Chapter 46.2
Editor: Jodi
With Ai Mo’s interruption, the mood between them had deflated. Tang Zhou curled up in his chair like a boneless cat, chatting lazily with Fu Shen without much enthusiasm.
“I want to arrange a paternity test for Tang Zhen and Tang Tianyang.”
Fu Shen squeezed his hand. “Okay.”
“The weather is getting colder.”
“Hmm?”
Tang Zhou rambled on, “Last time you had Mi Shu investigate Longxin Real Estate, did he find anything?”
“Yes.” Fu Shen’s expression turned cold. “Several of Longxin’s construction projects have issues, and there are also cases of tax evasion.”
He had originally planned to use this information to bring Longxin down quietly, but when Tang Zhou reported Tang Zhen, he put those plans on hold.
Tang Zhou smiled faintly, “Let’s make Longxin disappear first.”
It had sucked up so much, there was no reason for it to exist anymore.
Fu Shen: “Alright.”
The two of them were decisive and efficient by nature, hence after they decided to take down Longxin, they didn’t waste any time.
The day they had planned to take off was quickly consumed by work.
Tang Zhou didn’t intend to inform the Old Man about Tang Tianyang just yet.
He just continued with his original plan, and that was to strengthen Hua Yue steadily.

Tang Tianyang, who had just gotten a handle on the company’s affairs, suddenly received a call from Long City.
“What do you want now?” He lowered his voice as he spoke.
The person on the other end was brazen, “Longxin is being investigated. Hurry up and send me money.”
“Investigated?” Tang Tianyang frowned deeply, “What do you need the money for?”
“Of course it’s to run away with it. Stop wasting time and hurry up!”
“How much do you want?” Tang Tianyang gripped his phone tightly.
If he could, he would have strangled the person on the other end a hundred times over.
This person’s existence was his biggest threat.
“You’re in charge of the Tang family now, so one hundred million should be easy for you, right?” The person on the other end sneered.
Tang Tianyang didn’t even hesitate as he said, “Where would I get that kind of money?!”
Although he had entered the core circle of the Tang family, he didn’t actually have that much money.
A hundred million? What a ridiculous demand!
“I remember when Tang Zhen was investing in real estate, he threw around millions at a time. Altogether, it must have been tens or even hundreds of millions, right?”
And this was just what had been found out—there could be even more that hadn’t been uncovered.
Tang Tianyang: “….”
He had heard his parents mention these things before, but he wasn’t clear on the exact amounts. But now, hearing it all at once, he was completely stunned.
Although Tang Zhen had never withheld money from him, the most he ever did was buy luxury goods. When had he ever dealt with such vast amounts?
Even during his collaboration with Ying Teng the last time, he hadn’t really grasped the extent of the Tang family’s wealth.
He admitted that he was tempted.
“But you’re also aware that Tang Zhen has been reported. If I give you that much now, I’ll be the next one reported.”
Tang Tianyang sneered, “So you’ll never see another cent.”
The other side was silent for a moment before replying darkly, “If I can’t get any money, neither will you.”
Tang Tianyang was startled, “What do you mean by that?!”
“The truth can’t be hidden forever.” The person on the other end said with disdain, “Do you think Longxin was investigated by coincidence?”
“Are you saying…” Tang Tianyang denied it quickly, “Impossible! It’s because you didn’t handle things properly that you’re being investigated. It’s only natural!”
The person was just trying to scare him. He didn’t actually believe Tang Tianyang’s true identity had been discovered.
Because if it had really been exposed, how could only Longxin be under investigation?
“I just want the money.” The person on the other end insisted. “Once I get it, I’ll leave the country and never contact you again.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Tang Tianyang didn’t believe a word of it. After all these years, he had already seen through this man’s greedy nature.
His biological father was nothing but a gambler—no matter how much money one gave him, it would never be enough.
Longxin Real Estate was just a front to deceive that fool Tang Zhen. In reality, it was merely that man’s personal ATM.
The overwhelming sense of crisis made Tang Tianyang wish this man would disappear forever.
Gritting his teeth, he said, “I’ve just gained the old man’s trust, so I can’t touch company assets. I’ll sell my cars and houses, and whatever I can scrape together is what you’ll get, you can take it or leave it.”
The Ying Teng incident had already caused the board to be dissatisfied with him. If he repeated Tang Zhen’s mistakes, the only thing waiting for him would be the “death penalty”.
The person on the other end was displeased with his attitude and cursed him angrily, “Useless thing!”
Tang Tianyang had always been compared to Tang Zhou, with him constantly hearing how he fell short, so he hated being told he was useless.
Hence the man’s words hit a nerve, and in that instant, a murderous intent rose up within him.
“If you’ve got the guts, then expose everything! Let’s all go down together, and see if you ever get another penny!” He snarled into the phone then hung up.
He refused to believe that he couldn’t outdo Tang Zhou!

Tang Zhou who was walking towards the parking lot suddenly sneezed.
It really was getting colder.
Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out, and the corners of his lips drooped immediately.
[Fu Shen]: Baby, I have to work late tonight, and so won’t be able to come home for dinner.
Deep Blue’s project seemed to have reached a critical stage lately, so Fu Shen had been working overtime often, which made it so that the two of them hadn’t had any quality time together.
Thinking about his upcoming business trip abroad tomorrow, Tang Zhou felt even more depressed.
He had thought that they could finally indulge in some intimate time together after his birthday, but work kept getting in the way.
When will this ever end?
*
After his evening shower, Tang Zhou lay in bed, then couldn’t help but feel a bit envious as he watched Xiao Bai and Xiao Zong snuggle up together.
He would definitely take Fu Shen somewhere where no one could disturb them and have the perfect, long vacation once Deep Blue succeeded, once Hua Yue soared, and once all those messy things were taken care of!
