Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

”The Yang Family won’t go all out, they might not even put in much effort, because they can’t afford the price.”

Wisdom flickered in Jiang Liufeng’s eyes as he said calmly, ”Everyone knows just how fiercely that old bastard Lu Tiankuang protects his own. Now his strength has fully recovered and even advanced a step further. If the Yang Family dares do anything to his grandson, that old bastard Lu Tiankuang will definitely lose it and need to vent the anger he’s been suppressing in his heart. Rose, who do you think he’ll vent that anger on?”

”The Yang Family!” Rose said heavily.

”That’s right, the Yang Family.”

Jiang Liufeng said in a deep voice, ”Lu Tiankuang might not dare rashly charge into Shu, but entering Beijing is still within his reach. Once the Yang Family and Tang Family throw everything they have into dealing with Tianxing, the first to bear the brunt will be the Yang Family, because compared to fighting his way into Shu, it’s obviously much easier to fight his way into Beijing.”

”So even though Beijing is riddled with crises right now, it’s still relatively safe for Tianxing. Even when the fifth day arrives, he only needs to face the Tang Family; he doesn’t need to worry too much about the Yang Family, because they won’t act lightly. They don’t dare. They cannot afford the price of going all out, and they won’t shoulder Lu Tiankuang’s fury on behalf of the Tang Family.”

Listening to Jiang Liufeng’s words, the heavy look on Rose’s face eased slightly. She continued, ”Grandpa, the Yang Family doesn’t dare move, but other forces might make a move, it’s not certain. Right now, aside from an unparalleled Cultivation Technique, Tianxing also has the Four Symbols Ring. It’s rumored to be the key to open the Qi Refiner’s Grave. Whoever gets it will gain invincible power under heaven, wealth that rivals a nation, and true immortality. All this together is enough to make countless people risk everything.”

”You’re right, it is enough to drive people to desperate risk. But if anyone dares stick his head out at a time like this, I don’t mind letting him learn what it means to die without a burial place.”

As his words fell, a sharp gleam burst from Jiang Liufeng’s eyes, his tone carrying a chilling murderous intent. Whoever dared to stand out, he would kill. He had no qualms about blood-washing all of China.

After hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Rose fell into silence. She chose not to say anything more, but a fierce killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes. Her thoughts were the same as Jiang Liufeng’s. This time, no matter who it was, as long as they dared touch her man, she didn’t mind blood-washing China, making everyone pay the price. Even if she died, she would bite off a chunk of flesh from these people.

...

Time flowed like water, slipping away in an instant. In the blink of an eye it was already the next day. Both Beijing and Modu were as noisy and bustling as ever, as if what had happened last night hadn’t had any impact at all.

The brilliant sunlight poured down onto the land. The rotten air of the night and its shadowy chill vanished with it. Sunlight shone on people’s bodies, giving them a warm, cozy feeling.

Shu, Tang Family.

Though today’s weather was exceptionally bright, and the sun extremely warm, inside the Tang Family there wasn’t the slightest trace of warmth. There was only a cold that pierced straight through the heart, a chill that sank deep into the bones.

The entire Tang Family was now draped in white cloth, and every person’s arm was wrapped with a black silk ribbon. A sorrowful atmosphere spread over the Tang Family estate.

Tang Fengxing sat on the sofa in the living room, his face deathly pale and horrifying to look at. The muscles on his face were slightly twisted, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken, making him seem as if he hadn’t slept for a long time.

Nothing is more mournful than a heart gone dead!

That was exactly how Tang Fengxing felt now. Ever since he learned last night that Tang Fengyun was dead, he had been sitting on the sofa without any movement at all, motionless. Compared to the calm surface, inside Tang Fengxing felt as if someone was stabbing his heart over and over with a knife, the pain so intense it left him gasping for breath.

And this heartache came entirely from Tang Fengyun. In the Tang Family, everyone knew the reputation of the Tang Family’s three brothers, yet in less than a few short months, his brothers had died one after another, leaving only him, lonely and alone.

Moreover, after Tang Fengyun’s phone suddenly cut off last night, he had kept dialing Fengyun’s number, but never got any response. At the same time, word came from Modu that Bai Qiao Mountain was safe and sound.

When that news arrived, Tang Fengxing already understood: Tang Fengyun was truly dead.

Although deep inside Tang Fengxing refused to accept this fact, he had no choice but to believe it, because Bai Qiao Mountain was now safe and sound—that was ironclad proof. And although the Rose Society had gone all-out last night, this morning everything had come to a halt and settled back into calm. That was enough to prove one thing.

That thing was that Tang Fengyun was truly dead, and his body was likely already found by people from the Rose Society. Otherwise, the Rose Society would never have stopped searching, nor would they have allowed Tang Fengyun to return alive to Shu.

This realization nearly drove Tang Fengxing mad. In his move against the Lu Family, he had suffered a total, crushing defeat. Not only had he lost his third brother Tang Fengxiao, he had lost Tang Wenhu, lost one person after another. With this latest failure, he had also lost his only remaining brother Tang Fengyun, leaving him utterly alone. It made Tang Fengxing feel as if he were falling into a demonic haze.

In just a few months, the Tang Family had lost several elites in succession, and even two of his own brothers. Tang Fengxing now couldn’t figure out where exactly he had gone wrong. What had seemed like a sure thing, why did it keep collapsing at the final moment? What was the reason behind it? Was it really karmic retribution, the cycle unfailingly coming back around?

More than twenty years ago, he had joined forces with the Yang Family and the other great clans to scheme Lu Tianzhan and his wife to their deaths. Could it be that more than twenty years later, today, the Tang Family was destined to be destroyed by Lu Tianzhan’s son?

At this moment, as he sat on the sofa, Tang Fengxing seemed to age several decades in an instant.

Right now the Tang Family could be said to have taken massive losses. Tang Fengyun was dead, Tang Fengxiao was also dead, and most of their elites were killed or crippled. Within the Tang Family now, there were basically no experts left to use—or rather, not many experts he could still trust. Even if there were, it would likely be useless. If danger came, these people might run faster than anyone.

Using these people to go up against the Lu Family—Tang Fengxing might have the desire, but he didn’t have the guts to do it. Who knew if these people would suddenly stab the Tang Family in the back.
