Break out of the courtyard

Magnesium country, Newtown Airport.

"I heard that my second uncle was admitted to the intensive care unit again?" Tang Lie asked casually after picking up his third brother Tang Qiang at the airport exit.

"He brought this upon himself. He just recovered a little bit and he's already asking to be discharged." Tang Qiang snorted coldly, "Grandpa asked uncle to go to the hospital to check his pulse and confirm whether he can be discharged."

"As a result, he falsely accused my uncle of imprisoning him in the hospital in front of all the doctors in order to seize his Hutchison shares!"

"After his uncle left due to his anger, he fulfilled his wish and the hospital issued him discharge documents."

Tang Lie had heard his wife gossip about this cause before, but he did not interrupt Tang Qiang's complaints, but just gestured for Tang Qiang to get in his car.

Tang Qiang sneered, "His family background is so small that even we can't even look down on him, let alone his uncle!"

"When he returned to Xindao, he found that the Hutchison Group had changed hands, and the board of directors was full of people from the Bao family and the Li family. His sons didn't even get a seat on the board of directors."

Tang Lie, who was driving, glanced at his third brother in the rearview mirror and asked in confusion, "Doesn't their family own 34% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares? How did they lose their seat on the board of directors?"

Hearing this question, Tang Qiang smiled with gloating, "It's all Tang Xiang, Tang Kun and those guys' fault!"

"In order to fight for that little bit of family property, they actually agreed to the proposal of the Bao and Li families to increase capital and expand shares, and took the initiative to reduce their own share of Hutchison Whampoa to 4%!"

Tang Lie braked suddenly, turned to look at Tang Qiang, and asked in disbelief, "How much?"

"You heard it right. Their family now only owns 4% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares!" Tang Qiang shrugged and continued, "After my second uncle returned to Xindao and found out about this, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot."

"It's a pity that Tang Xiang, Tang Kun and the others have disappeared. Otherwise, I would like to go to Xindao and ask them in person how much money they received to do such a stupid thing as selling their family property at a low price!"

Tang Lie was silent for a moment, then said in a muffled voice: "Given the relationship between the Bao family and my uncle, they should have received a lot of money!"

"Huh?" Tang Qiang was stunned for a moment and his brows gradually frowned.

Tang Lie sighed, "With my uncle's temper, if anyone else treated him like my second uncle's family, they would have been silenced by my uncle long ago!"

“When Hailukong first started acquiring foreign ports, although it expressed its intention to acquire Hutchison Whampoa’s port business, it ultimately did not acquire it…”

Tang Qiang defended himself: "That's because my second uncle's family didn't want to sell it!"

Tang Lie, who was interrupted, said calmly: "With the wealth and technology that my uncle has now, as long as he shows his intention to acquire the company, no matter if it is for money or for the longevity potion that can delay aging, someone will help him achieve his goal!"

Tang Qiang frowned and said, "According to you, it was Uncle who arranged for the Bao and Li families to seize the port business of the Hutchison Group?"

"No!" Tang Lie looked at the intersection ahead and said calmly, "My uncle just showed an intention to acquire the company. Although what happened afterwards was not arranged by him, it was all part of his plan."

Tang Qiang opened the car window and looked at the street scene in silence for a while before turning back and saying, "Whether your guess is true or not, at least my uncle didn't take any direct action against my second uncle's family. It's all their own fault!"

Tang Lie responded lightly and did not discuss the topic any further.

The two brothers were silent for a while, and only started talking about Japanese stocks after they returned home and saw their parents.

Seeing Tang Qiang talking so happily, as if he had made a lot of money, and Tang Qiang's biological mother, the second concubine, looking very proud, the sixth concubine said indignantly, "Ah Qiang, I heard from Mrs. He and Mrs. Guo that they followed your uncle to buy Japanese Toyota and Honda stocks, and their returns doubled. Why didn't you follow suit?"

"That's right, I'm a little confused too!" The fifth concubine echoed in confusion, "If you guys follow suit and buy Japanese auto stocks, you won't make 8 million dollars. You'll have to double it to make at least 80 billion dollars!"

Tang Qiang was a little speechless, because when his stepmother's investment company just bought Toyota, Honda and Nissan stocks, he was the first to receive the news!

As a result, not only did he not follow the buying, he waited until early October, when he saw that the Japanese stock market really began to rebound, and then he used his previous quick-in-quick-out strategy to jump in.

Then in less than a month, he earned 8 million magnesium yuan!
You know, he only made a total of 1 million US dollars by shorting Japanese stocks from January to September this year!
Comparing the two, it is naturally the most enjoyable to make money this month.

However, if Tang Qiang followed his stepmother's lead in investing in Japanese automakers in September, and looked at the results now...

Tang Qiang thought about the billions of dollars he had lost because he did not follow the trend and buy Japanese car company stocks. His previous happy expression immediately turned dark.

"Okay, if you don't understand stocks, don't butt in!" Tang Ren frowned and said, "If the third brother goes to buy those car stocks, he won't be able to find ways to make money from Heping in the future."

Isn’t that right?
That was based on Tang Qiang's quick-in-quick-out strategy of buying Japanese auto company stocks and then quickly selling them after the prices rose.

If Tang Qiang dared to do this, Zhang Heping might go to their company and beat him up!
The reason why people say that Tang Ren is wrong is that Tang Qiang could be like those rich ladies in Hong Kong Island and buy stocks of Japanese car companies and then leave them there without doing anything else.

As of now, the share prices of Toyota, Honda and Nissan have all risen by more than 9% compared to early September.

If Tang Qiang bought all the stocks for long-term investment, the profit would be at least tens of billions of magnesium yuan!
Unfortunately, there is no if. After the stock prices of Japanese automakers fell in the morning and rose in the afternoon, although the stock prices were still rising, Tang Qiang learned from Zhang Heping that Stepmother Investment had already begun to sell off the stocks of those Japanese automakers!

Tang Ren didn't want the women in his family to get involved in stock trading, so he changed the subject and asked, "What is your uncle busy with recently?"

"Dad, you didn't know about such big news yesterday?" Tang Qiang said with a little surprise: "My uncle's aerospace company launched an experimental module into space orbit yesterday morning. He will use the space laboratory module to develop a new generation of life-extending medicine."

"Is there such news?" Tang Ren looked at his eldest son Tang Lie in confusion.

Tang Lie frowned and shook his head, "The media in the United States did not report that the World Internet Forum was restricted by the government of the United States. We have not received this news yet."

"Haha, that's hilarious!" Tang Qiang said disdainfully, "When my uncle restricted the Magnesium people from accessing the World Internet Forum, the Magnesium people kept clamoring for the Peace Group to lift the restrictions."

"Now that they have been given access, they have set restrictions themselves and prevent people from Magnesium from accessing it."

Tang Lie explained from the perspective of the Magnesium people: "My uncle's World Internet Forum does not restrict speech. Recently, many people have posted anonymously, instigating the Magnesium troops stationed in the Middle East to use missiles to test the Eye of God defense system sold by the mainland to the Middle East!"

Tang Qiang looked at his elder brother in confusion, "Is this a restriction?"

Tang Ren interrupted, "Not only that, it's also related to the longevity potion experiment that the Magnesium Lao recently reversed. Someone exposed the Magnesium Lao on the World Internet Forum that they used prisoners for experiments."

"The Magnesium government cannot block posts on the world's Internet forums, so it can only restrict Magnesium citizens' access to them to reduce domestic public pressure."

"I see!" Tang Qiang chuckled, "My uncle has launched the laboratory into space. I wonder if those guys from the Magnesium Kingdom will be anxious after seeing this news!"

Tang Ren didn't know whether those guys from the magnesium country were anxious or not. He was anxious to know when Zhang Heping's longevity potion would be developed. Unfortunately, his third son Tang Qiang didn't know either.

~
Shenzhen Peace Vocational Training College, the top floor of the Biological Genetic Laboratory Building. After many communications between Mr. Hua and Director Wang, Zhang Heping finally agreed to place the remote control center of the space laboratory on the top floor of this laboratory building.

For this purpose, two large dishes were installed on the roof to receive and transmit satellite signals.

Because of the existence of this control center, the biological and genetic experts who received the information about the 100-year life potion have not been in the mood to conduct experiments in recent days to verify whether the information given by Zhang Heping is correct.

Like a dozen engineers from the Peace Aerospace Company, they are now guarding outside the bulletproof glass partition of the control center, watching Zhang Heping and six assistants in the remote control center, wanting to get first-hand information on the remote space experiment.

Driven by such a fanatical desire for knowledge, Tang Ming, who had come to Shenzhen to ask Zhang Heping for help in treating Tang Lao Er, was a little embarrassed to speak.

Tang Yi was so angry at his rebellious sons that he vomited blood. Then he was admitted to the hospital in Xindao due to a fungal infection. Tang Xin actually told Zhang Heping about it.

But Zhang Heping ignored it and went to Shenzhen the next day, and then started the long-distance space experiment.

"Grandpa, you can see that my dad is busy with experiments and can't get away." Zhang Long, who took Tang Ming into the laboratory building, pointed to the experts and professors who were whispering to each other and said:

"After they finish their experiments, these experts will ask many questions."

"Besides, Xindao is on good terms with the Magnesium people. If my dad went to Xindao with you, he would be in Xindao prison the moment he got off the plane!"

Tang Ming frowned and retorted: "It's not that serious. Xindao has already established diplomatic relations with the mainland. They won't risk offending..."

"You're not the chief steward of Xindao, how can you guarantee that it won't happen?" Zhang Long said in a somewhat impolite tone, "What's more, Tang Yi was just discharged from Heping Hospital. It hasn't been long since he was admitted to the intensive care unit of Xindao Hospital. Can the disease develop so quickly?"

"Besides, you must know what Tang Yi's family did to our family before."

"What if Tang Yi pretended to be sick and deliberately tricked my dad into going to Xindao..." Zhang Long paused, and under the gazes of the people around him, he suppressed his words and said, "Think about the consequences yourself!"

When Tang Ming heard the word "Tang Yi" coming out of Zhang Long's mouth, he knew that Zhang Heping had already expressed his dissatisfaction with Tang Yi in their family, and it had also affected his children.

Tang Ming hesitated for just a few seconds before walking to the glass partition wall in front and asking the person next to him how to communicate with the people in the laboratory.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Heping's voice suddenly came from the speaker on the glass wall.

There was no title, but Tang Ming knew that it was a question to him.

Then, Tang Ming looked at Zhang Heping's back in the control center and said, "Heping, your second uncle is seriously ill and is in the hospital. I would like to ask you to go to Xindao to help him diagnose him."

"Humph!" Zhang Heping stared at the display screen in front of him and sneered without turning his head. "He has been in the intensive care unit for so many days, how come he is still in critical condition? When did the medical technology of Xindao Hospital become so good?"

When Tang Ming heard these words, his body suddenly shook, as if a thunder exploded in his mind. He felt a buzzing in his ears and thought of many possibilities at once.

With the support of Zhang Long, Tang Ming came back to his senses when he was about to reach Villa No. 1.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jiefeng and Tang Xin came over and asked Tang Ming what happened.
Zhang Long briefly explained what had just happened on the top floor of the experimental building.

Finally, Zhang Long said to Tang Ming who was sitting on the sofa: "Grandpa, if you really think Tang Yi is seriously ill, you can ask a few doctors in Hong Kong Island to go to Xindao to see him and diagnose him."

"Of course, I believe my father has already thought of this possibility and has probably sent someone to investigate."

"After this incident, our Zhang family will no longer have any contact with Tang Yi's family..."

"Xiaolong, shut up!" Tang Xin frowned and looked at his fifth son Zhang Long.

However, Zhang Long did not do as she wished. "Mom, there are some things that cannot be explained clearly. I am worried that grandpa will regard us as enemies. You'd better listen patiently."

"Tang Yi pretended to be seriously ill and was hospitalized this time. He definitely had bad intentions. There must be someone from China behind this!"

"If my dad went to Xindao and met with any misfortune, my brothers and sisters would definitely offer a huge reward to bury Tang Yi's family with him!"

"That's enough!" Tang Xin stood up and glared at his fifth son, "Go do your thing, don't be so disrespectful here!"

Zhang Long turned and walked out, but he didn't stop talking, "Even if my father returns safely, Tang Yi will not have a good ending. At most, for my mother's sake, I will spare those people in Tang Hai who were not involved in this matter."

After Zhang Long left, only the old couple Tang Ming and their fourth daughter Tang Xin were left in the hall of Zhang family's Villa No. 1.

Just when the two women didn't know what to say, Tang Ming picked up the phone and called his grandson Tang Hai who was far away in Xindao.

"Ahai, did you know that your father is in the intensive care unit of Niijima National University Hospital?"

"Yes? When did it happen?"

Just a simple question and answer, Tang Ming's heart sank to the bottom.

As far as he knew, after the second son Tang Yi returned to Xindao, he was looking for those unfilial sons, trying to sort out a lot of mess in the family.

If Tang Yi was really seriously ill and hospitalized, how could his concubines not notify his second son Tang Hai, the only one who could be contacted!
Combined with the harsh words Zhang Long just said, if Tang Yi really wanted to harm Zhang Heping, and Tang Hai knew about it, he would be an accomplice.

Once Zhang Heping escapes, Tang Yi will definitely suffer Zhang Heping's ruthless revenge, and Tang Hai will definitely not be able to escape.

However, if Tang Hai didn't know about this, Zhang Heping might really let Tang Hai go for Tang Xin's sake.

Thinking about how ruthless Zhang Heping was when he was young, and the tens of thousands of bodyguards and security guards under the Umbrella Corporation, Tang Ming felt extremely depressed.

Tang Hai didn't hear the rest of the conversation on the other end of the phone, so he couldn't help but comfort him, "Grandpa, I'll call Jin to go to the hospital and ask."

A Jin is Tang Hai’s eldest son, 25 years old this year, and a more down-to-earth younger generation.

Tang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Don't go yet. Wait until I come over, and then we can go together!"

After Tang Ming hung up the phone, his wife Xu Jiefeng asked in confusion: "Just let Ah Hai and the others go and ask about this matter, why are you going there?"

Tang Ming frowned and said, "Whether the second son is seriously ill or not, everyone else can tell, but Ah Hai's family can't tell."
