Chapter 654: Chapter 657: The Lady

Luo Cuishan smiled and nodded at the two officers, her gaze naturally falling on Yang Chen, a flicker of something inscrutable in her eyes. With a faint smile, she said, "I didn't expect our first official meeting to be in such a situation. If I remember correctly, your name is Yang Chen, right?"

Yang Chen wasn't surprised that Luo Cuishan recognized him. As the matriarch of the Ning family, it would be odd if she didn't know him.

"This isn't the time for small talk," Yang Chen said, not interested in engaging with her. He couldn't read her intentions and didn't plan to. He moved to walk into the station.

The two officers immediately tried to stop him, but as they approached, they felt an invisible force push them away. They staggered back several steps, too shocked to attempt another approach.

Luo Cuishan frowned slightly and said to the officers, "Let him be. Today's matter is not for you to get involved in."

The officers quickly bowed and stepped aside, watching Luo Cuishan walk into the station.

Yang Chen used his senses to locate Huilin and quickly navigated through several corridors to a brightly lit office. Inside, a number of officers and staff were gathered around a large table.

Huilin sat alone on one side, looking frightened, her head hanging down like a child being scolded. Opposite her sat Luo Sheng and the model Liu Zishan, with several staff members behind them.

A square-faced officer in a police uniform was sternly questioning Huilin, his face showing impatience.

"Miss Lin, I'm asking you one last time. Do you admit to assaulting Director Luo Sheng? If you continue to stay silent, our patience has limits!" the officer scolded.

Huilin lifted her head, her eyes filled with tears. In a soft voice, she said, "I... I hit him to save someone..."

"She admitted it! Officer, did you hear that? She admitted to hitting me!" Luo Sheng, his face bruised and with a scruffy chin, shouted angrily. "Officer, you heard it, now arrest this crazy woman!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's anger flared up. Just as he had suspected, they were all ganging up on Huilin!

"Arrest my ass!" Yang Chen spat out, appearing next to Luo Sheng in a flash. He slapped Luo Sheng across his already bruised face.

"I have no interest in killing these people, but they won't even let us hire a lawyer," Yang Chen sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Luo Cuishan, who had regained her composure, changed her expression and tried to speak as kindly as possible. "Yang Chen, I didn't get a chance to speak earlier. I've actually wanted to meet you for a long time. You might not know, but your mother, Guo Xuehua, and I were classmates in college. When I heard she found her long-lost son, I was happy for you both.

Today's incident isn't a big deal. If you and my brother fall out over such a trivial matter, it would harm the harmony between the Ning family and the Yang family. My husband and I have always respected Old Yang. If possible, I suggest we sit down and talk calmly. I know you might not be afraid of so many guns aimed at you, but there's no need to escalate things to a point of no return. It's not worth it, is it?"

Yang Chen squinted and smiled. "Are you trying to be the good guy so I feel grateful to you?"

"You're overthinking it, Yang Chen. As I said, I was classmates with your mother. As your elder, I don't want to see you make such a big mistake. Young people can sometimes be impulsive. Let's sit down and talk. I promise not to make things difficult for you and the Lin girl," Luo Cuishan said gently.

Luo Sheng, trembling, whispered to his sister, "Sis, who is this guy? Someone from the Yang family?"

Luo Cuishan glared at him. "You've caused enough trouble. You'd better shut up now!"

Luo Sheng quickly shut his mouth and nervously observed the scene, while the other model, Liu Zishan, and the staff were too scared to make a sound. Yang Chen smirked. "I don't care about your relationship with my mom or which family you belong to. But since you said those words, and we are strangers, it means you've investigated me. I don't believe you did it with good intentions.

You surely know about the grudge between me and your son. I can tell you openly that at Yunxiao Tower, I made Ning Guodong kneel and apologize in front of everyone. Maybe tonight, he'll come crying to you."

Luo Cuishan's face turned pale. Ning Guodong kneeling?! Her smile disappeared, and anger began to show in her eyes. "Lost your composure?" Yang Chen continued, "I'm saying this to make it clear. You know as well as I do that there were already many issues with the previous generation. There's no harmony to speak of in our generation.

If you want to play the good guy, I don't care what schemes you have. I'm not interested in your tricks. Lin Hui is my and my wife's cherished sister, our family. As long as I'm here, no one can touch her. If it comes to it, I wouldn't hesitate to kill your foolish brother in front of you."

Luo Cuishan, trying to remain calm, said, "You do have a sharp tongue, just like your mother. But you're too young. Even if you forcefully take this girl away, the law is on our side. She assaulted my brother, with witnesses and evidence. She must face legal consequences.

As I understand, she's busy with a concert and a new album. For such a rising star to fall midway, wouldn't that be a pity?"

"Is that so?" Yang Chen smiled mysteriously. "You might soon change your ridiculous thoughts."
