The former Tang Family was like a pool of stagnant water, and the ancestral mansion was even more lifeless. However, ever since Tang Guosheng's illness was cured, the Tang Family's descendant, Tan Xiu, was found, and the vegetative Tang Yunde woke up, the Tang Family was now full of joy and laughter, and the entire family was full of vitality.
Especially …
The competition between the Tang Family and the Yao Family in the south finally ended with the Tang Family's overwhelming victory, making the Tang Family feel proud and elated. However, the Tang Family also knew that the earth-shaking changes in the family were all brought about by Tan Xiu. Therefore, Tan Xiu's status in the Tang Family could almost be compared with the older generation.
Outside the ancestral mansion.
Tang Ning was dressed in casual clothes. She stood up straight and kept her eyes on the entrance of the alleyway. Two soldiers in military uniform with guns in their hands looked at her curiously. They were surprised that Tangning had returned. In fact, it looked like she was waiting for someone.
Creak …
Two cars drove into the alley and stopped outside the gate of the Tang Family's ancestral mansion.
"Second Uncle, Second Auntie."
Tangning personally opened the door and respectfully greeted them. Her eyes fell on Tan Xiu, who just got off the driver's seat. The cold expression on her face gradually melted and was replaced with a smile.
"You rarely come back from the army, Little Ning," said Tang Yunde with a smile.
"I knew Little Brother would come, so I asked for a leave to come back," said Tangning.
"You brothers rarely meet each other, so you should really get together." Tang Yunde laughed. "Our Tang Family must unite as one."
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and called out, "Brother Tangning."
With a smile, Tangning said, "Tan Xiu, you've done a good job in the south."
"It's nothing," said Tan Xiu.
Raising his thumbs up, Tangning smilingly said, "You're worthy of being my brother. I like your tone. Let's go! Grandpa and Third Grandpa are waiting for you. "
After entering the ancestral mansion and coming to the innermost bamboo house, Tang Min was the first to jump up from the sofa and smilingly said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, you finally arrived. I would've starved to death if you came a bit later."
Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun smiled and greeted everyone in the room. Under Tang Guosheng's invitation, the whole family sat down at the dining table. The dinner was very sumptuous, and Tang Guosheng personally brought out two bottles of Gods Nectar that Kang Xia had sent over.
After dinner.
Su Lingyun accompanied the old lady to clean up the dishes, while Tang Guosheng brought everyone to the study. As the lingering smoke rose, Tang Min's voice was the first to break the silence, "Dad, since Tan Xiu is already here, just say it!"
Tang Guosheng's eyes fell on Tan Xiu and said, "Xiu, let's not talk about business first. Can you tell me the identities of the four people outside? "
Tan Xiu said, "They are my mother's bodyguards from the Northstar One Blade School of Japan."
"What?"
Tang Guosheng's expression was blank, and so were the others in the study.
"Precisely speaking, they used to be experts of the Northstar One Blade School in Japan. But now, they have changed their appearances, changed their names, and changed their identities to have new identities in Huaxia," said Tang Xiu. I've trained some people, and one of them is the eldest daughter of Japan's Yamamoto family. She's also the main candidate to compete for the Northstar One Blade School's Master position in the future. "
Tang Guosheng frowned and asked, "Xiu, I have nothing to say if you train some talents in the country. But these Japanese … are they trustworthy? "
"Grandpa, my mother's life is more important than my own. I naturally won't let them protect her easily if I'm not sure," said Tan Xiu.
Tang Guosheng gently nodded and said, "I want to know why you train these Japanese?"
"Resources." Tan Xiu said seriously. "We need a lot of resources if we want to develop, and I also need resources if I want to do something. Although the island country is very small, the vast sea around it contains a huge amount of resources. If one day, the people I train can have a very high status and huge power in Japan, it won't be a bad thing for me to use them, right? "
Tang Guosheng was startled and hurriedly asked, "You mean … you can influence Japan's politics in the future?"
"Not influence, but control." Tan Xiu shook his head.
"Hiss …"
The five people in the room gasped at the same time. From Tang Xiu's words, they could hear the crazy ambition in his words.
"If my history is correct, Japan once tried to control our country's territory and even killed a lot of people in our country," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. The method they used was armed force. They relied on force to suppress and rule by blood. What I'm doing is to erode them in the dark and secretly infiltrate them. In the future, I'll be able to control the top figures in Japan. Do I still need to worry about not being able to use Japan in the future? "
"Your idea is good, Xiu, but … you're too naive." Tang Guosheng shook his head and forced a smile. "They may need your help now to expand their forces and elevate their status. But in the future, they'll definitely break away from your control. In my opinion, the people of the island are despicable, and shameless blood flows in their bones. "
"Grandpa, I once heard a saying that the more powerful they are, the more they fear death." Tan Xiu asked with a smile. "Do you think this saying is correct?"
Tang Guosheng pondered for a moment before he slowly nodded and forced a smile. "You're right. The more they get, the more they want to enjoy themselves. Naturally, they're afraid of death. "
Tan Xiu raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. He confidently smiled and said, "I have a way to control their life and death. Even if they try to resist with all the power of Japan, they won't be able to break away from my control. "
Tang Guosheng fell into silence. With a strange expression, Tang Guoshou lit another cigarette. As for Tang Min, Tang Yunde, and Tang Ning, they looked at Tan Xiu incredulously with all kinds of thoughts churning inside their minds.
"Let's not talk about Japan, Grandpa," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "Let's get down to business."
Tang Guosheng's eyes flickered as he nodded and said, "Do you still remember what I told you on the phone?"
"I remember," said Tan Xiu.
"I've discussed this matter with everyone, and I think you can handle it," said Tang Guosheng. "50 billion is all the funds our Tang Family can take out in secret without anyone noticing. Since the other families are eyeing our Tang Family, it'll be hard for us to not be noticed by them if we use this money. Hence, you're the most suitable person to handle it. "
"Don't tell me you're not afraid that I'll squander all this money?" asked Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Will you?" asked Tang Guosheng.
"Don't worry!" Tan Xiu shook his head and said. "I'll give you a satisfactory answer before I graduate from college. Also, I want to know how many trustworthy people the Tang Family has now. The trust I'm talking about is absolute loyalty to the Tang Family. "
Tang Guosheng and Tang Guoshou exchanged glances. Tang Guoshou coughed and said, "It's hard to count them, but the number is definitely more than a thousand."
"What about the number of martial artists?" asked Tan Xiu again. "I'm talking about the talents with good skills."
Tang Guoshou thought for a moment and then slowly said, "At least 300 people. I'm talking about the number, the talents who are absolutely loyal to our Tang Family. Some of them were adopted by our Tang Family when they were young and were sent to some martial arts schools in the country to learn martial arts. Some were also sent to the army and eventually obtained good achievements. Of course, if our Tang Family wants to do something, we can also send tens of thousands of people to do it without using the power of the military. "
"Give me 20 experts who are absolutely loyal to the Tang Family every year," said Tan Xiu. "I'll send people to carry out special training for them. As long as they can survive and complete the special training, their strength will be doubled."
"Where will they be sent for special training?" asked Tang Guosheng.
"Jingmen Island, the Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ," answered Tan Xiu.
Tang Guosheng slowly nodded. A smile appeared on his old face as he said, "Then I'll wait and see. I'll draw up a list and give them to you later."
The night talk went on for three hours.
In the early morning, Tang Guoshou was sent back to his residence by Tang Ning, whereas Tan Xiu's family of three directly stayed in the Tang Family's ancestral residence.
Early the next morning, Tan Xiu received a call from Li Laoshan. However, he didn't rush to meet Li Laoshan since the Underground Auction would be held at 2 PM in the Imperial Capital. Instead, he followed Tang Min to stroll around many bustling areas in the Imperial Capital.
Of course.
Given Tang Min's character, the trunk of the Land Rover Range Rover Tan Xiu drove was naturally full of purchases, most of which were for Tan Xiu.
"Auntie, the money has arrived."
On the street with an endless stream of people, Tan Xiu, who was carrying a few bags in his hands, felt his mobile vibrate. He took it out and looked at it. He then saw that 50 billion had been transferred to his account.
"It's good that you've received it," said Tang Min with a smile. "Anyways, I'm curious. Why is your bank card's name 'Gu Xiaoxue'? It should be a girl's name, right? Is she your girlfriend? "
"I'm her Grand Master," said Tan Xiu.
Tang Min couldn't help laughing and said, "Grand Master? What Grand Master? Anyways, we have an agreement. If you have a girlfriend, you must bring her to see Auntie. "
Tan Xiu let out an indifferent smile and casually complied. He then put his mobile back into his pocket. The bank card that received the money was indeed handled by Gu Xiaoxue. A long time ago, he got a sum of money from Gu Xiaoxue, which was directly given to his bank card. Now that his identity was exposed, the hostile families would definitely investigate his information, and the assets he had in the bank would probably be found out.
Therefore, this 50 billion must be kept a secret.
And now …
There was a total of 60 billion in his bank account. Among them, he had more than 1 billion, and Gu Xiaoxue had transferred 9 billion to this account, which was to be used to establish a medicinal garden and raise the fierce beasts. With such a large sum of money, even if Tan Xiu didn't care much about money, he was still somewhat happy inside.
"Auntie, I won't accompany you for lunch. I'm going to see a friend in the afternoon, so I'll go with him, "said Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Alright!" Tang Min smiled. Tang Min said with a smile, "Go do what you have to do. When you return to Shanghai, just let me know. "
[Sorry, I was dragged away by some internet gurus in Guangdong Province for a drink yesterday, which delayed the update of the third chapter. I'll try to make up for it in these two days.]
