Chapter 908: Chapter 545: Mr. Tang Shakes the Scene, The Conspiracy of Sowing Discord (Part 2)
Once these words were said, the entire room fell silent.
He retorted...
He retorted against Lord Huo!
Beijing is not like Pingjiang, not many people know Tang Yunxian, and even fewer understand him. No one expected that someone so scholarly would speak so assertively.
"This Mr. Tang is really something, directly retorting against Lord Huo?"
"Not giving any face at all. Lord Huoâs face really looks bad right now."
"Donât you think thereâs more to what Mr. Tang said? The Huo Family truly shouldnât get involved in this matter. Heâs trying to distance the Huo Family from it. One must admit, the old ginger is spicier."
...
"Brother-in-law, you..." Shen Shuci seemed quite displeased with his tone as well.
"Youâre the elder here, and at a time like this, youâre joining her nonsense? The police will give us an explanation for this matter. Are you all trying to take the policeâs job, or do you have some special ability to recognize the culprit at a glance?"
"Dad, actually it was her who..." Tang Wan was cut off by a glare from Tang Yunxian before she could finish.
"You shut your mouth too. Sheâs your elder, but younger in age than you. Whatâs wrong with showing some patience?"
"You all wish for it to become known to everyone, stirring things up to the police station. Thatâs what you want, isnât it?"
"All of you go back now. The hospital doesnât need you overseeing things there! Itâs already so late, and youâre still kicking up a fuss at the police station. Just how much more trouble do you plan to cause?"
...
Tang Yunxianâs voice remained calm and collected, like a cool breeze blowing through the heat of summer.
Instantly calming everyone down.
Tang Wan and Shen Shuci seemed like they wanted to say more, but under Tang Yunxianâs gaze, they didnât dare speak up.
Under his watch, the two apologized to the police, acknowledging they had caused too much trouble, and then prepared to leave one after the other.
"Dad, Iâll have someone take you to the hospital." Jiang Jinsang made a point to speak with Tang Yunxian before leaving.
"I can go on my own. You take good care of Wanwan, and donât go out in public for now." Tang Yunxian was having a severe headache. These two kids were never so impulsive; they grew up together and never fought. What made this time so heated?
"Iâll have Jiang Jiu accompany you. You can call on him if you need anything."
Tang Yunxian nodded, not refusing, and turned to warn Huo Qinqi again not to meddle in their familyâs affairs.
Everyone thought the dispute between the two would be unresolvable. But surprisingly, once Tang Yunxian arrived, he immediately defused the crisis. However, this matter still sent two signals to the outside world:
One, Mr. Shenâs condition is indeed very grim;
Two, the relationship between Tang Wan and Shen Shuci has dramatically deteriorated.

Early the next day, new information arrived...
Reportedly, Mr. Shen underwent another surgery that night. The situation is dire; word is the doctors have already informed the family that brain death might occur, and they should be prepared.
You Shenming completely swallowed his worries and secretly arranged a meeting with Xiang Xiaoyuan.
"Who wouldâve thought your plan would be so effective? Whatâs your big grudge against them to go to such lengths?" You Shenming was curious.
"I canât stand their holier-than-thou attitude."
"Neither can I! Theyâre just flaunting more power than our family. In front of my auntâs family, theyâre nothing at all."
"Your auntâs family?" Xiang Xiaoyuan, originally from outside the area, had no means or ability to enter the Beijing circle, let alone reach the upper tiers. Her understanding of the Beijing circle remained superficial.
"In this Beijing, some families are exceptional, like the Hexi Huo Family, the Chuanbei Family, and Lingnan. My auntâs family is even more..."
You Shenming loved to boast, constantly chatting with the idea heâd be off the hook given Shen Laoâs possible brain death, feeling in a good mood, told her the general landscape of Beijing.
Xiang Xiaoyuan listened intently, amazed at how the Beijing circle was truly a place of hidden talents.
"...In front of my auntâs family, whatâs Jiang Chengsi, Huo Ran, theyâre nothing, and my aunt dotes on me greatly."
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought initially, no matter how much she dotes on you, to them, youâre always just an outsider. But his next words caught her attention.
"His family has no son, just my cousin sister, an only child. They even talked about finding someone for a matrilocal marriage. How can someone recruited into their family be more connected than me, their nephew?"
"Shen Shuci is just boasting with the Huo Family backing her!" You Shenming touched his neck, where it had been pierced before, still faintly throbbing, "Wait till my aunt comes back, Iâll make her pay."
