Chapter 340: Who Is It, After All!

Chuandu City, Tang Family Compound.

The night was deep, and the Tang Family Residence was brightly lit, like daylight.

This great clan, which has dominated Chuandu City for a hundred years, has a residence that spans a vast area, exuding the majesty of a noble aristocratic family everywhere.

At this moment, in the study of the Tang Family Head's Residence, Tang Zongjie was sitting behind a rosewood desk.

Just then, a rapid mobile phone ringtone shattered the study's silence.

Tang Zongjie frowned, picked up the phone, saw the caller ID, and instantly felt a thread of ominous foreboding.

Ruoxi had been on the run from her marriage these past days; he had already sent people to look for her for a long time—could there finally be news?

He pressed the answer button, his tone carrying a hint of authority.

"He Bin, any news on Ruoxi?"

On the other end, He Bin's voice came immediately, tinged with sobbing.

"Family Head! It's bad! A serious matter! The young lady... the young lady has been kidnapped by a Heavenly Person!"

"What?"

Tang Zongjie sprang up from his chair, and the calm on his face was instantly replaced by anger.

He slammed the table hard, causing the tea cups on it to jump, spilling a good amount of tea.

"He Bin! Speak clearly! Who on earth dared to kidnap my daughter, Tang Zongjie?"

His voice thundered like a sudden storm, filled with suppressed fury.

"What are the four Grandmasters good for? I tasked you with protecting Ruoxi, not watching her be kidnapped!"

He was so anxious about his daughter's safety that he didn't even hear that He Bin said the kidnapper was a Heavenly Human Realm Expert!

He Bin, hearing Tang Zongjie's rebuke, trembled all over in fear.

"Family Head, it's not that we failed to protect you; the opponent is simply too powerful! He... he is a Heavenly Human Realm Expert! We are no match at all!"

"Heavenly Human Realm?"

Tang Zongjie was momentarily stunned, and the anger on his face instantly solidified.

"Nonsense!"

"Although Ruoxi can be a bit willful and often stirs up minor trouble, how could she have provoked a Heavenly Human Realm Expert? A figure of such stature would never bother a little girl!"

He paused, then couldn't help but add.

"Moreover, our Tang family also has a Heavenly Human Realm Expert stationed with us; even if Ruoxi inadvertently offended him, he has no reason to clash with the Tang family! Could there be some misunderstanding?"

As a top-tier family in Chuandu City, the Tang family indeed has a Heavenly Human Realm ancestor stationed.

Although he remains in seclusion for years, his reputation spreads far, and ordinary martial factions dare not easily provoke the Tang family.

A Heavenly Human Realm Expert would have no reason to disregard the Tang family's existence and openly kidnap his daughter.

He Bin, knowing Tang Zongjie didn't believe him and daring not to hide anything, hurriedly recounted in full detail the events that had just occurred in the Jiangcheng Revolving Restaurant.

After hearing He Bin's words, Tang Zongjie fell into a brief silence.

His brows knit tightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the tabletop.

He never imagined his daughter would suffer such an unwarranted disaster because of the Tang family.

"Family Head..."

He Bin couldn't hear Tang Zongjie's response, his heart grew even more uneasy, and he asked cautiously.

"Should we inform the Xie Family Head about this? I think that Heavenly Human Realm Expert harbors deep hatred toward the Xie Family and is so powerful that if the Xie Family Head doesn't intervene, I'm afraid this won't be resolved! The young lady's safety..."

What he feared most now was Tang Ruoxi's life; that Heavenly Human Realm Expert didn't seem to be joking at all, and if the Xie Family doesn't step in, the young lady could truly be in danger!

"No!"

But unexpectedly, Tang Zongjie outright rejected his suggestion.

"Zhennan has now attained some insight and is in seclusion; this is his critical breakthrough period and must not be disturbed!"

Tang Zongjie's tone was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"If we disturb him over this trivial matter and he becomes angry, even my Tang family couldn't bear such fury!"

Xie Zhennan, not only the head of the Yunding Xie Family with unfathomable strength, is also his brother‑in‑law.

He knows Xie Zhennan's temperament well; if his seclusion is disturbed, the consequences would be unimaginable—let alone rescuing Ruoxi, the Tang family could be implicated.

He Bin felt a chill run through his heart at those words.

"What shall we do? Family Head! The Xie Family has no one to send, and the opponent is a Heavenly Human Realm Expert; we are no match, the young lady could truly die!"

He truly had no solution now.

Heavenly Human Realm—he's not even a Grand Master, how could he rescue anyone?

Tang Zongjie paced back and forth anxiously inside the room.

After a while, he finally stopped.

"He Bin, listen!"

"Now, immediately take people to Jiangnan Wangfu and ask Jiangnan Wang to intervene, first investigate what kind of person this Heavenly Human Realm is!"

Tang Zongjie said in a deep voice.

"After all, Jiangnan Wang nominally governs the Southeast Three Provinces and should be able to uncover useful clues!"

Jiangnan Wang is, after all, an Imperial Clan member, and the incident occurred in Jiangcheng, which is his main base.

Having him help investigate the identity of that Heavenly Human Realm is the most reliable method right now.

"Yes! Family Head!"

He Bin replied promptly.

"Besides, I'm going to ask my father to step in right now!"

Tang Zongjie continued, his tone bearing a hint of pride.

"Isn't it just the Heavenly Human Realm? My Tang Family certainly has one! My father is an old‑established Heavenly Human Realm; as long as he steps forward, the other side will have to take it into account! Moreover…"

Tang Zongjie paused, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.

"Ruoxi is still the Song Family's daughter‑in‑law who hasn't entered the household; for that Song Family elder of the Heavenly Human Realm, I will also send someone to invite him! I think he wouldn't just stand by while his own granddaughter‑in‑law faces danger!"

The Song Family is another top‑tier family in Chuandu Cheng, and the Tang Family are long‑standing acquaintances; the two families have long ago arranged a marriage between Tang Ruoxi and the Song Family's eldest grandson.

The Song Family also has a Heavenly Human Realm elder stationed there; if we can persuade him to act, the two Heavenly Humans joining forces, even if the opponent is a Heavenly Person Realm Expert, will certainly not be able to obtain any advantage!

Upon hearing this, He Bin finally let out a sigh of relief, his hanging heart finally settled.

With two Heavenly Human Realm strongmen stepping forward, plus the assistance of Jiangnan Wang, the young lady should be fine!

"Yes! Family Head! I'm heading to Jiangnan Wangfu right now!"

He Bin promptly replied respectfully.

"Go! Remember, be especially respectful; no matter what Jiangnan Wang asks for, try to satisfy it as much as possible!"

Tang Zongjie reminded, after all he had heard that Jiangnan Wang's appetite is quite large.

Now the Tang Family are seeking help, so their posture naturally must be lowered.

"Your subordinate understands!"

He Bin replied and hung up the phone, while Tang Zongjie slowly walked to the window. He looked up at the Moon outside, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the window frame.

"A Heavenly Human Realm who bears a grudge against the Xie Family suddenly appears? And he's so young… Who exactly is he?"

Tang Zongjie remained silent for a long time, then a flash of shock flickered in his eyes.

"Jiangnan, could it be that person?"
