Lian He's words oozed endless concern. Heaven knows that when he first received the news, his heart nearly leapt out of his chest. Passionate Lian He was a bit too much for Taotao to handle. Outside, Xiang Yawen had already been beaten to within an inch of his life and lay motionless on the ground, even his howls sounding breathless and weak. Yao Shishi, seized by two men, struggled incessantly, but being just a frail woman with at best some rudimentary fighting skills, she stood no chance against Lian Tong's elite henchmen, not even making it past a single move. "Xiao Yue." Lian He looked towards 'Tang Yue', feeling that there was something off about her today. Abruptly, his face darkened as he said, "You're not Xiao Yue, who are you?" "And who are you?" Taotao retorted. "Uncle Lian, I'm really wronged." Yao Shishi shouted, seeing that 'Tang Yue' was safe and sound, she silently cursed in frustration. It had been an hour or two, and yet those people hadn't touched her. They were utterly useless. "Where is Xiao Yue?" Lian He's gaze swept the surroundings, unable to find any trace of Xiao Yue. Suddenly, he thought of Meng Siyu. With his abilities, if something had really happened to Tang Yue, it would be impossible for him not to have shown up by now.

As expected, upon hearing this, Lian He instantly felt at ease. He walked over to Yao Shishi and said, "Miss Yao, since you seem so fond of tarnishing others, let's have you taste the same." "Bring them medication, and take them to the room," Lian He ordered. "Uncle Lian, I am Yao Shishi, a member of the Yao Family, you can't do this to me." Yao Shishi immediately panicked. "I really came to rescue, not to cause harm," Yao Shishi shouted desperately, but alas, Lian He didn't pay her any heed. Lian Tong's men were all elite; administering the drugs was a quick and easy task. Every man in the room was given a pill, and after forcing a pill into Yao Shishi's mouth, the door was locked, leaving those inside to scream as they pleased. After dealing with Yao Shishi, Lian He approached Xiang Yawen, looking down on him from above and said, "You covet my daughter's life, Xiang Yawen. Who gave you such audacity?" Xiang Yawen struggled to speak, uttering not a complete sentence. It's over, he's finished. That was the only thought in Xiang Yawen's mind. Enduring the pain in his body, he struggled to raise his head to meet Lian He's icy glare, a look that seemed to want to flay him alive. He knew all too well that once his brother-in-law turned ruthless, it could be... Xiang Yawen couldn't help but shiver, a trace of ruthlessness flickering in his eyes. Suddenly, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed at Lian He. Gong Sheng stomped on Xiang Yawen's hand, squatted down, grabbed his hand, and the dagger plunged into his shoulder, blood gushing out. "Where's Xiao Yue?" Lian He didn't care about Xiang Yawen; he was anxious to find Tang Yue. Xiang Yawen had meticulously planned his move, but if Meng Siyu didn't take her to such a place, how could anything happen? "I'm fine." Tang Yue, dressed as a man, walked in. Hearing Yao Shishi's screams from inside the room and the smell of blood wafting in the air, the moonlight cast Lian He's figure long and tall. Upon receiving the news, Lian Tong immediately grew restless, fearing something might happen to Tang Yue. "Aunt, I'm leaving, are you okay?" Lian Qingyang wished he could sprout wings and fly to Sea City, but Lian Tong was still in the hospital. "I'm fine, it's not a serious illness to begin with, and besides, I'm not lacking anyone to take care of me." Lian Tong said gravely, "Xiao Yang, Xiao Yue will surely be brought to the Lian Family. You should take a flight back overnight." Lian Qingyang looked frantic and eager, especially after hearing that Tang Yue had been taken away, his heart had been hanging and never settled down. "Xiao Yue?" Lian He turned around, and Tang Yue dressed in men's clothing looked even more handsome, with the baseball cap on, her delicate and beautiful features still looked outrageously pretty under the night sky. However, this disguise made her somewhat similar to Qingyang, causing Lian He to be momentarily dazed; even Lian Qingqing, who was a twin with dragons and phoenixes, didn't resemble Qingyang as much as Tang Yue did. They were all his children, so it was normal for Xiao Yue to resemble Qingyang while dressed in men's clothing. This thought flickered through Lian He's mind, and he stepped forward with concern, saying, "It's good that you're okay." By now, if Lian He didn't understand what was happening, then all the years he had lived would have been a waste. "Is he XiangYawen?" Tang Yue stepped forward, looking down at the man who was beaten to a pulp, his face indiscernible. "Xiao Yue, it doesn't matter who he is, anyone who wants to harm you will not be let off easily by me." Lian He promised, saying, "You don't need to worry about the Yao Family, from now on they won't appear before you again." Tang Yue lifted her head, and under the not so bright light, Lian He's face appeared somewhat blurry, but the icy gleam in his eyes, along with his desire to protect her, was plainly evident without any reserve. Her lips moved, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. The Xiang Family people, she definitely did not want to let go; they wanted to tarnish her reputation, even to take her life. Should she act like a saint and forgive others? As for Yao Shishi, there was even less need to speak of her. Ungrateful for kindness received, such a person was definitely not worthy of her sympathy. "Where is Si Yu?" Lian He suddenly asked. There was a strange man next to Tang Yue, and since the incident happened, Lian He had not seen Meng Siyu. Tang Yue was stunned, she looked around and asked, "Isn't he here?" She was following Meng Siyu's lead to get here, how could there be no one? "Brother Mo was called away for something, he'll be back soon." Li Yi stepped forward to answer. Tang Yue guessed that Meng Siyu might have gone to do something, so she wasn't in a hurry to ask about it. "Xiao Yue, this place isn't clean, I'll take you home." Lian He looked at Tang Yue with anticipation. Yao Shishi will suffer the consequences of her own actions, no one else is to blame, and as for XiangYawen, he will ensure that the Xiang Family provides an explanation. Taking advantage of the gap while sending Tang Yue out, Lian He whispered a few words to Gong Sheng and quickly followed Tang Yue. "Xiao Yue, this is Sea City, this is your home. If you're back home, do you still need to stay outside?" Lian He's voice carried a sense of longing. He had heard from Old Sir Lian that Tang Yue had come to Sea City, but he didn't believe it. Tang Yue clearly knew that the roots of the Lian Family were in Sea City, how could she come to Sea City and not say a word? But who knew reality would always be ... Lian He just regretted not being able to find Tang Yue sooner; otherwise, the relationship between father and daughter wouldn't be as cold and distant as it is now.
