Lian He scrutinized the two of them and asked, "Who is the mastermind behind this?" His piercing gaze seemed to glean some insight from their expressions. Before Gong Sheng could finish speaking, Lian He suggested, "Does it have to do with the Xiang Family?" Gong Sheng and Yue Jun hadn't responded yet, but Lian He had already guessed the answer from their expressions. His eyes darkened, and just as he was about to step forward, he heard the sound of a car. Instinctively, Lian He paused his steps. Their location was good—right by the two-story building not far from the courtyard. It looked like it used to be a village office, but since the place was remote and everyone had moved away, a new village office was established somewhere else, leaving this old, nearly collapsing building abandoned. From the second floor windows, taking advantage of the cover of night, it was easy to clearly see anyone entering the yard. The person was in disguise, but to those familiar with them, it was possible to recognize the individual by their body shape and the facial features revealed. In an instant, Lian He confirmed the person's identity, and a towering anger surged in his heart. Xiao Yue was his daughter, and he had made his stance clear enough. He had thought that Xiang Yazhi would not stir up more trouble, but unexpectedly… Lian He's gaze deepened, and both Gong Sheng and Yue Jun immediately felt a chill run down their backs. Mr. Lian looked gentle and refined, but his aura was indeed very strong. Suddenly, a woman ran out and grabbed XiangYawen. XiangYawen had been thinking that his disguise would not be recognized, but when this woman suddenly appeared, he was startled. After recognizing it was Yao Shishi, his face darkened, and he asked, "What are you doing here?" "Uncle, is it fine for you to be here but not for me?" Yao Shishi blinked her eyes. She was wearing a tight-fitting long dress today, and as she approached him, grabbing his arm, she said, "Uncle, I know that you have taken Tang Yue." XiangYawen's face sank immediately. "Uncle, I won't tell anyone," Yao Shishi blinked again. At thirty years of age, with heavy makeup and a deliberately seductive smile, XiangYawen's thoughts were swayed. He pulled Yao Shishi to the corner and said, "Shishi, how come you're here? Do you have a grudge against Tang?" "No," Yao Shishi answered with a wide smile. She curled her lips and continued, "Uncle, I don't have a grudge against her, but I know she is Uncle Lian's illegitimate daughter. What do you think, if Uncle Lian finds out about this, will he make trouble for you?" Yao Shishi's fingertips rested on XiangYawen's chest, her eyes brimming with charm as she asked, "Uncle Lian is so concerned about her, what do you think he would do if he found out you had someone defile her, would he let you off the hook?" This thought surfaced in XiangYawen's mind. Although Tang Yue hadn't been acknowledged by the Lian Family yet, how much Lian He, his brother-in-law, cared for his illegitimate daughter was something he was quite aware of, even though he hadn't witnessed it personally. A wave of panic rose in XiangYawen's heart, but he said nothing, his eyes fixed on Yao Shishi. Yao Shishi smiled softly and whispered in his ear, "If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly—just defiling her is useless. If she were not in this world anymore, then no matter how much Uncle Lian cared for this illegitimate daughter, what could he do?" "Qingqing and Qingyang are Uncle Lian's own children," Yao Shishi said with a smile. This wasn't her first time dealing with such matters, she was quite used to it. Her husband once had a wife he deeply loved, but in the end, didn't she tear them apart? Just that the man was too useless… Yao Shishi's eyes darkened slightly, and she stopped thinking further. XiangYawen's mind was racing, considering the possibilities in Yao Shishi's words. Before, they wanted to find someone to defile Tang Yue, precisely because they didn't want her to return to the Lian Family. But Yao Shishi was right. Once started, it must be carried through. With that person gone and dead in such a terrible way, the Lian Family would only see it as a stain on their reputation. How could they make a big fuss about this incident? "Alright." Xiang Yawen responded, his gaze falling on Yao Shishi's face. At worst, when the time comes, he could just pin everything on Yao Shishi, which wouldn't touch his sister at all. As long as he helped his sister thoroughly deal with that little vixen, she would be too busy praising him to do anything else. The door was suddenly kicked open. Xiang Yawen was indulging in fantasies about the future, in high spirits, when he was startled by the sound, which gave him quite a scare. "What's going on?" Xiang Yawen demanded, his ten or so men were utterly useless. Xiang Yawen had barely taken a few steps before he saw his brother-in-law, Lian He, with a gloomy face, walk in. Over the years, Lian He had run the business successfully and rarely smiled. He always had a stern look, giving people a very serious impression. But at this moment, there was a bloodthirsty gleam in Lian He's eyes, so sharp it seemed like he wanted to tear him apart alive. "Sister, brother-in-law." Xiang Yawen's mind went blank, not understanding why Lian He would appear at this time. He must have overheard what he had just said. Lian He raised his hand and slapped Xiang Yawen. "Beat him until he's half-dead." His voice was so cold and devoid of emotion, as if it came straight from hell. Gong Sheng and Yue Jun instantly stepped forward, dragging Xiang Yawen into the corner and started beating him. Xiang Yawen's screams rang out in the darkness, sounding exceptionally chilling, especially since Gong Sheng and Yue Jun showed no mercy at all. Their punches and kicks landed on Xiang Yawen's body with a ferocity that made the sounds ring in Yao Shishi's ears and shudder instantaneously. "Miss Yao." Lian He's cold gaze swept over to Yao Shishi, who shivered as she faced Lian He's stare. Her legs started trembling as she said, "Uncle Lian, I... This has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to rescue someone on Mr. Meng's behalf." Yao Shishi quickly came up with an excuse for herself. A faint sneer appeared under Lian He's eyes, and his gaze landed on 'Tang Yue' who walked out of the house. He strode forward. Yao Shishi slipped away as fast as she could, immediately preparing to leave. Lian He bellowed, "Capture her." Two men stepped forward swiftly and restrained Yao Shishi. "Xiao Yue, are you okay?" Lian He asked anxiously as he approached, and in the dim light, 'Tang Yue's' hair was somewhat disheveled, but her clothes were intact. 'Tang Yue' looked at Lian He. Taotao was naturally recognized, but she still didn't know why Lian He would be so worried about 'Tang Yue,' and for a moment, she did not speak. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by nοvelfire.net Lian He walked into the house and saw with his own eyes the pile of people stacked like arhats in the room. Their dreadful state gave him a sigh of relief. "Xiao Yue, it's good that you're alright. Don't go to bars anymore. It's too dangerous. Even if you're skilled, there are always stronger people out there."
