"Brother Su, please speak."
"Give me detailed information about the person who betrayed Shi Wuzun back then."
"Alright, I'll have someone investigate immediately and send it to your phone tomorrow."
Su Yang nodded. Chu Tianye would also arrive tomorrow.
Once the negotiations began and Shi Wuzun was exchanged, the subsequent plan could proceed smoothly.
"Since that's the case, I'll be going back now."
"Brother Su, take care!"
Su Yang rode his bicycle back to the villa without looking back.
Shangguan Qianji held his teacup and blew on it gently.
The smile in his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth turned up. "Su Yang, I hope you don't disappoint me. Get rid of them soon!"
...
The front yard of the villa.
Yuan Kui and the other four were having a barbecue. They had called for the people inside several times with no response.
"What's wrong with Miss Cang Yue? She's been sulking all day. Who upset her?"
"Who else could it be? Yesterday, she and the boss were in the same room, alone. The bed boards even broke, didn't you hear it?"
"No, I went to bed early last night. But, did you guys record it? I want to hear the boss's prowess."
"Who would dare to record it? It's good enough that we can eavesdrop for a thrill. If we really did that, the boss would twist your neck off."
The few of them chatted about last night's events while eating barbecue.
Su Yang rode his bicycle back and didn't see Sakata Cang Yue either.
"Shen Qiu, where is Cang Yue?"
"Boss, she's sulking in her room!"
"Alright, I'll go see what's going on with her."
After finishing his business, Su Yang finally remembered that Sakata Cang Yue hadn't said a word all day. She was probably still angry about last night.
...
In the room.
Sakata Cang Yue stood motionless, looking out at the garden, sighing occasionally and feeling joyful at others.
—Knock, knock, knock!
"Cang Yue, I'm coming in."
Hearing Su Yang's voice, Sakata Cang Yue quickly rushed to the bed and pretended to be asleep.
After Su Yang entered, he saw that she was sleeping with her shoes on and thought she was very tired. He directly took off her shoes for her.
"Cang Yue, I was impulsive last night. I apologize to you."
From under the covers, Sakata Cang Yue opened her eyes. She gritted her teeth but remained silent.
"Actually, I should have taken safety precautions. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be like your sister and get pregnant at first sight."
Hearing this, Sakata Cang Yue grabbed a pillow and threw it at Su Yang.
"You scoundrel! You took my first time, and now you're saying I'm not worthy of having your son?"
"Hehehe, so you were pretending to sleep. You're such a mischievous one!"
Su Yang pounced on her, pressing down on Sakata Cang Yue's thigh, making her grit her teeth in pain.
"Scoundrel! Don't you know my leg hurts?"
"Oh, oh, sorry. I'll be gentler next time."
"As if there'll be a next time!"
Sakata Cang Yue turned her head and slept on her side, her face flushed and her ears burning, not daring to meet Su Yang's eyes.
"They're barbecuing. Do you want to go eat something?"
"I'm not hungry. If you want to go, you go."
"Alright, call me if you need anything."
Su Yang kissed her earlobe, startling Sakata Cang Yue even more. She immediately recoiled and hid under the covers.
Su Yang returned to the front yard and joined Yuan Kui and the others for barbecue.
Yuan Kui was gnawing on a whole leg of lamb, with bones scattered all over the ground.
His appetite alone was equivalent to that of Shen Qiu and the other three combined.
Chewing on the lamb leg, Yuan Kui asked, "Boss, with the five of us, plus the Dragon Blood Legion brought by Chu Tianye, can we directly confront the Shangguan family?"
Su Yang shook his head, indicating that it wouldn't be so smooth. He also knew that the Shangguan family had stood for a thousand years in Dragon Country and had deep foundations.
Relying solely on his own strength was still too weak.
"This time, the main purpose is to rescue someone. We need to minimize combat as much as possible. However, Kyoto is their territory, so be careful, you guys."
"We understand. Anyway, wherever the boss goes, we'll follow."
The five of them, Yuan Kui, only ate barbecue. After arriving in Kyoto, they didn't dare to drink any alcohol, maintaining their clear minds in case of an attack.
...
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.
After everyone had eaten their fill, they prepared to take turns resting.
At this moment, several cars drove up from not far away.
Yuan Kui stood up and positioned himself at the main entrance.
A group of people got out of the cars. The leader was a middle-aged man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and cloth shoes, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
"Are you Su Yang's people?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Shangguan family, Shangguan Mingjing!"
Shangguan Mingjing clasped his hands behind his back, a proud expression on his face as he announced his name.
Yuan Kui frowned. "What do you want?"
"Tell Su Yang to come and see me. You are not qualified to talk business with me!"
"Arrogant!"
Yuan Kui clenched his fists, but decided against acting rashly for now to avoid disrupting Su Yang's plan.
Yuan Kui winked at Mo Gaowei beside him, who quickly ran back into the villa to inform Su Yang.
"Boss, people from the Shangguan family are here again."
"How many are there?"
"About thirty people. They haven't made a move, and they say they have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, I understand."
Inside the house, Su Yang patted Sakata Cang Yue's slender waist, put on his clothes, and walked into the courtyard.
Shangguan Mingjing squinted his eyes. This was the first time he had seen Su Yang, and he was slightly surprised.
Such a young opponent. The clan leader, Shangguan Zhongtang, had repeatedly warned them not to underestimate Su Yang.
"Su Yang, my clan leader's intention is for you to hand over Young Master Yi, and keep Yuan Kui and the other four. You can go back to Songhai."
Su Yang scratched his ear. "Yuan Kui, tell me, why do some people like to dream in broad daylight?"
"Hahaha, your subordinate also finds the noise in his ears annoying. Shall I beat him to death?"
"Yuan Kui, how dare you speak such nonsense!"
Shangguan Mingjing raised his hand and struck Yuan Kui with a palm. The latter advanced instead of retreating and countered with a punch.
—Bang!
Shangguan Mingjing was shaken back a few steps by Yuan Kui's strength. He was completely dumbfounded.
The intelligence mentioned that Yuan Kui and the other four were D-class prisoners from Songhai Prison.
It had taken a great deal of manpower and resources for the Songhai authorities to capture the five of them. Today's battle revealed the power of D-class prisoners.
Shangguan Mingjing shook his hand and attacked Yuan Kui again.
The two exchanged blows, palm against fist, in a back-and-forth offense and defense.
Shen Qiu asked curiously, "Boss, what do you think the Shangguan family is up to? They sent their death squad yesterday, and now they're sending people to spar. Shouldn't they just open fire?"
"I don't know why yet. Let's wait and see!"
Su Yang couldn't figure it out either. Logically speaking, the Shangguan family was full of talented people and had many privately trained squads.
Why didn't they open fire? Could it be that they were afraid Su Yang would fight to the death and kill Shangguan Yi?
Just as he was lost in thought, the battle between Shangguan Mingjing and Yuan Kui had concluded.
"Yuan Kui, I admit defeat today. We will meet again in the future."
Shangguan Mingjing held his drooping right hand, his face pale, clearly having sustained a serious injury.
With that, Shangguan Mingjing waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to drive away.
Yuan Kui looked at Su Yang. "Boss, what do you say?"
"Of course, we'll make sure he never returns. However, let them get a bit further away before we act, so as not to pollute the environment!"
