As Zhao Wei walked away, Han Lang said indignantly to Tang Haoran.
"Brother Tang, I'm sure of it! The Zhao family is definitely up to something!"
Tang Haoran sighed and nodded.
"I'm certain of that too. However, with our current capabilities, we can't deal with the Zhao family in this situation. So, our hope still lies with the Higher Special Investigation Bureau."
Han Lang shook his head helplessly, "But everything we've argued about today is indeed very vague. If we're talking about evidence, it's not quite sufficient, is it?"
Tang Geng chimed in, "Exactly! From the perspective of the Higher Special Investigation Bureau, our reasons are sound, but after all, Zhao Wei was injured due to our oversight. Moreover, with Wang Shan dead, many things are now without corroborating evidence. Based on this alone, it might be difficult to bring down the Zhao family, right?"
Tang Haoran fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
"Whether we can bring down the Zhao family isn't the key. The crucial issue is that if the Zhao family is truly colluding with superhumans and committing treason, the hidden danger is immense. Therefore, no matter what, we must cooperate wholeheartedly with the Higher Special Investigation Bureau to get to the bottom of this matter!"
Tang Haoran's words were instantly met with everyone's approval. Tang Qin was the first to step forward and say.
"It's about time for the Higher Special Investigation Bureau to tally their achievements. I'll work overtime these few days and submit a detailed report on all superhuman-related incidents in Le City during this period. This will serve to criticize the Zhao family's connection with superhumans and also to secure benefits for our colleagues in the Investigation Bureau!"
"Yes! It's about time." Tang Haoran agreed and then said to Tang Geng, "Tang Geng, we might not be able to celebrate your victory over Wang Shan and Brother Han's achievements simultaneously. As I estimate, Zhao Wei will undoubtedly rush back to Star City without delay to report Wang Shan's matter to his family or even the Higher Special Investigation Bureau. To prevent them from playing the victim, I think you should also return to Star City as soon as possible and report the Le City superhuman incident and our suspicions about the Zhao family to the Tang family management. Only they have the standing to confront the Zhao family in court!"
Tang Geng suddenly understood upon hearing this.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Tang is right! This matter indeed needs to be reported to the family as quickly as possible."
He then turned to Han Lang and said, "Brother Han Lang. I hope you can also be prepared at all times. Once the Higher Special Investigation Bureau establishes an investigation team, I will definitely ask you to testify. Furthermore, your testimony is crucial. So, I'll have to trouble you..."
Han Lang immediately nodded, "No problem! Eliminating evil and upholding justice is my duty!"
Tang Geng chuckled, then reluctantly said to Han Lang, Ma Long, and the other two, "See you again, my three brothers!"
After Tang Geng left, Tang Haoran said to everyone.
"Alright! This matter is settled. Tang Qin and the Special Investigation Bureau will handle things here. Brother Han, shall we head back now?"
"Yes!" Han Lang agreed, "We should indeed go back! With Wang Shan dead, the Wang family is bound to be ruined. Han Kang, you also need to contact Miss Mi Tao and Sister Wang Fang, and at the same time, call the person in charge of the Tang Group to prepare for the takeover of the Wang family's assets!"
Han Kang nodded heavily upon hearing this.
Several days later, at the Han family villa.
Han Lang, Tang Haoran, and Old Master Cao were seated at the main table; Han Kang, Cao Xuerong, and the head of the Tang Group were also seated on the side.
Han Kang reported, "Since Wang Shan had previously annexed the Tian family's assets, it took us quite some time to fully integrate the Wang family's assets this time. However, with Wang Shan's downfall, the vast majority of Le City's industries have fallen into our hands. In this situation, should we continue with the previous joint management, or should we divide them among the three major families for individual management?"
After speaking, Han Kang looked at the three of them to seek their opinions.
Old Master Cao spoke first, "Heh! What major families and such. Since Wang Shan has fallen, and with the relationship between our three families, there's nothing to fight over. I think it's better to continue with joint management!"
Tang Haoran also nodded, "Yes! Old Cao is right! Since only our three families are dominant in Le City, let's not continue the situation of overt and covert struggles among the previous four major families and eight great clans. By uniting, we can go further and achieve greater glory! Haha..."
"But..."
As soon as Tang Haoran finished speaking, the head of the Tang Group sitting next to him raised a doubt.
"The previous joint management of the three major families was led by the Han family, but now that the Wang family is gone, the Han family is unwilling to continue leading!"
Tang Haoran and Old Master Cao looked at Han Lang in surprise.
Han Lang replied sheepishly, "The reason for proposing the alliance back then was for you two brothers to help me fight against the Wang family. Now that the mission is accomplished, from any perspective, it's not appropriate for my Han family to continue leading. Please forgive me!"
Old Master Cao immediately retorted, "Brother Han, what you're saying is a bit wrong! Yes, in terms of age and foundation, my Cao family and the Tang family are indeed deeper than yours. But without you, could our two families have reached this point? Moreover, if it weren't for you, this variable, how could Le City have achieved such harmony as it has now? Therefore, your Han family is capable of leading!"
Tang Haoran also agreed, "Yes! And the operations led by Han Kang during this period have been going quite well, haven't they? All the indicators are soaring. Brother Han, please don't be so modest!"
Hearing their earnest persuasion, Han Lang looked at Han Kang speechlessly for a moment.
Han Kang quickly interjected, "Uncle Tang, you are too kind! Although the Han family has been leading during these days, Brother Tang and Xuerong have provided me with immense help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this level! So, in terms of ability, I think Brother Tang is much stronger than me!"
The head of the Tang Group waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this, "Brother Han Kang, you can't be talking nonsense! During these days, I've basically executed plans according to your requirements. Where have I come up with any ideas? Saying this truly flatters me!"
Han Kang: "Brother Tang, you are too modest..."
...
The two engaged in a round of business flattery, which gave Han Lang a headache. He quickly stopped them.
"Alright, alright! How about this, I have an idea. Since our three families intend to continue the alliance, I still suggest that Brother Tang take the lead."
Tang Haoran was about to decline when Han Lang quickly waved his hand to stop him and continued.
"Brother Tang, please hold your horses. I have sufficient reasons for saying this!"
Tang Haoran then sat down properly and listened attentively.
"Since the Tang family is sent from Star City to oversee Le City, from the perspective of family interests, Le City should be led by your Tang family. If my Han family or the Cao family were to lead, it might cause misunderstandings with the Tang family in Star City. Even if they understand everything with your explanation, it cannot be guaranteed that the Zhao family will not sow discord in the future. Therefore, in terms of name, using your Tang family's banner is the best choice!"
Old Master Cao mulled over these words, then nodded, "Yes, that's how it is! Brother Han's suggestion is indeed very thoughtful. Old man, I think this is feasible!"
Seeing that both of them agreed, Tang Haoran considered it and felt there was some logic to it, finally agreeing.
"Alright, then my Tang family will take on this responsibility! However, since we are taking the advantage in name, we must give up a portion of the benefits! How about giving each of you two percentage points?"
Han Lang and Old Master Cao were slightly taken aback, then looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"In that case, we can only thank the head of the Tang family for his kindness!"
