In an instant, Yang Guji felt like a failure. He was incredibly wealthy, and his descendants were also successful, yet he had almost been wiped out by a single force.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he made a momentous decision and said, "Mr. Ye, I am willing to give you another one percent of the Yang Group's shares. I only hope that if the Yang family encounters trouble in the future, you will lend a hand!"
Ye Tian glanced at him and said, "I understand what you're thinking. You want to find a protector for the Yang family."
Yang Guji replied, "To be honest, after this incident, I suddenly realized that we mortals are nothing!"
Ye Tian said, "I can agree, but there is one condition."
Yang Guji quickly said, "Please, sir, tell me."
Ye Tian continued, "If your Yang family members commit evil deeds themselves, then I will not intervene to save people's lives."
Yang Guji assured him, "Please rest assured, Mr. Ye. From now on, I will strictly discipline my family."
Ye Tian stated, "The reason this all started was because you people killed someone in the prison last time. Your Yang family had better give the deceased's family an explanation and seek their forgiveness."
Yang Guji responded, "Yes, we are already handling this matter. Alas, it was Haijing who acted too impulsively."
Ye Tian inquired, "Did you find out why that person hit Yang Haijing?"
Yang Guji explained, "I did. It's not that I'm biased towards my grandson, but this matter truly isn't Haijing's fault. That person was a local bully who preyed on the weak and bullied women. Haijing and his wife were passing through the county town that day when that bully cut them off, nearly causing an accident. That's not all. After forcing their car to stop, they severely beat Haijing. Two of them also insulted my granddaughter-in-law. Mr. Ye, tell me, can my Yang family let such a person go?"
Ye Tian advised, "This matter is in the past. In the future, do not act impulsively."
"Yes, yes, I've noted it," Yang Guji replied.
After Yang Guji took his leave, Lin Ziyi chuckled, "The Yang family is quite generous, casually giving away shares worth tens of billions."
Ye Tian remarked, "He is too wealthy, and being at the top can be lonely. With me as his protector from now on, he won't have to be afraid anymore."
Lin Ziyi asked, "Tian Ge, even at the Yang family's level, they still can't protect themselves?"
Ye Tian explained, "The essence of human society is still the survival of the fittest. It's just that most of the hunting is done in secret, unknown to outsiders. Ziyi, for example, if I didn't have the ability to protect our Baozhi Company, wouldn't it have changed hands long ago during the recent troubles?"
Lin Ziyi sighed softly, "Yes, this world has never been fair."
After a brief conversation, Lin Ziyi said, "Should we change Lingyan's medicinal bath? I feel the medicinal scent is not as strong as before."
Ye Tian replied, "It is time to change it."
They went to the room where Han Lingyan was soaking in the medicinal bath. Han Lingyan's complexion had improved, and she was no longer in as much pain.
Ye Tian changed her medicinal bath again and then administered acupuncture for another half hour.
After treating Han Lingyan, Ye Tian calculated the time. The one-month deadline was approaching, and he had arranged to fight Wang Zun in the capital.
"Ziyi, I'm going to the capital tomorrow," he said.
Lin Ziyi inquired, "What are you going to the capital for?"
Ye Tian, fearing she would worry, replied, "To see a friend. You'll stay at the mountain villa for now and change Han Lingyan's medicinal bath every two days. I'll be back within three days."
Lin Ziyi agreed, "Okay, I'll take care of things here. Don't worry."
After giving a few instructions, Ye Tian boarded the high-speed train to the capital at six in the afternoon.
At ten-thirty that night, Ren Ping arrived at the station by car and took Ye Tian to the hotel. He already knew Ye Tian was there to see Wang Zun and asked, "Do you have confidence?"
Ye Tian declared, "Unless he's an immortal, I'll beat him so badly he'll shit himself!"
Ren Ping informed him, "I received news that Wang Zun arrived in the capital the day before yesterday."
Ye Tian responded, "Oh, he's here so early."
Ren Ping added, "Your ability to make him retreat last time shows that your strength is already not inferior to his. How could Wang Zun dare to be careless when facing someone of similar strength? These past two days, he should be meeting with several experts in the capital."
