Tang Zheng also opened his eyes wide in surprise. He didn't expect that Mr. Yao actually had such a powerful backer.

"I heard that Xiao Yao recognized his biological son. Is that true?"

Tang Zheng nodded: "Yes, my grandfather and his family are finally reunited, I am also very happy."

The head of the family nodded: "Very good, the boy can enjoy his old age in peace."

He said, and yawned.

Seeing this, the housekeeper said to everyone, "The master needs to rest. You can all wish him a happy new year and then go your separate ways."

The head of the Ming family forced himself to cheer up: "Don't leave, let the kitchen cook, everyone gather together, I'm going to take a rest for a while, and have the New Year's Eve dinner with everyone..."

Everyone responded, greeted the head of the Ming family in unison, and then presented the carefully prepared New Year gifts.

Tang Zheng opened his mouth and almost burped.

The head of the Ming family was helped away, and the hall suddenly became lively.

Tang Zheng nervously grabbed Xiao Beiqi's hand and said, "Don't leave, or I'll be eaten by them."

Xiao Beiqi held the man in his arms: "Don't worry, they won't dare to do that as long as I'm here."

"Sister, this is the New Year's gift I prepared for you." Wei Xiaoxiao said, and handed Tang Zheng a red velvet box.

"Thank you..." Tang Zheng looked at Xiao Beiqi uncertainly. She came to the Ming family and didn't prepare any gifts for others.

"Xiao Tang, this is a gift I prepared for you."

"Xiao Tang, your gift..."

Soon, Wei Xiaoxiao was pushed aside, and Tang Zheng was overwhelmed with gifts.

Xiao Beiqi told her: "You don't have to return the gift today. I'll have someone prepare a gift and send it over tomorrow."

In fact, according to common sense, Tang Zheng should greet these elders first and give them gifts first.

However, everyone now wants to have a good relationship with Tang Zheng, so that they can get in touch with the miracle doctor through Tang Zheng, and then get the "elixir of life", live a long life and enjoy wealth and glory, so it is appropriate to lower their posture appropriately.

The old ladies who had disliked Tang Zheng before were now all smiling from ear to ear, saying nice things to him without asking for anything in return.

"Xiao Tang is so pretty, much better than that Miss Wang!"

"Look at her face, with a round forehead and a round chin, she is definitely a lucky charm for her husband!"

Tang Zheng felt goosebumps all over her body and held Xiao Beiqi's hand even tighter. If anyone tried to have physical contact with her to get closer to her, she would be so scared that she wouldn't dare to breathe.

To be honest, even though Xiao Beiqi has become the heir of the Ming family and has status and position, Tang Zheng still feels more at ease when he is serving in the army.

Wei Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Zheng who was surrounded by people and talking and laughing, and her face looked very unhappy.

At this time, Mingliang said indifferently: "If you have half of her ability, our whole family will worship you."

Before Wei Xiaoxiao could say anything, Ming Yu sneered, "Well, she can only dream about it."

Wei Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, touched her belly, and asked Mingliang: "Since we got married, you haven't come back to your parents' home with me. Let's go back on the second day of the New Year?"

Mingliang glanced at Wei Xiaoxiao and said nothing.

Obviously, it was rejected.

Mingyu rolled her eyes, crossed her arms and squeezed into the crowd.

At this moment, fireworks suddenly bloomed outside, dyeing the sky red.

Tang Zheng held Xiao Beiqi's hand and said to the people around him, "Shall we go watch the fireworks?"

Everyone said yes in unison and surrounded Tang Zheng as they went out.

In the crowd, two people looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

It was a bit cold outside and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Tang Zheng was half wrapped in Xiao Beiqi's windbreaker, looking at the fireworks blooming in the sky, feeling particularly satisfied.

Her previous life was miserable and lonely, but in this life, she finally got her fulfillment. Her child will be born soon, and she has a happy and warm family.

At this moment, something suddenly fell at Tang Zheng's feet.

Tang Zheng only took one look and screamed: "Ah..."

Xiao Beiqi's face changed, and he quickly turned around while holding her. There was a 'bang' and something exploded behind Xiao Beiqi.

"How are you, are you okay?"

Tang Zheng glanced at the ground, then hurriedly checked Xiao Beiqi's condition.

The light outside was dim, and it was hard to see what was going on with Xiao Beiqi.

Xiao Beiqi didn't say anything. He carried the person into the house and put him on a chair. "Are you okay?"

Tang Zheng shook his head, grabbed Xiao Beiqi's hand, and forcefully turned him half a circle.

There were traces of burns on Xiao Beiqi's clothes behind him. Fortunately, he moved a step at that time, otherwise the situation would have been very serious.

She lifted up Xiao Beiqi's clothes and saw a bloodstain on his back. Tang Zheng was shocked and his face turned pale in an instant: "How are you? Does it hurt? Let's go to the hospital?"

Xiao Beiqi straightened Tang Zheng's lifted clothes and said expressionlessly, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

Tang Zheng was angry and distressed: "It's like this, and it doesn't hurt. Who are you trying to fool?"

"Oh, I guess there was something wrong with the firecrackers because they were stored for too long. Fortunately, no one was hurt!" Mingyu said with a frown.

Wei Xiaoxiao agreed: "That's right. If this hurts my elder sister, the consequences will be serious."

Tang Zheng's expression changed slightly. Was this really just an accident? Why did he fall under her feet?

If she was a little more timid and reacted slower, could the baby in her belly have been scared out?

Or maybe, given the power of the firecracker, she might be dead or alive now.

At this time, someone discovered something strange: "If the firecracker had been stored for a long time and something went wrong, how could it be so loud? And judging by the situation, there should be a lot of gunpowder in it."

"Check, we must check to see if someone is causing trouble!"

"It looks like someone wants to harm this couple!"

Everyone was talking at once, and what they said were all very high-sounding, with each one more excited than the last.

Tang Zheng grabbed Xiao Beiqi's arm, looking nervous: "There's a lot of blood on your back, let's go to the hospital!"

The two left Ming's house and went straight to the hospital.

On the way, Tang Zheng asked uncertainly: "Do you think this is just an accident?"

Xiao Beiqi's face was terribly gloomy: "I will kill him."

So, this was either an accident or someone planned it.

Tang Zheng blamed himself a little: "I'm sorry, if I hadn't arranged to watch the fireworks, you might not have been hurt."

Xiao Beiqi held Tang Zheng's hand: "It's not your fault. It's my fault that you were frightened."

Tang Zheng shook his head and felt very uncomfortable when he saw the clothes on Xiao Beiqi's back stained with blood.

At the hospital, the doctor treated Xiao Beiqi's wound, applied medicine, and then returned to the villa.

Tang Zheng suddenly remembered something: "Why haven't I seen Leng Mo recently?"

Xiao Beiqi lay on the bed, his voice hoarse: "I forgot to tell you that he is taking over the Ming family's business."

Tang Zheng was a little surprised: "Him?"

Xiao Beiqi nodded: "In fact, he is also from the Ming family."

Xiao Beiqi agreed to be the heir of the Ming family simply to protect Leng Mo and pave the way for Leng Mo. Once Leng Mo has gained a firm foothold, he can return to the army.

Tang Zheng didn't understand: "Then what good will it do you to go through all this trouble?"

"First, I want to find out the cause of my grandfather's death..."

Tang Zheng thought that it had been decades since the incident, and perhaps the person who framed his grandfather had long been dead, so why bother investigating it?

Xiao Beiqi seemed to sense Tang Zheng's inner doubts: "Actually, there is one thing I didn't tell you."

Tang Zheng looked confused.

"Everyone thought my grandfather was out doing business and had an accident, but he was actually a party member."

Tang Zheng suddenly realized that it was a time of war and chaos, and Xiao Beiqi's grandfather was of that status, so it must have been full of dangers.

"Last time, the batch of weapons found in the lake of Magic City Park, after investigation, were exactly the military weapons that my grandfather had raised for the army."

Tang Zheng was shocked: "Didn't your grandfather die at sea? How did those things appear in the lake of Magic City?"

Xiao Beiqi: "We are investigating, but there are few clues."
