Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Thinking of My Daughter
"Though it was well hidden, my eyes are pretty sharp," Yang Chen said with a wink at Tang Wan, chuckling as if he had just won a game of hide-and-seek.
Tang Wan rolled her eyes at him. "You still have the mood to laugh? If there's a bug here, doesn't that mean there could be bugs in my company, my home, and other places as well?!"
Yang Chen nodded. "Very likely."
Tang Wan took a deep, painful breath and asked hopefully, "You'll help me find all of them, right?"
Yang Chen scratched his head. "I can, but it might take quite a bit of time. How about we have lunch first? I'm hungry."
Tang Wan felt helpless with this guy. At such a critical moment, he was still thinking about food.
On the side, Tang Xin, who was full of surprise and curiosity, muttered, "Sis, your friend must have been a woodpecker in his past life to be able to find that."
With his keen hearing, Yang Chen stumbled slightly, which made Tang Wan finally smile a little.
Old Master Tang was sitting in his wheelchair, sleeping soundly. Following Tang Wan's instructions, the two nurses took him back inside to care for him.
Watching her grandfather being taken back inside, Tang Wan's eyes welled up with a bit of sorrow. "I still remember when I was a child, when Grandpa was a standing committee member in the government, and Grandma was still alive. Even though Grandpa was very busy, he would always be the first to pick me up and make me happy when he came home. Back then, I felt that Grandpa was the greatest person in the world, that there was nothing he couldn't do. As long as he was around, the Tang family was the most remarkable family in the world.
Those days seem like just yesterday, but now Grandpa can no longer be as he was back then." Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Hearing Tang Wan say this, Tang Xin's eyes began to shimmer with tears. "Sis, don't say that, or I'll start crying again."
Tang Wan smiled apologetically. "Tang Xin, are you staying here to take care of Grandpa?"
"Of course. I came from Yandu specifically to continue taking care of Grandpa. Sis, you don't have to worry about me. Go with your friend and take care of your business. I'll take good care of Grandpa," Tang Xin said obediently.
Tang Wan nodded with relief. She glanced at Yang Chen and then left the courtyard first.
Yang Chen waved to Tang Xin and followed closely, catching up with Tang Wan. "Has Tang Xin always been responsible for taking care of the old man? She's so young. A girl her age should be dating, not doing this kind of work."
"It's not my demand for my sister," Tang Wan said discontentedly. "Do you think I want Tang Xin to do this? Third Uncle only has one daughter, and she's my most obedient sister. But Tang Xin has always been very attached to Grandpa. She has a kind heart. Ever since Grandpa got sick, she has been by his side, taking care of him, and we can't pull her away."
Yang Chen nodded understandingly and then asked, "When we entered the courtyard earlier, I heard the old man shouting 'A Lun.' Who is A Lun? Could it be Tang Huang's nickname? That doesn't seem right."
Tang Wan suddenly stopped, fell silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Grandpa was calling for my father, Tang Lun."
Tang Wan, already frustrated by various headaches, reacted with a cold laugh upon hearing the news. "If they want to sue, let them sue. Do they think we poisoned him? We're the patients here, and they're blaming us? Tell the lawyer to fight them to the end. Spend whatever it takes."
The assistant, stunned by Tang Wan's fierce response, quickly nodded and left without a word.
Yang Chen stepped forward and patted Tang Wan's shoulder. "Don't worry too much. This lawsuit won't happen."
Tang Wan turned back, puzzled. "Why not? They certainly have the capability to initiate a lawsuit, and if we can't find the cause, we could very well lose."
"I said it won't happen, and it won't. Just because I said so," Yang Chen replied with a smile.
Tang Wan finally showed a hint of a smile and rolled her eyes at him. "Alright, let's go to my house."
Yang Chen felt like he had become Tang Wan's temporary secretary for the day, following her wherever she went and helping out.
When they arrived at Tang Wan's villa, Yang Chen realized that although he had been here several times, this was his first time inside the house. The living room was warmly decorated and filled with a light fragrance, a reflection of the home shared by Tang Wan and her daughter Tang Tang. It was impeccably clean.
Yang Chen glanced around. "Tang Tang isn't home, is she?"
"Why, do you miss my daughter?" Tang Wan teased. "She's not here. She's preparing for her college entrance exams in three months. If she dares to stay home on a school day, I'll give her a good scolding."
Yang Chen chuckled awkwardly. "No need to be so strict. Tang Tang is quite mature for her age."
Tang Wan nodded. "I almost forgot. Since she met you, she's indeed grown up a lot."
Yang Chen felt a pang of guilt. She had to grow up fast after experiencing life and death situations and running away from home twice.
After searching the living room, Yang Chen went upstairs. Despite the house's complex structure, making it a bit challenging to search, Yang Chen's years of experience led him to find two more bugging devices hidden in the light fixtures and fake flower arrangements.
Tang Wan, looking at the two tiny devices, muttered, "Very few people come to my house. Besides a few trusted colleagues from the company, it's just me and my daughter. Could these bugs have been planted by a traitor from my company?"
"I don't think so," Yang Chen said, fiddling with the small silver-gray devices. "Your house isn't heavily fortified, with no alarm systems. If someone with professional espionage skills wanted to plant these bugs, they could easily pick your lock and get in within seconds."
Tang Wan frowned, still confused. "But if this person dares to kill and has such advanced skills, why only target Professor Andre? His death only directly affects my grandfather's treatment. It doesn't benefit anyone in our family, nor does it significantly impact our company. Why go to such lengths?"
Yang Chen thought for a moment and replied slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who killed Professor Andre wants to maintain the current situation in your family. That is, keeping your grandfather from getting better and keeping you under their control. As for your family..."
"Conflict," Tang Wan interrupted, finally realizing the key point she had nearly overlooked. "They want to keep the internal conflicts in the Tang family escalating continuously?!"
