The person who set his sights on Wang Hao was named Tao Ma Tong, the cousin of Tao Xuan.
When Tao Xuan suddenly died, the happiest person wasn't Wang Hao, but rather Tao Ma Tong himself.
Originally, the old man had planned to let Tao Xuan take over the family business. Now that he had died so inexplicably, the position of successor had been left vacant.
Upon hearing the news of his cousin's sudden death, Tao Ma Tong, lying in his bed, was thrilled all night.
However, if he wanted to take Tao Xuan's place, there was still a long way to go. There were thirteen direct relatives like him in the entire Tao family, not to mention a few uncles and great-uncles who had illegitimate children outside.
Therefore, he had to do something earth-shattering, something that would make the old man look at him with fresh eyes.
Now, what could be more pleasing to the old man than killing Wang Hao to avenge his cousin's death?
