Chapter 226: Chapter 193 Kill without mercy (Subscribe!)_1
At this point, Tang Kai seemed to have remembered something and asked nervously, "Speaking of Tangtang, what happened to the people who kidnapped me and Xiong Zhiyang?"
This isn’t like being overseas, a murder case is a big deal domestically. He didn’t want Tang Qing to impulsively cause a disaster. Even if Tang Qing’s friend had sky-reaching influence, Tang Qing would still have this hanging over his head for the rest of his life. This was what he was most worried about.
"Xiong Zhiyang only kidnapped you for the contract, and didn’t plan on killing you, so I didn’t make things difficult for him. After questioning, I punished them slightly and let them go. My friend even scared them a bit, I believe that Xiong Zhiyang will not dare to contact that CEO in the future." Tang Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this comforted Tang Kai. He sighed and said, "I see, I thought you had done something to them. Although Xiong Zhiyang has wronged me, we have known each other for many years, and I don’t have the heart to touch him."
As for the slight punishment Tang Qing mentioned, he didn’t ask. As long as no one was killed, the fact that they had been sent away was enough.
Tang Qing suddenly changed his expression and said seriously, "Second uncle, I have a few questions now, and I hope you will tell the truth."
"What questions?" Tang Kai looked up questioningly, his heart tightening. He didn’t know what Tang Qing was going to ask, and the slightly imposing aura emanating from him gave off a feeling of a high-ranking official or another tycoon. Well, it must be an illusion.
"The first question, who is your enemy in China that has kept you from returning home for so many years? Please tell the truth, second uncle. This involves your safety and is also very important to me. My parents have always kept this from me. We are family, and I don’t want you to lie to me." Tang Qing asked earnestly.
He really didn’t like being kept in the dark, so he had to clarify this matter today. It was not only out of curiosity, but also concerned the safety of his parents and other relatives. If there was a threat, he had to eliminate it as soon as possible to prevent any irreversible things from happening.
Seeing Tang Qing’s determinate expression and seriousness in his tone, Tang Kai didn’t speak immediately, but stared down at the teacup in his hand. Long-forgotten memories slowly surged up, replaying like scenes in his mind. A mix of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy emotions filled his mind, and he couldn’t stop his eyes from moistening. After all, which wanderer doesn’t miss home?
After a moment of reflection, Tang Kai decided to reveal the reasons that caused him to leave his hometown and be unable to return.!
As it turned out, when second uncle Tang Kai was working in a neighboring city, he accidentally met his second aunt while heroically rescuing a lady. Naturally, they got along well and started seeing each other. However, second aunt’s family disapproved and, sticking to the tradition of obeying parental orders and matchmaker’s words, they wanted her to marry the profligate son of the director of the steel factory where her father worked. Facing such a scumbag who had hurt countless girls, second aunt naturally refused and chose to stay with Tang Kai.
When the director’s son learned of Tang Kai, he brought people to teach Tang Kai a lesson. Of course, Tang Kai was no match for them and suffered severe injuries. But out of desperation, he hit back and managed to cripple the young man. Yes, exactly like that.
The subsequent events were simple. To avoid the revenge of the steel factory director and ending up ’disabled’ as well, second uncle Tang Kai immediately said his goodbyes to second aunt and fled. Always on the run, he dared not go home and became a wanted criminal. But at that time, the news was not well circulated, and since it wasn’t a case of death or serious injury, the pursuers were not very diligent.
Therefore, Tang Qing’s grandfather paid a lot of compensation, and the other family also caused a scene at their door. The mother of the crippled son came to curse with her disabled son a few times, almost leading to fights. But the Tang family tolerated it. They had no choice, they couldn’t fight them. After a few visits, they stopped coming. It was heard that they went to seek medical treatment for their crippled son. The spoiled son also harshly declared that he would kill Tang Kai, and if the Tang family dared to harbor him, he would not let go of any of them.
After hiding outside for about half a year, Tang Kai sneaked home one night. He was severely beaten by Tang Qing’s grandfather and then fled to other provinces with two thousand yuan given by Tang’s father. It seemed that the unruly son had bought off some people in the village, so if they found out about Tang Kai’s whereabouts, they would immediately report it and there were hefty rewards for catching him.
Before leaving, second uncle went to visit second aunt’s family to say his goodbyes. Second aunt’s father had lost his job at the iron factory due to his son’s disability and started a small business. But that spoiled son didn’t seem to have been cured, he became more and more perverse, causing trouble every few days. So Tang Kai also left one thousand five hundred yuan. In the end, seeing his daughter washing her face with tears every day, and seeing Tang Kai’s loyalty and kindness, the second aunt’s father decided to let him take the daughter away as well.
After that, second uncle took second aunt to Yunnan Province with a trader from the neighbouring village. Borrowing some money from his boldness, he started a business by trading medicinal herbs and lived there for two years. Unexpectedly, he learned that the steel factory director had been transferred to the vice mayor of that city. Scared, he quickly took his second aunt and his newly born female cousin to flee the country.
It was not too difficult for the steel factory director, who was already at the deputy hall level, to be transferred to the vice mayor at that time.
Seeing the other party becoming more powerful and influential, if they chased him, he would be in trouble. So second uncle moved a few times more before bring second aunt with him to Bangkok. He was also engaged in medicinal herbs business for a few years. Later, he accidentally met Wei Jun’s father and son who came to Bangkok for market research. They chatted very happily and with the thought of lending a hand, Wei Xiong decided to cooperate with him and asked second uncle to act as an agent. It was from then on that Tang Kai started doing the jewelry business, and of course, he never gave up the medicinal herbs business.
Although he made a lot of money abroad, there might be people in the village watching, and he didn’t know who they were. If the Tang family suddenly had a lot of money, it might raise suspicions. If that person insisted that his father harbored him, then Tang Qing and others would be in trouble. So, he never sent money to his family.
About six years ago, a fellow villager casually mentioned that the father of the profligate son had gone into business again. Since then, Tang Kai has been paying attention to the news of that family. Relying on their connections, they started the steel business again. Later, they gradually increased the industries of building materials, construction, real estate, transportation, energy, etc. Now they are already one of the top three tycoons in the province. They were simply not someone he could afford to offend.
And that spoiled brat’s hurt still hasn’t healed to this day, so he never gave up on finding Second Uncle’s whereabouts. But Second Uncle never contacted home and did a good job of keeping his past a secret. Even his friends don’t know where he came from. Moreover, he is abroad. How could the guy possibly find any clues?
......
After hearing all this, Tang Qing had one feeling
------Cliché, every plot point is cliché, it’s like a collection of cliché anecdotes.
Indeed there is nothing new under the sun.
Just like a Qiongyao drama.
No, even more clichéd than a Qiongyao drama.
That so called gentlemen, come out and I promise I won’t beat you to death.
Of course, he dares not to complain too openly about his Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s experiences, they are his elders, so he can only listen quietly.
Before this, Tang Qing had never encountered any significant rivals or enemies. They were mostly friends, or minor henchmen who could be easily crushed. But this surprise appearance of a formidable opponent was completely unexpected!
Getting rid of the opposite party would be easy, he could simply send a bodyguard to dispatch them.
But now the other party is also a victim. They’ve been unable to act for so many years, and their suffering is enough to drive one to death. Fortunately, they are not the only descendants in their family. They have a brother. Otherwise, if Tang Kai had made their family extinct, the other party wouldn’t have allowed the Tang family to live peacefully until now.
Second Uncle is also a victim. He has been exiled for many years, experienced many hardships, and faced countless dangers abroad.
It’s not that Tang Qing sympathizes with that spoiled brat; it’s just that he can’t simply wipe out their whole family because of this. He’s not insane. If he only killed one person, the other family would probably take revenge on his family directly. According to Tang Kai’s description, the Tang family is just bait. If the son dies, then the bait has no value, and they would end up confronting them directly.
He’s caught in a dilemma.
Should he take the initiative and eliminate the other party?
Or should he wait for the other party to make a move first?
Tang Qing was truly speechless for a moment. Some things are clear-cut, either black or white, and it’s easy to make judgments. Like in novels, where there’s a clear distinction between good and evil, those against the protagonist are meant to die. Yet, some things are gray, leaving everyone in a bad situation and making it hard to decide when the killing is not fully justified.
Damn it, let’s just send someone to investigate the other party’s situation for now. If the people on the other side are morally corrupted, and all they can think of is revenge against Second Uncle and his family, he won’t care about justifying his actions. Four words, kill without mercy.
Protecting family is a valid reason.
Eliminating threats is a valid reason too.
Eliminating threats to protect the family is the most valid reason.
