to work in the company as usual. The company was working well these days, but they still needed to stay alert. Tang Weiyong would achieve his goals by hook or by crook. What had happened to Tang Yunfan, Tang Haifeng and Gu Man were all schemed by him.

Tang Jiayang didn't know what Tang Weiyong was going to do next to hurt him. He wasn't afraid to meet Tang Weiyong face to face, but he was worried that Tang Weiyong might attack him behind his back. Anyway, Tang Weiyong had nothing to lose now. He had even planned to sacrifice a man to kill Tang Haifeng in the car accident before.

Tang Jiayang was right to worry. Just when he arrived at the building of Tanghuang Group and got out of the car, he heard a shot and escaped by conditioned reflex. He grew up in the military region, so he quickly realized that someone was shooting at him with a gun.

Unfortunately, he couldn't be faster than a bullet, and was shot in the right side of his stomach. After that, he hit the car window under the force of the bullet.

The gunshot scared many people around him, and they screamed, running away.

The person who shot him also escaped, and the bodyguards ran to Tang Jiayang at once.

��Lord Tang!"

Tang Jiayang's face turned pale within a second.

"The medicine. My pocket…" Tang Jiayang did his best to say that despite the pain.

A bodyguard took out the porcelain bottle Gu Ning gave him from his pocket without delay, and helped him take a pill before they sent him to the hospital.

After taking the pill, Tang Jiayang soon felt much better, and the wound gradually stopped bleeding as well, which amazed him. However, the bullet was still in his body, which was very painful.

Within a short time, the shocking news spread abroad in Tanghuang Group, and the staff were all frightened.

Quan Mingkai left his office once he heard the bad news. He called Tang Jiayang's bodyguard on his way to the hospital.

The bodyguard told him that Tang Jiayang felt much better now after taking Gu Ning's pill, and that the wound had already stopped bleeding.

Hearing that, Quan Mingkai was a little relieved, because he knew that Gu Ning's medicine was very effective.

Quan Mingkai then called Gu Ning and told her what had just happened to Tang Jiayang.

Gu Ning was on her way to the Tang family's house when she received Quan Mingkai's call. She knew that Tang Jiayang was in a dangerous situation, so she had reminded him to be careful, but he was still hurt now.

Although Tang Jiayang would be fine with the help of her pill, he didn't have much time to recover at this key moment, so Gu Ning told Qiao Ya to drive to the hospital right away. She was going to put her magical power into Tang Jiayang's body in person to help him recover as soon as possible.

"Ningning, what happened?" Gu Man was worried when she heard that they were heading to the hospital.

762 He Will Be Fine

"Jiayang is in danger now, and I have to go help him," Gu Ning said.

"What happened to him? Is it serious?" Gu Man's heart was in her throat now. The Tang family had been through so many crises recently, and the important members were attacked one after another.

"Don't worry. He'll be fine." Gu Ning comforted Gu Man.

Hearing that, Gu Man relaxed a little.

Afterwards, Gu Ning called K at once, and told him to find out who the gunman was by hacking into the surveillance cameras around the Tanghuang Group's building. Although she knew that Tang Weiyong was the mastermind, she was determined to pay the gunman back. As long as she found the gunman, she would kill him.

Quan Mingkai called Tang Yunhang next and told him the bad news, but he didn't call Tang Yunfan, in case Tang Yunfan ran out and exposed himself.

Tang Yunhang left for the hospital at once, and called Jiang Lihua on his way.

Jiang Lihua went to the hospital in the early morning and stayed in Tang Haifeng's ward all the time. Even though Tang Haifeng was fine now, she had to visit him every day in order to not arouse others' suspicion. When she heard the terrible news, she almost passed out.

"What's wrong?" Tang Haifeng asked her in a hurry.

"J-Jiayang was shot." Jiang Lihua burst into tears.

"What?" Tang Haifeng was shocked.

They were mentally prepared for more attacks, but they still couldn't accept that Tang Jiayang was the next target.

"Jiayang took Ningning's medicine, and he is out of danger now. Don't panic. Ningning is on her way to the hospital, and Jiayang will be fine with Ningning's help." Tang Yunhang comforted Jiang Lihua.

"Will Jiayang still be fine after being shot?" Jiang Lihua was anxious. Tang Jiayang was her son, and her heart ached for him.

"Alright, stay there with father, and don't let him leave the ward," Tang Yunhang said.

"Fine." No matter how worried Jiang Lihua was, she chose to believe Gu Ning.

Right after Jiang Lihua hung up the call with Tang Yunhang, Tang Haifeng removed the quilt and was about to stand up. Jiang Lihua stopped him at once. "Father, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to see Jiayang." Tang Haifeng couldn't wait a second longer to check whether Tang Jiayang was fine now.

"Father, Yunhang said that you can't leave this ward. Jiayang took Ningning's medicine, and he's safe now. He'll arrive here to take out the bullet soon. I'll tell you the latest news if I hear any, alright?" Jiang Lihua said.

Knowing that Tang Jiayang was safe now, Tang Haifeng calmed down a little. He trusted Gu Ning very much.

"Tang Wen, Tang Wu, stay here and take care of Master Tang. I'll go out for a while," Jiang Lihua said to Tang Wen and Tang Wu.

"Sure," Tang Wen and Tang Wu said.

Although they were Tang Haifeng's bodyguards, and only listened to his orders, they knew what was the right thing to do now. They understood that Tang Haifeng was worried about Tang Jiayang, but he couldn't show up at this moment.

Luckily, Tang Haifeng listened to Jiang Lihua and lay down on the bed.

Once Jiang Lihua walked out, she ran to the front door of the hospital.

At the same time, Tang Jiayang's car arrived.

The moment the car door opened, a group of nurses and doctors walked forward to help Tang Jiayang get out of the car.

Jiang Lihua ran ahead at once, and burst into tears again. "Jiayang, Jiayang!"

"Mom, I'm fine." Tang Jiayang comforted his mother.

Tang Jiayang wasn't in a terrible condition now, but Jiang Lihua was still concerned about his safety.

"Mrs. Tang, we need to take the bullet out of Lord Tang's body right now. Please stand aside," a doctor said to Jiang Lihua politely.

"Sure." Jiang Lihua walked aside at once.

They pushed Tang Jiayang into the operating room without delay, followed by Jiang Lihua, but she could only wait outside.

A few minutes later, Gu Ning arrived.

"How's Jiayang now?" Gu Man asked Jiang Lihua with concern.

"No idea," Jiang Lihua said anxiously.

"Don't worry. Jiayang will be fine." Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see inside the operating room. Tang Jiayang was safe; he just lost some blood.

She would put her magical power into his body later, and he would be fine.

After a while, Quan Mingkai and Tang Yunhang arrived too.

It took around 20 minutes for the doctor to take the bullet out of Tang Jiayang's body.

After the surgery, Tang Jiayang was pushed out. He was still under anesthetic, but the surgery was very successful. The bullet didn't hit his heart after all, and Gu Ning's power crystal stopped him from bleeding and helped him heal.

Tang Jiayang was sent to a ward later.

When the doctor was gone, and there were only members of the Tang family in the ward, Gu Ning walked to Tang Jiayang and began to unwrap the bandages around his wound.

"Ningning, what are you doing?" Jiang Lihua was a little scared. Although she believed that Gu Ning wouldn't hurt Tang Jiayang, she was afraid that it might be painful.

"I'm going to treat his wound," Gu Ning said, and kept on unwrapping the bandages.

When Gu Ning was unwrapping the bandages, she said to Qiao Ya, "Qiao Ya, go pour me a glass of water."

"No problem." Qiao Ya went to pour a glass of water at once, and placed it on the table next to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning then took out a porcelain bottle and poured some water in it before she started to apply the water mixed with the power crystal to Tang Jiayang's wound. After that, she removed the stitches with her hands.

Seeing that, Jiang Lihua wanted to stop Gu Ning again, but thought that she should believe Gu Ning.

Within a short time, Gu Ning finished removing the stitches, and Jiang Lihua prayed that Tang Jiayang would be fine.

763 Gu Ning Finds the Gunman

Gu Ning put her magical power into Tang Jiayang's body when she was removing the stitches.

Before long, Tang Jiayang's wound had an obvious change, and it soon healed, which shocked everyone. Although they knew that Gu Ning's medicine was very effective, they were still astonished to see its effects with their own eyes.

Even though there was a scar left on the outside, it was already healed on the inside.

With the help of Gu Ning's magical power, Tang Jiayang also opened his eyes.

"Jiayang!" They were excited to see Tang Jiayang waking up.

When Tang Jiayang didn't feel any pain from the wound, he was greatly surprised. He realized that he had an unbelievable younger cousin.

Since Tang Jiayang recovered, Quan Mingkai reported it to Tang Haifeng at once, in case Tang Haifeng was worried.

The shocking news of the Tang family was going abroad. People now all heard that Tang Yunfan had been absent for so many days not because he had gone abroad, but because he had been caught in a car accident and was still unconscious. Tang Haifeng also had a serious car accident. And then today Tang Jiayang was shot by a gunman and his life was in danger.

The news aroused many guesses. Someone said that the Tang family was cursed, so its family members was caught by accidents one after another.

Some also believed that there must be ongoing conflicts in the Tang family. Business was a battlefield without smoke, and one could only survive by killing all of his enemies.

Either way, the Tanghuang Group was in a deep crisis now, and reporters along with its business partners kept calling them for more information.

It didn't cause panic when Tang Haifeng and Tang Jiayang were in danger, but it was very shocking when Tang Yunfan wasn't able to run the company.

If the Tanghuang Group lost Tang Yunfan, it lost hope, and its business partners would abandon it as well.

The Tanghuang Group made an official statement later, saying that they knew nothing about it, which was the truth.

Facing the severe crisis, the board of directors called an emergency meeting at once.

…

Tang Deming seized this chance.

"We must elect a new acting chairman right away to make sure that the company can work steadily as usual," he said in the meeting room.

Tang Zhilin argued against him. "You've repeatedly said that. Why do you think that only an acting chairman can help the company work steadily as usual?"

"A team will be in a state of disunity without a leader. Don't you know that?" Tang Deming said.

"We need a powerful leader, not a mascot!" Tang Zhilin raised his voice.

"How could you know that the acting chairman is just a mascot?" Tang Deming questioned Tang Zhilin. "Tang Jiayang is just a young boy, but he's helped the company get rid of the turmoil after he became the acting chairman."

"That's because Tang Jiayang is a member of the Tang family!" Tang Zhilin said.

"Aren't we members of the Tang family?" Tang Deming argued.

"You didn't make any effort to build this company, and I don't think that you're qualified to take over!�� Tang Zhilin said.

"Alright, we need to discuss how to deal with it right now. It must be a scheme if Chairman Yunfan, Master Tang and Tang Jiayang were caught by an accident one after another," the ninth director said, then gave Tang Deming a glance.

"Why did you look at me when you said that?" Tang Deming was annoyed. "Are you suspicious of me? Do you have any proof?" Tang Deming indeed didn't do those things in person, but he was involved in them.

"I wasn't only looking at you. Why you are so mad? Do you think that you're guilty?" The ninth director wasn't afraid of Tang Deming at all.

"Don't play the blame game with me!" Tang Deming almost shouted.

"You know who should be responsible for it!" the ninth director sneered.

"If we don't elect a new acting chairman, how should we solve this problem?" Wu Boyan asked.

None of them knew how to deal with it, and looked at each other in silence.

The big news about the Tanghuang Group started to affect the stock market, and its stock price had a dramatic decrease. At the same time, someone was secretly buying the Tanghuang Group shares in a large amount.

…

Right at this moment, Gu Ning received K's call. K told her that he found the gunman in a living area, and he also sent her a picture of the gunman.

It was a man around 30 years old, and K was trying to find out his real identity.

Without hesitation, Gu Ning drove to find the gunman. However, before Gu Ning arrived, the gunman left the house, so K tracked his position online to guide Gu Ning.

After a while, K got the result of his real identity. He wasn't a common citizen, but a mercenary. Luckily, he was just a normal mercenary, not an ace one. That was also the reason why he had failed to kill Tang Jiayang.

With K's guidance, Gu Ning came to an old town.

There were no surveillance cameras, so K lost the gunman's accurate position, but Gu Ning already remembered his face, and she could find him with her Jade Eyes.

After a short while of searching, Gu Ning found him in a worn down house.

The man was alone inside, and there were few people in the town.

When the man had just laid down on the bed, he heard a loud sound, and the door was kicked open. He was alarmed, and abruptly stood up.

The moment he left the bedroom, he saw Gu Ning and frowned with anger. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" He looked quite frightening, and tried to scare Gu Ning, but Gu Ning was as calm as usual.

"To take revenge," Gu Ning said coldly.

The man wasn't surprised, but he didn't know that Gu Ning came here because of Tang Jiayang. In fact, he had killed so many people as a mercenary, so he knew that many people wanted him to die.

It wasn't an uncommon thing that his enemies came to find him to take revenge, but he was surprised that this time it was a young girl.

"Do you think that you can do that?" he said with disdain.

"Of course I can," Gu Ning sneered, then moved towards the man step by step.

764 Gu Ning Kills a Man

The man felt a little scared now, but he was a well-trained mercenary after all, so he was able to calm himself down. However, he didn't dare to take this young girl lightly anymore. If she was confident to be able to kill him by herself, she couldn't be a simple girl.

Although the man didn't believe that Gu Ning could do it, he had to be cautious from this moment.

He tried to kill Gu Ning before she could kill him, so he took out his handgun without delay, but Gu Ning attacked him at the same time.

Seeing that, the man moved away at once, and tried to shoot at Gu Ning again, but Gu Ning wouldn't let him have the chance. She kept attacking him, so he didn't have any chance to aim at her. If he couldn't aim at her, it was useless to shoot.

The man was astonished that Gu Ning, who was just a young girl, was able to move so quickly and punch him with great force and accuracy. He realized that he had met a match.

It didn't take long for Gu Ning to beat the man down, and she soon dislocated his arms and broke his ankles. She also gagged his mouth before she dislocated his arms, in case his scream attracted others' attention.

Since she was going to kill this man, she couldn't let others see it. And now, the man became a piece of meat on Gu Ning's chopping board, and she could cut him as she wanted.

He almost lost consciousness from the pain, but he also stayed conscious because of the excruciating pain.

The man was horrified now. To his astonishment, this young girl was so cruel and agile that he didn't even have a chance to fight back. She was even better than those ace killers. Was she a killer sent by his enemy?

Either way, since this young girl was going to take revenge today, he was doomed to death.

Although he was a mercenary, and was mentally-prepared to be killed at any moment, he still felt terrified when he saw the end of his life. Nobody wanted to die when it was possible to stay alive.

However, he also knew that it was meaningless to beg a killer who didn't have mercy at all, so he remained silent.

Gu Ning drew out her gun from her pocket, and aimed at him.

Even though the man understood that he was going to die the next second, he still moved a little trying to escape.

Gu Ning already knew who the mastermind behind the scheme was, so she didn't hesitate to kill this man who was useless in her eyes.

Because of the silencer, it didn't make any sound. A bullet hit his heart, and he was dead after struggling for a few seconds, then Gu Ning left.

K had hacked the surveillance cameras along the way to this old town, so nobody would know that Gu Ning was the killer, Even if she was exposed, the Tang family was able to protect her.

It was illegal to kill a man, but she wasn't regretful because this man should be killed.

Gu Ning drove back to the hospital afterwards.

Tang Yunfan soon had the result of the investigation on Tang Weiyong. Tang Weiyong's identity in Country Y was a normal businessman named Yar, and his son called Tang Xinjie was adopted by another family in Country Y. However, all the members of the family were killed in a car accident many years ago.

As for Tang Xinjie, he was just a playboy.

Although Tang Weiyong knew many influential people, most of them were in Country Y, and Tang Yunfan didn't believe that they would dare to help Tang Weiyong in another country. In addition, they worked with Tang Weiyong for benefits. If there were no benefits, they wouldn't bother to give Tang Weiyong a helping hand. Therefore, there was nobody in Tang Yunfan's way to stop him from paying Tang Weiyong back.

Right when those directors were still arguing in the meeting room, Tang Jiayang showed up all of a sudden, and he looked quite well, which shocked everyone.

"Jesus, wasn't he shot by a gunman? How could he look so well after just several hours?"

"It's so unbelievable!"

…

In the company, everyone discussed it with surprise.

When Tang Jiayang entered the meeting room, all the directors were astonished too, especially Tang Deming. He stood up from his chair and couldn't believe his eyes. "Weren't you shot by a gunman? How can you be fine right now?"

It was obvious that he couldn't accept the fact that Tang Jiayang was fine now.

It was understandable why Tang Deming was reluctant to accept it, because it was a part of their scheme that Tang Jiayang's life was in danger.

Tang Jiayang stared at Tang Deming and asked coldly, "What? Do you feel disappointed?"

Hearing that, everyone turned to look at Tang Deming with suspicion on their faces. It sounded like Tang Jiayang believed that Tang Deming had him shot. Was Tang Deming really involved in it? If so, Tang Deming was really evil!

Fu Kaiyu subconsciously moved further away from Tang Deming.

Although Fu Kaiyu supported Tang Deming and they had done many dirty deals together before, he didn't know what Tang Deming was doing against the Tang family. Moreover, he wouldn't hire a gunman to kill another person, because he could be put in jail once it was exposed.

Tang Deming panicked a little, but soon calmed himself down. "Of course not. I-I just felt surprised, like everyone else in the room." He even felt aggrieved.

Tang Jiayang sneered, and his eyes were full of disdain and distrust, which annoyed Tang Deming, but he didn't dare to say anything now.

Once Tang Jiayang was back, those who planned to cause Tanghuang Group trouble had to stop.

In fact, during the past days, several companies had found fault with Tang Jiayang using the excuse that the proposal wasn't right, but none of them succeeded.

Tang Jiayang lacked experience, so he wasn't able to handle everything well, but he could still run the company steadily with the help of Quan Mingkai and Yan Weilun.

765 Jazz Club

Smart businessmen all knew that it wasn't likely that a dominant business group like the Tanghuang Group would fail within a short time, even though several members of the Tang family were caught in an accident one after another.

It was just the beginning, and the Tanghuang Group was running well as usual. Therefore, those who had picked on Tang Jiayang all had a relationship with Tang Deming.

Tang Jiayang glanced around at them after he sat down on the chairman's seat. His sight stopped for a second on Tang Deming, then moved away. "I bet you must be very curious about who tried to kill me."

"Who?" Hearing that, everyone was all ears, except for Tang Deming.

Tang Deming was in a panic all of a sudden. Tang Jiayang was paying special attention to him, which meant that he could have been exposed. However, he didn't believe that Tang Jiayang had solid proof, because he had been extremely careful. Even so, he was still restless. At the same time, he also wondered why Tang Jiayang could be fine after just being shot.

"Hi, Uncle Deming, you seem distracted. What are you thinking?" Tang Jiayang looked at Tang Deming.

"N-nothing." Tang Deming swallowed, and his voice trembled a little.

He realized that he was behaving abnormally, so he forced himself to calm down, and kept telling himself that Tang Jiayang didn't have solid proof.

Tang Deming sat there with a calm face, but the others all knew clearly that there must be something wrong with Tang Deming. It might turn out to be a long day for Tang Deming.

"Uncle Deming, aren't you curious about who tried to kill me?" Tang Jiayang asked again. It was obvious that he wouldn't let Tang Deming have a break.

Tang Deming frowned and seemed displeased. "Tang Jiayang, do you have to bombard me with questions?"

Tang Jiayang pulled his lips. "Uncle Deming, I think you know the reason clearly."

"You…" Tang Deming was annoyed, and got nervous. "Tang Jiayang, if you're suspicious of me, show me the evidence. If you don't have any solid proof, it's slander, and I can sue you for that."

"You want to see the proof? No problem. I have several pictures with me, and you'll know what happened the moment you see them," Tang Jiayang said, and his secretary took out a file and opened it at once.

Tang Deming, on the other hand, got anxious. Does he really have evidence?

If Tang JIayang really had evidence, what should he do? It's impossible for him to call Tang Weiyong now.

Seeing Tang Deming's unusual reaction, the others all believed that he must be guilty, and they looked at him with dislike.

The secretary took out a pile of photos from the file, and handed them to those directors around the table.

When they saw the people in the photos, they were all shocked.

"I-is this Tang Weiyong? Isn't he dead?" Tang Zhilin exclaimed.

Those directors had worked in Tanghuang Group for nearly 20 years, so they clearly knew what had happened 19 years ago.

"Tang Deming is with him," the ninth director said, and looked annoyed.

The truth was exposed now. They were all familiar with Tang Weiyong, and knew that he was a selfish, self-centered, and cunning man. He had failed to steal Tang Haifeng's family business 19 years ago, so he had turned to scheme against Tang Yunfan.

Afterwards, Tang Weiyong faked his death, and appeared again, then several members of the Tang family were caught in an accident one after another. The answer couldn't be clearer.

Besides, Tang Deming had secretly met Tang Weiyong many times. Nobody would believe it if he said that there was no relationship between them.

With a loud sound, Tang Zhilin hit the photos on the table, and questioned Tang Deming in anger, "Tang Deming, tell us why you secretly met Tang Weiyong? Are you scheming together against the Tang family?"

Tang Deming was struck dumb, because he didn't expect that they would have the surveillance videos of that club. Not only him, but Tang Weiyong was also exposed right now.

"I think they just want to get control of Tanghuang Group. They must be involved in the accidents which happened to Chairman Yunfan, Master Tang and Jiayang!" The ninth director was also in a rage.

"Those are just some photos, which can't prove anything. You can't blame me for everything just because of several photos. Do you have other solid proof?" Tang Deming argued. He still tried to get away with it. However, it turned out that he couldn't.

"Although you're not the mastermind, you're an accomplice. You knew that Tang Weiyong was still alive. Why didn't you tell us? Did you think that you could get away with it?" Tang Jiayang said in a cold tone.

Tang Deming was in despair, and didn't know what to say. It was the truth. Although he wasn't the mastermind, he was an accomplice, and he would still be punished according to the law.

Since Tang Jiayang was able to get those photos, it wasn't difficult for him to find other solid proof.

Tang Jiayang added, "We also found out that you have 10% shares of Jazz Club. Jazz Club isn't a good place, and there are many illegal deals being done every day. To be honest with you, the police are on their way there now."

Jazz Club was the club owned by the person from Country Y, and it was Tang Weiyong's place as well.

Hearing that, Tang Deming understood that he was doomed.

Jazz Club was owned by a foreigner, and they had done many illegal deals there, so the government would punish its owner and shareholders without doubt.

Tang Deming collapsed on his chair, and didn't know what he should do now.

Chapter 766 Tang Deming Is Caugh

Tang Deming had agreed to work with Tang Weiyong because Tang Weiyong had saved his son's life before, and even promised to give him 10% shares of Jazz Club.

Many illegal deals were done in Jazz Club every day, so he could get dozens of millions of yuan from it every year.

Although it was barely comparable to his shares in Tanghuang Group, he was unwilling to reject the money. Most importantly, Tang Weiyong had saved his son's life once before.

However, what Tang Deming didn't know was that it was just a show directed and played by Tang Weiyong in order to make Tang Deming owe him so that Tang Deming would work for him.

"Tang Deming, the Tang family treated you very well. Why did you have to do this? Do you think that Chairman Yunfan isn't aware of what you've done behind his back during the past years? He just turned a blind eye on it, but you still want to hurt the benefits of the Tanghuang Group. How shameless you are!" Tang Zhilin strongly criticized Tang Deming.

Except for Tang Yunhang and Tang Yunrong, Tang Yunfan trusted Tang Zhilin most among the shareholders of Tanghuang Group. Therefore, Tang Zhilin was very close to Tang Yunfan.

"You shouldn't have worked with Tang Weiyong to scheme against Tanghuang Group!" The ninth director was also loyal to the Tang family.

Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan had stayed neutral all the time, so they didn't criticize Tang Deming now for fear of reprisal, even though they also disliked his behavior. They remembered clearly that their children had been abducted not to long ago!

Even though they remained silent, Tang Jiayang didn't mind.

Fu Kaiyu was Tang Deming's supporter, but he didn't dare to say a word right now either.

"Uncle Deming, I hope that you can give me a reasonable explanation. Maybe we'll punish you lightly given your relationship with my family," Tang Jiayang said.

Tang Deming frowned. He also understood that he would be put in jail if the Tang family refused to protect him. If the Tang family wanted to punish him, his whole life would be ruined.

"Uncle Deming, you don't have much time to waste here. Within half an hour, the police will arrive here too," Tang Jiayang added.

When Tang Jiayang went back to the Tanghuang Group's building, someone reported that there were many illegal deals being done in Jazz Club, and Tang Yunhang went to inspect it in person. The report was, of course, also just a show directed and played by them, but it was true that Jazz Club was involved in many illegal activities.

Its senior management was caught at once, and Jazz Club was sealed too.

Hearing that the police would be here within half an hour, Tang Deming finally opened his mouth. "I wasn't willing to do it myself, but Tang Weiyong saved my son's life before, so I had to work for him. I have nothing to do with the accidents which happened to Tang Yunfan and Master Tang, because Tang Weiyong wouldn't tell me details."

In that case, Tang Deming didn't commit a serious crime, but he was still going to be punished.

Tang Jiayang took out a document and threw it in front of Tang Deming. "Sign it, and we can let you go."

Hearing that, Tang Deming knew that the document wouldn't do him any good, but he had to accept it.

It was an equity transfer agreement. The Tanghuang Group would buy Tang Deming's shares back according to the market price. Even so, Tang Deming was still reluctant to sign it. If he had shares of the Tanghuang Group, he could get an annual dividend of over a hundred million yuan. If he sold his shares, he could get a large amount of money at once, but he wouldn't get a cent in the following years.

No matter how unwilling Tang Deming was, he had to sign his name on it in the end. Tang Jiayang also kept his word, and transferred the money to Tang Deming's bank account after he signed his name.

After that, the police came to arrest Tang Deming.

Just as Tang Jiayang had said, the police arrived within half an hour.

Tang Deming was arrested by the police, and the meeting was over.

Fu Kaiyu didn't let a long breath out until Tang Jiayang left the meeting room. He felt quite lucky that he wasn't punished.

The staff working in the building didn't know what had happened, but they understood that Tang Deming must have done illegal things for the police to come arrest him.

"What has Director Tang done? Why did the police arrest him?"

"Did he betray the company?"

"No way! If the company is in danger, he can't gain any benefits."

"Hard to say. Once the acting chairman got back, Director Tang was arrested by the police. I think that he might be involved in those accidents which happened to Chairman Yunfan, Master Tang and the acting chairman."

"Oh, right."

"If so, I think that Director Tang must want to be the chairman himself."

…

Their guesses were right, because it wasn't difficult to guess correctly given what had happened to the company in the past few days.

Before long, they heard the latest news that Tang Deming was fired by Tanghuang Group, but they still didn't know why the police arrested Tang Deming today.

Tang Weiyong also heard the news, but he couldn't figure out why things changed abruptly.

Chapter 767 Tang Weiyong Is Dead

Since Tang Deming was fired and caught, Tang Weiyong understood that his scheme was exposed, but he didn't know how much the Tang family knew about it, or whether Tang Deming would betray him. He was in a very dangerous situation now, so he thought that it was necessary for him to hide as soon as possible. As for what he should do next, he decided to make the decision later.

Therefore, Tang Weiyong took out his paperwork, and planned to leave the house first. However, when he went to open the door, a man blocked his way. Seeing the man's face, he was shocked and couldn't believe his eyes. "Tang Yunfan, h-how could you be fine?"

The man was exactly Tang Yunfan.

Isn't Tang Yunfan still unconscious? Why is he here?

Since Tang Yunfan showed up here, it meant that he had already recovered from the accident, but Tang Weiyong didn't know whether he had just woken up, or if he hadn't been hurt by the accident from the very beginning. Besides, if Tang Yunfan came here to find him, it meant that Tang Yunfan knew everything.

Tang Weiyong was scared.

"Of course I'm fine, because I have to pay you back!" Tang Yunfan sneered, and walked towards Tang Weiyong step by step. Tang Weiyong, at the same time, moved backwards.

Tang Weiyong knew that he was no match for Tang Yunfan in a fight, because his body was seriously damaged in a car accident many years ago. If Tang Yunfan was going to punch him, he could barely fight back.

"W-what do you want to do?" Tang Weiyong asked.

It was a stupid question, because Tang Yunfan obviously came here to get revenge on Tang Weiyong.

"What do I want to do? What do you think I'll do to a man who has hurt my family again and again?" Tang Yunfan said in a cold tone.

Tang Weiyong was terrified. He knew that it was highly likely that Tang Yunfan would kill him.

"You could be sentenced to death according to the law, but I prefer to do it myself," Tang Yunfan said.

"You…" Tang Weiyong was in a panic now. He didn't want to die.

"Tang Weiyong, I am surprised that you still want to scheme against me and my family after I let you go many years ago. What makes you think that you have the ability and excuse to act against us?" Tang Yunfan asked.

Tang Weiyong had no ability, nor excuse to take revenge, because he asked for the car accident 19 years ago. The Tang family had been kind and let him go because he had been seriously injured, otherwise he would have been put in jail for years. Unexpectedly, Tang Weiyong didn't feel grateful at all.

If it hadn't been for Gu Ning, Tang Weiyong's scheme might have succeeded.

Even so, he was still unable to take over Tanghuang Group.

"It's your fault! I lost everything because of you!" A selfish man like Tang Weiyong would never reflect on himself, but blamed others for everything.

"You schemed against me first, and you lost everything because of the stupid decision you made!" Tang Yunfan raised his voice.

"My father should have been the leading role in the Tang family, not yours! We just wanted to take the things that belong to us back." Tang Weiyong argued, and took it for granted.

Tang Yunfan sneered. "Tang Weiyong, even if my father didn't become the leading role in the Tang family, your father couldn't take over it either, because your father isn't an upright man and doesn't have the ability to run it well. In other words, our grandfather would let our aunt take over the Tang family if my father couldn't. Your father was never among the choices."

"You…" Tang Weiyong didn't know what to say, because Tang Yunfan was telling the truth. Tang Haiming wasn't qualified to take over the Tang family, but they refused to admit it.

"I don't have time to chat with you. Since you should have died 19 years ago, I don't think that there is anything wrong with it if you die now." Tang Yunfan moved closer to Tang Weiyong.

"You…" Tang Weiyong stepped backwards in fear. Although he was scared of death, he didn't beg Tang Yunfan to let him go, because he knew that Tang Yunfan wouldn't give him a second chance.

Tang Yunfan was right. He should have died 19 years ago, and it would make no difference if he died now. In addition, it was very easy for the Tang family to kill a person without being punished.

All in all, he was doomed to death today. However, he was unwilling to be killed without struggling, so he turned to run upstairs.

Tang Yunfan didn't hesitate and took out a gun to aim at Tang Weiyong. With the help of a silencer, the bullet just made a slight sound. It entered Tang Weiyong's body and he wasn't able to move anymore.

Within a few seconds, Tang Weiyong fell on the ground and died.

Since Tang Weiyong was already dead, Tang Yunfan left the house.

…

Tang Xinrui stayed in a hotel, thinking about what she should do next.

She didn't know that Tang Deming was caught by the police and Jazz Club was sealed until Mi Jiamei called her.

As a member of Jazz Club, Mi Jiamei was also on the wanted list. However, she didn't go there during the day, so the police missed her.

Mi Jiamei failed to get through to Tang Weiyong, and thought that he might have been caught too.

Hearing the shocking news, Tang Xinrui panicked.

768 It"s Not That Simple

Tang Xinrui made up her mind to leave as soon as possible. If she stayed here any longer, the Tang family might catch her as well. Therefore, she didn't hesitate and booked a plane ticket to Country Y, then left for the airport at once. Luckily, she had the paperwork with her.

As for Tang Weiyong, she didn't care whether he was alive or dead. He treated her unfairly, so it was not her fault for abandoning him now.

Ever since Quan Mingkai found out that Tang Xinrui was secretly helping Tang Weiyong, he had arranged for someone to spy on her, so he knew that Tang Xinrui was leaving City B, but he didn't stop her. After all, Tang Xinrui hadn't hurt the Tang family's benefits yet.

What happened to Tang Deming soon spread abroad among the high society in City B, and everyone got to know about his relationship with Jazz Club.

Although the Tang family hadn't accused him of his involvement in those accidents which had happened to Tang Yunfan, Tang Haifeng and Tang Jiayang yet, it was easy for others to connect the dots. Accordingly, people tended to believe that it was the truth.

Tang Deming's family was amid criticisms because of that.

Mu Wenqi was also caught by the police because he owned 20% shares of Jazz Club.

The moment Mu Xuxin heard about it, he drove to the Public Security Bureau and tried to bail Mu Wenqi out. Although Mu Wenqi had done illegal things, they weren't severe, and he would be sentenced to two or three years in jail at the most. The Mu family was an influential family in City B, and Mu Xuxin was confident that his son would be fine.

However, the Tang family didn't think so, and the Public Security Bureau just allowed Mu Xuxin to have a short meeting with Mu Wenqi.

Mu Xuxin wasn't aware of Mu Wenqi's relationship with Tang Weiyong, but he knew that Mu Wenqi owned shares of Jazz Club. Jazz Club was sealed because of illegal deals, but Mu Xuxin thought that it wasn't a big deal. It was a very common thing in clubs anyway, but it would be fine if the club wasn't discovered or had a powerful support. In that case, Mu Xuxin didn't blame Mu Wenqi.

Jazz Club was owned by a man from Country Y, so it obviously didn't have a powerful support in City B. Once it was discovered, it was doomed.

Mu Wenqi, however, was a member of the Mu family, but the police still refused to let him go, which confused Mu Xuxin. At the same time, he realized that it probably wasn't that simple.

He didn't know many details about it yet. All he knew was that Jazz Club was found to be involved in the sex and drug trade, and its senior management was all arrested by the police.

"Wenqi, what happened? Why did they refuse to let you go?" Mu Xuxin asked with a serious face.

Mu Wenqi said, "The Tang family is also involved in this case, and they, of course, don't dare to let me go without the Tang family's permission."

"I'll go to find Tang Yunhang," Mu Xuxin said. He believed that the Tang family would do him a favor for the sake of their close relationship in business. In his eyes, the Tang family didn't know that Mu Wenqi was involved so the police caught Mu Wenqi along with other people. There was no need for the Tang family to deal with it in person after all.

"It's not that simple." Mu Wenqi looked upset.

"Why?" Mu Xuxin got nervous.

"I just found out that the boss of Jazz Club has a grudge against the Tang family, so I'm afraid that the Tang family might think that I'm helping them, but I merely joined them for money," Mu Wenqi said.

In fact, it was a lie, because Mu Wenqi didn't dare to let his father know about his relationship with Tang Weiyong.

Even though he was just aware that Tang Weiyong aimed to get control of Tanghuang Group, and he wasn't involved in the accidents which had happened to Tang Yunfan, Tang Haifeng and Tang Jiayang, he was still guilty because he sided with the Tang family's enemy. If he wanted the Tang family to forgive him, he better not be involved in the mess.

However, it wasn't easy to fool the Tang family, so Mu Wenqi was worried that he might be put in jail too.

"It's fine. I can explain it to him." Mu Xuxin believed Mu Wenqi's words.

Mu Wenqi didn't know what else he could do now, but hoped that his father could help him out.

After that, Mu Xuxin called Tang Yunhang.

Tang Yunhang used to think that Mu Wenqi dared to help Tang Weiyong because he had Mu Xuxin's approval, but it was obvious that Mu Xuxin knew nothing about it after hearing his explanation on the phone.

Although Mu Wenqi was also an accomplice like Tang Deming in the case, he hadn't directly hurt the Tang family's benefits, so Tang Yunhang decided not to sue him for the sake of the Mu family. However, the Tang family wouldn't help him and also hoped that he would be punished for his involvement in Jazz Club.

Tang Yunhang thought for a while, then said, "Xuxin, I'm afraid I can't help you bail Wenqi out, because the news has already spread abroad. If I'm involved in it, I could be in danger. You know how many people want to replace me, right?"

Although Tang Yunhang was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it didn't mean that everyone was afraid of him. On the contrary, he had many enemies in politics.

Cliques and factions always existed in politics, and every official had his own supporters.

Normally, those who had more supporters would be more likely to gain the most powerful seat.

There were different groups of people in the center of politics, and nobody dared to stay neutral, because one would lose his position at any moment without a powerful team behind his back.

Everyone wanted to promote his allies and occupy the important seats so that he could gain more advantages and benefits.

Tang Yunhang was the only official who stayed neutral in politics in City B, because he had the Tang family as his backing.

769 Share Donation Agreemen

Although Tang Yunhang stayed neutral in politics, there were people who still tried to convince him to join them. Coercion and bribery were just common ways of drawing someone over to their side. Sometimes, they would slap you at first before they gave you a candy.

In other words, they would cause you trouble or scheme against you at first, then gave you a helping hand when you were in danger. Of course, they would hide their real identities when they dealt with you. Since they helped you, you owed them a favor.

Luckily, Tang Yunhang was an upright man who always acted according to the rules, so he gave nobody any ammunition. In addition, he had the Tang family's support, so coercion and bribery didn't work for him.

Mu Xuxin understood Tang Yunhang's explanation, but he didn't think that it was a big deal given Tang Yunhang's position and the Tang family's influence. Therefore, Mu Xuxin felt that Tang Yunhang was unwilling to help Mu Wenqi because he didn't believe that Mu Wenqi was innocent.

Without solid proof, it was understandable that Tang Yunhang didn't believe Mu Wenqi. Since Tang Yunhang declined to bail Mu Wenqi out, Mu Xuxin had to give it up.

Qi Ziyue also heard the news, and went to the Public Security Bureau to visit Mu Wenqi at once. However, Mu Wenqi's father had just visited him, so the police wouldn't allow others to meet him again.

Qi Ziyue was confused. Since Mu Wenqi's father had been here before, why didn't his father bail him out? It wasn't a serious crime after all, and it was merely nothing in the eyes of the high class. The Mu family was an influential family in City B, so it should be very easy for them to bail Mu Wenqi out, but Mu Wenqi was still locked in the Public Security Bureau.

Qi Ziyue and Mu Wenqi were close friends, and he had visited the Mu family's house many times before, so he was familiar with Mu Xuxin as well. Without delay, Qi Ziyue called Mu Xuxin to figure out what had happened.

After talking with Mu Xuxin on the phone, Qi Ziyue got to know that the Tang family in City B was also involved in this case.

It was a tricky problem.

Qi Ziyue wanted to help them, but he could do nothing about it now.

The crisis confronting the Tanghuang Group came to an end right after it began, but the Tang family had been through a lot behind the scenes. If it hadn't been for Gu Ning, Tang Yunfan, Tang Haifeng and Tang Jiayang could have been killed.

Compared with their lives, the Tanghuang Group was nothing. If they could stay alive, everything was possible. If they were killed, the Tanghuang Group was meaningless to them.

Tang Yunfan came back to the Tanghuang Group's building right after Tang Weiyong was killed, because only he could handle the situation.

The moment Tang Yunfan showed up, everyone was excited and shocked, because they just heard the news that Tang Yunfan was still unconscious this morning.

Since Tang Yunfan appeared now, they believed that it must have been fake news.

Some also believed that it was the truth that Tang Yunfan had been caught in a car accident, but he turned it to his own use in order to catch the mastermind behind the scheme against Tanghuang Group.

Once Tang Deming was caught, Tang Yunfan came back.

The news that Tang Yunfan came back to work in the company went abroad within a short time, and people all believed that they had been deceived by those previous rumors.

Anyway, the Tang family overcame the crisis, and Tang Yunfan got control of the Tanghuang Group again.

In the afternoon, Tang Haifeng also left the hospital for the Tang family's house. It wasn't a pleasant experience that he had stayed in the hospital for so many days, and he felt much more relaxed in his own home.

The Lei family came to visit him a while later.

Zhao Yiru also came along with Master Lei and Lei Haowei.

Zhao Yiru wasn't worried at all, because he knew everything, but the Lei family was deeply concerned about the Tang family. They thought that Tang Yunfan had gone abroad, but heard that he was caught in a car accident today.

Lei Haowei called Tang Yunhang for confirmation the moment he heard the bad news.

The problem was almost solved when Lei Haowei called Tang Yunhang, so Tang Yunhang didn't keep it a secret from him anymore, and told him the truth, but didn't tell him many details.

Lei Haowei also understood that it was their family conflict, so he didn't ask further as long as Tang Yunfan was fine.

Lei Haowei, Master Lei and Zhao Yiru left after sharing dinner with the Tang family.

Tang Yunfan then told Gu Ning to follow him to the study. When they were alone in the study, Tang Yunfan took out a file and gave it to Gu Ning. "Sign this."

Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second, then used her Jade Eyes to see what was inside. She was surprised to see that there was a share donation agreement.

Tang Yunfan was going to give her 8% shares of the Tanghuang Group, which he bought from Tang Deming.

Gu Ning had no intention to take it, but she still opened it.

"I can't take this," she said afterwards. She put it back on the table and pushed it back in front of Tang Yunfan.

"Why?" Tang Yunfan wasn't very surprised, because he knew that Gu Ning wouldn't take it, but he sincerely wanted her to accept it.

"It's too much, and I prefer to build my career on my own," Gu Ning said.

"You deserve this. If it hadn't been for you, our family could have been ruined. You can take this as a reward," Tang Yunfan said.

"We're a family, and we don't talk about rewards with family members," Gu Ning said.

770 Prepare for the Wedding

"Well, if so, take it as a gift. You're my daughter, and it's reasonable that you take your father's gift, right?" Tang Yunfan said.

Gu Ning was struck dumb. She was Tang Yunfan's daughter, and Tang Yunfan would feel hurt if she rejected his gift. Gu Ning thought for a while, then had an idea.

"I can take it, but it'll be my mother's wedding gift. When my mother marries you, I'll let her sign it," Gu Ning said, then took the share donation agreement.

Tang Yunfan agreed. He didn't care what she did with it as long as she accepted it.

After that, they went downstairs together.

In the living room, Gu Man lowered her head. It seemed like she felt very uneasy, but the others were chatting and laughing.

"Ningning, come here. I have something to discuss with you," Tang Haifeng said to Gu Ning with a smile.

"Sure, grandpa." Gu Ning walked over and sat with Tang Haifeng.

"Ningning, since the crisis is resolved, I think it's time for your mother to marry your father, so you can officially join us as a family." Tang Haifeng couldn't wait a second longer to accept Gu Ning as a member of his family.

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood why Gu Man felt nervous.

Gu Man lowered her head even more when she heard that, while Tang Yunfan's face lit up at once.

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Grandpa, I think it's up to my father whether he can marry my mother. He must propose to my mother if he wants to marry her."

Gu Man had lived with Tang Yunfan as girlfriend and boyfriend. Although they had a daughter, a proposal was still needed if they wanted to be married.

��Right, Ningning's right. You must propose first," Jiang Lihua said. Every woman dreamed to have a romantic proposal.

The others all agreed with Jiang Lihua.

"Yunfan, propose now!" Tang Haifeng urged Tang Yunfan.

"Ha-ha." Gu Ning snorted with laughter.

Not only Gu Ning, but the others also laughed out loud, which made Gu Man feel even more nervous.

It was necessary for Tang Yunfan to propose to Gu Man, but it didn't mean that he could do it without preparation.

Gu Ning said, "Grandpa, we must be prepared before the proposal. We need flowers, a diamond ring, and a romantic setting! If it's not romantic enough, I don't think my mother will be willing to get married."

Gu Ning said it on purpose to give Tang Yunfan advice, because she was afraid that Tang Yunfan knew nothing about it.

Tang Yunfan had actually already hired a famous international jewelry designer to design and make a diamond ring for Gu Man, but he didn't tell anyone else in the Tang family.

Tang Haifeng was a member of the older generation, so he didn't know much about the romance the younger generation cared about, but he thought that it was reasonable after hearing Gu Ning's explanation.

"Sure. Yunfan, go prepare for it as soon as possible, and then we can prepare for the wedding as fast as we could," Tang Haifeng said.

"No problem." Tang Yunfan was thrilled. If it was possible, he would propose to Gu Man tomorrow and marry her the day after tomorrow, but he knew that it took time to prepare for the wedding. Moreover, he decided to hold a grand wedding for Gu Man.

Gu Man flushed red, and didn't know what to say. At the same time, she felt happier than ever.

Seeing Gu Man being so shy, Gu Ning said that they should go home now because it wasn't early.

Tang Yunfan walked them to the car, and didn't walk back until they disappeared from his sight.

"Mom, he's so in love with you," Gu Ning joked.

Gu Man's face turned red. "Ningning, don't joke about your parents!"

"I'm not joking. It's the truth, right, Qiao Ya?" Gu Ning asked Qiao Ya.

"Yes," Qiao Ya replied with a serious face. "Gao Yi has never shown his love for me in his eyes or on his face."

Gao Yi loved Qiao Ya deeply, and he even valued Qiao Ya above his own life. He would dash forward to protect her every time they were in danger, but he was a well-trained killer after all, so he learned how to hide his real feelings very well.

Speaking of Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, they were both ruthless killers, but fell in love with each other in the end. They joined the killer organization together, and were trained together. As time went by, their affection for one another grew deeper, and they ached to live their life like common people.

Gu Man didn't know what to say, but still felt quite happy in her heart.

Although she had been apart from Tang Yunfan for so many years, they always missed each other, so it was easy for them to fall in love again.

Gu Man flushed upon thinking that she was going to marry Tang Yunfan, but she also hoped that that day could come as soon as possible.

Gu Ning also stopped joking, but began to think about what kind of wedding gift she should prepare for Gu Man. She made up her mind to send her mother a special wedding gift.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ning remembered the two diamonds Leng Shaoting had given her, and decided to use the blue diamond to make a pair of earrings and a pendant.

In addition, she would open a branch of Kamei Beauty Salon in City B as a wedding gift for Gu Man too.
