Chapter 516: A Fatal Trap
After Tang Corps'' Annual Product Launch, the new perfume produced by Tang Corps became a hot
selling product. It seemed, themotion caused on the night, was not enough to effect the
operations of thepany. In fact, it allowed the consumers to see the strict approach of Tang
Corps'' management as well as their intent. Most importantly, they witnessed Tangning''s capability.
After Tangning gave Tang Corps a cleanse, investors and clients felt a lot more confident in the
company. At the same time, the shareholders were given an indirect warning: the Tang Family
wasn''t useless!
Meanwhile, Xia Yuling''s secretary wanted to take advantage of the messy situation to make her
escape.
In reality, from the time she returned from Switzend she had continuously been in a frightened
state. She originally thought that their n was a sess, but who would have thought that
Tangning would end up taking the position of Acting CEO.
She knew that Tangning was extremely capable, so she didn''t dare to stay in Tang Corps for much
longer. She secretly got news of the situation in Tang Corps and waited for the moment when she
thought Tangning had her guard down to leave Beijing. Unfortunately...

...her every move was within Mo Ting''s grasp. As soon as she stepped foot into the airport, Mo
Ting''s people immediately took her away.
In an instant, she was delivered to the CEO''s office of Tang Corps. As she looked at Tangning, she
guiltily took a few steps back, but was stopped by the security guards behind her.
"What are you trying to do? Tangning, what you''ve done is illegal."
"Illegal?" Tangning lifted her head and looked at the secretary with a slight coldness. "Did you think
of the legalities when you schemed against my mother?"
The secretary trembled as her hands began to sweat, "President Xia was kidnapped by
criminals...What has that got to do with me?"
"Then why didn''t they kidnap you as well?" Tangning asked back. "Secretary Gao, we are both
understanding people, so let''s not go around in circles. Since I knew your every move, it''s obvious
that everything that you and Tang Xuan have done, has been under my observation..."
"Even if you don''t tell me what happened, I can investigate the truth. But, I''m afraid that won''t be
very beneficial to you."
"Of course, it simply means I need to do a bit of extra work. So, I''ll leave that for you to decide."
After speaking, Tangning lowered her head and continued working. But, the less noise that
Tangning made, the more Secretary Gao trembled in fear. She was well aware that the woman in
front of her wasn''t Tang Xuan. She wasn''t the Big Miss that could be easily fooled into giving her
money.
"I will only give you one minute."
Secretary Gao swallowed nervously as she sped her hands together. After struggling with her
thoughts for a while, she finally gave up, "I''ll tell you everything. But, you need to promise me that
you won''t send me to the police."
"I can do that, but you need to do something for me."
Tang Xuan continued to live in the Tang Household; apart from this ce, she had nowhere else to
go. After all, Elder Tang had previously proimed that no matter what mistakes she made, she
was still the Big Miss of the Tang Family and this would forever be her home. In reality, he merely
said this to keep her grounded and not to cause anymore troubles in case she hurt the child in her
stomach.
That night, light snowfall fell upon Beijing.
Elder Tang instructed his housekeeper to prepare a big feast as Tangning would be hosting a dinner
at their house.
It had been a long time since Tangning hadst returned to the Tang Household, so Elder Tang
joyously made preparations. But, while the household was filled with glee, Tang Xuan was the only
one that felt like she was trapped inside a torturous cage.
It didn''t take long before the guests invited by Tangning, began to arrive. The shareholders originally
thought that the Tang Family were treating them to a new year dinner in advance.
But, as the elders sat down around the dinner table, they looked at each other and felt something
wasn''t quite right.
"Chairman, the Third Miss invited us here for dinner, but why isn''t she here yet?"
Elder Tang touched his walking stick with a joyous smile, "She''s on her way. The weather is cold
and the roads are slippery, so I told her to be careful."
Tang Yichen and Tang Jingxuan huddled together to chat, treating Tang Xuan like she was on
another. Meanwhile, Tang Xuan supported her back as she sat in her seat looking down at
her protruding belly...
At this time, the housekeeper approached and whispered to Elder Tang, "Chairman, the Third Miss
and Third Master are here."
Afterwards, everyone looked towards the entrance and watched as Mo Ting walked in with his arm
around Tangning. The couple had a suppressing and dignified presence, like the human equivalents
of a Dragon and Phoenix with a unique aura.
"Sorry for making everyone wait."
"Hurry, the food''s ready..." Elder Tang said as he pointed to the two seats beside him.
Tangning smiled as Mo Ting''s eyes deepened. Of course, he was merely here to serve as a
backdrop for Tangning, but this backdrop was much too striking and hard to ignore.
"I''ve invited you all here today to serve as an apology for any disrespect I may have shown over the
past few days," Tangning said as she lifted her teacup. "I shall toast you with tea in instead of wine
as a token of goodwill."
"Child, you sure are made for the business world. You''ve never studied management, but you know
the tricks to being a good leader; you know the bnce between justice and mercy," one of the
shareholders praised.
Although the other shareholders weren''tpletely convinced by Tangning, they couldn''t express
their true thoughts at a time like this, so they simply smiled.
"Thank you for your praise. When ites to management, I am just a rookie. However, I have
invited you here today not just to apologize but also because I have another matter to deal with in
front of everyone."
"Third Miss, if you have something to say, please go ahead."
After hearing these words, Tangning lifted her head and looked at Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan
responded with a mocking smile, "In what way have I upset you this time? Are you going to do
something to me again?"
"Tangning, I never thought you''d cling onto a sewer rat and not let go," to emphasize her pitiful
state, Tang Xuan squeaked like a rat, "Speak, what is it this time?"
"I''ve heard news about my mother," Tangning said calmly.
Tang Xuan''s expression changed in an instant.
"Although we haven''t located her just yet...I think the Big Miss can exin the situation to all of us."
"What does the Third Miss mean by this?" one of the shareholders asked. "What does President
Xia''s kidnapping have to do with the Big Miss?"
Tang Xuan''s face was stiff, but she wasn''t willing to admit defeat, "Tangning, I know I''m a failure, but
don''t implicate me with every single issue. Xia Yuling went missing because she was down on her
luck, what has that got to do with me?"
"I knew you wouldn''t admit it," Tangning revealed a mocking smile. "I also know that all those seated
here today had previously caused a lot of trouble and difficulty for my mother, so I''ve gathered you
all here today toy the cards on the table."
With Tangning''s words, everyone finally realized that they weren''t merely here for a dinner. They
had been lured into a fatal trap!
And Tangning''s motive was simple: she was going to make them pay!
"Tang Xuan, think it over carefully. If you leave this issue for me to expose...your child may have to
grow up in jail."
