Mother Tang had barely left when the bodyguard captain, He Jin, came hurrying over with an exquisite rosewood box in his hands.
He set the rosewood box on the table and said respectfully,
"Young Master Tang, Madam asked me to deliver this. She said it's a gift for visiting Old Master Wang."
"Alright. Thanks for your trouble."
Tang Yu nodded. The Old Master Wang Mother Tang had mentioned was the patriarch of the Wang Family, one of Suhang's Four Great Families.
Of the Four Great Families, the Tang Family stood at the head, with the most formidable strength!
Second came the Wang Family, third the Qin Family, while the Su Family brought up the rear.
The Wang Family and Tang Family had been family friends for generations and interacted closely. Old Master Wang had treated Tang Yu well ever since he was young.
Some time ago, Old Master Wang had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that left him paralyzed on one side, and he was currently recuperating at home.
"Fuck, isn't this the plot from Chapter Sixty-Two?"
Tang Yu jolted awake.
According to the original plot, Old Master Wang had remained paralyzed after falling ill, with no treatment able to cure him. The Wang Family had searched everywhere for famous doctors to treat the old man.
And as the male lead of a power-fantasy novel, Ye Chen naturally had his divine physician cheat fully maxed out. Things like the Taiyi Divine Needle were no challenge to him.
This part of the plot was the perfect moment for him to show off!
By displaying his medical skills and curing Old Master Wang, he would earn the Wang Family's friendship and lay the groundwork for conquering Suhang!
"Fuck, do I have to go up there and get beaten again?"
Tang Yu was instantly bewildered. Could it be that he wasn't even allowed to stop being a stepping stone?
Then he thought about it carefully.
According to the original plot, he should already have been dead by now.
The one who got stepped on in this part of the story was not him, but another miracle doctor who had come to treat the illness.
First, an expert would make his move. Once the expert failed, the Dragon King would step out to show off. Only then would he appear a hundred times more impressive than everyone else!
That put Tang Yu slightly at ease.
As long as he wasn't the one getting stepped on, everything was negotiable.
As for avoiding this plot by simply not going, Tang Yu did not dare do something so stupid.
He had tried it once before. The outcome of forcibly avoiding the plot had been a dead end.
The system's rules were right there: he could find ways to lie low, but he absolutely could not flee the plot!
Seeing Tang Yu's expression constantly changing, He Jin could not help reminding him, "Young Master Tang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Tang Yu shook his head.
"That's good." He Jin sighed in relief and smiled as he sought credit.
"Young Master Tang, I know you're still upset about what happened today. Don't worry, I've already sent people to trouble that kid surnamed Ye."
"???"
Tang Yu's eyes widened as he stared at He Jin. "Who did you send people to trouble?"
"That little bodyguard." He Jin said proudly.
"Didn't you say he was an expert, Young Master Tang? I specially sent more than thirty people over just now. This time, he'll definitely pay the price."
Tang Yu sucked in a cold breath.
Good lord, are you fucking terrified I'll live until the finale?
He gritted his teeth and said,
"Call them back immediately. They are not allowed to touch him."
"Ah? Alright."
He Jin hurriedly took out his phone and called his men back, though he was rather puzzled inside.
"Did you call them back?"
"I did."
"Good." Only then did Tang Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Fuck, he had nearly been set up again!
He scrutinized He Jin several times. No matter how he looked at the guy—from the side, straight on, above, or below—he fucking looked like a loyal double agent.
This man could not be kept!
"Captain He, they say a gale reveals the strength of the grass, and chaos reveals the loyal minister. I'm very satisfied with your performance today."
Tang Yu put an arm around He Jin's shoulders with a genial expression.
"But I think being a bodyguard captain is beneath your talents. How about this? Our Tang Family has a mining company in South Africa. Why don't you go over there and keep an eye on it for me?"
"Me?" He Jin was deeply moved. Young Master Tang truly treated people generously.
"Yes. Go tomorrow. I'll make the arrangements shortly. Once you're there, your salary and bonuses will be tripled. Work hard for a few years first, then we'll talk."
Tang Yu heavily patted He Jin on the shoulder.
"Wuwu, thank you for trusting me, Young Master Tang. I'll definitely work hard."
He Jin was so touched that he cried. After repeatedly thanking him, he returned to pack his things, brimming with gratitude.
Once He Jin had left, Tang Yu was thoroughly satisfied.
Very good, one double agent dealt with!
Sent off to Africa, there was no way he could jump out and draw hatred toward him now, right?
He lowered his head and glanced at the Rolex on his wrist.
The life of the rich was just so plain, unadorned, and dull!
Taking the gift from the table, Tang Yu headed toward the garage.
Soon, a silver Lamborghini Veneno drove out of the Tang Family estate.
The Wang Family's old residence was located in the suburbs. Tang Yu drove for nearly an hour before arriving at the Wang Family.
As one of Suhang's Four Great Families, the Wang Family's old residence had once been a princely mansion.
Over the past century, the residence had been renovated several times. The last time Tang Yu had come was the last time he had come.
After pulling up at the gates, the bodyguards standing watch immediately recognized Tang Yu and respectfully called out, "Hello, Young Master Tang."
"Park the car for me."
Tang Yu casually tossed the keys to a bodyguard and strode into the Wang Family estate with the gift in hand.
The interior of the residence was decorated in the classic style of a Suzhou garden.
Pavilions and towers stood amid small, ethereal pools. Everywhere he looked as he walked was breathtakingly beautiful.
Just as he reached the entrance to the living room, a tall beauty in a qipao happened to emerge from inside, and the two of them crashed solidly into each other.
Fortunately, a certain area of the qipao beauty was exceptionally well-developed. The full, cushioned zone spared them both from injury.
Feeling the astonishing elasticity against his chest, Tang Yu nearly blurted out a "Fuck!"
His gaze instinctively swept over the qipao beauty.
She wore a white osmanthus qipao, her long black hair draped over her shoulders.
Beneath an exquisite angelic face without a single flaw was an absolutely devilish figure.
It was simply because her figure was too explosive that the qipao she wore seemed somewhat unable to bear the burden.
[Referee, she committed a foul by crashing into me with the ball!]
[The fabric of these clothes is seriously good too. It's probably made from premium silk. If it were a shirt, it would have burst open long ago.]
Upon suddenly hearing that voice, the qipao beauty could not help widening her eyes as she stared at Tang Yu.
"What did you say?"
She could scarcely believe her ears.
This guy dared speak to her like that?
"Ah? I didn't say anything. Are you alright?"
Tang Yu was rather confused, reaching up to touch his nose.
Wang Yixue had not seen Tang Yu's lips move just now either. Assuming she had hallucinated the sound, she replied with an indifferent expression,
"I misheard. Why have you come to my house?"
"I came to visit Old Master Wang."
Tang Yu lifted the gift in his hand, and the atmosphere abruptly became somewhat awkward.
The beauty before him was Wang Yixue, the Wang Family's eldest daughter. She was also his ex-girlfriend, and the second female lead of this novel!
Since the Wang Family and Tang Family were old family friends, they had known each other since childhood.
When they attended the same university, they had dated for two months during their freshman year.
Later, a promiscuous social butterfly from their school had relentlessly clung to Tang Yu, causing Wang Yixue to misunderstand. The two of them had then hastily broken up.
After that, Tang Yu became Suhang's most famous simp.
After graduating from university, Wang Yixue had returned to work at her family company and had remained single ever since!
