Chapter 149: Chapter 149; Find him this instance

“You have the shares?” Tang Fenghao was also shocked silly! How could he have the shares? Did this mean the Tang family would take a new turn? The Tang family members who were in the hiding were shocked.

Mu Yunchen let their disbelief hang in the air for a heartbeat, savoring how the once-proud Tang men cowered under the weight of a truth they hadn’t seen coming. He straightened his collar with deliberate calm, every movement dripping with contempt.

“Yes. The shares are legally under Zhou Yuxi’s name. She is the rightful majority shareholder of Tang Conglomerate and you should know where the leadership of that company heads,” he said, his voice calm and distant, he now understood the importance of having those shares, “From today onward, the Tang family bows to her and which means I will be controlling everything.”

Tang Yanshi’s knees nearly buckled. He clutched the armrest of a nearby chair, face drained of all color. He hadn’t expected his son to do this! He hadn’t expected Tang Yuze to transfer the shares over to Zhou Yuxi! How dare he? How could he do that?

He wanted to retort, to rage, but when he met Mu Yunchen’s eyes, all he saw was an abyss waiting to swallow him whole. This was an unexpected move they hadn’t anticipated from Tang Yuze.

“You scheming bastard… bastard!” Tang Fenghao rasped, bloodied lips curling into a pitiful sneer; you could see his eyes full of horror; he already knew the shift of shares but hadn’t expected it to be Zhou Yuxi. “She’s just a woman who isn’t related to this family, how can she…..”

Before he could finish, Mu Yunchen’s boot connected sharply with his ribs. A dry crack sounded sending shivers as the temperatures went lower. Fenghao’s scream tore through the grand hall once more. No one dared to question him.

“A woman? What did you mean by saying that?” Mu Yunchen’s tone was venom dipped in ice. He crouched again, inches from Fenghao’s battered face, “She is my little princess whom I dote on her so much, and ten times better than the person you will ever be. Insult her again, and you will pray I only break your bones. She is my bottom line.”

“From this moment, Tang Yanshi, you are no longer the head of the company. Any defiance and I will drag every Tang share, every asset, every filthy secret into the light until the whole dynasty rots at my feet. I actually don’t care; you should be worried, you know…”

Silence swallowed the room. Not a soul dared breathe too loud.

“You bastard! Return those shares… Return them!” Tang Fenghao suddenly went crazy. The company shares that were owned by Tang Yuze were enough to destroy the company if they were misused or fell into the wrong hands.

How could his brother do this? But they don’t know that it was their fault for targeting his family that things become like this! Tang Yuze had worked hard and sacrificed everything for that small company to become a Conglomerate. It’s now, and now, they want to swallow it fully.

Mu Yunchen pressed harder on Fenghao’s chest, and a sickening crack echoed. Fenghao howled, tears and sweat mixing with blood.

“Speak!” Mu Yunchen snarled, he still hadn’t gotten what he wanted, “Who helped you? Who sold you the poison? Who gave you the courage to touch her? TELL ME! I want to know this instance!”

Fenghao sobbed like a baby, pain etching all over his body, “I… I… I will talk! Please! Please don’t kill me! I will talk…” He was nearing death and he could see it with his own eyes.

Mu Yunchen’s hand stretched out, grabbing a fistful of Fenghao’s hair, forcing his head back again. “Then talk before I break every bone left in your worthless body. I don’t mind breaking them one by one until I’m satisfied.”

Fenghao’s breath came in ragged gasps, the pain was unbearable just imagine having your bones shuttered one by one, “It was… it was the Chen family’s man… a servant… they brought it, said it was just to weaken them for a few days, and not to kill them… please, I didn’t know anything more… I swear…”

Mu Yunchen’s eyes went black with rage. The Chen family. Of course, but why were they getting involved with all this mess?

He didn’t waste any more time; he got his handgun, and with three shots, three bodies lay coldly on the marble floor.

“Noooooo…..” Tang Yanshi fainted. He couldn’t do anything. The servants and everyone hiding went down to their knees. Their knees gave way, trembling.

He tossed the handgun over to Li Feng, and he stepped back, brushing blood off his cuff like it was nothing. He stormed out into the night exhaling loudly.

He had gotten outside when his phone suddenly buzzed. He got it out of his trouser pockets and found out it was Su Feng calling him. He immediately received it.

“Mu Yunchen… Zhou Yuxi woke up but fell asleep again immediately. The doctors said she’s stable now and she’s safe.”

Mu Yunchen paused under the moonlight exhaling loudly, his chest heaving and feeling that heartache. His knuckles were split and raw, but when he heard that, she was safe, his eyes softened, only for a breath.

“Good, that’s good!” he murmured, feeling a slight relief, “I’m coming over; I will get there soon.”

He tossed the phone over to Li Feng, took one last look at the bloodstained Tang estate behind him, and then walked away, every step echoing with the promise of ruin for those who dared touch what was his.

He boarded his Jeep with his men and the cars drove out of the Tang family.

Tang Estate — Grand Hall

Blood still pooled on the marble, crimson trails marking Mu Yunchen’s wrath.

Tang Yanshi stirred awake after a few minutes of his family members tended to him, his mind dazed from the shock, but the stench of gunpowder and iron snapped him back to reality.

“Patriarch Tang… what do we do now?” one of the hidden family elders croaked out, his voice trembling like brittle glass. Other members had shown up from their hiding but were scared to even speak. The shares were gone, meaning they could no longer be in control of the Tang Conglomerate.

Tang Yanshi opened his eyes, tears of rage and humiliation spilling down his subtle cheeks. His lips moved but no words formed could come out, what could he do? The Tang family, once feared and revered, now knelt under another man’s heel, and it was his own son’s doing that started it all. They were done for.

“Call Tang Yuze… no, find him this instance!” he rasped, clutching his chest; they had just buried their niece, and now this? These were three bodies that needed to be dealt with, it was such a heavy blow, “Drag him back, alive or dead! This… this humiliation, I will not die with it hanging over me!”

But even he knew in his bones, the Tang family was finished. Nothing was gonna reverse the situation.

A deathly hush settled over the grand hall, broken only by the muffled sobs of the maids who had dared peek at the carnage.

Tang Yanshi’s words, which were meant to inspire desperate action, instead echoed like a death knell in the minds of the elders.

Tang Fenghao’s lifeless body still twitched faintly, a final mockery of his once-boastful mouth. A few men hurried to drag the corpses away, but their hands trembled so violently that they left a smeared trail of red behind on the marbled floor.

“Patriarch, we must inform the board of this…” another elder croaked, but Tang Yanshi’s glare silenced him.

“Inform them? About what? That we are no longer in control of the company? That a bastard from the Mu family and an outsider woman hold our fate in their palms?” Tang Yanshi’s voice cracked, rising to a shrill bark that made even the old steward flinch. How could he let other people know he went through such humiliation?

His chest heaved heavily; decades of power were gone in a single night, and he couldn’t fight against Mu Yunchen, and neither could he do anything.

“Gather all our hidden assets. Liquidate what you must do immediately. We may have lost the Conglomerate, but the Tang bloodline will not starve like dogs!” He slammed his palm on the table, fresh tears splashing on the back of his withered hand. He was determined to save the little assets for their dignity.
