Inside the rented room.

A rapid phone call rang again.

It was Gao Lang calling again.

Gao Yan calmly answered the phone.

Immediately, Gao Lang's roaring voice rang out: "Gao Yan, what the hell is wrong with you? Why haven't you transferred the money to me yet? I'm waiting to get paid to settle my bill!"

Faced with Gao Lang's questioning, Gao Yan said apologetically, "Gao Lang, I'm sorry, the ATM near the school is out of service. I was planning to go to the city to deposit the money, but a teacher at the school suddenly needed to talk to me and I was delayed. I'm on my way to the city now. Just wait for me for another ten minutes or so, and I should be able to transfer the money to you!"

Gao Lang: "Then hurry up, I'll give you another twenty minutes. If you don't transfer the money to me by then, don't blame me for disowning you as my brother!"

Hearing this, Gao Yan sneered, but said, "Don't worry, twenty minutes will definitely be no problem!"

After hanging up the phone.

Gao Yan promptly blocked the number as well.

If Gao Lang were to show even a little more respect and politeness to his adopted brother, and give him some money, that would be acceptable.

But Gao Lang never treated him like a brother. He not only bossed him around, but also cursed him at the slightest provocation. What's most disgusting is that he liked to complain to his adoptive mother.

The foster mother was always indiscriminate; as long as Gao Lang complained, she would definitely reprimand Gao Yan.

He wasn't ungrateful. Although his adoptive parents didn't treat him well, they still raised him and sent him to university.

He plans to go back to his hometown after summer vacation and have an open and honest talk with his adoptive parents to completely break away from that family, as for the money his adoptive parents have spent on him over the years.

He will repay it double.

It must be said that Gao Lang is quite persistent when it comes to asking for money.

Gao Yan had already blocked that number.

Twenty minutes later.

He called again from a different number.

"Gao Yan, are you fucking messing with me?"

Gao Yan laughed: "Yeah, you just realized that?"

These words immediately enraged Gao Lang, who began to hurl insults at him.

Gao Yan was too lazy to listen, so he hung up the phone and blocked the number again.

A few minutes later.

My adoptive mother called.

I reckon that brat Gao Lang has complained to his adoptive mother again. After the last phone call, Gao Yan has completely lost heart towards his adoptive mother. Even if he answers the phone, he will only be met with accusations and scolding.

Therefore, Gao Yan had no intention of answering the phone and hung up immediately.

This infuriated the adoptive mother, who was far away in Jiangzhu City. She cursed Gao Yan while dialing again.

But Gao Yan still hung up.

Unable to contain her anger, the adoptive mother sent a message to give Gao Yan a good scolding.

Normally, seeing these hurtful words would make him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But the repeated differential treatment and the hurtful words had long since eroded Gao Yan's feelings for his adoptive parents.

Moreover, he has already decided to completely sever ties with this family.

His adoptive parents were only slightly better than strangers in his eyes.

Therefore, he was able to deal with it calmly.

Simply delete the message and ignore it.

Knowing that the milk tea shops in Hengda Plaza and Wanlong Plaza would be opening on Monday, Gao Yan called the managers and shop owners of several mobile phone stores and asked them to help prepare a batch of mobile phones.

At this moment, in the Zijinhu Villa community.

Uncle De stood respectfully in front of Deng Yu, a bitter look on his face: "Young Master, our men have found Li Feng. According to him, Gao Yan is a master of internal strength!"

"A master of internal energy? How could that kid possibly be a master of internal energy?"

Deng Yu said with a look of surprise, "Masters of internal strength are not as common as cabbages. As far as he knows, there is only one master of internal strength. The other party is the captain of his father's bodyguard team. Not only does he earn an annual salary of 12 million, but he can also enjoy a certain amount of dividends from his family's company."

The other person's name is Liang Fang, and he is 48 years old.

According to his father, he was only able to hire Liang Fang as his bodyguard because his grandfather had done Liang Fang a favor in the past. Otherwise, even if he doubled the salary, let alone the annual salary of 12 million, he would not have been able to invite Liang Fang.

The strength of the master of internal energy was also quite abnormal. He defused the assassination crisis targeting his father several times and effectively deterred those enemies who wanted to take advantage of the Deng family!

Uncle De continued, "Li Feng is unlikely to lie, young master. It seems we'll have to put the plan against Gao Yan on hold for now!"

Even though the Deng family has Liang Fang, a master of internal strength, Gao Yan has the advantage of youth. He entered the realm of internal strength at the age of twenty, and may become a grandmaster of external strength in the future.

Once he becomes a Grandmaster of Internal Energy, it will be a catastrophe for the Deng family.

"Is there any way to get Uncle Liang to take care of them?" Deng Yu asked tentatively.

Uncle De was startled and quickly advised, "Young Master, it's best not to!"

"Why?"

Deng Yu frowned in displeasure.

Uncle De analyzed: "First of all, Liang Fang may not be able to defeat Gao Yan. After all, if he can't beat him, he can still escape. In that case, we will become mortal enemies. Secondly, Gao Yan has become a master of internal strength at such a young age. Could there be an even stronger being behind him? If we beat the younger one, the older one might jump out."

There's another possibility: he might be connected to a martial arts family. If Gao Yan is from a martial arts family, our entire Deng family might be wiped out because of him. Young master, with your background, what kind of woman can't you have? Why become a mortal enemy with a master of internal energy for a woman?"

"Even if I don't oppose him, he might not let me off the hook!"

Deng Yu said with a grim expression.

"Young Master, let's find a way to resolve this feud. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester!"
