I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 456 - 454: His Dad was Beaten by My Dad
"Mr. Zhang, please come in! This is our residence in Jiangnan City. My father has already hurried over from the Magic Capital overnight and should arrive within half an hour!"
Zhang Menglong’s car was immediately towed away, and to express their apology, the Hua Family quickly arranged for a car to take Zhang Menglong and his party to one of their luxurious villas in Jiangnan City.
Today, Hua Tianze was originally in Magic Capital City to meet an old friend. After learning about this incident, he immediately took a private jet to Jiangnan City. This matter, he must handle it with utmost care, otherwise, their loss might not be limited to a mere 150 billion US Dollars.
"Brother, you’re back? I just called you, how could you..." Hua Yuhan had thought it was just Hua Ye returning, but when she saw Zhang Menglong and Lu Yiyao behind him, she was instantly stunned.
Although she had never met Zhang Menglong, she was naturally familiar with this face that often appeared in the media. As for Lu Yiyao, that had been her rival over the past few months.

"Lu Yiyao? How come you’re here? Brother, you..." Hua Yuhan had countless questions in her mind. How could Hua Ye be walking together with these two people?
"Yuhan, don’t call Miss Lu by her name directly!" Hua Ye immediately reprimanded her sternly, "Mr. Zhang and Miss Lu are our guests. Go prepare two cups of tea quickly, using the tea leaves that dad reserves for honored guests."
"Brother? Are you crazy? You want me to personally prepare tea for them?"
The tea leaves that Hua Yuhan’s father used to entertain distinguished guests were rare Da Hong Pao, with limited annual production and a price even more expensive than gold. Of course, Hua Yuhan was not reluctant to use the tea leaves; after all, defeating Hua Ye in terms of economic strength was nothing to Zhang Menglong.
But the fact that Hua Ye actually wanted her to personally serve them tea, she was the Princess of the Hua Family. When had it come to her turn to pour tea for others? Was this some kind of joke?
"I’m not asking you in a tone meant for negotiation, I am commanding you as your brother!" Hua Ye said with a serious tone.
At that moment, Hua Yuhan was completely stunned. Was this the brother who always doted on her? From her childhood, Hua Ye hardly ever lost his temper with her. Was he actually being harsh to her over two strangers now?
"I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang, Miss Lu, my sister can be somewhat willful and unreasonable. I hope the two of you won’t take it to heart." Hua Ye quickly apologized.
"It’s fine," Zhang Menglong didn’t seem to mind.
"Mr. Hua, you’re too polite. On the show, Miss Yuhan and I are competitors, but actually, our relationship isn’t that bad." Lu Yiyao also smiled. After all, this show was meant to be broadcasted on television. Even if it was just for appearances, they had to fake a good relationship, right?
"When dad comes over later, you prepare the tea and then go back to your room. Don’t talk nonsense anymore!" Hua Ye instructed.
"I got it," Hua Yuhan knew that her brother was serious this time, and could only hold back the frustration in her heart and went to prepare the tea.
...
"Brother, what exactly is going on? Why did you bring them two to our house?" While Zhang Menglong and Lu Yiyao were enjoying their tea, Hua Yuhan quietly pulled Hua Ye aside. If she couldn’t get an answer now, she felt she might just burst.
"Isn’t it all because of your actions?" Hua Ye sighed. Actually, he couldn’t completely blame Hua Yuhan, it was just that their competitiveness had been too strong. If they hadn’t broken the rules of the competition from the start, they wouldn’t have ended up on opposing sides with Zhang Menglong.
"They have a very powerful background?" Hua Yuhan could only guess this possibility.
"I don’t know," Hua Ye said with a wry smile, "Up until now, I still know very little about his background."
"Then why did even dad rush over?" she knew that with Hua Tianze’s current status, even meeting leaders required an appointment.
"Do you remember the incident from ten years ago?" Hua Ye asked.
"Ten years ago? Are they related to that person from ten years ago?" Hua Yuhan’s eyes widened. She was not yet ten years old at that time, but that incident cast a shadow over her childhood, lingering in her heart.
She vaguely remembered the night when the whole family bowed and scraped around somebody, the atmosphere resembling the courtiers and the Emperor during the feudal period.
"That person, is Zhang Menglong’s father!" Hua Ye’s face bore a pale smile, "Do you know what ancient instrument Lu Yiyao used for her final performance?"
Hua Yuhan shook her head, "I only know that instrument was truly miraculous, at that time I even thought I was dreaming!"
"That was the Fuxi instrument!"
"One of the ten Divine Artifacts that had long vanished from Huaxia?" Hua Yuhan exclaimed, feeling a sense of relief in her heart at that moment, "Although my instrument is worth a fortune, compared with a Divine Artifact, isn’t that a joke? I lost fairly!"
"Asura and War God, my two uncles, tried to snatch the Fuxi instrument from him, but his bodyguards subdued them all in an instant."
"There was such an incident?" Even though Hua Yuhan was not a Psychic, she was very aware of how formidable her two uncles were, "In Longxia, they can hardly find a few equals, and such people were subdued in an instant?"
"We failed, so you can guess what happened after that..."
...
"Mr. Zhang!" At this moment, a forceful voice came from outside the door, and a middle-aged man rushed into the villa in a flurry, his gaze freezing the moment he saw Zhang Menglong.
"He looks too much like him, those eyes and that expression are exactly the same!" Just from this first impression, Hua Tianze was certain that Zhang Menglong was unmistakably Zhang Xiaoyun’s son!
"Are you Hua Tianze?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I am Hua Tianze!" Hua Tianze answered respectfully, "My son and daughter have offended you both, and I hope that you can forgive us!"
Hua Tianze immediately took out several documents from a briefcase he carried, "Mr. Zhang, to express our family’s apology, here is some of our sincerity!"
"Oh?" Zhang Menglong took the document.
"51% of Jinding Group’s shares, a listed real estate company, market value 80 billion US Dollars."
"66% of the shares of Simonton Pharmaceuticals, market value 57 billion US Dollars."
"47% of Bai Ling Technology’s shares, market value 1,200 billion US Dollars."
...
These documents were all share transfer agreements, each company with a market scale of at least several billion US Dollars. Just the combined value of these company shares already exceeded 1,500 billion US Dollars!
"Mr. Zhang, we don’t have much in the way of liquid funds, but I hope these assets satisfy you. Furthermore, here is a savings account from a Swiss Bank, containing 20 billion US Dollars in cash, this is the greatest sincerity our Hua Family can offer!"
On the side, both Hua Ye and Hua Yuhan were somewhat bewildered; Hua Tianze’s reaction was exaggerated, to say the least. It was one thing to compensate with 1,500 billion US Dollars, but why did he seem eager to give away everything he had?
This was simply too submissive; such an attitude was no longer groveling, this was downright abasing oneself before a predator!
"Menglong, why is he behaving like this?" Lu Yiyao felt somewhat astonished by Hua Tianze’s demeanor, even if their family couldn’t afford to offend Zhang Menglong, there was no need to go to such lengths!
On the way here, Ye Yin had briefed Zhang Menglong about the details of past events. That incident wasn’t as simple as the Hua Family paying off a debt; as the instigator, Hua Tianze had not only been punished by his family.
After the Dragon King and that Psychic of the Hua Family were beaten down, Hua Tianze was hung by Zhang Xiaoyun on an electric pole for ten minutes. It was said that the screams that night could be heard for miles around.
"I think I might know," Zhang Menglong tried to suppress a laugh, "Ten years ago, his father was beaten up by my dad. It must be a case of once bitten, twice shy!"
