Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Kicking Someone When They’re Down

"Ah!" Yang Yu let out a loud shout, jolting awake from his sleep to find that he had somehow rolled off the couch while holding Shen Silin.

Shen Silin didn’t show any sign of blame but instead asked with concern, "Had a nightmare?"

"That... you could say so." Yang Yu didn’t quite know how to put it—half of it was a good dream, the other half was a nightmare. He couldn’t possibly tell Shen Silin about the first half of his dream, could he?

"You’re under a lot of pressure; it’s understandable," Shen Silin said. "Find more capable people to help share the load, try not to exhaust yourself too much. When you get the chance, do something to decompress."

"Mm." Yang Yu nodded, holding Shen Silin tightly, "How about we play again to relieve some stress?"

Shen Silin: "..."

In Yu State, Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect had just finished holding a funeral ceremony, and a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the Tang Sect, shouting loudly, "I’m a relative of Tang Ye, and ever since he followed the Sect Leader abroad, he never came back. Doesn’t the Tang Sect owe us an explanation?"

"I’m a relative of Tang Bozhen; please, the Tang Sect must give us an explanation!"

"Please, the Tang Sect must give us an explanation!"

All these people were family members of Tang Sect disciples who had gone with Tang Zongxiao to the Southern Ocean. With the Tang Sect completely annihilated and not even the bodies retrieved, the families’ anger was entirely justified.

A young man came to the gate and said to everyone, "My uncles and brothers, I’m truly sorry. They, along with my dad, are all dead. I’m just as heartbroken as all of you. I know that no amount of money can make up for the pain of losing loved ones, but that’s all I can offer—to give each family some money so that the disciples’ families can get by a little better..."

"Tang Xu, you said it!" a middle-aged man in his forties spoke up, "Not much, just compensate each person two million, does anyone disagree?"

"Right, considering the Tang Sect has been good to them, two million it is!"

"Two million per person?" Tang Xu did a quick calculation; this would amount to about a hundred million!

However, he understood that if two million per person would settle things, it was not really an issue. The problem was that he didn’t have that much money!

"My uncles and brothers, I’ll compensate each of you with two million, but I don’t have that much cash on hand right now," Tang Xu explained. "How about this, give me seven days, and I’ll sell all of the Tang Family’s properties and distribute the proceeds to everyone evenly. If it’s still not enough, I’ll write an IOU and try to get the money to everyone as soon as possible."

The crowd looked at each other and nodded in agreement: "Fine, considering the Tang Sect has treated us well, we’ll do as you said..."

"Two million per person? You wish!" A middle-aged woman burst out, cursing at everyone, "You people have received plenty of benefits from the Tang Sect over the years, haven’t you? I’m not asking for much, just a few million per person. Now that the Tang Sect is in trouble, not only do you not help, but you also kick us while we’re down, demanding money from us. Are you trying to drive us to our deaths?"

This middle-aged woman was none other than He Fengmei, wife of Tang Zongxiao.

Seeing his mother making a scene at this crucial moment, Tang Xu quickly tried to intervene, "Mom, let me handle this... "

But Tang Xu’s attempt to calm the situation was evidently too late; the crowd was already infuriated by He Fengmei’s outburst, "Heh, if that’s how you want to play it, then no need for us to hold back any longer. Five million per person, or it’s not over!"

"Heh, you don’t get money, but if you want a life, I have one to take!" He Fengmei continued her tirade, "If you dare, go ahead and destroy the Tang Sect!"

"That was what you asked for yourself!" A group of people indeed rushed into the Tang Sect, causing destruction and vandalism within.

"Stop it, stop it!" He Fengmei tried to stop them, but how could she?

She was pushed by someone, falling to the ground and dislocating her wrist: "Ah—"

"Mom!" Tang Xu hurried to help He Fengmei up, pulling her aside, and set her wrist bone back in place, "Mom, I’m begging you, please don’t get involved anymore!"

"Shut up!" He Fengmei, tears streaming down her face, yelled, "When your dad was around, these ungrateful wretches wouldn’t dare to be so rampant! Do they think we’re easy to bully just because we’re a widow and an orphan? These beasts!"

Tang Xu was also on the verge of tears: "Mom, please don’t..."

"I said shut up!" He Fengmei shouted angrily, "Why aren’t you at all like your dad or your brother? You’re as weak as a woman, and with you, the Tang Family will never have hope for revival!"

"Aunt Tang, if it weren’t for this kind of upbringing, Tang Kuo wouldn’t have made mistake after mistake until he finally died in Tianhai City." Qi Yufei walked over, looking at He Fengmei with a fierce gaze, "Whether a man is responsible is not just about whether he can be senselessly violent, but whether he can bear responsibilities."

"Forgive me for being blunt, but just now Tang Xu took on everything and had settled the matter, yet you, this foolish old woman, insisted on exacerbating the conflict, making things worse. Do you still think you are justified?"

"Look at the Tang Family now, does it still look like the Tang Family? Are you satisfied with what it’s become?"

It was only then that He Fengmei noticed the Tang Family had been smashed into a mess; except for the walls that hadn’t been torn down, everything else that could be smashed had been!

Qi Yufei ignored He Fengmei and shouted loudly: "Each person must pay two million, I will pay it, stop right now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"

At Qi Yufei’s roar, everyone immediately stopped.

They had heard of Qi Yufei’s reputation, at least to some extent, so naturally, there was no issue with her credibility.

Since Qi Yufei had stepped in, they naturally didn’t say anything more and left.

Looking at the once glorious Tang Sect reduced to this state of decay, Tang Xu couldn’t help but burst into tears: "Grandfather, dad, I am sorry, I couldn’t protect our family business, sob..."

"Okay, stop crying," Qi Yufei snorted, "The Qi Yun Gang is almost done for too, do you see me crying? Although your mother is a bastard, she was correct about one thing. If you’re a man, you have to act like one!"

"You!" He Fengmei glared furiously, but she didn’t dare to do anything to Qi Yufei and could only storm off in a huff.

She was just an ordinary person, unable to outfight or outshout them, what could she do?

Tang Xu wiped away his tears, looking at Qi Yufei with red eyes: "Yufei, thank you for helping me. I’m going to sell off the Tang Family’s assets now, and the rest of the money I’ll borrow from you. Trust me, even if it takes my entire life, I will repay this debt to you..."

"No need to repay it, nor to borrow it, I will give you the money." A man stepped into the Tang Family, his face beaming with a smile.

"Young Master Li?" Qi Yufei glanced at Li Chengze, "What kind of wind blew you from Yanjing to Yu State?"

"Of course, I heard about Master Tang, Tang Zongxiao’s affair." Li Chengze let out a long sigh, "Young Master Tang, if you are willing to hand over all secret manuals of the Tang Sect, I am willing to offer five billion."
