Tang Tianhao said in a low voice. Although he knew his son would not let this matter go, for now, he had no choice but to swallow his pride!
After all, this matter had become far more complicated than it seemed. His wife was in their hands, and Tang Hao's mother was also in their hands!
He had to admit, the people from the Dragon Pavilion were truly formidable. With just a single video, they had managed to convince such an old hand, such an old fox.
The Dragon Pavilion was indeed a large talent base, filled with all sorts of skilled individuals!
"No matter what grudges you have with him, you cannot touch him today. If you do, your mother will not be returned!"
Tang Tianhao said in a low tone, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Even though his own son had kidnapped the other party, was the other party entirely blameless?
If Xia Mo had not severed his son's palm, such a thing would never have happened. Thus, in the end, it was still the other party who refused to be sensible!
Allowing him to follow his son's side like a dog was already a great honor. Yet, he dared to bite his master, wasn't that courting death? But now, it was indeed very troublesome.
"Hmph! Xia Mo, you've escaped this ordeal today, but you'd better not go to the Xia family compound. Otherwise, I'll catch you and abduct you every time I see you!"
Tang Hao glared at Xia Mo resentfully, wishing he could skin him alive and pound his bones, but he was helpless, with no other option. Today, he could only let him go.
"Scram!"
After Tang Hao released him, he said with great helplessness.
However, it was at this moment that Ye Longlin and Xia Qingxie appeared, walking quickly towards them and witnessing this scene.
"Clap clap clap."
"A brilliant move, President Tang. In the morning, you kidnapped my maternal grandfather and daughter, then sent me to the Dragon Investigation Bureau, and during that time, you took my brother. It was all planned, one step after another. You truly are impressive, President Tang. Well done."
"But has President Tang ever considered that such actions are illegal? While you may be fine, your son has committed the crime of kidnapping."
Tang Tianhao looked at Ye Longlin with a blank expression, his tone indifferent. "I don't understand what you're talking about. Furthermore, this matter has nothing to do with me. I only realized it was my son at the last moment. As for the kidnapping you mentioned, that's even more impossible."
Ye Longlin grinned, "It seems President Tang doesn't know what kidnapping is. Well, I can explain to you what the crime of kidnapping entails."
"Kidnapping refers to the process of illegally using violent means against a victim to hold them hostage, usually to extort, blackmail, or achieve other conditions or objectives. Your son kidnapping my brother was for revenge, isn't that kidnapping?"
Tang Tianhao scoffed upon hearing this, "If that's the case, then you kidnapped my wife as well."
Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and chuckled softly, "I did not kidnap your wife. Moreover, I would never do such a thing. As for what you saw, it was merely that I have some talented subordinates who are skilled in special effects production. It's quite simple to extract a segment of video from your home and transform the ground into a forest."
"As for your wife, she is still in your home. You should be able to check your home's surveillance now. If you don't believe me, you can open your home surveillance and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Tang Tianhao's face immediately darkened. So, all this time, his wife had been at home and had not been kidnapped?
"Then what about the butler?"
Tang Tianhao took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
"Find two people to steal the phone and set up call forwarding. When you call the butler's phone, someone else will naturally answer."
Ye Longlin explained with a smile.
Damn it!
After listening to Ye Longlin's words, Tang Tianhao was almost infuriated to death.
So, in the end, this was all a scheme, a scheme specifically targeting him. Of course, if his son hadn't caused all these troubles, he wouldn't have fallen into this trap.
"Of the thirty-six stratagems, attacking the heart is paramount. A brilliant strategy."
Although he had lost this confrontation with Ye Longlin, he also recognized Ye Longlin's top-tier skills and capabilities. It was not a good idea to make an enemy of such a person.
But now, the two parties were already enemies, and there was no room for reconciliation.
As they were talking, a group of special police officers had already surrounded the area.
"The Dragon Investigation Bureau is here too, hehe."
"Your stratagems, Ye Longlin, are indeed intricate and well-planned. I can't withstand such a series of moves. You are the real deal. However, this matter is not over yet."
Tang Tianhao had nothing more to say. In this confrontation with Ye Longlin, he had been completely at a disadvantage. From the moment Ye Longlin called him, he had been on the back foot, and at that time, he had no idea. All he knew was that his wife had been kidnapped.
But now he realized that in the video Ye Longlin sent him, only his wife was real; everything else was special effects!
So, up to this point, he had been completely fooled, and what's worse, he had sent his own son into trouble!
However, the problem wasn't too big; he would be out before long.
The Dragon Investigation Bureau officers stepped forward and took Tang Hao away, signifying the end of this matter.
"Are you alright?"
Xia Qingxie asked Xia Mo, but judging by his appearance, he didn't seem alright.
"Let's go to the hospital first. Your ribs are likely broken. The ambulance is already waiting outside. Don't move carelessly, to avoid bone fragments piercing your organs."
Ye Longlin said after glancing at him, having seen his injuries at a glance.
"Alright."
Tang Tianhao gave Ye Longlin a deep look before turning to leave.
Xia Qingxie and Ye Longlin then drove back to the city.
"Third Uncle, let's have a family dinner tonight. Xiao Qi's father will also be here, and Lin Tian Ai will be here too. We'll all have dinner together. I've already asked Xiao Qi to notify Second Uncle. We'll go see Mom with Xiao Qi later. Are you coming?"
Ye Longlin said as he sat in the passenger seat, rolling down the window, lighting a cigarette, and speaking slowly.
"A family dinner, alright. I'll head back to the company first to arrange some matters. After all, there are still quite a few things to do for the new company's establishment."
Xia Qingxie said after a moment of silence, mainly because the new company's affairs were quite troublesome.
"You two go ahead first. Let me know when you're about to leave, and I won't leave with you. I'll head directly from here."
Ye Longlin nodded, "Alright, bring your father-in-law and Tian Ai along later. We'll come back for dinner after we get there."
"Okay."
Baichuan Group, this was the new company, established to counter the Giant Whale Merchant Association.
Once everything was arranged, this trade war would slowly commence.
