As time went by, the nurses and doctors had already left the ICU. Only Tang Zhechen, Tang Xin, and Tangtang were left behind. Sky Dragon and Ye Zi stood by the door silently.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Tang Xin couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, can Mr. Yang really cure my sister? The poison in my sister's body is much stronger than the one I had before. Shouldn't we ask Miss Yiling for help?"
Tang Zhechen closed his eyes as if he was praying for something. "This time, Miss Yiling is powerful, but she is in the UK. The poison in your sister's body is very difficult to understand. It is an acute poison. If we delay, it will be too late. Moreover, Miss Yiling is using a scientific method. It will take a lot of time to collect materials and prove it. It can't be done in a short period of time. So, asking Miss Yiling for help is the last resort. "
"But Mr. Yang … Can he really do it?" Tang Xin's eyes flickered as she bit her lip.
Tangtang said, "Uncle can definitely do it. I know he is very powerful!"
Tang Zhechen turned around and looked at his excited great-granddaughter. "Tangtang, tell me the truth. Are you angry with me?"
Tangtang was stunned. She shook her head. "Grandpa … Why do you say that?"
Tang Zhechen grabbed Tangtang's hand lovingly. "You grew up with your mother in the south. You don't go home often. I have never taken care of you. Now that your mother brought you back to Yan Jing, this happened. I feel sorry for you and your mother … "
Tang Tang lowered her head in silence. "I know great grandpa had no choice. Mom often told me that if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have lived until now … So, I'm very happy that great grandpa is willing to acknowledge me."
Tang Zhechen laughed. "Why not? You are Wan 'er's daughter. You are her flesh and blood. Naturally, you are my great-granddaughter. How can I not acknowledge you?"
"But … but I'm just a …" Tangtang clenched her teeth, unable to speak.
"So what if it's a test tube baby? There are plenty of test tube babies overseas. I'm not that old-fashioned," Tang Zhechen patted Tangtang's hand and said, "Tangtang, don't worry, your mother will definitely recover. Great Grandfather wants to hand over the Tang Family to your mother, and your mother wants to hand over the Tang Family to you. No one can stop this. "
Hearing such heartfelt words, not only Tangtang, but even Tang Xin, who was standing behind the wheelchair, was stunned.
The reason why the Tang Family was in such a mess was that Tang Zhechen had never expressed his intention to give the position to his successor. Tang Zhechen said those words to Tang Tang on such an occasion. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was trying to fool Tang Tang. He was just comforting his great-granddaughter. Was there a need to say those words?
Tang Xin's pretty face was clouded with uncertainty. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
"Great Grandfather … I … I only know how to fool around. I don't know how to run a business." Even though Tangtang was inexperienced, she knew how intense the internal strife within the family was. Hearing Tang Zhechen's words, she felt inexplicably terrified and shook her head.
"Don't worry, Great Grandfather is still here. Your mother will teach you in the future. Trust in Great Grandfather's judgment. Our Tangtang will be the most ideal successor in the future," Tang Zhechen pursed his lips and smiled, as if he could already see the future.
Sky Dragon and Ye Zi, who were standing not far away, heard the conversation between the Tang Family's grandfather and granddaughter. However, they were outsiders, and the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade did not participate in the family's internal strife.
After comforting Tangtang, Tang Zhechen turned to Tang Xin, who was behind him, and said, "Xin 'er, it's been hard on you these days. When I was sick, I relied on you to take care of me. Now that your sister is poisoned, you have to take care of me and your sister. You are the most filial among all my descendants."
Tang Xin smiled tactfully and shook her head, "Grandpa, this is what I should do. I'm not as smart as my sister, so I can only do these small things. "
"Everyone has their own strengths. I don't think your elder sister can take care of me." Tang Zhechen smiled. "You're not young anymore. Grandpa promises that I'll find you a suitable marriage in the near future. I can't let you accompany me all these years for nothing."
"Grandpa, Xin 'er is willing to serve you," Tang Xin said eagerly.
Tang Zhechen sighed, "I know you're kind and filial, but looking at you and the rest of the bastards in the family, this old man is really disappointed."
Hearing this, Tangtang and Tang Xin did not say anything. After Tang Wan was poisoned, the Tang Clan only came to check on her once. After that, no one came to visit her, and no one asked about Tang Wan's condition. They were all thinking about how they should take sides if Tang Wan could not be saved, and how they should divide the Maple Group that Tang Wan left behind.
Tang Zhechen could guess these things even when he was in the hospital. On the other hand, his students and friends from other clans came to visit in time. How could he not sigh?
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the tunnel. The footsteps were steady and powerful, and one could sense an extraordinary aura from them.
When they got closer, they saw that it was a handsome young man, accompanied by two strong men in camouflage military uniforms.
The young man had a tanned complexion and an ordinary face. He wore a short-sleeved blue shirt with a sloppy beard. What made people feel strange was that one of the young man's eyes was covered with a black eyepatch, just like a pirate in a Western movie. Coupled with the young man's high-spirited aura, he exuded a murderous aura.
It was also because of this unique temperament that even though he wasn't particularly majestic, he didn't seem to be inferior to the two burly men even though he was standing in front of them.
Tang Zhechen was puzzled when he saw the unfamiliar young man. His students were all middle-aged and elderly, so it was natural that he would not be this young.
Tang Xin and Tangtang had never seen this man before, so they looked at him curiously.
On the other hand, Sky Dragon and Ye could see the "surprise" in each other's eyes. Apparently, they knew who this young man was.
The youth walked up to Patriarch Tang and revealed a forthright smile. His voice also contained a bit of the savanna's accent. "This should be the Tang family's Patriarch Tang. This junior is called Li Dun. As soon as I returned to Yanjing, I heard that the Tang family's sister Tang Wan was gravely ill. It just so happens that my grandfather and father weren't able to make it in time, so I came to visit her."
Li Dun?!
Tang Zhechen immediately understood when he heard the name. Of course he knew this young man. He was one of the "Yan Jin King Duo" along with Yan Buwen from the Yan Clan. The difference between Li Dun and Yan Buwen was that Li Dun was outstanding because of his strength and his outstanding achievements on the battlefield.
Because Li Dun had been on missions at the border and abroad for many years, not many people knew about him even though he was famous in Yan Jin. Even the science geek Yan Buwen, a young man who rarely appeared in public, looked more familiar than Li Dun.
Tang Zhechen was a shrewd man, so he quickly noticed Li Dun's uniqueness. Tangtang's eyes lit up when she heard of Li Dun, but Tang Xin's eyes flashed with disdain.
But it was this moment of disdain that made Li Dun's attention turn to Tang Xin.
"Pretty lady, did I offend you in any way?" Li Dun grinned at Tang Xin.
Tang Xin didn't expect Li Dun to notice that. She was a little embarrassed, but she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "Young Master Li, you must be joking. It's our first time meeting, and I'm just an ignorant woman. Why would you offend me?"
Li Dun asked without hesitation, "But lady, why are you still full of disdain and anger towards me?"
Tang Xin was shocked. Li Dun could even tell that she was angry. How was that possible?!
Tang Zhechen squinted his eyes and said, "I heard from the old man Li Moshen that his precious grandson could detect even the slightest change in other people's emotions. His observation skills are unparalleled. I didn't expect him to be telling the truth."
"You're flattering me, Elder Tang. I'm just a little sensitive. I'm used to trying to understand the situation in front of me. It's just an occupational disease," Li Dun said with relief.
Tang Xin put her hand on her chest and lowered her head, refusing to look at Li Dun.
However, Li Dun sneaked a few glances at Tang Xin, as if he was still thinking about why a woman he had never met before would express such dissatisfaction towards him.
Tang Zhechen smiled playfully. "As far as I know, you're not the kind of person who likes to be overly formal. I'm guessing you're not here just to visit my sick granddaughter …"
Li Dun didn't hide it. He laughed and said, "Since Elder Tang said so, I won't hide it anymore. I've been on a mission in Vietnam for the past six months, and I've just returned to Beijing for two days. Today, I received news that an opponent that I'm interested in has come to Beijing from Zhonghai. I've been interested in challenging him for the past two years, and now that he's here, I won't let him go."
"As expected, you're here for Yang Cheng!" Tang Zhechen shook his head and smiled.
Tang Xin and Tangtang were puzzled. Why is Yang Cheng so famous?
