"Are you all right?"

Third Uncle asked softly, testing the waters.

"Very good."

Cheng Yang laughed and said, pretending to not know anything.

Third Uncle nodded slightly. It would be a lie not to be disappointed.

In the corner, Zhong Wentao looked at the people around him. Indeed, every single one of them were familiar faces, and had basically thought about it on television or in the newspapers. It could be seen that the Old Master Cheng was not ordinary in terms of abilities.

However, he never expected that the mayor Zhang Beiling would actually come as well. The companion by his side was even his cousin Zhang Yuyu. At this moment, Zhang Yuyu was like a courtesan, smiling at every man who looked at her.

Standing at the back of the crowd, even he felt that it was laughable how Zhang Beiling would do whatever it took to gain fame.

The funniest thing was that he was actually part of Zhang Beiling's plan.

"Handsome, is he alone?"

A soft female voice rang out.

"Would you like to accompany me for a drink?"

"Sorry, I …"

Before he could say anything, he stopped when he saw who the woman was.

He turned around and gave the woman a big hug. Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, he tightened his arms and deepened the hug.

"Wen Tao, I'm going to be strangled to death by you."

Bai Shiyun said with a smile, and she was very happy as well.

She came back with Cheng Yang, but purposely didn't say it because she wanted to give Zhong Wentao a pleasant surprise. Now that she had appeared, she missed Zhong Wentao even more.

On stage, Old Master Cheng walked over. All the guests were looking in front of them, and the two of them were unable to reminisce about the past.

As for what the Old Master Cheng said, they did not hear it clearly. It was just that after Cheng Yang went up on stage, the people below the stage were all discussing in shock, and did not think that Cheng Yang would become the Patriarch.

"How could this be?"

Bai Shiyun said softly.

She had seen Cheng Yang's capabilities before, and it was much better than Huang Rulong's. In Xiang Jiang, Cheng Yang had used his own wrist to cut down on the share in Huang Rulong's hands by 5%, it could be seen that Cheng Yang was a rare talent in the business world.

Zhong Wentao shook his head, indicating her to keep looking.

becoming the Clan Master was not a counterattack by a poor girl marrying a prince, but an insult to the upper class. Cheng Yang not being worthy of being the Clan Master was something that everyone believed, and the Cheng family had done so to push themselves out of the upper class.

For Cheng Yang, was what Old Master Cheng was doing worth it?

"What are you thinking about?"

Bai Shiyun asked softly. Looking at Cheng Yang who was on stage in high spirits, he felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.

Even though Zhang Xuan said that he was going to take a breather, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Leaning against the wall, looking out at the quiet corridor, she felt even more uneasy.

She remembered the last time he went home, Bai Minggang was being controlled by the people of the Cultivator Organization.

She lifted her skirt and quickly returned, wanting to alert Zhong Wentao of something.

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of her, standing in front of her and making a silent gesture to her.

There were other people who came out at the banquet, so they didn't find it strange seeing them standing there. They only thought that some young miss had caught a glimpse of a certain mister and secretly came out to chat behind his back.

"Who are you?"

Bai Shiyun asked softly. She had never seen such a charming man.

"You are Zhong Wentao's woman?"

The man chuckled, his deep fingers caressing Bai Shiyun's cheeks.

"Just who are you!"

Taking a step back, Bai Shiyun asked coldly. In her memory, there was no such person, but since this person could enter this level, it proved that her identity was not weak. Could it be that this person was not from this city?

Seeing that Bai Shiyun's eyes moved, the man squinted her eyes. She didn't like such a smart woman.

He had sneakily come over to watch the show, it wouldn't be good if someone knew that it was going to get out of hand.

Thinking about this, he took out the dagger and pressed it against Bai Shiyun's fair neck, imagining what would happen after he drew a few cuts.

"Who the hell are you?"

Bai Shiyun asked coldly.

"You don't need to know."

The man spoke calmly, causing Bai Shiyun's expression to turn even uglier.

"Shiyun, are you feeling better?"

When Zhong Wentao found it, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ran to Zhong Wentao's side, his entire body trembling.

Hugging Zhong Wentao tightly, Bai Shiyun was still unable to struggle free from her fear, she was almost killed by that man. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhong Wentao came out quickly, she would have been dead.

Carrying her, Zhong Wentao asked: "Who are you?"

The man left without looking back. He even left behind a sentence. "You'll find out sooner or later."

"There's a dead end there."

Zhong Wentao kindly reminded him that if he continued to walk forward, he would only bump into the wall.

"How can a living person be stopped by a dead end?"

As he spoke, the man charged towards the wall as fast as he could, as if he wanted to pierce through it.

The moment he touched the wall, a huge explosion occurred. The entire wall was blasted apart. The man quickly left, and even if he died, he would still be left alive.

"What happened?"

Bai Shiyun anxiously asked, wanting to turn her head to look. Zhong Wentao tightly held her, preventing her from doing so.

This scene shocked even Zhong Wentao, who was extremely curious about the man's identity.

However, he still calmly stood at the entrance of the venue and didn't take another step forward.

Everyone came out to check on the situation. Zhong Wentao took advantage of the chaos to drag Bai Shiyun in to look for Cheng Yang.

However, Cheng Yang was not inside. His whereabouts were unknown ten minutes ago!

At the Cheng family.

Cheng Yang's disappearance was a huge blow to them both. Zheng Yu and Zhong Wentao sat on the sofa in the living room, also silent.

Bai Shiyun was already resting in Ciji Hall, accompanied by Zhou Zihan. She wanted to forget the fear that the man had brought her.

"There's still no news of Cheng Yang."

Third Uncle walked in helplessly. Old Master Cheng was emitting a decadent aura, his aura was weak and weak, his life was not far off.

"Father."

Cheng Yang's father said softly, "It is very likely that the brat will lose his life, but the Patriarch can't possibly not exist.

"What!"

Zheng Yu quickly stood up.

Cheng Yang had only been missing for a few hours, not even a day had passed. How was he already dead?

If he had to give up on his family, Cheng Yang would most likely die.

"Calm down."

Zhong Wentao said calmly, if he did not think that Cheng Yang had a way to solve the problem, they would not have come over. Seems like they were wrong, they should not have placed their hopes on the Cheng Family.

But he had to see what Old Master Cheng meant, if he also wanted to give up on Cheng Yang, he would let Cheng Yang be a member of the Tai Yi Sect, and would not need the protection of the Cheng family.

Zhong Wentao threatened coldly: "Old Master, don't forget that the Patriarch's white crystal is still with Cheng Yang. That thing should be very important to your Cheng Family, if we were to just give away the Patriarch's position to someone else, when Cheng Yang returns, how will you explain it?"

"Shut up!"

Cheng Hua shouted: "You are not a member of our Cheng Family, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Zheng Yu stood at the side, as long as Cheng Hua said anything that was inappropriate, he would immediately rush forward and tear apart Cheng Hua's mouth.

"Enough!"

The Old Master snapped harshly. In the next second, he began to cough violently, his entire body twitching uncontrollably. It was obvious that he was suffering from a hidden disease.

"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you saving them?"

There was a Chinese medicine at the scene, if Zhong Wentao didn't help, what was he waiting for?

However, no matter how much he begged for help, Zhong Wentao just sat on the sofa and didn't do anything.

"Save me …" "Save me …"

The Old Master spoke with difficulty, his finger trembling as he pointed at Zhong Wentao, hoping for his help.

Zhong Wentao only shook his head lightly. If the Old Master Cheng didn't save Cheng Yang, he wouldn't help either.

"Hurry up and save them!"

"Zhong Wentao, you are a Chinese doctor, it is your duty to cure the patient and save the patient!"

Everyone shouted, but no one dared to go up and force Zhong Wentao to do anything.

If Zhong Wentao left, what would happen to the old man?

Cheng Hua decided on the spot and called the ambulance and private doctors over. He did not expect Zhong Wentao to come.

He slowly walked over and saw from Old Master Cheng's expression that the addiction was really acting up, it was really powerful, there was white foam at the corner of his mouth, it was caused by ingesting something.

"Do you use drugs?"

Zhong Wentao was shocked!

"Cough, cough …"

The answer was a weak cough, Zhong Wentao immediately checked the pulse of the Old Master Cheng, and realized that the Old Master Cheng's body was practically crippled, but it was clearly not like that before, in just a short few months, he had lost a lot of energy.

No wonder he wanted to take drugs. Only after taking drugs could the pain in his body be suppressed.

He actually did not tell anyone about such a severe illness!

"What did you say?"

Cheng Hua fiercely pulled him up and drank: "You said my grandfather used drugs? Look at his age, you quack! "

"Little Hua …"

Third Uncle of the Cheng Family said awkwardly, "He... He's right. "

"What?"

This time, forget about Cheng Hua, all the Cheng Family s present could not accept this matter, they could not touch the drugs, the Cheng family was a quiet place of business, why would they have anything to do with drugs?

Third Uncle said helplessly: "The old man's body is no longer sufficient, but Cheng Yang had left on his own with's anger, and the Patriarch's seat was empty. The old man's health was not good, so he could only continue using drugs, and that was why he was able to live until today, but …"

"But what!"

Everyone asked anxiously.

"It's just that the old man announced to give away the Patriarch's seat today, and those drug dealers were very angry, thinking that the old man messed with them, which was why he took Cheng Yang away. The old man had endured until now, things weren't easy."

"What did you say!"

Zhong Wentao stood up and asked word by word.

In order to protect the old man's image, they had actually concealed the fact that Cheng Yang had been taken away by a drug dealer.

After so long, it was inevitable that Cheng Yang would not be forcefully infected by the drug. Once the drug was infected, Cheng Yang would destroy it!

"Sorry …"

The third uncle of the Cheng family said helplessly, "For the sake of the Cheng family, we can only sacrifice Cheng Yang. He is the Patriarch, and this was something that he should have done. "

"Nonsense."

Throwing these two words down, Zhong Wentao turned and walked away, bringing Zheng Yu away from this cold-blooded place.
