Chapter 89 Old Fox
Su Zhiguo stared at Tang Shuo with burning eyes. Tang Shuo's seemingly arrogant remarks made his blood boil instantly.
He is now in his eighties and should have long since left the age of acting on impulse. He would not believe anyone just because of a few casual words.
But he suddenly developed an inexplicable confidence in Tang Shuo.
The 120 Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu, and the 3,000 Yue soldiers can conquer Wu. For some reason, this sentence came to his mind.
If this matter wasn't so serious, he would have agreed to Tang Shuo outright.
But the Zhao family was not someone the Su family could afford to offend right now. If they had not agreed to the Zhao family's marriage before, it could still be discussed, but now he had already agreed, and the Zhao family had also publicized the matter.
If I regretted the engagement now, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Zhao family? My in-laws would immediately become my enemies.
Su Zhiguo pondered for a long time before he said, "Can you really cure my granddaughter's illness?"
"Yes." Tang Shuo answered again with certainty.
Su Zhiguo nodded, glanced at Tang Shuo, who had a determined look in his eyes, and said, "You should also know that our Su family will never regret the engagement with the Zhao family. But if any other problems arise, it will not be our Su family's responsibility."
Tang Shuo immediately understood what Su Zhiguo meant. After secretly calling him "old fox", he pretended not to understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Shuo had actually grasped Su Zhiguo's meaning, which was actually quite simple. Su Zhiguo had clearly stated that he would not intervene in the matter, suggesting that Tang Shuo should just go ahead and snatch the person away.
If Su Ran was snatched away during the wedding, not only would the Su family not be held responsible, but they could also blame the Zhao family.
The reason why Tang Shuo stated it directly was to ask for support from the Su family.
Su Zhiguo was amused by Tang Shuo's quick change of attitude. He had just been calling him "you", but now when he heard him speak freely, he directly changed it to "you".
"That's all I can tell you. Whether you understand or not depends on you." Su Zhiguo smiled and shook his head. "If this succeeds, we'll talk about the future later. If this fails, you should know the consequences."
Su Zhiguo's meaning was very clear. Regardless of whether Tang Shuo succeeded or failed, the Su family would remain on the sidelines and would not interfere in the matter.
This can also be said to be a test he gave to Tang Shuo. If Tang Shuo couldn't even handle this matter, then Tang Shuo's remarks just now would be nothing but empty talk.
Tang Shuo smiled bitterly and nodded sadly. In fact, he had no choice now.
According to what he had thought beforehand, the best outcome of this trip would be to get the support of the Su family.
But this old fox is too shrewd. He is the type who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.
Tang Shuo knew that if he did not have the strength to overwhelm the Su family, he would never be able to gain the Su family's respect.
Su Zhiguo took in Tang Shuo's expression, smiled, waved his hand and said, "I haven't seen you today. You haven't been to the Su family either. You can leave now."
Tang Shuo was quite speechless at Su Zhiguo's self-deceiving remarks. This old fox was indeed very meticulous in his actions. He was sure that once he left, he would immediately start to erase the evidence of his presence.
Tang Shuo said, "Can I trouble you with something?"
Su Zhiguo narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Shuo with displeasure. What he had just said was clear enough. Could it be that Tang Shuo still didn't understand what he meant?
"I had some issues with the Shen family before, and now everyone outside is looking for me." Tang Shuo smiled and said, "Can you send me back to Yanjing?"
When he first arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the morning, he had already attracted the attention of the Shen family. Tang Shuo also managed to get rid of the layers of searches before arriving at the Su family.
I guess they've always been very interested in my news. It's just that I'm in Yanjing, out of their reach, so I haven't retaliated.
Although he could also go out, it would be much easier if the Su family helped.
Moreover, Tang Shuo felt that he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take advantage of the old fox.
Su Zhiguo immediately stood up and asked, "Did you do what happened to Shen Yuqi?"
Tang Shuo nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said, "If you mean the incident where his leg was broken, that person was me."
Su Zhiguo looked at Tang Shuo in shock, then shook his head helplessly and said to the door, "Li Ren, arrange for someone to send him to Yanjing."
The man who had led Tang Shuo twice appeared again and said to him, "Follow me."
“…”
Tang Shuo was wondering if this guy could only say this one sentence?
…………
"Boss, Miss Jiang is here." Zheng Xiaowan said after knocking on the door and coming in.
Tang Shuo, who was playing Landlord at his desk, asked in confusion, "Jiang Tiantong?"
It has been nearly half a month since he returned from Suzhou and Hangzhou. During this half month, he has been living a secluded life. Except for going to the hospital to see Lu Wanqi twice, he has hardly left the club.
He hadn't contacted the Jiang family for a long time. Tang Shuo was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Tiantong suddenly came to the club.
"Yeah." Zheng Xiaowan nodded.
"Where are they?"
"They're already here." Zheng Xiaowan looked back and said.
She knew that the relationship between her boss and the Jiang family was not simple, so she did not stop Jiang Tiantong.
Moreover, Jiang Tiantong has already stated that she wants to follow. Even if the boss doesn't know Jiang Tiantong, she will agree to the other party's request.
As he was speaking, Jiang Tiantong appeared outside the office.
He still had a calm expression, but his unconsciously furrowed brows seemed to indicate that he was troubled by something, which made people feel sorry for him.
Tang Shuo immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Come and sit down."
Jiang Tiantong walked into the office, sat down on the sofa and said, "Grandpa has been feeling unwell these past few days."
Tang Shuo was about to help Jiang Tiantong pour water, but when he heard Jiang Tiantong's words, he stopped and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
"It's an old problem." Jiang Tiantong frowned and said, "Grandpa's heart has been a little bad before, and it has become a little more serious recently. The doctor said the situation is not optimistic."
Tang Shuo immediately pulled Jiang Tiantong up and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
Jiang Tiantong followed Tang Shuo and stood up, and the two walked out of the club together.
…………
The Jiang family has hardly changed and still feels cold and deserted.
When Tang Shuo entered, Jiang Hongtao was leaning on the sofa in the living room, breathing oxygen through the nasal cannula of a home oxygen machine. A family doctor in a white coat, probably in his forties, was standing behind Jiang Hongtao and saying something.
Seeing Tang Shuo come in, Jiang Hongtao immediately smiled, interrupted the family doctor, pulled out the nasogastric tube in his nose, and said, "You're here."
The family doctor was very responsible. When he saw Jiang Hongtao unplug the oxygen machine, he immediately stopped him and said, "This won't work. You must maintain a high level of arterial oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation every day."
Tang Shuo also hurried forward and said, "Old man, put it on. I heard that you haven't been feeling well recently, so I came to see you."
Jiang Hongtao shook his head and said, "As I get older, my health is bound to be a little unwell. I feel uncomfortable wearing this thing myself. Let's have a good chat today."
The family doctor wanted to insist, but Jiang Tiantong, who was standing beside him, said, "Doctor Li, we will temporarily stop using oxygen this afternoon. We will control it in the evening."
Family doctor Li nodded and reluctantly stepped aside. Jiang Hongtao nodded in satisfaction, expressing his appreciation for Jiang Tiantong's decision.
Seeing Jiang Hongtao about to stand up, Tang Shuo immediately stepped forward and held Jiang Hongtao's arm.
Jiang Hongtao pointed to the second floor and said to Tang Shuo, "Let's go to the study upstairs to talk."
Tang Shuo immediately followed his instructions and helped Jiang Hongtao up to the second floor.
That afternoon, Tang Shuo stayed in Jiang Hongtao's study until dark, when he helped Jiang Hongtao out.
No one knew what the two talked about that afternoon, not even Jiang Tiantong himself.
After Tang Shuo had dinner at Jiang's house, Jiang Hongtao smiled and said to Tang Shuo, "You have to go back home tonight. Let Tiantong take you there."
Tang Shuo nodded, and he and Jiang Tiantong walked out of the Jiang family one after another.
Without waiting for Tang Shuo to speak, Jiang Tiantong said to Jia Ting, "Let's go for a walk first."
After hearing this, Jia Ting felt like she was facing a great enemy. She nervously assigned several bodyguards to follow Tang Shuo and Jiang Tiantong. It was Tang Shuo who kidnapped the young lady last time, which resulted in a huge chaos. Such a thing must not happen again!
