The capital, the heart of Hua Xia.
On one side, towering buildings and the ancient imperial city emitted new lights, forming a stark contrast with the bustling modern skyscrapers. On the constantly flowing roads, even though it was two in the morning, the city had not yet rested.
At this moment, in the living room of a private villa, a young man in a bathrobe sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. His handsome features, sharp sword-like eyebrows, and deep, wise eyes gave him an aura of depth and inscrutability.
"Boss, they failed!"
Another man in a suit, head bowed, spoke nervously.
"Oh!"
Ouyang Liqun, holding a wine glass in his left hand, slowly swirled the red liquid within. A natural smile played on his lips as he chuckled, "Even they can't deal with that Wan Yunting!"
The suited man kept his head down, trying to slow his heartbeat, not daring to breathe heavily.
"Young Master Qun, you're not asleep yet?"
At this moment, Fang Tai descended from the second floor, also wearing a bathrobe. Seeing the suited man, he said, "Daizi, you're back. By the way, how did things go? Did you take care of that kid?"
"Young Master Fang, they failed."
The suited man, nicknamed Daizi, turned slightly to Fang Tai and said.
"What, failed?"
Fang Tai's expression was shocked. He exclaimed, "How is that possible? Are Eddie Stevenson and the others raised on shit? What's the use of them if they can't even kill someone?"
"Young Master Fang, Eddie Stevenson and the others were killed, and some of their members were arrested by the police," Daizi said, lowering his head.
Fang Tai's eyes widened. "Did that kid do it all by himself?"
"Yes."
Daizi nodded and recounted the events of the night in detail. This made Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang, who had also come down, widen their eyes. They turned to look at Ouyang Liqun, who was lounging on the sofa, "Young Master Qun, what do we do now? Should we send more people after that kid?"
Ouyang Liqun raised his wine glass and downed the red wine in one gulp. He set down the glass and smiled, "Forget it, now is not the time for further complications!"
Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang exchanged glances and nodded, "That's right. The most important thing now is to help Young Master Qun's father ascend to that position!"
"But this matter cannot be let go just like that!"
Ouyang Liqun picked up a bottle of rare Comte placed beside him, poured it into a wine glass, and then continued to hold the glass, slowly swirling the fragrant red liquid. He smiled and said, "It's not convenient to act domestically. Let's send that kid abroad instead!"
"Let him go abroad willingly?"
Fang Tai was stunned, not understanding Ouyang Liqun's words.
"Boss, you mean... to make a move on Jiang Wenhao?" Daizi's eyes narrowed, as if he understood Ouyang Liqun's intention.
Only then did Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang realize, nodding repeatedly, "Let's do that. The United States is our territory. As long as that kid goes to the US, we'll make sure he never returns."
"Go on."
Ouyang Liqun's face always wore a smile, but his smile carried a terrifying aura that inspired fear.
"Yes."
Daizi nodded and turned to leave.
"By the way, Young Master Qun, what's the situation with your uncle? Is your grandfather really going to let him be the head of your Ouyang family?" Chen Guangyang asked curiously.
"Hmph, so what if he becomes the head!"
Fang Tai sat nearby, poured himself a glass of red wine, and said with a disdainful smirk, "Young Master Qun's uncle has only one daughter, and she is also ill. He doesn't have a son, so that branch of their family is considered finished. By then, the power of the Ouyang family will still fall into Young Master Qun's hands."
"That's true."
Chen Guangyang nodded.
Ouyang Liqun had returned from abroad this time with the intention of helping his father secure the position of Patriarch of their Ouyang family.
However, Ouyang Liqun's father, Ouyang Weizhi, was not competitive. In all aspects, he had lost to his elder brother, Ouyang Zhixin.
This time, the old Patriarch of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Tonghe, due to his advanced age, was preparing to pass on the position of Patriarch to one of his two sons!
However, Ouyang Liqun's elder brother, Ouyang Zhixin, only had one daughter, who suffered from a strange illness. She never left her room, and the outside world had never seen her. There wasn't even a photo of her as an adult. The only photos available to the public were of her as a child.
But Ouyang Liqun's father's lineage was different. Not only did he have Ouyang Liqun, but he also had two younger brothers. One was studying abroad, and the other was born to his father and another woman; he was only seven years old now.
Although Ouyang Weizhi's abilities were inferior to his elder brother Ouyang Zhixin's, he had a good son, Ouyang Liqun. This was why he was confident he could defeat his elder brother Ouyang Zhixin!
After all, the patriarch of a large family not only relied on his own abilities but also had to consider whether the descendants of his lineage had the ability to continue to lead the family to prosperity and glory in the future.
"But Young Master Qun, I heard that your uncle originally had a son. Is that true?" Chen Guangyang turned to Ouyang Liqun and asked curiously.
"Yes, he would be my cousin, one year older than me."
Ouyang Liqun sat with his legs crossed, leaning against the sofa, with a glass of wine in his left hand resting on his thigh. He smiled and said, "My father said that my uncle's son was lost shortly after he was born!"
"Lost?"
Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang were surprised and asked, "Has he never been found?"
Ouyang Liqun rolled his eyes at them and took a sip of his wine. Fang Tai glared at Chen Guangyang and snorted, "If he had been found, Young Master Qun's uncle would be the head of the Ouyang family now."
"That's true. Fortunately, he wasn't found."
Chen Guangyang smiled and then added, "Young Master Qun, your cousin is probably dead by now."
"Alright, let's go to bed."
Ouyang Liqun finished the wine in his glass, put it down, and got up to head upstairs.
Leaving Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang looking at each other, they quietly said, "If Young Master Qun's uncle's son wasn't dead and was found, wouldn't Young Master Qun be in a passive position?"
"Passive?"
Fang Tai disdainfully glanced at Chen Guangyang and said while drinking, "With Young Master Qun's abilities, how many people in this country do you think can match him?"
Chen Guangyang suddenly understood and nodded with a smile, "That's true. Young Master Qun really doesn't care about the position of Patriarch of their family."
"So, after helping out this time, we should return to the United States. It's too stifling here in China, where you can't do this and can't play that." Fang Tai also stood up after finishing his wine, patted his buttocks, and went upstairs.
Chen Guangyang quickly finished his drink and followed, grinning, "I've already been thinking about that woman Alice's big ass..."
Huadu City. The morning sun rose, and the hazy sunlight cast a golden glow on the tall buildings...
Cars flowed on the roads, and the breakfast shops on the streets were steaming. Office workers who woke up early to eat breakfast were rushing for the morning bus...
At the emergency department of Southern Hospital, doctors and nurses on the morning shift arrived to relieve their colleagues who had suffered from occupational diseases. During the half-hour break in the morning, everyone was also rushing to eat breakfast, lest they be too busy to eat.
In an ordinary hospital room, Fang Yanxi, who had been resting on the man's chest, gradually woke up. Seeing the man asleep, she realized she had slept in his arms for so long. She also noticed that the quilt was on her, and looking to the left of the man, she saw it was empty, with no quilt covering him.
Fang Yanxi quickly lifted the quilt from herself and covered Wan Yunting's left side, as he was injured in the left rib area.
"Mmm, you're awake."
The woman's movement also woke Wan Yunting.
Fang Yanxi got off him and sat on the edge of the bed, saying with a hint of complaint, "Why didn't you wake me up last night? Aren't you cold?"
Wan Yunting smiled and was about to sit up, but the woman stopped him. "What are you doing? Lie down properly..."
"I'm fine."
Wan Yunting ignored her advice, sat up, leaned against the headboard, spread his arms, and smiled, "These minor injuries are nothing to me. I'll be fine in a couple of days."
Fang Yanxi gave him a glare, got up, and went to pour him a glass of water. "Stop pretending. Stay in the hospital. The doctor still doesn't allow you to be discharged. You absolutely cannot leave, do you hear me?"
"I hear you, I'll listen to you, alright?"
Wan Yunting took the water she handed him and drank it down in gulps.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and his second brother's voice came through, "Third brother, are you awake?"
Fang Yanxi turned and opened the door. She saw Wan Dongming with Wang Chulin, and even Wan'er had been brought along. "Yanxi, you're still here."
"Yes, come in quickly."
Fang Yanxi smiled unnaturally and stepped aside to let Wan Dongming and the others in.
"Third Uncle..."
Wan'er, dressed in a princess dress, ran in and threw herself onto the hospital bed. The little girl said in a childish voice, "Why are you sick?"
"Haha, Wan'er is here too."
Wan Yunting sat up, hugged Wan'er with both hands, and lifted her to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Third brother, don't move. You're still injured..."
Seeing him hug Wan'er, Wan Dongming quickly said.
"It's fine, second brother, my injuries are not serious."
Wan Yunting held Wan'er. The little girl happily lay on his right side, giggling, "Third Uncle, shall I play with you?"
"Okay."
Wan Yunting smiled gently and pinched the little girl's cute nose.
"Alright Wan'er, you can come down now. Your third uncle is injured, and you can't move around on him."
Sister-in-law Wang Chulin went up, placed the thermos she was holding on the bedside table, and picked up Wan'er from Wan Yunting's arms. She smiled and said, "Third brother, I made you chicken soup and congee. Have some."
"Okay, sister-in-law. Thank you for getting up so early to make these." Wan Yunting smiled.
"We're family, no need to be polite."
Wang Chulin glanced at him, smiled gently, opened the thermos, took out the chicken soup and congee, and then took out a spoon for Wan Yunting. He saw Fang Yanxi still standing nearby and smiled, "Yanxi, you go back and wash up first. I'm fine."
Seeing that his second brother and sister-in-law had brought him food, Fang Yanxi felt relieved. "Okay, I'll come back later."
"Safe travels, Yanxi. Wan'er, quickly say goodbye to Aunt Yanxi." Wan Dongming held Wan'er and told her to speak.
The cute little girl also waved to Fang Yanxi, "Bye bye..."
"Bye bye."
Fang Yanxi's pretty face softened, and she waved her little hand at her, then left.
