Chapter 26.2 : Tang Xianxi and Tang Xuerong Are Taken Away (Part 2)
Bai Hualian couldn't say a word.
In her heart, all she wanted was for her two sons to get along, for the family to live happily together.
But why?
Why had things turned out like this?
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
Principal Lin, standing nearby and watching Bai Hualian's grief-stricken expression, felt nothing but speechless.
This mother really couldn't tell right from wrong!
Her biological son had been bullied to this extent by the adopted son, yet she was still thinking about protecting the adopted one—without sparing even the slightest thought for her own flesh and blood.
No wonder Tang Qingmo was being so ruthless!
After the police left, Zhang Ling visibly let out a sigh of relief.
He hadn't been taken to the police station!
He wasn't going to prison!
"Um… Young Master Tang…"
Gone was his earlier arrogance. Zhang Ling now spoke to Tang Qingmo cautiously.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll—"
"..."
Tang Qingmo's indifferent gaze drifted over, startling Zhang Ling so badly that he jumped. He immediately fled in panic, scrambling away as if his soul had left his body!
[Host, are you really planning to let Zhang Ling go?]
The system was confused.
Judging by its host's personality, he shouldn't be this kind-hearted!
Tang Qingmo curled his lips.
[I only said I'd give him a way to live.]
As for what kind of way that would be—it would depend on Zhang Ling's luck!

In just a short time, news of the Zhang family head being arrested shot to the top of the trending searches.
At the Tang Group headquarters, Tang Jianren felt his right eyelid twitch nonstop, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
When he learned that Zhang Teng had been arrested at his own son's school, that ominous feeling only intensified!
Soon after, he heard Tang Ruoling's shocked voice.
"What, Mom?! You're saying Tang Qingmo sent Xiao Xi and Xuerong to the police station?!"
Tang Jianren: !?
What now!?
What kind of mess was this?!
The two of them hurried to the police station, only to find Bai Hualian already inside, crying uncontrollably. Tang Meixin and Tang Aili were by her side, trying to comfort her.
Tang Ruoling immediately stepped forward and asked,
"Mom! What on earth happened?"
"..."
Bai Hualian recounted everything she had witnessed earlier in the principal's office to Tang Jianren and Tang Ruoling.
Tang Ruoling felt as if struck by lightning.
"Impossible! How could Xiao Xi instigate someone to bully Tang Qingmo?!"
"I don't believe it either, but the police have already taken Xiao Xi away…"
Bai Hualian sobbed. Just thinking about Tang Xianxi suffering at the police station made her heart ache unbearably.
"….."
Tang Jianren was worried about Tang Xianxi and Tang Xuerong—but what concerned him even more was the fact that Zhang Teng had been arrested because of Tang Qingmo!
How did Tang Qingmo know that Zhang Teng was the boss who escaped five years ago?
During the three months since he had been brought back, had all that apparent cowardice been nothing but an act?
At that moment, Tang Aili's voice interrupted Tang Jianren's thoughts.
"Dad, you must get Xiao Xi and Xuerong out!"
"And this time, that beast Tang Qingmo actually dared to send Xiao Xi to the police station. He absolutely cannot be forgiven!"
Tang Jianren frowned.
"You say he can't be forgiven—so what do you plan to do?"
"Huh?"
Tang Aili was momentarily speechless, then said slowly,
"Just… send him to a mental hospital and lock him up? Or cut off all ties with him?"
Bai Hualian immediately stopped her.
"No, Aili! Even if Qingmo is at fault, you can't treat him like that!"
Qingmo had already become estranged from her. If they pushed things to the extreme, mother and son would never reconcile!
Tang Jianren, however, found Tang Aili's suggestion laughable.
"Send him to a mental hospital? Cut off ties? You really came up with that?"
"Right now, the Tang family is already being attacked over the real-versus-fake heir issue. Countless eyes are watching us, waiting for another mistake! And at a time like this, you want to send Tang Qingmo to a mental hospital and sever ties with him?"
"Are you trying to make sure the Tang family dies even faster?!"
