Chapter 77: 077 Takes Control of the Entire Situation, Mr. Tang Exhibits Impressive Skills (2 More Chapters) Chapter 77: 077 Takes Control of the Entire Situation, Mr. Tang Exhibits Impressive Skills (2 More Chapters) Zhang Liyun saw the person in the distance, and her face instantly turned as white as frost. Her makeup today was already faint, but now not a hint of color remained.
Under the light, she looked even more ghastly.
“Ms. Zhang?” the host reminded, “How can you space out during filming?”
Subconsciously following her gaze, he didn’t recognize Tang Yunxian, as the light in the audience was dim and he wasn’t familiar with him.
The lighting technician directed the spotlight that way…
Almost everyone’s eyes were focused on that side, but before they could get a clear view of the person,
“Zhang Defu!”
Along with a shout of anger, two n dressed like thugs suddenly charged onto the stage, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
Zhang Defu froze for two seconds, his expression one of alarm, and he stood up from his seat in a panic, “Xiong… Brother Xiong?”
“I’ve been looking for you for days, and you haven’t been answering my calls. When are you planning to pay back the money you owe us?” The way these two spoke was rough, clearly the manner of underworld figures.
“My money, didn’t I already pay you guys?”
“You’re talking bullshit; before, we let so debts slide out of respect for Mr. Tang…”
“Let’s talk about this offstage…”
Zhang Defu had been blustering and vocally accusing Tang Yunxian just monts before, but now he was completely cowed.
“You go to the dia and accuse the Tang Family. Well, that’s great. Let’s let everyone judge. Paying back what you owe is a matter of course, isn’t it?”
“Don’t let his current respectable appearance fool you; in private, he’s engaged in all sorts of vices like drinking, whoring, gambling… Mr. Tang has had to clean up after you many tis over the years.”
“We overlooked your behavior before because Mr. Tang was there to cover for you, giving you face and treating you with respect. Without the Tang Family, you’re less than nothing!”
Their words were naturally crude.
Zhang Defu tried to maintain his composure, but fear was already evident in his eyes.
“I’ll have money very soon, let’s talk below,” he said, his voice trembling.
“Waiting to split the assets after the divorce?” the man sneered, disdain in his eyes.
“You’ve taken so much advantage from the Tang Family. Even a dog knows to be grateful; you’re worse than a dog!”
“Since you’re getting divorced anyway, why not take the opportunity to extort a bit more, right?”
“…”
Zhang Defu was left speechless, his sordid intentions exposed for all to see, naturally causing him great embarrassnt.
“We’re not exactly saints, but we don’t make trouble without reason. We have all the IOUs he signed when borrowing money…” The man said and took a few papers from his pocket, the audience could only vaguely see so signatures and thumbprints.
But since they dared to show them publicly, plus Zhang Defu’s behavior, they were most likely real.
“Who knew he was such trash in private? Can you trust what this kind of person says?”
“Even Mr. Tang is too kind, paying off his debts?”
…
Zhang Liyun was no fool. When those two n ca onto the stage, the audience, like her, was confused, but so of the staff, who should have maintained order, did not move at all.
It was obvious who was in control of the whole situation.
In one night, a campaign was built, and in just a few seconds, it was all brought back to reality.
Speaking of ruthlessness, it was still Tang Yunxian, striking the snake at its vitals. His move was extrely precise.
Zhang Liyun looked at the person in the distance, the lights now falling on him, cultured and scholarly, yet with an indifference that seed devoid of any human warmth.
“It’s Mr. Tang!”
Soone shouted, shifting the focus, and the atmosphere in the studio was ignited in an instant.
Tang Yunxian appeared calm, casually walking over, but the aura he brought tensed the studio atmosphere to the extre.
His eyes were dull, a storm brewing.
At that mont, the program director jogged over, “Mr. Tang, do we need to clear the studio?”
“No, since they want everyone to judge, let’s lay it all out. I also want to see just how shaless a person can be.”
Tang Mo stood to the side, anxious and panicked, clutching Zhang Liyun’s hand.
But Zhang Defu, too, had realized by now. The sudden appearance of his creditors, if nobody had brought them in, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the studio at all. Looking at Tang Yunxian, he beca furiously enraged.
“Tang Yunxian, you brought these people here, you did this on purpose, you want to ruin !”
Tang Yunxian chuckled lightly, “Did I force you to gamble, force you to borrow money, or force you to write IOUs? How does it turn into ruining you?”
His voice was not loud, but in order to hear him clearly, everyone inside the tent held their breath.
“Perhaps the only thing I did wrong,” he said, “was paying off so of your debts. At that ti, I might as well have let them…”
“Chop off your hands!”
Those few light words sent a chill through the audience.
“You…” Zhang Defu’s body trembled with rage.
“Every ti you cried and promised never to gamble again. You even wrote letters of guarantee, signed your na. If you’re going to say that all this is my fault, then I have nothing to say.”
“But I will admit one thing, I did bring these people here.”
“Look!” Zhang Defu seed to have caught a lifeline and imdiately began to shout, “Look, he admits it!”
However, Tang Yunxian just smiled lightly, “To deal with a shaless person, unconventional thods are naturally necessary. After all, to get involved personally…”
“Would be beneath .”
Zhang Defu’s face turned a shade of green with anger.
By now, the audience was abuzz with discussion.
“Holy shit, that’s utterly shaless.”
“Mr. Tang really shouldn’t have helped him. Such a person is just wasting oxygen.”
“Just thinking about the things he said earlier makes want to vomit.”
With the evidence in Tang Yunxian’s hands and the debtors present, Zhang Defu’s character was being questioned, rendering his words unreliable.
“People like him, who never learn and are addicted to gambling, their words are as good as farts—not a single word or punctuation mark can be trusted!”
…
The winds of opinion had shifted dramatically, and the spectators’ looks toward the trio beca very strange.
Since Tang Yunxian was willing to clean up Zhang Defu’s ss, then Zhang Liyun and her daughter must have had an easy life with the Tang Family.
Their abrupt move to act could only be motivated by one thing…
Money!
Seeing that the situation had taken a turn and could not be resolved, Zhang Liyun brazenly approached Tang Yunxian, “Yunxian, about that…”
“Our marriage was never about love from the start; it was a transaction. Everyone knows whether the Tang Family has treated you two badly over the years. I myself have a clear conscience.”
“Regarding the divorce, others may not know, but we both do. This kind of issue normally affects won more adversely, which is why I decided to handle it quietly. Why did you escalate it to the courthouse, claiming I kicked you out of the house…”
Tang Yunxian gave a cold laugh.
“Causing a scene at the hospital, even trying to drive away my guests, didn’t you deserve the beating?”
A disturbance at the hospital?
The audience looked toward Zhang Defu. Wasn’t this shaless guy saying he got beaten up when he went to visit soone at the hospital?
What a piece of trash, not a single truthful word cos out of his mouth!
“Now that this has blown up in the dia, it wasn’t my intention. But up next, there are so things that I think should be aired in front of everyone, to avoid soone getting locked up…”
“and then falsely accusing the Tang Family of framing them, abusing our power!”
When Zhang Liyun and her daughter heard these words, their expressions changed drastically!
“What the hell are you talking about!” Zhang Defu, having done many things to be ashad of, thought Tang Yunxian was targeting him and imdiately beca anxious, “Don’t think just because you have so money, you can ss with us.”
Tang Yunxian scoffed lightly, completely ignoring him.
His voice was calm, yet each word carried weight: “Before I embarrass you, I’ll give you a chance to confess on your own.”

In another corner, soone was hiding in the shadows, subconsciously rubbing their fingers:
The psychological war was being played smoothly. Ruthless.
No one knew what they had in their hands. Jumping out rashly, if it was not oneself, it was like walking into a trap. But if it truly was oneself being revealed later, that would be even more thrilling.
The three of them had their thoughts, and it was just a matter of seeing whose ntal defenses would break first.
“Boss, aren’t we going to intervene?”
“No rush. The Tang Family’s affairs are best dealt with by themselves. We don’t want to steal Uncle Tang’s thunder. We’ll just lend a hand at the right mont, make a good impression.”
A helping hand?
Are you sure your helping hand won’t be the death of them?
