"My disciple was beaten?"
In a bright room, an old man suddenly slapped the table and stood up abruptly.
The old man's name was Yang Dongtian, the thirteenth-generation successor of the Yang family's Tiger Claw style. He was quite famous in Shangjing. The strong man Yang Guang, who was knocked unconscious by Li Chonglou, was his son and disciple.
Normally, he would refer to them as master and disciple in front of outsiders. Although he claimed to be fair and just on the surface, everyone knew how much he doted on his son. His protectiveness was even more renowned throughout Shangjing than his own reputation!
Huang Zigang's father, Huang Tao, was an old acquaintance of his and owed him a favor. That was why he had his son take on the task of protecting Huang Zigang, which was both easy and lucrative.
He had intended for his son to rest and earn some pocket money. Little did he expect to receive news tonight that his son had been beaten and brought into the hospital!
Yang Dongtian couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately gathered his most capable subordinates and rushed to the hospital where Yang Guang was.
Soon, he learned from Huang Zigang that the person who had injured his son was just a passerby!
"I don't care what method you use, I want you to find the person within twelve hours!"
Yang Dongtian stared at Huang Zigang with cold eyes. Huang Zigang was already sweating nervously. Although the old man looked to be over sixty, he didn't dare to even look him in the eye, for fear of angering him.
Huang Zigang didn't know about others, but this old man truly might kill him! And this was a possibility even if he didn't anger the old man. If he did, it would be a hundred percent certainty!
It wasn't until Yang Dongtian sternly dismissed him from the hospital room that Huang Zigang finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"You're asking me what to do? I paid you to do this, and you're asking me?"
As soon as the burly man spoke, Huang Zigang immediately vented all his anger onto him. The latter's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After venting his frustration, Huang Zigang's expression slightly softened. As he walked out, he said, "Let's find Yu Ke first! Since he could arrange to meet the other party, he must have their contact information!"
Huang Zigang was now filled with regret. If he had known Li Chonglou possessed such strength, he would never have let Yang Guang provoke him! Now, not only did he have to bear the wrath and coldness of Old Master Yang, but he also had to expose his tracking of Yu Ke!
If this situation were a gamble, he had already lost everything!
"Damn it, who exactly is that guy? Yang Guang, such a monstrous existence, couldn't even last a single move against him!"
Huang Zigang muttered curses, but he didn't dare to say them in front of Yang Dongtian. He knew the old man's temper very well. If he found out that his beloved son and disciple couldn't even last a single move against the opponent, who knew how furious he would become.
If the old man actually lost his temper and attacked him, Huang Zigang would have no choice but to suffer in silence, not daring to make a sound!
Therefore, this matter must not be revealed to him in person. No, he would never see them again from now on!
The aura Yang Dongtian exuded just now made him feel as if he was facing not a sixty-year-old man, but a beast that could end his life at any moment!
Therefore, Huang Zigang had made up his mind! As long as he helped find the person, he would never see the father and son again!
It was already past ten o'clock at night, and Yu Ke was about to wash up and go to bed when her room door was suddenly knocked.
"Who?"
Yu Ke, wearing her pajamas, held her phone in front of her and asked vigilantly. She didn't know anyone here besides Li Chonglou, so normally no one would knock on her door at this hour!
After all, I didn't order takeout or buy any express delivery!
Yu Ke nervously placed her hand on the phone's keypad. A phone number was displayed, and she could dial it with a single press. However, this number was not a three-digit number, but Li Chonglou's phone number.
At this moment, she felt that Li Chonglou was more reliable than calling the police!
"It's me, miss. Someone wanted to see you, and I stopped them. Do you want to meet?"
So it was someone she knew. Yu Ke immediately relaxed and then felt a sense of helplessness. Had she already lost so much freedom that even tracking her was just a formality...
The tone of the man outside the door sounded extremely natural, without any sense of intrusion. Even Yu Ke's first reaction wasn't anger or surprise at being followed...
However, she soon accepted the reality, or perhaps she had already accepted it, and directly asked.
"Who?"
"Young Master Huang, also Miss's..."
"Shut up!"
Yu Ke immediately stopped him.
"I won't see him! Tell him to give up. I won't marry him!"
Yu Ke turned away angrily, but the voice outside the door suddenly sounded somewhat troubled.
"Miss, he said it's an urgent matter, not about the marriage alliance. It seems to be about your friend, he wants to..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was opened by Yu Ke.
Suddenly involving Li Chonglou, how could she not take it seriously?
"What happened to my friend? Why does he want to see him?"
Yu Ke asked in a low, unfriendly voice. The man quickly waved his hand.
"Then I'll bring the person over, miss. Please rest assured, we'll guard here!"
A moment later, Huang Zigang, followed by the man, came before Yu Ke.
"Can we talk inside?"
"No, you can say whatever you need to here!"
Yu Ke directly refused. Their relationship was already not normal. If he entered her house and rumors spread, she would truly never be able to clear her name.
Huang Zigang felt indignant at being refused, and a nameless anger surged in his heart. For a moment, his tone became impatient.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Your friend injured Old Master Yang's beloved son, and now Old Master Yang wants to see him."
Yu Ke's expression was stunned, and then she reacted to who the Old Master Yang mentioned by Huang Zigang was. Her face instantly changed.
"Are you talking about Old Yang Dongtian?"
"Who else could it be? There's no need to say anything else. Either you notify him, or you give me his contact information, and I'll notify him myself."
Yu Ke, in her shock, also said with some uncertainty, "Are you telling the truth or not? When did this happen? And how could Brother Li get into a conflict with Old Yang's son?"
