"Consequences? What consequences do you think your little company will face!"
The middle-aged man said coldly, then walked directly into the elevator, followed by his two bodyguards.
"Security, someone is causing trouble!"
The receptionist, seeing the middle-aged man's arrogance, immediately shouted. Soon, two security guards walked over and blocked the middle-aged man.
"Sir, Black Dragon Capital is not a place for troublemaking. Please leave!"
The one speaking was none other than the security captain, Han Xiao.
"Leave? Who do you think you are to tell me to leave? Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death?"
The middle-aged man roared coldly, utterly disregarding Han Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao's expression turned cold instantly, but he still spoke politely, "Sir, please don't make things difficult for me, or I will have to be impolite to you!"
"Impolite? With you? That's hilarious!"
"Take him down, this arrogant son of a b*tch!"
The middle-aged man roared at his two bodyguards.
One of the bodyguards immediately clenched his fist and swung it towards Han Xiao.
Han Xiao, of course, was not to be trifled with, and he soon engaged in a scuffle with the middle-aged man.
The bodyguard initially thought he had Han Xiao defeated, but after a few moves, he realized Han Xiao's techniques were incredibly sharp and he was no match for him. He was quickly punched in the chest by Han Xiao and defeated in an instant!
"Huh? A mere security guard is this powerful? It seems Black Dragon Capital truly has hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"You go and spar with him!"
The middle-aged man said to the other bodyguard.
"Yes, boss!"
The other man sneered, stepped forward, and engaged Han Xiao. His techniques were naturally far superior to the previous bodyguard's, his every move sharp and ruthless, targeting vital spots. Tricks like "monkey stealing peaches" and "black tiger digging heart" were all employed. However, Han Xiao had learned the Black Dragon Guard's martial arts from Lu Yang. Despite the bodyguard's cunning and viciousness, Han Xiao handled him for over ten moves before kicking him in the groin. The bodyguard collapsed to his knees, clutching himself.
"Kid, you've successfully angered me!"
Seeing that Han Xiao had defeated both his subordinates, the middle-aged man's expression changed. Just as he was about to make a move, Shen Yiman suddenly emerged from the elevator. Upon seeing the middle-aged man, she exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, how did you find me here?"
Shen Yiman had a strained relationship with her father, so after returning from the United States, she did not go back to the Shen family. Instead, she came to Mo Bei City and became the general manager of Black Dragon Capital. Her Shen family was considered a second-tier family in Yan Jing. With assets in the tens of billions, while not comparable to prominent families like the Bai or Xiao families, they were still quite significant.
"You still know I'm your father?"
"After graduating from the United States, you didn't return to the Shen family, yet you chose to work for this small company? What are you thinking?"
The middle-aged man shouted at Shen Yiman.
"Dad, I don't want to return to the Shen family. I want to forge my own path through my own efforts. I don't want to be looked down upon by any member of the Shen family!"
Shen Yiman said coldly.
"Just you? And this small company? I've already investigated. You're not even the legal representative of this small company; you're just an employee, a hired hand, to put it bluntly. How can you ever achieve anything working here?"
"Listen to me, return to the Shen family. I've already arranged a marriage for you with Bai Wanli of the Bai family in Yan Jing. As long as you marry Bai Wanli, everyone in the Shen family will have to treat you with respect!"
Shen Ronghua continued to speak coldly.
"Bai Wanli of the Bai family?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I won't use my marriage as a bargaining chip, and I won't go back with you!"
Just as Shen Yiman and Shen Ronghua were arguing fiercely, Lu Yang, having heard the commotion, walked out and happened to step out of the elevator.
"He is my boyfriend. I will only marry him, and no one can stop me!"
Shen Yiman saw Lu Yang, immediately stepped forward, and linked her arm through his, saying.
"Him?"
"Shen Yiman, do you think I'll indulge your recklessness just because you found a random man to impersonate your boyfriend? I'm giving you one day. If you don't return, don't blame me for being harsh!"
"And you, kid, stay away from my daughter. If I ever find out you've done anything to her, I will tear you limb from limb!"
Shen Ronghua turned his gaze to Lu Yang and said coldly.
"Your daughter likes me, and we are in love. What right do you have to be angry? Do you think just because you're her father, you can do whatever you want? You're too arrogant!"
"This is the twenty-first century; arranged marriages are out of fashion. I think you should respect your daughter's wishes!"
Lu Yang originally had no intention of getting involved in this mess, but seeing Shen Ronghua disrespect him so much, he immediately said coldly.
"Haha, kid, you have backbone. It's been many years since someone dared to speak to me like that. I hope to see you with the same backbone tomorrow at this time!"
Shen Ronghua, after hearing Lu Yang's words, erupted into laughter out of anger. He then left Black Dragon Capital with his two subordinates.
Seeing Shen Ronghua leave, Shen Yiman seemed to deflate like a leaky balloon, becoming instantly dispirited.
"What's wrong?"
"Was that really your dad?"
Lu Yang asked Shen Yiman.
"Mm!"
Shen Yiman nodded.
"Damn it, what are you going to do? It looks like your dad is serious this time. Why don't you just go along with your dad's wishes and leave with him? After all, he is your father!"
Lu Yang asked Shen Yiman softly.
"Lu Yang, what do you mean? You keep saying we are in love, and now you're pushing me into a fire pit. What do you really want?"
Hearing this, Shen Yiman immediately asked Lu Yang indignantly.
"I... I was just playing along earlier, thinking it was a fake. I didn't expect it to be real!"
Lu Yang said with an awkward smile.
"I don't care. You already admitted it just now, you're my boyfriend, and you have to be responsible for me from now on!"
Shen Yiman continued.
"Sigh, what a mess!"
Lu Yang exclaimed helplessly and went to the parking lot to head home.
As soon as he started the car, Shen Yiman directly got in.
"I'm going to Cloud Top Villa too. I'll be living there for a while, and no one can force me out!"
"You have to pick me up and take me home every day from now on. Otherwise, if my dad catches me, I'll hate you forever!"
Shen Yiman said directly to Lu Yang.
"Uh... alright!"
Lu Yang's expression turned dark. Who could he blame, as he had spoken so carelessly just now? It was only reasonable for Shen Yiman to latch onto him now.
Soon, Lu Yang took Shen Yiman directly back to Cloud Top Villa.
