"Do you even deserve my respect?"

Zhao Cheng kicked Yan Yilun to the ground and said angrily, "It was so hard for Zhao Hu to come back to life, and you almost killed him again!"

Enraged, Yan Yilun got up and lunged at Zhao Cheng, only to be struck on the head by the back of a knife by Heng Wenhao, who was following up, causing him to bleed profusely.

Heng Wenhao was in front, Zhao Yan was behind, and Yan Yilun knew he had no chance, so he sat on the ground and dared not move.

Zhao Cheng beckoned, and Dong Hua handed him a stool.

Zhao Cheng sat down and asked, "Tell me, who told you about the Lingshan Iron Mine?"

Yan Yilun was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return, "You knew everything?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Nonsense, if I didn't know, wouldn't I have been ambushed by you!"

"How do you know..." Yan Yilun immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "It's my second uncle! How could he have done this?!"

"Because your second uncle isn't as stupid as you, he didn't even realize he was being used?"

"I wasn't used; I'm here to kill you and get revenge!"

Then Yan Yilun looked puzzled and said, "That's not right. Even if you knew my plan, I released all the sleeping potion, so why are you all unharmed?"

Zhao Cheng turned and glanced at Shi Minghua, explaining, "Look closely, this is the famous Jinghai Divine Physician. What kind of poison can't she cure with her antidote?"

"What... Doctor Jinghai..." Yan Yilun was immediately breathless, closed his eyes in disappointment, and said regretfully, "I shouldn't have come to find my second uncle!"

Zhao Cheng said, "You really shouldn't have gone to Yan Zheng. Asking him to use Yiwenshe's channels to deal with Yiwenshe's boss is asking too much of him."

Yan Yilun's eyes widened as he felt one surprise after another that night.

"Are you the owner of Yiwenshe?"

At this moment, Yan Zheng ran over and shouted, "Boss, don't say any more to him!"

Zhao Cheng crossed his legs and said, "Mr. Yan, he has committed numerous evils. Do you still want to protect him?"

Yan Zheng knelt down beside Yan Yilun. He knew that Zhao Cheng had told Yan Yilun all these secrets, but he had no intention of letting Yan Yilun live.

He kowtowed and said, "Boss, Yi Lun is the only heir of the Yan family!"

Yan Yilun headbutted Yan Zheng, saying sternly, "Second Uncle, you are my only family in this world. I don't blame you for betraying me, but I can't stand seeing you kneel down and beg for mercy from someone like this!"

"Shut up!" Yan Zheng yelled, then got up and continued to plead, "Boss, the child is still young, he's being used!"

"Mr. Yan, his plan is to kill my whole family!"

Zhao Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Yan Yilun, I'll give you a chance. Tell me who gave you the information, and I'll lock you up in jail forever, but I'll spare your life."

Yan Zheng shouted, "Yilun, speak up!"

Yan Yilun shook his head, then suddenly laughed and said, "Second Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? Even if I don't say anything, Zhao Cheng wouldn't dare to kill me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng became interested, walked up to Yan Yilun, and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to kill you?"

Yan Yilun turned his face away and said, "You are quite familiar with Deng Fugui, the former Minister of Justice of the Eastern Capital and the current Prefect of Jiangyang County, aren't you?"

Zhao Cheng said, "So what if it is?"

Yan Yilun said, "Deng Fugui's daughter is in my hands. If I die, his daughter will not live either."

Zhao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You lied so calmly, but you came all the way to Yanchuan City to seek revenge on me. Do you think you would go around to Jiangyang County to arrest someone? Besides, how precious is Lord Deng's daughter? She has so many people protecting her. How could you possibly have a chance to take advantage of her?"

Yan Yilun said calmly, "I don't care, you can try. Deng Fugui's daughter is named Deng Yanjiao. She is smaller than average, but her body is very developed. She is currently imprisoned in a certain place. If I don't go back for too long, the people I left to guard her will kill her."

"Of course, if your relationship with Deng Fugui is fake, or if you can disregard Deng Fugui's family, then kill me!"

Zhao Cheng observed Yan Yilun's expression, straightened up, walked back to the stool, and said softly, "Guard Heng, have Yuan Fei contact the flying team members in Jiangyang County to verify."

"As for this person..."

Zhao Cheng turned and glanced at Yan Zheng, saying, "Give Mr. Yan some face, lock him up for now, and don't torture him."

Yan Zheng took a deep breath, as if all his strength had been drained, and said, "Yan Zheng thanks you, boss..."

When Yan Yilun was taken away by Heng Wenhao, he stared at Yan Zheng and questioned, "Second Uncle, why did you do this? Don't you want to avenge Third Uncle?"

Yan Zheng said, "Yilun, I've told you before, you are the only heir of the Yan family, you... cannot defeat the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

After Yan Yilun was taken away, Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Third brother, tell Father about this. Let him investigate how the news about the Lingshan Iron Mine was leaked."

Zhao Yan asked suspiciously, "Why not let Yiwen Society investigate?"

Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "The old man instructed me that I cannot interfere in anything that happens in Lingshan."

"knew."

Zhao Cheng helped Yan Zheng up, his expression softening, and said, "Mr. Yan, I am very grateful that you were willing to put aside your own family for the greater good."

Yan Zheng said, "Please, boss, spare his life."

"It depends on his performance. You have done me a great service, and I will try my best to meet your only request, but he can't go too far."

Zhao Cheng stared at Yan Zheng and said, "But I want to hear the truth from you. Is your decision not to help Yan Yilun really just because you think he can't defeat the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Yan Zheng shook his head and said, "During the past two months working at Yiwen Society, I have come to know that it will become a behemoth in the future, even capable of influencing national policy and the direction of war. I am fortunate to have served Yiwen Society when it was first established; it is a mission bestowed upon me by this era! Yiwen Society is still just a baby now. It cannot be done by Yuan Fei, myself, and the Yiwen Flying Team alone. Yiwen Society needs you, Boss, to grow. If you fall, Yiwen Society will cease to exist, and I will not allow that!"

Zhao Cheng patted Yan Zheng's shoulder heavily and said, "I didn't misjudge you. Then why don't you tell Yan Yilun the real reason?"

Yan Zheng sighed and said, "He won't understand. Ever since I saw the look in his eyes that night, I knew that he, like his third uncle, was already trapped in the martial world and couldn't turn back."

Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Donghua."

Donghua walked over.

“You’re out and about a lot these days, and you have good relationships with many people in the city. Why don’t you find a wife for Mr. Yan as soon as possible?”

"yes."

Yan Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

"I won't forget what I promised you. Barring unforeseen circumstances, I won't take Yan Yilun's life."

Zhao Cheng said seriously, "But if he's locked up for life, he'll be ruined. So Mr. Yan, the Yan family line still depends on you."

Yan Zheng said, "I just want to work and study..."

Zhao Cheng said, "If you don't want to shoulder this responsibility, you can refuse. But I will have Donghua keep looking for you until you are satisfied."

Tears welled up in Yan Zheng's eyes, and he suddenly knelt down, saying with emotion, "You are truly the most considerate boss in the world!"
