"Tell me the specific situation!" asked Tan Xiu. "Maybe I can do something about it."
Tang Yunde was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Xiu, the Tang Family is very unstable now, but we can barely cope with it. At worst, we'll just suffer some losses. The other party won't dare to launch a full-scale attack because a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. They will suffer heavy losses if they want to topple our family. "
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse?
What does that mean?
Tan Xiu furrowed his brows and asked, "I don't understand what you mean, Dad. What do you mean by a starving camel is still bigger than a horse? As far as I know, the Tang Family is among the super families in the Imperial Capital. Even if we can't rank first, it shouldn't be a problem for us to be in the top three, right? "
"Had it been more than a decade ago, perhaps our Tang Family could be ranked in the top three." Tang Yunde forced a smile. "But since your grandpa's asthma attacks have become more frequent and the leaders have changed, our Tang Family has become much weaker. The problem in the Imperial Capital is very complicated, especially our enemies. They took advantage of your grandpa's poor health to make a lot of fuss and pressure us step by step. Although our Tang Family can be ranked in the top ten among the big families in the Imperial Capital, it's far from being qualified to be in the top three. "
Tan Xiu furrowed his brows and asked, "You mean … the enemy is strong and we're weak?"
"That's right. That's the situation." Tang Yunde forced a smile. "Everyone has been safe and sound in the past few years, each developing their own family. But recently, our enemy family suddenly gained the support of another medium-sized force, so their power has increased a lot. Therefore, they're now ready to move. Although they don't dare to blatantly tear all pretense of cordiality with us, they still have some small frictions. "
"Which family is the enemy?" asked Tan Xiu.
"The Yao Family."
Tang Yunde answered.
Tan Xiu firmly remembered this family and said, "Dad, I can ignore the family's affairs for now. But you must tell me promptly if the family needs anything. The power that I possess should be much greater than what you understand. Whether it's military force or financial resources. "
Tang Yunde was confused and asked, "What force? Haven't you told me everything you should tell me? "
Tan Xiu said, "Dad, don't ask now. Anyway, let's keep in touch and let me know if you have any problems. By the way, I haven't asked, which city did the Yao Family and our Tang Family clash in? "
"Guangyang and Fukang," said Tang Yunde.
"I see." Tan Xiu nodded. You and my mom should take care of yourselves. "
"Don't worry!"
Tang Yunde said.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Xiu's eyes flashed with coldness. Although he didn't have much affection for the Tang Family, the Tang Family was still his family. He knew how the Tang Family felt about him. Therefore, he had already accepted the Tang Family. If the other party was really arrogant, he wouldn't mind using the Everlasting Feast Hall's power.
Furthermore!
Once the Everlasting Feast Hall's power was mobilized, it would be a bloody storm.
Wearing pajamas, Tan Xiu stood up from the bed, walked to the wine cabinet, opened the door, and took out a bottle of red wine. Although he wasn't very fond of red wine, it wouldn't hurt to drink some. After pouring a glass of red wine, he took the crystal glass and went to the balcony.
Looking at the swaying shadows of the trees outside, Tan Xiu secretly sighed inwardly. The power he had was still too small. If he was given a few more years to develop, let alone the Yao Family in the Imperial Capital, he was confident that he would be invincible even if he had to contend with all the families in the country.
"Talents!
Experts! "
A cold light flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes as he silently pondered. Where should he go to find a group of talents? A few minutes later, after he finished drinking the red wine in the crystal glass, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
The Immortal World was a big world!
Earth was a small world!
A big world and a small world had common characteristics.
Tan Xiu once had a great career in the Immortal World. He owned a huge territory and recruited a lot of subordinates. Although he had handed over the territories he once controlled after his power reached the Supreme level in the Immortal World and let his subordinates manage them, he had, after all, experienced it.
Therefore, he already had an idea.
Prison!
The black market!
Tan Xiu believed that there were definitely a lot of capable people in the prison.
In the Immortal World, in order to cultivate a group of experts to help him inquire about the Immortal World, Tan Xiu secretly selected a group of people from the prisons of the large countries in the Immortal World. These people were cruel and merciless, each with their own abilities. Although there was a problem with their temperament, Tan Xiu had magical powers and secret techniques that could control their life and death.
Therefore!
More than half of the territory of the Immortal World had an intelligence network controlled by Tan Xiu, and many of them even became powerful after his training. Although there were no super experts who had reached the Supreme level in the Immortal World, there were still some people who stood out and their strength made billions of Immortals afraid.
There was a black market in the Immortal World, and he believed that there was also a black market on Earth. Although the black market on Earth was not as arrogant as the black market in the Immortal World, he could choose some people with good martial arts from many underground black market boxing arenas.
Half an hour later.
Tan Xiu already had a clear idea in his mind. However, since he had now arrived at the University of Shanghai and Gu Yan 'er, who was in a coma at the Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ in Jingmen Island, could wake up at any time, he could only suppress the idea of recruiting talents at the bottom of his heart.
'I'll take some time to go everywhere after everything has completely stabilized. Aside from the Everlasting Feast Hall's people, I have no other experts to offer, so I have to be cautious in many things. 'Tan Xiu thought inwardly.
At the Imperial Capital.
Inside the Tang Family's ancestral residence, Tang Guosheng frowned as he flipped through the documents in his hand, while Tang Guoshou sat opposite him with a face full of anger.
"Dad, the Yao Family's Starlight Group has cut off our commercial supply channels in Guangyang and Fukang. Our Tang Family's vassal, the Bai Family, has also been fiercely sniped. The investigation on the Bai Family's Patriarch, Bai Yang, has been stopped. If we don't fight back immediately, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep Bai Yang." Tang Min, who stood next to the two men, eyes full of anger.
Tang Guosheng slowly raised his head and said, "The Yao Family has been secretly laying out their plans in Guangyang and Fukang for several years. Apart from the two biggest families who are now maintaining their neutrality, several other families have secretly colluded with the Yao Family. Unless the two biggest families in these two provinces come forward to help us, it will be very difficult for us to fight back. "
"If we can't do it on the surface, then we'll use force in private," said Tang Min coldly. "I've trained a lot of people over the years, and each of them has a hidden identity. Even if they make a move, no one will investigate our Tang Family. "
"The Yao Family and the other families in Guangyang and Fukang are not stupid." Tang Guosheng shook his head. "Even if they don't have any direct evidence, I'm afraid they'll guess that it was our Tang Family who instructed them to do it. Once they use all their intelligence network, it won't be too difficult for them to investigate the relationship between you and the person who did it. "
"Even if they investigate it, so what?" Tang Min coldly snorted. "We'll let them know that our Tang Family is not to be trifled with. If they really want to shed all pretense of cordiality and fight with us, then we'll accompany them to the end. "
At the side, although Tang Guoshou's heart was full of anger, he still maintained his rationality and said, "Tang Min, remember this: a lack of forbearance in small matters will spoil great plans. If we shed all pretense of cordiality with the Yao Family now and fight each other to the death, we won't be able to get any benefits, and it's very likely that we'll be targeted by the other families who are eyeing us covetously. At that time, even if our Tang Family isn't destroyed by the Yao Family, the other families will definitely take advantage of our misfortune. "
"That's right!" Tang Guosheng nodded. "What our Tang Family needs to do now is to slowly develop and strengthen our own strength. I was sick before, so I had no time to manage a lot of things. Our enemies thought that I couldn't hold on any longer, so they were getting restless. But now that my illness has been cured, it won't be a problem for me to hold on for another ten years. Why did I conceal the fact that my illness has been cured? It's because I wanted to endure and gain some time for our Tang Family. The plan we implemented last month has already started in secret. If we have a few more years, I can guarantee that we'll be able to catch up with the Yao Family with the huge resources we've invested. "
"But the Yao Family is pressing us too hard in the two southern provinces!" Tang Min forced a smile. "If this goes on, our forces in those two provinces will be completely eradicated by them."
"I'll contact Second Brother. He has been enjoying himself in Jingmen Island for so many years, so it's time for him to come out and walk around! Even if our forces in the two southern provinces are completely uprooted, we can't let the Yao Family and those small families have a good time. "
"Do you want me to rush over there?" Asked Tang Min quickly.
"No need for the time being." Tang Guosheng shook his head. "Your Big Brother should be able to stall for some time if he goes there personally. That's right, I've already told Yunde about the situation at home. I didn't expect that he also left some secret moves in the past. If it really doesn't work, we can also use some of his hidden forces. "
Tang Min stared blankly for a moment and asked in astonishment, "My Second Brother? Isn't he … "
"There are some things you don't know," said Tang Guosheng. "Your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are on the way to the Imperial Capital. They should be arriving soon. You'll know when they come. "
Tang Min was somewhat curious. She didn't understand what kind of secret moves her Second Brother could arrange after he directly turned into a vegetable.
Ring, ring, ring …
Tang Guosheng's cell phone on the tea table suddenly rang.
Tang Guosheng raised his brows as he grabbed the phone and said, "What's up?"
"Dad, the Starlight Group's HQ in Guangyang has been burned down. The fire is very fierce and there are still more than a dozen security guards who haven't escaped. The person in charge has already called the fire department, but they haven't been dispatched yet. It's been almost 20 minutes since the fire started. "Tang Yunpeng's angry voice came from the phone.
