Chapter Nine, Funeral

A series of barks came from the other end of the flowerbed

Lisi, have you seen the old man over there by the flowerbed who is hunched over?

More importantly, Tang has long been known for his ruthless reputation in certain circles

Suddenly, more than a dozen burly bodyguards emerged behind him, directly escorting the reporters out towards the estate.

Tang Wen does not appreciate oil paintings; he merely looks at these oil paintings and then at the body in the mourning hall, and he always feels a bit heavy-hearted.

Lis opened the umbrella, shielding herself from the fine rain

The middle-aged man did not struggle, nor did he even dare to speak, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes

The old man suddenly raised his head

Are you alright

While the burial ceremony was still ongoing, Tang Wen left the crowd and walked alone to the flowerbed beside the estate

A crisp sound

He looked up at the sky, which was not favorable; it was overcast, and occasionally a few scattered raindrops fell.

In the early years, many of Tang Zheng's competitors either died or disappeared, and many speculated that it was related to Tang Zheng, but there was simply no evidence.

Such a ruthless and merciless figure, who among the Yang family's relatives, a group of unlearned and incompetent rabble, would dare to provoke him

The mourning hall suddenly fell silent again

The elderly person murmured softly, continuously repeating this phrase

These oil paintings are very abstract

Several crows are circling above the manor, emitting a repulsive sound

Today, although it is the funeral of the Yang family members, this middle-aged man is dressed anything but simply, wearing a large gold chain around his neck and a golden pocket watch on his chest

Moreover, this slap was quite forceful, leaving several distinct fingerprints on the middle-aged man's face, which are likely to take several days to fade away

The peculiar old man I just saw has unexpectedly vanished, and I have no idea where he has gone

Bang

Once the burial ceremony is concluded, the funeral is essentially over

The middle-aged man covered his mouth and shouted in a panic.

Tang Wen looked up and discovered that it was a stray dog, which had somehow wandered into the estate.

Throw all these reporters out

Snap

He looked around again; basically, everyone attending the funeral was here, but he indeed did not see that hunched old man

A luxurious convoy consisting of more than ten black sedans slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Yang's Manor

Tang Wen inquired.

Swish

I do not know why, but the other party's pupils were completely white, and the skin on their face resembled old tree bark, piled together, looking extremely terrifying

It is unclear who brought the reporters here, or whether the reporters came of their own accord, as the case of the Yang family pertains to a series of homicides, which certainly holds significant news value

However, seeing Tang Wen's face as沉似水, he strode into the manor, and Tang Zheng also slightly shook his head and similarly entered the manor

Tang Wen inquired of the old man

... ...

Outside the Yang family manor, a few masked figures in black were staring intently at the manor

After the farewell to the remains, the coffin is sealed, and finally, the burial takes place

The cemetery is located behind the manor

Tang Wen looked up and glanced at the walls surrounding the mourning hall, where many oil paintings adorned the pristine white walls

He did not continue to inquire, but instead turned and left

Tang Wen further inquired

Young Master Tang

Xiaowen's words are my words

Tang Wen walked over. The old man was dressed very neatly, but it was unclear whose family member he was.

Woof woof woof

The terror etched on her face could not be completely smoothed over, and her once beautiful features now appeared somewhat frightening

The final part is the journalist

You are dead, you are all dead, hehehe ... ...

However, it is chaotic inside, and there are reporters taking photographs

Now it has unexpectedly disappeared

At this moment, the hall of Yang Family Manor has been arranged as a mourning hall

Even Tang Wen was taken aback, involuntarily taking a step back

Tang Wenxin felt increasingly agitated, as if he were sensing an invisible pressure, akin to an intangible net that made him feel more and more oppressed

The oil paintings stared intently, crooked and tilted, as if they had transformed into swirling vortices, ready to draw people into the canvas.

Tang Wen shook his head

Having spoken, the group of masked mysterious individuals swiftly vanished without a trace.

Who did you bring?

Tang Wen unexpectedly slapped a middle-aged man in front of a large crowd

Yet in Tang Wen's eyes, she remains that gentle and gracious girl, his fiancée

However, Tang Wen shook his head, not hiding under the umbrella, but instead striding directly into the manor

One must find a way to investigate inside Yangjia Manor

Tang Wen watched Yang Ruixue's burial, feeling a bit suffocated in his heart

Tang Wen's gaze swept coldly over the members of the Yang family as he said, "I am the fiancé of Yang Ruixue! I do not concern myself with your struggle for the Yang family's assets, but today is the funeral of the Yang family, a farewell ceremony for Ruixue. I only wish to quietly see Ruixue off on her final journey; anyone who causes a disturbance will be dealt with accordingly"

They are not afraid of Tang Wen, but they are very fearful of Tang Zheng

Go back, go back immediately

Moreover, judging by the voice, the age should not be great

In an instant, the entire mourning hall fell silent

Lisi is a bit confused

At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped out

The middle-aged man's face was swollen, to the extent that he could not even speak

Tang Wenyih waved his hand

The farewell ceremony for the remains lasted for two hours

Most of them are relatives of the Yang family, but in fact, they are all individuals vying for the Yang family's assets

Rui Xue's entire body has been stitched up, and her face has also been made up

At this moment, many people have gathered at Yangjia Manor

Tang Wen walked in, and countless gazes instantly focused on him.

Some relatives of the Yang family furrowed their brows slightly as they looked at Tang Wen, clearly a bit displeased

What has died? Who has died?

It is barking wildly at a hunched old man

The stray dog's eyes were a vivid green, and it was unclear whether it was driven by hunger, but it surprisingly attempted to charge at the old man and bite him

I will go in the evening; the matter of the pollutants must be confirmed

Suddenly, several bodyguards behind him forcibly took the middle-aged man away

The speaker is a woman, her face concealed by a mask, yet her black leather attire accentuates her excellent figure

Tang Wen, dressed in black, stepped out of the car

Tang Wen's expression darkened upon seeing those reporters

Those reporters were all brought in by us. Given the great misfortune that has befallen the Yang family, we should leverage the power of the media to uncover the true culprit. Yet you have driven the reporters away, which seems a bit excessive, doesn't it

The oil painting has returned to normal, perhaps it was all just his illusion

Tang Wen! You... you are too arrogant. This is Yang's Manor, and the Yang family is in charge here. I am a relative of the Yang family, what are you?

Tang Weny kicked the stray dog away

There is also a group of individuals closely related to the Yang family's business; these individuals are here to observe and assess the situation

"Hunchbacked old man? Young master, there is simply no hunchbacked old man today."

Even the stray dogs have disappeared; just now, Tang Zheng's kick was quite heavy, and the stray dog struggled but could not get up.

After all, the current situation of the Yang family is truly dire, and they must consider whether to continue their collaboration with the Yang family's company

Alright, Lanya, this matter is entrusted to you. Go to Yang's Manor for an investigation this evening

The situation seems a bit off; there have been no leads in the previous series of serial murders, and only this Yang Family Manor remains.

The old man's white eyes were fixed intently on Tang Wen, as if he could see right through him, and his laughter was also quite piercing, making Tang Wen feel a bit uneasy inside

They are dead, dead, all dead

Tang Wenxin was taken aback

After all, Tang Zhengbai started from scratch and established a vast enterprise in Turan City, becoming a paper industry tycoon with immense prestige

Tang Wen arrived before the body of Yang Ruixue

Tang Zheng finished speaking and pointed at the middle-aged man, saying: "Throw him out"

A few people were conversing in low voices

The stray dog is emaciated, appearing as if it would topple over with a mere gust of wind

Although there are still some processes to follow, Tang Wen no longer wishes to stay here

The numerous relatives of the Yang family are the same.

The flowerbed is devoid of flowers, all have withered, and even the green branches have dried up

Tang Wen walked up and stood in front of the middle-aged man

What am I?

Many relatives of the Yang family are quite dissatisfied with Tang Wen

At this moment, Tang Zheng entered the mourning hall with a cane. His demeanor was calm and composed, and as he struck the cane on the ground, it seemed to resonate deeply within the hearts of everyone present

Thus, upon Tang Zhengfa's words, everyone fell silent.

Tang Zhengye stepped out of the car, naturally accompanied by bodyguards respectfully holding an umbrella

You ... ... you ... ...

Swish

Everyone opened their eyes wide

He suddenly raised his head to look at the flower bed
