Seeing Yang Cheng's indifferent face, Yang Pojun felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. After a lot of investigations and seeing with his own eyes, he had a general understanding of Yang Cheng's identity and background.
Although he didn't want to admit it, his eldest son, whom he thought he would never see again in this life, was indeed more important than him now!
Moreover, if the Yang Family wanted to continue to be one of the four big families after Yang Gongming's death, they might have to rely on Yang Cheng's help.
Especially when he had lost the election, his father, Yang Gongming, had scolded him more than once for Yang Cheng. No matter how stupid Yang Pojun was, he knew that Yang Cheng was very important to the Yang Family.
Of course, Yang Pojun also thought that if it weren't for Yang Cheng's sudden appearance, he wouldn't have lost the election!
Therefore, Yang Pojun didn't want the relationship between him and Yang Cheng to worsen, but he couldn't put on a good face to Yang Cheng. When he went to find Guo Xuehua, he was stopped by Yang Cheng at the door, which was a contradictory example.
For half of his life, he had spent most of his time on how to make the Yang Family glorious. Therefore, when he thought about the relationship between him and Yang Cheng, he thought about the value and interests behind a person, but he didn't think about how to treat his son as a father, let alone compensate Yang Cheng for his fatherly love.
When he placed Yang Cheng in the orphanage, Yang Pojun didn't think he did anything wrong. For the sake of the overall situation of the Yang Family, he cut the Gordian knot and was selfless.
It was this kind of thinking that only wanted to push himself to the right position that made Yang Pojun unable to understand why his beloved wife would leave him.
It had to be said that this was also the sorrow of this high-ranking military officer, a descendant of a large family.
"Where are you going?" Yang Pojun asked coldly as he stopped in front of Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng frowned. He stopped in his tracks and said indifferently, "Move."
"I've heard about it from your aunt," Yang Pojun's gaze was solemn as he said, "For the sake of a mere merchant's daughter, you're going to kill someone so viciously. Don't you understand that the Lu family is so easily provoked? Do you know that behind them is one of the Four Great Clans, the Li Clan! "
Yang Cheng was not interested in listening to this man's nonsense. He originally wanted to consider preparing some backup plans to deal with the possible counterattack of the Li family, but Yang Pojun's cold and threatening words directly caused the scarlet in his eyes to surge.
The more you try to stop me, the more I want to kill you!
"You came at the right time, it saves me the trouble of stopping a taxi. The military license plate can also be used for speeding," Yang Cheng glanced at the military jeep behind the soldier and walked over.
Yang Pojun did not expect that Yang Cheng would not even reply to him and even wanted to snatch the jeep to chase after them. He was instantly enraged and said with a dark face, "Unfilial son! How dare you! Do you want the Yang Family to fall out with the Li family because of you!? "
Yang Cheng turned around abruptly, his eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent, "Let me tell you, I have nothing to do with you. If you dare to say one more word, I will cripple one of your hands. If you say two more words, I will cripple both of your legs. If you say three more words, I will break your neck!"
Even though Yang Pojun had seen bloody battles at the border, he had never seen someone look at him with such an extremely ferocious and gloomy gaze!
It was as if he was standing under a gray sky filled with corpses, unable to find any signs of life and despair emerged from the bottom of his heart!
He did not know that if he was not Yang Cheng's biological father and involved too many people around Yang Cheng, his words just now would be enough for Yang Cheng to kill him!
However, Yang Cheng's warning was obviously effective. Yang Pojun stood there with a pale face and did not say a word.
The soldiers were burning with anger. This young man was too arrogant and they had to teach him a lesson on behalf of their leader.
Who knew that when Yang Cheng's gaze swept across them, everyone's hands went limp and they did not even have the strength to raise their guns, not to mention stopping Yang Cheng.
When Yang Cheng walked past, the few of them subconsciously opened up a path for Yang Cheng to find a jeep and get in.
He could only watch as the jeep started up and sped away …
Yan Jing, the military compound where the Yang Family resided.
In the spacious back garden, green grass and flowers bloomed like a brocade. It was obvious that someone was diligently taking care of the garden.
Yang Gongming, who was wearing an old-fashioned grey shirt and a pair of linen pants, was sitting on a rattan chair. He held the morning paper in his hand and wore a pair of presbyopic glasses as he carefully read the news from various fields.
There was only a white porcelain cup beside the old man. The fragrant tea was faint and white steam rose from it. It was freshly brewed hot tea.
The entire courtyard was quiet. Although the old man looked kind and amiable, and no one would feel pressured, everyone in the Yang residence knew that when Yang Gongming was quietly reading, no one but one person was allowed to disturb him.
Sanniang, an old woman with a face full of wrinkles, walked out from between the pillars of the courtyard. She carried a plate of fresh mung bean pastries and gently placed it on the table beside Yang Gongming.
Yang Gongming put down the newspaper and smiled warmly at Sanniang. "You've worked hard. Have a seat, I haven't talked to you for a while."
"Master, don't you read the newspaper?" Sanniang smiled warmly, the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
"Most of the things in the newspaper are fake. Whether I read it or not, it's just to pass the time." Yang Gongming put the newspaper aside and asked, "Tell me, what's going on outside recently? This old man doesn't go out all day, I can't really be a frog at the bottom of a well."
Sanniang nodded and sat on another rattan chair.
In this courtyard, only she had the right to sit on the same level as Yang Gongming.
"There hasn't been much happening in Yan Jing recently. After the election, the Yan Family's momentum grew. Yan Qingtian is also considered a capable person, and he distributed the benefits to all parties. However, Ning Guangyao was re-elected as the premier, and the Ning Family is still firmly in power. However, I heard that the eldest son of the Ning Family, Ning Guodong, got into some trouble, and he's been staying at home all day. I'm not sure what's going on, but there's a rumor that he's suffering from some illness, and I didn't bother to look into it. "
"Hmph, the Ning Family is considered to be at the peak of their power when it comes to Ning Guangyao's generation. I've met Ning Guodong a few years ago. This junior is not broad-minded enough, and he won't amount to much. I'm afraid that once Ning Guangyao falls, the Ning family will have no one to carry on. As the saying goes, prosperity leads to decline, and it's hard to guarantee that they'll be removed from the Four Great Clans, "Yang Gongming said leisurely.
Sanniang didn't comment on it, and continued with a smile, "Speaking of juniors, the second son of the Yan Family, Yan Buxue, was injured by Young Master Chen for some trivial matters. Although he's recovered now, I heard that he's still plotting against Young Master Chen. However, his elder brother, Yan Buwen, has suppressed the matter. Speaking of which, Yan Buwen does have some talent. Not only is he a capable person in terms of technology, but he's also a meticulous strategist, and knows himself as well as the enemy. Unfortunately, compared to Li Dun from the Li Family, Yan Buwen's character is lacking. "
"Yan Qingtian has a good grandson, but if he doesn't push the Yan Family to the peak of glory, he'll definitely fall into a bottomless abyss. It all depends on the Yan Family's luck. I like Li Dun more, but he's too fierce and lacks some flexibility. He's a talented general, not a commander. Otherwise, his future would be limitless. I don't know how that old fox Li Moshen could raise such a contrasting grandson. "Yang Gongming's lips curled into a smile, and he continued," That brat Yang Cheng is also restless. He destroyed the Zeng Family and caused trouble for that girl from the Cai Family. Could it be that he wants to go after the Yan Family as well? "
Sanniang smiled bitterly, "Young Master Chen isn't someone who initiates trouble. Most of the trouble is caused by the women around him. In this aspect, he's very different from Master and Young Master Pojun. "
Yang Gongming laughed heartily. He naturally understood Sanniang's meaning. The members of the Yang Family, no matter how they behaved, were mostly infatuated with love. Whether it was him, Yang Pojun, or his grandson Yang Lie, they were all devoted to only one woman.
Only this eldest grandson, who was lost at a young age, had a string of peach blossoms, each of them an outstanding beauty.
He didn't know if God knew that the Yang Family had a small number of people for generations, giving birth to such an anomaly.
From Yang Gongming's point of view, although having more women would affect the family's reputation, the current era was a far cry from his era.
Back then, even getting pregnant before marriage was seen as a disgraceful act. In today's world, marriage mostly depended on whether the woman was pregnant or not. Marrying with a pregnant belly was a common occurrence!
You're the son of a prominent family, and if you only love one woman for your entire life, others would think that you're pretending to be virtuous. If you keep more lovers, people would think that it's normal!
Therefore, although Yang Gongming felt that Yang Cheng was a little too much of a playboy, he didn't dislike it.
"Master, Sanniang has something that I'm not sure if I should say," Sanniang said hesitantly.
Yang Gongming waved his hand. "Between you and me, there's nothing that can't be said."
"Master, although Young Master Chen is getting along well with Young Madam, he doesn't acknowledge the relationship between Commander and Young Master Lie. Under such circumstances, do you really want Young Master Chen to inherit the family?" Sanniang asked.
Yang Gongming took a porcelain cup from the side, took a sip, put it down, and sighed. "If he's willing, that's naturally the best. If he's unwilling, I can only settle for the next best thing, and let Pojun inherit. Although Pojun is too obsessed … we can only blame ourselves, the Yang Family owes him too much. It's understandable that he doesn't want to come back. But I have an inexplicable feeling that this child will come back one day. "
Sanniang's narrowed eyes were filled with an unpredictable expression. Finally, she sighed softly. "Sanniang will do my best to make Master's wish come true."
Yang Cheng shook his head. "Sanniang, you've always said that everything in this world has its own principles, and it can't be forced. I don't expect everything to go my way, I just leave it to fate. Moreover, my body is still strong, I'm not in a hurry. "
At this moment, a servant anxiously ran over from a nearby doorway, holding a wireless phone in his hand. He said respectfully, "Master, Miss suddenly called, and insisted that you answer it immediately."
Yang Gongming was puzzled as to why the servant would suddenly run in without any regard for the rules. Once he heard that it was his daughter, he suddenly understood. He thought of Yang Jieyu. She was also a troublemaker. He thought that she would have peace after marrying to Zhonghai, but for the past twenty years, she still called him every few days, either to flatter him or to ask for his help.
It was only because she was his daughter that he indulged her a little. If Yang Pojun dared to act like this, he would definitely give him a good kick!
Picking up the phone, Yang Gongming said in a bad mood, "Girl, what do you want from me again? Can't you let your old father worry less?"
On the other end of the phone, Yang Jieyu said anxiously, "Dad! This time, I'm really not looking for you for my own matters. It's your precious grandson, that brat Yang Cheng, who's going crazy! "
"Yang Cheng?" Yang Gongming immediately tensed up. From Yang Jieyu's tone, he knew that the situation was not good, but he still said calmly, "Tell me in detail, I'm listening …"
A minute later, Yang Gongming hung up and passed the phone to the servant, dismissing him.
Although she was not close enough to listen to the phone, Sanniang seemed to hear everything clearly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, "Master, I was just saying that Young Master Chen is constantly causing trouble because of a woman. You really test whatever you say."
Yang Gongming pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "This brat thinks that he's invincible just because he went on a killing spree in Europe and killed two feathered beasts. Li Moshen is famous for being protective of his own people. His grandson … is Li Moshen's precious daughter's flesh and blood. How can he be touched so easily? "
"There's no time to lose. Li Moshen already knows Young Master Chen's identity, and he's also one of the few people who know about 'Hongmeng'. He definitely won't do anything pointless. With his methods, if his grandson is really killed, he'll definitely purposely blow the matter up without a care in the world. The information in the Security Bureau is enough to stir up a storm in Yan Jing. Whether it's to ally with other families to deal with Young Master Chen, or to deal with our Yang Family, it's enough to cause chaos in Hua Xia.
If that's the case, it'll be hard to guarantee that the 'Hongmeng Emissary' will be forced to deal with Young Master Chen. After all, the Li Family is the key to maintaining the political balance. It's better for this old woman to make a trip to Zhonghai! "Sanniang stood up.
"Hongmeng Emissary …" Yang Gongming looked at the old woman with a complicated expression. "What if you're seen by them?"
Sanniang lowered her head and smiled. "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever. Young Master Chen already possesses those people's' godhood ', and his identity has already become a taboo in Hongmeng. It's a condition for Hongmeng's people to make a move. If it wasn't for the fact that Young Master Chen cultivates the 'Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture' at the same time and is close to that door, Hongmeng Emissary would've killed him just based on the previous troubles.
If he really causes turmoil in Hua Xia's political situation … When that 'Hongmeng Emissary' makes a move, I'm afraid it'll be too late to save Young Master Chen. "
"But you …"
Yang Gongming wanted to say something else, but Sanniang stopped him. "Master, there's no need to say anything else. I'm afraid Sanniang won't be able to make it in time if we delay any longer."
"Alright …"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sanniang disappeared from the courtyard. There wasn't even a trace of her shadow left! It was as if she had never appeared in the first place.
If Yang Cheng was there to witness this scene, he would've turned pale with fright. Wasn't this the same supernatural power that the Hongmeng Emissary, Ling Xuzi, used when they met at the seaside?! The only difference was that Ling Xuzi's instantaneous movement was shorter, but this Sanniang's instantaneous movement was completely gone!
Yang Gongming wasn't too surprised. He only turned his head and looked at the gray sky in the south. He sighed leisurely. His gaze was blurry, as if he was reminiscing and regretting something …
