"Honey, why did you leave without a word?"
While the Luo Dongyang family and Tang Pingfan stared in bewilderment, Shen Lang, with Wang Yuyan, had already arrived at the hospital entrance and gotten into the car.
Looking at Shen Lang, Wang Yuyan asked, confused, "Your aunt's family has always misunderstood you. You could have taken this opportunity to let them know you're not someone to be underestimated. I don't understand why you did that."
"It's simple, because I'm not on the same path as Jin Yulan and her family."
Shen Lang, stroking Wang Yuyan's head, smiled and said, "I don't like this family, in fact, I detest them. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have bothered with them at all. Since the person has been saved, there's no need to stay in the hospital."
"Yuyan, I know you don't like their family much either. If that's the case, then don't force yourself. I hope you always remain your most genuine self, don't endure unhappiness just because of some so-called ties."
"Honey..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan looked at him with a complex expression and said, "I really don't like my uncle and his family's ways much, but my uncle is a bond that my parents and I cannot sever. He is also my only relative besides Grandpa."
"Nonsense, you now have a husband and a family. We are all your relatives."
Shen Lang smiled at Wang Yuyan and said, "I promise you, after I finish the two things I'm currently dealing with, I'll go to the Luo family and bring your parents back."
"Really?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan's expression became excited, and she said.
"Of course, it's true. You are my wife. I would never lie to you, even if I lied to others."
Shen Lang kissed the corner of Wang Yuyan's lips and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too long. As long as your father and mother are still alive, I will definitely save them."
"Honey, thank you. It's so good to have you."
At this moment, Wang Yuyan truly felt that Shen Lang had her in his heart, a deep love. At least at this moment, she felt that besides Chu Ge, she was comparable to anyone in Shen Lang's heart.
Shen Lang smiled, then kissed Wang Yuyan again, and finally left the hospital with her, returning to the villa half an hour later.
However, as soon as Shen Lang entered the door and sat down, Yang Ce's call came.
"Hello, Ce Ge, what made you think of calling me? Is there something?"
Before, Wolong had been guarding the White Horse Club, so Wolong handled many matters himself, and Yang Ce hadn't called Shen Lang for a long time.
Shen Lang knew Yang Ce's capabilities. Yang Ce would usually handle minor issues himself. After all, Yang Ce had been in Nanling for so many years, and the title of King of Nanling was not for nothing.
"Brother Shen, something bad has happened. The Rong family has come to our door, demanding to see you. If you don't come, they will tear down the White Horse Club."
Yang Ce said, "I'm not calling you to rescue the situation, but to tell you not to come at all. There's an old monster among the Rong family who is not human at all. Over a hundred of us are like ants in front of him, and he easily crippled over a hundred people."
"Old monster?"
Hearing Yang Ce's description, Shen Lang smiled and said, "This is interesting. Since I broke through to the peak of the Earth realm, I met Master Shan Yuan, a top expert. I didn't expect another one to show up now."
"Ce Ge, listen carefully. Tell the brothers not to resist, to avoid causing casualties. Also, tell them I will rush to the White Horse Club as soon as possible. They can take their grievances out on me."
Shen Lang's feud with Rong Haodong was somewhat inexplicable, yet it was a deep-seated hatred.
The first time Rong Haodong brought people to cause trouble at the White Horse Club and injured Yang Junlin, Shen Lang stepped in, pierced the wrist of Rong Haodong's subordinate, Snake Lady, slapped Rong Haodong several times, extorted 10 billion from Rong Haodong and his cronies, and broke one finger from each of them.
Shen Lang intended to deter Rong Haodong and the others with his ruthlessness, hoping they would know their limits and not provoke the White Horse Club again. However, unexpectedly, Rong Haodong quickly returned, bringing the four elders of the Rong family – East, West, South, and North – for revenge.
The result was that Shen Lang and Wolong easily dealt with the people Rong Haodong brought, then extorted another 50 billion from Rong Haodong, causing him to lose face completely.
After suffering humiliation twice in a row, Rong Haodong clearly did not give up and came back with full force this time.
After Shen Lang hung up the phone, on the golf course of the White Horse Club, over a hundred subordinates of the White Horse Club lay severely injured, all spitting blood, their bones broken, and groaning in pain.
Yang Ce wasn't faring much better; his right foot was broken, but he endured the intense pain and didn't cry out.
In comparison, Ah Xiu was much worse off, his chest bone shattered by a punch. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his condition was unknown.
The instigator of all this was an old monk standing before them, looking at least eighty years old, wearing a large red kasaya, with a string of fist-sized Buddha statues around his neck, radiating murderous intent.
"Haha, as expected of Master Laughing Tathagata. You old man took action, and it was resolved in less than five minutes. Amazing."
While Yang Ce looked furious, Rong Haodong, dressed in white, walked up to the old monk, clasped his hands together, and said, "I suffered a great loss at the White Horse Club. Fortunately, you old man took action for me, otherwise, I don't know when I would have avenged this. Thank you, Master."
"Haha, Young Master Rong is too kind. You give us tens of billions every year. If you encounter trouble, how can we not act?"
The old monk looked at Rong Haodong and said, "The Buddha said, helping others is helping oneself. If Young Master Rong is well, we will also be well."
"Haha, Master is indeed a Master, truly understanding the way of worldly affairs."
Rong Haodong looked at the old monk and smiled, "Master, rest assured, the annual offerings will be ten times the current amount. I, Rong Haodong, will definitely not mistreat you."
"Then thank you, Young Master Rong."
The old monk looked at Rong Haodong with a grateful expression and said, "Young Master Rong is a benefactor. If you are wronged, even the Buddha would not stand by. From now on, if you need any help, just ask. This humble monk guarantees he will not refuse."
Saying that, the old monk asked, "How should Yang Ce be dealt with?"
"Yang Ce?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Haodong said with a playful look, "He is Shen Lang's man. Shen Lang has humiliated me repeatedly. Since Shen Lang hasn't arrived yet, let's deal with him first."
Rong Haodong looked at the old monk meaningfully and said, "I heard that before Master entered the Buddhist order, he was a pig butcher. I wonder if he has lost his skills over the years?"
"Haha, this humble monk is willing to resume his old profession for the old monk."
