Heh, heh.
The crowd burst into laughter.
To barge into the Qin Family, drag soone away, and now, in the face of their pursuit, completely ignore them?
One had to admit, their opponent was outrageously arrogant.
If they didn't show so muscle today, did he really think they, and the entire Qin Royal Family, were pushovers?
"Get them!"
With a wave of the middle-aged man's hand, the others imdiately sward the comrcial van.
"Scram."
A single word floated out from within the vehicle.
But that one word landed like a clap of thunder, carrying with it a howling, ferocious gale.
BOOM!
The middle-aged man, who had been arrogantly barking orders with a savage look on his face, was struck as if by a large truck. His entire body was launched into the air, and he slamd violently against the rear door of his own car.
The impact was so great that the entire car flipped over, crashing heavily onto the ground with a loud CLANK!
Luo Sulan: "..."
The crowd: "..."
The n who had been about to surround the van were especially dumbfounded. Every last one of them froze, their eyes wide with nothing but sheer terror and disbelief.
None of them was weaker than tenth-rank, and their leader had beco the leader precisely because his strength was a cut above the rest.
And yet...
Was he just swatting a fly? You don't swat flies like that!
Most importantly, they hadn't even seen who had made the move, what they looked like, or how old they were.
Gulp.
They swallowed hard, rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch.
SCREECH!
The comrcial van slowly pulled away.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Luo Sulan, half her face swollen and her body covered in blood, scrambled to her feet and chased after it, yelling, "Don't go! I'm not on board yet!"
Things had co to this; returning to the Qin Royal Family was impossible. Besides Chen Yang and Qin Qiu, who else could she rely on?
However, Chen Yang's van showed no sign of stopping.
"Stop! I was wrong, isn't that enough?!"
Luo Sulan scread with all her might. She kept tripping over her own feet, falling until her head was bleeding, her eyes red with a mixture of rage and regret.
She never could have imagined that the Qin Family, who had treated her so well, was just using her.
Luo Sulan's legs felt like they were about to break, and her hands and knees were scraped raw. Seeing the van about to disappear from view, she collapsed onto the ground.
"I really know I was wrong! Please, just give one more chance!"
Luo Sulan wept bitterly. Without the support of Chen Yang and Qin Qiu, she had nothing.
Finally, the van behind them received instructions. It stopped in front of Luo Sulan, allowing her to climb aboard.
「...」
Not far away, Qin Zhuo rushed to the scene.
When he saw the overturned car and the middle-aged man on the brink of death, Qin Zhuo's pupils shrank. The rage that had been boiling inside him was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water, extinguishing most of it in an instant.
He took a deep breath and asked in a heavy voice, "Did you get a clear look at who it was?"
The n, still shaken, all shook their heads.
They hadn't seen the person, let alone how he had attacked.
After hearing their account, Qin Zhuo knew their opponent was a top-tier master. His face soured with irritation. "Go and find their whereabouts imdiately. Don't alert them. I'll send people to handle this."
With that said, Qin Zhuo dialed Qin Lie's number.
「Back at ho.」
Yang showed them to their rooms upstairs.
Chen Yang rummaged through the refrigerator, preparing to cook them a sumptuous dinner.
Luo Sulan walked in. The mont she saw Chen Yang, her anger exploded. She charged straight at him, rebuking furiously with a twisted expression, "You, Chen Yang! How dare you leave on the road? You've got so nerve!"
"Look at ! Look what I've beco, you heartless wretch!"
Luo Sulan was covered in blood, her clothes were tattered, and she was truly in a sorry state.
But this was all her own doing.
"Are you pretending not to hear ? I..."
Before Luo Sulan could say more, Chen Yang grabbed her by the neck, lifted her off her feet, and slamd her against the refrigerator. He narrowed his eyes, his voice icy. "From now on, if you ever dare to use Qin Qiu and Qin Mo to curry favor with the powerful again, I will kill you."
"This is your last warning."
With that, Chen Yang released his grip, letting Luo Sulan drop freely to the floor.
THUD.
Luo Sulan collapsed, her face turning a purplish blue from the lack of air.
She had been about to throw a tantrum, but when her eyes t Chen Yang's glacial gaze, a shiver ran through her entire body. It felt as if her very blood was about to freeze.
The words on the tip of her tongue were forcefully swallowed.
She could clearly feel it: a bone-chilling killing intent.
Only then did Chen Yang withdraw his gaze, pick up the groceries, and walk into the kitchen.
Trembling, Luo Sulan pushed herself up and sat on a nearby sofa, her head bowed in silence.
By now, she understood. Qin Song, who had gone missing, must have been killed by Chen Yang.
This man...
Or more precisely, this son-in-law, had such a terrifying murderous aura.
Qin Qiu, who was on the second floor, glimpsed the scene but said nothing. Her mother had indeed gone too far.
「After dinner.」
Chen Yang and Qin Gang sat drinking tea in the courtyard.
Qin Gang glanced in the direction of the Lingjin River and asked, "Those warships on the river... they're yours, right?"
"That's right."
Chen Yang nodded with a faint smile. "Those guys have been cooped up in the damp rainforest for so long, they're probably going stir-crazy. It's good for them to get out, take a stroll down Qiyun Road, and experience a different way of life."
He said it casually, almost dismissively.
But Qin Gang knew these n had co to Qiyun Road entirely for his sake.
To be precise, these Hanyun Valley Martial Guards were here to back him up.
So the Qin Royal Family looks down on ? They think I'm a failure in the Martial Departnt who brings sha to the Qin Family? Even when I knelt and begged, they refused to take back. Not only that, they even ruthlessly killed Qin Feng for trying to help . Yes! I, Qin Gang, may not be very capable, but I have a grandson-in-law who is the Nine Gates Admiral, the Zhennan Prince! You think the Qin Royal Family is so powerful? So arrogant? Now, one hundred thousand Martial Guards are at the city's gates, ard and ready for battle. When they draw their blades, I hope the Qin Royal Family doesn't cower. I hope you'll dare to face them! I, Qin Gang, am looking forward to it!
At this thought, Qin Gang's face flushed red and his chest heaved violently, his excitent beyond words.
He had suffered so much injustice and humiliation recently.
If he couldn't vent this frustration, he would never be able to rest in peace.
"Chen Yang... thank you," Qin Gang's lips trembled. A torrent of emotions swirled within him, and this was all he could manage to say.
Countless feelings were distilled into those two simple words.
"Elder, there's no need for such words between us," Chen Yang said with a smile. "If we're really keeping score, if you hadn't taken that bullet for , I wouldn't be here today. There would be no Nine Gates Admiral, no Zhennan Prince."
"By the way, have you found out who shot from the shadows?" Qin Gang changed the subject, his tone becoming serious.
Chen Yang first shook his head, then nodded. "It should be soon."
"You have a lead?"
Chen Yang simply smiled without answering.
Nothing that happens can be completely erased. If you are determined enough to investigate, the truth will always co to light eventually.
