Tu Yuan had seen Tang Hongyong angry before.

But this was the first time he had ever seen Tang Hongyong so angry.

But if you put yourself in their shoes, anyone would be worried if their child showed signs of becoming a gambler.

They might even have the urge to hang someone from the roof beam and whip them.

However, Tang Hongyong's words seemed to have touched a nerve with Tang Zhengjiang.

Tang Zhengjiang's face also turned somewhat ferocious.

"Am I a piece of trash?! You're always there to support Tu Yuan whenever he needs money!"

"I'm your son! You won't even lend me money!"

"I already told you I would pay you back, why don't you believe me?!"

"Are you even my dad?!"

When Tang Hongyong heard Tang Zhengjiang's words, disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The anger on his face began to subside, replaced by deep disappointment.

He never expected Tang Zhengjiang to say such a thing.

"Zhengjiang!! How dare you talk to your father like that?!"

"And another thing! We're not giving you money because you never intended to use it for anything worthwhile!"

"Don't you know the saying 'nine out of ten gamblers lose'? Is a gambling table a place where you can make money?"

"What happened to you?! You're such a disappointment!"

Wang Shuli's eyes reddened as she looked at her son standing at the corner of the stairwell.

For the first time, she felt that her son was such a stranger.

"What do I look like now?! I've always looked like this!"

"I've let you down. You never had any expectations of me, did you?!"

"From childhood to adulthood, how many times have you ever said a good word about me?!"

Tang Zhengjiang's face was contorted with rage.

Tu Yuan then looked at Tang Zhengjiang and said:

"Brother! Say less! We're all family!"

After speaking, Tu Yuan looked at Tang Hongyong and Wang Shuli.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, please don't be angry. Let's talk things out."

As soon as Tu Yuan finished speaking, Tang Zhengjiang, who had completely lost control of his emotions, roared at him.

"Tu Yuan! Stop pretending to be a good guy!"

"What? Wearing a police uniform makes you think you're so cool?!"

"You really think you can make a name for yourself just by working in the police station?!"

"Pah!"

"A guy like you, with no money and no connections, even if you were paid by the federal government, you'd still be stuck at the bottom of the federal government for life!"

"A lousy probationary officer, who knows when he'll even get promoted? Does he really think he's someone important?!"

"Fine, if you won't give me money, I don't care! Even if you beg me to come back, I won't!"

After Tang Zhengjiang finished speaking angrily, he turned around and strode downstairs.

Tang Zhengjiang disappeared in an instant.

Tu Yuan remained relatively calm.

He knew very well that a person could say anything when they were emotionally out of control.

Many deeply hurtful words are uttered in this emotional state.

Moreover, although what Tang Zhengjiang said was harsh, it was indeed true to some extent.

I'm afraid it's not just Tang Zhengjiang who thinks this way; most people would think the same way because they all have this kind of habitual way of thinking.

This kind of mental inertia is often caused by a large number of real-life cases.

Even Tu Yuan himself knew that without the Heavenly Coins, his chances of advancing in the Federal Government were extremely slim.

However, gambling has a huge impact on a person.

His cousin, Tang Zhengjiang, is six years older than him. Although his academic performance was average since childhood and he entered the workforce early, he is quite reliable in his conduct and work.

This person is not only hardworking but also able to endure hardship.

He opened a restaurant with his own hands, and business is usually quite good.

After marrying his cousin's wife, they had two sons.

It can be said that life is getting better and better.

Everything changed after I got involved in gambling.

Where is the hardworking and sunny person Tang Zhengjiang used to be?

The current Tang Zhengjiang is ferocious, violent, and ruthless, showing no regard for even his own family.

Compared to Tu Yuan's composure.

Tang Hongyong and Wang Shuli looked much more sorrowful.

Wang Shuli even couldn't help but sob.

Tang Hongyong also looked tired and haggard, as if he had aged several years.

Tang Hongyong patted Wang Shuli on the shoulder, then looked at Tu Yuan:

"Tu Yuan! Don't take that bastard's words to heart!"

"He's obsessed with gambling now, he's beyond saving."

"Sigh~~"

Tang Hongyong's sigh was filled with disappointment and helplessness.

He must also feel helpless about Tang Zhengjiang's current situation.

After this incident...

Tu Yuan couldn't stay at his second uncle's house any longer.

After sitting inside for a while and offering a few words of comfort, I took the opportunity to say goodbye and leave.

I ran all the way home.

Tu Yuan put Tang Zhengjiang's matter out of his mind.

There's nothing he can do to help with this right now.

He was a trainee police officer and had no authority to enforce the law independently. Even if he wanted to use the pretext of participating in illegal gambling to bring Tang Zhengjiang back, he couldn't do it.

Even if it were possible, it would only be a temporary solution, not a permanent one.

Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient strength and limited power.

If you have the strength and power, you can just say something.

That way, those archways would keep Tang Zhengjiang out.

Once Tang Zhengjiang gets into a gambling addiction, no one dares to gamble with him.

Back home, Huru gracefully strode into the house from outside the window.

You can still see gray cat fur around its mouth as it purrs.

It's like a general returning in triumph after winning a battle.

Upon seeing this scene, Tu Yuan knew that Huru had run out of the window again to bully the gray cat downstairs next door.

The gray cat used to climb into the house through the window, not only eating the cat food in the purring bowl, but also urinating next to the coffee table leg.

Huru was sleeping in the cat bed in the room at the time and was not noticed immediately.

That's how Huru and the gray cat started their feud.

Later on, Huru would climb out of the window and beat up the gray cat whenever he had a chance.

It often came back with the gray cat's fur on its paws and around its mouth.

Tu Yuan was already used to this.

Anyway, his house is on the second floor, so there's no need to worry about him falling and getting hurt after he climbs out the window.

He focused his attention on his mind.

"Celestial Coins! Show me your current cultivation progress!"

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 67/100]

Before leaving home in the morning, Tu Yuan cultivated for an hour as usual.

The progress has increased by two points.

Tu Yuan guessed that the effects of the potion had not completely dissipated, which was why he was able to gain two points of progress in just one hour of cultivation.

There is one dose of Azure Dragon No. 9 medicine left.

After warming up, Tu Yuan took out the vial.

Then, following yesterday's method, I began practicing the body-strengthening technique.

Only when his muscles were sore and aching did Tu Yuan drink the medicine.

Heat gradually rose from Tu Yuan's body.

Just as Tu Yuan was diligently cultivating and absorbing the effects of the potion...

Guhe Community Wax Plum Garden.

A man dressed mainly in gray and black, wearing a black mask, walked confidently to apartment 201 in building 7.

Then he took out his key and opened the door.

After entering the house, the man closed the door behind him before taking off his mask.

This person is Zhang Tao, the director of Zhenghe Police Station where Tu Yuan works.

Zhang Tao has a square face, thick, neat eyebrows, and bright, sparkling eyes.

As soon as he took off his mask, Black Ball excitedly ran and jumped from the living room to Zhang Tao's side, its forelimbs constantly tugging at Zhang Tao's trouser legs.

Upon seeing the black ball, Zhang Tao's eyes widened in surprise, before a smile spread across his face.

"Xiao He, the black ball has been found? When was it found?!"
