The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 174 Tang Xiangdong Who Can Perform
Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Tang Xiangdong Who Can Perform
"How could this happen? Why did everything just end so suddenly?" Tang Qiulu asked in confusion.
"I don’t know either, let’s head to the Tang Family Mansion first." Tang Zhenhua stood up and said.
The family hurried away, the food on the table barely touched.
Before leaving, Sun Mei said to Liu Lili, "Today’s dishes are all yours to enjoy."
When they arrived at the Tang Family Mansion, all the Tang family’s relatives were already there.
In the old grandmother’s room, Tang Xiangdong and Tang Siwen knelt by the bedside, crying bitterly without any sign of pretense.
Tang Qiulu saw this scene and felt a pang of emotion, her nose tingling.
Suddenly, Tang Xiangdong came up to Su Changfeng, angrily saying, "It was you, you killed grandma."
Su Changfeng frowned, a trivial matter blamed on him was one thing, but if Tang Xiangdong put the blame for the old lady’s death on him, he certainly wouldn’t admit it.
"Does grandma’s death have anything to do with me? Why would I kill her?" Su Changfeng said coldly.
"If it weren’t for you, why would Gu Qing’er come to the Tang family? Grandma said she wanted to rest for a while, but Gu Qing’er said she didn’t have much time, if she didn’t do it, who else could’ve?" Tang Xiangdong said.
Gu Qing’er?
Why did she come to the Tang family?
Su Changfeng had a gloomy look, but even if she came once, the old lady’s death wouldn’t have anything to do with her.
Gu Qing’er is only 18 this year, where would she get the courage to kill someone?
Gu Qing’er came to the Tang family when the old lady’s assistant told Tang Xiangdong about it. After hearing this news, Tang Xiangdong immediately planned to put the blame on Gu Qing’er, because he also came to meet the old lady, and if not, he might also be suspected.
"Su Changfeng, what exactly happened?" Tang Qiulu asked coldly toward Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng replied helplessly, "Today I went to see Gu Changsheng, even though he didn’t acknowledge the Tang family, he did promise to find some Gu Family businesses to cooperate with the Tang Family. Gu Qing’er probably came to talk to grandma about this."
At this point, the old lady’s assistant also said, "Miss Gu did mention this matter."
"Why would the Gu Family help the Tang Family kindly? It’s because you couldn’t stand grandma, so you had Gu Qing’er do it for you. Su Changfeng, I never thought you could be so vicious, grandma was at this age and you still wouldn’t let her go." Tang Xiangdong didn’t want to let Gu Qing’er off the hook; he insisted on pinning the blame on Su Changfeng and Gu Qing’er.
"Is that so? Seeing how sure you are, we should let the police intervene." Su Changfeng said coldly.
Hearing this, Tang Xiangdong’s heart trembled; if the police got involved and conducted a thorough investigation, he would surely be exposed.
"How powerful the Gu Family is in Hai City, do you think we don’t see this? Even if the police get involved, it won’t help, right? Now you’ve had Gu Qing’er kill grandma, and you plan to eliminate the Tang family too?" Tang Xiangdong said.
"How am I trying to eliminate the Tang Family?" Su Changfeng looked at Tang Xiangdong coldly.
"If no evidence is found from the police report, the Gu Family could accuse us of slandering Gu Qing’er and strike against the Tang Family, no? Isn’t that a plan to eliminate the Tang Family?" Tang Xiangdong said.
The rest of the Tang family also agreed with Tang Xiangdong, all looking at Su Changfeng with malice.
"Su Changfeng, get out of here, this is not a place you can stay."
"Exactly, an outsider like you should leave immediately and never step foot in the Tang Family Mansion again."
"Grandma’s cause of death definitely has something to do with you, from now on there is no place for you in the Tang family!"
The Tang family members were all cursing him, but Su Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Tang Xiangdong, realizing the latter’s words sounded premeditated; perhaps grandma’s death had something to do with Tang Xiangdong.
However, with the entire Tang family not believing Su Changfeng, they wouldn’t listen to his speculations.
After Su Changfeng was kicked out, Tang Xiangdong said to the remaining people, "Everyone remembers, Grandma’s death is related to Gu Qing’er. Don’t mention it to anyone, let’s just say she died of natural causes, okay?"
"Why do this? Murder is illegal, we can’t just let Gu Qing’er and Su Changfeng get away with it." Tang Siwen said.
"Given the Tang family’s current status, we’re no match for the Gu Family, but under my guidance, we’ll surpass the Gu Family one day, and we can use this opportunity of cooperation with them to gradually find evidence against Gu Qing’er. Rest assured, I will give grandma justice."
Tang Xiangdong spoke with the authority of a chairman, but no one objected, as everyone understood that the old lady intended for Tang Xiangdong to become chairman, and now that she’s gone, he’s the natural choice for the position.
"Donglin, is this really the only option, swallowing our anger?" Tang Zhenbang said with some dissatisfaction.
Tang Xiangdong sighed in response, "Do you think the Tang Family currently has the strength to handle the Gu Family? If we fall out with them now, would they let us off? Enduring now is nothing; as long as we can retaliate in the future."
Hearing this, everyone in the Tang family nodded.
With the old lady gone, there’s no reason for the entire Tang Family to suffer.
To tear things up with the Gu Family now would be suicidal, and the news of grandma’s death involving them must never be mentioned. Otherwise, the Tang Family would face disaster.
The Tang family members were particularly selfish, unwilling to take action if it affected their interests.
"What about Su Changfeng? He might tell the Gu Family about this, letting them know we’re suspicious of Gu Qing’er."
"Yes, that loser Su Changfeng will definitely inform the Gu Family."
"It’d be great to kick Su Changfeng out of the Tang family. But doing so now might affect us."
Hearing everyone talk like this, Tang Xiangdong coldly smiled at Tang Qiulu, "Tang Qiulu, Su Changfeng is your family, so you should handle him."
Tang Qiulu certainly didn’t believe Su Changfeng was involved in grandma’s death, nor could he have collaborated with Gu Qing’er on such a thing.
But the current Tang family believed in Tang Xiangdong, and if she spoke up for Su Changfeng, it would surely displeasure them.
"Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to ensure he can’t open his mouth." Tang Qiulu said.
