Chapter Fifty-six Difficult Choice

  That evening, Tang Feng said goodbye to Guan Zhiyong and others, then drove to Sun's mansion.

  At the same time he set out, in a small building in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, two spirited old men were playing chess. Upon closer inspection, one of them was General Zhang.

  "What a great move, Double Cannons are imminent. Old Zhang, the young people you've chosen are not simple at all, in just a few days they've accomplished so much, it seems completing our mission is not impossible after all." one of them said.

  "Again, I see you can still run?" With a fierce push of the chess piece in his hand, General Zhang continued: "It's not simple, they are all elites among elites, with excellent martial skills and top-notch brains. You also know about the 'Seven Taboos of the Black Way', right? Tsk tsk, what a great young man! Now I feel that letting them walk this path of no return might be a bit of a waste?"

  The old man who spoke earlier flashed a cold glint in his eyes and said lightly, "If they weren't the elite among elites, do you think they could have achieved such results so quickly? Stop complaining, the country has nurtured them for many years, it's time for them to contribute back to the country. As long as they do well, they can also live a carefree and comfortable life."

  Nodding his head, General Zhang furrowed his brow and said, "Northwest Sun seems to be quite interested in them. This old man is not simple."

  "I know this old man is not simple, but for now, he doesn't seem to pose a threat to the country. With his support, those few young men under your command can develop their power more quickly. If this old man still doesn't behave himself, then we don't need to be polite with him either." The old man thought for a moment and continued: "You can give them a slight hint below, just make them think that these few young men have someone backing them up, after all, it's for the sake of national affairs. We should still provide the necessary convenience, but remember, it must be in the name of an individual."

  General Zhang nodded and stopped talking, and the two continued playing chess.

  Returning to the Sun Mansion, Tang Feng didn't have that shocking feeling like the first time, but he was still excited. The gatekeeper seemed to have received instructions beforehand and let him in without any obstruction when he saw Tang Feng's car arrive.

  Ten minutes later, Tang Feng parked his car and smiled at the three dragons playing with the pearl fountain before walking in.

  "Little brother is indeed punctual, haha, come on, follow me up, Old Master Sun is waiting for you in the study." Liu Bo hurriedly walked forward to greet Tang Feng as he entered.

  "Old Master Sun asked me to come, I naturally didn't dare not to come, but I don't know what Old Master Sun wants to see me for?" Tang Feng wanted to get some information out of Liu Bo, so he could prepare himself.

  Liu Boha burst out laughing and said, "Haha, little brother, don't worry, Old Man Sun coming to find you this time is a good thing." After finishing his laughter, he continued, "Little brother, I asked you to help me with something, what I want you to do is hope that you can agree to Old Man Sun's request later. Agreeing will be good for everyone, if not...I can only say so much, little brother, come with me."

  Tang Feng followed Liu Bo to the study of Old Master Sun, but he didn't have any mind to appreciate the decoration of this mansion. He was secretly thinking about what requirements Old Master Sun had for him. Although Liu Bo didn't say it, Tang Feng still heard it out. If he didn't agree with Old Master Sun's requirements, there was a great possibility that he wouldn't make it through tonight. Death, Tang Feng wasn't afraid of, but he feared his own death would be meaningless.

  "Old master, Death God has arrived." Came to the study door. Liu Bo knocked on the door and said.

  "Come on in." A loud and powerful voice came from inside, belonging to Old Man Sun.

  After entering, Tang Feng nodded at Old Man Sun with a faint smile on his face and said, "Hello, Old Man Sun."

  Old Master Sun looked at Tang Feng with satisfaction, nodded his head and pointed to the sofa opposite him: "Sit down." After Tang Feng sat down, Old Master Sun said again: "Recently, Huaxing Society has been making waves, in just a few dozen days, it has sorted out XA's underworld, leaving only one rule, indeed living up to my expectations."

  Tang Feng smiled and said, "Old master, you're overpraising us. Our small achievements can't be compared to your grand accomplishments in the northwest back then." He had been worried earlier, but now he didn't have any burden on his mind. He knew that only by throwing away all burdens and not thinking about the consequences could he calm down completely and fight for every bit of hope for himself.

  The old man Sun was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "Good, good kid, you have ambition, comparing yourself to me so quickly?" Tang Feng's words were naturally understood by the old man, who not only didn't get angry but looked very pleased. Seeing that Tang Feng didn't seem to want to explain himself, Old Man Sun nodded and said: "Not bad, young people having ambition is good, but you also need to have equal strength. I was able to dominate the northwest back in the day because it was a time of turmoil, but you're different. Nowadays the country is already stable, there aren't as many opportunities to be seized. If you want to make a name for yourself in this great northwest, you still have a long way to go, unless someone helps you out, do you understand?"

  Tang Feng's heart skipped a beat, what did this old man mean? Was he trying to take control of the Huaxing Society for his own use? Pretending not to understand, he furrowed his brow and said: "Old sir, your words are not empty, the Huaxing Society is indeed far inferior now, and cannot be compared with some well-established old-brand gangs that have been famous for many years. But the Huaxing Society has its advantages - it's young, vibrant, and full of momentum. As for what you said about unless someone helps, I really don't understand what you mean."

  Son Lao Ye Zi has been mixed for so many years, what kind of person hasn't he seen? Who can't understand Tang Feng's little tricks? He waved his hand and said directly: "Alright, I'll make it clear to you, old man. I want to take you in as my adopted grandson. Although I've already washed my hands with gold, this northwest border still has some say, and it's beneficial for your Hua Xing Society."

  Tang Feng was taken aback, he had never thought that Old Man Sun would make such a request. Why did he want to take him as his grandson? He didn't have anything worth coveting, on the contrary, it was Old Man Sun's family that was wealthy and influential. Tang Feng was truly perplexed, furrowing his brow, he asked: "The more I listen, the more confused I become, I don't know why you want to take me as your grandson, doesn't this seem like it wouldn't bring you any benefits?"

  "Ah, I've experienced everything in my life and have everything, but the only regret is that there's no one to inherit. Perhaps you don't know, I had a son, but he left me with a grandson and granddaughter before leaving this world. A few years ago, my family's only male heir, my beloved grandson, also met with an accident. Now, in the entire Sun family, there are only two people with the surname Sun: me and my granddaughter. Rui'er is a girl and isn't interested in these businesses; she's been studying abroad all along. Moreover, I don't hope for her to take this path either. So, I need someone to inherit the Sun family."

  Tang Feng was stunned, he really didn't know whether to say he was lucky or curse his bad luck. This kind of thing is undoubtedly a pie that has fallen from the sky, but when the pie is about to fall, you realize it's too big and if you're not careful, you'll be crushed!

  "Why did you choose me? Didn't you already retire from the jianghu? Why do you still want to find a successor for the Sun family?" Tang Feng asked somewhat dejectedly, but he had already begun to sympathize with Old Man Sun. The grand estate was devoid of any relatives, and in this world, he only had one close kin; he was truly pitiful.

  "Hmph, quit? Do you think it's that easy to leave the Jianghu just because I said so? Honestly, once you enter the Jianghu, you're a Jianghu person for life. You can only wash away the surface. I haven't asked about Dao affairs in years, but my brothers on the Dao give me face and inform me of everything. Now, the Sun family is half white and half black. As for why I chose you, just think I like your looks.

  Sun Lao Ye looked at him with some impatience: "Speak up, are you willing? If you are, you can get the help of the three generations of the Sun family. With me around, unifying the entire northwest isn't impossible. I don't ask you to do anything, just treat Rui'er well after I die and let her live happily for the rest of her life. This girl is too pitiful."

  Tang Feng really didn't know what to do. He knew that if he didn't agree, it was possible that someone would evaporate at any time, but if he agreed, he would be unwilling in his heart. He liked the kind of pleasure that came from conquering others through his own efforts. It was clear that once he agreed, with Sun Lao's help, unifying the northwest would not be a problem, and he would lose this pleasure. After thinking about it, Tang Feng gritted his teeth and looked straight at Sun Lao, opening his mouth to speak.
