Half an hour later, Wang Tong led Li Yang to a private villa estate.
This was Tang Yilong's residence. Li Yang had never been to his home before, so he naturally didn't know where he lived.
Wang Tong, however, had interacted with Tang Yilong multiple times. Wang Tong held the most shares after Tang Hucheng and Tang Xinyu.
Tang Hucheng highly valued Wang Tong and often invited him to meals. Tang Yilong was frequently present as well, so they saw each other often.
"Mr. Li, this is it. But I suspect Tang Yilong must have stationed guards here after bringing people to this location. If we go up and knock directly, we might alert him and won't be able to rescue the person," Wang Tong said proactively.
"Don't worry, I'll go inside and assess the situation first. You wait for me here for a moment."
After speaking, Li Yang moved alone. He sprinted to the villa estate's wall in a flash, leaped up, and easily landed inside the villa.
"A divine being, truly a divine being!"
Seeing Li Yang's exceptional skills, Wang Tong couldn't help but show admiration, sighing inwardly.
He prayed silently, hoping Li Yang would return safely.
*Swish!*
After Li Yang landed in the estate's courtyard, he indeed saw two bodyguards guarding the front entrance of the villa. They were strong and robust, appearing to be formidable individuals.
However, Li Yang remained unfazed. Bodyguards of this caliber posed no threat to him.
He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the side of the two bodyguards with a *whoosh*. Both of them heard the sound simultaneously and instantly turned their heads.
"Who's there!"
One of them shouted and quickly ran over to investigate. To his surprise, upon reaching the front, he found no trace of anyone.
Li Yang's lips curved into a slight smile. He picked up another stone from the ground and swiftly hurled it towards the bodyguard's vital point. With a *thwack*, the stone accurately struck the bodyguard's vital spot. The bodyguard collapsed instantly, without making a sound.
"Boss, did you find something?"
The other bodyguard sensed something was amiss. Why had his boss been gone for so long without returning?
He also walked forward, intending to search for his boss. However, after only a few steps, he saw his boss lying unconscious. Just as he was about to shout, a swift figure appeared behind him.
The moment he turned his head, he saw a hand chop descending from mid-air, striking his forehead squarely. He too, immediately fainted.
After subduing both of them, Li Yang turned his attention to the villa entrance and quickly ran over.
He pulled the main door twice and found it tightly shut. However, a window in the adjacent garden was open, and he decided to infiltrate through it.
"Tang Yilong, you scoundrel, may you die a terrible death! Do you think by capturing us here, you can seize the position of Tang family patriarch? That's pure delusion!"
Tang Hucheng, securely bound by ropes, glared furiously at the arrogant Tang Yilong.
"Big brother, how can you be so foolish? Do you think I need your permission to become the Tang family patriarch? As long as you and Tang Xinyu are dead, the position of Tang family patriarch will naturally be inherited by me," Tang Yilong said arrogantly. His gaze swept towards Tang Xinyu beside him, and he fiercely grabbed her neck, his voice chilling, "I originally intended to enjoy Tang Xinyu's body, but now I've lost interest in her."
"I don't like women who are indifferent to me. That's why I've captured you all today to eliminate you. Once you're dead, I can achieve my goal of becoming the Tang family patriarch."
"Let go of Xinyu! If you have the guts, come at me!"
Tang Hucheng, seeing Tang Xinyu's face turn purple from his grip, roared with fury.
"At me? What's there about you that warrants my personal attention? But she is different. She is Li Yang's lifeline. If I kill her and present her head to Li Yang, he will surely break down."
"Then, when he's caught off guard, I'll kill him too. This way, I'll have no threats in Jiangcheng."
Tang Yilong said sinisterly, then picked up a knife from the nearby coffee table and gently placed it on Tang Xinyu's neck, smiling faintly, "Xinyu, don't blame me. Blame the man you've chosen for being useless, unable to come here and save you."
"When he sees you again, you'll already be a corpse."
"Let go of me, Tang Yilong! May you die a terrible death! If Li Yang finds out you killed me, he will personally kill you," Tang Xinyu threatened coldly, enduring the pain.
"Hahaha, do you think I'm an idiot?"
Tang Yilong laughed heartily for three seconds and continued, "When I sent people to capture you today, I deliberately left clues pointing to the Wang family at the scene. I believe with Li Yang's intelligence, he will definitely find that bronze token."
"After I kill you both, I will frame Wang Tong for all the crimes. This way, Li Yang will only think Wang Tong did it. After he kills Wang Tong, I'll kill him. This plan is simply killing two birds with one stone!"
"You, you are despicable!"
Upon hearing his entire plan, Tang Xinyu's heart filled with immense worry.
This way, Li Yang would surely fall into his trap. Uncle Wang was not a bad person, and he absolutely could not die like this.
"Haha, so what if I'm despicable? Can you two escape now and tell Li Yang this news? No, you can't. Even if you know the truth, you can't stop my plan."
Tang Yilong laughed maniacally, utterly impressed with his own intelligence.
He collected himself and looked at Tang Xinyu coldly, "Now is your death sentence. After you die, I will send Li Yang to join you soon."
"Indeed, a brilliant plan. Such a flawless scheme. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed you came up with it."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly echoed from the direction of the villa's balcony.
"Who!"
Tang Yilong's brows furrowed, and his gaze quickly swept over. He saw Li Yang calmly walking over from that direction.
Upon seeing Li Yang, his heart trembled violently, and he exclaimed in shock, "How could it be you? How did you find me?"
"Do you think your plan has no flaws? Then you are gravely mistaken. You shouldn't have, shouldn't have, tried to use Wang Tong as your scapegoat. He has such a good relationship with Uncle Tang, how could he fall for your trick and make me misunderstand him as the murderer?"
Li Yang spoke as he walked coldly towards Tang Yilong.
Tang Yilong's expression turned tense, and he shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible. Even if I didn't misunderstand him, you wouldn't have known I was the killer. I didn't leave any clues at the time."
"You indeed left no clues, but you overlooked Wang Tong's intelligence. He guessed that you had captured them, because only you were the prime suspect."
Li Yang's face was icy as he said, "Now all your schemes have been exposed, so you won't escape today. Tang Yilong, your death is imminent!"
