On the other side, Tang Xue grew angrier and more helpless. She picked up the phone, unsure who to call, and looked at her "lifeless" father. Tang Xue angrily said, "Tang Hua, are you even a man? She has betrayed you, do you understand?"
"Xue'er, I'm just... I'm just confused. If I separate from your mother, what will become of our family? If your grandfather finds out the truth, will he be so angry that he'll die?"
“You’ve been weak for so long. If you stand up for yourself now, Grandpa will be happy, you know?”
Seeing her father's incompetence, Tang Xue stomped her foot in anger. "I've known for a long time that this woman isn't on our side. In the first few years after graduating from university and joining the company, she often collaborated with that man named Li Jian under various pretexts. Out of curiosity, I investigated Li Jian's background, and sure enough, there was something fishy going on. Dad, you actually knew about it, didn't you?"
Tang Hua nodded with a grim expression. "I know, and I also know one more thing: Mingkai is not my biological son."
"Tang Hua, you good-for-nothing!" Tang Xue was shocked. Her brother wasn't her biological brother, her mother was having an affair, and her father was so weak. She felt her fate had reached a truly tragic point. If it weren't for the fact that it was late at night, their entire Tang family would probably be the talk of the town among the major families in the capital.
In a fit of anger, Tang Xue took the initiative to call Xu Chen.
"Tang Xue? Is something wrong that you're calling so late?"
"Xu Chen... I..." Tang Xue called Xu Chen in a fit of anger, wanting him to take action and make the adulterous couple disappear, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, after all, he was her mother.
"What is it? Tell me first."
"Can we meet? At my house."
"Okay." Hearing Tang Xue's choked voice, Xu Chen felt something was wrong. He pulled Wang Li out of bed and hurriedly headed to the Tang family. After all, she was Old Man Tang's granddaughter, and he couldn't just ignore her.
"Chenchen, what's wrong?"
"Your sister Xue'er called me crying, I wonder what happened?"
Wang Li rubbed her eyes. "She's probably encountered some difficulties." Realizing what was happening, she immediately pinched Xu Chen's ear and said, "Chenchen, are you really that concerned about Tang Xue?"
"I'm innocent! You know my relationship with Old Man Tang. His granddaughter is in trouble and asked me for help. How could I ignore her?"
The two hailed a taxi, gave each other an address, and arrived at the Tang family's house half an hour later.
"You're here? Please have a seat." Tang Tiancheng already knew the whole story from his granddaughter, and also knew that Xu Chen had been summoned.
"Old Tang, what's the matter? Why did you call me here in the middle of the night?" Xu Chen lit a cigarette, looked at the expressionless Tang Hua and the angry Tang Xue, and then at the ugly Tang Tiancheng. He felt that this family was very strange.
"Xue'er, why don't you talk to him?"
Tang Xue nodded and recounted the whole story in detail.
"This is your family matter, old man Tang. Why did you call me here again?" Xu Chen said helplessly. His daughter-in-law was having an affair, and he couldn't discipline her? Tang Tiancheng was becoming more and more dependent on him, even meddling in his family affairs.
"Kid, if you were me, what would you do?"
"Old Tang, you actually had this idea in mind all along, didn't you? You just asked me to carry it out." Xu Chen took a drag and exhaled a smoke ring.
"Smart kid, it's so easy talking to you. I called you over because I was afraid we wouldn't be able to explain things clearly over the phone. After all, the whole thing is a bit complicated." Old Tang, who came from the war years, couldn't possibly be without a temper. His son had been bullied for so many years, and his grandson wasn't even his own. If he didn't take revenge on that wretched woman, he would be a complete philanthropist.
"I'm making this call now, Mr. Tang. You should think this through. If I make this call, the whole of Beijing will be talking about Li Rongyin's death tomorrow, and your Tang family will be the subject of gossip. Are you sure you want me to make this call?"
"Go ahead and fight."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen took out his phone and called Wang Tianfeng, instructing him to kidnap the couple and providing him with their location and personal information.
"Whether you live or die is up to you," Xu Chen said to the Tang family after hanging up the phone. He glanced at the somewhat excited Wang Li and asked telepathically, "Lili, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
"Chenchen, it seems my gossip spirit is about to awaken. Being able to see and hear firsthand the scandals of a powerful family in the capital, tonight's trip has been worthwhile."
Xu Chen found it somewhat amusing. He patted Wang Li's hand, waiting for Wang Tianfeng to bring the person over before going home.
Three hours later, around four or five in the morning, at Xu Chen's suggestion, Tang Xue and Tang Tiancheng followed Xu Chen to an open space in the suburbs.
"Senior, we've caught them." Wang Tianfeng waved his hand, and Li Jian and Li Rongyin were brought forward.
"Hmm, your cultivation has improved slightly, not bad." Xu Chen took out a spirit stone and put it in Wang Tianfeng's hand, then removed the things from Li Rongyin and Li Jian's mouths.
"It's you!" Li Rongyin exclaimed, and Li Jian also looked at Xu Chen in surprise. Tang Tiancheng emerged from the darkness, glanced at his daughter-in-law who was about to go to hell, his face expressionless, lost in thought. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Li Rongyin.
"Dad, listen to me, listen to me. This kid lied to you about the whole thing. Don't listen to his lies, Dad."
Tang Tiancheng left expressionlessly. Tang Xue looked at her dying mother, tears streaming down her face. She quickly followed her grandfather and left the place.
"I don't want to get involved in your Tang family's petty affairs, but Old Man Tang and I have a relationship. The only one who can take action is me, Tianfeng. Burn them to ashes."
"Yes, boss." Wang Tianfeng stuffed the contents of their mouths back in, poured gasoline on them, and threw them on fire. After their struggles and screams ceased, this ill-fated relationship came to an end.
Early the next morning, a man claiming to be a member of the Haitian Gang surrendered to the police, confessing to burning Tang's daughter-in-law to death. The powerful families of Beijing were furious, awaiting the Tang family's reaction. They believed a small-time gang dared to commit such a foolish act and deserved severe punishment. Tang Tiancheng, as they wished, launched a heavy crackdown on the Haitian Gang. The entire capital was abuzz with discussion. In reality, this was all a charade staged by Xu Chen and Tang Tiancheng to divert attention.
"Old Tang, are you still angry?" Xu Chen and Tang Tiancheng were observing the team members' training at the base after class.
"The person is already dead, what's there to be angry about?"
"What about your son? I heard from Tang Xue that he doesn't seem to be in a good mental state."
"The psychologist has already intervened. Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I might have gone easy on this woman to protect this family and for Tang Hua's sake, and let her go."
"What about your grandson? Should we deal with him too?" Xu Chen waved to Qin Junlin as a greeting.
"Forget it, that kid is innocent too. I'll give him some money and get him out of here."
