Chapter 152: The Fierce Man Arrives

What is going on? Don't tell me you can't even figure that out yet? Chen Yang said with a smile.

Who did this? Lin Qianyao furrowed his brows. Of course, he could easily piece together what had happened here—he had simply been targeted by an assassin. However, Lin Qianyao was extremely eager to find out who had actually sent the assassin.

Who do you suppose it was? Chen Yang asked.

The Three Eagles Group? Lin Qianyao frowned. After all, the only company he could think of that might send an assassin was the Three Eagles Group.

No, you probably won't believe it when I say this, but it was the Yu family, Chen Yang said earnestly.

The Yu family? I almost forgot about them. Yes, they are also a possibility, Lin Qianyao said with an expression of anger.

Given that the Yu family resorted to such methods against you this time, I suppose it was to exact revenge for our severely beating Yu Chengyi last time. However, I don't understand why they chose to retaliate against you first instead of me, Chen Yang mused with a frown.

Perhaps I'm easier to deal with than you are, Lin Qianyao said coldly.

Come on, come with me somewhere right now. Chen Yang suddenly tugged at Lin Qianyao's arm.

Hearing this, Lin Qianyao naturally looked extremely curious and asked Chen Yang, President Chen, where are we going?

After all, Chen Yang's sudden request for him to accompany him somewhere was so abrupt that Lin Qianyao hadn't even had time to react.

Isn't Yu Chengyi still in his hospital room? So, we're going to see him, Chen Yang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Qianyao experienced a sudden flash of insight, finally understanding where Chen Yang was taking him. It turned out to be Yu Chengyi's hospital room.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Qianyao couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, because Chen Yang's proposal was so unconventional that it left him completely baffled.

Seeing Lin Qianyao's bitter smile, Chen Yang asked, What are you laughing at?

With a helpless expression, Lin Qianyao said, President Chen, I honestly can't understand why we need to go to Yu Chengyi's place right now.

What's so hard to understand? If we go there right now, and you show up alive and well, how much of a shock do you think that will cause the Yu family? Chen Yang said earnestly.

A shock?

Lin Qianyao rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before grasping Chen Yang's intention.

Realizing that Chen Yang was doing this for his own good and had his own plans, he stopped thinking about it too much and said, All right, President Chen, let's go.

Let's go.

Chen Yang and Lin Qianyao climbed into the car together. Chen Yang drove, while Lin Qianyao took the passenger seat.

In fact, given their relationship, Lin Qianyao should have been the one driving. However, seeing that Lin Qianyao had just been through a fright, Chen Yang didn't ask him to drive. Lin Qianyao understood Chen Yang's thoughtful gesture and didn't argue with him.

As Chen Yang drove toward the hospital, he looked intently at Lin Qianyao and asked, After going through this ordeal, what are your thoughts?

The corner of Lin Qianyao's mouth turned up. What other thoughts could I have? We'll just keep fighting the Yu family.

Aren't you scared? Chen Yang asked.

Not really, Lin Qianyao replied calmly.

Don't worry, from now on, as long as you're my man, I won't let a single hair on your head be harmed, Chen Yang said seriously.

Lin Qianyao nodded with a moved expression and didn't say anything more.

One hour later.

Bang!

Yu Chenjiang, Yu Chengyi, and several other high-ranking members of the Yu family were discussing matters in the hospital room when the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside with a loud bang.

The sound of the door being kicked open instantly drew the gazes of everyone in the Yu family toward the entrance.

At the doorway, Chen Yang, accompanied by Lin Qianyao, walked toward the Yu family members with a cold expression.

Seeing this, Yu Chenjiang's brows instantly knitted together.

Not only Yu Chenjiang's, but the brows of every single Yu family member present tightened as well.

Chen Yang walked up to Yu Chenjiang, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. We meet again.

Yu Chenjiang knitted his brows tightly and remained silent.

Chen Yang then looked at Yu Chengyi. It's fine for the Yu family to seek revenge, but don't resort to such despicable methods. If it really comes down to using assassins, do you think your Yu family can outmatch me?

Yu Chengyi's brows furrowed even deeper, and he too kept silent.

What are you acting so arrogant for? Get lost right now! At this moment, a high-ranking member of the Yu family with a rather fiery temper suddenly shouted at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang looked at that executive. If you have the guts, repeat what you just said.

What? You think I wouldn't dare? I said get lost—

Enough!

Before the executive could finish the word "lost," Yu Chenjiang interrupted him in a cold voice, causing him to instantly snap his mouth shut.

Yu Chenjiang then looked at Chen Yang and said coldly, If you have business, state your business. If not, this is a hospital room, not a vegetable market.

Of course I have business coming here. Look at this, my man, President Lin, is still safe and sound. But if not for certain reasons, my man probably would have been sent to meet God by an assassin your Yu family hired. What do you have to say about this? Chen Yang demanded coldly.

Yu Chenjiang frowned. If you have evidence, go through legal channels. If you have no evidence, I'll sue you for slander.

Ha, sue me for slander? Very well, wonderful. You can deny it now, it doesn't matter in the least. However, I want to make it clear that this is the very last time. If there is ever a next time, I will definitely return everything to you using the exact same methods, Chen Yang continued coldly.

Yu Chenjiang replied coldly, Very well, we'll see how you perform in the future.

Remember my words. When it comes to finding assassins, I, Chen Yang, am second to none, Chen Yang said with a cold smile.

With that, he turned to Lin Qianyao. President Lin, do you have anything else to say?

Lin Qianyao said with a cold face, No.

Then let's go.

Let's go.

Chen Yang and Lin Qianyao left the hospital room together.

Though they had departed, the hospital room remained dead silent, with not a single member of the Yu family uttering a word.

After a long while, the hot-tempered Yu family executive broke the silence, saying, What an ignorant fool, daring to set himself against the Yu family. Who does he think he is?

Enough.

Yu Chenjiang interrupted him once again. Being the shrewd and calculating person he was, he knew that Chen Yang's visit today was by no means a simple display of intimidation.

If the Yu family were to take any more aggressive actions in the future, Chen Yang would genuinely seek out assassins from abroad.

We'll discuss this matter further after Third Brother recovers, Yu Chenjiang said with a stern expression.

He then added, From now on, no one is to make unauthorized comments about this matter. If I hear anything of the sort, I will show no mercy.

Chen Yang and Lin Qianyao returned to the car. As soon as they got inside, Lin Qianyao couldn't help but shake his head with an amused and helpless smile. President Chen, you really had quite an imposing aura just now. With so many people in the Yu family, none of them could suppress your momentum.

Chen Yang said calmly, None of that is the main point. Don't think for a second that I was just joking with them.

I reckon the Yu family will behave themselves for a while now, Lin Qianyao remarked.

They dare not to? Chen Yang narrowed his eyes coldly.

With that, thinking of returning to Linhai as soon as possible, Chen Yang didn't waste any more words with Lin Qianyao. Let's head back.

Lin Qianyao hurriedly nodded. All right.

Chen Yang dropped Lin Qianyao off at the Huading Group, accompanying him into his office to sit and chat for a while.

The reason Chen Yang did this was because Lin Qianyao had just experienced a severe shock, and he wanted to help soothe his emotions.

After chatting for over half an hour, Lin Qianyao repeatedly assured him that he was fine and told Chen Yang not to worry.

Seeing that Lin Qianyao insisted he was completely fine, Chen Yang stopped dwelling on it. He stood up from the sofa and bid farewell, Well then, I still have matters to attend to back in Linhai.

Lin Qianyao hurriedly rose from his chair as well. President Chen, please drive carefully on the road.

Don't worry, Chen Yang said with a faint smile.

Having said his goodbyes to Lin Qianyao, Chen Yang turned to leave, but right at that moment, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Chen Yang quickly pulled out his phone to check, and to his surprise, the caller ID displayed Qin Hu's number.

Chen Yang immediately answered the call, and heard Qin Hu's earnest voice. President Chen, Liu Gang wants to see you and asked me to pass along a message.

Liu Gang? The second most powerful underworld boss in Dongjiang City after Xu Tianmeng was defeated? Chen Yang asked.

Qin Hu replied, Yes, that's him. Actually, he's wanted to meet you for a long time, but I kept telling him you were busy. I don't know how he found out you came to Dongjiang this time, so he specifically called me to pass the message along.

Is that so? How are things going with your takeover of the Dongjiang underworld? Chen Yang asked calmly. After all, since he was going to interact with Liu Gang, he naturally needed to understand the situation beforehand.

Qin Hu reported, To put it simply regarding the underworld affairs in Dongjiang, if Liu Gang is willing to submit to your leadership, we can cut our workload down below by at least fifty percent.

Really? It seems this Liu Gang is quite important then? Chen Yang smiled.

Indeed he is, Qin Hu said.

Then let's go meet him. Noon today? You can make the specific arrangements, Chen Yang said coolly.

All right, no problem. I'll get in touch with him right away, Qin Hu said earnestly.

Good. Chen Yang nodded and hung up the phone.

Ending the call with Qin Hu, Chen Yang let out a long breath and thought to himself, Liu Gang, Liu Gang... When I meet him later, what kind of attitude will he have toward me? I truly can't imagine.

At twelve o'clock noon, Chen Yang brought Qin Hu to a real estate agency office operated by Liu Gang to wait for him.

Originally, Qin Hu had made an appointment with Liu Gang to meet at noon right there in his agency's office.

However, when Chen Yang and Qin Hu arrived at the office, the staff members informed them that Liu Gang was not in and had temporarily stepped out on business.

Qin Hu called Liu Gang's cell phone, but it remained constantly engaged on another call.

After hanging up, Qin Hu's face was filled with anger as he said to Chen Yang, He's definitely doing this on purpose. He's definitely doing it on purpose.

Keep calm and don't be impatient, Chen Yang said calmly.

With a look of apology, Qin Hu said, President Chen, I'm just afraid you'll be kept waiting too long.

It's fine, I'm not in a hurry. We can wait patiently, it's no trouble at all, Chen Yang said with a slight smile.

Qin Hu gave Chen Yang a deep look and said nothing more.

Since Chen Yang had already stated he wasn't in a hurry, there was nothing left for him to say.

Chen Yang then closed his eyes to rest and collect his thoughts.

Could Chen Yang really not feel any type of way about Liu Gang purposely pretending to have business and standing him up? Of course he did, but he simply couldn't be bothered to fuss over it.

He figured this was just part of the process of meeting Liu Gang. He would wait patiently and see what tricks this fellow actually had up his sleeve.

Chen Yang and Qin Hu waited in the office for a full hour before a middle-aged man with slicked-back oily hair, dressed in a black suit, lean and with an inverted triangular face, finally arrived fashionably late with two subordinates. Wearing a wide smile, he said, President Chen, Brother Qin, I'm so sorry, truly sorry. I got held up by something earlier, apologies, apologies!

Qin Hu's brows knitted together in anger, and he was about to stand up and snap at Liu Gang.

However, just as Qin Hu started to rise, Chen Yang suddenly pressed a hand onto his arm, gently signaling him to sit back down.

Once Qin Hu had reseated himself, Chen Yang looked at Liu Gang and said, It's understandable that President Liu had matters to attend to.

You must be President Chen, right? Liu Gang hurriedly walked right up to Chen Yang and took the initiative to shake his hand.
