Tang Wan sat up sensitively when he heard the wrong footsteps. When he saw it was Zong He, he snorted in dissatisfaction. He had just wanted to get up, but simply lay down again, put the two cats in his arms, and continued to sleep!
Zong He sat down beside the bed and poked Tang Wan on the back. The two cats smelled his scent and sensitively jumped out of Tang Wan's arms, climbed onto the windowsill and hid. Even Fatty Jin's movements were very quick.
Tang Wan hugged the pillow tightly, feeling depressed and not wanting to talk to the person behind him.
This was the first time that Zong He lowered his attitude to talk to someone. "Are you still upset?"
Tang Wan tilted his head slightly, still unwilling to say anything.
Zong He poked him again, "Are you scared today?"
Tang Wan pursed his lips in frustration, and was somewhat softened by Zong He's attitude. He should be the first person to see Zong He like this. To be honest, he was a little happy.
Seeing that Tang Wan still ignored him, Zong He poked him helplessly, "I wanted to tell you, but I didn't have time."
Tang Wan snorted in annoyance, "Bullshit, you could have said it many times, but you just didn't say it! Is it fun to lie to me?"
Zong He's face darkened and he had nothing to say.
Tang Wan turned over and looked Zong He in the eye. "You just want to save face. You think it's embarrassing to tell me that you can only turn into a kitten and be so weak, right?"
Zong He's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
Tang Wan rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Have you ever thought about how I feel when I raised you as my son? Now that my son is gone, what can you use to compensate me? Have you ever thought about the psychological gap I'm going to feel? I will never see Da Zhuang again!"
Zong He took a deep breath and looked at Tang Wan, who was talking nonsense. Whatever he said seemed reasonable. He really couldn't argue with him. "Then you tell me what to do."
Tang Wan was speechless. He was just angry and he really didn't want to do anything to Zong He. He just wanted him to apologize sincerely and that was it. He knew he couldn't hide it from him in the future. After all, they were not familiar with each other at the beginning and he wanted a divorce. Zong He had no choice but to become like that. He didn't trust him and couldn't tell him the truth.
He was angry because their relationship had developed well, but Zong He still kept it a secret from him. This made him feel upset, and Tang Wan felt uncomfortable because he would not be able to see Da Zhuang anymore.
Zong He asked back, "You don't know what to do, why are you still angry?"
"I..." Tang Wan was so angry that he sat up, thinking to himself, what kind of weird excuse is this?
Zong He's eyes were serious. He really thought, "Why are you angry when you don't know what to do?" You should think about your goal in advance when doing anything. This has always been the Marshal's combat standard. There is no action without a goal. He looked at Tang Wan with tolerance, as if to say, "You are sitting up, you are taller, you have to be reasonable."
Tang Wan was speechless, "So, is it my fault to be angry?"
Zong He's face darkened. "If you want to settle the score, I actually want to settle it with you too."
Tang Wan asked angrily: "You calculate it, you still have the nerve to calculate it, ha! Isn't it just the trivial matter during the divorce?"
Zong He stood up, knelt on one knee on the bed, and pressed his upper body over, looking down at Tang Wan, and asked with special concern: "Whose father are you? How many times did you ask me to call you dad? Do you remember?"
Tang Wan was frightened by the other party's action. He tilted his neck back and his momentum instantly dropped by half. "Can you sit down and talk?"
Zong He recalled the time when Tang Wan pressed him on the bed and forced him to admit his mistake and call him daddy. Instead, he became even tougher than before, "I'll sit down after you finish speaking."
Tang Wan nervously pushed the person above him, but found that he couldn't move him. His momentum dropped again, "You've turned into a little kitten. I can only raise you as my son. You're like this now, I won't cry even if you ask me to."
Zong He had a gloomy face and pressed forward, pushing Tang Wan down, and then pressed on his back, "I wasn't angry when you pressed me like this, and you are still angry with me now."
Tang Wan punched the pillow angrily, "You are here purely for revenge!"
Feeling the restless hands on him, Tang Wan blushed. He had indeed rubbed Da Zhuang like this before... But! At that time, he was a cub, a child with clumsy hands and feet, and it was definitely not so erotic!
"Didn't you call me dad too?" Tang Wan blushed. He no longer dared to argue with the other party about Da Zhuang's problem. He felt like he had become a piece of dessert on the other party's plate, the kind that could be eaten at any time. "I'll call you dad, okay? Dad, please let me go!"
Zong He didn't expect Tang Wan to be like this. He was speechless. His hands were stiffly pressed on his shoulders, with no place to put his claws.
Tang Wan is not a person who cares too much about face like Zong He. "Anyway, we have to settle accounts tonight. What grudges do you have? You tell me, let's settle them together. Anyway, you killed my son, so let's settle them together in the end!"
As a businessman, you should never suffer a loss and always remind the other party to recognize his mistakes.
Zong He really had no explanation for losing his "son". He was a little angry at first, but now that the two of them were like this, the situation had changed. Zong He simply hugged Tang Wan tightly and kissed his ear, "I'll compensate you with an identical one."
Tang Wan said disdainfully, "No, my son may be like me, a human being, hairless, bald."
Zong He couldn't argue with him, so he just shut up.
Tang Wan had a reason, "You never called me dad, but I called you dad, and you also killed my son. Do you owe me now? You haven't reflected on your actions, so why did you come back?"
Zong He was speechless after hearing his words. He turned him over and kissed him directly.
Tang Wan fell silent immediately. His fighting ability was his weakness, and his eloquence was useless.
After the long kiss, Tang Wan glared at the person on him with disgust. So, this is the style of soldiers. If you can't win the argument, just kiss them. Is this reasonable?
Zong He leaned over and kissed him again, reluctantly saying, "I don't want to sleep in the study."
Tang Wan was amused, and his anger subsided. Seeing the Marshal looking so aggrieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you still going to save face in the future? Have you changed?"
Zong He leaned over and kissed the corner of Tang Wan's mouth, and promised deeply: "Change it."
Tang Wan stared at him for a while, and seeing the seriousness in his eyes, he really smiled, "It's good that you know you're wrong. Can you get up from me first? You're pressing me so hard that it's hard for me to breathe."
"You'll get used to it after a bit of practice." Originally, there was no other meaning behind this statement. Soldiers are straightforward and direct. I didn't expect that it would have a different meaning when it was said in this situation. Tang Wan blushed and watched in silence as Zong He treated the gangster so seriously. Zong He also realized that there was an ambiguity in his words. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Zong He simply kissed him again. Not only would he not sleep in the study tonight, but he would also do everything he should do.
Tang Wan subconsciously struggled a few times, but when he couldn't get free, there was nothing he could do. He just made up his mind and decided to do it. After being married for so long, how could he live a life of purity? When the two were in love, they were just going with the flow. Unexpectedly, there was a "pop" sound beside the table, followed by a cat's scream. Tang Wan's heart skipped a beat, "Jin Xiaopang!"
Little Fat Jin was so scared that he shrank under the table, holding his tail and licking his fur. He looked at the soup that he had pushed to the ground and spilled all over the floor. He couldn't help but stretch out his paw to dip it, lick it, and then smacked his lips, reluctant to let go of the bowl of soup.
Tang Wan looked at Zong He's unsatisfied eyes and tried not to laugh. He really had no interest in cleaning up the soup on the floor.
Zong He sat up helplessly. At this time, Lin Bolai knocked on the door. "You should not be asleep so early, Marshal, Young Master Gu is here."
Zong He pinched Tang Wan's face angrily and said, "I'll be back in a minute..."
"You don't have to come back," Tang Wan calmed down now, and said solemnly, "I think, in order to deepen the impression, it's better for you to go back and sleep in the study. Yes, I can't let you go so easily, I'm a principled person!"
Zong He: “…”
————
"This time all the issues have been clarified. As for the royal family, it's better for us to keep it secret. I was worried that the information would be intercepted, so I came here in person." A young man in his thirties, with a steady temperament, without any military sharpness or hostility, spoke slowly and steadily, wearing a military uniform without rank, sitting in Zong He's study. When he saw Zong He coming, he didn't stand up, and he was smiling while speaking.
"I didn't expect this identity to be so important. Duke Tang really values the family heritage, but I didn't expect that he would dare to do such a thing. In order to protect the Tang family's three hundred years of glory, Madam has also suffered a lot." Gu Yankai saw Zong He close the door, then began to speak: "Tang Wan, formerly known as Tang Yu, was selected as the Crown Princess at the age of six because of her S-level mental power, which was second to none among the nobles, and the rich cultural heritage of Duke Tang's family."
Zong He had a cold face, he already knew this.
Gu Yankai said with emotion: "It was originally a perfect life that others envied and hated, but unfortunately, his mother died when he was seven years old, and his brother Tang Tingye was only two years old, and misfortune befell these two brothers. Duke Tang kept a little lover outside, which was not a new thing among the nobles. There were many people keeping little lovers. Unfortunately, this lover was the daughter of the woman abandoned by his butler Tang Lian when he was young. Taking advantage of Tang Lian's guilt, the little lover secretly gave birth to a son for Duke Tang under Tang Lian's protection. The spiritual power also inherited the talent of the Tang family, and was S-level at birth."
Gu Yankai couldn't help laughing when he said this. "What happened next is more interesting. After Madam Tang died, Duke Tang took his lover home. The second young master was also recognized by Duke Tang because of his super high mental strength. There is nothing wrong with this for aristocrats. The new Madam Tang also treated Tang Yu and Tang Tingye as her own children and took good care of them. Duke Tang was also very satisfied.
Here comes the interesting part. The eldest son Tang Yu’s mental strength is getting lower and lower, and he gradually becomes a useless person. In order to preserve the marriage with the royal family and the glory of the Duke’s Mansion for hundreds of years, Duke Tang decides to let the second son replace the eldest son. Tang Yu is locked up in the backyard, pretending to be seriously ill and unable to see people for half a year. Using high-tech cosmetic surgery technology, the second son, who is the same age as Tang Yu, is made to look like Tang Yu, replacing the eldest son’s life.
Zong He's expression became more and more ugly. He did find out some information before, but it was not so detailed. "Go on."
"After that, the real Tang Yu was locked up. The Duke's Mansion announced that the second son had died, which meant they lost a son. In fact, this was not a very smart move. It would have been perfect if they had concealed the existence of the second son. Unfortunately, in order to get into the Tang family, Madam Tang had to play with her son's talent. The reason why the switch was not discovered was because the children were young and looked exactly the same. They could have forgotten all their previous memories due to illness. The second son did not need to remember others. He only needed to remember his playmate who he had met once, the little prince who was only seven years old at the time."
Gu Yankai looked at the photos of the two people. "Looking at them now, they are not that similar. Maybe their bones have grown and they are becoming more and more like their original selves. The good thing is that the Crown Princess looks like his mother, not ugly."
At this point, Gu Yankai still felt a little regretful, "If I were ugly, it would be more interesting."
Zong He frowned, tired of listening to Gu Yankai's story, "Where did he go later, and who gave him the fake identity?"
"This is also very interesting. His younger brother, Tang Tingye, the little duke, is really scheming. He saw Tang Yu being locked up when he was only three years old. The child's servants were also silenced. At that time, he knew that his father would not forgive him if he told this matter to others, so he did not dare to ask for help or look for his grandfather. Instead, he chose to please his stepmother obediently and treated his fake brother as his own brother. He slowly gathered power in the family. Now he is sixteen years old, and he secretly controls the entire Tang family. The most amazing thing is that 70% of the Tang family's business network is in his hands."
Gu Yankai admired Tang Tingye's expression and said with a smile: "It was he who helped Tang Yu escape, and those self-protection methods were secretly taught by Tang Tingye. Tang Tingye originally sent someone to send his brother to a remote planet for temporary refuge, changed his name to Tang Wan, and brought him back after he completely controlled the Tang family." The more Gu Yankai talked, the more he felt that Tang Tingye was a talent. "It's a pity that Tang Tingye is so scheming that he can only be a noble. He is a military genius, or a successful politician."
Zong He said coldly, "Maybe, he will become a warmonger."
Gu Yankai's face paused, "Indeed, this kid has been suppressed for a long time and is a bit bloodthirsty. What I'm thinking now is, does Tang Lian know that he hired someone to kill Tang Wan?"
Zong He sneered, "Little thing!"
"Pfft! He should have known about it, but he didn't tell you in advance. This kid is really brave." Gu Yankai said with a smile: "He is testing whether you have the ability to protect his brother."
Zong He looked grim as he picked up the intelligence and read it himself. Gu Yankai continued, "Although Tang Tingye is scheming, he is only a teenager after all. He didn't expect that Tang Yu was extremely unlucky. He encountered space pirates during the transfer and disappeared, and even the signal could not be found. I suspect that the identity signal was erased by Tang Yu, that is, Tang Wan, before he lost his memory. He didn't want to be involved with the Tang family anymore, and didn't want to implicate his brother anymore, so that Tang Tingye couldn't find him. According to his marksmanship, he will definitely have no problem protecting himself."
At this time, Uncle Lin knocked on the door and brought in a bowl of noodles. Gu Yankai quickly stood up and answered personally, "Thank you, Uncle Lin!"
Zong He turned on his communicator and called out as Gu Yankai sat down, "Mo Wen, come with me."
Gu Yankai had just picked up the chopsticks, but when he heard Zong He's words, he quickly stopped what he was doing, "Why are you calling Mo Wen so late at night? He's like a rabid dog, he's almost going crazy these days, he wants to bite everyone he sees."
Zong He hung up the communicator and said calmly, "Let's go to Duke Tang's house."
"Hey!" Gu Yankai stood up anxiously, "This concerns the reputation of the royal family. I came here in person because I didn't want to leak it. If you go, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the royal family about the Tang family's replacement? The Duke didn't hire a killer to kill someone, and he doesn't know about the poisoning. Can you calm down?"
Zong He had already picked up the military coat on the hanger and said, "I've gone there when it's darker and no one is paying attention."
"You brought soldiers with you to visit in person at night, and you chose such a time?" Gu Yankai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If someone didn't know, they would think you were raiding my house."
Zong He put on his coat, took out his military rank from his pocket and buckled it on his shoulder, and said coldly with a cold face: "If your partner is bullied like this, you are not a man if you don't come to seek redress!"
Gu Yankai was speechless after hearing this. He looked at the noodles on the table, took a few bites, picked up the bowl and followed. He followed them all the way out of the hall and had already finished the bowl of noodles. The soldiers also eat very fast.
Tang Wan cleaned up the soup on the floor and came out to see Zong He going out. In the middle of the night, he was wearing a formal military uniform with shoulder straps, as if he was going to fight a battle. Tang Wan asked nervously, "What happened?"
Zong He paused and walked back from the aircraft, "Go out and do something. There's no war, don't be afraid."
Tang Wan nodded obediently, thinking that Zong He was comforting him, "Then be careful."
Zong He said gently, "It's okay. I have a document on my desk that's related to you. You can take a look."
Tang Wan tilted his head slightly, "Are you going to vent your anger on me? I was miserable before, wasn't I?" Looking at Zong He's eyes again, Tang Wan realized that he had guessed right.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dazhuang...his uncle!" Tang Wan suppressed his smirk and couldn't help but tease him. He didn't plan to stop Zong He. He believed that a marshal like Zong He would not impulsively do anything unreliable. Since he wanted to go, let him go. He would bear the consequences with him.
Zong He raised the corner of his mouth and gently scratched Tang Wan's nose, "Smart!"
Tang Wan smiled with his eyes curved, "You all praise me like this."
After sending Zong He onto the aircraft and watching him leave, Tang Wan went to Zong He's study. This door was usually closed. Tang Wan glanced at the fingerprint button, hesitated for a moment, and put his palm on it. After the authority was approved, Tang Wan curled his lips. Sure enough, Zong He gave him the privilege.
Picking up the documents on Zong He’s desk, Tang Wan sat on Zong He’s chair and began to read them slowly.
After reading it, Tang Wan sat here calmly for half an hour. Then he sighed heavily and called Ji Yan: "I want to go to Duke Tang's house."
He also didn't expect that the original body would be so miserable.
There are some things that you need to face by yourself. He doesn't need Zong He to protect him like this. There is nothing he dare not face.
————
At ten o'clock in the evening, Duke Tang, who was already over sixty years old, had just laid down when his current butler suddenly came to report: "Duke, Marshal Zong He is here and wants to see you."
"Zong He?" Tang Zhenqi frowned and sat up, "Why did he suddenly come to see me so late in the night." For some reason, Tang Zhenqi had a bad feeling. He had never found out who the officer following Tang Wan was. There must be someone interfering. Could it be Zong He's subordinate?
The housekeeper reminded quietly: "He also brought two adjutants, Major General Gu Yankai and Major General Mervyn Gabriel."
Tang Zhenqi's face became serious and he quickly changed his clothes and came out.
In the hall, Zong He stood coldly in the middle, with two people standing on his left and right. One had black hair and black eyes, gentle and seemingly harmless. The other had short white hair and a pair of purple eyes, which were different from those of ordinary people. His eyes were charming but also cold. He looked at people as if they were dead objects, which made people shudder. Zong He's fighting maniac, the captain of the special operations force, the sharpest fang of the imperial army, Major General Mervyn Gabriel, wherever he appeared, there would be blood and death. When Tang Zhenqi saw him, his face became more serious. To be honest, no one wanted to see Mervyn Gabriel's purple eyes.
Duke Tang was still polite to Zong He, "I don't know why the Marshal suddenly came to me so late. Please take a seat. Two major generals, please take a seat."
Zong He sat down expressionlessly, not even looking at the other person, let alone talking to him. As for what the other person had done, he was already enduring by not beating him up directly. After all, it would not sound good to tell others that he had beaten his father-in-law.
Gu Yankai said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Duke's rest so late, but we can't help it. Someone tried to assassinate the marshal and his wife today. We checked and found that it is related to your Duke's Mansion, so the marshal wanted to ask about it."
When Tang Zhenqi heard the word "assassination", his eyes froze, but he said calmly: "Is it related to our Duke's Mansion? Then we must investigate it thoroughly."
Zong He snorted contemptuously, "Bring the person up here."
A soldier in black special combat uniform came into the hall carrying a person in his arms in the blink of an eye. He threw the person straight to the ground, and then stepped on the back of his neck with one foot.
Seeing the person lying below, Tang Zhenqi's pupils shrank and his face turned cold, "Marshal, what do you mean by this?"
The person being stepped on was his old butler, Tang Lian.
Zong He said with cold eyes: "The Duchess teamed up with her father to hire someone to kill my partner. The Duke should know what crime it is?"
Duke Tang was puzzled: "Your partner?"
Mervin, who was standing behind Zong He, asked back mercilessly: "Don't you know who you want to kill? Will Mrs. Tang come out on her own, or wait for me to catch her?" As he said this, Mervin had habitually touched the dagger on his waist. He didn't care whether it was a man or a woman. In his eyes, there were only three kinds of people: the living, the dead, and brothers.
Duke Tang said with an unpleasant expression, "My wife has a gentle personality and has no grudges against the Marshal's wife. How could she hire someone to kill someone? I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding here."
Zong He was too lazy to explain. He was too lazy to talk nonsense in front of the evidence. Gu Yankai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. You probably don't know what the relationship is between your old housekeeper and your wife? Tang Lian, whose original name is Li Ke, is the biological father of your wife Li Mo."
Duke Tang's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Tang Lian coldly. After receiving the bitter look from the other party, he no longer needed to ask, "Then is the Marshal's wife's surname Tang?"
Zong He would not accuse him of a crime for no reason. At this point, he already knew who Tang Lian wanted to kill. Zong He chose this time to come because he did not want to make it public. The former Crown Princess became the Marshal's partner. If this matter got out, Zong He would not be able to live well. So Duke Tang thought he had found Zong He's weakness and said calmly, "Uncle Lian, are you trying to do something illegal for your daughter?"
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. You can't put all the blame on the old butler with just one sentence. He is your father-in-law, right? What your madam did is even more exciting." Gu Yankai's face also turned cold. This father didn't care whether his son lived or died. He first cleared his madam's grievances and even put all the sins on the old butler. He was really cruel.
Zong He already had murderous intent in his eyes, "Let's settle all the accounts today, and invite Madam Tang up to me."
