Chapter 173: Rupture
Tang Xin’s tightly clenched fists exposed her fury but she didn’t show any emotions. She found a spot and sat down, picking up and looking through all the evidence placed on the table.
The fact was that her father directed a kidnap case himself.
He was only missing but had directed a kidnapping of himself after realizing that so many people were searching for him, searching for a large amount for ransom.
She was worried sick for so long and her Second Brother had also warned her, but she did everything she could knowing it could’ve been fake. What did she get in the end?
The father in front of her eyes lied to her yet he showed no signs of regret nor guilt for the lie, he even had the courage to tell her to speak to her Uncle, saying that he should have that one hundred million?
Nothing sadder than a withered heart — this must be how it feels like to be discouraged and bitterly disappointed.
“Dad, how many days did you really go missing for?” Tang Xin suddenly asked calmly.
“I’m telling you to talk to your Uncle about the money — it was for an emergency, why do you keep going on with useless questions?” Tang Zhenhai scowled.
“I want to know when you were safe.” Tang Xin insisted for once.
Tang Zhenhai realized that his daughter was slightly different. She dared to look at him in the eyes and express herself, was it the work of Li Yunshen?
This meant that it would be more difficult to control and use her; it would be better for him to play along.
“After the riot in South Africa, I was saved as one of the rebels. When I woke up, the local government was there to arrest those rebels and I escaped then. Lucky I was smart…”
When Tang Zhenhai was spitting saliva everywhere and recounting how he escaped, Tang Xin’s heart turned completely cold.
He had been safe for so long but he hid without contacting her, pretending to be missing to direct the kidnapping three days ago, using her panic to earn the ransom.
They were both born in the Tang Family, but was he still human being able to do something like that? He’s gone crazy from thinking about money too much!
“Xinxin, I’ll let you decide on this. I gave you the money like you’ve asked. The deal between us won’t change.” Tang Qian placed the bone china teacup down and stated indifferently.
If others saw him, they would widen their eyes in shock as the man who was in control of the Tang Family, the CEO of Tang Enterprise, was such a good looking and young man!
“Xinxin, don’t be silly now! Your Aunt Qiu and younger brother are still waiting for me to go back to South Africa!” Tang Zhenhai said.
Aunt Qiu was the woman her Dad married after sending her Mom to the mental hospital. Her stepmother gave birth to a child, her so-called brother. The brother she wanted to hold but never could, the brother who was ashamed of her after he grew up.
“If you really can’t bear to watch them waiting for you, then how could you hide for two months without going home?” Tang Xin asked in a soft voice.
“I…what kind of attitude is that?! Do I need you to mind my own business?!” Tang Zhenhai was at loss for words and immediately raged.
Tang Xin’s heart was numb as she watched him coldly, eventually turning to Tang Qian, who didn’t intervene at all, “Uncle, is there another choice as to what I can do with that amount of money?”
“What? You little bastard, what do you want to do?!” Tang Zhenhai realized something was wrong and dashed forward, wanting to slap Tang Xin awake.
The man sitting on the couch finally moved. He pulled Tang Xin and kicked Tang Zhenhai away fiercely, then gracefully patted the dust off his clothes, “Don’t lose your face in front of me!”
