Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 170 - 171: The Dead Tang Yuxiang!

Qin Long picked up the leg of lamb again, took a bite, and said nonchalantly, "If you don’t have the skills, then don’t act so tough. Wouldn’t it be better to just be a quiet lapdog?"

"Qin Long, you son of a—!" Tang Yuxiang immediately flew into a rage. If Qin Long really made a move, the Tang Family would lose a major deal, and it would be a huge personal loss for him as well. He continued to curse, unwilling to let Qin Long have the last word.

"Five minutes. Then you’ll know whether I can influence this deal or not," Qin Long said, taking out his phone.

Seeing Qin Long’s confidence, Tang Yuxiang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

If this cripple really ruins the Yaolong Group’s major deal, I’ll be the Tang Family’s sinner for the ages! Grandfather will never forgive me! After all, I was the one who deliberately brought this up.

"Qin Long, what do you think you’re doing?" Tang Yuxiang’s eyes widened as he slammed the table.

"Didn’t you say I was all talk? Then I’ll prove it to you!" As Qin Long spoke, he searched for Zhao Ruoying’s contact information.

"You’re insane! Insane!" Tang Yuxiang’s expression turned ugly as he gritted his teeth in fury.

The surrounding Tang family members were dumbfounded.

Could this fool really pull it off? All this time, they thought Wang Ming was the one secretly helping the Tang Family secure the Yaolong Group’s deal. But seeing Qin Long’s dead-serious expression, if he really sabotaged the partnership, wouldn’t they be finished? What if Qin Long and Zhao Ruoying are actually friends? Wouldn’t that mean Tang Yuxiang has doomed the entire Tang Family?

Old Master Tang frowned slightly. Trying to placate the situation, he said, "Qin Long, don’t stoop to Yuxiang’s level. Just continue eating your roasted leg of lamb."

Hearing the old master speak, the others felt a weight lift from their shoulders.

But Qin Long wasn’t having any of it. "No. I was in a great mood for lamb, but that’s completely gone now. I might as well make the call. That way, no one will think I’m just a boastful show-off in the future. I don’t have the time to explain these things."

Without another word, Qin Long dialed Zhao Ruoying’s number for a video call and put it on speaker.

In that instant, everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats. Qin Long, in contrast, was perfectly calm, his expression unruffled, as if everything was proceeding exactly as planned.

The ringing of the video call echoed through the hall. At that moment, everyone’s heart trembled.

CLICK.

The face of an elegant, middle-aged woman appeared on the screen.

"Is that Young Master Qin?" Zhao Ruoying’s enthusiastic voice came through.

BOOM.

The minds of every Tang family member went blank, their jaws practically hitting the floor.

"Xuewu..." Old Master Tang looked pleadingly at Tang Xuewu.

Now, everyone understood: Qin Long and Zhao Ruoying were friends. If Qin Long really sabotaged the Yaolong Group’s major deal, it would be too late for regrets. They couldn’t let that happen.

Tang Xuewu immediately grasped the situation and looked anxiously at Qin Long.

"Young Master Qin? Why can’t I see you?" Zhao Ruoying’s eager voice came through again.

Qin Long cast a cold glance at everyone around him and then slowly picked up the phone. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands snatched the phone away. Qin Long reacted instantly, his hand closing around a soft, fair wrist, making Tang Xuewu blush.

"Let me talk to Mrs. Zhao for a moment, please?" Tang Xuewu asked, her beautiful eyes fixed gently on Qin Long.

"Oh," Qin Long replied, withdrawing his hand.

Tang Xuewu turned to the camera with a faint smile. Thinking fast, her beautiful eyes darted for a moment before she said, "Mrs. Zhao, I’ve just finished thinking over your contract proposal and wanted to report back to you."

"Oh, that’s wonderful!" Zhao Ruoying said warmly. "You didn’t have to call personally; a message would have been fine. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, just have Young Master Qin tell me directly."

"Not at all! We’re very satisfied. You’re too kind, Mrs. Zhao," Tang Xuewu replied with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, that’s good to hear. If any problems come up, just contact me. My personal number is..."

After that, Zhao Ruoying ended the call.

Seeing Tang Xuewu resolve the crisis so perfectly, Old Master Tang finally felt the weight lift from his heart. The other Tang family members also wiped the cold sweat from their brows, their gazes toward Qin Long now filled with confusion.

"Alright, let the banquet begin," Old Master Tang announced, signaling for everyone to start eating.

Still trying to save face, Tang Yuxiang sneered at Qin Long. "So what if you have Mrs. Zhao’s contact info? I have the District Chief’s personal number! What’s there to show off?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Long’s expression gradually became solemn.

"Tang Yuxiang, are you courting death?" Qin Long snapped.

"Qin Long, you son of a—!" Tang Yuxiang slammed the table again, his face twisted in a ferocious glare.

"Both of you, shut up!" Old Master Tang’s angry roar cut through the tension. Tang Yuxiang gritted his teeth and forced down his rage as he sat back down.

However, he was seething with resentment, wishing he could kill Qin Long on the spot.

Before, Grandfather would have definitely sided with me. Especially when I clashed with Qin Long, he always defended me. But today, he actually reprimanded me! It’s unheard of! This made Tang Yuxiang’s gut churn with resentment. He didn’t dare blame his grandfather, so he directed all of his hatred toward Qin Long.

"Grandfather, you can’t blame Yuxiang!" Tang Chuchu declared, pointing an arrogant finger at Qin Long as she addressed the old master. "So what if he could have made Mrs. Zhao cancel the deal? What right did he have to even threaten it? Everyone in the Tang family knows Young Master Wang was the one who secured that deal for us! Not only did Qin Long not help, he tried to kick us while we’re down! How can someone be so heartless and ungrateful?"

The people around promptly agreed with Tang Chuchu’s words.

Even Tang Xuewu had to admit there was some truth to it. After all, Wang Ming really had sacrificed the development rights for Plot Nine to get them the Yaolong Group deal. She had always felt guilty about it. It was one thing for Qin Long not to help, but why did he have to try and sabotage their partnership?

"Utterly foolish." Qin Long chuckled, his laugh turning into a cold sneer.

If they were incapable of understanding, why bother speaking? The only person he ever cared about was Tang Xuewu. The survival of the Tang Family had nothing to do with him. Besides, he had already explained everything clearly. What was the point if they refused to believe him?

Seeing Qin Long remain silent, Tang Chuchu became even more aggressive. "He’s a cripple who has done nothing but freeload off our family for years!" she continued, her arms crossed as she looked down on Qin Long with disdain. "He has zero value, yet he dares to threaten our family’s business deals? How shameless!

"If he had even a shred of use, maybe we wouldn’t be so disappointed. Since he got his memory back, what has he done besides cause trouble?"

She was painting him as an ungrateful good-for-nothing who bit the hand that fed him.

"He claimed he could cancel the Yaolong Group deal with one phone call? You’re not worthy! Does he really think he’s some big shot like Young Master Wang?"
