Chapter 2130 - 2103: Tang Kongming’s Phone Call
However, although Tang Fengyun agreed with Tang Fengxing’s approach in his heart, he couldn’t shake the feeling of unease, as if something bad was about to happen, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
At this time, Tang Fengxing looked at Tang Wenhu and spoke again: "Fengyun, if there’s nothing else, you should head back! It’s getting late, and you should get some rest."
Hearing Tang Fengxing’s words, Tang Fengyun opened his mouth, ultimately choosing not to say anything, simply nodding slightly, and without further words, he stood up from the sofa and walked outside.
After Tang Fengyun left, Tang Fengxing sat on the sofa without moving, like a statue.
It was at this moment that the phone placed beside Tang Fengxing vibrated again, with the melodious ringtone echoing.
Tang Fengxing picked up the phone, and seeing the caller ID, he hurriedly extinguished his cigarette and immediately answered the call.
Before Tang Fengxing could speak, a cold and extremely hoarse voice came from the receiver: "I’ve arrived in Beijing."
"Uncle..."
After hearing the voice on the phone, Tang Fengxing immediately wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he was interrupted, saying: "Don’t call me uncle, I’m no longer part of the Tang Family. This time I’m helping you because I owe your father a life debt, I’m just repaying it. Otherwise, the life or death of the Tang Family has nothing to do with me. After dealing with the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, and escorting Tang Qingyun back to the Tang Family, I will sever all ties with the Tang Family. From now on, everything about the Tang Family has nothing to do with me."
Hearing the unkind words from the other end, Tang Fengxing’s expression didn’t change, but he spoke with deep emotion: "Uncle, it’s been over fifty years, don’t you want to return to the Tang Household to have a look? To see the changes in the Tang Family over these fifty years? My father has always hoped you’d come back to the Tang Family."
"Return to the Tang Family?"
The voice on the phone carried a hint of sarcasm and disdain: "Tang Fengxing, do you think the Tang Family can accommodate me? Besides, would you forgive me? Your mother committed suicide, but ultimately, it was because of me. Don’t you hate me in your heart?"
Hearing this, a cold hatred flashed across Tang Fengxing’s face. How could he not hate Tang Kongming? If it hadn’t been for Tang Kongming, his mother wouldn’t have chosen to commit suicide. Her death was entirely because of Tang Kongming. If it weren’t for Tang Kongming’s abuse, his mother wouldn’t have felt guilty enough to take her own life.
Though thinking this, Tang Fengxing’s face showed nothing, his tone becoming even more genuine: "Uncle, I know what you’re trying to say, but the events of the past weren’t entirely your fault. If you hadn’t been out of your mind, such things wouldn’t have happened. So I never really hated you. I sincerely hope you’ll return to the Tang Family, to see my father. Over these years, he’s longed to see you. Before closing himself off in seclusion, he even told me that if you changed your mind and returned, he’d come out to meet you."
Every word Tang Fengxing said was filled with genuine emotion, and his expression was very natural, without any pretense. Anyone not in the know would surely believe that Tang Fengxing held no hatred for Tang Kongming and truly wanted him back in the Tang Household.
Unfortunately, Tang Fengxing’s expression fooled the wrong person. He was dealing with Tang Kongming, the most brilliant prodigy of the Tang Family fifty years ago.
After hearing Tang Fengxing’s words, Tang Kongming’s tone carried a slight mocking tone: "Tang Fengxing, stop acting in front of me. Do you think there’s familial affection in the Tang Family? You want me back because my strength can benefit you, right? If I were just a useless person, would you hope for my return? You’d probably want to kill me on the spot! So spare me that act. Once I kill Lu Tianxing and return your son to the Tang Family, all ties between us will be severed. From then on, I’ll follow my path, and you follow yours, no intersections.
With these words, Tang Kongming didn’t give Tang Fengxing a chance to speak again and hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the busy tone on the other end, Tang Fengxing’s face turned extremely grim, almost dripping, as he viciously smashed the phone on the ground with a face full of rage and murderous intent: "Tang Kongming, do you really think I can’t deal with you? Once you send Qingyun back to the Tang Family, it’ll be your death day. My Tang Family does not need an uncontrollable powerhouse, even if you were once its genius."
...
That night, the wind rose, dark clouds gathered, and killing intent surged.
The night in Xiangjiang was already extremely bustling, brilliantly illuminated, a land of temptation for ordinary people, and a world of decadence for the wealthy.
In a villa somewhere in Xiangjiang.
Huang Feiyu couldn’t understand why, but tonight he just couldn’t calm down, feeling restless and agitated.
Unsettled, he paced back and forth in the villa, his face filled with anxiety.
"I say, Huang Feiyu, can you just sit quietly on the sofa instead of pacing back and forth in front of me? Do you know you’re very annoying doing that?"
Xue Bing sat on the sofa, looking at Huang Feiyu with exasperation. Since receiving Huang Feiyu’s call, she had come to his villa to see what he wanted from her.
But after she arrived, Huang Feiyu said nothing, just pacing back and forth in front of her, making her feel annoyed.
"Huang Feiyu, you should be grateful that I’ve mellowed quite a bit; otherwise, I’d punch you in the head to show you the price of pacing in front of me." Xue Bing continued, indignantly.
Upon hearing Xue Bing’s words, Huang Feiyu stopped, looking at her apologetically and saying: "Miss Xue, I’m sorry, I don’t know why, but tonight I keep feeling uneasy, as if something is about to happen, so..."
At this point, Huang Feiyu didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear. His unease stemmed from this force within Xiangjiang, the only force that could unsettle him, and it seemed that tonight this force would act.
