Chapter 67: Accidental Success
Old Master Tang's eyes widened in surprise, his originally gloomy face suddenly became inexplicably excited, and his hands also trembled with agitation. In the sparkling eyes, shining with a sense of relief, Old Master Tang, who had been calm for half a lifetime, finally burst out with a loud curse: "Damn it! There's actually a connection, and it might even be the real thing!"
Damn it! I didn't expect Tang Yuan to achieve such great merit this time! Who says a blind cat can't catch a dead mouse?! I'll definitely reward him handsomely when I get back! But as soon as he thought of this, the old man's face suddenly turned awkward, and he looked around nervously, uh, Tang Yuan's mother... I couldn't possibly scold her like that. She's my own daughter-in-law after all...
Since the Northern City Gang has reacted in such a way, it must necessarily be related to the theft of the Tang family. Otherwise, how could the insignificant Northern City Gang dare to shoot arrows at the Imperial Marquis and Minister of Revenue's family, which is one of the top families in the entire Tianxiang Kingdom? This is simply eating the heart of a bear and the gallbladder of a leopard, licking the nose of a tiger - a classic case of seeking death and extinction!
Watching one by one the Beicheng Gang members being knocked to the ground and then thrown over, bound hand and foot, Old Master Tang coughed a few times, stood with his hands behind his back, eyes like an eagle, face like still water, whiskers fluttering, unmoving, a picture of benevolence and righteousness.
“Bang!” A member of the Northern City Gang was knocked flying, and before he could even fall to the ground, a rope had already been wrapped around his waist several times. By the time he landed, he had become a giant rice dumpling. A punch came flying at him, and his teeth clattered out of his mouth one by one. Before he could even let out a pained cry, a smelly rag had been stuffed into his mouth. He was then picked up and tossed aside like a cloud floating away on the wind, the entire process unfolding with smooth efficiency. It wasn't until he landed that he realized everyone around him were familiar faces...
"Bang!" Another one!
"Bang!"......
More than 240 masters of the Tang family moved from outside in, advancing slowly and steadily, without a single drop of water leaking out or a single detail being overlooked.
The leader of the Northern City Gang, Qin Hu, was surrounded by three Golden Xuan experts, left and right, all unable to break through, with a desperate look on his face. Not far away, there was another Earth Xuan expert standing with his hands behind his back, looking at him calmly. Unable to charge out, unable to retreat, not even having the opportunity to take his own life, if it weren't for the three aiming to capture Qin Hu alive, he would have already become a ghost. The Northern City Gang leader was almost driven mad!
The surroundings were gradually cleaned up, and one by one, the Tang family's masters came over to surround this place. Some people also rushed into the mansion, unfolding a carpet-like search, almost as meticulous as demolishing a house. Every single place was checked without exception. Even those parts that might or might not have secret passages were dug three feet deep and their soil color examined.
Before long, a shout of excitement came from inside: "Found them!" Old Master Tang's face lit up with joy as he walked forward. Several skilled fighters from the Tang estate emerged, each carrying someone in their arms. They were Qin Hu's son, Qin Xiaobao, and several elegant women. Qin Hu had hidden them in the most secret chamber within the gang, planning to make a desperate last stand himself, hoping that even if he couldn't escape with his life, at least his son might be spared. But unexpectedly, the Tang family's search party was so thorough, the secret chamber was nearly one zhang beneath the ground, and its exit was extremely well-hidden, yet they had still been discovered.
Seeing his son being caught, Qin Hu's mind was filled with despair, and he completely lost the courage to resist. He was already at a disadvantage, if not for fear of him putting up a desperate fight, he would have been captured long ago! At this moment, all his will to fight was gone, and his movements were no longer coordinated, three golden-grade experts stepped forward simultaneously, "slap", "slap" two sounds, Qin Hu fell down like a soft mud, his body's senses were still functioning normally, but the control over his entire body, or the authority to grasp life and death, no longer belonged to him.
Winning a complete victory!
Mr. Tang slowly walked up to Qin Hu, looked at his dejected face with his head down, and waved his hand. The people around him understood the situation and retreated to one side, leaving a large empty space in between.
"What's that thing doing there?" Old Tang's voice was low and menacing, his eyes piercing as he stared at Qin Hu's eyes, his words cutting straight to the point! He wouldn't give Qin Hu a chance to deny it!
This sentence is very easy to give Qin Hu a misconception, that is: I already know, Xuan Dan is the one you stole! I have already grasped absolute evidence! It's up to you whether to cooperate or not. As long as Qin Hu is involved in this matter, and when he suddenly hears such a sentence, and he himself is a prisoner, the possibility of collapse is over 90%!
As expected, Qin Hu's mouth was agape and his eyes revealed utter despair! Tang Lao Yezi, who had been closely watching every move of his, felt a surge of wild joy in his heart, and the weight that had been hanging over him for so long finally lifted.
It's really the right master! Tang Yuan, ah Tang Yuan, this kid has finally done something right, and it's a big deal too! He's made progress! Wait a minute, it seems like this matter was actually brought up by that young master Jun Mo Xie from your household. Suddenly, Old Master Tang felt a sense of nostalgia: It looks like when the young masters gather together, it's not all bad after all. At least at critical moments, they can still be useful. Just like how people used to call me a young master back in the day...
Coughing, he realized he had strayed far from his thoughts. Old Master Tang suddenly came back to himself and had already secretly decided that no matter whether the Xuan Dan was found or not, the Tang family owed Jun Mo Xie a great favor this time! It seems that in the future, they will have to get closer to the Jun family...
"I...I don't know anything about the mysterious pill, Elder Tang...why are you suddenly treating us like this?" Qin Hu replied nervously, his eyes darting back and forth, still holding onto a glimmer of denial, hoping to luck out.
"You little brat really doesn't know how to talk big, did I say that thing was a magic pill?! Haha... it's okay if you don't know, you'll find out soon." Old Master Tang smiled benevolently, and with a wave of his hand, a skilled fighter from the Tang Manor brought over Qin Xiaobao, who looked like a lump of rotten mud, and threw him to the ground with a thud before turning around and leaving.
"Qin Hu, I heard this is your only son. No matter what happens to the North City Gang, as long as you tell me what you know, I'll guarantee your son's safety and protect the last remaining ember of the Qin family from harm." Old Master Tang Wanli smiled warmly, his attitude extremely kind and gentle. "Of course, if you still can't remember no matter how hard you try, I believe you'll soon see what will happen to your son. It's just that in that case, none of us will be very happy, do you understand my meaning?"
"Dad, save me..." Qin Xiaobao cried out in a tragic voice. For this typical second-generation rich kid, this year was simply his disaster year. He had barely seen a beautiful woman on the street and hadn't even spoken two sentences when he was caught and had his dantian broken, ruining his xuanqi; after finally recovering and being able to move freely again, he went to a wine shop and got hit in the face with a bunch of snot, scolded for two sentences before getting beaten up and having his leg broken; just as he was crying out for his dad and mom after returning home to recover from his injuries, this kind of thing happened again - he was picked up by the leg and slammed to the ground, feeling scared, panicked, and in pain. Qin Xiaobao was already on the verge of collapse...
Mr. Tang slowly stretched out his hand, and his dry palm gently stroked Qin Xiaobao's neck, just like comforting a frightened little dog. However, no one would suspect that if Qin Hu's answer made Mr. Tang slightly dissatisfied, this dry big hand would immediately turn into the warrant of Yan Wang chasing his soul!
Qin Hu let out a deep sigh, hung his head and said: "You win." Tang Lao Ye Zi smiled complacently and said: "Qin Hu, indeed worthy of being the leader of a gang, knowing how to assess the situation, not bad!"
A sharp sarcasm reached his ears, Qin Hu's face turned bright red with shame, this extreme humiliation made his complexion look extremely ugly, he stuttered a few times before saying: "I suppose Old Master Hou also understands that in this matter, I, Qin, was probably also instructed by someone else. Otherwise, even if I had the audacity, how could I dare to steal from the Tang's residence? Isn't that seeking death? Even if I had the intention, I didn't have the capability. However, as they say 'a knife at our throat', we... indeed have no choice."
"Go on." Old Tang's eyes sparkled.
