Chapter 60-Part 2

They searched the Tang family thoroughly inside and out but found nothing suspicious.

Had the thief already left? Or was there an inside job? Tang Jingnan was uncertain.

The study was a mess. After tidying up, he found no important documents missing. In fact, he never left important documents on his study desk.

The fact that the thief went straight to the study without searching elsewhere was quite suspicious. However, since they hadn’t caught the thief, it was hard to say if they were still in the Tang family or not.

Tang Jingnan pondered for a long time and decided to increase the Tang family’s security, add more patrols by the guards, and act as if the incident was over. Meanwhile, he would secretly send people to investigate slowly.

“Something’s wrong!” someone exclaimed, rushing into the study and collapsing to the ground.

Tang Jingnan frowned slightly. Panicking over the smallest thing. When the steward was around, such a loss of composure never happened. There was no calmness, like a mountain collapsing in front of them.

“What is it?” Tang Jingnan asked calmly.

The person lowered their head, trembling, “The tenth young master, he suddenly fainted in the garden!”

“Crash—” Tang Jingnan squeezed the porcelain teacup in his hand too hard, shattering it, unable to believe his ears.

His face turned ashen, losing his usual calmness.

“What did you say? Say it again.”

According to the schedule, today was supposed to be the last day the tenth young master stayed at home.

Tomorrow, he was supposed to take a spaceship to another planet.

“Someone found the tenth young master fainted in the garden, with no one else around,” the person repeated, gritting their teeth and adding, “Just like the steward.”

Fainting, garden, steward.

Tang Jingnan felt a surge of foreboding.

**

At this moment, the white-bearded physician was in a frenzy.

He carefully examined the tenth young master, but the results were the same as the steward’s—no abnormalities. However, he didn’t dare to hastily announce this conclusion.

He already knew about the steward’s death in the pond. He remembered that after the steward fainted, he had declared everything was normal. Yet in reality, the steward’s strength had significantly declined, something he had failed to detect.

What if he said there were no abnormalities again and the tenth young master ended up with health issues?

The white-bearded physician shivered at the thought.

Misdiagnosing once wasn’t a big deal, especially since it was just a servant. But the tenth young master was supposed to inherit the Tang family!

Therefore, the white-bearded physician frowned deeply, racking his brain, and kept silent.

“What’s the situation?” Tang Jingnan asked as soon as he entered the room.

The white-bearded physician answered cautiously, “From his physical condition, everything seems normal. But the tenth young master fainted without any reason, so there might be an underlying issue. We should monitor and adjust his condition for a while and observe further.”

Tang Jingnan knew what this meant. When the steward fainted, the white-bearded pysician found no abnormalities. Now he spoke of an underlying issue and further observation, implying that he still couldn’t find anything wrong.

However, the white-bearded physician was the best in the Tang family, having worked hard for many years. Tang Jingnan couldn’t criticize him outright.

“No need for further checks. When the tenth young master wakes up, have him spar with a guard.”

The white-bearded doctor was stunned but then realized it was a good idea. Rather than relying on a bunch of data, which might not reveal the health status, a direct sparring match would immediately show if there was a problem.

Soon, Tang Ning woke up.

With a sullen face, he asked the white-bearded physician, “What’s wrong with me?”

The steward had suddenly fainted and then experienced a significant decline in strength.

Would the same happen to him?

Tang Jingnan summoned a level 4 martial artist and said with a stern face, “Fight him, and you’ll find out.”

Tang Ning gritted his teeth, got up from the bed, and faced his opponent head-on.

The two exchanged blows for several rounds.

Tang Ning felt increasingly at ease—he still had the upper hand against a fourth-level opponent.

After a while, Tang Ning voluntarily stopped and smiled broadly, “I’m fine, perfectly healthy, just like before.”

Tang Jingnan’s face remained grim.

Too many things had happened recently, giving him a persistent sense of unease.

“To be cautious, undergo a comprehensive examination. Check your genetic level and do a blood test. Only when everything is clear will I be reassured.”

However, as soon as the genetic test was completed, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. The device displayed a glaring “B” grade.

Yan Hao returned to the room after finishing his task, looking relaxed.

“It’s done.”

Tang Xin’s eyelid twitched. After being molested, he now acted as if nothing had happened.

“How did you do it?” Tang Xin asked, ready to nitpick and find a reason to kick him out of the room, making him spend the night outside.

“The tenth young master sent his pretty female guard away on an errand and stood by the pond, mumbling as if talking to the fish. Seeing him alone in the garden, I seized the opportunity and used a drug to knock him out. It was a straightforward process, very smooth. Given that the steward had just had an incident, and now the tenth young master fainted in the garden, they would surely conduct a thorough examination. It will be easy to detect his genetic level has dropped,” Yan Hao explained honestly.

“…”

There was nothing to criticize.

Tang Xin, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed, said, “Go make me dinner! I’m happy today for having tricked Tang Ning, so let’s celebrate with six dishes and soup!”

“Six dishes and soup would be too much. I’ll make four dishes and soup. Wait for me in the room,” Yan Hao coaxed gently.

Tang Xin watched him roll up his sleeves and head to the kitchen, feeling speechless.

He took her seriously.

She couldn’t help but hold her forehead, wondering what to do with him.
