Jiang Nuan was Mu Jiu Chen's inverse scale, and anyone who touched her would perish.
On the night of the banquet, Mu Jiu Chen had warned Yang Tian Cheng that he would not let him go. Within a few days, the Yang family, a prestigious clan, had fallen.
Having worked hard for a lifetime, Yang Tian Cheng was unwilling to accept this. He gave Li He a death order: only when Jiang Nuan was dead would Mu Jiu Chen suffer a lifetime of pain.
He was a man, and he knew how much pain it was to lose the woman one loved.
"Heh heh…" Thinking of this, Yang Tian Cheng couldn't help but laugh. "Mu Jiu Chen, you too, taste the agony of heartbreak! You destroyed everything of mine, made me heartbroken. These things I've built are like my children, like my lovers. I cared for them meticulously every day, and you destroyed them in an instant. Do you think I'll let you off?"
Mu Jiu Chen suppressed his anger for a long time before it slowly subsided. He looked at Yang Tian Cheng coldly, his sexy lips spitting out words that were utterly ruthless, "Fine. You made my life worse than death, and I will make your life worse than death. Your son, your wife, none of them will escape. Those who have offended me, Mu Jiu Chen, have always lived a life worse than death."
After Mu Jiu Chen finished speaking, he saw the frantic emotions in Yang Tian Cheng's eyes cracking little by little.
"Don't touch my wife." The words escaped his lips involuntarily. "She's old."
"Heh heh…" Mu Jiu Chen's arrogant eyes seemed unfocused, but they were filled with rage. He looked at Yang Tian Cheng and said word by word, "Then why did you touch my woman? My children are also very young. They are at an age where they need their mother, but now their mother lies there motionless."
Yang Tian Cheng's gaze flickered. At this moment, he finally regretted it.
He regretted the mistakes he had made in his life, the children he had trafficked, and the heinous deeds he had committed. He truly regretted them now.
"Yang Tian Cheng, the people you loved most in your life are your wife and the children she bore you. You are willing to bear all the charges to protect them. Do you think that's possible?"
"I, Mu Jiu Chen, will repay them tenfold, a hundredfold, with pain."
After Mu Jiu Chen finished speaking, he didn't give Yang Tian Cheng a chance to say anything and turned to leave.
Yang Tian Cheng panicked and quickly called out to Mu Jiu Chen.
"Mu Jiu Chen, wait, I know another secret."
Mu Jiu Chen's footsteps paused, and he turned to look at Yang Tian Cheng mockingly. "Will anything you say now be the truth?"
Yang Tian Cheng didn't know much about his mother.
Since his mother was still alive and living happily, all he had to do was not disturb her, not meet her!
Yang Tian Cheng didn't know much either. He had only heard Tan Xue mention it casually back then. He didn't know if it counted as a secret to Mu Jiu Chen, but being able to protect his wife and children was the only thing he wanted to do.
"It's about your mother. Mu Jiu Chen, I'll tell you. Please, don't touch my children and my wife. I won't run anymore. I will accept punishment and make amends for all my mistakes."
Mu Jiu Chen laughed in anger. His bloodshot eyes looked at Yang Tian Cheng. "Even if you die ten times, you cannot make up for the mistakes you have made."
Yang Tian Cheng lowered his eyes and nodded, his tone filled with endless regret. "Mu Jiu Chen, I have realized my mistake. Back then, I heard Tan Xue say that the reason she could get your father was because your mother did not love your father. Your mother loved another man and even suspected that you were not your father's biological son. We did not verify this matter, as the Mu family was too big a target for us, and we dared not act."
"So your family lived peacefully for many years."
"Impossible, I am my father's biological son. I can confirm that." Mu Jiu Chen immediately denied the secret he had spoken.
If he were the child born of his mother's love for his father, she would not have abandoned him.
His mother would never have left him alone here, nor would she have let him grow up alone and lonely.
Yang Tian Cheng was a little disappointed. "Alas! In fact, I don't know much either. Back then, your mother had a man she loved very much. That man also left after your mother died."
Mu Jiu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know who that man was?"
Yang Tian Cheng shook his head. "I haven't seen him either. Tan Xue saw him come to find your mother. She probably doesn't know his appearance or identity either. If she did, she would have used this matter to threaten you back then. But she only mentioned it casually because she suspected you were not your father's biological son."
Yang Tian Cheng looked at him carefully again and said, "Do you really look like your father? I've seen your father and your mother. You look more like your mother, don't you?" Yang Tian Cheng himself wasn't sure, as there was no evidence.
"Hmph!" Mu Jiu Chen snorted coldly, no longer having the desire to continue the conversation. He turned and got out of the car.
Yang Tian Cheng sat in place, his face ashen.
The former patriarch of the Yang family, who had once dominated the world, was now just an ordinary person who had lost everything and wanted to protect his family.
After Mu Jiu Chen got out of the car, the person waiting by the car immediately got in.
"Bang, bang..." The car doors closed with a few sounds, and the car drove directly through the iron gate not far away.
"Hoo..." Mu Jiu Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
Xiao Fan saw that his master's expression was not good and dared not go up.
Chen Feng walked over and lightly touched Xiao Fan. "You go!"
Xiao Fan glared at him. "You go!"
Chen Feng looked like a coward. He couldn't withstand his master's scolding.
"I dare not?"
Xiao Fan laughed angrily. "Why should I dare to do something you don't dare to do?"
Mu Jiu Chen stood in place for a while before looking at Xiao Fan and Chen Feng not far away.
Xiao Fan shuddered and quickly ran over.
"Master, shall we go back?"
Mu Jiu Chen nodded. "You did very well today. Next month, I will give each of you double the salary."
Xiao Fan was ecstatic. To receive such treatment was simply wonderful. "Master, should I catch his son again?"
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at him coldly and said, "Looking at Yang Tian Cheng's son, he's not a good thing either. Take action when necessary."
"Yes, Master!" Xiao Fan immediately beamed. His little treasury was growing, and he had enough for his dowry.
Heh heh...!
He spun around happily!
Mu Jiu Chen had no mood to say anything. He turned and walked towards his car.
He opened the car door, got in, and drove away in a cloud of dust.
Xiao Fan stood where he was, suddenly feeling sorry for his master.
Chen Feng also looked sympathetic. "Alas! He was already solitary and aloof. After finally finding someone he liked, they were separated by death..."
"What are you talking about? You..."
Chen Feng quickly shut his mouth. "Bah, bah, bah... Miss Jiang will definitely be alright."
Xiao Fan finally nodded. "Let's go, we should go back to sleep too. We're risking our lives every day, aren't we?"
An hour later, Mu Jiu Chen returned to the Lu family. As soon as he went upstairs, he heard faint crying. He froze and hurried upstairs.
