Chen Xintao's expression slightly changed and a cautious look appeared in his eyes. He then said in a deep voice, "We're in troubled times now, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Call Haoran immediately and ask him if this matter has anything to do with him."
Chen Shuo picked up his mobile. Just as he dialed his son Chen Haoran's number, the call was directly hung up.
"What happened?"
Asked Chen Xintao.
"He didn't pick up and directly hung up." Chen Shuo forced a smile.
Just as Chen Xintao was about to speak, he suddenly saw a figure coming in from the door. He nodded and said, "Haoran has come back, so I have something to ask you."
Chen Haoran's mouth twitched twice. He walked to Chen Xintao and knelt down, saying bitterly, "I seem to have made a mistake, Grandpa."
Chen Xintao and Chen Shuo exchanged glances. A bad premonition was born inside their hearts. "Tell me, Su Xiaoguang offended Tan Xiu of the Tang Family. Are you also involved?" asked Chen Xintao in a deep voice.
Chen Haoran hesitated and said, "I think I also offended him, Grandpa."
BAM …
Chen Xintao might be old, but he was very agile in getting up. He kicked Chen Haoran's chest and knocked him to the ground. Then, he shouted sternly, "Tell me everything that happened. Don't leave out a single word! "
Chen Haoran's lips squirmed as he recounted the whole story. Finally, he bitterly said, "It was just a small conflict between us. It was Su Xiaoguang who insulted Tan Xiu, so I didn't say anything."
A cold light flashed in Chen Xintao's eyes. After pondering for a few minutes, he lit up a cigarette and took a few deep puffs, saying, "Shuo 'er, transfer the family's funds to a bank card immediately. Then take Haoran to the Tang Family to apologize. "
"How much money?" asked Chen Shuo hesitantly.
Chen Xintao pinched the cigarette and paced back and forth a few times. Then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll go to the Tang Family myself. Prepare one billion, and prepare another two billion as a reserve fund. At this time, the Tang family wants to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. The butcher's knife is aimed at the Su family, but we, the Chen family, can't let our guard down. We must make a gesture of apology. We must let everyone know that the Chen family has bowed down to the current Tang family. "
"I'll get it done right away. The money will be ready in ten minutes."
Chen Shuo strode out of the room and disappeared from Chen Xintao and Chen Haoran's sight.
Chen Xintao took a deep breath. He looked at his grandson's pale complexion and indifferently said, "Have you learned anything from this lesson?"
Chen Haoran bitterly said, "Grandpa, I understand a principle. Never be deceived by illusions and never provoke anyone."
Chen Xintao finally revealed a gratified expression and nodded. "Just consider this incident as a lesson to you! Spending money to avert disaster is better than never knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. Remember, there must be a reason behind this anomaly. Except for Tang Yunpeng and Tan Xiu, all the other members of the Tang family have disappeared. This doesn't mean that the Tang family has fallen. If my guess is correct, the Tang family must have a big plan. "
"What big plan?" asked Chen Haoran.
"You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask?" Chen Xintao shook his head. "I'm afraid all the people in China with some status and background are thinking about this issue."
At the Tang family's residence.
Tang Yunpeng was sitting cross-legged in his room, cultivating in silence. However, as the door was knocked, he slowly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
"Patriarch, there are some people outside asking to see you. It's Chen Xintao and his grandson, Chen Haoran." A secretary's voice came from outside the door.
Tang Yunpeng furrowed his brows and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He could ignore it if it was someone else, but Chen Xintao was, after all, the Patriarch of the Chen family. His family also had a lot of power in the Imperial Capital, so he nodded and said, "I see. Take them to the guest room and I'll see them later."
"Understood!"
The secretary outside the door replied and then said, "Patriarch, you'd better call Tan Xiu. Something happened outside and it's related to our Tang family."
"Got it."
Tang Yunpeng replied and then took out his mobile phone to call Tan Xiu. After asking and listening to Tan Xiu's answer, a strange expression appeared on his dignified face. Even though Tan Xiu was not in front of him, he still gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Well done, Xiu."
"I've done what I should do, First Uncle," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "If you can really go to Shanghai to work, then our Tang family will have a much easier time in the future."
"Duanmu Lin has always been a very cautious person," said Tang Yunpeng. "Since he has already said it, then it shouldn't be a big deal. Just wait! I'm sure there will be a result soon. "
"That's good, then." Tan Xiu smiled. "First Uncle, I'm leaving the Imperial Capital tonight to deal with something in Shanghai. I'm going to execute a big plan after you've settled down in Shanghai. "
"What plan?" asked Tang Yunpeng.
"It's a secret for the time being. I'm afraid I'll need your help when you come to Shanghai," said Tan Xiu. "I'll naturally tell you the whole story when the time comes."
"You're always so mysterious, Kid." Tang Yunpeng laughed. "Well, since you don't want to say it now, then I won't ask. However, the Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Xintao, and his grandson, Chen Haoran, coming to find me should be related to you, right? "
"I don't plan to deal with them for the time being," said Tan Xiu. "If they come to apologize, then you can accept whatever compensation they want. But if they come to make trouble, then call me and I'll deal with it. "
"Only the grandfather and grandson came here, so they should be here to apologize," said Tang Yunpeng. "Alright, you go do your thing! I'm going to see them. "
He hung up the phone.
Tang Yunpeng came to the living room. The moment he saw Chen Xintao and Chen Haoran, he saw Chen Haoran directly kneeling in front of him.
"Patriarch Chen, what are you doing?"
Tang Yunpeng deliberately showed a surprised expression and asked.
"We're old acquaintances, Yunpeng," said Chen Xintao with a forced smile. "I heard that my good-for-nothing grandson offended Tan Xiu, so I came here personally to bring him here to apologize."
"What happened?" Tang Yunpeng was confused.
"It's just a trivial quarrel between youngsters, but I feel that I can't just let it go like this," said Chen Xintao helplessly. "Countless people are paying attention to the Tang Family at this time, and I'm afraid that the people outside will think nonsense. That's why I brought my good-for-nothing grandson here to apologize and tell them that the Tang Family is still the Tang Family of the past, and even more powerful than before. "
Tang Yunpeng let out a faint smile and helped Chen Haoran up. Then, he said with a smile, "It's just a small conflict between kids. As parents, we shouldn't care about it. Please have a seat, Elder Chen. "
Chen Xintao didn't directly sit down, but took out a bank card and handed it to Tang Yunpeng, saying, "Yunpeng! I know that Tan Xiu has a generous character and is a very good kid, but I can't let him suffer a loss. There's some money in this card. Consider it my Su Family's apology to Tan Xiu. The password is written on the back of the card, so you have to tell Tan Xiu about it. "
"This …"
Tang Yunpeng deliberately showed an awkward expression.
"Yunpeng, does Tan Xiu not listen to you?" asked Chen Xintao hurriedly.
"He dares," said Tang Yunpeng immediately. "No matter what, I'm his uncle, and that brat is very honest in front of me."
Chen Xintao nodded and said, "That's right. It's a virtue for young people to respect their elders. Then, I'll leave this matter to you. It's too late now, so we won't stay here to disturb you. "
Tang Yunpeng hesitated for a moment and deliberately asked, "Elder Chen, won't you stay for a cup of tea?"
Chen Xintao shook his head and said, "It's too late. I'll treat you some other time."
"No problem. It's my treat."
Tang Yunpeng escorted Chen Xintao and Chen Haoran out of the first door and then watched them leave. When the secretary not far away came over, Tang Yunpeng handed him the bank card and said, "Check how much money is in this card."
"Understood!"
A few minutes later.
The secretary quickly came to Tang Yunpeng and said, "There's a total of 1 billion yuan in here, Patriarch."
Tang Yunpeng raised his brows and immediately said with a smile, "The Chen Family is really sincere. Take this card and personally deliver it to Director Duanmu Lin at the Special Abilities Bureau. Tell him that this is a token of our Tang Family to buy some equipment for the protectors of the Special Abilities Bureau. "
"This … isn't it a bit too much?" asked the secretary hesitantly.
"Is this 1 billion yuan too much compared to the Special Abilities Bureau's care for our family?" said Tang Yunpeng with a smile. No matter how good the relationship between Duanmu Lin and Tan Xiu is, some people in the Special Abilities Bureau are bound to be dissatisfied with such a favor. Everyone in the world is bustling for benefits, and everyone is bustling for benefits. I'm afraid that everyone in the Special Abilities Bureau will shut up once we deliver this money. "
"You're wise and farsighted, Patriarch."
The news that the Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Xintao, and his grandson, Chen Haoran, personally visited the Tang Family to apologize was as though it had grown wings and was quickly known by countless families and forces. And it was the Chen Family who spread the news.
For a time.
The entire circle of wealthy families in the Imperial Capital was in an uproar, and the big families and forces in China were also shocked. They were in disbelief and realized that the Tang Family had not fallen. Although countless members of the Tang Family had disappeared, the Tang Family's power was still very terrifying.
The next day.
Just as the Su Family was out of luck and the storm caused by the Chen Family's apology had yet to pass, another piece of news spread all over the country and in every region of China: Tang Yunpeng of the Tang Family was transferred to Shanghai to support the work. Furthermore, Tang Yunpeng's work ability was outstanding. He devoted himself to the country and the people and also served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture.
As soon as this news came out, everyone felt their hearts sink. It was because it indicated that the Tang Family now had a real backbone even without the old man, Tang Guosheng, as well as another giant.
