Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 298

Since both he and his son had been humiliated so thoroughly by Chu Feng, Tang Li naturally took it to heart.

He said sarcastically, "He's just a retired soldier from the Western Theater without the least bit of contribution and no official position. Just by curing Dad's illness, he thinks he has the power to have a say in the Tang family. Who does he think he is? He even declared that he'd get a few large bottles of Xi Feng Liquor for Dad. What a joke! Did he think he was some kind of big shot? If he really managed to get just one bottle- no, even if it were just a drop of the liquor, I'll eat my shoe!"

"Li, you're going a little overboard. After all, Chu Feng is the benefactor of the Tang family."

Tang Feng's expression was grim. Although Tang Sisi was angry, what Tang Li said sounded plausible, too. Chu Feng was just an ordinary person, after all. In the face of the Fang family's persistent marriage offer, he alone was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

Tang Weiguo also sighed weakly as he gazed at his precious daughter with guilt.

If he were twenty years younger, he would have willingly given up his life fighting against the Fang family's arrangement. But now that he was old, he had his concerns and responsibilities. There were more than a hundred people in the Tang family, and they were dampening his righteous zeal and fervor.

Ring, ring!

At that moment, a sudden and urgent ringtone sounded. Tang Weiguo's expression turned solemn. He quickly took out the phone he was carrying with him and stood up with a sigh.

The faces of his family members around him also became extremely somber.

The phone was a special device for the military as it allowed direct contact with senior generals. It was generally used for military orders and the like. The phone does not leave Tang Weiguo's person, and he would have to be ready to receive instructions at any time of the day.

The last time the phone rang was ten years ago, when a war occurred in Jiangbei.

Could it be that another war has begun?

Tang Weiguo did not dare to appear negligent, so he quickly answered the call and said in a deep tone, "This is Tang Weiguo. I am ready if the headquarters has any instructions for me."

Soon, a man's steady voice responded, "Please, there's no need to be nervous. The world remains peaceful and prosperous, and there are no wars. This call was just to reach out to you as soon as possible."

Tang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he asked suspiciously, "In that case, who am I speaking to?"

Xi Feng Liquor was the Western Theater's expedition liquor. Although it was a favorite of the military bigwigs, it was not commonly given out. Therefore, it was regarded as a treasure.

Even someone like the head of the Fang family, who was a top-position official and had so much commanding power, only received a bottle or two of the Xi Feng Liquor a year as part of the Western Theater's show of goodwill.

And Tang Weiguo, regardless of seniority, military merit, or fame, was far from the Fang family head. But the Western Theater had just given him three hundred catties just like that.

The price of the Xi Feng Liquor was so inflated that it was valued at nearly a million yuan a bottle on the black market. Three hundred catties of it would imply the gift was worth at least several billion yuan!

Of course, the Tang family did not lack money. However, Tang Weiguo was intimidated and astounded by the power of the person who gave him the liquor. He had managed to approve the gift of three hundred catties of Xi Feng Liquor so easily. W-who was he exactly?

"D-Dad, I-I think Chu Feng seemed to have said that just now. Y-yes. It seemed that he said he wanted to give you a couple of jars of Xi Feng Liquor," Tang Sisi said blankly. She was still stunned.

"It must be a coincidence! A mere coincidence!"
