The whole family’s lives！？
When Tang Mingde, Tang Xiaorou, and Tang Feng heard Fang Yu’s words, their faces changed.
“Master Fang, I still don’t quite understand what you mean.” Tang Mingde said with a serious expression and frowned.
“That man… his name was Longquan, wasn’t it? He was a talisman master. Before he left, he left a deadly talisman in your house. If it’s not found, the talisman will fall within two hours and take your lives.” Fang Yu said.
“Death Note…”
The name of this spell sounds full of bloodshed.
Tang Mingde would naturally not doubt Fang Yu’s words, his face turning ashen.
He never expected to invite a malevolent, life-taking spirit back into his home.
Tang Feng and Tang Xiaorou looked at each other, their eyes wide with shock.
Especially Tang Xiaorou, who was so frightened that her face turned pale.
“I told you, this person doesn’t look like a good guy! Who wears sunglasses indoors?” Tang Xiaorou patted her chest and said.
Tang Mingde looked at Fang Yu, his heart filled with lingering fear and said: “Doctor Fang, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you coming to our house just in time, we probably…”
Tang Mingde didn’t dare to think any further.
It’s terrifying.
“You should still think about it, have you offended anyone recently? Or is there something on you that someone has their eyes on?” Fang Yu said.
Back inside, Fang Yu continued to eat voraciously, while the three members of the Tang family had little appetite.
After such a terrifying thing happened, they were all a little on edge.
“Dad, have you thought about it? About that Longquan, did you offend him?” After a few minutes of silence, Tang Xiaorou couldn’t help but ask.
Tang Mingde frowned and shook his head, saying: “I met him by pure chance in a random place at a random time and just happened to chat. How could I possibly offend him?”
“If he hadn’t meant to do us harm, why would he try to kill our entire family in such a vicious way? Dad, think about it carefully.” Tang Feng said.
Tang Mingde rubbed his temples, racking his brain.
While Fang Yu was leisurely dealing with the dishes on the table.
Tang Xiaorou propped her chin with both hands, her small face scrunched up into a ball as she stared straight at Fang Yu.
“If you want to eat, just eat. What are you looking at me for?” Fang Yu raised his eyes and asked.
“Fang Yu, can you help me think about it, why did that Longquan do this?” Tang Xiaorou asked.
Tang Mingde and Tang Feng both looked at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu took a sip of soup, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said: “If you really can’t figure out the reason, then don’t think about it. For some people, killing doesn’t need a reason.”
Tang Xiaorou slumped her face on the table, deflated. “It’s like you didn’t even say anything,” she mumbled.
“Master Tang, under what circumstances did you meet this Dragon Spring?” Fang Yu asked, looking at Tang Mingde.
“At a gathering of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce,” Tang Mingde replied.
“What was the purpose of that gathering?” Fang Yu asked.
“The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce holds a regular meeting every month, without any particular purpose,” Tang Mingde said.
“During this time, will there be anything important happening with your Jiangnan Merchant Guild?” Fang Yu asked again.
“Important matters… By the way, at the end of the month our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will be holding negotiations with the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce about dividing some trade profits…” Tang Mingde was speaking when it seemed he realized something, his face changing slightly.
“You should have a title in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, right?” Fang Yu asked.
“I, I am the vice president,” Tang Mingde said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
“Have you gotten any leads?” Fang Yu picked up his bowl of soup and took another sip.
Tang Xiaorou and Tang Feng looked at Tang Mingde, with puzzled expressions.
“Could it be that this Longquan is an assassin sent by the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce?” Tang Mingde’s face turned pale with shock, he said.
Fang Yu didn’t speak.
“At that meeting, Longquan, as a newly rich businessman, made connections with many members of the Chamber of Commerce…” Tang Mingde was speaking when his phone on the back bar buzzed.
Tang Mingde got up and walked to the liquor cabinet, picked up his phone, and made a call.
After hearing what was said on the phone, the color drained from his face at an alarming rate, leaving him as pale as a sheet.
“I, I got it.” Tang Mingde hung up the phone and sat back in his seat, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Tang Feng asked nervously, seeing Tang Mingde’s expression.
“The head of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Dong and his family of eight, along with six servants and four security guards, died in the villa…” Tang Mingde murmured.
“What!?” Tang Feng’s face changed drastically.
In order to broaden Tang Feng’s horizons and prepare him to take over the family business in the future, Tang Mingde took Tang Feng to attend more than one meeting of the Jiangnan Merchants Association.
In Tang Feng’s impression, Mr. Dong, who was wealthy and highly esteemed, was a very kind and approachable person.
Can such a tragedy befall us now?
“Dad, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?” Tang Feng pursued.
Tang Mingde shook his head blankly and said, “Their whole family died last evening. It wasn’t until this morning that his bodyguard went to his house to pick him up for work that they found their bodies…”
<<>>
Tang Xiaorou, standing beside him, was also rendered speechless with fright by the news.
Tang Mingde slumped in his seat and said, “Just now Longquan told me that he went to see Boss Dong yesterday…”
“Actually, this person wearing sunglasses indoors is not quite right. With so many people in your Chamber of Commerce, didn’t anyone ever suspect him?” Fang Yu said.
“He explained why he wore sunglasses, saying his eyes were injured. And our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce meetings have certain requirements, his identity needs to be verified before he can attend. Who would have thought…” Tang Mingde was still in shock, muttering.
Things are clear now.
That man called Longquan is a killer.
He infiltrated the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, made friends with the high-ranking officials within it, and then killed them.
As for the forces behind his actions, it’s most likely connected to the Huaibei Merchant Association.
Because the negotiations at the end of the month are of great importance.
Although negotiations haven’t started yet, the development momentum of Jiangnan businesses in recent years has been much stronger than that of Huaibei businesses. This is in stark contrast to the development of the martial arts circles on both sides.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will have the upper hand in this round of negotiations.
This might be the reason why the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce sent assassins.
Fang Yu had just finished his soup when he received a call from Ye Shengxue.
Mr. Fang, Xiaohong fainted! Ye Shengxue’s panicked voice came from the phone.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and said, “I’ll go back now. You take care of her first.”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yu stood up and said to the Tang Mingde family who were still in shock: “I have something urgent to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Tang Mingde nodded and said gratefully, “Mr. Fang, thank you for saving our family’s lives tonight.”
“You had better arrange for more security,” Fang Yu said before walking out of the Tang family’s gate.
……
“This is outrageous! These animals! Just business competition, and they’ve gone this far!” Tang Mingde said angrily after making several phone calls.
He gets along very well with Mr. Dong in private. When Tangshi Group encountered difficulties, Mr. Dong also extended a helping hand, so he can be considered half an benefactor.
Now, Mr. Dong’s entire family has been murdered, and he himself has received death threats.
All of this, it turns out, was just because of a business negotiation meeting!
All major chambers of commerce have long-standing regulations prohibiting the use of any private means to resolve issues!
But the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce, apparently, did not abide by the rules, even going beyond them to a rather excessive degree!
“Dad, today is the 26th. The negotiations will be starting in a few days… Are you still going to participate?” Tang Feng asked hesitantly.
Given the current level of danger, it would be best not to participate in the negotiations.
Otherwise, who knows what those maniacs would do.
“You have to attend! Why wouldn’t you attend!?” Tang Mingde roared, “They’re going to wipe out Mr. Dong’s family, and they want to harm our entire family too. Isn’t it all just to scare the other members of the Chamber of Commerce into willingly applying to cancel the negotiation meeting?! We absolutely can’t let them get their way!”
“But if you insist on participating, they’ll definitely make a move again…” Tang Feng said with a pale face.
“I don’t believe that the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce can act above the law!” Tang Mingde said firmly.
