Hmm…” Grandfather Tang squinted his eyes, a glint flashing within his eyes. “Continue.”
“That is all,” Tang Yuan replied abruptly.
“That is all?! You piece of crap! You dare say that is all after reaching the main point? Do you have a death wish?” Grandfather Tang became greatly angered and lashed out with a kick on Tang Yuan’s buttocks. “With just this little bit, how could you be certain that Qin Hu’s Northern City Clan have anything to do with the theft case? What exactly happened? Tell me everything from the beginning! If there are any parts that are unclear, I will rip out your fat skin!”
Tang Yuan became frustrated. Seeing that he cannot bluff his way out, he obediently reported everything that had happened.
Grandfather Tang squinted his eyes as he listened. When he heard about Jun Moxie accusing the Northern City Clan being associated with the theft case, he interrupted Tang Yuan and asked. “Could it be that bastard Jun Moxie has beef with the Northern City Clan?”
“Huh? No! How could that be? Considering his character, if he had any grudge with the Northern City Clan, he would have flattened that little clan a long time ago. How could Northern City Clan still survive if such was the case?” Tang Yuan quickly denied.
“Indeed, Jun Moxie should not be trying to frame Qin Hu. Simply based on the Jun Family’s power, there was no need for him to push such a matter to our side. However, I am somewhat unable to trust that Jun Moxie. That being said, he should not be someone who could conceive a high level strategy to harm others,” Grandfather Tang stroked his beard.
“But… grandpa, the Xuan Core is simply too important for our family. At a time like this, it is better for us to believe in something than nothing,” Seeing his plans about to come to fruition, Tang Yuan quickly added.
“Correct! I would rather believe in something than nothing at all! Besides, it is only small gang from the underworld, can I not move against them? I can just consider this an act of helping the common people in getting rid of a nest of evils!” Grandfather Tang violently stood up.
“Saying that the Northern City Clan is connected to the theft case based on that incident alone is indeed far-fetched. However, the great clans within the city had been acting over the line recently. Especially this Northern City Clan; I hear that they have done no small number of evil deeds. In addition, the investigation into the Xuan Core had omitted these few clans. Since that is the case, I might as well catch those from Northern City Clan and interrogate them first. Hopefully, we can find a lead there,” Grandfather Tang thought about it. Even though he did not place much hopes into it, if there was even a glimmer of hope, then he had to at least check it out.
“Relay my orders, all those at the Ninth level Xuan Qi and above are to assemble immediately. We will be taking action tonight! Remember, until the matter is over, they must not kill senselessly! I need information from them!”
“Understood!” Tang Yuan was overjoyed. Third Young Master Jun’s method was indeed amazing. His grandfather’s treatment towards him had already changed, haha…
This plan from Jun Xie was fundamentally born of his distaste for the Northern City Clan. Those that earned the Evil Monarch’s ire can forget about living a good life. However, Jun Xie had too many concerns about the aftermath of moving against them by himself. Thus, he pushed this matter onto Tang Yuan.
As for Tang Yuan, the reason he accepted this role was simply to make his life more bearable. He could no longer stand being treated like a mouse in his own house, being beaten and cursed at every day.
As for Grandfather Tang, he decided to act on it because he was holding on to the hope that it was related to the Xuan Core. After all, having hope is better than having no hope. Besides, he could also use this opportunity to wipe out a harmful group for the sake of the common people. No matter what result this incident brought, as long as he could publicize the list of crimes that the Northern City Clan had committed, the reputation of the Tang Family would rise by one level. That way, his actions would gain the support of the masses.
