Chapter 3965: The Tiger Father Has No Sons

Yuan Kong and I were lying on the roof, monitoring every move below. Just as the two sides were about to make a move, Tang Shangning's son, Tang Ziyuan, suddenly stepped forward and started befriending Liu Hao.

Seeing this scene, I felt like my head was about to explode. Liu Hao has now gone completely mad and has no regard for his own family. To befriend him is like asking a tiger for its skin, a sure way to commit suicide.

When Liu Hao saw Tang Ziyuan, his eyes lit up. I reckon that a large part of the reason Liu Hao ordered his men to besiege Qianyuan Temple was because Tang Ziyuan was there.

Tang Ziyuan is Tang Shangning's own son. If he were to fall into Tang Shangning's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Hao could even use Tang Ziyuan as leverage to threaten Tang Shangning into doing something that would betray the Special Investigation Team; any of this is possible.

For a moment, I clenched my fists in nervousness, wishing I could go down and stop Tang Ziyuan right now.

When Liu Hao beckoned Tang Ziyuan over, Tang Ziyuan actually walked over to Liu Hao with a grin.

However, at this moment, the man in the white Zhongshan suit suddenly grabbed Tang Ziyuan's arm: "Ziyuan, you can't go over there. Liu Hao is now the Xuanwu Elder of the First Pass, and he is no longer the same person he was back then."

"Teacher Qin, Brother Hao is a really good person. He must have his own reasons for doing this. He was a very nice person to me when we were kids, so he can't be a bad person," Tang Ziyuan said innocently.

When I heard Tang Ziyuan say that, my mind went completely blank. How could Tang Shangning, that old fox, have such a naive son? Something's not right.

"Yes, yes, Ziyuan, come here quickly. Don't listen to their nonsense and try to sow discord between us brothers." Liu Hao smiled at Tang Ziyuan, a smile that clearly revealed a treacherous nature.

"Ziyuan, are you crazy? If you go over there, he will kill you." The man in the white Zhongshan suit grabbed Tang Ziyuan's arm tightly, preventing him from going over.

Tang Ziyuan turned to look at Liu Hao again and said excitedly, "Brother Hao, we used to play together in the compound when we were kids. Some people bullied me, and you even helped me fight them off. But when I went to middle school, you rarely came home anymore. I haven't seen you for many years."

“Yeah, Zimo, come here, let’s have a good chat and catch up.” Liu Hao waved to Tang Ziyuan.

"Brother Hao, I heard that you went to the Taoist Academy and then joined the Special Investigation Team. How come you're with the people from Yiguandao now? How could someone as good as you be with these evil cultists?" Tang Ziyuan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hao's expression changed, and he didn't know how to respond. He could only sigh and say, "Ziyuan, I also have my own unavoidable difficulties that I can't tell outsiders. Come here first, and I'll tell you secretly."

"Brother Hao, I understand you. You must be an undercover agent in our special investigation team, right? I heard my dad say before that we have an inside man in Yiguandao. As the most talented person in the Taoist Academy back then, only you can shoulder such a great responsibility, endure hardship and turn the tide. You must have paid a lot to be able to enter Yiguandao. Others may not understand you, but I definitely do. I knew you were not a bad person!" Tang Ziyuan said seriously and very excitedly.

As soon as he said this, I noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. The people from the First Pass Dao around Liu Hao were looking at him strangely. Even Elder Baihu subconsciously moved away from Liu Hao and pointed his magical weapon at him.

Looking at Liu Hao again, his face was flushed. His joining Yiguandao was a betrayal of the Special Investigation Team, and as a traitor, he would not be welcomed anywhere. Even though he had done many bad things, the people of Yiguandao would inevitably be wary of him.

Tang Ziming's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making the people of Yiguandao wary of Liu Hao once again.

The key issue is that Liu Hao has no way to explain himself right now; it seems like no matter what he says, it doesn't make sense. Meanwhile, Tang Zimo speaks with utmost sincerity, as if Liu Hao really is an undercover agent for the Special Investigation Team.

Tang Ziming said excitedly again, "Brother Hao, you've worked so hard all these years. You've always been my idol. It was because you entered the Taoist Academy that I followed you here. I want to be like Brother Hao, willing to sacrifice everything to achieve my goals. I admire you so much for your selflessness."

As soon as he said this, everyone on the pass looked at Liu Hao, their wariness reaching its peak.

"Liu Hao, is what he said true? I was saying that every time we conduct an operation at Yiguandao, the Special Investigation Team manages to detect it in advance. Was it you who tipped us off? You've participated in every core activity." Elder Baihu suddenly said.

"Elder Baihu, how could you do this... I have been loyal to Yiguandao and have killed so many members of the Special Investigation Team. You saw it all. How could I possibly be a spy for the Special Investigation Team?" Liu Hao quickly defended himself.

"Brother Hao, please come back. I really can't bear to see you suffer in Yiguandao anymore. After you come back, you will still be my good brother. The Special Investigation Team will also reinstate you to your original position. You have given too much to the Special Investigation Team. It's time for you to come back," Tang Ziming said again.

"Shut up!" Liu Hao roared, raising his magical weapon and pointing it at Tang Ziming.

Seeing this, my heart finally calmed down.

As the saying goes, "Like father, like son," and Tang Shangning, that old fox, must have fathered a son who is no less capable. So, Tang Ziming is just trying to sow discord here.

These words immediately raised serious doubts among the people of Guandao about Liu Hao's identity.

Liu Hao is now in a difficult position. He thought he could trick Tang Ziming into coming to his side, but he didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by this young upstart.

"Brother Wu, Tang Ziming is amazing! He's so clever. This divisive tactic has even made Guan Dao question Liu Hao's identity." Yuan Kong rarely praises people, but seeing Tang Ziming's performance this time, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

This young man was also a sixth-ranking official; he effortlessly put Liu Hao in such an awkward situation.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong? Don't stay there, come back quickly. The Special Investigation Team is your real home. I heard from my dad that Uncle Liu was killed by the Yi Guan Dao people. The reason you joined Yi Guan Dao is to completely wipe them out so as to avenge Uncle Liu. Don't worry, Uncle Liu is a great hero. The Special Investigation Team has seen everything he has done. Revenge is not something you can accomplish alone. We all have a responsibility. Come back. I really can't stand seeing you associate with these evil cultists!" Tang Ziming kept persuading Liu Hao, showing such sincerity.
