Lin Yueling grabbed her husband, Jiang Yi's arm tightly, sobbing emotionally. Jiang Yi was overwhelmed as well. They couldn't comprehend how their son had become Mr. Jiang. It was too inconceivable as well as thrilling for them.
He had appeared with such a swag to the Tang family, at their foe's home which had left them on the roads in dire straits a long time ago, and used a similar, no, even more, overbearing method to take vengeance for them.
Their son had really grown up.
Jiang Yi didn't know what happened to his son or how he had become Mr. Jiang, but no matter the reason, he was his, Jiang Yi's son.
"Jiang Xiu is Mr. Jiang?"
Cheng Hanlin and Sun Xiaohong felt as if the heavens were playing a huge joke on them. Especially Sun Xiaohong, she was at a complete loss. The future son-in-law of hers whom she considered as nothing more than a bug, wishing she could dump him in the gutters, turned out to be the unreachable Mr. Jiang who all the elite of Jiang City wanted to associate with. She too had fantasized about running into him coincidently, but she never expected that he was always beside her.
This was truly ironical!
"Tang Zhengping, 12 years ago, you plotted to frame my father and sent him to prison, destroyed his life as well as my youth and childhood. Today, I've come to take revenge."
Tang Zhengping pointed towards Jiang Xiu as if he were a demon, "Y-Y-You…"
"Anyone who offends this Jiang Luoxia hasn't ended up well. Your son was merely the appetizer. I guarantee you'll end up 10 times more miserable than your son."
His tone was dull, but no one doubted his determination.
Everyone had heard about Mr. Jiang's methods. Some of them present here had experienced it personally. He was ruthless and will make you regret being born into this world.
"You think you can bring me down just because they call you Mr. Jiang? Keep dreaming. My Tang family has lorded over Jiangnan for decades, but none had ever been able to do anything to us."
He was saying this for Jiang Xiu to hear as well as for Secretary Gu.
Secretary Gu handed over a file of documents to Jiang Xiu at this moment, "Mr. Jiang, it's nothing complicated at all. This is the evidence of Tang Zhengping's crimes over the past few years. It's horrible, maybe even a hundred times worse than what your father had done back then."
Nowadays, officials couldn't be investigated as each investigation would bring something or the else to light.
Tang Zhengping's face kept going paler till it lost all traces of color. "You're framing me…"
Jiang Xiu held the file, "Tang Zhengping, do you want me to read it?"
"1999, You transferred a cement factory at a price 10 times lower than the market rate to your wife's younger brother…"
"2001, you cooperated with the Tranquil Conglomerate of Hong Kong and exploited a harbor project's water seepage to make an illegal profit of 100 million."
"2002, as the Ninghai Airport struggled…"
Tang Zhengping snatched over the file and went through the documents, fear filling his eyes as he did so. His entire life will end if even a single one of these things gets out, "You…"
He tore them all up like a madman.
"Tang Zhengping, all these things are enough to make you spend the rest of your life in prison. But there's no need to worry as I won't let you off just with that. I'll make sure that your life in prison is richly colorful."
"Housekeeper, c-call the Tang family." Tang Zhengping ordered the housekeeper.
All his hope was on the Tang family now.
"I have the Tang family behind me…"
"Jiang Yi, Jiang Xiu, I won't fall so easily. You'll have to deal with my Tang family before you can do anything to me."
The others began to discuss this as well.
"Tang family isn't that easy to handle."
"It looks like Jiagnan's going to experience a significant change."
There was no doubt that the confrontation between these two superpowers would be very awful, but since they had all selected to stand at Jiang Xiu's side, they wished for him to win.
"Your family is one of the four prominent families of Jiangnan due to dabbling in officialdom and commerce. But do you know why all the rich people in this world hire a huge amount of bodyguards?"
Tang Zhengping called the Tang family through his phone, but there was no response from the other side. When the call connected finally, all that came through from the other end were screams full of fear.
Right now, a tragical bloodbath was occurring at the Tang family's residence.
"Father!"
"Second Uncle!"
Blood sprayed on top the mural which was worth millions, as well as the windows and the doorsteps. The flowerbed in the courtyard, as well as the rock garden, were full of dead corpses. It was a truly ghastly sight to behold.
Countless shadows flitted past the Tang family's residence and killed every person they encountered!
They checked the list they had and the no. of people.
If someone could recognize the exotic flower insignia embroidered on their left vest, they would realize that these murderers had come from Bodhi Gene which had disappeared a hundred years ago.
The cell phone fell to the ground with only Tang Zhengping's flustered voice repeating through it, "Father, Father…" He had vaguely guessed what was happening at the Tang family right now.
A person picked up the phone then said, "Is this Secretary Tang? I'll have to trouble you to pass on to Mr. Jiang that the entire 36 members of the Tang family are all dead."
"Beep-Beep-Beep…"
Tang Zhengping felt as if his head had exploded. He could feel the reeking smell of blood through the phone. Sorrow filled his eyes as they grew wide open.
All dead?
"NOOOOOOO…"
Tang Zhengping cried out crazily.
"Y-You…"
"Tang Zhengping, didn't I tell you? As you harmed my Jiang family, I'll repay it by a hundredfold. Did you think I was joking?"
Tang Zhengping was utterly stupefied. His face twitched in pain as he glared at Jiang Xiu. He had never expected that he would suffer such retaliation for a sin he had committed 12 years ago. This revenge was too violent, too ruthless. His son was dead, and his entire family wiped out.
"Why? Why did you act so ruthlessly?"
"You didn't even leave them a path to take."
Pain flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes. If it weren't for this re-do in his life, his parents would have met a misfortune end. A crippled father who killed himself and a mother who did the same to be together with her husband. He had suffered through all kinds of humiliation. He even had the same thoughts to choose an extreme way and would have decided to end his life like his parents if Cheng Lingran hadn't appeared in his life.
"When you harmed my father back then, did you think that he had a pretty wife and a lovely child? Did you consider what would happen to that child if his father went to prison?"
Tang Zhengping was dazed. Since everything had begun with evil, it had naturally ended with it as well.
At this moment, the disciplinary committee of the province arrived at the place, "Tang Zhengping, you are suspected of breaking the law as well as charged with the crime of accepting bribes, you're required to cooperate with the investigation from now on…"
"Hahaha…" After looking at Tang Zhengping get arrested, Jiang Yi recalled the time when he had got arrested. His wife cried bitterly with his son in her embrace. Lin Yueling had spent a full day and night sitting on the ground to ask the family's help, and although the young Jiang Xiu was puzzled at that time, he didn't say anything. He spent the entire time in hunger.
"So happy…"
Tears flowed down from Lin Yueling's eyes. She felt all the bitter grievances she experienced over these years disappear.
"Ling Dongcheng, you're suspected of…" As Ling Dongcheng had tried to frame Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling, he too didn't end up well and got taken away. Though it wasn't a grave crime, there was no doubt he would get sacked from this position.
The No. 1 person in the underworld, Jiang Xiu plus the border region of Jiangnan had crushed the Tang family by cooperating. It wasn't that the Tang family was too weak but rather that Mr. Jiang was too strong.
Cheng Hanlin and Sun Xiaohong's faces went pale.
They felt a chill in their hearts after witnessing Jiang Xiu's methods. Though Tang Zhengping was the main culprit who had harmed the Jiang family, Cheng Hanlin was his accomplice.
Since he had taken care of Tang Zhengping, they were the only ones left to be taken care of.
"We're finished!"
Sun Xiaohong collapsed to the floor. Cheng Lingsu went to support her mother with a pale face.
"Finished!"
Despair flashed through Cheng Hanlin's eyes, "Just kill me, I have nothing to say…"
"It's good that you understand that!"
"You are even worse than Tang Zhengping for selling out your friend!"
Cheng Lingsu came in between them to protect Cheng Hanlin, "Jiang Xiu, don't do this. For the sake of the little friendship our families have left, please spare my father's life."
"The Cheng family has been destroyed by you already. He has nothing left now."
After hearing this, Cheng Hanlin and Sun Xiaohong finally realized that Jiang Xiu was the mastermind behind their family going bankrupt.
