(Three Updates) 351: Chapter 353: Family Secrets!
(Three Updates) Nobody had anticipated that Tang Zhong would be so domineering, utterly destroying the Tang Family’s banquet.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at Tang Zhong.
“I want an explanation,” Tang Zhong demanded coldly.
He knew the Tang Family was too powerful to provoke single-handedly, but for the sake of finding out what had beco of his parents, what did it matter if he incited their wrath?
Then Tang Zhong’s gaze turned to the Family Head, Tang Ran.
Tang Ran, in turn, looked at Tang Zhong.
His eyes sparkled with anger.
At this mont, he felt so rage boiling within him.
Had it not been for his need for Tang Zhong, he probably would have ordered him to be captured right after he blasted the dinner table away.
Now, it could be said that the banquet had co to an end.
Ignoring the stares from the other mbers of the Tang Family, Tang Ran said to Tang Zhong, “Whatever you want to know, just co with .”
After all, this banquet was held in anticipation of Tang Zhong’s arrival.
Then Tang Ran addressed the others, “The banquet is now over, you may all leave.”
The surrounding people, who were very displeased with Tang Zhong for ruining the banquet, heard the Family Head’s words and didn’t dare to resist, hurriedly taking their leave.
“Then, Family Head, I shall take my leave first!”
“I’m leaving too!”
A large group of people left, and as they passed by Tang Zhong, they didn’t forget to give him a disdainful glance.
But Tang Zhong paid them no mind, his attention fixed on Tang Ran.
Only Tang Ran and Tang Zhong were left in the room.
“Tell what you’re looking to find out,” Tang Ran said, sitting naturally in a chair and gazing at Tang Zhong.
“Where exactly were my parents buried?” Tang Zhong asked directly, this being the question he was most eager to have answered.
“May I refuse to answer this question?” Tang Ran inquired.
“No, you may not!” Tang Zhong asserted imdiately.
“Then I’ll tell you.
The reason you couldn’t find your parents in the cetery is that they simply don’t belong there.
They were deed unworthy to be interred in our ancestral grounds because they were criminals to the family!” Tang Ran stated calmly.
“Criminals to the family?” Tang Zhong’s expression turned downright ugly.
“Why would you say that?
How could my parents possibly be criminals?”
This was sothing Tang Zhong couldn’t believe.
Ten years ago, when his parents told him to leave and not to stay with the Tang Family, he didn’t know what happened afterwards.
Could it have been sothing that occurred after his departure?
“Yes, criminals.
They were suspected of betraying the secrets of our Tang Family…
Forget it, there are so things I don’t think you need to know, so there’s really no need for you to be aware of them!”
“After all, the cris of your parents are things of the past.
Bringing them up now is pointless and only adds to the sorrow.”
“Back then, I pleaded for rcy on behalf of your parents, but it was no use.
Their cri was too severe.
But rest assured, you won’t be affected.
At the family council, it was only decided to punish your mother, and that has little to do with you,”
Tang Ran explained.
Upon hearing these words, Tang Zhong felt as if struck by thunder—his parents were considered criminals to the family.
Impossible, thought Tang Zhong, recalling how kind his parents once were.
How could they have violated the family’s rules?
“I just want to know what exactly happened?” At that mont, Tang Zhong’s eyes turned fiery red.
He had to find out the truth, these so-called secrets be damned.
“This, I’m afraid I cannot tell you; it is a secret of the family,” Tang Ran responded coldly, but upon seeing Tang Zhong’s reaction, he couldn’t help but smile slyly to himself.
This scene was unfolding just as he had imagined.
Tang Zhong heard the family’s secret, he knew that the Tang Family was very powerful within Xuanjing City, and then he said coldly, “Then tell , what has beco of my parents’ bodies now?”
“They were cremated!” Tang Ran said, “Originally I wanted to secure them a place in the cetery, but the others disagreed, after all, the Tang Family isn’t just ruled by the elder uncle, so, later…”
“What happened?” Tang Zhong’s eyes widened.
He had always thought that his parents had died and then been buried in the Tang Family cetery.
But now, faced with such a result, Tang Zhong found it hard to believe.
“Later I took their ashes and scattered them into the moat!” Tang Ran said.
What?
At that mont, Tang Zhong clenched his fists together.
His parents had dedicated themselves to the Tang Family, but now, even in death, to have their ashes scattered into the moat, this Tang Family was truly despicable.
“Was it a high-ranking mber who decided my parents’ fate?” Tang Zhong asked.
“This…
I’m afraid I can’t tell you, but before your parents died, they did ask to pass on a ssage to you!” Tang Ran said.
“Do not oppose the Tang Family because of their actions.
They did wrong and should be punished.
I hope you won’t beco an enemy of the Tang Family because of them, after all, your surna is Tang!”
After Tang Ran finished speaking, Tang Zhong looked rather upset.
These words were the sa as what his parents had told him when they let him leave the Tang Family alone, not to beco an enemy of the Tang Family.
“Mom and Dad, the Tang Family didn’t even dare to bury you in the cetery after you died, what does my surna Tang even matter?
But since you’ve said these words, I won’t oppose them.
Who am I but your son?
Rest assured!” Tang Zhong muttered to himself, his heart aching imnsely.
No son, upon learning of his parents’ death in such a manner, could remain composed.
But Tang Zhong heeded his parents’ words; he would not seek out the Tang Family.
“That moat?” Tang Zhong asked, wanting to see for himself.
The water in the moat does not flow; if his parents’ ashes were there ten years ago, then their souls would be there too!
“It’s to the west of the city; shall I have Tang Lin take you there?” Tang Ran said.
“No need, I will go by myself!” Tang Zhong said.
“Then, Tang Zhong, consider coming back to the Tang Family in the future!” Tang Ran said.
“There’s no need.
The Tang Family…
I don’t want to return.
If it weren’t for the fact that my dad’s surna is Tang, I would have abandoned this surna long ago!” Tang Zhong said, then turned and walked away.
He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Just as Tang Zhong exited the room, Tang Ran’s eyes quickly turned vicious.
Before long, Tang Lin hurried in.
He had been waiting at the door.
Seeing Tang Zhong leave, he entered and said, “Dad, how did it go, did Tang Zhong agree to stay with the Tang Family?”
“It failed!” Tang Ran said with a ferocious look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Tang Lin clenched his fists, “That damned guy, he actually doesn’t want to stay with the Tang Family!”
“Who knew this guy would go to the Tang Family cetery…
unexpectedly striking a blow, discovered those two old ones weren’t buried!” Tang Ran said with anger.
“Did he ask where those two old ones are?
Aren’t they in our hands?
You didn’t spill the beans, did you?
We can’t let that slip.
What I want is the thing on Tang Zhong’s person, we absolutely can’t let him get away with it!” Tang Lin said.
“Don’t worry, he won’t.
Since he’s not coming back on his own, then we’ll just take action directly and seize what he has.
After all, I have been watching him for more than ten years!” Tang Ran said with a cold laugh.
“Yes, dad!”
