"Alright, to revive my son and avenge him, I will fully assist you in reclaiming the treasure map."
As Song Sanfeng spoke, an extremely cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Kuteng glanced at him covertly, baring his teeth chillingly, and said nothing more.
A moment later, he looked at the female ninja and instructed, "Your next task is very simple. Return to Sakura Country and inform the President of the general situation here. Also, have him send another batch of experts to deal specifically with Li Yang."
"This time, I will tear Li Yang to shreds. Anyone who dares to disrupt my plans will pay a heavy price."
"Understood, Mr. Kuteng. I will report back immediately."
After the female ninja said this respectfully, she turned and withdrew.
Subsequently, in order to find the treasure as quickly as possible, Song Sanfeng immediately summoned his subordinates to prepare the car. He, along with Kuteng, headed to Jiangcheng to compete with Xu Shenglong's so-called righteous antique factions for the treasure map.
Two hours later, Li Yang returned to Jiangcheng by car.
During the few days he had been away, Jiangcheng still looked as familiar and welcoming as ever!
After all, this was where he was born and raised. No matter where he went to develop, this would always be his hometown, and the most familiar place in the world.
"I wonder how Xin Yu is doing."
Li Yang snapped back to reality and couldn't help but worry about Tang Xinyu. Although he had sent Qian Long to help, he had not yet received any news about the progress of the plan.
Just as he was about to call Qian Long to inquire about the situation, his screen lit up. It was Qian Long calling.
He eagerly answered, casually asking, "Hello, Qian Long."
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
Qian Long's voice was extremely anxious and panicked as he said, "Tang Xinyu and Tang Hucheng have both been captured. Their whereabouts are currently unknown."
"What? How could they have been captured? What happened?" Li Yang's heart sank, and he quickly asked.
"I'm not sure either. As you instructed, I acquired all the remaining shares of the Tang family, except for Tang Xinyu and Tang Hucheng, yesterday, thwarting Tang Yilong's plan."
"I thought that matter was over and planned to sign the contracts with them today. But when I arrived at Tang Corporation today, I found the office in disarray. After inquiring, I learned that Miss Tang and Tang Hucheng were both captured."
Qian Long explained the detailed events to Li Yang over the phone.
Upon hearing this, a cold light appeared in Li Yang's eyes. He said directly, "Where are you now? I'll come find you."
"Master, you're back from the provincial capital? I'm at Tang Corporation. I'll wait for you here," Qian Long replied.
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Yang immediately rushed to Tang Corporation to find Qian Long.
In the president's office of Tang Corporation, Qian Long was pacing back and forth, anxiously awaiting clues.
Before Li Yang arrived, he had already dispatched many subordinates to investigate the matter. As soon as there was any development, his subordinates would immediately report the whereabouts of Tang Hucheng and Tang Xinyu.
However, a full hour had passed, and he had not received any clues, making him suspect that something had gone wrong.
"Master, you're here."
Before long, Qian Long saw Li Yang walking in from outside and immediately walked towards him. "I've sent people to search, but there are no results yet."
"I know. When I came up from downstairs just now, I asked about the situation. I came here to see if I could find any clues from this side."
Li Yang looked at the messy office, which clearly showed signs of a struggle.
He believed that as long as the perpetrators had been there, they would have left some evidence.
"Master, I've examined the traces in this room, but there are no obvious clues left. Those people were prepared. They wore black masks and gloves. They didn't even leave fingerprints at the scene, and no one knows their identities," Qian Long explained.
"Is that so? They didn't even show their faces?"
Li Yang frowned, thinking that if they didn't show their faces, it was undoubtedly the work of acquaintances.
They were worried about being recognized, which was why they staged this incident.
"Let me ask you, did you encounter any resistance when you acquired the shares from those shareholders yesterday?" Li Yang asked back.
"This..."
Qian Long scratched the back of his head, paused for two seconds, and then said, "There was indeed resistance. Although my offer was very high, they were not very willing to sell their shares to me. It was only when I invoked my father's name that they compromised."
"Then it adds up."
Li Yang suddenly realized that all the problems stemmed from Qian Long.
He had asked Qian Long to acquire those people's shares with the intention of them willingly selling their shares to Qian Long, not through coercion.
Once they were dissatisfied, after Qian Long absorbed their shares, they would have no qualms about retaliating against the Tang family, relying on the fact that they were no longer part of the Tang Corporation.
They must have assumed that Tang Xinyu and Tang Hucheng had invited Qian Long, so they would definitely want revenge.
"Master, you mean those shareholders of Tang Corporation captured Tang Hucheng and Miss Tang?" Qian Long also suddenly came to his senses and asked in surprise.
"They are merely pawns being manipulated. The real culprit should be Tang Yilong."
After analyzing seriously, Li Yang turned to Qian Long and said, "Immediately have your subordinates focus their search on those shareholders' companies, especially areas that Tang Yilong can directly control."
"Since Tang Yilong wants to capture them, it must be for control of the Tang family. They should not be in immediate danger. As long as we can find them quickly, we will be able to rescue them."
"Understood, Master. I'll get it done right away."
After agreeing, Tang Yilong immediately arranged for his subordinates to search.
Li Yang, meanwhile, searched the office diligently for clues about those people. After a thorough search of the office, he finally found a bronze token among the documents under the desk.
Picking it up and examining it closely, Li Yang's brows furrowed. The item bore a large character "Wang."
As far as Li Yang knew, there was indeed an antique shop in Jiangcheng with the surname Wang that specialized in bronze antiques. Could it be that these people who came to capture them were all subordinates of the Wang family?
With this thought, Li Yang decided to investigate personally.
As he was about to leave, Qian Long asked, "Master, where are you going? I'll go with you."
"You wait here for clues. I'll go alone."
After refusing him, Li Yang set off alone, carrying the bronze token, and headed towards the Wang family's territory.
Ten minutes later, Li Yang arrived at an antique shop called Bronze Treasure Pavilion. The shop was not small, and the owner was named Wang Tong, a well-known figure in the antique industry.
Li Yang looked up at the magnificent bronze plaque, which exuded momentum and authority!
