Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Make Way

After Lin Ruoxi finished the call, Yang Chen walked up and asked, "Did someone die in the company? Why so serious?"

"You're the one who's dead!" Lin Ruoxi snorted. "Can't you say something nice?"

"Then why do you look so serious?" Yang Chen asked.

Lin Ruoxi pondered for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Ning. Tomorrow, I need to meet with representatives from Zhonghai and the Chamber of Commerce. Wu Yue notified me that I need to attend the meeting."

"Prime Minister Ning?" Yang Chen thought carefully. It had been a year since he returned to Yan Xia, and he often watched the news. He immediately thought of the current Prime Minister of Yan Xia and asked, "You mean Ning Guangyao?"

Lin Ruoxi nodded. "Who else could it be?"

Ning Guangyao was currently the head of the court in Yan Xia, as well as the second most powerful figure in Yan Xia, after the emperor. He was also the youngest prime minister in Yan Xia's history, having ascended to the throne before he was fifty years old. Known for his handsome appearance and decisive actions, he was very popular and could be considered an idol-level national leader.

Yang Chen sighed, "I never thought that even the second most powerful figure in Yan Xia would have to meet you. Ruoxi, it seems like your position in the Zhonghai business community is becoming prominent."

Lin Ruoxi gave him a disdainful look. "I didn't expect to be singled out either. It might be because of the significant actions we took at Jade Lily this year. But it's not just me; Yuan Hewei, the head of the Yuan family whom you know, will also attend, along with Secretary Fang Zhongping and several other company chairmen, probably around twenty people."

Yang Chen chuckled, "That's a good thing. Why do you look so troubled?"

Lin Ruoxi struggled slightly on her cold face and said, "I'm troubled because Wu Yue said I have to bring two representatives from our company besides myself. So I was just thinking about who to bring. Now I've decided—I'll take you and Qianni."

Yang Chen's expression froze. Bring Mo Qianni along with him? What kind of game was this woman playing?!

"Wouldn't that be a bit awkward?" Yang Chen didn't want to say too much, knowing full well that Lin Ruoxi's best friend had an affair with her husband. Wasn't she deliberately putting him in a difficult position?

Lin Ruoxi seemed to be waiting for Yang Chen's expression. She sneered coldly, "I've already decided. What you do is your own business. You're the branch director, and Qianni is the vice president. There's nothing inappropriate about bringing you both. If you mess things up due to personal reasons, you'll have to deal with it yourself."

This was clearly a threat and a way to force Yang Chen to show where his loyalty lay, if not to cut ties with whom.

Here is the translation of the provided Chinese text:

"You can't just not go, because this is a legitimate public duty. If you upset your legitimate wife due to personal feelings, you won't get away with it either.

Now it's Yang Chen's turn to worry. How will he manage to deal with these two women, Mo Qianyi and Lin Ruoxi, when he sees them tomorrow? Should he call Mo Qianyi and tell her not to come? No, that's not possible. That woman is not easy to deal with. Once she knows the reason, she will definitely openly challenge Lin Ruoxi.

Oh dear, why are there only 'heroines' around me? Yang Chen thought gloomily.

Meanwhile, in the Cai family's defense zone compound, Yang Lie, who had been critically injured and was undergoing continuous examinations without daring to treat his injuries privately, remained unconscious in bed.

"Sister, what method?!" Yang Pojun immediately perked up, and even Cai Yuncheng and his daughter by the door looked over curiously.

Yun Miao Shi Tai continued, "Master and I have carefully considered. Since Lie's injuries were caused by a master of high-level internal energy, it naturally requires someone of similar level to heal him. However, the person who injured him is already a grandmaster of the innate realm. From what I know, such individuals in all of Yanxia are rare and reclusive, not easily found, if they can be found at all."

"Even if they can't be found, we have to find them! Lie must recover!" Yang Pojun gritted his teeth.

"There's actually another method," Yu Ji Zi hesitated for a moment before speaking. "In fact, we could try to have the young man who injured Lie use his internal energy to heal him. It's a profound technique that can have remarkable healing effects. If he agrees, there's an eighty percent chance that Lie could fully recover. Other masters, even if we find them, may not be able to restore Lie's entire skill set."

Yang Pojun was suddenly shocked. "What?! You want to find the person who injured Lie to treat him again?!"

"Yes, from what I understand, Lie actually has no major grievances with that person. It may have been a misunderstanding that led to this. So if we sincerely request him, perhaps..." Yu Ji Zi's implication was clear: that person could be Yang Lie's salvation. However, asking him to come, without compromising one's dignity, was impossible. This task couldn't be entrusted to anyone else, even Yu Ji Zi, the master. Moreover, with Yang Lie's parents present, Yu Ji Zi's actions would be inappropriate.

Yang Pojun frowned deeply. Though he wanted Yang Lie to recover, swallowing his pride to plead with someone else was a difficult pill to swallow.

"I'll go!" Guo Xuehua suddenly exclaimed. "I'll go plead with that person. Master, tell me quickly, where can I find the young man who injured Lie? What's his name?"

Everyone looked at Guo Xuehua, her resolve evident despite her tear-streaked face. The maternal determination resonated deeply with them—all families were alike in this regard. Even knowing the potential for ridicule and her high status, Guo Xuehua's decision was nothing short of remarkable.

Seeing Guo Xuehua's determination, Yu Ji Zi ignored Yang Pojun's solemn expression and gave Guo Xuehua Yang Chen's address.

"Madam Yang, the young man's name is Yang Chen. He has some connection with our Shu Mountain. You can say that I also hope he can help. Please forgive me for not intervening directly. I hope you succeed," Yun Miao said.

"Yang Chen," Guo Xuehua quietly repeated, nodding to indicate she remembered. "Thank you, Master."

Unbeknownst to them, upon hearing this name, Yang Pojun's forehead turned cold as he suddenly realized something!

Seeing Guo Xuehua about to leave with two guards, Yang Pojun hesitated, but ultimately followed her out immediately.

"Xuehua, you can't go!" Yang Pojun shouted, blocking Guo Xuehua in the corridor.

Guo Xuehua's eyes reddened, whispering, "Move aside, I must save our son."

"You're the wife of a general, our Yang family's daughter-in-law, and the future Vice Chairman's wife. How can you lower yourself to plead with a martial artist, a young man?! What kind of image is this?!" Yang Pojun scolded loudly.

Guo Xuehua smiled bitterly, "Is it your status, your pride, and your arrogance again, Yang Pojun? I've had enough. Over twenty years ago, because of all these messy things of yours, I lost one son. Isn't our only remaining son more important than a bit of face? Do you want me to lose a second son?"

"Stop it!" It was as if he had struck a chord that struck heard

"Is this some sort of retribution for a mother to plead with her son?" Yang Pojun pondered, feeling increasingly bewildered by the situation. If Yang Chen truly was the one, how could his martial arts be so formidable? Was he really as exceptional as Yang Jieyu had described, growing up in such an outstanding manner?

Narrowing his eyes, Yang Pojun temporarily set aside Yang Lie's injuries. He felt it was time to carefully investigate Yang Chen's background and circumstances.
