Chapter 465: At Worst, We’ll Die Together!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was clearly a kind reminder, but to Tang Wenyi and the Old Master, it was very ear-piercing. What did he mean by training Ah Ze’s character afresh? What did he mean by saying that he’s better than Ah Ze no matter what? Is my son that unbearable? Or could it be that this person can’t wait for Ah Ze to die?! Her anger couldn’t help but surge, and she couldn’t calm down even after taking a few deep breaths!

She even suspected that this deputy warden had a grudge against the Tang family! Otherwise, how could he say such things? Her frown deepened, and her chest heaved up and down. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was going to flip the table in the next second! Fortunately, the old man patted her shoulder in time and said indifferently, “Don’t forget what I told you before you came in.”

A basin of cold water fell from the sky, and her face instantly turned as pale as wallpaper! If she caused the Old Master’s plan to fail, she would be expelled from the family! At that time, not to mention obtaining the position of the family head, it would be even more difficult to get Ah Ze out! She knew very well that she was only left with the Tang family to rely on!

Thinking of this, her lips trembled slightly. Then she kept quiet and stared at the person opposite her as if she wanted to poke a hole through him!

The old master said calmly, “At the end of the day, you just don’t want to help, right?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but the situation doesn’t allow it. I can’t do this. If I die so easily, won’t you also suffer a heavy loss, Brother Tang? I’m thinking about our future. Moreover, there’s a group of people keeping an eye on Young Master Lu. I’m sure that as soon as he walks out of prison, others will know about this!”

Xing Boke pretended to be helpless and said, “The door of my office has been broken through recently. Many people who wanted to get in through the back door have been rejected by me. I can’t even get an extra blanket. After all, if my subordinates catch an infectious disease because of someone, I’ll be in big trouble!”

The old master’s hand that was playing with the bead paused. His eyes were half-closed as he said, “Since when did my Tang family fall to the level of others? I don’t care if others are dead or alive. I’m not ordering you to release all the prisoners. I only have one request. Release my grandson!”

He paused for a moment and continued, “I know that you don’t need me as a partner anymore, and I can only give you one thing left. 60 million! Let go of Ah Ze immediately. Otherwise, when I have time to deal with you, I won’t let you off easily even if I have to use all my family’s strength!”

Xing Boke, who was originally relaxed, immediately felt the pressure of the Tang family. As expected of someone who had been in charge of the Tang family for so many years. This aura was not something an ordinary person could withstand! But who was he? He had already climbed to this position. If he was still afraid of an old master who was about to die, wouldn’t he be a joke?!

If he dared to act rashly, those people would understand in the shortest time that he had still lowered his head in front of the Tang family! He did not want to become the laughing stock of his colleagues! Hence, he forced himself to say, “Patriarch Tang’s generosity has left me dumbfounded. But I’m sorry, rules are rules. Even if the warden comes today, he can’t take anyone away from here!”

This time, he didn’t even call him Old Brother Tang. He directly changed his address to the head of the family and tried to make the two people opposite him understand his determination.

The old man didn’t curse as he had expected. Instead, he sneered and said, “Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, I can only use my last resort. In recent years, my Tang family has secretly helped you settle those dirty matters. In addition to the money I gave you, I’ve recorded it all in the account book. If you don’t help, we’ll fight to the death!”

The account book!?

Xing Boke’s pupils constricted. He knew that the other party wasn’t so easy to deal with! What else could he do? He couldn’t refuse, or everything would be over today! In the end, he had no choice but to get his people to put on protective suits and move the seriously ill Lu Ze out.

Just as the group was about to head to the hospital, the sudden ringing of the phone interrupted their plan. The old master frowned slightly. After pressing the answer button, he asked, “What’s the matter? Didn’t I say that No. 5 will take over the family matters for the time being? Tell her if there’s anything!”

Just as he was about to hang up, a flustered voice came from the other end. “Master, Lu Ming is determined not to give in. He even said that I’m just a messenger and have no right to make decisions for you. He was so arrogant that he even said that the Tang family is nothing! He, he asked me to tell you that unless you go, no one will give you the medicine!”

Tang Wenyi was looking at her son, who was breathing weakly, and did not notice her father’s abnormality for a moment. It was not until the latter took the initiative to speak that she focused her attention on the old master. She looked up in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“… Lu Ming asked me to see him personally. You accompany Ah Ze to the hospital first! I’ll be there soon!”

The old man gritted his teeth. He knew that Lu Ming would definitely not hand over the medicine obediently. Now, he actually had to make a trip personally! How shameless! Did he really think that Lu Ming Corporation had a bright future and that he could do whatever he wanted without the support of the Tang family? He wanted to see what this kid could do!

…

On the other side, it had been a while since the person sent by the Tang family left. Chu Jinyu sat on the sofa by the window and poked her head out from time to time. Seeing that it was getting late, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Could that guy have slipped away secretly because he was afraid of us? So much so that the Tang family still doesn’t know what happened.”

“No, I think they’re still on the way. With the Tang family’s personality, it’s already kind of him not to add fuel to the fire. Besides, the prison is an official organization. If they want Lu Ze to receive better treatment, they have to arrange for a hospital. It’s not easy to break through, but if it’s Tang Boyan, he will definitely have a way to do it.”

That old fox must have something on many people. A casual threat could make those people ‘willing’ to do anything. His lips curled up. The last time they met was more than half a year ago, right? He hoped that he wouldn’t be so angry this time!

Chu Jinyu also understood what he meant and couldn’t help but sigh. “No wonder so many people failed to overthrow the Tang family. But I believe that Brother Lu Ming can definitely do it!”

Well, the Tang family had suffered so many setbacks at his hands. If they wanted to get the medicine this time, they would probably have to pay a heavy price first!
