In the afternoon, a sudden downpour descended upon Cangyun City. Under the gloomy sky, few pedestrians ventured out, only the howling wind remained.
In the chairman's office at Yuyang Sales Company.
"I've already told you, please stop pestering !"
Zhou Yufei was both astonished and furious when the group barged in. Filled with vigilance, she tried to keep her distance as she spoke with a hostile tone.
Who else could it be but Prince Zuo Fan?
Tu Su could wait, but he could not. Since he couldn't defeat Chen Yang, the man who had annihilated his Zuo Family, he had to start with the people close to him.
And Zhou Yufei naturally beca Zuo Fan's first target.
With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Zuo Fan casually pulled a chair over and sat down. He waited a long mont before finally speaking, his voice icy. "In this Cangyun City, for any woman to catch my eye, Zuo Fan's eye, is a blessing from a past life."
"And you, your looks and figure are quite outstanding, so I showed you so patience. But not only were you ungrateful, you even sent soone to attack my Zuo Family?"
Although Zhou Yufei had nothing to do with the annihilation of the Zuo Family, Zuo Fan couldn't be bothered with such details. He simply didn't care.
All he wanted was revenge.
"The entire Zuo Family… completely wiped out, heh…" A hideous laugh escaped Zuo Fan. "Can you even believe it?"
"So…" Zuo Fan's bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhou Yufei, his expression sinister. "Chen Yang destroyed my entire family, so how could I let him off easy? And you… you must be very important to him, right?"
Hmm?!
Zhou Yufei's pupils shrank. A chill ran down her spine as she finally understood Prince Zuo Fan's true intentions for coming here. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid, but…
"I think you're mistaken," Zhou Yufei said, taking a deep breath to force herself to remain calm. "Chen Yang and I are just friends. In his eyes, I don't hold any importance."
This was the truth, or at least, what she believed to be the truth.
"Do you think I'm that easy to fool?" Zuo Fan gave a mirthless smile. "Let tell you the truth. Chen Yang wiped out my family, so I won't let a single person close to him get away."
"I'm going to let him know what true despair feels like!"
Zuo Fan even found himself wondering if he should call so friends to join in.
At that thought, Zhou Yufei, who was already worried sick about Chen Yang, felt her face turn deathly pale.
"Scared? The real show hasn't even started yet, haha…"
Zuo Fan stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and commanded with a wave of his hand, "Take this bitch away!"
"Yes, sir!" his subordinates answered in unison. They strode forward, seized Zhou Yufei in a few swift movents, and began dragging her out.
By then, the entire company had descended into chaos from the intrusion.
Only Sun Xiaoli and two other girls ran toward the chairman's office the mont they heard the news.
"Chairman!" Sun Xiaoli shrieked, witnessing Zhou Yufei being dragged out. "What are you doing? Is there no law anymore?"
SMACK.
The middle-aged man leading the group backhanded Sun Xiaoli, sending her crashing against the wall. The blow split her skin, and blood began to flow freely.
The other two girls were imdiately frozen with fear, not daring to make a sound.
"The law?" Hearing her words, Zuo Fan bared his teeth in a wide grin. Trying to talk to him, Zuo Fan, about the law? Wasn't that hilarious?
"Quick! Call Brother Chen Yang!" Sun Xiaoli shouted to her two companions as she struggled back to her feet, long after the group had departed.
「」
After finishing his chat with Xia Chu, Chen Yang pulled the two Ancestral Swords out from under his seat.
A secret?
He had already spent so ti studying these two Ancestral Swords. Other than being a little sharp, they were completely unremarkable compared to the Traveling Dragon Sword, whether in terms of grade or any other aspect. Besides, Chen Shangwu had never ntioned anything special about them.
What exactly is the secret?
Chen Yang fiddled with them for a while, his brows knitted tightly together. He had no clue.
"Boss, why don't you try dripping so blood on them?" Yang Hu suggested with a toothy grin. "I rember seeing that in a lot of TV shows."
Chen Yang rolled his eyes. If a drop of blood was all it took, the Chen Family would have uncovered the swords' secrets long ago during the many years they'd been in their possession. Would he still be here, fumbling around in the dark?
"Heh heh!" Yang Hu scratched his head and gave a foolish laugh. "Well, it has to depend on whose blood it is!"
Chen Yang simply ignored him.
The swords didn't have the cold feel of iron. Instead, they felt warm, like jade. The hilts were carved with images of flowers, grass, birds, and beasts, as well as so extrely intricate talismans.
Unfortunately, Chen Yang couldn't decipher any of them.
The comrcial van had already entered the limits of Cangyun City, but Chen Yang still couldn't figure anything out. He decided to put the Ancestral Swords away and planned to ask Chen Shangwu about them again, hoping for so insight.
RING. RING.
Just as Chen Yang was about to tell Yang Hu to head to the Chen Family estate, his phone rang.
Seeing it was a call from Sun Xiaoli, Chen Yang frowned slightly. A bad premonition surged through him. As expected, after listening to her story, his face darkened instantly.
"Do you know where they went?" he asked finally.
"No, I don't know."
"Don't worry. I'll handle it."
After hanging up, Chen Yang dialed Su Yan's number.
"Boss, what happened?" Yang Hu asked.
"Zuo Fan took Zhou Yufei," Chen Yang said, his eyes turning cold. "If I'm not mistaken, that spoiled brat is trying to get back at this way."
Yang Hu slamd his palm on the steering wheel, his face ferocious. "That bastard! If he dares to lay a hand on Miss Zhou, I'll tear him apart with my bare hands!"
When Su Yan answered, Chen Yang got straight to the point. "Old Sir, can you help find Zuo Fan's whereabouts? It's extrely urgent."
Su Yan didn't ask any questions and hung up imdiately.
Right now, Chen Yang couldn't use any of the Martial Departnt's resources. Although Su Yan had been sidelined, he still had so connections. Finding one person's location should be no trouble for him.
Less than ten minutes later, Su Yan replied: the Qingyuan River Estate.
Chen Yang expressed his thanks and was about to hang up when Su Yan added, "People from the Imperial Clan are staying at the Qingyuan River Estate."
"Got it."
Putting his phone away, Chen Yang instructed Yang Hu, "Go to the Qingyuan River Estate."
"It's been a while since I had a good fight," Yang Hu said with a ferocious grin.
Today will be more than just a fight. I won't rest until Zuo Fan is dead. The Imperial Clan or anyone else—whoever dares to stand in my way will be killed without rcy!
The rain poured down in torrents as a comrcial van sped through the gloomy streets.
A few kiloters away, at the Qingyuan River Estate, Zuo Fan was enjoying drinks and cigarettes with several key mbers of the Imperial Clan. Every so often, he would glance over at Zhou Yufei, who had been thrown onto a sofa, and burst into triumphant laughter.
