"Mom, I've been trying to contact him since five this morning, but Wang Yonglei's phone is completely unreachable!"
Tang Shimin explained to her mother.
"Shimin, there's only one way to deal with this situation now, and that's to contact Haitong Group and have them release the investment funds. We can use that money to help the Tang family get through this difficult time, and then we'll figure out what to do next!"
"Otherwise, the Tang family is truly finished!"
Tang Yuan, having recovered some of his composure, immediately thought of using the investment funds to pay off their debts.
"Grandpa, that's the investment fund from our cooperation with Haitong Group. If Haitong Group finds out we've transferred these funds, we'll be ruined even faster!"
Tang Shimin looked at Tang Yuan, tears streaming down her face.
"What are you afraid of? Since it's an investment, the money is meant for us to use. Even if we breach the contract, we can just give them the new project. But if we can't repay the money, our Tang family will be completely ruined!"
"Of the one hundred and ten million, besides the family's money, most of it was borrowed at high interest. No one can repay it!"
Tang Zixuan immediately said disdainfully to Tang Shimin.
"That's right. If we can't repay this money, those loan sharks will break our legs! You confidently told us that Wang Yonglei would make us rich, which is why we borrowed at high interest. Now that he's run off, you must take responsibility!"
"Exactly. Sell all the land immediately, or go ask Haitong Group for the money. It's one or the other, or we Tang family will kick the three of you out right now!"
"Yeah, if you can't get the money back, don't even think about entering the Tang family's door!"
"..."
All the members of the Tang family once again yelled at Tang Shimin in anger.
"I..."
Tang Shimin, with tears in her eyes, was at a loss for what to do.
"I have a way!"
Just as Tang Shimin was at her wits' end, a clear voice echoed from outside, and then Lu Yang walked in.
"You useless good-for-nothing, why are you here? To laugh at our Tang family's misfortune?"
"Even if our Tang family is in decline, it's not for a live-in son-in-law like you to mock us. Get out immediately!"
"Yeah, get out! A piece of trash like you is not qualified to even enter our Tang family's door!"
"..."
Seeing Lu Yang walk in, everyone immediately turned their hostility towards him.
"Shimin, stop crying. I have a way to sell all the land you have."
Lu Yang ignored the others and walked directly to Tang Shimin, smiling as he spoke.
"Are you deliberately here to laugh at me?"
"Leave, I don't want to see you!"
Tang Shimin knew that Lu Yang had strongly opposed her when she wanted to buy the land. However, blinded by greed, she only wanted to make money and didn't take Lu Yang's words to heart. She never expected Lu Yang to be right, and that Wang Yonglei was indeed a scammer who had defrauded their Tang family of a hundred and ten million.
All she could think was that Lu Yang was here to gloat, and his claim of having a way to sell the land was just mockery.
"Shimin, what I said is true. I really have a way!"
Lu Yang continued, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Lu Yang, what method do you have?"
Tang Yuan looked at Lu Yang and asked coldly.
"I know an investment company that is interested in the land at Qinglong Bay and wants to buy it. If the Tang family is willing, they can sell some of the land to them."
Lu Yang said to Tang Yuan.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"If there's a single lie, I'll kick you out of the Tang family immediately!"
Tang Yuan stared at Lu Yang and roared.
"Old Master, I can guarantee this matter for you, but I have one condition: if this works out, you cannot kick me out of the Tang family anymore!"
Lu Yang continued.
"Alright, as long as the land the Tang family has can be sold, I will acknowledge your status as the Tang family's son-in-law!"
Tang Yuan said, his word being his bond.
"Then fine, you all wait. I'll make a call!"
After speaking, Lu Yang took out his phone and dialed a number.
This was the number of the general manager of Heilong Capital that Lin Guoxiong had given him that morning. Lu Yang didn't even know the general manager's name.
The call rang three times before it was answered, and then a gentle female voice immediately came through.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, I'm Lu Yang!"
"Didn't you say yesterday that you were interested in the land at Qinglong Bay and wanted to buy some? I have a few hundred mu here. Do you want it?"
Lu Yang said into the phone.
"Lu Yang? Which Lu Yang?"
"Are you crazy!"
The woman said, and then hung up the phone.
"Beep beep beep..."
Soon, Lu Yang's phone displayed a busy signal.
"Damn it, what the hell?"
"Didn't Lin Guoxiong tell them my identity?"
Lu Yang's face darkened. He hadn't expected the general manager of Heilong Capital to be so arrogant, daring to hang up his call and call him crazy.
Li Xiumei, who was closest to Lu Yang, heard the voice on the phone and immediately swiped at Lu Yang's head, but he dodged it instinctively.
"You useless piece of trash, I knew it. You only know how to put on a show and boast!"
"To get Shimin, you'll do anything, and you're still here bragging about knowing people who can buy our land. Turns out they think you're an idiot and called you crazy. I think you are the crazy one!"
Li Xiumei yelled at Lu Yang.
"Maybe... she didn't recognize my voice just now!"
"I'll make another call!"
As Lu Yang took out his phone, preparing to dial again, it was snatched away by Li Xiumei, smashed to the ground, and shattered into pieces.
"Useless trash, that's enough! You're just here to laugh at us and add insult to injury. Now you've seen the joke and put on your show. Get out immediately! Even if our Shimin has to beg for food on the streets, she will never be with you. Just give up on that idea!"
Li Xiumei shouted again.
Hearing Li Xiumei's words, the rest of the Tang family immediately started yelling at Lu Yang.
"I knew long ago this good-for-nothing wouldn't be able to do anything, only boast and brag!"
"Trash is trash, useless scum that can't be helped. Get out quickly!"
"The Tang family, as great as it is, can't solve this problem, and you, a useless person, say you can solve it? This is a joke! Get out!"
"Get out!"
"..."
"Lu Yang, what do you want? Do you want me to be even more humiliated? Now the money is gone, and my reputation is ruined. Are you satisfied?"
Tang Shimin, her face covered in tears, yelled at Lu Yang.
