A commotion arose from the crowd.
A team of dozens of people hurried over, each carrying a submachine gun and a long sword at their waist.
Upon seeing them, Huang Jun was overjoyed.
"Commander Lu, I didn't expect you to be in Jinling. This is quite a bother for you."
Huang Jun beamed. The man before him was none other than Lu Guangyi, the commander of the Shadow Unit, one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons of Longguo.
The Shadow Unit was primarily responsible for gathering intelligence and carrying out assassination missions.
"I heard your men couldn't defeat a child. I happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look."
After a few pleasantries, Lu Guangyi walked up to Su Yang.
"Why is it you?"
Lu Guangyi was stunned. He naturally recognized Su Yang.
Half of the managers in the eight major departments of Longguo were on good terms with Su Yang.
Shi Wuzun of the Zhenguo Army, Duan Linglong, president of the Cultural Relics Association, Zhou Budao, director-general of the Construction Bureau, Zong Ze, director of the Songhai Security Bureau...
Su Yang also remembered Lu Guangyi, who had once tried to recruit Jiang Hei.
"Commander Lu, I hope you've been well!"
"Apologies for the intrusion!"
Lu Guangyi clasped his fists in a salute and waved his men away.
They had arrived in a hurry and left just as quickly.
The surrounding people were dumbfounded. They had expected a good show, and it was over just like that?
Huang Jun and his son were even more bewildered. They had heard of Su Yang, but they hadn't expected him to have such influence.
Lu Guangyi had just left?
Su Yang put away the martial arts manual. "Anyone else?"
Huang Jun's face darkened. Huang Tao whispered in his ear, "Father, why don't we have someone shoot him dead!"
Huang Jun hesitated, "What about the people behind him?"
"This is Jinling, not Songhai. Zong Ze's reach isn't that long. As for that old man Shi Wuzun, he's probably not even in Longguo."
Huang Jun nodded. The Huang family also had connections in the capital.
If Su Yang were killed today, and Shi Wuzun and the others tried to cause trouble for the Huang family, those in the capital wouldn't stand by idly.
Just then, the Huang family's bodyguards arrived.
Huang Jun waved his hand. "Go!"
Over a hundred bodyguards, armed with guns, aimed at Su Yang.
"Who dares to touch my benefactor, Li Daoqing?"
Everyone turned to see Li Daoqing approaching with the Li family's bodyguards.
Li Daoqing had heard that Su Yang was in trouble and had already sent people over.
He had only waited until now to make his move because he wanted to gauge Su Yang's true strength.
"Divine Doctor Su, I'm late."
"Patriarch Li is too kind."
Meng Jing quickly chimed in, "Patriarch Huang, are you sure you want to proceed?"
Huang Jun looked confused. "Old ghost Li, what do you mean?"
Li Daoqing smiled without answering. Huang Tao explained, "Father, I heard that Patriarch Li's illness was cured by Su Yang..."
Huang Jun's pupils constricted. If that were true, then he couldn't keep Su Yang here today.
Among the four major local families, both the Li and Meng families were protecting Su Yang. What could his Huang family do against them?
Furthermore, the Jinling Security Bureau had yet to appear, likely watching the show from the shadows.
Huang Jun reluctantly waved his hand, and the bodyguards lowered their weapons.
"Let's go..."
Su Yang, however, was not pleased. "You want to fight when you want to fight, and leave when you want to leave?"
"What do you want?"
Huang Jun stopped and turned back to look at Su Yang.
"Your son harassed my girlfriend. Shouldn't your Huang family apologize?"
Huang Jun's veins bulged with anger, but he suppressed it. "Tao'er, apologize to them!"
"Father, I..."
Huang Jun glared at him, and Huang Tao reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."
"Is that all?"
Huang Jun was furious. "Su Yang, don't push your luck!"
"Ridiculous! I, Su, am new to Jinling and have no enmity with your Huang family. It was your son who insisted on causing trouble. Are you blaming me now?"
Huang Jun's expression was grim. His clenched fists slowly relaxed.
"Make your son leave a finger behind, and this matter will be settled!"
Su Yang pointed at Huang Tao, whose face turned ashen.
"Impossible!"
Huang Jun had only one son and was unwilling to agree.
"Su Yang, do you really think this family head has no way to deal with you?"
Su Yang sneered and kicked Xu Zhizhong on the ground a few more times, responding to Huang Jun's words with actions.
Li Daoqing raised his hand, and the bodyguards behind him stood ready.
Meng Jing also summoned her subordinates, and the two families joined forces to exert pressure.
Huang Jun despaired and slowly closed his eyes.
"Do as he says!"
"Father..."
Huang Tao was even more desperate and terrified, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
But no matter how he pleaded, Huang Jun wouldn't look at him.
Huang Tao fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed to Su Yang. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken disrespectfully to your girlfriend. I know I was wrong..."
"Tao'er..."
Seeing his son kneel, Huang Jun felt utterly humiliated.
"Su Yang, please, spare me..."
Huang Tao continued to kowtow, blood flowing from his forehead.
"Scram!"
"You too, scram!"
Su Yang kicked Xu Zhizhong, and the Huang family members quickly left.
The surrounding onlookers also dispersed, but the entire Jinling was abuzz.
Su Yang from Songhai, fiercely protecting his girlfriend, had intimidated the Huang family, one of Jinling's four major local families.
He had forced Huang Tao to kneel and apologize, and Xu Zhizhong had lost his martial arts manual.
...
Meng Jing smiled. "Linglong, I envy you! After thirty years, you've finally found a man worth entrusting your life to."
Duan Linglong smiled faintly and said nothing.
Su Yang clasped his fists in thanks to the representatives of the two families. "Thank you both!"
"Divine Doctor Su is too kind. It is I who should be thanking you."
"Patriarch Li, your illness requires continued medication. If you need anything, come find me in Songhai."
Su Yang handed over a card. Li Daoqing was a decent person.
Li Daoqing accepted the card, guessing that Su Yang was about to leave.
"Linglong, I'll contact you when there's progress on that matter."
Meng Jing waved goodbye, her gaze sweeping over Su Yang.
"Alright, goodbye!"
120
Duan Family Villa.
After Su Yang and the other returned, Duan Linglong said she had company matters to attend to and drove away.
Hearing the sound of a zither, Su Yang followed the source.
He saw Duan Wanjun playing the guzheng, performing "Blue and White Porcelain."
The melody was long and gentle, evoking a sense of returning to that era of shared peace and prosperity.
Duan Wanjun was engrossed in her playing, completely unaware of Su Yang's arrival.
"Second Sister, I'm back."
Hearing his voice, Duan Wanjun gently pressed her hands on the strings, and the music abruptly stopped.
"I heard you got into trouble again. You can't stay out of mischief anywhere."
Su Yang sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
Seen from the side, Duan Wanjun's S-shaped figure was even more alluring and curvaceous.
Duan Wanjun patted his hand. "Don't touch me like that. It wouldn't be good if they saw."
"Second Sister, I can't help it. It's just that you're too charming."
Su Yang sniffed her hair and blew a warm breath into her ear.
Duan Wanjun's face instantly flushed crimson. She tried to push him away a few times, but to no avail, so she let him be.
"Second Sister, shall we go back to our room?"
"No, you haven't fulfilled my request yet, so I can't give it to you."
"Last time at my place, you were willing to use your mouth, so what's the difference now?"
"Don't talk about it. You tricked me, saying it was just a bath..."
Thinking of what had happened before, Duan Wanjun's heart pounded even faster, and her face felt hot.
Su Yang pulled Duan Wanjun up and was about to lead her back to the room.
Just then, Duan Xiao Si rushed in.
"Su Yang, where did you hide Xiao Ba?"
