The Yuwen family residence was a sprawling estate.
The Yuwen family was an emerging force that had risen in prominence over the past few decades. Primarily focused on commerce, the family possessed considerable wealth.
The entire compound exuded grandeur, with numerous two and three-story pavilions dotting the grounds.
In this Kyoto, where every inch of land was precious, the Yuwen family's estate projected an aura of immense affluence.
A limited edition sports car arrived and parked outside the estate.
Yuwen Hao entered the compound with a thunderous expression.
Servants who were busy with their tasks greeted him.
While the Yuwen family had many young members, only two were considered true direct descendants, and Yuwen Hao was one of them, holding a significant position within the family.
"Young Master Two has returned. Oh, Young Master Two, what happened to your face?" an old butler asked in surprise.
Yuwen Hao's face was severely swollen on one side. Already seething with anger, he couldn't help but let out a grunt.
He paused his steps and asked in a low voice, "Has my brother returned yet?"
The old butler explained, "Young Master One returned a while ago and is currently speaking with the Patriarch in the study."
Yuwen Hao nodded, saying no more. A glint flashed in his eyes.
His brother, Yuwen Chengji, had returned!
"You, Ye, I will make sure you have no place to rest in peace!" Yuwen Hao gritted his teeth and thought hatefully.
Half an hour later!
A man entered Yuwen Hao's pavilion. Yuwen Hao, who had been waiting, was delighted. "Brother, you're finally back. Why did you take so long on this outing?"
"Yes, this mission was rather special, so it took longer!" the man replied, nodding.
The man was handsome, possessing the air of a domineering CEO from an idol drama, but his eyes were sharp, and he carried a unique demeanor that most young masters lacked.
This was Yuwen Chengji, the eldest son of the Yuwen family, and currently the most valued young member within the clan.
He was also one of the squad leaders of Team B. The first squad he led consistently ranked at the top in terms of achievements among all the squads.
Furthermore, Yuwen Chengji's strength and potential had both garnered attention from the Hidden Division.
He was a true prodigy!
In contrast, Yuwen Hao, his own brother, was a typical prodigal son, excelling only in indulgence, entertainment, and pursuing female celebrities, with no significant accomplishments to his name.
Yuwen Hao asked curiously, "Brother, aren't you about to join the Hidden Division? What kind of special mission required you to undertake this?"
Yuwen Chengji frowned. "Don't ask too many questions about the Dragon Group! Now, what did you need me for? Hmm? What happened to your face?"
He had only just noticed his younger brother Yuwen Hao's left cheek was red and swollen.
Yuwen Hao gritted his teeth, grief-stricken. "Brother, you must help me! Someone, relying on his formidable strength, disregarded our Yuwen family and even laid hands on me!"
As a prominent family, they typically did not interfere in disputes between younger members unless they were particularly severe.
Therefore, Yuwen Hao had not approached the elders of the family but sought help from his brother.
Seeing his brother complain to him, Yuwen Chengji felt a sense of helplessness. He shook his head and sighed, "Was it Shangguan Yun who hit you? I've told you before, don't provoke him!"
The Yuwen family, like the Shangguan family, was one of the Eight Great Families. Thus, even if Shangguan Yun had struck Yuwen Hao, it could only be blamed on his own lack of capability!
Yuwen Hao shook his head. "It wasn't Shangguan Yun, it was some kid from out of town! This kid is very strong; even the four bodyguards I hired at great expense couldn't defeat him!"
Yuwen Chengji was taken aback. He knew about those four bodyguards; they were former elite soldiers with considerable strength!
Yet, this person could defeat four bodyguards simultaneously, a feat only achievable by members of the Dragon Group.
"Is he from the Dragon Group?"
"No! I've already investigated his background. This kid has no significant connections. Although he has interacted with Shangguan Yun, it's only a recent acquaintance!" Yuwen Hao stated with certainty.
Yuwen Chengji took a deep breath, looking at his brother and frowning. "Your temper needs to be adjusted. Don't always rely on your family background and act recklessly all the time."
"I cannot help you with this matter. I am currently in the assessment and observation phase for the Hidden Division. If I intervene to help you, it could affect my entry into the Hidden Division!"
"Brother!"
"However, I can have my subordinates handle it! Tell me, what is his name?" Yuwen Chengji added.
Yuwen Hao was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, brother. I knew you wouldn't stand by and do nothing! This kid's name is Ye Cangtian. He's from Yangzhou..."
"Wait!"
Yuwen Chengji raised his hand to interrupt him, his expression peculiar. "Ye Cangtian? Are you sure it's him?"
"It's him! What's wrong, brother?" Yuwen Hao suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Alas! Haozi, let's just drop this matter!"
Yuwen Chengji sighed and continued, "I received news today that one of the newly added members to the Dragon Group is named Ye Cangtian!"
That kid joined the Dragon Group?
Yuwen Hao's eyes widened in disbelief!
No wonder he dared to hit me today, no wonder he didn't put our Yuwen family in his eyes. He actually joined China's Dragon Group!
"The Dragon Group has clear regulations: members are not allowed to engage in conflict or harm colleagues. Any violation will be treated as rebellion!"
Yuwen Chengji glanced at his brother and said helplessly, "Just let it go. Taking a loss is also a good lesson for yourself!"
Just let it go like this?
Yuwen Hao gnashed his teeth. His left cheek still ached intensely. How could he just let it go?
Moreover, as the direct second young master of the prestigious Yuwen family, when had he ever endured such humiliation?
However, since his elder brother couldn't help him, Yuwen Hao was out of options. He could only find another way.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian was waiting for Tang Xinwan to finish work.
He hadn't given any thought to the matter concerning Yuwen Hao. He was, after all, a member of the Dragon Group now. If Yuwen Hao truly sought revenge, it would only be the latter who would suffer.
It was already ten o'clock at night when Tang Xinwan finally emerged from the office building.
"Why are you so late today?" Ye Cangtian asked helplessly, seeing Tang Xinwan's exhaustion.
Did this girl really disregard her own well-being for work?
Tang Xinwan rubbed her temples and shook her head. "These past two days have been a bit busy, but it will get better in a couple of days! Let's go, we'll take a taxi back to the hotel."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then said, "You're a wealthy boss, aren't you? We can't just keep taking taxis and staying in hotels. How about we buy a villa?"
Tang Xinwan couldn't help but roll her eyes and chide him playfully, "You certainly know how to enjoy yourself, buying a villa? The company's new branches require significant upfront investment. The city center of Kyoto is incredibly expensive; that would be a huge sum of money."
Besides, they weren't staying in Kyoto long-term, so purchasing property was unnecessary. Su Dan Novel Network
"However, buying a car is feasible, as we'll need transportation frequently in the early stages!"
Tang Xinwan thought for a moment and continued, "You handle the car purchase. You seem to have nothing to do all day anyway!"
Ye Cangtian shrugged. Buying a car was a trivial matter for him!
