Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 200 - 201: Qin Long is the Mastermind Behind the Scenes!

"That’s right, Young Master Wang. There’s no need to get angry over a mere pest." The other Tang Family members also smiled and tried to placate Wang Ming.

"What in the world happened?" Old Master Tang was also stunned. His face was etched with worry as he tapped the lid against his teacup, carefully replaying the recent events in his mind. This clearly didn’t add up. Why had Master Jin Liu’s attitude done a complete one-eighty?

"Old Master, I think Qin Long must be secretly colluding with Master Jin Liu..." Wang Ming began, steeling his heart, determined to completely slander Qin Long. However, he suspected that even he wouldn’t believe his own words.

"Did you all notice? Master Jin Liu was being a little too humble toward Qin Long, wasn’t he?" Tang Xuewu’s second uncle, Tang Sen, voiced his own doubts.

"Yes, he was far too humble..."

"He seemed almost deferential..."

Hearing Tang Sen’s analysis, the other family members began to ponder as well.

Wang Ming was cursing a storm in his head. Wasn’t he the one who was hurt the most? He had gone to so much trouble, planned everything, and even paid Jin Liu a fortune. In the end, that bastard went and groveled before that cripple Qin Long like a dog. How could he not be furious?

"I suspect Qin Long must know one of Master Jin Liu’s friends. That’s why he was so polite!" Tang Sen said solemnly, slowly sipping his tea.

"Father’s analysis is right! Qin Long must know one of Master Jin Liu’s friends!" Tang Chuchu chimed in. In her heart, she doubted Qin Long could possibly know someone powerful enough to make Master Jin Liu show such deference. Still, it was the only explanation that made sense right now!

"I’ve got it! Qin Long must be colluding with Master Jin Liu to swindle the Tang Family out of its money! That’s why Master Jin Liu was so humble to him!" Tang Yuxiang blurted out, a sudden realization dawning on him.

At his words, everyone gasped. If that were true, then Qin Long was worse than a beast!

"That’s right, it has to be! I saw Qin Long and Master Jin Liu exchanging glances earlier!" Wang Ming sneered inwardly, determined to seize this opportunity to slander Qin Long. He even gave Tang Yuxiang a subtle thumbs-up. Just when he was racking his brain for a way to get back at Qin Long, Tang Yuxiang had handed him this brilliant idea on a silver platter.

"Grandfather, Qin Long must be resentful that we’ve been neglecting him, so he deliberately colluded with Master Jin Liu to scheme against our family’s assets! That thing is worse than a pig or a dog! What an ungrateful, heartless monster!" Tang Yuxiang cursed.

"But why did he say it was all a mistake later?" Tang De asked Tang Yuxiang, looking completely bewildered.

"You, shut your mouth!" Zhang Meilan glared at Tang De. She didn’t care if it was true or not; all that mattered was getting Qin Long kicked out of the Tang Family. If the Old Master believed this, he would never tolerate Qin Long staying.

"Father, it must have been because he was scared of Young Master Wang’s power! And don’t forget the team of lawyers," Tang Yuxiang explained, bowing obsequiously toward Wang Ming with a fawning expression.

"Ah, so that’s how it was." The Tang Family members slowly sank into contemplation.

"Qin Long is trying to get revenge on our family! He wants to team up with Master Jin Liu to devour the Tang Family’s real estate and ancestral home. Otherwise, why would a big shot like Master Jin Liu associate with a good-for-nothing cripple like Qin Long? They must have reached some kind of secret agreement.

"But they didn’t count on Young Master Wang showing up in person, nor did they anticipate Jiang Tiantian’s legal team. Besides, even without the lawyers, someone as smart as Young Master Wang would have exposed their plot on the spot. That’s why they had no choice but to back off and abandon their plan!"

Tang Yuxiang’s explanation convinced the Tang Family. They all nodded in agreement, and their admiration for Wang Ming suddenly reached a new peak.

"Haha, thank you for saving us, Young Master Wang!"

"So it was your influence that scared Master Jin Liu away! What an eye-opener!"

An endless stream of gratitude was directed at Wang Ming, and Tang Chuchu couldn’t stop sending flirtatious glances his way.

"Ahem. To be honest, I didn’t want you to know I was the one who intervened," Wang Ming said, cleverly taking all the credit. "It seems someone in Jiangzhong holds a grudge against the Tang Family and has been working against you in the shadows. But after a stern warning from me, Wang Ming, they won’t dare to act rashly again. You can all rest assured."

Although he hadn’t managed to completely remove the thorn in his side that was Qin Long, he had successfully re-established his authority in the eyes of the Tang Family.

Hearing this, Old Master Tang shot to his feet. "Young Master Wang, we can never repay the immense kindness you’ve shown the Tang Family! Without you, our family might truly have been destroyed today!" Old Master Tang’s face was flushed with excitement, his voice full of adulation.

He was suddenly reminded of what Li Cong had said the other day—that a powerful benefactor was secretly helping the Tang Family. I always thought it was Qin Long, but now it seems it was really Wang Ming all along! With the top-tier Wang Family of Jiangzhong involved, who would dare cause trouble for the Tang Family now?

"Old Master Tang, you’re being too formal," Wang Ming said immediately, his heart brimming with joy. "Xuewu will marry into the Wang Family sooner or later and become one of us. Helping the Tang Family is the same as helping our own, isn’t it?"

The Tang Family members were deeply moved by his words.

Zhang Meilan, beaming, nudged Tang De. "See that, Tang De? Now *that’s* a real catch! Look at the Old Master’s attitude. If our daughter marries Wang Ming, who in their right mind would dare to bully our side of the family?" A cold, arrogant smile spread across Zhang Meilan’s face.

"That’s enough. Stop spouting nonsense," Tang De snapped, his expression darkening.

"You—!" Zhang Meilan simply ignored him and joined the fawning crowd.

"Grandfather, we were lucky that Young Master Wang stepped in this time and foiled Qin Long’s plan," Tang Yuxiang said with the grave air of a detective. "But we must remain vigilant. I even suspect that Qin Long is the one secretly causing trouble with the Li Family project."

It was a plausible thought. After all, who would just offer up such a profitable deal for no reason? If Qin Long’s goal was to seize the Tang Family’s assets, then everything would make perfect sense.

"I will be on my guard," Old Master Tang replied, his eyebrows raising in a look of understanding.

"Grandfather, this isn’t a sustainable solution," Tang Chuchu said while massaging the Old Master’s legs. "The only way to stop this from happening again is to kick Qin Long out of the Tang Family for good. Otherwise, who knows when that little demon will pop up and try to bite us!"

Many of the family members voiced their strong support for her suggestion, but Old Master Tang raised a hand to quiet them, sighing helplessly.

"No. He saved my life," the Old Master insisted, a sliver of conscience still intact. "Driving him out now would be inappropriate."

"Grandfather, he probably just got lucky!" Tang Chuchu argued. "And so what if he did help you? If the Tang Family hadn’t saved him three years ago, he’d be dead already. Isn’t it his duty to treat you? You don’t owe him anything for that!"
