Chapter 23.1 : Truly Worthy of Being Father and Son — Go Eat Prison Food Together! (Part 1)
The collapsed building in the Gushan District of Modu (Demon City)!?
The smug expression on Zhang Teng's face instantly drained of color, turning pale as if struck by a bolt from the blue!
He had long since erased all evidence connecting himself to that incident—he had even changed his name because of it!
So how did Tang Qingmo know!?
"Five years ago, the collapse of that building killed more than a dozen construction workers. But at the time, the boss just happened to be overseas and successfully escaped…"
Tang Qingmo smiled faintly. "President Zhang, do you have any clues?"
Though his tone was calm, his gaze was sharp as needles, as if it were piercing straight through Zhang Teng!
Principal Lin, standing to the side, was also greatly shocked.
When it came to the building collapse in Demon City five years ago, it had once shaken the entire nation due to the deaths of multiple construction workers!
The police investigation revealed that the contractor had embezzled over fifty percent of the funds. During construction, inferior materials were used throughout.
As a result, the steel supports inside the building rusted during construction, failed to hold, and ultimately collapsed!
But by sheer coincidence, the contractor's boss had gone overseas for business two days before the accident, thus evading capture.
Now, hearing Tang Qingmo's words—could it be that Zhang Teng was that very contractor!?
Tang Qingmo looked at Zhang Teng's deathly pale face, sneered, and casually crossed his legs.
"Well, President Zhang? Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?"
!!?
"I… I don't know what you're talking about…"
Zhang Teng trembled violently, even stuttering as he spoke.
Anyone could tell at a glance—he was guilty!
"Don't know? That's fine."
Tang Qingmo directly picked up his phone and tapped the call button.
"I'll call the police uncle. Then you'll know."
"NO!!"
Zhang Teng screamed instantly, startling both Principal Lin and Zhang Ling at the scene.
Such an extreme reaction could only mean one thing—the incident was indeed connected to him!
Still, no one could figure out how Tang Qingmo had learned about it.
Tang Qingmo merely curled his lips into a smile.
Of course, he learned it from the system.
Although the system mainly provided lottery draws, it was also this world's "omniscient being"!
Any question, any information he wanted—he only had to ask the system.
To Tang Qingmo, this was the greatest cheat of all—intelligence!
In any era, in any country, intelligence was the most valuable treasure!
And now he not only knew about the filthy deeds Zhang Teng had committed, but also knew that Zhang Teng hadn't even gone by that name five years ago.
After the fallout from the collapse faded, Zhang Teng spent some money abroad to change his identity, returned to the country, and continued in real estate.
In just two short years, he made another massive fortune!
How utterly ironic!
"Dad, what is Tang Qingmo even talking about?"
Zhang Ling asked in confusion from the side.
Come to think of it, five years ago he really had been suddenly taken overseas by his parents, lived there for over two years, and then returned—after which his parents suddenly changed their names…
Back then, he was only thirteen. He didn't know the details. Whatever his parents said, he just followed.
But now Tang Qingmo was talking about a building collapse… what exactly was going on!?
Tang Qingmo looked at Zhang Ling and smiled with the expression one would give an idiot.
"Of course I'm saying that Young Master Zhang is the son of a deadbeat and a criminal."
"One of you sucked the blood and sweat of the people and fled as a fugitive after the accident; the other bullies and commits evil at school. Truly worthy of being father and son—go eat prison food together!"
As he spoke, Tang Qingmo picked up his phone again, about to dial.
"Quick! Stop him!"
Zhang Teng panicked. Seeing Tang Qingmo about to call the police, he reflexively shouted for the two martial artists behind him to restrain him.
"President Zhang, what are you doing!?"
Principal Lin cried out in alarm when he saw the two martial artists suddenly rush toward Tang Qingmo.
However, just as one of them reached out to grab Tang Qingmo, Tang Qingmo suddenly reversed his grip and seized the man's wrist.
He gathered the power of his blood energy into his palm. His fingers tightened violently—
Crack!
With a sharp sound, the man's wrist bones shattered instantly!
"AAAAH!!"
The martial artist didn't even have time to react. As his wrist broke, Tang Qingmo delivered a fierce kick to his calf, knocking him completely off balance and sending him crashing to the ground.
Tang Qingmo didn't stop.
The moment the first man fell, his palm—still condensed with blood energy—lashed toward the second martial artist's face.
"NGH!!"
This slap carried terrifying force. The violent impact sent the tall man flying into the air, spinning twice before smashing down onto the ground.
