"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. That good-for-nothing, here's a hundred bucks. Let your wife have a drink with us for an hour, don't worry, it's just for an hour!"
Liu Changxin nodded, pulled out a hundred yuan bill, threw it on the ground, and said coldly to Lu Yang.
"Scram!"
Lu Yang looked up at the two men and said coldly.
"What did you say? You're looking to die!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Liu Changxin's face instantly turned icy. He kicked towards Lu Yang, but before his foot could connect, Lu Yang dodged. He then kicked Liu Changxin in the abdomen, sending him flying several meters away.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Lu Yang to be so formidable, sending Liu Changxin flying with a single kick. Liu Changxin, after all, had trained in Sanda and was quite skilled.
"You... you're finished. Young Master Liu won't let this go!"
Mo Yunsong pointed at Lu Yang and shouted.
"Do you want a taste too?"
Lu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he asked Mo Yunsong coldly.
"You wait, this isn't over!"
Mo Yunsong spat out a threat, quickly helped Liu Changxin up, and they disappeared from the park.
"Lu Yang, you're amazing! You scared those two bad guys away!"
Tang Shimin danced with joy, celebrating Lu Yang's victory. Lu Yang, however, was a bit bewildered. He realized his strength had increased significantly. With that one kick, he hadn't even used much force but managed to send Liu Changxin flying several meters. It was truly inexplicable.
Meanwhile, not far away, a hot-bodied woman in a black, tight-fitting outfit was observing Lu Yang's every move through binoculars from a tree.
"Our boss's strength is getting more and more immense. One kick is enough to send this guy flying three meters!"
The woman said excitedly as she watched.
"Of course. Black Dragon King's power is such that he stands at the forefront of the Four Leaders. He just hasn't awakened yet. When he does, the whole world will tremble!"
A man in a black suit standing beneath the tree said calmly.
If Hu Biao were present, he would be terrified, for these two were the very ones who had attacked him. Their methods were extremely strange. Despite being surrounded by dozens of Hu Biao's men, they had moved like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Just as Lu Yang and Tang Shimin were enjoying themselves, Tang Mingde called, asking them to go to the Tang family villa for an emergency family meeting.
When Lu Yang and Tang Shimin returned, they saw Tang Mingde and Li Xiumei already in the car. Both were injured. Tang Mingde's face had several scratches, and Li Xiumei's hair was disheveled, indicating a fierce struggle had just occurred.
However, Lu Yang could understand. With the money taken by Li Xiulan's family, it was like a dog getting a meat bun – it was gone forever. They wouldn't get the money back in this lifetime.
Lu Yang opened the car door, let Tang Shimin in, and as he was about to get in, Li Xiumei yanked him back.
"Good-for-nothing, get out! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my money. How dare you sit in my Phaeton? Get lost and ride your electric scooter!"
Li Xiumei yelled, then wiggled her butt into the driver's seat and drove away, leaving a speechless Lu Yang behind.
By the time Lu Yang arrived at the Tang family villa on his electric scooter, all the Tang family relatives had already gathered. Seeing Lu Yang walk in, they all cast disdainful glances his way.
"Useless bum, why are you here for our Tang family meeting? Are you even considered part of the Tang family?"
Tang Zixuan immediately asked Lu Yang coldly.
"I'm here to accompany Shimin!"
Lu Yang replied calmly.
"You're only good at deceiving simpletons like Tang Shimin. Any other woman would have kicked you out by now!"
Tang Zixuan continued disdainfully.
"Shimin isn't a simpleton. Watch your words!"
Hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes instantly turned cold.
"If she's not a simpleton, what is she? I'm starting to suspect you arranged that car accident yourself, just to get Shimin. You're truly wicked!"
"What? Upset because I've exposed you? Hit me then..."
Tang Zixuan continued to provoke him.
Just as Lu Yang was about to teach Tang Zixuan a lesson, Tang Yuan walked out.
"Everyone quiet down. I have something important to announce!"
At Tang Yuan's words, everyone immediately fell silent.
"You must have heard the rumors. The number one group in Jiangbei City, Haitong Group, has suddenly changed its chairman for some unknown reason. This new chairman is extremely influential and has directly invested ten billion yuan!"
"We don't know who this new chairman is, but his appearance presents a tremendous opportunity for our Tang family!"
"Countless families and businesses in the entire Jiangbei region have been affected. Whoever manages to latch onto the Haitong Group ship will soar directly into the ranks of Jiangbei City's elite families!"
"Our Tang family has worked hard for generations and is merely a second-rate family in Jiangbei. Therefore, this opportunity must not be missed. If we seize it, our Tang family can rise to prominence, become an elite family, and secure a place in Jiangbei City!"
As soon as Tang Yuan finished speaking, all the Tang family members exchanged glances, their faces pale.
Climb onto Haitong Group? That's easier said than done!
Everyone knew that Haitong Group had invested ten billion yuan, but not everyone was qualified to be Haitong Group's partner. As the number one group in Jiangbei City with assets exceeding a hundred billion, who could handle such a colossal project without the proper backing?
The Tang family was merely a second-rate family, dealing in medicinal herbs, and had no connection to Haitong Group. They wouldn't even be noticed by Haitong Group.
For the Tang family to rise through this opportunity would be nothing short of wishful thinking.
"What? No one is speaking? Aren't you all usually so capable and eloquent? Why are you all mute when it comes to critical matters? A bunch of useless people!"
Seeing the complete silence from the Tang family, Tang Yuan, furious, pounded the ground with his cane and roared.
"Father, I understand what you mean, but our Tang family has no connection with Haitong Group. Moreover, they've just appointed a new president. Getting investment will be extremely difficult!"
Tang Yuan's eldest son, Tang Mingyuan, said directly.
"Nonsense. If it weren't difficult, I would have solved it with a single phone call and wouldn't need to call you all here to brainstorm."
Tang Yuan said coldly.
"Grandpa, perhaps I have a way!"
At this moment, Tang Zixuan stepped forward, smiling.
"Oh? Let's hear it!"
Tang Yuan's interest was immediately piqued.
