"Shimin, you believe me now, don't you!"
Lu Yang looked at Tang Shimin and said with a smile.
"I..."
Tang Shimin looked at Lu Yang's smiling face, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She hadn't expected that what Lu Yang told her before was true. Lu Yang could indeed save Grandpa Tang. Yet, she hadn't trusted Lu Yang at all and had even colluded with the Tang family to drive Lu Yang out.
Thinking of this, Tang Shimin was filled with shame!
"Was I wrong? Have I always misunderstood Lu Yang?"
Tang Shimin couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
"Alright, the patient is cured, and I should be going!"
Lu Yang disliked the commotion and left the Changlin Medical Hall after speaking.
"Hmph, so what if you know a bit of medicine? It's just a skill to make a living. Do you really think you're something special?"
"Compared to those powerful young masters, you're nothing!"
"Shimin, don't take it to heart. You don't need to bother with trash like him. Your goal is the chairman of Haitong Group. Compared to the chairman of Haitong Group, Lu Yang isn't even fit to carry their shoes!"
Li Xiumei immediately sneered from the side.
The rest of the Tang family immediately chimed in.
"Exactly, trash is still trash. What does it matter if you know a bit of medicine? Can you compare to rich second-generation heirs? No? Aren't you still stepped on by them?"
"This Lu Yang has a sinister heart. He clearly possesses medical skills but didn't reveal them for three years as a live-in son-in-law in our Tang family. Who knows what unspeakable secrets he has!"
"That's right, I suspect Grandpa's illness was most likely caused by this kid, and then he used it as an opportunity to cure Grandpa and gain favor!"
"..."
The Tang family members instantly began to cast all sorts of suspicions and conjectures on Lu Yang.
"You family is truly bizarre. Lu Shenyi cured your Tang family patriarch's illness, and you're saying these things. Get out! From now on, the Jiangbei City Traditional Chinese Medicine Association will put your Tang family on the blacklist. As long as you are a member of the Tang family, people from the Jiangbei Traditional Chinese Medicine Association will absolutely not treat you!"
The Tang family members were only focused on their own boasting, forgetting that this was Meng Hongda's territory.
Hearing this, how could Meng Hongda tolerate it? He directly roared at the Tang family.
Upon hearing Meng Hongda's words, the Tang family members instantly fell silent and, with Tang Yuan, slunk away.
...
A week later, explosive news spread like wildfire throughout Jiangbei City. The municipal government planned to invest in the Qinglong Bay area, turning the entire Qinglong Bay area into a coveted hot spot. The land in Qinglong Bay instantly skyrocketed from 200,000 yuan per mu to 2 million yuan, a tenfold increase.
Heilong Capital, which previously held all the construction land for Qinglong Bay, purchased it all for less than 500 million yuan. Its current value was 4 billion yuan.
In three days, they had earned 3.5 billion yuan.
This drastic change stunned Shen Yiman, the general manager of Heilong Capital. Sitting in her office, she stared at Qinglong Bay, unable to calm her emotions for a long time.
"What exactly is Lu Yang's identity?"
"Why did he say the land in Qinglong Bay could increase in price, and it actually did?"
"Earning 3.5 billion yuan in a week, this is more brilliant than all my achievements in Wall Street combined. A single battle has made him a legend!"
Shen Yiman thought in shock, but the one who was deified wasn't her, but Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was the mastermind behind everything, and she was merely a professional manager pushed to the forefront.
Shen Yiman also acted quickly, purchasing the entire office building to serve as Heilong Capital's headquarters. However, this time, she spent 100 million yuan on an office building that could have been bought for eighty to ninety million yuan.
"Alas, I should have listened to Lu Yang back then!"
Shen Yiman thought with a hint of regret.
Meanwhile, the entire Jiangbei City was in shock.
Countless people looked at the land in the Qinglong Bay area, which was previously so cheap that no one wanted it, and slapped their thighs in regret, wondering why they hadn't bought some. A simple resale would have brought immense profits.
At the Tang family villa, there was a scene of uproar.
Everyone sat in the hall of the Tang family villa, as if mourning their deceased parents.
"Why did this happen? Someone tell me, why did the land in Qinglong Bay suddenly... become like this?"
"Why did we have such good resources in our hands, and we sold them all?"
"Someone tell me clearly!"
Tang Yuan's face turned ashen, his body trembling with anger. They were supposed to be the ones making money. They held six hundred mu of land in Qinglong Bay. After investing just over 100 million yuan, they could have earned over a billion yuan by selling it. Instead, they begged Shen Yiman, the general manager of Heilong Capital, and sold all six hundred mu for ninety million yuan.
Tang Yuan wished he could slap himself.
He had spat out the meat that was already in his mouth.
"Grandpa, this has nothing to do with me. It's all that trash Lu Yang. He found Shen Yiman, the general manager of Heilong Capital, and tricked us into selling all our land. I suspect he's in league with Shen Yiman, just to get our land!"
Hearing this, Tang Zixuan immediately shifted all the blame to Lu Yang.
"That's right. Lu Yang was originally the deputy general manager of Heilong Capital. It's clear that he and Shen Yiman set a trap to ensnare us all!"
"Exactly, we can't let this trash cheat us out of our money. We must find him and get the land back!"
"Get it back, get the land back! We can't let this trash ruin our Tang family's chance to turn things around!"
"..."
Hearing this, all the Tang family members were instantly filled with righteous indignation and shouted loudly.
"This trash, I knew it. He never had good intentions in the Tang family!"
"Shimin, since Lu Yang is your husband, you are also responsible. So, you will handle this matter. You must get back all six hundred mu of land we have!"
"If you can't get it back, your entire family will be expelled from the household!"
Tang Yuan roared at Tang Shimin in anger.
"Grandpa, you were the one who insisted on selling the land back then. It was Lu Yang who helped find someone to sell all the land. Isn't it too much to bite the hand that fed you now?"
Tang Shimin, blushing, looked at Tang Yuan and retorted.
"You dare to talk back? I now have reason to suspect that you two colluded and deliberately cheated the Tang Corporation's money!"
"The person who bought the land was someone you found, and the person who sold the land was someone your husband found. Did you two collude beforehand to take advantage of my old age and failing eyesight?"
Tang Yuan roared at Tang Shimin again.
"Grandpa, I didn't. Everything I did was for the Tang family. I never had any selfish motives!"
Tang Shimin explained with tears of grievance.
"Since you say you didn't, then go and get back all six hundred mu of land for the Tang family. If you can't get it back, you'll never be allowed back into the Tang family!"
Tang Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness.
