Chapter 60 Goodbye, Patriarch of the Tang Family!
Although the building is not high, the space inside is not small. In addition to the hall, each floor has more than a dozen rooms.
Duan Ming looked around and whispered to Bai Xianglu: "You search the rooms on the first floor, and I will go to the second floor to see if there are any clues about Tang Yaqing."
In this way, the two of them acted separately.
When they came to the second floor, there were obviously fewer guests than on the first floor.
Duan Ming took advantage of others not paying attention and came to the door of a room. He put his hand on the door handle and twisted it gently.
"Click!"
There was a sound of the door opening. Just as Duan Ming was about to look inside through the crack of the door, someone patted him on the shoulder behind him!
Duan Ming's body trembled, and he turned his head suddenly. When he saw this person, he really wanted to speak out.
"Boss, I know what happened to the Tang family!"
It was Jiang Yao who scared Duan Ming.
"Boss, do you still remember the superpower who appeared when we fought the Yu family?"
Duan Ming was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Remember, what happened?"
"At that time, the Yu family paid 60 million star coins, and we used rare metals as the price to get him to not help us. Didn't you say that half of those rare metals were placed in the Tang family?"
Hearing Jiang Yao's words, Duan Ming felt something vaguely.
"The superpower later went to the Tang family in person, but the batch of rare metals had already been used up by the Tang family, so the Tang family had to use other metals as compensation, and the superpower raised the price and blackmailed the Tang family a lot of money, which also caused problems with the Tang family's capital chain, so they had to accept the marriage request from the Trying Family."
The superpower, named Yu Guo, was able to devour all energy bodies, and was indeed not something the Tang family could contend with.
Speaking of which, Duan Ming did give the Tang family a batch of rare metals, but the Tang family paid for those metals. Duan Ming was in a hurry at the time, so he took this desperate measure, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a big trouble for the Tang family and Tang Yaqing.
It turned out that the instigator of this matter was himself!
"Do you have a way to find Tang Yaqing's whereabouts?"
Jiang Yao shook his head and said, "There are hundreds of rooms here, and some rooms are guarded. It's not realistic to search one by one."
Duan Ming clenched his fists. Is he going to wait until the wedding officially starts?
"By the way, boss, I saw the head of the Tang family just now."
Hearing what Jiang Yao said, Duan Ming hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"
Jiang Yao raised his hand and pointed upstairs.
"It's on the third floor. Many heads of big families are upstairs."
An idea came to Duan Ming's mind.
Take the risk to contact the head of the Tang family? But the risk was too great. Not to mention whether the head of the Tang family could recognize him, even if he did, he would expose his identity in public since he had caused such a big trouble for the Tang family.
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Duan Ming made a decision and walked towards the stairs, with Jiang Yao following closely behind him.
When he arrived at the third floor, Duan Ming saw a dozen people in the center of the hall from a distance. The youngest among them was over 60 years old, and they must be the heads of various families.
The one standing in the middle should be the head of the Cheng family, and the head of the Tang family was standing next to him, and on the other side was Dugu Er.
After taking a deep breath, Duan Ming walked towards the dozen big guys.
"Head of the Tang family, long time no see!"
Duan Ming did not choose to test, but went straight to the "topic" as soon as he opened his mouth!
The heads of the families looked at Duan Ming and the others, obviously very curious about Duan Ming's identity.
"Since we last met three months ago, how is Patriarch Tang doing? I have recently acquired a lot of rare metals. I wonder if Patriarch Tang is interested?"
If it is just from his accent, it is indeed difficult to identify Duan Ming's identity, but Duan Ming's words made Patriarch Tang startled.
"It is you? You dare to..."
This sentence was said by Tang Chen, who was beside Patriarch Tang. He recognized Duan Ming, so how could Patriarch Tang not recognize him?
"Tang Chen! I'm thirsty, go get me a glass of wine."
Tang Chen was interrupted by Patriarch Tang before he could finish his next words.
Tang Chen was stunned and turned to look at his father: "Dad, this kid is Duan..."
"I said I'm thirsty! Go get me a glass of wine!"
After being interrupted again, Tang Chen looked at Duan Ming with a resentful look and turned to walk downstairs.
"Old Tang! This is..."
The speaker is the Patriarch of the Cheng family, Cheng Fei.
The head of the Tang family smiled, walked up to Duan Ming, raised his hand and put it on Duan Ming's shoulder, and introduced him to everyone.
"This is a big customer of my Tang family. The metals he mined are all very rare. Three months ago, I did a big business with him!"
The head of the Tang family took the initiative to help him conceal his identity, which made Duan Ming feel relieved. His next plan could continue.
"Head of the Tang family, can I talk to you alone about business matters?"
Duan Ming's current goal is to find Tang Yaqing's location. I believe that the head of the Tang family must know about this, but Duan Ming still thinks this matter is too simple.
"Oh? Our Cheng family is also very interested in the rare metal market recently. Why don't we talk about it together?"
The people present are all old foxes. The wedding is imminent, Cheng Fei will do his best to prevent any unexpected situation from happening, and Duan Ming, who suddenly appeared, is obviously suspected by him.
"Cheng Lang, go and open the reception room on the fourth floor."
After giving the order, Cheng Fei looked at the head of the Tang family and said, "Old Tang, you don't welcome me to join you, do you?"
The head of the Tang family couldn't see any emotion on his face, and smiled and said, "In this case, let's talk together!"
After that, Duan Ming followed the two heads of the family and walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor, but before he took a few steps, another voice sounded behind him.
"Rare metals? You two old guys don't mind my research institute getting a share of the pie, right?"
The person who spoke was none other than Dugu Er.
As mentioned before, although the strength of the Dugu family is not as strong as those big families, no one dares to ignore their opinions because of their research and development of weapons and equipment.
Cheng Fei smiled and said, "Second Mr., let's go together."
When Jiang Yao came to the fourth floor, he was stopped by the Cheng family at the stairs.
The layout of the fourth floor is completely different from the three floors below. There is no hall on the entire fourth floor, only a corridor. There are six rooms on both sides of the corridor. I guess the area of each room is very wide.
When they came to the innermost room, the door was opened and the four people walked in directly.
Entering the room, the decoration inside can no longer be described as luxurious. It is just like the emperor's bedroom!
"Everyone, please sit down."
Cheng Fei said, and then sat in the first place of the square sofa. The sofas were surrounded in a square shape. There was just enough space for one person in one direction, and Duan Ming was sitting opposite Cheng Fei!
