Chapter 76 - Let her be happy.

"WHY IS SHE TAKING SO LONG TO COME DOWN?!" Tang Huizhong had reached his limit, pacing in front of the dining table.

Haifeng glanced at the two girls sitting by the table then glared at her husband with a frown of her face. "Huizhong! How many times have I told you to control your temper in front of our daughters? You are always scaring them!"

Huizhong quickly looked at his two twin daughters who had their heads lowered as they ate. He reached out to ċȧrėss one of their heads, soothing them. "Ying'er, have you seen your sister this morning?"

Chunying shook her head with her stuffed mouth and lowered her head, her eyes sharing a look with her twin sister who continued to give an expressionless face.

Huizhong grimaced and stood up, climbing the stairs to Chunlan's room. Haifeng quickly whispered to her daughters before she followed her husband. "Remember what I told you, girls."

She ran after her husband to see him open his daughter's room. After that, she heard him call her name in rage. "HAIFENG!"

The maid who had delivered the spare key was terrified, staring at her mistress in fear as she trembled. Haifeng dismissed her as she enters the room. "You may leave now, thank you."

Haifeng entered the room with confusion written on her face when she saw her angry husband standing in front of a wardrobe. "What is it, Huizhong?"

"She is gone! That unfilial girl has fled the house!" He sat down on the bed, gripping the bedsheets in rage.

She glanced at the empty wardrobe and sat down beside him in silence. When some minutes had passed, she finally spoke with relief. "Ah, finally!"

Huizhong turned to face her, surprised at what she had just said. "What?"

Haifeng stood up in exasperation. "Oh Huizhong! Chunlan really loves that boy so much, what don't you just let them be together?"

Huizhong growled, close to losing his patience with his wife. "You know why!"

"Our children should not have to suffer the mistakes we made, Huizhong." She said. "Where are you going?"

Huizhong walked out of the room, ignoring her as he shouted. "Yin Tao!"

A figure who had been blending with the dark shadows in the corridor quietly suddenly appeared in front of his boss. "Boss."

Huizhong threw a punch at his bodyguard, sending him across the floor with a thud. Haifeng came out when she heard the noise, gasping. "Huizhong!"

Huizhong ordered the rest of the bodyguards who were standing with his daughters. "Get them out of here."

Huizhong looked at the person on the floor with cold eyes filled with deadly intent. "Did you help her escape? Where is Lan'er?"

Yin Tao spat out a mouthful of blood, his jaws aching as he stood up. He bowed his head.

"Answer me!" Huizhong barked, walking towards him.

"Huizhong, enough!" Haifeng obstructed his path as she stood in front of him. "If you really love Chunlan like you say you do, then just let her be happy."

"She is not safe there!" Huizhong watched his wife flinch as he raised his voice.

She saw him walk away as he tried to restrain himself. She turned to face Yin Tao who stayed quiet standing straight like a statue. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, Madame."

She inserted a piece of paper into his palm, saying. "I need you to find a way to contact Chunlan. Give her this."

She went to look for her husband when she finished giving out orders. She saw him staring at a certain picture in his office which made her heart ache. He grabbed his phone to call each head of the six families to a meeting right away, telling them the venue.

When all of them had gathered in a secluded but well furnished place , he sat down at the head of the table. "Good morning."

The rest of the six families. "Good morning, Senior Brother."

Cai Shangjun who was holding the sandwich he was supposed to eat, dropped it when he saw Huizhong's solemn face. "Senior Brother, is there any problem?"

"Yes, there is. Ten years ago, we were deceived into a war that was not ours to fight. One of us here used his own brothers and sister to fight against a powerful enemy that he knew he could not defeat on his own. I just found out the truth a few days ago." Huizhong informed them.

The others shared a look of confusion filled with dread. Su Liangzi spoke out. "What are you saying, Brother?"

Shen Guiying frowned when she realized what her senior brother was talking about.

"Wen Tianxiang, explain yourself."

Wen Tianxiang, son of Wen Qiqiang laughed anxiously across the table as he denied everything. "I don't know what you are talking about, Huizhong."

Huizhong narrowed his eyes. "Why didn't you tell us that the person Sakai Harumitsu was trying to kill was not Lai Weilong but you instead?"

"What are you talking about, da-ge?" Mo Xuanqing's eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment, watching the intense atmosphere increase further.

"Wen Tianxiang embezzled a lot of money from the Sakai clan during a business project. Sakai Harumitsu found out and swore that he would destroy the Wen family when he found out so that night, when he tried to kill him, Lai Weilong's son died instead." Huizhong hit the table in fury as he told the story, pointing at Wen Tianxiang. "Because of you, that stray bullet hit Lai Weilong's only child!"

"B-But that i-isn't....." Wen Tianxiang stammered.

"Shut up! Because of you, our six families declared war on the Japanese!" Huizhong roared.

In a blink of an eye, Lai Weilong was already in front of Wen Tianxiang grabbing his shirt as he delivered a swift kick to his abdomen making him bend down in pain.

Cai Shangjun and Mo Xuanqing struggled to restrain him but before they knew it, he was already holding a gun aimed at Wen Tianxiang.

Shen Guiying gasped, hiding behind Su Liangzi when she peeped to see Lai Weilong's blazing eyes directed at Wen Tianxiang.

He clicked the gun and said. "WEN TIANXIANG, HOW DARE YOU?!"
