Chapter 144: Exam Questions
At Tang Xin's residence, Tang Yuan and Tang Xing were also there, and the faces of the three cousins were not very good-looking.
"Who is it?" Tang Xin tapped on the chair handle.
Tang Yuan said with a gloomy face: "Dongfang Xia, Qin Wendong, and Li Liang lost contact at the same time, plus Xiao Yao, who disappeared before, all the partners we invited are gone, which is also too ......"
At this point he paused, not knowing what to say about this daring fellow. This is offending the five major families at the same time!
Tang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he guessed something.
"What did Big Brother think?" Tang Xing asked heartlessly.
"I'm not sure yet, but hopefully I'm thinking too much." Tang Xin kept weighing and thinking.
After a while, he stood up and said, "You wait here for me, and I'll go see Grandpa." ”
"See Grandpa? Right now? Tang Yuan was a little puzzled.
"The person we invited has disappeared, isn't it okay to tell grandpa about this?" Tang Xing was even more puzzled.
"I want to confirm my guess." Tang Xin guessed that this matter had something to do with his grandfather, but he didn't want to tell his two cousins.
"You don't doubt grandpa, do you?" Tang Yuan asked with his mouth wide open, he himself was taken aback by his own brain hole.
"Who dares to rob us of our Tang family's territory? Who can do that? Tang Xin asked.
Tang Yuan and Tang Xing glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Tang Xin continued: "This is the question from grandpa, he wants to see our answer to the problem, of course, there is no reaction is also a solution, but it must not be the best answer." ”
"Then the eldest brother will test his grandfather's tone first, and we will all listen to the eldest brother." Tang Xing said busily.
Tang Yuan also nodded, only he knew in his heart that he was reluctant.
Tang Xin looked at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the evening, almost a day had passed since Li Liang and the others lost contact, and his grandfather must have fallen asleep at this time, he didn't have the courage to wake up his grandfather and ask questions.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow! Grandpa must have slept. Tang Xin said.
Tang Yuan and Tang Xing also nodded approvingly, they naturally felt that it was not appropriate to go to Grandpa at this time.
It was already late at night, and Tang Xing had already fallen asleep.
Tang Yuan was full of worries, he quietly walked out of his small courtyard and involuntarily slipped to his grandfather's door.
He stood quietly outside his grandfather's small courtyard, looking at the lights in the yard that had been extinguished, but he didn't dare to ring the doorbell.
If grandpa is really waiting for them, then ringing the doorbell is a great thing, but if grandpa is not waiting for them, then ringing the doorbell is likely to anger grandpa, which is equivalent to looking for death.
It may be one step to the sky, or it may be one step to hell, dare to bet?
He didn't dare, he didn't dare to joke about his own fate like Tang Jitian, and he wouldn't put the fate of others above his own.
His choice was to turn away.
At Tang Jinglei's residence, the old voice spoke: "Tang Yuan walked around outside the small courtyard and left. ”
Tang Jinglei snorted: "Too utilitarian, too concerned about your own gains and losses, no spirit of sacrifice." ”
"Wouldn't you be too harsh?" The old voice asked again.
"I just want to see their hearts." Tang thundered.
"Tang Jitian is here, but he shouldn't meet your criteria for choosing a successor, right?" The old voice asked.
"Some people can be cultivated, but some people have no cultivation value." Tang exclaimed.
The old voice stopped talking.
After breakfast the next day, Tang Xin estimated that his grandfather should have gotten up and had breakfast, and then came to the small courtyard where his grandfather lived.
The cleaner was busy cleaning the yard, watering the flowers, pruning off the wildly growing branches of the holly tree, and occasionally a few crisp laughs could be heard from the cleaning room.
Tang Xin walked to the back of the flower bed, handed a cigarette to a gardener in his sixties who was sitting there, and asked in a low voice, "Is grandpa in a good mood?" ”
The gardener put away the cigarette, he didn't dare to smoke here, the old man strictly forbade smoking here, and if he wanted to smoke, he had to wait until he got out of the courtyard after work to smoke.
"It's not good, I didn't sleep much all night last night, and I still see him standing under a tree and looking up at the stars at night, I don't know what he's thinking." The gardener seemed to be very familiar with Tang Xin.
"Have Tang Jitian and Tang Xiao ever been here?" Tang Xin asked again.
The gardener looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered in Tang Xin's ear: "Tang Jitian came early yesterday morning, knelt outside the door for a day, and only went in to talk to the old man when it was dark." ”
Listening to the gardener's words, Tang Xin frowned, he didn't expect that Tang Jitian had already come, and he still knelt outside the door all night.
Is it true that he will also kneel here for a day?
"How were they feeling when they came out?" Tang Xin asked suddenly.
The gardener thought for a while and said, "Tang Jitian and Tang Xiao were very happy when they came out, they should have gotten something from the old man." ”
"Has anyone else been here?" Tang Jitian asked with a deep look in his eyes.
"In the middle of the night, Tang Yuanlai took a turn, but he didn't ring the doorbell and left." The gardener lived here, and of course he saw Tang Yuan coming.
Tang Xin's face was gloomy for a moment, obviously a little dissatisfied with Tang Yuan's private actions.
He patted the gardener on the shoulder and whispered, "Look for me in my small courtyard if you have anything to do in the future." ”
"Understood." The gardener was as happy as a blooming flower, and the smile on his face seemed to tell everyone that he was in love with Tang Xin.
Through this florist, every move in the grandfather's small courtyard can't be hidden from Tang Xin's eyes, and it is still necessary to give the florist some benefits appropriately.
Probably no one would have thought that he had put his eyes and ears in his grandfather's small courtyard.
Behind the bookcase, Tang Jinglei wrote calligraphy leisurely, and Tang Xin walked in.
"Grandpa's handwriting has grown again." Tang Xin complimented.
"How long has it been since you wrote?" Tang asked without raising his head.
"I wrote it when I was in school, but I haven't written it for a long time after I graduated." Tang Xin said truthfully.
"Can you read that?" Tang Jinglei said lightly.
Tang Xin's face was a little red, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"What are you doing early in the morning?" Tang Jinglei saw that Tang Xin didn't speak for a long time, so he asked first.
"My partner Li Xin is missing, I don't know ......"
"You suspect I hid him?" Before Tang Xin's words were finished, Tang Jinglei interrupted him.
"No...... It's not ......" Tang Xin saw that his grandfather's face was not good-looking, and he hurriedly denied it.
"And what do you mean?" Tang asked domineeringly.
Tang Xin felt the sweat on his back come out, he prepared a wording and said: "I don't know if grandpa has any information about Li Xin here, he came to the mall for me, but now he is missing......"
"When did you get lost?" Tang Jinglei stopped his pen, raised his head, and stared at Tang Xin.
"Yesterday morning, it's been almost thirty hours now." Tang Xin hurriedly said.
"What have you done during this time? Didn't find it? Tang Jinglei asked suddenly.
"We've made a lot of phone calls and reached out to everyone we can reach, but we still haven't found any." Tang Xin carefully explained that he didn't know his grandfather's intention to ask these words, but he knew that every word his grandfather asked was not a good thing for him.
"Do some useless work." Tang Jinglei slammed the brush on the rice paper, and the work he had just written immediately had a big ink spot.
"Please also ask grandpa for some advice." Tang Xin spoke more carefully, his grandfather's anger was obviously not gone, and he was bold enough to say this.
He is the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he currently has the most core resources in the family, and he has always thought that he is the grandson who is most valued by his grandfather, and most of the time he is more fearless.
"What if you can't find a partner?" Tang Jinglei seemed to be interested in taking the school exam.
Tang Xin's eyes rolled and said, "I will list sufficient evidence to prove that Li Xin's disappearance has nothing to do with our Tang family, and I will provide the Li family with sufficient information until they find Li Xin." ”
"Do you think they'll believe you?" Tang Jinglei asked expressionlessly.
"They have to believe it, because this is what our Tang family said, and I believe they will not go to war with us for a Li Xin." Tang Xin said domineeringly.
"Okay, I see, let's go!" Tang Jinglei suddenly gave an eviction order without warning.
"Grandpa......" Tang Xin saw his grandfather's somewhat disappointed face, and his throat was as uncomfortable as stuffed with cotton.
"Get out!" Tang thundered and reprimanded.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Tang Xin's whole body trembled and left.
He stumbled a little, stumbled, and tripped over the door frame and almost fell. He scrambled to his feet, not daring to turn his head away.
"Something that doesn't make it." Tang said angrily.
"He's tough enough, ruthless enough, and shameless enough, just like you, why do you say he's not successful?" The old voice asked mercilessly.
Tang Jinglei was not angry, and said: "Do you remember the story of that classic sand truck driver? ”
"I'm tired of hearing it for a long time."
Tang Jinglei didn't care about him, and said: "A sand truck driver, his car brakes are broken, but there are dozens of people crossing the road on the sidewalk in front, there is a river on the left, and two little girls on the right, how should he choose?" ”
The old voice said: "Tang Jitian may drive the car into the river, Tang Xin may drive directly forward, no matter how many people are in front, if he is the head of the house, I think Tang Xin is more suitable." ”
Tang shook his head and said, "What if the Tang family is the one who stands in the way?" Will Tang Xin also sacrifice the entire family to achieve himself? ”
The old man's voice was silent, he knew that Tang Jinglei's guess was right.
Tang Jinglei continued: "If it was Tang Jitian who was driving, he would sacrifice himself to achieve the Tang family, provided that the Tang family treated him well." ”
"I see, is this test going to continue?" The old voice suddenly asked.
"No need, let those people go, let's over!" Tang thundered.
"Xiao Yao was taken away by Tang Zhengyang, I can't care about it." The old voice said.
"Leave him alone."
