As per tradition, the annual meeting began with a speech from the city's leaders.
They outlined the key projects planned for the next year and so on.
After that, it was time for the major families and corporations to take the stage.
"Next year, Su Hang's development focus will lean heavily on environmental protection. We aim to reduce carbon emissions..."
The leaders spoke for half an hour straight.
Once they were done, Wang Yixue, representing the Wang family, stood up and proposed,
"The Teng Wang Group will actively respond to the call and contribute our modest efforts to Su Hang's environmental cause."
"I also have an issue I'd like to bring up with the leaders. Dragon Morning Group, one of Su Hang's major corporations, has been harming the environment for profit."
"Their chemical plant in the southern part of the city has been discharging large amounts of polluted water, causing severe damage..."
Wang Yixue was clearly aiming to publicly expose Dragon Morning Group.
After her bold statement,
The Tang and Qin families also brought up other issues concerning Dragon Morning Group.
The three families launched a full-on attack in front of the entire Su Hang Chamber of Commerce, forcing everyone to ponder a crucial question.
Was it time to pick a side?
If Dragon Morning Group were to fall, it would leave behind a massive opportunity.
Many began to weigh their options and quickly reached a conclusion.
It was time to act.
By the time the tense annual meeting concluded,
Dragon Morning Group's enemies had grown to include nearly half of Su Hang's business community.
After leaving the hotel, Old Master Qin didn't seem too concerned about the targeting of Dragon Morning Group.
Once he and his precious granddaughter were in the car, he hesitated before speaking.
After a moment of thought, he finally said, "Kexin, what was going on between you and that Tang family boy today?"
When the two of them were sitting together playing the piano,
The look of pure happiness on her face was impossible to miss, even for a blind man.
Before Qin Kexin could answer, Qin Ming chimed in.
"Come on, Grandpa, why even ask? My sister obviously has a thing for Tang Yu. They're a perfect match, a real power couple."
He barely finished his sentence before getting whacked with a cane. Old Master Qin glared at him.
"Your sister is a perfect match, but you're just a mess, huh? If you keep bringing women home and causing trouble, I'll kick you out of the Qin family."
Qin Ming winced in pain, forcing a sheepish grin and pretending to be clueless.
Seeing her grandfather's gaze on her,
Qin Kexin bit her lip and admitted, "Grandpa, I... do have feelings for Tang Yu."
"Well, you should've said so earlier! I could've settled this before the Su family got involved."
Old Master Qin adored his granddaughter dearly.
He sighed, "But you've seen it yourself. That Tang boy is already engaged to Muyue. It's not the right time anymore..."
"There's no such thing as the wrong time. They're not married yet."
Qin Kexin's tone was firm.
Once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't let it go easily!
...
Old Master Wang shared a similar sentiment.
That Tang boy was indeed impressive, but he was already engaged.
"Alright, Grandpa, just focus on taking care of yourself. Don't worry about this. Your granddaughter will get what she wants."
Facing her grandfather's well-meaning advice, Wang Yixue just laughed and tossed her hair.
Hmph!
Tomorrow, she'd show up in a bunny girl outfit and go straight for him!
"Alright then."
Old Master Wang could only shake his head. Young people these days were far bolder than in his time.
...
"Muyue, you need to step up your game. Don't be as cold as before, understand?"
"Good men are always in high demand. Back in my day, I was even more popular than that Tang boy."
"Do you know how your mom managed to snag me?"
"She got me drunk, slept with me, and a few days later, she said she was pregnant with you. So..."
Su Chongshan was in the car, giving his daughter some advice.
The driver, overhearing this juicy gossip, nearly drove the car into a ditch.
Sir, since when did you get so bold?
Su Muyue's face turned bright red from embarrassment.
She glared at her father and said, "Can't you teach me something more appropriate?"
"Hey, a man knows what a man wants. I'm just looking out for you. Go have a drink with him tonight, got it?"
Su Chongshan insisted.
"..."
Su Muyue thought it might not be such a bad idea after all.
...
Back at the Tang residence, Tang Yu rushed to his room and called for Ling Han.
"Hehehe."
He gave her a look that said, "You know what's up."
Ling Han forced a stiff smile and sat down on the floor, skillfully massaging his head.
She had been staying at the Tang household for a while now, and things were going pretty well.
The Tang family treated their servants kindly, and she was living a comfortable life.
Except... this guy was getting more and more demanding.
Every day, he'd grumble in his mind about why she hadn't left yet, which both annoyed and amused her.
How could she possibly leave?
"Ah, this feels good. It's so much safer at home. The outside world is just too dangerous."
Tang Yu lay sprawled on her soft, fragrant lap.
It felt amazing, lying on her lap like this.
"Why is the outside world dangerous?"
Ling Han asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
Had Ye Chen sent someone to deal with Tang Yu? She hadn't heard anything about it.
"It's complicated. The world is a treacherous place."
Tang Yu sighed.
[These women are too dangerous. They're all after me.]
[In front of everyone, they were fighting over who got to hold my arm.]
[Now the whole of Su Hang is calling me a playboy. How am I supposed to pick up girls in the future?]
"..."
Ling Han rolled her eyes upon hearing his thoughts.
Just as Tang Yu was enjoying himself, his phone buzzed in his pocket.
He pulled it out and saw it was Tang Ruoyu calling.
"What's up?"
"Brother, do you have time now? It's about that thing I mentioned last time."
Tang Ruoyu's low voice came through the phone.
Tang Yu immediately perked up.
This traitor was finally making his move, huh?
"Sure, wait for me at the company. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up, Tang Yu grinned and stood up. He had been waiting for this guy to take the bait.
[So, you're sending the Death Squad to kill me, huh?]
[You scoundrel, I've been waiting for you to show your hand.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Ling Han's eyes flickered with worry.
She knew the strength of the Death Squad well. If all four of them worked together, even she wouldn't stand a chance.
Was Tang Yu really going to risk his life like this?
What if he ended up in their hands?
Seeing Tang Yu rush out of the room,
Ling Han hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow him.
She couldn't let anything happen to him!
Tang Yu wasn't in a hurry to confront Tang Ruoyu.
With the Immovable Wisdom King Technique, the Death Squad couldn't touch him.
The problem was, he didn't have any offensive capabilities.
So, he needed to bring some backup.
He had the tank, but he still needed the damage dealers!
