War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 254: Gu Yan, You Must Return

In the quiet hospital room, Tang Yuxiu’s straight figure stood by the window, while Tang Mubei leaned wearily on the sofa, head tilted back; no one spoke.

Old Sir Tang suddenly collapsing like this was difficult for both brothers to accept.

Who would have thought that the father who once commanded the business world would one day lie so helplessly on a hospital bed, unconscious.

Upon hearing that Tang Yuxiu had returned, You Shuyang immediately came to the hospital.

"Young Master, Second Master, how is the chairman?"

"Not very optimistic; Ah Hao is trying to find a solution," Tang Yuxiu replied.

You Shuyang looked at the unconscious Old Sir Tang on the hospital bed and sighed inwardly.

"Are you here because something happened at the company?"

"Young Master, nothing escapes you. I initially intended to call you back quickly, but then the chairman had this incident."

Tang Yuxiu lightly furrowed his brow and sat on the sofa with You Shuyang, "What’s the matter? Tell me."

"Young Master, do you remember the emerging company from M Country I told you about?"

Tang Yuxiu nodded, "I remember." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Back then, when You Shuyang mentioned it, this company’s background seemed a bit complex, and it rose too quickly. And, behind this company, there was a boss with the surname Gu.

"You asked me to keep an eye on their movements. I found that they have now entered Jiang City to develop," You Shuyang paused, then continued, "Moreover, their target seems to be the Tang Family. As soon as they arrived, they started to go after Tang Family’s clients."

Tang Yuxiu and Tang Mubei glanced at each other, and Tang Yuxiu let out a cold laugh, "They move so fast. Trying to bite off a big piece when their foundation in Jiang City is still unstable, aren’t they afraid of choking?"

You Shuyang said, "For some reason, the other party seems very familiar with the situation in Jiang City and even seems to be old acquaintances with some of our longstanding clients."

"Old acquaintances?" This greatly surprised Tang Yuxiu, "Who on earth are they?"

"Apologies, I haven’t found out yet. The newcomer has the Yan Family covering them, and the Yan Family is not to be trifled with. If they’re determined to hide someone, it’s absolutely impossible to find. Finding that there is someone behind them is already my best effort."

"If that’s the case, then there’s no rush. Since they have come, there will always be a time they show their face. I refuse to believe they’ll hide behind the Yan Family forever."

"Well then, Young Master, how should we respond?"

Tang Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, "We shouldn’t do anything for the time being, just keep as usual. Since they are targeting the Tang Family as soon as they arrive, they must have a well-prepared plan. We’ll watch and adapt accordingly."

You Shuyang nodded, "Yes."

"You handle the company affairs for another day. I’ll return to work tomorrow. Prepare everything, I want to see it tomorrow."

"Yes, Young Master," You Shuyang said, "Young Master, Second Master, I’m just here to report these things and see the old chairman. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the company; there’s a lot to handle."

"Thanks for the trouble."

"It’s my duty, Young Master, Second Master. I’ll take my leave."

After You Shuyang left, the two brothers still sat on the sofa, Tang Yuxiu staring at a certain point outside the window, his expression solemn.

"Brother, does that company from M Country pose a threat to the Tang Family?"

"They’re clearly targeting the Tang Family."

"Who are they?"

"Nominally, they belong to M Country’s largest overseas Chinese family, the Yan Family, but in fact, there’s a manipulator behind the scenes, quite mysterious. You Shuyang couldn’t find out who it is either."

Tang Mubei was surprised. They knew how comprehensive You Shuyang’s information network was and his capabilities in investigation. That he couldn’t unearth the figure behind all this indicated a formidable opponent.

"If it’s someone the Tang Family offended in the business world, it seems there is no one this powerful to my recollection."

Tang Yuxiu slightly squinted his eyes, his thoughts drifting. He remembered when You Shuyang said during his investigation, the mysterious person behind it all had the surname Gu. Thinking of Gu Yan, he suddenly had a rather unsettling feeling.

He briefly closed his eyes, pushing away this unfounded idea, and said to Tang Mubei, "Perhaps it’s someone we offended in the past. If it was someone dad crossed during his tenure, after so many years, it’s possible they could come back for revenge. Plenty of time to grow stronger."

"If that’s the case, we’ll inevitably have a tough battle ahead."

Tang Yuxiu rubbed his temples, "No matter how strong they are, I absolutely won’t let them cause any harm to the Tang Family."

"Brother, should I go to the company to help you?"

Tang Yuxiu shook his head, "No need, I can handle these matters. You just need to pay more attention to dad’s condition. We brothers will divide the tasks. I’ll handle the company; you take care of dad."

Hearing this, Tang Mubei didn’t insist. He had confidence in his elder brother’s capabilities.

As they went downstairs, Lu Yiyun and Xue Jiarui came over to check on Old Sir Tang and had a talk with the two brothers.

"My brother said he’s boarding a plane now and is coming back for a visit," Lu Yiyun said.

The others were surprised, "Why the sudden return?"

"He said he’s afraid the two Tang brothers might lose heart, too fragile, so he’s coming back to support," Lu Yiyun blinked her big eyes innocently, speaking with righteous frankness.

The Tang brothers were left speechless, thinking, "Well, that’s very much like Lu Fusheng!"

Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, while Tang Mubei coldly curled his lips.

Lu Yiyun shivered stiffly, thinking, "Lu Fusheng, why couldn’t you keep your mouth shut? Why not fly to heaven instead?"

The two Tang brothers stirred up trouble all at once.

"By the way, Brother Tang, have you found Gu Yan yet?"

At the mention of Gu Yan, Tang Yuxiu’s expression softened a lot, and he nodded, "I found her, but my dad suddenly had an accident, so I rushed back early."

Lu Yiyun widened her eyes and said, "Brother Tang, how could you do that? You had to come back anyway, so why not come back together? After all, now that you two have reconciled, Uncle Tang is also her future father-in-law. If you don’t bring her back as soon as something happens to her father-in-law, won’t she feel like you don’t consider her part of the family?"

Upon hearing Lu Yiyun’s words, Tang Yuxiu suddenly had a revelation, realizing his emotional intelligence was somewhat lacking.

At that moment, he had been anxious to come back and didn’t think so much. What if Gu Yan misunderstood again?

Dumb brain!

Tang Yuxiu had no idea that Gu Yan was already on her way back.

His two subordinates hadn’t reported back to him because they were in a hurry to bring Gu Yan back and had no time to inform him. Besides, Gu Yan had told them not to disturb him at the moment, so they followed her instructions.

Seeing him like this, Lu Yiyun felt worried about his future.

Finally finding a future wife, if he accidentally drives her away again, what a loss!

It’s rare that someone wants him, and the rest of us are just grateful!

"Brother Tang, Second Brother Tang, we’re leaving now. By the way, Brother Tang, solve your own problems well. You’ve finally found a partner that everyone is pleased with, so don’t be so foolish that you make her lose heart."

Tang Yuxiu, "..." Can’t you say something nice right now? I’m in a really bad mood, okay?

Lu Yiyun playfully blinked and left with Xue Jiarui.

Tang Yuxiu sat for a while, then suddenly stood up, glanced at Tang Mubei, and said, "I’m going out for a bit."

"Alright," Tang Mubei nodded, but his eyes seemed to see through everything, with a hint of teasing.

Tang Yuxiu, "..." We’re brothers, can’t you not just watch your brother’s jokes like everyone else?

"Big brother, you can do it."

As Tang Yuxiu walked out of the hospital room, he heard Tang Mubei’s clearly schadenfreude voice.

Can’t we get along happily, can’t you be mindful of heart and mind a bit longer, even in front of our unconscious father!

Tang Yuxiu turned back, gritted his teeth, and said, "Little brother, you have to work hard too, after all, your relationship with Qiu Ye is tenser than ours."

Tang Mubei’s teasing expression froze on his face. If someone else had said that, he would’ve rushed over and punched them.

But the two brothers had gone back and forth so many times, neither gaining any real advantage.

Tang Yuxiu saw Tang Mubei’s expression successfully change and let out a satisfied huff before turning to leave.

Tang Mubei lay back powerlessly on the sofa, feeling vexed as he thought about the things between him and Qiu Ye.

There are so many good things in the world, like lovers eventually becoming a couple, but why is it such a mess for him!

Tang Mubei closed his eyes; his father lay comatose on the bed, and she still avoided him. Nothing was going his way.

And his big brother’s emotional affairs weren’t going smoothly either.

Tang Mubei suddenly wondered if their family had bad feng shui, both brothers like this!

As Tang Mubei’s imagination ran wild, Tang Yuxiu quickly walked to the window at the end of the corridor and took out his phone to call Gu Yan.

But after dialing several times, all he heard was the cold mechanical woman’s voice stating that the call couldn’t go through.

Tang Yuxiu was anxious but had no choice, just letting his mind wander wildly, wondering if, as Lu Yiyun said, Gu Yan was overthinking and upset?

Damn!

Tang Yuxiu punched the wall beside him. He had just managed to find Gu Yan and reconcile with her, can’t she stop messing with him!

He didn’t want to be apart from her anymore; that month was already his limit!

He called his two subordinates, and even they couldn’t be reached!

When someone is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause a toothache; in his rush to find Gu Yan, there was no news from anyone!

Tang Yuxiu clenched his phone, desperately wanting to drive to Mei River to find Gu Yan personally and bring her back.

Unfortunately, there were too many things to handle here, and he couldn’t leave. He could only endure it.

Gu Yan, please don’t overthink!

Please come back, wait for me to handle everything.

At this time, Gu Yan was dozing off in the car.

After rushing for two days straight, she hardly slept, constantly thinking about Tang Yuxiu, worried about whether he’d be exhausted, worried that he couldn’t endure it.

But to let his two subordinates rest well, she didn’t urge them to drive faster along the way, just told them to continue driving.

"Miss Gu, maybe you should rest tonight, we’ll arrive in Jiang City tomorrow."
