Empress Of The Lost Kingdom Chapter 212
Advertisement
At Tang Corporations, the situation has been getting worse minute by minute.
Out of blue, income tax raids have simultaneously carried out at the branch offices of Tang Corporations in C country as well as overseas.
Once the PR team somehow managed to stop the spread of news from broadcasting, all of sudden, various anonymous sources started to report the dirty work that has been done under the shades of Tang Corporation, through social media.
One after one, the miseries started to rain down on the Tang family.
It didn't take much time for the stocks to hit the rock bottom while dragging down the entire corporation and allied companies to the verge of bankruptcy.
At the headquarters, the meeting of the board of chairmen was organised with immediate effect.
The board members sat with a panicked look on their faces as they waited for Tang Yi to brief them about the current situation.
However, Tang Yi was busy trying to get in touch with his son who was missing from the meeting room,
Tang Wei Sheng practically neglected his duties and stopped coming to the office for a while. The absence of the CEO in these difficult times was enough to create displeasure among the board of members and employees.
"How long are we going to sit here and talk among ourselves?" President Tang, say something," One of the enraged board members initiated the discussion,
"Yes, by now, we are convinced that someone among us has successfully managed to get into the "Hit list" of the government and media. So the only question that remains now is, how much time is left for us before the doom?" Someone followed the suit and started to reveal their worries.
"If these media people continue to expose us, then we won't last more than a month,"
"We are losing money, because of your dumb decision to make an irresponsible boy as the CEO. Tang Yi, as the head of the board, you are responsible for answering our questions," Shen Junru, one of the elders of the Wei Clan bawled.
He was someone who always doubted and disagreed with the decision of making Tang Wei Sheng as the CEO of Tang Corporations.
"While the ship is sinking where the hell did the Captain go? Where is that overachiever of the year?" He didn't try to control his anger as he spoke.
"Do you have any idea how much we lost within a week?"
"You will lose everything," A deep voice rang in the room, sending chills to everyone.
As the entire room shifted their gaze in the direction of the entrance, a handsome looking man slowly strode towards the meeting table.
The man was tall and dressed in a black tailored suit. His well-defined facial features looked extremely striking, but what made everyone alarmed was the pair of almond eyes that shrouded in fury.
The man who appeared before them was the living vessel of the wolf God, who created the Wei clan.
Tang Wei Sheng took a seat at the center of the table and slowly observed the men who surrounded him.
Anyone who share the Wei bloodline was obliged to show their servitude and respect towards the vessel who carry the Wolf in his soul.
At the brink of bankruptcy, they took advantage of the absence of Tang Wei Sheng and dared to criticize him.
However, the moment he appeared, those who were criticizing, shut their mouth in fear.
"Xiao Tang, what do you meant by that?" Ji Chun Tang, one of the elderly member of the board, gathered his courage and asked, "Can you explain what went wrong?"

Tang Wei Sheng glanced at Ji Chun Tang for a moment and turned to look at his grandfather, without answering the question.
Under that piercing stare, Tang Fei felt an oppressive aura spreading over his body.
"Elder Tang, will you explain it or-" Tang Wei Sheng asked, his overbearing stare was so powerful that an unknown fear quickly shrouded over the room.
"We made a mistake," Every single word was a struggle for Tang Fei to say,
"Mistake, you call that a mistake?" Tang Wei Sheng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the people who started muttering on their own.
"Elder Shen," He called out for Shen Junru who loudly started to show his annoyance and contempt towards the Tang family,
It was just his name, yet Shen Junru could feel the commanding power in Tang Wei Sheng's voice that made him hunch in obedience.
"Who is more dangerous? An enemy in the front line or a traitor among the pack?" Tang Wei Sheng continued to ask.
"A traitor," Shen Junru forced himself to endure the highly oppressive aura emanating from the man who could transform into the beast whom they all feared.
According to the beliefs and customs, Wei clan members were taught to obey and thrive as a pack under the wolf god. Even if their statuses differed or decisions clashed, betraying the family was considered as a sin among the members.
"Those who betray, will be beheaded," it was an unwritten rule of Wei Clan.
Looking at the silent crowd in the room, the corners of Tang Wei Sheng's lips rose slightly as he asked something they already knew,
"What happens to people who betray the great wolf God?"
"It was their mistake ...Ning family...they assured that they will kill that woman without any hassles," Tang Fei lowered his head in guilt and fear as he admitted his wrong-doings that ruined Tang corporation.
Right now, the man who sat at the center of the table was not his grand son, but the Alpha male who leads the Wei clan. Tang Fei was bound to plead guilty before him.
"Elder Tang, at least show the guts to admit your mistakes instead of blaming others," Tang Wei Sheng sneered in contempt.
"Which woman... who are they talking about?" The people exchanged curious glances with each other.
"Bai family's young miss," Yang Xiong answered on behalf of Tang Fei.
"Bai family's young miss? So Bai family is behind all these?" The entire room fell into chaos,
"It is not just Bai family but Lee Corporation is also involved," Yang Xiong added monotonously,
"Lee Corporation!!! Tang Yi, what have you done?" Shen Junru trembled in angst as he spoke. He was one of the people who witnessed the power and capability of the Lee family when he expanded his business to K country.
Going against Lee Corporation was nothing but suicidal.
"I heard that Bai family's young miss is engaged to CEO Lee," One of the young members tried to recollect and immediately covered his mouth in horror,
"Don't tell me that you provoked the monster himself... Elder Shen, you've seen him...that man he is nothing but a devil in disguise....he will burn down everything into ashes," He gulped in horror.
"Have you gone mad, Tang Yi? Out of all woman, why did you mess up with miss Bai?" Shen Junru lashed out as he realized the reason behind their misery.
Bai family alone cannot bring much destruction to Tang corporation, but if Lee corporation is involved in the same, then it is nothing but "the end" of their business empire.

"Ask him," Tang Yi who was silent till now, opened his mouth to blame his son,
"Out of all the women in the world why it has to be her?" Tang Yi gritted his teeth as he spat out the words,
"You could have chosen anyone as your partner, yet you selected that witch who wronged your sister and ruined both of your lives?"
Tang Wei Sheng nonchalantly drifted his gaze to Ji Chun Tang. Unlike others, there was a servile look on the old man's face rather than fear.
"Elder Ji, do you still read bed time stories for your grand children?" His question was so random that everyone stared at Tang Wei Sheng, dumbfounded.
"Yes, Xiao Tang," Ji Chun Tang replied honestly. He might be the head of the Ji Corporation but at home, he was nothing but a loving grandfather who spends his time with grand kids.
"Have you ever told them the history of Wei Clan?" Tang Wei Sheng asked again.
"Yes,"
"How about the stories of legendary Wei Sheng who was the last emperor?"
"Yes, Xiao Tang,"
"Do you remember the story of the greatest god who reigned the entire mortal realm?"
The rest of the people looked at the duo in absolute confusion.
What question is that? Every male who born in the Wei bloodline knew all these stories. It was not just stories, it was their belief which catalysts their lives.
"Then tell them...let them know what has lead to the downfall of the greatest god who ruled the mortal realm," Tang Wei Sheng casually demanded,
"He fell in love with the lunar goddess who descended on the earth and-," Ji Chun Tang's wrinkled eyelids shot open when the realization hit him,
"Xiao Tang, that woman...is she one of his-" His voice broke in the mere thought of that particular woman.
"It's her," Tang Wei Sheng said monotonously and let go of the burden that he has been carrying for almost a decade,
"Li Juan is the answer to the Wei clan's quest from time immemorial,"
"No way, I don't believe it..." Tang Yi roared in disagreement as he heard Tang Wei Sheng's claim.
"While we were ardently searching for the lost kingdom, Bai corporation was looking for the homeland that has been snatched from them," Tang Wei Sheng sounded unusually cold and distant as he recollected the stories he heard during the expedition and at the coronation ceremony of Li Juan.
"Bai corporation...they hail from the Yun city...they don't....they aren't, you are lying to save that woman..." Tang Yi who was not prepared to believe his words, refuted furiously.
The woman whom he hated the most, the one whom he considered as the archenemy of his family, how can the same person be the one who was supposed to bring redemption to the Wei Clan? His mind could not digest the truth.
"She is the crowned sovereign head of the Yu palace," Tang Wei Sheng's heavy voice resonated in the silent meeting room.
"Bai Yue Ling, the direct descendant of the lunar maiden, 100th of the royal bloodline, the mother of Yu clan and protector of Jade land,"
"Nooooo," Tang Yi's eyes flared wide as he stared at his people in disbelief. All of their faces had a similar shocked look.
Whatever Tang Wei Sheng said was truly astounding.
For centuries they have been looking for the moonstone that could bring redemption to the Wolf God.
In exchange for a mysterious stone, uncountable numbers of lives has been sacrificed, numerous kingdoms has been destroyed yet it remained hidden from their reach.
Even after invading Yu kingdom, the last place where the moonstone was rumoured to be stored, no Wei clan member could find the moonstone.
"Yu clan is alive?" Ji Chun Tang asked in a surprised voice as he refreshed the memory of a kingdom that never existed in the history of C country, "Do they still have moonstone?
"Maybe...maybe not," Tang Wei Sheng gave a vague answer and continued,
"But one thing that I'm sure is Li Juan is the person whom the wolf searches...," He stopped and closed his eyes for a moment before revealing the truth.
"She is his precious possession. The only mate who completes him, the moon,"
A sombre silence followed Tang Wei Sheng's declaration.
At that moment, the elders of Tang family finally realized the grave mistake they have committed.
In search of the moonstone, they failed to recognize the moon herself,
In the name of Wei clan's pride and status, Tang family disapproved Li Juan as the idea of bringing her as daughter in law and even tried to murder her numerous times, not knowing her real identity as a Yu clan member.
Now they can only regret over their actions on ruining the lives of the heirs of Tang family.
Despite their harsh efforts to separate Li Juan from Tang Wei Sheng, he hold onto her like his entire life depends on her.
He knew it, the one who is capable of rescuing him from the ill fate and agony, was only Li Juan.
She was his true mate.
"Grandpa and dad," Tang Wei Sheng turned towards his family members, his handsome face lacked any endearing emotions as he looked at them.
"I may restrain myself from hurting you and destroying Tang Corporation, but that's not the case with the wolf. You made a mistake and the price for it is quite heavy. The one who gave us power and wealth, he clearly knows how and when to take it back,"
His reminder shook the walls of the meeting room.
Such a thing sounded too incredulous and unimaginable, so horrifying that it sent chills running through the people.
"And dad, you missed one thing," Tang Wei Sheng called out his father, "Lee Tae Yang is general Guan's grandson. Do you know what does that mean? His furious eyes riveted to Tang Yi who sat there with a defeated look,
"Even the prisons won't be safe for you,"
Tang Wei Sheng rendered coldly and stood up from his seat, glancing at the horrified members in the room,
"You all have forty-eight hours to save your necks, after that, even the great Wei Lang will not able to stop the downfall of Tang corporation"
Tang Wei Sheng warned them in an unflinching tone and walked away from the meeting room without looking back.
The downfall of Tang Corporation is inevitable.
At the same time, Ning Jing was on pins and needles as she remained locked up in Ahn Lu Shan's house after without any contact with the outer world.
"How long are you going to lock me here?" Ning Jing sounded agitated as she threw tantrums at Ahn Lu Shan who guarded her.
"You are safe as long as you stay in these four walls," He informed with an indifferent face,
"I want to see Tang Wei Sheng. We were supposed to register our marriage,"
"Do you think he is in a situation to marry you?" Ahn Lu Shan made a condescending sneer as he listened to her words.
"Young master lost someone whom he loved for years. He is devastated now,"
"Then what about elder Tang or president Tang?" Ning Jing thought for a moment before asking, "Secretary Ahn, can you contact anyone of them ?"
"I am sorry miss, there is no way I can help you and all you can do is wait until the issue gets settled itself," Ahn Lu Shan shared the painful truth to her,
"That bitch... she is torturing me even after her death," Ning Jing gritted her teeth in frustration.
Ahn Lu Shan looked at her distressed face and wished to laugh,
Ning Jing was unaware of the fact that Li Juan escaped death once again and the entire Bai family is searching for the one who is behind the attack.
"Miss Ning, are you the one who came up with the idea of drowning Li Juan in the pool?" Ahn Lu Shan asked casually,
"Yes, I wanted to eliminate the slightest chance of saving her life. Even if she was saved from drowning to death, she won't be able to return to her normal life," Ning Jing said in a jovial tone as if she is proud of her infallible plan.
"Why did you ask, Secretary Ahn?"
"Nothing. I was just curious. Recently I heard about someone who came to life after drowning in the freezing Xi river," Ahn Lu Shan came blatantly lied,
"What kind of stupid joke is that?" Ning Jing let out a laugh,
"If someone could survive the Xi river, then they should be called God. No human can survive in that freezing river. It is nothing but Styx that leads to after world,"
Ahn Lu Shan give her a half-hearted nod as he stared at Ning Jing who was rejoicing in her newly found happiness and satisfaction of eliminating Li Juan from her life.
"Yes, there is a person who came back from death...not only once but countless times," He mumbled inwardly,
