Tang Yue analyzed slowly and methodically: "If I were Gao Lingchuan, I would try every means to create a funding gap for the Yu Group, forcing them to abandon their most capital-intensive business lines. The Yu Group's key project this year is the development of the Universal Studios in the suburbs. If the project is delayed, or if some major unforeseen event occurs, we will have to continuously invest funds..."
He paused, then suddenly remembered Yu Jianguo's recent unusual behavior, and said with certainty, "The Yu Group is in trouble now, and it's not a small one."
"The Yu family father and daughter lent you a hand after the Tang family fell on hard times; you can't ignore that kindness alone. Find a way to inform Yu Jianguo and make sure he takes precautions against the Gao family." Old Master Tang narrowed his eyes, tapping his fingers on the table with an imposing air.
Yu Wan spent a fortune buying a private jet, gifting shops worth millions, and even living together... On the surface, she was pursuing Tang Yue in a grand manner, but what everyone was really focused on was Yu Jianguo's tacit acceptance of her advances.
This move signifies that Tang Yue has been placed under the protection of the Yu family, making it impossible for their spies to infiltrate his inner circle. It not only provides him with numerous conveniences but also prevents him from putting on a pitiful act during his "bankruptcy period."
This alone made Old Master Tang feel quite favorably toward the Yu family, especially Yu Wan. If he didn't love his grandson deeply enough, why would he have spent so much money!
This granddaughter-in-law is really wonderful!
Tang Yue lowered his eyes and lifted the teapot to refill his cup with fresh tea. This was tea brewed from the Immortal Tea of Qingfeng Peak in Mengding. The tea soup was clear and slightly yellow, and it was beneficial to the spleen and stomach. It was known as "Immortal Tea".
He stopped what he was doing with a smile, slowly put down the teapot, and deliberately asked, "The Yu family has been opposing us at every turn all these years, and they are the culprits who caused the Tang family's bankruptcy. Aren't you angry at all, Grandpa?"
Old Master Tang glanced at him irritably and snorted, "Do I look like a senile old man? The Yu family is clearly being dragged down by our Tang family... Wait, are you testing my attitude?"
Tang Yue smiled faintly and met his gaze, but did not reply.
Old Master Tang choked, feeling a tightness in his chest. The matter was still unresolved, and they were already siding with outsiders. If they actually managed to marry his granddaughter-in-law, would he still have a place as an old man?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt, yet he couldn't lash out at the smiling face before him. Suddenly, Old Master Tang remembered something, and raised an eyebrow with a sly grin: "I heard the Yu family's young lady was quite pleased when she bankrupted you. If she knew you were the one who used her..."
Tang Yue paused for a few seconds, his face still showing the same calm and collected expression.
Even Grandpa Tang couldn't discover his true thoughts.
but.
Thinking of how Tang Yue had repeatedly used his connections to deal with the Yu family's youngest daughter, Old Master Tang instantly understood and leaned back with a satisfied expression. "Tsk, keep pretending. You'll regret it later!"

Not long after Tang Yue left, Tang Zhanhang rushed back upon hearing the news, sweating profusely with anxiety. However, when he arrived at the old house, he was already too late.
Uncle Zhang asked with lowered eyes, "Second Master, are you going upstairs to see the old man? He just fell asleep. I'm going upstairs now to see if he's awake yet?"
"Wait a minute." Tang Zhanhang stopped him. "Don't disturb my dad's rest. I have some things to do at the company. I'll head back first."
He left in a hurry, not noticing the mockery in Uncle Zhang's eyes.
Uncle Zhang went upstairs, knocked on the door of the study, and told Grandpa Tang everything that had happened.
Old Master Tang remained silent for a while, then waved for him to leave. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he prayed once again that the accident involving his eldest son and his wife was not related to his second son.
Meanwhile, Tang Zhanhang got into his car and immediately made a phone call, briefly explaining that Tang Yue had come to visit Old Master Tang. Finally, he anxiously asked, "Do you think my good nephew has really gotten involved with the Yu family?"
"You ran back to the Tang residence because of this, and left in less than a minute?" Gao Lingchuan's breathing became heavier on the other end of the phone: "Aren't you afraid of arousing Tang Yue's suspicion? Fool! No wonder Old Master Tang chose to cultivate Tang Yue after losing an heir, it's because Tang Zhanhang himself is utterly useless."
"What can I do? Tang Yue finally showed up, and your men couldn't find any accurate information, so I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands." Tang Zhanhang slammed his fist on the steering wheel in frustration and said, "Don't forget that once Tang Yue rises to power, neither of us will have a good outcome."
Enraged by this, Gao Lingchuan kicked the trash can, the loud noise attracting the secretary's attention. Pushing open the door, she saw her boss waving at her, signaling her to leave.
He paced back and forth in his office for a while, then a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes: "According to the information I received, Tang Yue will be attending Jiangda University's anniversary celebration tonight. Why don't you go there and intercept him to verify the information yourself?"
When the time comes, Tang Zhanhang can be sacrificed. Before that, we should squeeze his value out of him until he gets another small part of AI705's data from Tang Zhanhang.
Tang Zhanhang was overjoyed: "Great, great, I'll have my assistant make an invitation right away."
After hanging up the phone, his face contorted for a moment, and he spat into the phone. He was no longer the disoriented man he had been just moments before; even a hint of ferocity rose in his small eyes.
Tang Zhanhang took out another spare phone and sent a message to a hidden number.
"Gao Lingchuan has lowered his guard against me again. Also, the plan remains unchanged tonight."

Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Meng Shen's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from people asking when they would arrive.
He's currently pursuing a girl from a music academy, and he specially ordered champagne roses from abroad, having Huang San and others prepare the venue in advance, planning a romantic confession after the girl's school anniversary performance. Perhaps because of a bet he made with Gao Lingyang, he's paying extra attention to this girl compared to his previous girlfriends.
Yu Wan never interfered with Meng Shen's romantic life. Meng Shen was very sensible. Despite his reputation as a playboy, he was quite innocent at heart. At most, he would hold hands and kiss his girlfriends, but he never crossed the line.
In contrast, she was already with Tang Yue...
Yu Wan's cheeks inexplicably felt hot, and she became uneasy all over. She suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go."
"No rush, Master Yue hasn't come back yet." Meng Shen's fingers were clicking rapidly on his phone as he replied to messages, so he didn't notice Yu Wan's somewhat suspicious expression.
Yu Wan crossed her arms and squinted at Meng Shen, wondering when this guy had betrayed her.
"Click"
The door lock clicked open, and upon seeing the person who had arrived, Aunt Liu said happily, "Mr. Tang, you're finally back! Miss has been waiting for you for so long. The driver is ready and can leave at any time."
After she finished speaking, she noticed Tang Yue smile, and the aloofness and coldness that usually lay beneath his gentle exterior softened considerably. It was clear that he was extremely pleased by those words.
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
