Chapter 172

A Tang family member beside him immediately nodded and said: "Aren't they a killer organization? I guess someone must have paid to hire them to assassinate the eldest young lady. We must investigate clearly who paid to hire them!"

"But we have never dealt with the people from Tattoo; how can we investigate who is trading with them?" Someone in the crowd raised a question.

"This..." The Tang family member who said to investigate clearly showed a difficult expression, clearly not knowing how to investigate either.

Soon, everyone looked at Tang Laoyezi sitting in the main seat.

Tang Laoyezi thought for a while and said to A Wei: "A Wei, when you were confronting Tattoo before, did you hear any clues from the other party's words?"

Upon hearing this, A Wei frowned and recalled the situation at that time: "After those people appeared and surrounded us, I told them that the eldest young lady was the person in charge of our Tang family. If they dared to move against the eldest young lady, it would be an enemy of the entire Tang family, and the Tang family would definitely spare no cost to wipe out the entire organization..."

"Given our Tang family's influence in Huaxia, even the vicious Tattoo would have scruples, but after I said those words, the head of Tattoo didn't seem to feel threatened; instead, his attitude was even tougher. I think this point is somewhat strange..."

"You said their attitude was very tough?"

The First Elder's eyes turned cold: "We Tang family are not nobodies; how could they have no fear? Even if they are all desperate people, it doesn't make sense, unless..."

"Unless what?" Someone immediately took the conversation.

"Unless the person who hired them is someone from our Tang family, and it is possible that they will gain power after the eldest young lady is gone, so they gave the killers promises, which is why they were so strong and didn't worry at all that the Tang family would hunt them down."

One of our own?

The Tang family members present gasped.

Buying a killer to assassinate the family head; this charge is quite serious.

The First Elder's words made the senior executives who didn't have low status feel a chill climbing up their spines.

This First Elder had lived and died with Tang Laoyezi and had a very high status in the Tang family.

Before, when Xu Tian said to invite family law, if it really reached that point, it would also be presided over by him.

He had been working hard for the Tang family for so many years, and even Tang Laoyezi respected him a few points.

"Cousin, your speculation is groundless."

One person suddenly stood out.

It was Tang Bingyan's Fourth Uncle, who was also the Fourth Elder of the Tang family.

After Tang Bingyan's father passed away, several senior executives of the Tang family all coveted the position of the person in charge of the Tang family, among whom this Fourth Elder was the most troublesome.

It wasn't until Tang Laoyezi defied all opinions and let Tang Bingyan take over the Tang Group that these people still didn't stop.

Later, Tang Bingyan integrated all the resources in the family with thunderous means in just half a year, which also made most Tang family members recognize her identity.

Although the Fourth Elder and his ilk didn't dare to make any small moves on the surface, most of them were still unconvinced in their hearts.

If one had to say who in the entire Tang family most hoped that Tang Bingyan would have an accident, it was probably the Fourth Elder.

He even repeatedly claimed that Tang Bingyan was too young and a woman, and was simply not worthy of being the Tang family head; the position of family head should be inherited by her.

His sudden standing out at this moment was truly somewhat intriguing.

The First Elder snorted coldly: "I am just speculating slightly based on A Wei's words; whether there is a basis or not, it will be investigated later. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that those killers were hired by you, so you are feeling guilty?"

The Fourth Elder's face turned cold suddenly: "Cousin, I respect you as an elder and don't argue with you, but you can't slander people! At that time, the situation was critical, and A Wei might not remember everything that happened completely. How can you conclude that the person who bought the killer to harm Bingyan must be a Tang family member based on his few words?"

"But if it weren't for someone inside leaking the news, how would the people from Tattoo know the eldest young lady's itinerary?"

Someone couldn't help but speak.

"The First Elder's speculation is very reasonable; after all, the eldest young lady's itinerary was confidential. Except for the accompanying personnel, only the core members of the family and the group knew about it. Even if outsiders wanted to buy a killer to kill, they couldn't judge which road the eldest young lady would take."

"However, the matter is of great importance, and we can't wrong our own people; we must investigate until there is solid evidence before convicting."

"The eldest young lady hasn't woken up yet; we can't have infighting among ourselves; let's slow down the investigation..."

"This is intentional murder; how can we slow down? What if the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't give up and wants to continue to harm the eldest young lady!"

Everyone had different opinions, and it looked like they were about to quarrel.

Suddenly, Tang Laoyezi said: "I agree with the First Elder's idea; this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end!"

"Start investigating from the Tang family members who knew the itinerary. If everyone's suspicion is ruled out, then investigate other directions."

"From now on, everyone must actively cooperate; those who don't cooperate, I have reason to directly treat them as traitors!"

"Our Tang family can develop into the first-class family in Huaxia today, not by our own people fighting among ourselves and killing each other, but by working together to manage it!"

"If I let me know who else dares to harm their brothers and relatives, don't blame me for turning against them!"

The Fourth Elder agreed humbly upon hearing this: "Old family head, I definitely won't harm Bingyan. And you know my personality; I just have a cheap mouth and love to talk nonsense, but if I were really asked to do something harmful to heaven and reason, I would absolutely not dare!"

"If you haven't done it, I naturally won't let you be framed by others."

Tang Laoyezi glanced at the Fourth Elder coldly and continued: "Butler Li, you instruct the people below..."

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Tang Laoyezi was instructing the butler to thoroughly investigate the traitor, the tall, thin old man with glasses sitting alone on the side suddenly spoke.

Xu Tian felt his heart sink suddenly when he saw the person who spoke.

"Jihuai, what else do you have?" Tang Laoyezi was somewhat surprised.

The tall, thin old man looked at the position where A Wei was with his eyes without changing his expression, and then said coldly:

"Old family head, I had already received some news here, but because there was no proof, I didn't report it to you in time. Now that Bingyan has had an accident in the Lighthouse Country, I suddenly realized that these two things might be connected."

"But I know limited information and cannot be sure that there must be something tricky in this, so I want you and everyone to decide together."

Xu Tian felt bad in his heart upon hearing this.

Even if he reversed the situation, the subsequent development of his previous life still couldn't avoid happening.

The tall, thin old man who said he had news in his hands was exactly the mastermind who planned the assassination of Tang Bingyan, Tang Jihuai!
