No one made a sound, no one moved, and even his breathing had completely stopped.
The children of the Tang clan watched Tang Yuanba's body.
They only felt cold fingertips and cold toes, and they felt cold sweat slowly flowing down their backs.
Tang Yuanba is dead!
No one believes it, but he cannot refuse to believe it!
But no one dared to say these five words, and no one dared to carry his body back to the Tang Sect...
Ye Fan was also stunned on the spot.
He wasn't shocked that Tang Yuanba died like this.
In the past two years, he has seen enough dead people and even more tragic deaths.
Therefore, Tang Yuan's death did not have much impact on him.
Ye Fan was in a daze that Tang Yuanba gave him three tokens and asked Song Hongyan to serve as the head of the three groups.
Tang Yuanba and Song Hongyan don’t have much intersection, so why do you trust and entrust the three to her?
Any three old ministers of the Tang sect are more natural than Song Hongyan.
But no matter how hard it is, it is fine. The token in Ye Fan's palm is not only cold but also thick, with a sense of authority.
After accepting the reality that Tang Yuanba allowed Song Hongyan to take power, Ye Fan was actually a little resistant.
He and Song Hongyan tried hard to jump out of the Tang Sect vortex, in order to no longer hold the resources of the Tang Sect and become the target of public criticism.
After all, Song Hongyan's identity as Tang Pingfan's daughter, coupled with the crucial Tang Sect resources, will definitely bring a lot of trouble.
But Tang Yuanba did not give Ye Fan the chance to refuse.
He smiled and finally gave Ye Fan no chance to say no.
Moreover, Tang Yuanba gave up the three positions to Song Hongyan.
Although Ye Fan is Song Hongyan's fiancé, he still has no right to refuse directly.
So looking at the token in his hand and the corpse of Tang Yuanba losing his life, Ye Fan felt an unprecedented pain in his head...
An hour and a half later, Jin Zhilin's backyard.
Ye Fan called Song Hongyan while drinking the hot tea made by Gongsun Qian.
He told Song Hongyan all the scenes in the morning.
"What? Tang Yuanba is dead?"
Song Hongyan, who was far away in Baocheng, was shocked when she heard the phone:
"I'll still let me take charge of the three branches of the Tang Sect?"
“What is this operation?”
"The three martial arts masters of the Tang Sect are like clouds, and the pillars and backbones are even more like crucian carp crossing the river."
"Tang Yuanba chose any person and was ten times better than me. After all, I had no foundation or reputation among the three Tang Sects."
"And he formed an alliance with Tang Huangpu and Tang scouts. Tang Yuanba died suddenly and should give the authority to Tang Huangpu."
Song Hongyan obviously didn't expect to be able to pick up money even if she lay down: "Why did he let me get on the post?"
"I'm puzzled, too."
Ye Fan lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, then rubbed his painful head and spoke:
"But Tang Yuanba is dead, no one knows what he thinks."
"Maybe it may be disappointed with Tang Huangpu's indecisiveness, or you, the daughter of Tang Pingfan, may be admired from the bottom of your heart."
"It may be that he was frustrated that he died like this, so he might as well give the position to you and let the Tang Sect fight in a big mess."
"It is more likely that he made such an unrestrained decision when he was dying."
"But it's all right. He gave me the tokens of the Tang Sect three branches and announced it to more than a dozen confidants."
"You are his nominal successor now."
"Wife, you need to make a decision as soon as possible."
"Accept this token, or give up..."
"Tang Yuanba is now sent to the hospital to delay the time of 'rescue'. When his confidant arranges everything, he will announce his death."
"The news of Tang Yuanba's death will spread, and you, the successor, will spread."
"It is a crime to bear a treasure. Tang Huangpu and Chen Yuanyuan will try every means to win over you or get rid of you."
Ye Fan reminded: "You need to make plans earlier, otherwise there will be many dangers."
"clear!"
Song Hongyan nodded slightly, she knew Ye Fan's worries.
Then she asked: "Husband, do you think I should take over the Tangmen Three?"
"I have no idea."
Ye Fan smiled bitterly and responded frankly:
"To be honest, I don't want you to trek into the muddy waters of the Tang Sect in my heart, so as not to cause all kinds of trouble to myself!"
"But you have given up the Dihao Bank because of Wangfan and I, and handed it to Tang Ruoxue as a gift for the full moon, and supported Chen Yuanyuan."
"I will ask you to give up these three branches of the Tang Sect that are within your reach now. It will be very unfair to you, a person who is qualified to inherit the Tang Sect."
"No matter what, taking down the Tang Sect will always have more benefits than disadvantages for you."
"More importantly, it can be regarded as Tang Pingfan's hard work."
"So this time, whether to take over or give up is up to you, and I will not interfere with you anymore."
“And I will do my best to support your choice.”
"If you take over the three branches of the Tang Sect, I will follow you up at any cost until I become the new leader of the Tang Sect."
If the Tang Sect vortex cannot be avoided, Ye Fan simply let Song Hongyan break through the vortex and kill all the dangers.
Moreover, he owed Song Hongyan too well for the Tang Sect, so Ye Fan decided to make up for the woman.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Song Hongyan's voice also became serious: "If you can't escape the matter, then accept it calmly."
"That's right!"
Ye Fan nodded: "If you can't avoid the sharp sword that is stabbed, then hold the hilt of the sword."
Song Hongyan asked, "By the way, how did Zhong Changqing run to Longdu?"
There are many levels, and Zhong Changqing is seriously injured. How can he cross the distance and lock in the attack of Tang Yuanba?
"I wondered about this."
Ye Fan had the same confusion on his face, and his tone was solemn:
"The wound that Zhong Changqing was penetrated by me has not healed, and Baocheng is under strict vigilance for entry and exit. Logically, he shouldn't have escaped."
"But the fact is that it appeared in Longdu and died together with Tang Yuanba."
"But Cai Lingzhi is already investigating, and he can probably find some clues."
He breathed out a long breath: "I'm still curious about his motive for attacking Tang Yuanba."
Song Hongyan nodded gently: "Someone must have picked up Zhong Changqing, and there is even a special channel that belongs to them."
"I think so too."
Ye Fan whispered: "So Wei Hongchao also made every effort to investigate the people entering and leaving the country."
"By the way, husband, remind Tang Ruoxue."
Song Hongyan remembered something: "Although Tang Yuanba was killed by Zhong Changqing, Tang Ruoxue was Tang Yuanba's mortal enemy."
"The life and death of Maple Leaf Country and the death of Baocheng have already made both sides as powerful as water and fire."
"And Tang Yuanba died during the period when Tang Ruoxue returned to Longdu."
"Tang Yuanba's loyalty is hard to guarantee that he will lose his mind and treat Tang Ruoxue as the murderer behind the scenes."
"When Zhong Changqing died without venting his anger, they would have a high probability of attacking Tang Ruoxue."
Song Hongyan spoke quietly: "Let her go in and out carefully so that she won't capsize in the gutter."
