Chapter 640: Chapter 640: I Am Willing to Offer Half of My Family Fortune

"AHHH! Someone’s been killed!"

Yu Dong and the girl screamed in terror at the same time.

Zhang Yuan’s expression changed. He yanked the dagger out. With a sickening SQUELCH, blood spurted from Tang Jun’s wound!

Pale with fright, Zhang Yuan hid the dagger in his clothes and fled as if he had wings.

Yu Dong quickly rushed over to administer first aid to Tang Jun.

In an instant, the entire club descended into chaos.

The girl timidly approached him. "Brother Dong, since the boss is injured, I’m going to head back. I’ll return when he’s recovered, or when there’s a new boss."

Yu Dong’s voice rose an octave. "Go? Where the hell do you think you’re going? This is all your fault! I lost a million, and now I’m in deep shit! Where are you going to run? You’re going to stay here and earn back double what I lost! Men, take Xiangxiang away!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

The Tang Family Estate.

Tang Sihai paced back and forth, waiting for news.

The Tang Sihai of today was a far cry from the poor boy who used to haul bricks for a living.

After building his vast financial empire, Tang Sihai had put quite a few intelligence operatives on his payroll.

These operatives gathered all sorts of information for him.

And now, Tang Sihai had dispatched every single one of his operatives to investigate Cheng Yuan’s background.

"Master, we’ve finished gathering the intelligence on Cheng Yuan. Please review it."

A masked young man dressed in black stealth gear entered the study and respectfully handed a file folder to Tang Sihai.

Tang Sihai hurriedly flipped it open.

Successor to the Hu and Zhu Families?

Cheng "Observation Examination"?

Young Marshal Dragon Flame?

The master of the Xuanyuan War God?

The more Tang Sihai read, the more shocked he became.

If his intelligence operatives had been just a bit more capable and discovered that Cheng Yuan was the Old Dragon King’s disciple, Tang Sihai’s eyes would have probably popped out of his head.

Tang Sihai’s brow furrowed deeply.

’A man who has reached the pinnacle of both medicine and the Martial Dao should also have profound attainments in Mystical Techniques, right?’

’The only thing is, the number of children Cheng Yuan mentioned doesn’t add up.’

This left Tang Sihai deeply conflicted.

’Should I contact Cheng Yuan or not?’

Just as Tang Sihai was wrestling with his indecision, his phone rang. The caller ID showed Tang Jun.

Tang Sihai’s expression softened. "Jun, you’ve worked hard today. I’ve seen it. Don’t you worry, I’ll prepare the best Cultivation resources for you."

To Tang Sihai’s surprise, a stranger’s voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mr. Tang, something’s happened to Young Master Tang!"

BZZT!!

Tang Sihai felt his mind go blank, as if deprived of oxygen. He collapsed into his chair and it took him several seconds to come to his senses.

"Who are you? Why do you have Tang Jun’s phone? Let me speak to Tang Jun!"

"Mr. Tang, I’m afraid the Young Master can’t speak with you right now. He’s been seriously injured and is in critical condition. He’s been rushed to Qingcheng First People’s Hospital!"

Tang Sihai let out a furious roar.

"Who the hell are you? What happened to Tang Jun?"

BEEP... BEEP...

The line went dead. Li Dong didn’t want to get involved.

Tang Sihai was about to lose his mind. ’Wasn’t Tang Jun at home? How could he be injured? How could his life be in danger?’

Tang Sihai struggled to suppress his rage and dialed his assistant, Xiaoxue. "Xiaoxue, where is Tang Jun? Wasn’t he at home?"

Xiaoxue’s voice was clearly panicked. "Chairman, the Young Master left half an hour ago. He threatened us not to report it to you."

Tang Sihai exploded. "If anything happens to Jun, all of you will pay with your lives! Get the car ready!"

"Yes, sir!"

In the car on the way to the hospital, Tang Sihai waged an internal war with himself. In the end, he called Shen Man.

’Regardless of his skill in Mystical Techniques, Cheng Yuan’s medical abilities are revered by the entire Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community! He earned the title of Cheng Wangzhen!’

’With Cheng Yuan, at least Jun has a chance of survival.’

...

Meanwhile, Cheng Yuan had successfully taken over two five-star hotels and was now in the general manager’s office of the Shangri-La Hotel, reviewing the accounts.

BEEP... BEEP...

Shen Man’s phone rang. She pulled it out, and a strange smile crept across her face as she looked at the screen.

"Brother, Uncle Tang is even more impatient than you predicted. He’s calling us already. Should I answer?"

"Answer it. Put it on speaker."

"You got it."

Shen Man put the call on speaker. "Uncle Tang, what can I do for you?"

"Manman, is Cheng Dongshan with you? Can you help me get in touch with him?"

The corners of Shen Man’s lips curled up slightly. "What’s this? Has Uncle Tang had a change of heart?"

Tang Sihai answered honestly, "Tang Jun is gravely injured and on the verge of death. I want to ask Cheng Dongshan to save him."

Gravely injured?

On the verge of death?

Cheng Yuan, startled, interjected, "That’s strange. According to my reading of his face, his bloody calamity wasn’t supposed to happen until tomorrow. Why has it come early?"

"I don’t know anything about that. Cheng Dongshan, can I ask you to save Tang Jun? I can give you a hundred million for your fee."

Cheng Yuan said coolly, "Tang Sihai, I can’t agree to that. Even if I were to save Tang Jun now, he would still end up a corpse by tomorrow, or the day after at the latest. Not unless I completely resolve the curse on your descendants for you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Sihai hesitated, then voiced his concerns.

"Cheng Dongshan, you are the renowned Cheng Wangzhen of the Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community, and I believe in your medical skills. However, your expertise in Mystical Techniques is debatable. I have only six sons and seven daughters, yet you claim I have seven sons and nine daughters."

Cheng Yuan raised an eyebrow. "So that’s what this is about? Mr. Tang, do me a favor and ask your lovers in the Northwest and the Southeast if they’ve ever had an abortion. Or a stillbirth."

"Huh?"

Tang Sihai was stunned. ’How could Cheng Yuan possibly know about his fleeting affairs in the Northwest and the Southeast?’

"I’ll ask."

Tang Sihai hung up and dialed one of his mistresses. The call was answered instantly, and a somewhat complaining voice came through.

"Old Tang, you heartless bastard! You finally remembered to call me? I thought you’d abandoned me for good! WAHHH..."

"Rongrong, tell me the truth. After we got together, have you ever had an abortion?"

She immediately denied it. "No, absolutely not!"

"Rongrong, if you have, you must tell me the truth. You can bring the receipts and come collect a ’recuperation fee.’ One million per procedure."

Her tone changed in an instant.

"Yes! I’ve had two! I kept the receipts!"

"Why did you get them? You didn’t want to have my child?"

"They were just a couple of girls! What good would they have been? I have to try and give you a son while I’m still young. That’s the only way for a mother to secure her status!"

"I see..."

Tang Sihai hung up, his expression a mixture of complex emotions. ’So he really did have nine daughters! Cheng Yuan even accounted for the abortions! The man is practically a god!’

’As for his other mistress, there was no longer any need to ask.’

’She must have had the stillbirth. And it must have been a boy!’

Tang Sihai dialed Shen Man’s number again. The call connected, and Cheng Yuan’s relaxed voice came through. "Well? Did you finish your verification?"

"I’m convinced! I am truly and utterly convinced! Cheng Dongshan! I’m begging you, please help me solve this curse on my descendants! I’m willing to hand over half of my family’s fortune!"
