Chapter 621: Chapter 624: Security

In the early morning, Yan Capital still lay dormant like a slumbering lion. Under the gray sky, streetlights flickered, casting a faint glow. The skyscrapers, towering and dense, stood in stark contrast to the ancient city walls, exuding an aura of age and solidity.

In the penthouse suite of a foreign-owned five-star hotel in Yan Capital, the lights were dim, and the room had not seen rest all night. The delicate moans and gasps of a woman occasionally gave way to sharp cries of pain, but more often, they were weak and exhausted, almost as if she might pass out.

The entire room was filled with the scent of hormones and the woman's rose perfume. Suddenly, the woman let out a sharp scream, followed by a sobbing sound that gradually subsided.

On the spacious soft bed, the white sheets were covered with various signs of madness. A beautiful, naked woman was leaning against the chest of a tall, muscular man. The man's face, devilishly handsome, was also bare. With one hand, he held the woman like a doll, and with the other, he leisurely took a cup of strong-smelling liquor from a pearwood bedside table.

The strong smell of alcohol made the already exhausted woman frown, but she didn't dare show any resentment.

"How are things?" the man asked emotionlessly after taking a sip of the spicy liquor.

The woman, who was drowsy, immediately perked up at his question despite her fatigue. She raised her pretty, oval face towards the man. It was Tang Xin, Tang Wan's cousin.

"Since Tang Wan was poisoned, she's been isolated in the hospital. Grandpa is resting at the family estate, seemingly struck by the incident, leaving Tang Huang in charge. The household is in chaos," Tang Xin said with a charming smile.

A cold smile appeared on the man's face. "Who are they suspecting now?"

Tang Xin replied cunningly, "Those fools think Tang Huang poisoned her. But those supporting Tang Huang wouldn't say it outright, and those supporting Tang Wan, seeing her in this state, don't dare make a move. At this rate, the Tang family will soon be divided."

"Hmph," the man, Yan Buyan, sneered dismissively.

Tang Xin hesitated before asking, "Buyan, once this is over, will you kill the Tang family?"

"Kill? Why should I kill them?" Yan Buyan retorted.

Tang Xin quickly shook her head. "I was just asking. No matter what you decide, I'll support you."

Her eyes were filled with a fervent admiration as if the man before her was her entire belief.

Yan Buyan ignored the passionate look in her eyes. He tossed the cup onto the carpet and slapped Tang Xin's buttocks hard. "Snap!"

"The Tang family's situation is strange. Regardless, they are the most crucial of the Four Great Families. At critical moments, we cannot stand by idly. I believe the Li and Ning families are already paying attention," Yang Gongming said calmly. "If Yang Chen can save her, that would be best. If not, Sanniang, you should check it out. Perhaps you can salvage the situation."

Yan Sanniang nodded, "Rest assured, sir. The young lady of the Tang family is not in immediate danger."

"If it weren't for having a daughter, Tang Zhechen's granddaughter would be quite a remarkable girl. It's a pity, though, considering the generational differences," Yang Gongming sighed.

Yan Sanniang smiled, "Young Master Chen already has quite a few women around him. If times were different, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it."

Yang Gongming laughed heartily, "Let him be. I'm old, and I'll play the fool once. As long as the children are happy, they can do as they please. If women want to be with him, that's his business. However, not all of them can enter the Yang family."

"Sir, you seem confident that Young Master Chen will acknowledge his heritage," Yan Sanniang remarked curiously.

Yang Gongming shook his head, "I'm not confident, but I'm prepared for his return."

He pointed to the calligraphy he had just finished, "Sanniang, keep an eye on Yang Chen's activities in Yan Capital. Many people will know of his arrival. If anything happens, inform me immediately. When you have the chance, give him this piece."

Yan Sanniang glanced at the freshly inked calligraphy and nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, at Yan Capital International Airport, Yang Chen, accompanied by Tianlong and Ye Zi, had just exited the domestic arrivals terminal. He felt a tickle in his nose and almost sneezed.

"Damn, seems like a lot of people are talking about me," Yang Chen muttered to himself, looking around. He asked Tianlong, "Hey, Tianlong, where's our ride? My time is precious."

Tianlong sighed in frustration and pointed to a black Infiniti QX56 SUV parked not far away, "Over there. We wouldn't dare neglect you."

Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction and patted Tianlong's shoulder, "Good service. I'll talk to General Cai about getting you a raise."

Ye Zi rolled her eyes, "Brother Yang, we don't get paid."

"What?!" Yang Chen exclaimed in shock. "You mean you Iron Yellow guys don't get paid for your hard work? Tsk tsk, that's a shame. Why don't you quit Iron Yellow and join my entertainment company? We need security and receptionists."

Without waiting for a response, Yang Chen laughed heartily and headed for the SUV, leaving Tianlong and Ye Zi speechless and their faces alternating between pale and green. Yang Chen opened the car door and got in, still chuckling.
