"A raptor squad of unknown origin?"
After a while, Yuan Liangping tapped the table with his fingers and chuckled,
"You two don't need to worry. Since they're military, it won't be difficult to investigate them."
"If that Captain Qin is from the capital, then it's even easier. Young Master Xu is Old Master Chen's direct grandson. They wouldn't dare not give him face!"
Hearing Yuan Liangping's casual remark, Su Yingxia and Jiang Lizong breathed a sigh of relief.
"That would be for the best!"
Su Yingxia and Yuan Liangping exchanged a glance, their faces flushing slightly. She said, "Then Yingxia will be counting on Young Master Yuan and Young Master Xu."
"Miss Su is too kind."
Yuan Liangping's eyes flickered as he noticed Su Yingxia's shy demeanor.
Then, he changed the subject and suddenly asked, "I heard your ex-husband's name is Chen Fan?"
Su Yingxia's expression stiffened.
She hadn't expected Yuan Liangping to bring up Chen Fan.
To her, in this kind of setting, Chen Fan was like an ugly scar on her, making her feel ashamed.
However, she certainly couldn't lash out at Yuan Liangping, so she could only explain, "Due to my late grandfather's coercion, I was indeed married to Chen Fan, who entered the Su family through marriage. But my marriage to him was purely nominal, and we are now divorced."
Unbeknownst to her, the silent woman on the sofa suddenly sat up straight, a look of hatred in her eyes.
"I know about that."
Yuan Liangping smiled. "I just wanted to understand from Miss Su what kind of person Chen Fan is, and if he has any special background?"
Su Yingxia blinked, then shook her head dismissively.
"Chen Fan is a useless good-for-nothing. What background could he possibly have? Besides doing laundry, cooking, and delivering takeout, he can't do anything else. Even with a nominal marriage, I've had enough. Every day felt like living in hell."
She paused, then said with disgust, "Young Master Yuan, did that loser offend you? You don't need to worry about my relationship with him. It would be best if you taught him a good lesson, and also helped me vent my anger. That loser wasted three years of my youth!"
Not only was she distancing herself from Chen Fan, but she also didn't forget to encourage Yuan Liangping to deal with him.
Yuan Liangping was greatly surprised by this and glanced at the woman on the sofa.
The woman listened to Su Yingxia's words with disbelief.
She seemed to be recalling something, and in her eyes, besides hatred, there was also deep fear.
And the source of the fear was precisely the useless Chen Fan that Su Yingxia spoke of.
She was none other than Yuan Fangfei. Her face was still swollen from the dozen or so slaps she received the night before last, so she was wrapped up tightly.
Although she hated Chen Fan to the bone, she found what Su Yingxia said difficult to understand.
The Chen Fan described by Su Yingxia seemed like a completely different person from the Chen Fan she saw the night before last, the one who left her with indelible psychological trauma.
Could it be a mere coincidence of names?
Yuan Liangping clearly realized the problem. He smiled and said, "Miss Su, I do have some dealings with Chen Fan. Miss Su, is your ex-husband truly good for nothing?"
"Who could know him better than I do?" Su Yingxia said disdainfully. "Besides freeloading and bringing bad luck to anyone he encounters, what other merits does he have?"
Yuan Liangping did not doubt Su Yingxia's words.
After all, even if it was a fake marriage, how could three years not lead to understanding?
So where was the problem?
After some thought, Yuan Liangping said, "It's not that I don't believe Miss Su, but I want to confirm clearly. How is Chen Fan's combat ability?"
Su Yingxia's expression soured as if she had eaten a fly. After a moment of silence, she said, "That guy is rough and uncouth. His fighting skills might be a bit better than average."
So it was the same person?
Yuan Liangping tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "Does Miss Su know where to find him?"
"You've asked the right person."
Su Yingxia chuckled. "He lives in Villa No. 1 of Xiangshan Tanfu. But that villa belongs to someone else. He got lucky and got the chance to house-sit."
Yuan Liangping said, "I was just wondering how to find him. Thank you, Miss Su, for the information."
Despite saying this, he asked thoughtfully, "What about the owner of Villa No. 1? Does Miss Su know anything about them?"
Su Yingxia blinked and shook her head, "This, I don't know!"
"Thank you, Miss Su, for the information. Please rest for a while, I need to make a call. We'll have dinner together later!"
Yuan Liangping said with a smile as he stood up.
Su Yingxia's eyes lit up. Having dinner with Yuan Liangping was an opportunity that many in Hangjiang couldn't even dream of.
Yuan Liangping did go to make calls. In the adjacent room, he made several calls, asking people to investigate the identity of the owner of Villa No. 1 in Xiangshan Tanfu, as well as information about the raptor squad.
As the top young master of Jiangbei, his reputation was not built on family background, but on his own ability and talent.
Otherwise, there were several wealthy families in Jiangbei comparable to the Yuan family. Those young masters would not have been convinced by him.
"Liangping, send someone to that villa and kill that Chen Fan first!"
Yuan Fangfei also followed him, saying with hatred from behind Yuan Liangping.
"Sister, there's no need to rush this."
Yuan Liangping said, "Once I've investigated Chen Fan's background, I will definitely avenge you and Zije."
"You're too cautious."
Yuan Fangfei gritted her teeth and said, "The night before last, everyone was intimidated by that surnamed Chen. Su Yingxia was his wife for three years. No one knows that surnamed Chen better than she does."
"If he had no background, would he dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous?"
Yuan Fangfei was somewhat speechless.
"Sister, I promise you that I will not let Chen Fan off the hook, but I have my own way of doing things."
Yuan Liangping put his arm around Yuan Fangfei's waist and sniffed her neck, saying,
"That Chen Fan should be a pawn. The person behind him is the owner of Villa No. 1."
"Hangjiang has been a bit turbulent lately. We can't be too careless."
Yuan Fangfei said hatefully, "Then how long do I have to wait?"
"You don't have to wait long. When Young Master Xu arrives with the might of the Chen family from the capital, I will use his power to control all of Hangjiang. By then, a mere Chen Fan, you can make him die however you wish!"
Yuan Fangfei was then somewhat appeased and said softly, "That's my good brother. Sister is waiting for you to avenge her!"
Just as Yuan Liangping was about to speak, his phone rang.
"Young Master Xu, have you landed?"
He picked up the phone and said a few words, then chuckled, "I've looked into it. Miss Su's matter is not a big trouble; it can be resolved with a single word from you."
"A small local family, how can any big trouble be worth mentioning in front of you? Just think of it as a trip for sightseeing."
"I've arranged everything. I guarantee you'll be so captivated you won't want to leave. We're just waiting for you to come!"
Hanging up the phone, Yuan Liangping smiled. "See? They say everything is ready except for the east wind. Now, the east wind we've been waiting for has blown to Hangjiang."
"The sky of Hangjiang is about to change!"
