Don't think I don't have a temper.

The old man leaned against the backrest of the seat, either sleeping or just resting his eyes. He looked to be around seventy and had the air of an otherworldly master.

Su Yang quickly glanced at the two of them, sat down properly, and fastened his seatbelt.

By now, the gates of the villa district were already open. Zhuang Mengli closed the car door and said, Let's go in.

Alright, the female driver replied, stepping on the gas pedal. The car slowly drove inside.

In the car, no one spoke. Su Yang thought to himself, What exactly is the relationship between these people? They don't seem very familiar with each other.

And this old man in the back is weird too. Right, let's scan him.

System, scan this Old Fart in the back row.

[Guan Tianya, Age: 75]

[Height: 170cm]

[Weight: 60kg]

[Constitution: 85]

[Combat Power: Rank D, 55]

[Profession: Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, Nickname: Miracle Doctor Guan]

Seeing this information, Su Yang was taken aback and spoke in his mind.

A miracle doctor? Whoa, is he that badass? And to have combat power surpassing ordinary people in his seventies, he is not simple at all.

System, how are his actual medical skills?

[Average]

Average? Then who crowned him a miracle doctor...

Zhuang Mengli came back with this old man, could it be that someone in her family is sick?

That should be it. Wait, if someone in her family is sick, why did she call me here?

Damn, does she actually know I can cure illnesses?

Thinking of this, Su Yang stroked his chin.

That is not right either. If she knew I could cure illnesses, why would she invite some old miracle doctor?

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't bother thinking about it. I will know soon enough.

The car drove along the spacious internal roads of the neighborhood and soon arrived outside the gates of Villa Number One.

While still in the car, Su Yang caught sight of Villa Number One, the most expensive property in the neighborhood. From the outside, the villa's exterior walls were almost entirely white.

The entire villa featured a semi-enclosed design with a total of four floors above and below ground, plus a wraparound outdoor garden of about 1,300 square meters.

The overall style of the villa was that of a British manor, exceptionally luxurious and grand.

The car quickly drove through the gates of Villa Number One, entering into a massive wraparound garden.

The female driver pulled the car up to the steps in front of the main entrance and stopped. Zhuang Mengli then spoke, Su Yang, let's get out.

Alright. Su Yang opened the door, but before he could step out, he saw Zhuang Mengli shout at Guan Tianya, who still had his eyes closed, Old man Guan, stop pretending to be asleep. Hurry up and get out.

Holy crap? Is this girl really that fierce towards an old man? Su Yang thought to himself.

After Zhuang Mengli finished speaking, Guan Tianya finally gave a response and slowly opened his eyes.

He twisted his stiff neck and asked, Are we here?

We are here. Hurry up and get out, my grandfather is still waiting for you!

Alright, alright. Sigh, I was busy a bit late yesterday, so I am quite tired today. The moment I sit down, I just want to sleep. Guan Tianya smiled, pulled open the car door, and stepped out.

Su Yang was already standing to the side waiting. Guan Tianya's movements as he got out of the car were unusually agile, not looking like an elderly person at all.

This scene left him a bit stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood. This old man had some combat power after all, and his constitution was quite high, much higher than an ordinary person's.

So his agile movements made perfect sense. Moreover, he was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor himself, so he surely did not neglect maintaining his own body.

Zhuang Mengli also got out of the car at the same time. After everyone was out, the female driver drove the car away.

This is? After the car drove off, Guan Tianya stroked his goatee and looked at Su Yang, who was standing not far in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhuang Mengli hurriedly said, Ugh, who he is has nothing to do with you. Let's just go, stop dawdling.

Hey? I say, you little girl should be more polite to this old man! Are you inviting me or am I inviting you? Guan Tianya glared at Zhuang Mengli, feigning anger.

Hearing this, Zhuang Mengli's expression behind her mask changed. She stepped forward, grabbed Guan Tianya's arm, shook it playfully, and laughed, Oh, Grandpa Guan, I won't yell at you anymore, okay? But you need to hurry inside, my grandfather is still waiting for you to treat him!

Hmph, little girl, it is good that you know you brought me here to treat an illness. Your attitude towards me has been terrible this whole way, let me tell you. Do not think I don't have a temper.

Hehe, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will treat you to drinks another day, okay? Let's go, let's go. Zhuang Mengli pulled Guan Tianya toward the house.

After hearing their conversation, Su Yang confirmed his guess. Sure enough, they brought this Miracle Doctor Guan here to treat an illness, and the patient was Zhuang Mengli's grandfather.

Just then, the main doors opened, and Old Liu walked out from inside.

Upon seeing them, he first greeted Zhuang Mengli, then respectfully stepped forward and said, Elder Guan, you have arrived!

Mhm. Guan Tianya didn't even look at Old Liu, giving a very perfunctory response.

Old Liu didn't mind. He nodded with a smile, Elder Guan, please come in.

As he spoke, he stepped aside and extended a hand. Zhuang Mengli then said to Old Liu, Uncle Liu, please help me entertain my friend, the handsome guy in the back here, Su Yang.

Understood, Miss Mengli. Old Liu tilted his head to look at Su Yang and smiled faintly. Mr. Su...

As soon as the word Su left his mouth, Old Liu suddenly remembered something. The smile on his face instantly vanished, turning into awkwardness.

Su Yang also guessed that this man must be the butler who previously claimed not to know him.

However, he wasn't angry. He slowly walked forward and smiled, I was the one who had the security guard at the gate call earlier.

Uh... I am sorry, Mr. Su, I...

Ah, no need to explain, I understand.

Alright, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Su. Please come in.

Okay. Su Yang replied and followed Old Liu into the villa.

Upon entering the house, the first thing that caught the eye was a luxurious entrance lobby with a ceiling height of about ten meters. Various valuable oil paintings hung on the walls on both sides, along with many bizarrely shaped sculptures.

Old Liu turned to look at Su Yang, who was observing the lobby, and said, Mr. Su, this way please.

Okay. Su Yang replied and followed Old Liu toward the right side of the lobby. Just past the lobby was an enormous horizontal living room. On the right side of the living room, near the windows, was an open reception area. Not far from the reception area was a tea room.

As they were walking, the doors of the tea room opened, and the aforementioned President Zhuang walked out. This person was actually Zhuang Mengli's father, Zhuang Yong.

As soon as he came out, he saw Old Liu and a young man he had never seen before.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yong asked, Old Liu, who is this young brother?

President Zhuang, this handsome young man is Miss Mengli's friend. Uh... the one I mentioned to you just now.

Oh? Is that so? Since he is Mengli's friend, take him over there to sit for a bit. Zhuang Yong tilted his head and glanced at the reception area.

Understood. Old Liu nodded in agreement.

This Zhuang Yong didn't even greet Su Yang. After instructing Old Liu, he walked straight toward the elevator.

Watching Zhuang Yong's retreating back, Su Yang thought to himself, Damn, he sure puts on airs. No wonder his surname is Zhuang.

Mr. Su, please come sit over here for a moment. Miss Mengli has some matters to attend to right now and will come down shortly.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about me. I'll just sit here by myself for a bit."

"Let me get you a glass of water first," Old Liu said, quickly fetching a glass of water for Su Yang and walking back over.

"Mr. Su, here is your water. Please take a seat, I need to head upstairs for a moment."

"Alright, go ahead. Oh right, it's fine if I smoke a cigarette, right?"

Old Liu smiled slightly. "It's perfectly fine."

"Great, go do your work then." Su Yang took out a cigarette and lit it, then leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

After Old Liu left, he took another good look at his surroundings. Overall, it was indeed quite nice.

The entire first floor was incredibly spacious, and the decor was extremely luxurious. Right outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a beautiful garden.

Looking at it, it felt pretty much the same as the homes of Pan Chonghai and Meng Jianyun. They were all luxury mansions anyway; it was just the decoration styles and interior layouts that were different.

After glancing around for a bit, he couldn't be bothered to look anymore. Having seen so many of these places, it no longer felt breathtaking to him.

Su Yang leaned back and smoked while waiting. He had just exhaled a puff of smoke and was about to take out his phone to check in with Pan Ning.

However, before he could even pull out his phone, the rapid patter of footsteps echoed from a distance.

Zhuang Mengli hurried out from behind the lobby wall and ran straight toward him.

"Su Yang! Quick, come with me!" Zhuang Mengli shouted as she ran, her voice sounding extremely urgent.

"Where to?" Su Yang looked up, taken aback.

"Upstairs, my grandpa wants to see you!"

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
