Chapter 490: Chapter 491: Pillar of the Nation! (Additional 10)

Secretary Qin, whose allegiance everyone naturally knew, spoke words that could not possibly be false.

He said that after arriving at Xuanguan Sea from Zhu Island City, the Governor and the Chief Justice had headed straight here.

This was just too bizarre.

Jiang Nantian’s complexion had turned ashen. Although the Tang Family had been powerful, they had no influence over at Zhu Island City.

That the Governor and the Chief Justice had come here was probably because of Tang Zhong!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Jiang Nantian muttered.

He could tell from Secretary Qin’s tone that he was clearly prepared to form a good relationship with Tang Zhong.

Yet the two of them had clearly never had any interaction!

The scene before him had to be fake; there was no way the Governor and the Chief Justice knew this Tang Zhong.

The next second, what Jiang Nantian had thought was shattered.

He saw the Governor and the Chief Justice looking at Tang Zhong, extending their hands: "Mr. Tang, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" Tang Zhong said.

"We parted hastily at Zhu Island City and didn’t get a chance to thank Mr. Tang!" the Governor said with a smile. "Plus, Mr. Tang, you really look so young!"

Previously, they had only seen Tang Zhong in disguise and had not seen his true face.

"What is there to thank for? How is the construction of the Red Shadow Bridge going now?" Tang Zhong asked.

"With the four hundred billion you donated, the construction has already begun its initial phase. I believe the bridge will be reopened soon!" said the Governor.

"That’s good then!"

This conversation transmitted word by word to the ears of the people around them.

In their hearts, apart from being shocked, they were trembling.

The Governor coming to find Tang Zhong was shocking enough, but donating four hundred billion, what did that mean? It seemed that Tang Zhong had donated so much money to Zhu Island City, four hundred billion, which might be the total wealth of the top ten in Xuan Country.

But Tang Zhong had actually donated four hundred billion.

The surrounding tycoons really wanted to strangle themselves. Why had they come here today to demean themselves? When he donated, it was four hundred billion, while they, a group of ignorant people, were trying to sell ancestral lands for a mere one billion.

Jiang Weiwei was dumbfounded, and the Jiang family couple could no longer speak.

Jiang Nantian stood there, almost feeling numb all over. Four hundred billion, this sum of money was huge for the Jiang Family, but Tang Zhong had just donated it outright. He didn’t doubt this news was true because the other party was the Governor, and indeed, there had been news from Zhu Island City that the Red Shadow Bridge had been cut off. Later, thanks to the money from a mysterious donor, the Red Shadow Bridge began to be rebuilt...

And Jiang Nantian had never imagined that the mysterious donor was Tang Zhong!

However, Tang Zhong had clearly been captured by Tang Ran and later, somehow, he had escaped - he was a rejected member of his family, a person in disgrace!

He couldn’t believe it, Jiang Nantian couldn’t believe it. If this news was true, then the Jiang Family really was in big trouble.

Right then, Jiang Nantian slowly moved forward, reached Secretary Qin’s side and said, "Secretary Qin, could there be some mistake? Tang Zhong was just expelled from the Tang Family; how could he have so much money? Could it be the Governor and others have mistaken someone else for him?"

"What do you mean by that?" Secretary Qin said arrogantly.

Facing Secretary Qin, Jiang Nantian didn’t dare to talk nonsense, as the other party was Minister Chenhui’s man.

"No offense, I meant nothing by it!" Jiang Nantian said with a smile, then quietly stepped back.

And Secretary Qin didn’t bother with Jiang Nantian further but was looking at Tang Zhong, smiling, "Major General... Mr. Tang, there is one more thing. Minister Chenhui has heard of your deed and speaks highly of you. He asked me to relay a message to you!"

Secretary Qin still remembered that night vividly, the other party was a young Major General. He was from the Scholarly Realm, and the other was from the Martial Realm, but it was critical to establish a good rapport!

"I’m all ears!" Tang Zhong said smiling.

The people around them also pricked up their ears.

Minister Chenhui, that was a prominent figure from Xuanguan Sea. Everyone was curious about what he had said!

Secretary Qin looked at Tang Zhong and said, "Minister Chenhui said, ’Mr. Tang, with your conduct surpassing others, you can reach the heavens, becoming the pillar of the nation!’"

What? At this moment, everyone could not keep calm.

That Minister Chenhui had such high praise for Tang Zhong; considering that at Minister Chenhui’s level, young people hardly caught his eye, but now, he was praising Tang Zhong like this.

Meanwhile, both the Governor and the Chief Justice looked at Tang Zhong: "Mr. Tang, we came in haste today and were unaware of your recent move. The next day, we will certainly bring substantial gifts!"

Then they saw, both men bowed deeply to Tang Zhong!

At this moment, all the tycoons didn’t know what to say, their emotions mixed, feeling conflicted.

Especially Fu Daqiang, at this moment, he really wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Before Tang Zhong, he had spoken such harsh words, was that not seeking death?

The others who hadn’t offended Tang Zhong were now thinking of ways to mend their relations with him. With Tang Zhong today, tomorrow he truly might soar like the dragon from the Rising Dragon Painting, unstoppable and beyond reach.

Jiang Nantian’s legs softened, nearly unable to stand anymore. If all of this was true, Tang Zhong was not someone he could contend with at all. To know, the Tang Family had never received such praise from the Minister of Dawn before, but now they had, and the only difference was Tang Zhong.

He remembered what Tang Zhong had said before, "As long as I am here, the Tang Family will be here."

Those words turned out to be true.

With Tang Zhong around, the Tang Family truly existed, and was even stronger than before. All those other members of the Tang Family actually did not compare to Tang Zhong alone.

"Family Head... what should we... what should we do?" A large group of high-ranking members from the Jiang Family started to panic.

All the people were thrown into chaos.

"Use all methods to befriend the Tang Family!" Jiang Nantian said.

"But didn’t we just do that thing?" a high-ranking member of the Jiang Family said.

"But, is there another way?" Jiang Nantian murmured.

He really had no idea anymore.

The current Tang Zhong was like a carp that had transformed into a True Dragon.

And just at that moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tang Zhong finally finished a bottle of white liquor, completely refreshed.

He stopped talking with Secretary Qin and others and walked towards Jiang Nantian.

Seeing Tang Zhong approaching, Jiang Nantian did not know what to say, being neither able to advance nor retreat, only able to say, "Mr. Tang... Tang!"

Now, Jiang Nantian really had no way out.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on them, and things were different from before now.

"Do you admit defeat?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

"I... I admit defeat!" Jiang Nantian gritted his teeth.

"I think you don’t admit defeat!" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"I admit defeat!" Jiang Nantian said, bowing his head.

The current Tang Zhong was no longer someone he could afford to provoke, especially not the "national pillar" as described by the Minister of Dawn, an incredibly high honor!

"This brick, will you buy it for fifty million?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile, holding the brick from before in his hand.

"I... I’ll buy!" Jiang Nantian had clenched his fists.

No matter what he faced today, he must endure.

This time, the Jiang Family really had been planted.

"Here’s the brick, give me the money!" Tang Zhong said.

"Give the money!" Jiang Nantian ordered.

The person behind him, carrying ten suitcases, stepped forward and handed them all over to Tang Zhong.

"Here you go!" Tang Zhong also handed over the brick.

Jiang Nantian, looking at Tang Zhong, would never forget today’s humiliation, vowing to retaliate.

He took the brick with one hand.

"Hold it with both hands!" Tang Zhong commanded.

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Nantian extended both hands, holding the brick as if it were a treasure.

Then Tang Zhong handed over his previous one-dollar bill with a smile, "Here’s your money!"

"What are you doing?" Jiang Nantian frowned.

"Selling you the Jiang Family’s money!" Tang Zhong said.

"Tang Zhong, you’ve gone too far!" Jiang Nantian, angered, gritted his teeth, "Do you really think my Jiang Family is easy to bully? We might as well perish together!"

He was afraid of Tang Zhong’s potential, so he chose to befriend Tang Zhong.

"Perish together, good!" Tang Zhong laughed and, having drunk the wine, his heroism was apparent, "Since you don’t want the money, then there’s no money left!"

Jiang Nantian felt even more that something was wrong, "What... what are you going to do?"

And just at that moment, his phone rang. He reached out to answer it, and just as he responded with a hello, a tragic voice from the phone said, "Family Head... the Jiang Family is done for!"

In an instant, the phone Jiang Nantian was holding in his hand fell onto the ground with a clatter.

The Jiang Family is done for!

(No more for today)
