Collection of Gods

Chapter 800 Speaking out
The night deepens and the moon rises above the willow trees.

Tang Yuan was in a good mood the whole way back to the hotel from the King's Palace.

"Xiong Kai, contact the air traffic control bureaus in Bangkok and Zhonghai and arrange the route in advance. We will set off for home at noon tomorrow."

Before getting off the car, Tang Yuan gave instructions to Xiong Kai, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

The copy of Zen Master Biancai has now been obtained, but if you want to truly complete the five-star task, you are still missing a crucial step, which is to separate the copy of Zen Master Biancai from Wang Xizhi's original work.

This is a technical job, which Tang Yuan cannot do by himself. He must return to China and ask a top cultural relic master to do it. Otherwise, if he is not careful, the result may very likely be "one corpse, two lives", and there is no room for carelessness.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Xiong Kai responded in a muffled voice, while Tang Yuan walked into the presidential villa carrying a portable safe containing the copy of Zen Master Biancai.

It was not as brightly lit as he had imagined. Only the lights in the living room on the first floor of the villa were dimly lit. Tang Yuan walked around and then went to the second floor carrying a portable safe. Finally, he saw Lin Xingwan half lying on a folding chair on the open-air balcony.

From a distance, Lin Xingwan's beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked like she was worried about something. After Tang Yuan put the portable safe away properly, he walked towards Lin Xingwan.

"Xingwan, I'm back."

Tang Yuan walked over to Lin Xingwan and sat down. "The King of Thailand just invited me to have dinner in the palace, so I was delayed for a while. Did you have dinner?"

"I saw the message you sent me. I already ate it myself."

Lin Xingwan sat up a little straighter, tidied her hair that was blown by the evening breeze on her forehead, and responded softly to Tang Yuan.

"what happened?"

"You don't seem to be in a very good mood. Are you worried about something?"

Tang Yuan did not hide anything and asked him directly.

Lin Xingwan nodded, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Tang Yuan, do you have a good relationship with the Huo family in Australia City? Can I trouble you with something?"

"Xingwan, tell me what's going on."

Tang Yuan remained calm, but he already had some guesses in his mind.

"My father has been living in Australia for some time. Although my parents divorced at the beginning of the year, I still keep in touch with him occasionally. But five days ago, I suddenly found that I couldn't contact him. My phone was turned off and no one responded to my WeChat messages. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air."

Lin Xingwan couldn't hide her anxiety when she said this: "I'm worried that something has happened to my father, so I want to ask you, can you ask someone from the Huo family in Aocheng to help me find my father in Aocheng?"

Lin Zhenshan was addicted to gambling, and he destroyed his originally wonderful family. Lin Xingwan naturally felt resentment in her heart, but resentment aside, Lin Zhenshan was indeed a good father before he became a gambler. Just like all fathers, he gave all his love to Lin Xingwan.

There is hate and there is love.

After all, he is his own father. Now he suddenly disappeared and lost contact, and he owes a huge gambling debt. It is naturally difficult for Lin Xingwan not to have wild thoughts.

Facing Lin Xingwan's plea, Tang Yuan was silent for a moment. He said nothing, got up and took a tablet from the bedroom, then opened a video surveillance software in Lin Xingwan's somewhat puzzled eyes. "Take a look."

Tang Yuan clicked on a screen among the many video surveillance screens, and then he handed the tablet computer in his hand to the person in front of him.

Lin Xingwan took the tablet, and when she saw the person in the video surveillance screen, her pupils suddenly shrank, because this person was none other than Lin Xingwan's father, Lin Zhenshan.

It was also nighttime in Australia City. Lin Zhenshan was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas watching the game. Apart from looking a little listless, he did not have any other physical injuries. The surroundings looked very luxurious, and could definitely be called a mansion.

"Tang Yuan, this..."

"what on earth is it?"

Lin Xingwan's eyes were filled with confusion.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan was silent for a moment, and then he no longer concealed anything and truthfully recounted to Lin Xingwan the many things that happened when he met Lin Zhenshan that night when he stayed in Macau.

As Tang Yuan continued to speak, Lin Xingwan's face became paler and paler, and in the end she was even afraid to look Tang Yuan in the eye.

"Don't worry, your father is under the care of the Huo family. There is no need to worry about his safety. Moreover, the Huo family is very knowledgeable about quitting gambling. As long as your father can persevere, he will most likely be able to successfully quit gambling in the future."

Tang Yuan paused for a moment and continued, "As for the 20 million gambling debt your father owes, the Huo family has already helped your father settle the debt. If you are worried about your father, you can follow me back to the country this time and go to Australia City to see your father."

The river is surging and the cicadas are chirping.

For Lin Xingwan, the silence at the moment made her feel a little breathless. It was as if a woman who had been immersed in a beauty camera for a long time was suddenly exposed to the original camera. The feeling of exposure after her disguise was completely torn off made Lin Xingwan feel a little ashamed.

"Xingwan, I just want to ask a question."

After a long while, Tang Yuan spoke again. He stared at Lin Xingwan, his eyes were solemn but not oppressive at all: "On the night of the class reunion, you took the initiative to get into my car. Was it because you already knew my identity?"

Lin Xingwan slowly raised her head, her face a little bitter, and finally nodded slightly.

"so……"

"You approached me because you knew my identity, right?"

Tang Yuan actually already knew the answer to this question. His expression did not change at all, except that his eyes became a little deeper. At the same time, he asked Lin Xingwan again in a low voice.

Lin Xingwan didn't know how to explain. She did choose to get close to Tang Yuan because of his power at first. She wanted to get help from Tang Yuan to fulfill her dream. But as time went by, Tang Yuan's humorous personality, mature and profound thoughts, and handsome appearance made Lin Xingwan change from being attracted by Tang Yuan's power to being attracted by Tang Yuan himself.

However, if she said this now, it would be too late. Not only would it not be credible, but it would make Tang Yuan think she was even more hypocritical. In the end, all her thousands of words turned into just one word.

"Yes……"
