Chapter 1 The Dragon City, Yu Mingyuan's Villa

In the Dragon City, at Yu Mingyuan's villa.

Early in the morning, Yu Mingyuan woke up from his bed. He glanced at Wen Xiaorou, who was still asleep, gently lifted the quilt, got out of bed, rubbed his somewhat dizzy head, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

"Buzz buzz!"

A rapid vibration sounded. Yu Mingyuan picked up the phone on the counter, glanced at it, and saw that it was Tan Mingzhao calling.

After thinking for a moment, he answered the phone and lowered his voice, "Hello?"

Tan Mingzhao's voice was loud, "Mingyuan, are you free? I want to chat with you."

"I'm free, go ahead." Yu Mingyuan gently closed the bathroom door.

Tan Mingzhao immediately said, "Something urgent, come to our headquarters, we'll talk in detail when we meet!"

Yu Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I got it, I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you!"

The phone hung up. Yu Mingyuan put down his phone, quickly washed his face, and was about to dry his face when he realized the towel wasn't on the rack.

He turned and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wen Xiaorou standing outside, wearing pajamas and holding a towel.

Yu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Hehe, did I wake you up?"

Wen Xiaorou gently shook her head and handed over the towel.

Yu Mingyuan wiped his face and said to Wen Xiaorou, "I'm not going to the company later. I have to go out. Mingzhao is looking for me."

Wen Xiaorou stood silently beside him, hesitant, but said nothing.

Yu Mingyuan quickly changed his clothes, gently kissed Wen Xiaorou's cheek, and turned to leave.

Wen Xiaorou saw him all the way to the front door. Just as Yu Mingyuan was about to put on his shoes and leave, she couldn't help but softly called out, "Mingyuan..."

"Mm?"

Yu Mingyuan slowly looked up.

Wen Xiaorou paused for a moment, then said, "Mingyuan, we are already very stable. I don't want you to get involved in these things again... I'm very worried about you..."

Yu Mingyuan stretched out his hands, gently hugged Wen Xiaorou's waist, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't let myself get caught up in it again. It's just that Xiao Yu is not home these days, and Da Bai also had an accident. The Tan faction is unfamiliar with everyone except me, and no one can connect with them. So, I have to go over and help."

Hearing this, Wen Xiaorou didn't say anything more, but only urged, "Then you must pay attention to safety... After Da Bai's accident, I have been feeling uneasy."

Yu Mingyuan smiled and said, "I'm going out with eighty bodyguards, I promise to protect myself thoroughly."

Wen Xiaorou knew he was deliberately trying to make her happy, and gently patted his arm.

Yu Mingyuan then said, "Don't worry, Dragon City is under martial law now, you don't have to worry about safety."

"Mm..."

After comforting his fiancée, Yu Mingyuan walked out of the villa.

Outside the villa, several military vehicles from the Tan faction were already parked, with a dozen guards standing here.

Seeing Yu Mingyuan come out, the company commander of Tan Mingzhao's guard company quickly walked over and saluted him with a snap, "Mr. Yu, I am the company commander of the headquarters' guard company, and I am ordered to pick you up!"

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Yu Mingyuan had met this guard company commander before. He had always been responsible for Tan Mingzhao's safety, so he followed him into the car.

Wen Xiaorou watched his back at the door, sighed softly, and returned to the villa.

...

About half an hour later, a row of military vehicles stopped in front of the headquarters gate.

"Dring dring!"

Just as Yu Mingyuan got out of the car, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He glanced at it and answered the phone, "Hello?"

Kong ZhengHui's voice came from the phone, "Mingyuan, where are you?"

Yu Mingyuan said, "I'm at the garrison headquarters now, what's wrong?"

Kong ZhengHui lowered his voice, "Are you free? I have something I want to tell you."

Yu Mingyuan looked at the headquarters building in front of him and asked, "Can you wait a moment?"

Kong ZhengHui hurriedly said, "I'm in a hurry."

Hearing this, Yu Mingyuan thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, you come to the headquarters, and we'll talk face to face."

"Okay, then wait for me." Kong ZhengHui hurriedly hung up the phone.

Yu Mingyuan didn't think too much, put away his phone, and followed the guard company commander into the headquarters building.

He went all the way to the fifth floor, entered the office, and saw Tan Mingzhao sitting at his desk.

At this time, Tan Mingzhao was sweating profusely on the phone, seemingly trying to appease someone, "Yes, yes, don't worry... Okay, let's do this for now, we'll talk later."

Seeing Yu Mingyuan come in, Tan Mingzhao hung up the phone, got up and said to him, "You're finally here, sit! Sit down and talk!"

The two walked to the sofa next to them and sat down.

Tan Mingzhao looked at him and went straight to the point, "Mingyuan, my dad called me last night and said that Su Tianyu was rescued."

Yu Mingyuan nodded, "Yes, I also received the news. I heard he's already in the hospital, what a blessing..."

Tan Mingzhao waved his hand and said, "But this little bit of news is not enough. Many people in the garrison are still a little uneasy. Su Tianyu's accident has had a big impact on them. See if you can contact Xiao Yu and ask him about his current situation, to reassure everyone, this is crucial. If necessary, he can personally make a phone call to communicate with us and appease the emotions here."

Yu Mingyuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll look into it."

"Also, there are many rumors about Gu Baishun outside...!"

The two sat in the office and began to discuss the matter.

...

More than twenty minutes later, in the headquarters compound, the Kong family's car slowly stopped downstairs.

Kong ZhengHui sat in the car, looking around with a deep gaze, waiting quietly.

Kong Zhengqi sat in the driver's seat, smoking a cigarette.

After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and say to his cousin, "Brother, I still don't recommend you to confront him now."

Kong ZhengHui was thinking about something, and didn't say anything.

...

District One, Hua Fu, in a high-end club.

Lu Zhen answered a phone call, chatted for a few words, and turned to Yuan Biao and said, "I have to entertain a few friends here, you sit first, I'll go out for a while."

With that, he stood up and walked out. Before leaving, he also urged Yuan Biao, "Drink less, okay?"

The door closed gently, and Yuan Biao poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as Lu Zhen left, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Two young girls, dressed flamboyantly and with hot figures, walked in, bringing with them a gust of fragrance, and sat gently next to Yuan Biao.

"Brother Biao, good evening."

"Brother Biao, let me drink with you."

"Get out!" Yuan Biao ordered with a gloomy face and red eyes, "Let Xiao Yan come in!"
