The illustrious years had washed away everything.
Tang Yunde's eyes were a bit blurred as the scenes of the past flashed in his mind like movie clips. The heroic and unyielding men, the flames of war raging in the rain of bullets, and the hot-bloodedness and perseverance that symbolized a 'loyal soul'.
After a long while …
Tang Yunde woke up from his memories. A wry smile outlined on the corner of his mouth as he sighed, "That's right. I was the captain of China's Dragon Soul Special Combat Squad in those days, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the country. Our special combat squad was the best of the best in the country, the elite of the elites. Every member of the Dragon Soul Special Combat Squad had extremely strong individual combat ability and teamwork awareness. We rarely stayed in the country, and most of the time, we fought all over the world and carried out some extremely dangerous missions. "
"22 years ago, in my third year as the captain of the Dragon Soul Special Combat Squad, my team members and I fell into a desperate situation due to a mistake in our intelligence. In the end, six of our brothers died in battle, and I and two others fought our way out. After that, the three of us went into hiding. "
"We must continue to complete our mission and also avenge our brothers who died in battle. When we received the intelligence and acted again, we still fell into the enemy's trap. At that time, we were lucky enough to escape by jumping into the river. However, one of my teammates was shot in the leg, which led to the necrosis of the leg nerves and made him a cripple. "
Having said that …
Tang Yunde stopped and looked at Tan Xiu, asking, "You should've guessed it, right?"
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "I guessed it. There should be a traitor among the people who gave you the intelligence, right? Or, someone deliberately wanted you to die abroad. "
Killing intent flashed in Tang Yunde's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "That's right. I'm not a traitor, but some people wanted me to stay abroad forever, and that's right. Back then, the Tang Family had two political enemies, one of which was extremely powerful. After we escaped, I didn't let those two brothers follow me back to the country because I already guessed that there was a problem. When I returned to the country alone, I was immediately controlled by the military … "
Tang Yunde's killing intent was very intense as he explained.
Tan Xiu listened quietly and finally understood the whole story.
After Tang Yunde returned to the country, he was controlled by the military. After that, he was handed over to the military court to be accused of improper command, causing the country's top special forces team to suffer a devastating blow. Therefore, Tang Yunde concealed the news that his two teammates were still alive.
Later on.
The Tang Family paid a hefty price to prevent the military court from convicting Tang Yunde, but they still drove him out of the army. Tang Family's political enemies even forced Tang Guosheng, the head of the Tang Family, to expel Tang Yunde from the family. Otherwise, many people would be dissatisfied with the Tang Family's existence in the domestic political arena.
At that time, Tang Guosheng was pressured to talk with his son, Tang Yunde, for a whole night. Finally, Tang Yunde, filled with grief and indignation, left his hometown and came to the hometown of one of his comrades … Star City.
"Is this why you lived in Star City back then?"
Tan Xiu frowned and asked.
"That's right." Tang Yunde nodded. My comrade-in-arms died in the war abroad. I know he only has an elderly mother at home, so I stayed in Star City to take care of her. On the third month after I settled in Star City, the old man passed away. Because of the pain in my heart, I lived a befuddled life for some time. As a result, I got to know your mother, who was a nurse in the hospital at that time, after I had a gastric hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital. "
"How did you end up in a vegetative state back then?" asked Tan Xiu.
Tang Yunde sighed, "When we were carrying out a mission abroad, we once fought with an organization called 'Asura Avici'. That organization is very mysterious, and its members are very terrifying. In order to rescue a hostage back then, we mistakenly killed the Vice President of Asura Avici. As a result, we suffered a crazy retaliation from the other party. We fell into two traps back then, both of which were set up by that organization and the Tang Family's political enemies due to the same interests. "
Asura Avici?
Tan Xiu secretly memorized the name of this organization.
Tang Yunde continued, "The reason why I didn't let those two brothers return to the country with me was because I wanted to clearly investigate why there was a traitor in the military intelligence system. On the other hand, I wanted those two brothers to fake their deaths to prevent Asura Avici's people from continuing to pursue them.
"However! Asura Avici's people learned that I was in Star City through various channels. Five people appeared that day, one of whom was a golden-robed assassin of Asura Avici, and the other four were silver-robed assassins. As far as I know, Asura Avici's members are divided into ranks. From low to high, they are black-robed assassins, silver-robed assassins, golden-robed assassins, and purple-robed assassins.
"Xiu, if you run into Asura Avici's people in the future, you must hide as far as you can. Those people are extremely cruel and ruthless, and their strength is also very powerful. My strength in the country back then was considered very powerful. Yet, I could barely kill one golden-robed assassin and four silver-robed assassins. Eventually, I fell into a coma due to the serious injuries I sustained. "
"What kind of organization is this?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I don't know." Tang Yunde shook his head. "Although I had access to high-level military secrets in the country back then, I still couldn't find out what kind of existence Asura Avici is. Perhaps, our country's leaders don't know what kind of existence Asura Avici is, either. "
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and nodded silently.
He could understand.
After all, there were a lot of special existences in the world. They were absolutely behemoths in the eyes of outsiders, and their strength was so powerful that it made people shudder.
For example, the existence of the Everlasting Feast Hall …
"When I left the army and lived in Star City in the past, I also secretly kept in touch with my two brothers," said Tang Yunde. "The three of us set up a company, which was managed by one of my brothers. I owned 40% of the company's shares, and now the company has total assets of 10 billion US dollars in Hong Kong. Its headquarters is in Macao, and it's called the Infernal Spirit Group. "
Tan Xiu didn't know much about those large groups, especially the one in Macao. He had never heard of it.
However!
Having total assets of 10 billion US dollars proved that the strength of this company was very powerful. His father owned 40% of the shares, which meant that he also had total assets of tens of billions of US dollars.
Tang Yunde took a deep breath and bitterly said, "As a matter of fact, before I was found by those people from Asura Avici, I had a faint uneasy feeling inside. Therefore, not only did your mother and I not hold a wedding, we didn't even dare to get a marriage certificate. I was even afraid that if something really happened to me, no one would take care of your mother, so I secretly helped Su Shangwen set up the Shangwen Group. The registered capital was 2 million, and I gave it to him. It's just that I never thought that after my accident, not only did he not abide by the agreement to let your mother live a rich life without worrying about food and clothing, but he even deliberately made things difficult for you and your mother! "
Tan Xiu was shaken inwardly and asked, "You mean! Did you give Su Shangwen the capital to start up his business? Did you have an agreement with him? "
"That's right." Tang Yunde nodded. "Otherwise, how do you think a young man who just came to Star City from the countryside to work could come up with such a large sum of money to register a company? Even his first few small projects, I was the one who helped him get them. "
Tan Xiu slowly closed his eyes. The last bit of ill feeling he had toward Tang Yunde had disappeared without a trace.
"Dad, have you seen him?"
"I went to the prison and saw him." Tang Yunde nodded. "No matter what, he's still your mother's big brother. Blood is thicker than water. Although I hate him, but … "
Tan Xiu nodded without a word and said, "You've told me what I want to know. Now, I just want to tell you one thing. My mother has been suffering for 20 years, and the latter half of her life is in your hands. I hope you can make her happy. "
Tang Yunde couldn't help laughing and said, "She's my wife. Of course, I'll make her happy. Not only her, you're my son, so I'll make you happy. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely do everything I can to get it for you. Whatever you want to do, I'll support it unconditionally. "
A trace of a smile appeared on Tan Xiu's face as he said, "Relying on Heaven, Earth, and my parents is not a real man. I can create a piece of the world with my bare hands. I think you should understand the saying 'the father is a hero and the son is a real man'! "
"I understand!" Tang Yunde said with a smile.
Tan Xiu nodded and suddenly asked, "What's your plan for the future?"
"The most important thing is to accompany your mother," said Tang Yunde. "I've given all my belongings to her, so I'll follow her to make a living in the future."
"What about revenge?"
Tan Xiu asked lightly.
Tang Yunde was silent for a moment and slowly said, "I'll definitely take revenge for the enmity of that year, but not now. I've been waiting for 20 years, so it's not like I can wait any longer. "
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and indifferently said, "Tell me when you're going to take revenge."
Tang Yunde let out a faint smile and said, "Alright, I've told you everything. Now, shouldn't you tell me what you've done? "
Tan Xiu organized his words inwardly and said, "I've established the Magnificent Tang Corporation, which can be considered as a small undertaking. I've bought an island in the Pacific Ocean and am now sending people to rebuild it. It will be our family's headquarters in the future. Also, I have another identity that my mother doesn't know about. I'm the owner of the Everlasting Feast Hall in Jingmen Island. "
The Everlasting Feast Hall?
"How come you have a business in Jingmen Island?" Asked Tang Yunde, confused.
"It's not something that can be explained in a few words," said Tan Xiu. "I'll tell you when the time is right. You only need to know that the people from the Everlasting Feast Hall are our own people. "
"I understand." Tang Yunde nodded.
After stuffing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, he asked, "Buying an island in the Pacific Ocean is quite expensive, isn't it?"
"It's quite expensive," said Tan Xiu. "I spent 2.5 billion yuan at that time and borrowed it from Chen Zhizhong. However, I've returned the money to him. "
