"These people are now in your hands."

Qin Yang said it casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Shangguan Wan looked at her former family members with a complex expression, a mixture of heartache, disappointment, and relief.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Take them all away, abolish their cultivation, expel them from the Shangguan family, and from now on, they will have no further connection with the Shangguan family."

"Yes, Miss!"

The guards of the Shangguan family responded and dragged away those who were limp on the ground.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and the scent of despair. Shangguan Wan's face was pale, but she forced herself to keep her back straight.

She knew this was something she had to do; for the future of the Shangguan family, she had to rid herself of these malignant tumors.

Qin Yang looked at her quietly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

This woman was stronger than he had imagined.

After dealing with the Shangguan family's affairs, Shangguan Wan and Qin Yang returned to the villa.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere.

Shangguan Wan was filled with gratitude and guilt. She knew that if it weren't for Qin Yang, the Shangguan family would probably no longer exist.

Qin Yang, meanwhile, was pondering the matter of the Poison Gu Sect.

The scorpion is dead, but the threat from the Poison Gu Sect is not gone. He must find out their purpose as soon as possible in order to protect those around him.

Back at the villa, Shangguan Wan dropped all pretense. She hugged Qin Yang tightly, and tears finally streamed down her face.

"Qin Yang, thank you, thank you so much!"

She choked up as she spoke, her voice filled with gratitude and dependence.

Qin Yang gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me? You're mine, and protecting you is my responsibility."

Shangguan Wan raised her head and looked into Qin Yang's deep and gentle eyes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

She took the initiative to kiss Qin Yang's lips, her lips trembling slightly with shyness.

Qin Yang responded to her kiss, tenderly and lingeringly.

That night, the two embraced tightly, comforting and warming each other.

As the passion subsided, Shangguan Wan nestled in Qin Yang's arms and whispered, "Qin Yang, I'm a little scared!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Qin Yang hugged her tighter and asked softly.

"I'm afraid all of this is just a dream, and I'm afraid that when I wake up, you'll be gone!"

Shangguan Wan's voice carried a hint of unease and vulnerability.

Qin Yang lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying firmly, "Silly girl, this is not a dream. I will always be by your side and will never leave you."

Shangguan Wan hugged Qin Yang tightly, as if she wanted to merge him into her own body.

"Yes, I believe you."

She spoke softly, her voice filled with trust and reliance.

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

Qin Yang and Shangguan Wan arrived at Fengling Group early.

After a night of passion, Shangguan Wan's face was flushed, and she radiated a captivating glow.

Qin Yang, on the other hand, remained calm and composed as always, as if nothing had happened the previous night.

"President, there's been a problem with our cooperation with Starry Sky Group."

As soon as the two entered the office, Secretary Li rushed up to them, her face showing anxiety.

"What?"

Shangguan Wan was taken aback and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Qin Yang also frowned, puzzled.

He secretly controls the Starry Sky Group, so how could there be any problems?

He would never give up his cooperation with Fengling Group.

There must be some hidden story behind this.

"That's how it is..."

Xiao Li took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "We received news from the Starry Sky Group that the Ming family of Daxia has interfered with our cooperation."

"The Ming family of Great Xia?"

Shangguan Wan frowned; she had heard of this family before.

"Although the Ming family is only a third-rate family in the entire Great Xia, they are still a behemoth in Haicheng, Hai Province. Over the years, they have also helped the Starry Sky Group open up channels in some other cities."

Xiao Li explained.

What are they trying to do?

Qin Yang asked coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

"The Ming family has declared that if Fengling Group does not give them a 30% discount on the cooperation with them on the beauty drug, they will prevent the beauty drug from being sold in other cities."

Xiao Li's voice carried a hint of anger and helplessness.

"Give away 30% off? Why don't they just rob us!"

Shangguan Wan slammed her hand on the table in anger and said in a furious voice.

The beauty drug is Fengling Group's cash cow and the culmination of her and Qin Yang's hard work. How could they easily give it away to others?

Qin Yang's face also darkened.

He never expected that anyone would dare to target his beauty products.

It seems the Ming family is tired of living!

"President, what should we do now?"

Xiao Li looked at Shangguan Wan and asked anxiously.

"what to do?"

Shangguan Wan sneered and said, "Tell Starry Sky Group that we won't give up a single penny!"

"But……"

Xiao Li hesitated, worried that the Ming family might really interfere.

"There are no 'buts'!"

Shangguan Wan interrupted her, saying firmly, "We cannot compromise with such unreasonable demands, otherwise, even more people will come to extort us in the future!"

"Wan'er, don't get agitated."

Qin Yang took Shangguan Wan's hand and said softly, "Leave this matter to me."

"you?"

Shangguan Wan looked at Qin Yang, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Um."

Qin Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle this."
