Novel Full Chapter 366: There is Someone Behind This
There was only one answer: There was still someone else behind this, and even Mrs. Tang didn’t know she was just a pawn in someone else’s chess game.
The mastermind also knew Tang Zhiyu’s interest in her, so he betted on whether Tang Zhiyu would be concerned about her, and if he could resist the temptation.
If something happened between her and Tang Zhiyu, it would be more terrifying than an incest scandal.
An incest scandal would ruin Tang Zhiyu and Tang Suran as well as make the Tang family a joke, but the damage wouldn’t be fatal for the family.
But it was a different story if they had to take Song Mian’s wrath and revenge.
This person was trying to use Mrs. Tang to deal a destructive attack against the Tang family as a whole.
“This person must have been in Chongyu Pavilion when we were having our meal there, and he must have seen Tang Zhiyu harassing me,” Yun Xiangxiang was sure about that.
There were reporters who took photos that day, but since Song Mian handled them, there wouldn’t be any leaks.
This person must have seen how Tang Zhiyu treated her back then, and he was sure Tang Zhiyu had ideas about her.
Just noticing Tang Zhiyu following her on Weibo wasn’t enough for this person to make such a big bet that risked exposing himself.
“Maybe he got someone to watch Tang Zhiyu’s every move,” Song Mian proposed another possibility.
“That’s true…” she couldn’t rule out this possibility.
If that was the case, the range would widen up too much. If it was the former, they only needed to check who was there at that time.
As long as they find out those high-profile characters who had a grudge or war of interest with the Tang family, they could lock on to the range of suspects.
“No wonder he dared to test the waters by making a big splash…” Yun Xiangxiang sighed.
The mastermind was fearless, so Song Mian’s guess had a higher probability of being correct. The person was daring because he knew he wouldn’t be exposed no matter if his plan succeeded or failed.
If his plan succeeded, Song Mian would be enemies with the Tang family, refusing to continue treating Tang Zhili and Master Tang and even attacking the family.
The mastermind managed to deal a fatal blow to the Tang family as well as creating a powerful enemy for them. He might even benefit from the fight between the two families.
If he failed, the Tang family would only know that someone was out for them, but after the death of their young masters, they probably already knew that.
While he was still hiding in the shadows, his identity was a secret.
“Now that he has exposed a part of himself, does he think he can keep on hiding?” Song Mian had a cold look. “Does he really think he can get away with it just because he failed? Does he think the Song Family is weak?”
Nobody in this world dared to use him as a pawn, especially not after they had crossed his line.
“Don’t be angry.” Yun Xiangxiang patted his chest to calm him down. “It’s not worth it to get angry over someone like this. Get him first, and the torture comes later.”
“How do you want to torture him?” Song Mian grabbed Yun Xiangxiang’s hand.
Her soft caress made him remember what he did earlier, but now her body was weak, and she couldn’t take his ‘torture.’
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t realize why Song Mian grabbed her hand, and she smiled devilishly. “No matter if the person is a man or a woman, stuff them with aphrodisiac and let them have a taste of it. It’s their favorite thing, I’m sure.”
Giving them a taste of their own medicine was the best way of revenge Yun Xiangxiang could think of.
But if it involved human lives, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to take their lives as revenge.
Song Mian took her hand and kissed it. “Of course.”
“I want to sleep…” Yun Xiangxiang felt exhausted and weak after she woke up.
She wasn’t worried because Song Mian was beside her, and she was conscious. Aside from being groggy like she had the flu, she didn’t feel uncomfortable.
“It’s normal. Just sleep if you want to. You’ll be refreshed tomorrow.” Song Mian hugged Yun Xiangxiang.
Song Mian let her sleep in his embrace, and Yun Xiangxiang shut her eyes as she looked at him, and she smiled as she drifted to sleep.
When she woke up, Song Mian wasn’t by her side. Yun Xiangxiang could feel that she had recovered some energy, so she pushed herself up, and she saw Tang Suran pushing the door and coming in.
Tang Suran was holding some dishes, and she looked at Yun Xiangxiang apologetically. She took the dishes in and placed them on the table before coming over to help Yun Xiangxiang get up.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t refuse her, since she couldn’t blame Tang Suran, as this was just an unexpected event.
“I’m sorry for taking you to the study. None of this would have happened if I didn’t take you there.” Tang Suran knew an apology meant nothing, but she had to say it.
“I did say I like to read, so this has nothing to do with you.” Nobody expected this to happen.
The person didn’t ask Mrs. Tang to stop her plan even when he knew Song Mian had come, so this was done on purpose. He either wanted to have her and Song Mian bump into the Tang siblings’”scandal,” or he wanted to trap them too.
“You saved my life today. We might not be able to be friends, but I will remember this, and one day, I will do my best to repay my debt,” Tang Suran made a solemn vow.
She would be disgraced if her aunt was successful, and death would be the only way to prove her innocence.
Even if she wasn’t weak, she wasn’t strong enough to take the public’s gossip about her and her brother.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t just help her; she saved Tang Suran’s life.
“Sure, I’ll hold you to that promise. I’ll come looking if I need something.” Yun Xiangxiang could see Tang Suran’s anxiety, so if she refused this, Tang Suran would be more upset.
She took the offer and would leave the future to its own devices.
Tang Suran helped her to the table, and the dishes she brought in were easily digested. Not to mention they tasted well.
Yun Xiangxiang had two bowls of porridge, and she felt that she regained some strength.
“Where did Ah Mian go?” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t see Song Yao after she finished her meal, and Song Mian wasn’t back yet.
“They went out with my brother. I’ll stay here and look after you,” Tang Suran said.
They went out together? Probably because they found out who’s the mastermind. That was fast.
The Tang family didn’t manage to find him out even after suffering for so much, but Song Mian managed to do it the moment he made his move. The mastermind must be regretting it now.
The Song Family had always been a hidden family, and the layman didn’t know about its existence, as it wanted to stay low-profile. Not anyone could find out about this kind of family, as they had unimaginable strength that prevented them from being found out.
The mastermind would be going on a suicide mission if he did everything at the assumption that the Song Family was on the same level as the Tang family.
“Can you take me out for a walk?” Yun Xiangxiang wanted to get some fresh air.
Tang Suran had just taken Yun Xiangxiang out from the room when Song Mian came over. Guangdong’s weather was chilly these two days, so he was wearing a beige windbreaker.
As he strode over, the wind blew against his shirt. Under the lights, Yun Xiangxiang noticed some bloodstains on the corner of his dancing windbreaker.
