The courtyard for family members!
Under the grape trellis of the siheyuan, a lame middle-aged man stood respectfully before the old man.
“Sir, the woman who came to visit me is Tang Xinwan, a descendant of the Tang family in Yangzhou. Her father is… Tang Qingshi!”
Upon hearing the name, the old man’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance. He looked complex, let out a wry smile, and sighed, “It’s actually his daughter!”
The lame middle-aged man also gave a self-deprecating smile, “If it weren’t for me back then, the Tang brothers and his wife wouldn’t have ventured into such danger. I managed to keep my dog’s life, but how can I face their descendants?”
“Did you tell her?” the old man asked.
“No, she’s just an ordinary person. Once she knows these secrets, she’ll be more likely to fall into danger. Besides, I heard that two years ago, the Tang family patriarch was critically ill!”
At this point, the lame middle-aged man said gravely, “I suspect someone was behind him!”
Two years ago, the Tang family patriarch was investigating the clues of his son and daughter-in-law’s disappearance. During the investigation, he inexplicably fell ill and had been in a coma for two years.
Therefore, it was natural to suspect that someone was behind it.
The old man hesitated, “You suspect the traitor?”
The lame middle-aged man snorted and gritted his teeth, “That incident back then was very strange. Even if the Tang brothers and his wife saved me, they wouldn’t have fallen into danger. It must have been that traitor.”
“It’s just a pity that after so many years, the traitor’s identity hasn’t been found. It’s truly hateful!”
“This matter involves the entire Dragon Group. You did right by not telling her. You can go back! I will try my best to erase any traces of her investigating this matter.” the old man said.
Erasing Tang Xinwan’s traces in her investigation was to prevent the traitor behind the scenes from knowing and thus targeting Tang Xinwan.
The lame middle-aged man nodded and turned to leave.
In the courtyard!
The old man closed his eyes and pondered. After a while, he muttered to himself, “It’s been years, and that person is truly patient!”
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said to the young military officer standing beside him, who had not disturbed him, “Secretary Li, investigate that young man’s background and his relationship with the Tang family.”
“Understood!” The young military officer nodded.
Ten minutes later.
“Sir, that person’s name is Ye Cangtian. I heard he’s Tang Xinwan’s fiancé, but the source of the information needs to be verified. However, he has indeed been very close to Tang Xinwan recently.”
“This document details his activities in Yangzhou recently,” the young military officer handed over a document.
The old man picked up his reading glasses from the coffee table and began to read the document.
The document was very detailed, describing all of Ye Cangtian’s actions in Yangzhou.
Whether it was the bank hostage incident, the downfall of the He Corporation, his close relationship with Liu Rumei, or the defeat of the Overlord Tiger, all were related to him.
It even mentioned that he had a god-sister, Qin Yiyu, who was the youngest disciple of the stock god Shen San. This was all recorded in the document.
It was extremely detailed!
After reading the document, the old man raised his eyebrows and asked, “This is only his activity log for two months. What about before?”
The young military officer shook his head, “We couldn’t find anything. We only know he entered the country two months ago, but there are rumors that he might be the founder of the overseas mercenary organization – the Death God Mercenary Squad.”
Although it was just a guess, there was already a 60% possibility!
The old man took a deep breath and couldn’t help but smile, “This kid is indeed an interesting person. It seems the plan needs to be moved up. The Dragon Group needs a bamboo pole to stir up this murky water!”
The young military officer seemed to have thought of something but wisely did not respond. Su Dan Novel Network.
…
Twelve o’clock at noon!
Tang Xinwan got out of the taxi, made a phone call, spoke a few words, and then headed straight into a Western restaurant.
Seeing her enter the Western restaurant with a happy smile, Ye Cangtian, who had gotten out of another taxi, couldn’t help but complain.
Seeing who? So happy?
He looked up at the Western restaurant, wanting to go in and see, but afraid of being discovered by Tang Xinwan, he hesitated.
At this moment, after entering the Western restaurant, Tang Xinwan looked around the restaurant. Soon, a woman in the distance waved at her, “Xinwan, over here!”
Tang Xinwan smiled and walked over. After sitting down, she said, “Yanran, weren’t you studying abroad? Why are you back?”
The woman opposite her was beautiful, dressed elegantly, with delicate features, but possessed a scholarly aura.
Besides giving a beautiful and stunning impression, she also evoked the words – “academic queen”!
Shangguan Yanran smiled and explained, “I’ll be back for a few days and then have to return to Europe. I originally planned to visit you in Yangzhou, but I didn’t expect you to come to Kyoto!”
The two had known each other for many years. During college, they were very good friends.
Later, Tang Xinwan returned to Yangzhou to take over her parents’ business, while Shangguan Yanran went abroad to study. Although they hadn’t seen each other for many years, they had kept in touch.
“After so many years, does my President Tang have someone she fancies? Oh, right, you mentioned in a phone call last time that there was an annoying guy bothering you. Who is it?”
“There’s no such thing!” A blush appeared on Tang Xinwan’s pretty face.
She occasionally chatted with her best friend on the phone and often confided in her.
The last time Ye Cangtian was kicked out of her house, she was in a bad mood for those few days. When she chatted with her best friend, she casually said, “The reason I’m upset lately is because of an annoying guy!”
Although they were best friends, there were some things she was too embarrassed to say.
Tang Xinwan was about to cover it up when she looked up and saw a familiar figure outside the window looking inside. A hint of anger flashed across her brows.
She gritted her teeth and muttered fiercely, “Didn’t I tell you not to follow me? You scoundrel!”
Tang Xinwan had no intention of bringing Ye Cangtian when she came to see her best friend this time, because she felt that their relationship was somewhat ambiguous.
Shangguan Yanran glanced at Tang Xinwan’s expression, turned back to look, and then covered her mouth with a chuckle, “Xinwan, is it him? It seems he’s quite worried about you.”
At this moment, Tang Xinwan knew there was no need to hide it and sighed.
She told him about the engagement and also recounted their experiences during these days.
After a while.
Shangguan Yanran nodded, “Although this person’s background doesn’t match yours, he seems to care about you a lot. Knowing you were kidnapped, he rushed to save you without hesitation!”
Tang Xinwan’s expression was complicated. In fact, looking back at everything that had happened, Ye Cangtian’s figure had already become unforgettable in her mind.
Whether it was the bank hostage incident, the company crisis, her grandfather’s illness that he cured, or her later kidnapping to a different place, it was also that guy who stepped forward.
Shangguan Wan’er smiled and said, “As long as you like him. Actually, after hearing you talk about him, I’m quite curious about him! Don’t girls all dream of having a knight in shining armor who thinks about them in everything they do?”
Tang Xinwan couldn’t help but retort, “What knight in shining armor is he? He’s more like a black horse! This guy is never serious, who knows what he’s thinking.”
She wasn’t sure if Ye Cangtian liked her. After all, from the beginning, the entanglement between them was only because of that engagement.
“It’s very simple to know if he truly likes you!”
Shangguan Yanran said with a smile, “Look him in the eye for ten seconds, and if he kisses you actively, then it proves that he really likes you!”
Kiss me actively?
Tang Xinwan’s pretty face turned red. She thought that guy was very wicked and probably wanted to do this for a long time. Wouldn’t testing him like this be like throwing herself into a tiger’s mouth?
However, Shangguan Yanran’s words made sense. She could test him appropriately!
