The explosion was so loud, but it didn't wake Zhang Kexin from her coma.
Looking at the snow-covered ground with nothing left after the blast, Tang Rao helplessly picked up the longsword and then carried Zhang Kexin in his arms.
Zhang Kexin couldn't continue to sleep in the icy snow while Tang Rao paid no attention to her, right?
"I'm taking you ho this ti; it won't happen again."
Zhang Kexin was dazedly taken away, still imrsed in the panic. When she awoke from the nightmare, Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Wang were guarding Zhang Kexin's room.
"Sister, you finally woke up."
Zhang Kexin is the Zhang family's treasured jewel, deeply loved; when Tang Rao carried her back, everyone in the Zhang family had their hearts in their throats.
"How did I get back, brother? Did Tang Rao co by?"
There were visible marks of crying in Zhang Kexin's eyes. She didn't speak, and the family didn't dare to ask more.
"Sister? You don't rember anything?"
Zhang Wang touched Zhang Kexin's forehead; there were no signs of a fever.
"Should I rember sothing? After An Sheng, I don't know anything."
Zhang Kexin hazily felt that Tang Rao seed to appear in front of them.
"It was Tang Rao who brought you back. He carried you, seeming quite worried about you."
Before Zhang Wang spoke the last sentence, Zhang Kexin was indifferent, but after hearing it, she seed invigorated.
"Really? Was Tang Rao really worried about ? Where is he?"
Zhang Kexin said joyfully.
"He left first due to so matters."
Zhang Wang didn't want to deceive Zhang Kexin but also didn't want to tell her the truth to make her sad.
Knowing Zhang Kexin's relationship with Tang Rao, Zhang Wang understood that if Tang Rao didn't want to do sothing, no one could force him.
"Did Tang Rao really leave no ssage? Did he say anything?"
Even a word of concern would make Zhang Kexin feel slightly better.
"I forgot; everyone was focused on you, there was no ti to rember what Tang Rao might have said to you."
Zhang Wang didn't dare to tell Zhang Kexin that Tang Rao actually said nothing before leaving her.
But to a sister who ca back from the dead, the possibility of seeing Tang Rao was her faith to keep on living.
"Oh, well, that's fine, brother, I want to be alone for a while; can you all leave, please?"
Zhang Kexin's eyes were void; she gazed out the door, yet never saw the man she yearned for day and night.
Tang Rao couldn't put his ti on Zhang Kexin; he directly found Family Head Liu, now sitting in Liu's redwood chair, sipping tea and smoking while complexly observing Family Head Liu.
"What, you're not kidding , right? Really killed An Sheng?"
Family Head Liu's heart was in his throat.
In the Business Alliance, everyone's a big shot with power; the An family leads the Alliance, their strength unmatched, but now Tang Rao actually told Family Head Liu he killed An Sheng.
"Really, I even took photos of the corpse fragnts; do you want to see them?"
Family Head Liu didn't know what a photo was; it should be sothing like evidence. Hearing Tang Rao's bold confession, it was hard for Family Head Liu not to believe.
"No need, I believe you. I'm sure the An family already knows about An Sheng's situation; they must've sent people."
Family Head Liu knew the An family too well to predict their response.
"So what if they send people? If I dared to act, I dare to face An family's revenge."
Tang Rao never feared An Sheng and feared the An family even less.
What good does having a powerful old Family Head do for the An family when Tang Rao holds the Zhang family ancestor's Divine Sense?
The old ancestor can counter three, he could take down the entire An family in one fell swoop.
This was the promise the ancestor made to Tang Rao, and not once had he used any of the three promises.
"Tang Rao, don't underestimate An family's power. Besides the two An family generations, there's Mr. An, the late-stage deity ancestor's strength, ah, rely speaking of it strikes fear."
Family Head Liu's kind advice couldn't make Tang Rao back down. He said his piece, if Tang Rao still chose to dive into troubled waters, that was Tang Rao's affair.
Family Head Liu couldn't risk himself for fighting the An family, nor would he willingly; chucking a thousand enemy heads while losing eight hundred of his own, dare he not, want he not.
"I know, rest assured I wouldn't involve Family Head Liu, nor make you uncomfortable; but with the economic pressure on An family, I'll need a little help from you here."
In tis of need, Family Head Liu's willingness to help Tang Rao was kindness; his unwillingness was his prerogative. Regardless of his involvent, Tang Rao should maintain a tolerant heart.
"Just economic pressure, nothing else?"
Family Head Liu couldn't believe all Tang Rao needed was rely that.
"That's really it, wanna help? Or won't allow you, not gonna put you in a tough spot."
Tang Rao, being considerate and caring, would never press Family Head Liu hard.
"Tang Rao, what are you saying, we're brothers; it's my honor to go through the trouble for a brother. What you said estranges our relationship."
Strict economic blockade, Family Head Liu's support for Tang Rao would surely be wholehearted, but to support Tang Rao in battling An family, Family Head Liu wouldn't leap forward risking everything.
"Then thank you, Family Head Liu, I have more admiration and respect for you; dealing with the An family is my battle—the stature of Liu family mbers shouldn't be entangled in such disturbances."
Not a word out of place in Tang Rao's prior remarks, but in the latter, Family Head Liu sensed the underlying aning.
"Tang Rao my friend, such words make , as a brother, dissatisfied."
Family Head Liu's face felt like ants were crawling all over, hot and stinging, akin to being slapped, Tang Rao's words rendered him uneasy.
"I ant nothing of ill intent, just purely don't wish to drag you into our conflict. Think within the Business Alliance, even if An family were gone, who dare assert a move during such tis?"
There's logic in Tang Rao's words, and Family Head Liu pondered much due to this matter.
He wished to harness connection with Tang Rao, to aid in so way, yet hadn't made up his mind to stake the entire Liu family.
"Don't ntion such things; brother, it's you who understands , knows my thoughts. Thus, should you ever need my help, I'll ensure I do my utmost to support you."
Family Head Liu's capabilities reached such limits, his promises to Tang Rao were few, only able to provide future assurance to Tang Rao.
