Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Moving Into the Tang Family!

The next day!

Throughout Xuanjing City,

a drastic change had taken place.

It was still in front of the Tang Family’s entrance, but the appearance had altered, and Tang Ran’s corpse was nowhere to be seen.

A troop of soldiers rushed into the Tang Household, and Tang Lin, as a criminal, was captured.

As he was led out of the Tang Family residence,

Tang Lin was roaring with fury.

"I won’t accept this... I won’t accept this!"

"On what grounds do you arrest us!"

But no one gave Tang Lin the chance to explain and he was taken away directly.

As for the other members of the Tang Family, most of the high-ranking ones were also taken away.

This swift and decisive action spread throughout the circles of Xuanjing City, yet nobody brought the matter to light.

One must know, to bring about the annihilation of the entire Tang Family overnight, it must have been no ordinary character.

Many others, who were unaware of the existence akin to martial artists, could only wildly speculate now.

"Have you heard? It seems like the Tang Family has been annihilated, and even the Family Head Tang Ran is dead!"

"This is terrifying, who could Tang Ran have offended to meet with such retribution!"

"I don’t know..."

...

Just when everyone thought that of the four great families of Xuanjing City, the Tang Family was on the brink of destruction,

after all, if a family loses its direct lineage, it’s tantamount to annihilation.

Soon, a piece of news spread.

Tang Zhong has returned to his position in the Tang Family!

The news instantly caused a stir in Xuanjing City.

"Who is Tang Zhong?"

"I don’t know!"

"Never heard of him!"

"I know, he’s the criminal from the Tang Family, the one who once attacked Brick City. Didn’t he die? How come he has returned now?"

...

Tang Zhong was unfamiliar to many, and most people’s memories of him were from events six months ago. Now, as half a year had passed, many had forgotten, and few could recall him.

Several days later,

the Tang Household underwent a comprehensive renovation, and the exterior of the old mansion had been completely transformed.

There was word that tomorrow Tang Zhong would officially take over the old mansion of the Tang Family.

The Tang Family manor was seen as prime real estate, at least its land was considered a juicy morsel.

Many people had designs on this piece of land; with Tang Ran dead, the Tang Family no longer had a protector, and even more, people had never heard of Tang Zhong.

Many nouveau riches were unfamiliar with the name Tang Zhong, and it sounded like a young person’s name to them. Several old foxes within Xuanjing City were getting ready to push for a forced sale.

At this moment, within the Jiang Family in Xuanjing City, a family meeting was in session.

Family Head Jiang Nantian sat in the chief seat.

In front of him, all the high-ranking members of the Jiang Family

gathered around a long table.

After a brief silence, Jiang Nantian finally spoke.

"You must have heard about the recent events in Xuanjing City!"

Upon hearing this, an executive beside him said, "We’ve heard!"

"Then, what are your thoughts on the Tang Family’s annihilation?" Jiang Nantian asked with a smile.

"The strength of the Tang Family was not weak, their downfall is quite mysterious!"

"Yes, Tang Ran wasn’t particularly feeble either."

"I think they must have provoked someone they shouldn’t have, leading to their downfall, or perhaps, Tang Ran did something he shouldn’t have done and drew attention!" discussed a group of Jiang Family senior members.

"Right now, I don’t want to talk about Tang Ran. What I want to discuss is the Tang Family’s estate, that old mansion, which I’ve heard is excellent!" Jiang Nantian said with a smile.

Jiang Nantian also had designs on the Tang Family’s old mansion.

"Indeed, that plot of land is most favorable!"

"Family Head... why do you ask?"

Jiang Nantian said with a smile, "If we changed this ’Tang’ to ’Jiang’, it would sound really nice, wouldn’t it?"

The senior members couldn’t help but look at Jiang Nantian. "Does the Family Head mean to take over that piece of land?"

"Yes! I heard Tang Zhong is back. He was expelled from the Tang Family like a prodigal son. Now that Tang Ran is in trouble and Tan Lin is captured, with so many of the direct lineage arrested, he dares to return. He wants to inherit the Tang Family’s legacy, but Tang Zhong is now backed only by Jiang Weiwei’s Crown Prince’s Club. What is he going to use to fight us? So we must obtain the old Tang Family residence!" Jiang Nantian said with a laugh.

"Indeed, it’s just a Crown Prince’s Club. Even though it’s backed by General Bai Ruoxing, if our Jiang Family really pressures them, they have no way out!"

"Yes!"

"Alright then. Tang Zhong is about to take control of the Tang Family soon. On the day, I will specially go to talk to him about this. Jiang Weiwei can be given to him, but this old Tang Family house will become ours!" Jiang Nantian said.

...

It wasn’t just the Jiang Family, many who had their eyes on the old Tang Family house had called for emergency meetings that night.

After all, the location of the old Tang Family house was really too good.

"This time, we must get our hands on the Tang Family old house!"

"It’s just a young man who was once despised by his family. How capable could he be? So, we are determined to win it!"

...

The next day, at the villa backed by the mountains.

With Tang Ran dead, all the high level of the Tang Family had been removed.

Tang Zhong was well aware of this; it seemed that these must have been the doings of ’Master’, as mentioned by Li Linglong.

He thought to himself that he must visit this so-called ’Master’ later, but for now, the important thing was to take charge of the Tang Family.

His parents had spent their lives working for the Tang Family. This was the reason Tang Zhong chose to take control of the Tang Family, ultimately following his parents’ wishes.

Today, Tang Zhong dressed in formal attire and checked his reflection in the mirror before leaving the house.

After more than a decade, this was the first time he would be together with his parents, so he wanted to look sharp.

Then, he made his way to his parents’ room.

At the door, Tang Zhong heard voices coming from the room.

"Waa waa waa waa..."

It was definitely Tang Xinglou’s voice.

Then Jiang Weiwei’s voice followed, "Uncle Tang, you look very handsome in that!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhong started to smile.

He then pushed the door open.

He saw in the living room, in front of a huge mirror.

Jiang Weiwei, dressed in a gown, was helping Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue fix their clothes.

After learning of Tang Ran’s demise, Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue’s mood had also changed. They had nearly recovered in just a few days, able to stand now; the only barrier was their inability to speak.

At the moment, Tang Xinglou was dressed in a suit, a black tailcoat, fussing with his clothes, seemingly uncomfortable and wanting to take them off, while Jiang Shuiyue was fine in her white dress, her skin paler due to previous blood loss, with no other issues.

Jiang Weiwei kept persuading, "Uncle Tang, you really do look good in these clothes... don’t take them off!"

But Tang Xinglou was still trying to remove them.

Jiang Weiwei didn’t know what to do when suddenly, she saw Tang Zhong and immediately called out, "Tang Zhong, come here!"

"Coming!" Tang Zhong laughed, then stepped forward.

Seeing his father in the outfit, Tang Zhong went over and said, "Dad, today is a good day, you can’t take off these clothes!"

"Waa waa waa!" Tang Xinglou said.

"I know you’re uncomfortable, but... today is an important day for your son to take charge of the Tang Family. Don’t you want to look sharp?" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"Think about it, so many people will be watching your son. You are my dad..."

"Later, they’ll say, look, that’s Tang Zhong’s dad..."

Tang Xinglou seemed to take in the words and fell silent.

"Besides, you look very handsome in this outfit, at least as handsome as your son..." Tang Zhong said with a smile.

Standing in front of Tang Xinglou, they both looked at their reflections in the huge mirror ahead.

The two figures were almost carved from the same mold, the only difference being that Tang Xinglou looked a bit older.

"Waa waa waa!" Tang Xinglou gestured with his hands.

"I know, I know all of it. I bet you want to return to the Tang Family too, so let’s go back in style!" Tang Zhong said with a laugh.

This time, Tang Xinglou didn’t resist anymore and nodded firmly.

"Let’s go, to the Tang Family!" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"Mhm!" Tang Xinglou nodded with a smile.

The family slowly walked out of the villa!
