Chapter 63-Part 1

Using the authority of the head of the family, Tang Xin invited the three elders to her room, stating that there were important matters to discuss.

Upon entering, the third elder immediately saw Tang Jingnan tied up and unconscious on the floor and was both shocked and furious. He signaled his subordinates to seize Tang Xin and quickly charged at Yan Hao himself.

Yan Hao effortlessly captured the third elder, knocking him unconscious and tying him up as well.

Tang Xin then scattered some powder towards those charging at her.

The faster they rushed, the quicker they fell. Soon, the floor was littered with unconscious bodies.

“Don’t you think this is just a misunderstanding? We can resolve this through dialogue, not necessarily through violence,” Tang Xin teased, looking at the other two elders.

The first elder coughed lightly, maintaining his composure, and found a chair to sit on at a distance, saying warmly, “I heard that the head of the family has something to discuss with the elders?”

The second elder’s face was icy as she coldly remarked, “Tang Xin, don’t forget, you bear the Tang surname.”

“If I didn’t remember, I would have erased the Tang family long ago,” Tang Xin retorted, kicking at the pile of people at her feet with disdain, “They’ve been drugged and will be unconscious for about an hour. No one’s dead.”

“Unconscious?” The second elder’s eyes darkened, almost instinctively asking, “Is the ghostly disturbance in the garden related to you?”

“I just taught Tang Ning and the steward a small lesson. As for whether the garden is haunted, I’m not sure,” Tang Xin replied with a smile.

The second elder was furious, “If you don’t know, who does? Don’t think you can clear yourself of suspicion!”

The first elder wanted to knock out his pig teammate.

Before criticizing someone from a high position, shouldn’t you assess the situation first? They could easily capture the third elder and the family head; they’re no match for them.

In a group fight, if more powder is scattered, everyone would be down.

When Tang Xin said she could wipe out the Tang family, it was no bluff.

The first elder coughed heavily, glanced at the second elder with a warning look, and then slowly said, “Since the eighth young miss called us here, there must be something to discuss. Everything can be negotiated; let’s not be hasty.”

The second elder shut her mouth.

The first elder reiterated his question, “The eighth young miss said the head of the family has something to discuss with the elders?” With everyone unconscious, how can we discuss anything?

“Yes,” Tang Xin said seriously, “I’m talking about the next head of the family.”

The first elder was taken aback, “Eighth young miss, please don’t joke with me.”

“There are two ways to win the position of head of the family. The first is to directly multiply one’s initial capital by thirty times. The second, in the absence of anyone meeting the first condition, is to compare the assets of each person in the fifth year, with the one having the most assets being the winner. Isn’t that correct?” Tang Xin asked.

Turning ten thousand into three hundred thousand or one million into thirty million, the latter is easier. So, even if both multiply their capital by thirty times, those with higher initial amounts have an advantage.

Of course, multiplying by thirty times is very difficult. Without cheating, being a genius, or having incredible luck, it’s almost impossible. Generally, the second method is used to determine the winner.

“That’s correct,” the first elder nodded.

“Very good,” Tang Xin smiled with satisfaction, “I’m waiting for a guest. While we wait, we can chat a bit. You said I wanted to clear myself? You’re wrong; I don’t need to. Because whether I admit it or not, there’s nothing you can do to me.”

The second elder was too shocked to speak. This was the first time she encountered such an arrogant person.

When others met with the elder council, they were always respectful and courteous.

The first elder was silent for a while, then asked, “Why did you act against the tenth young master? You are siblings.”

Tang Xin raised an eyebrow, “You really don’t know? Two years ago, I chose Yan Hao. For that, Tang Ning stormed into my room with a knife, intending to kill me. If he truly regarded me as his sister, he would never have done that.”

“As for the steward, he privately informed Tang Ning of my choice of guard and obstructed my self-defense. There’s no reason to take a beating and not fight back.”

“I’ve always believed that there’s retribution in the world. Since father protected Tang Ning and refused to stand up for me, I had to take matters into my own hands and seek justice for myself.”

Tang Xin looked meaningfully at the first elder, “Revenge for grievances, retaliation for wrongs; as long as you don’t offend me, I won’t bother with many things.”

The first elder sighed, “The eighth young miss could have told the elder council about these matters and let us seek justice for you.”

Tang Xin didn’t even think about it and refused, “No need to trouble yourselves. I’m used to handling my own affairs.”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Tang Xin said.

A person entered, stunned by the scene in the room, “Eighth sister?”

Tang Xin greeted warmly, “Come in; I have something to discuss with you.”

Tang Jing, confused, entered with her guard, closed the door, and found a chair to sit on.

As soon as Tang Xin started to speak, Tang Jing was so frightened that her legs became weak, and she directly fell into the chair.

“Tang Jing has already multiplied her initial capital by thirty times and is eligible to compete for the position of the next head of the family.”

Tang Jing was shocked. When did she achieve that? Why didn’t she know?

Tang Xin turned her head slightly and winked, “Ninth sister, do you want to be the next head of the Tang family?”

Tang Jing was stunned.

When she was young, she had dreamed of becoming the next head of the family, imagining herself in a powerful position.

But she knew that was impossible. Even if the same generation in the Tang family was weak and stupid, they wouldn’t let a C-level person become the head of the family.

However, now, she had not only taken the gene purification agent and become a B-level gene, but she also had a real chance to become the head of the family!

Tang Jing felt dizzy, like she was dreaming.

What surprised her even more was that the eighth sister only asked if she wanted it, not if she could do it. It was as if, as long as she agreed, the eighth sister would make her the next head of the family.

“I want to,” Tang Jing replied quickly.

The opportunity was in front of her. This choice would change her life, and she couldn’t hesitate.

“Then there’s no problem,” Tang Xin clapped her hands, delighted.

The first elder’s mouth twitched. No problem? There’s a big problem!

“Ninth Miss has multiplied her initial capital by thirty times? Why haven’t I heard about this before?”

Tang Jing remained silent. She didn’t know she had that much capital.

“A person leaving home can have a maximum of ten thousand credit points, and Tang Jing’s federal card has three hundred thousand credit points. She has definitely met the requirement,” Tang Xin said confidently.

“I need to confirm the amount on the federal card,” the first elder hesitated and said.

Tang Jing sensed something and secretly checked her comunicator.

Sure enough, there was a new unread message. A few minutes ago, her comunicator received a message stating that three hundred thousand credit points had been transferred to her account.

Tang Jing’s hands trembled. Did the eighth sister transfer three hundred thousand credit points to her to bring down Tang Ning?

She suddenly remembered the eighth sister saying she wasn’t short of money, and she started to sweat.

She used to think she wasn’t short of money because she spent freely.

But she didn’t realize the eighth sister’s “not short of money” was on a different level…

In fact, her initial capital was only sixty thousand credit points. Even if it multiplied by thirty, it would only be one hundred eighty thousand.

Tang Jing calmly placed the federal card on the table, “Take it and check.”

The first elder handed the card to the second elder, signaling her to go.

The second elder hesitated. If she left, the first elder would be alone in the room, and it might be dangerous.

The first elder said calmly, “I’m in the Tang family, accompanied by the current head and the future head. How could anything happen?”

The second elder left assured.

Tang Xin praised, “Luckily, the first elder is here. If I had to communicate with the second elder, even if I wanted to talk nicely, I might be forced to act.”

The first elder smiled wryly. He didn’t feel flattered at all.

He couldn’t help but be curious, “If I regarded the ninth miss as the eighth miss’s accomplice, what would the eighth miss do?”

Tang Xin sighed, “If Tang Jing couldn’t become the head of the family, to prevent Tang Ning from taking the position, I would reluctantly destroy the Tang family.”

The first elder felt fortunate that he hadn’t tried any tricks.

Choosing between “destroying the Tang family” and “making Tang Jing the head” was a no-brainer.

He decided that even if Tang Jing’s federal card didn’t have enough credit points, he would transfer money from the Tang family’s treasury to her card to make her qualify.
