"Ah--" No one made a sound, no one moved, and even breathing stopped completely.
The disciples of the Tang clan looked at Tang Yuanba's body helplessly.
They only feel cold fingertips, cold toes, and cold sweat slowly flowing down their backs.
Tang Yuanba is dead! No one believes it, but they have to believe it! But no one dares to say these five words, and no one dares to carry his body back to Tangmen... Ye Fan was also stunned on the spot.
He was not shocked that Tang Yuanba died like this.
In the past two years, he has seen enough dead people, and he has also seen more tragic death situations.
Therefore, Tang Yuanba's violent death did not have much impact on him.
What made Ye Fan confused was that Tang Yuanba handed him the three tokens and asked Song Hongyan to be the person in charge of the three tokens.
Tang Yuanba and Song Hongyan didn't have much interaction, so why did they trust her so much and entrust them with three things?
Any veteran of the three branches of the Tang clan would be more logical than Song Hongyan.
It’s just that no matter how much you don’t believe it, the token held in Ye Fan’s palm is not only cold but also thick, with a sense of authority.
After accepting the reality that Tang Yuanba let Song Hongyan take over, Ye Fan actually felt a little resistant in his heart.
He and Song Hongyan worked hard to jump out of the whirlpool of the Tang Sect, so that they would no longer be the target of public criticism for holding Tang Sect's resources.
After all, Song Hongyan's identity as Tang Pingfan's daughter, coupled with the vital Tang clan resources, will definitely bring a lot of trouble.
But Tang Yuanba didn't give Ye Fan a chance to refuse.
He smiled and 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 reject her directly.
So looking at the token in his hand and Tang Yuanba's lifeless body, Ye Fan felt 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 everything about the scene in the morning.
"What?
Tang Yuanba is dead?"
Song Hongyan, who was far away in Baocheng, was shocked when she heard the call: "You want me to take charge of the three branches of the Tang Sect?"
"What operation is this?"
"The three martial arts masters of the Tang Sect are like clouds, and the backbone of them are like crucian carp crossing the river."
"Anyone Tang Yuanba chooses is ten times a hundred times better than me. After all, I have no background or reputation in the three branches of the Tang Sect."
"And he formed an alliance with Tang Huangpu and Tang Scout. If Tang Yuanba dies violently, he should hand over the authority to Tang Huangpu."
Song Hongyan obviously didn't expect to be able to pick up money even while lying down: "Why did he let me get the upper hand?"
"I'm wondering too."
Ye Fan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then rubbed his painful head and said, "But Tang Yuanba is dead, no one knows what he was thinking."
"Perhaps I may be disappointed with Tang Huangpu's indecisiveness, or I may admire you, Tang Pingfan's daughter, from the bottom of my heart."
"It's also possible that he was so aggrieved that he died like this, so he simply gave up his position to you and let the Tang clan have a big fight."
"It's more likely that he was confused and made such an unreasonable decision before he died."
"It's just that no matter what, it's fine. He gave me the tokens of the three branches of the Tang Sect and announced it to a dozen of his cronies."
"You are now his nominal successor."
"Honey, 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 'rescue'. He will be pronounced dead when his cronies have arranged everything."
"When the news of Tang Yuanba's death will spread, so will your successor."
"It's a crime to have a jade, Tang Huangpu and Chen Yuanyuan will try their best to win you over or get rid of you."
Ye Fan reminded: "You need to make plans earlier, otherwise there will be many dangers."
"clear!"
Song Hongyan nodded gently, she knew Mark Ye Fan's worries.
Then she asked: "Husband, do you think I should take over the three branches of the Tang Clan?"
"I have no idea."
Ye Fan smiled bitterly and responded frankly: "To be honest, I don't want you to go into the muddy waters of Tangmen, lest you bring yourself all kinds of trouble!"
"But you have already given up on Emgrand Bank because of me and Wangfan, and gave it to Tang Ruoxue as a full-moon gift to support Chen Yuanyuan."
"It would be very unfair to you, the person who is qualified to inherit the Tang Sect, if I ask you to give up the three branches of the Tang Sect that are so easily available to you now."
"No matter what, taking down the Tang Sect will always bring more advantages than disadvantages to you."
"More importantly, it is Tang Pingfan's hard work."
"So this time, it's up to you to decide whether to take over or give up. I won't interfere with you anymore."
"And I will fully support your choice."
"If you take over the three branches of the Tang Sect, I will follow you upward at all costs until I become the new head of the Tang Sect."
If the Tang Clan whirlpool could not be avoided, Ye Fan simply asked Song Hongyan to step through the whirlpool and eliminate all dangers.
Moreover, he owed Song Hongyan a lot for the Tang Clan matter, so Ye Fan decided to make it up to the woman.
"Okay, let me think about it."
Song Hongyan's voice also became serious: "If things cannot be avoided, then accept them calmly."
"That's right!"
Ye Fan nodded: "If you can't avoid the sharp sword, then hold the hilt of the sword."
Song Hongyan asked: "By the way, how did Zhong Changqing get to Longdu?"
There are many obstacles, and Zhong Changqing is still seriously injured. How can he make it far and lock down Tang Yuanba's attack?
"I'm also wondering about this."
Ye Fan had the same puzzlement on his face, and his tone was solemn: "Zhong Changqing's wound that I punched has not healed, and the entry and exit of Baocheng is heavily guarded. Logically speaking, he should not be able to escape."
"But the fact is that he appeared in Longdu and died together with Tang Yuanba."
"But Cai Lingzhi is already investigating, and I think he can dig out some clues."
He exhaled a long breath: "I'm still curious about his motive for attacking Tang Yuanba."
Song Hongyan nodded lightly: "There must be someone to help Zhong Changqing, and there is even a special channel for them."
"I think so."
Ye Fan said softly: "So let Wei Hongchao do his best to detect 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 fight to the death in Maple Leaf Kingdom and the fight to the death in Baocheng have already made the two sides in a state of conflict."
"And Tang Yuanba died when Tang Ruoxue returned to Longdu."
"There is no guarantee that Tang Yuanba's die-hard loyalists will lose their minds and regard Tang Ruoxue as the murderer behind the scenes."
"With Zhong Changqing dying without venting his anger, there is a high probability that they will attack Tang Ruoxue."
Song Hongyan said quietly: "Tell her to be careful when entering and exiting, so as not to capsize in the gutter."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "This woman should not come back..."
