The two brothers, Sun Yu and Sun Wu, were kneeling on the cold marble floor, their faces bruised and swollen, their bodies trembling slightly with fear.

Their faces and bodies still bore traces of blood and bruises, their meticulously styled hair was now disheveled, and their expensive custom-made suits were wrinkled and stained.

His pitiful appearance was a stark contrast to the arrogant and high-spirited young master of the Sun family who was usually so domineering.

Sitting before them was a middle-aged man with a stern face.

The man was around fifty years old, dressed in a dark Tang suit. He wasn't particularly tall or muscular, but sitting there, he exuded an air of authority that commanded respect without being angry.

He is none other than Sun Neng, the current head of the Sun family, Sun Yu's father, and a prominent figure in Haicheng's business world whose every move can cause a stir.

Sun Neng was playing with two smooth, healthy walnuts in his hands. The walnuts collided and made a dull "click" sound, which was particularly clear and unsettling in the quiet and oppressive hall.

He didn't look at his son and nephew kneeling on the ground. His gaze was deep as he stared into the void ahead, his face expressionless, like a volcano about to erupt, accumulating terrifying energy.

The hall was completely silent; even the air seemed to freeze.

Sun Yu and Sun Wu didn't dare to breathe, fine beads of cold sweat seeping from their foreheads and sliding down their swollen cheeks.

They have just recounted what happened at the club tonight, embellishing the story but essentially presenting it as fact.

Of course, they deliberately concealed their own provocation and arrogance, only emphasizing how unreasonable and domineering the other party was, how they disregarded the Sun family, and how they brutally beat them.

In particular, Qin Yang's words, "What is the Sun family anyway?" were relayed verbatim to Sun Neng.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like being fried in a pan of oil.

The walnut in Sun Neng's hand spun faster and faster, and the "clicking" sound became more and more urgent, like the urgent drumbeats that pounded on the hearts of Sun Yu and Sun Wu.

Finally, Sun Neng stopped what he was doing.

He slowly raised his eyelids, his seemingly cloudy but actually sharp as a hawk's eyes coldly sweeping over the two people kneeling on the ground.

"So, you two were beaten into this pig-like state, and along with the reputation of the Sun family, you were trampled underfoot?"

His voice was not loud, and could even be described as calm, but beneath that calm lay a chilling rage capable of freezing everything.

Sun Yu and Sun Wu trembled violently and lowered their heads even further.

"Dad...that kid...that kid is too arrogant! He doesn't take our Sun family seriously at all!"

Sun Yu gritted his teeth, his voice distorted by pain and fear, yet he still managed to fan the flames.

“Yes, Patriarch! He also said… he also said what the Sun family is…” Sun Wu quickly echoed, his voice trembling with tears, trying to gain sympathy and further provoke Sun Neng’s anger.

Sun Neng's lips slowly curved into a cold smile, a smile devoid of any warmth, only chilling to the bone.

"very good……"

He slowly stood up, walked over to the two men, and looked down at them.

That look was as if he were looking at two pieces of trash.

“My grandson has dominated the Great Xia for decades, and no one has ever…”

His voice suddenly turned stern, like an icicle in the dead of winter, piercing deep into one's bones!

"How dare you humiliate the Sun family like this!"

The moment he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from Sun Neng, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop several degrees!

Sun Yu and Sun Wu were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.

The cold glint in Sun Neng's eyes was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"Qin Yang...is that right?"

He chewed on the name, as if trying to crush it between his teeth.

"Investigate!"

"We'll dig three feet into the ground and drag this damned fool out of here!"

"I want him to know what happens when he messes with someone from my Sun family!"

The chilling, murderous words echoed in the hall, foreshadowing an impending storm.

The Sun family's anger has been ignited.

The young man named Qin Yang has been thoroughly targeted by the Sun family.

Nothing was said that night.

The morning sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a dazzling glow on the imposing exterior of the Fengling Group building. Mornings in Haicheng always carry a busy and vibrant atmosphere.

Qin Yang and Shangguan Wan walked side by side into the lobby of Fengling Group.

Qin Yang was still dressed casually, with a calm expression, as if the conflict that happened at the private club last night was just an insignificant little episode.

Shangguan Wanze was dressed in a well-fitting business suit that accentuated her graceful figure. Her beautiful face showed a hint of fatigue, clearly indicating that the events of last night and their potential consequences had left her somewhat unsettled.

As soon as the two stepped into the lobby, before they could even head for the private elevator, a beautiful figure hurriedly came to greet them.

The person who arrived was Chen Yuqi. She didn't seem as calm and composed as usual today. Beneath her exquisite makeup, there was obvious anxiety and worry between her brows.

"Qin Yang, President Shangguan, you've finally arrived!" Chen Yuqi walked quickly to the two of them, her tone somewhat hurried.

Qin Yang paused slightly, glanced at her, and calmly asked, "What's wrong? You seem to have something urgent to do."

Shangguan Wan also stopped and looked at Chen Yuqi, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

Chen Yuqi took a deep breath, quickly scanned her surroundings, and lowered her voice to say, "I just received news from home... it's about the Sun family."

Upon hearing the words "Sun family," Shangguan Wan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Qin Yang.

Chen Yuqi's expression grew even more serious. She looked at Qin Yang and said, word by word, "My family said that the Sun family has already found out your identity. And... and they've said they won't let this go so easily and will soon send people to cause you trouble!"

She paused, then added, "My grandfather specifically asked me to tell you that the Sun family is probably serious this time, so you must be careful!"

The Chen family's intelligence network is naturally well-established. Sun Neng's furious outburst last night, and his subsequent mobilization of resources to investigate Qin Yang, though secretive, were not entirely undetectable to families of similar standing.

“The Sun family…” Shangguan Wan murmured, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with deep worry.

She instinctively grabbed Qin Yang's arm, her voice trembling slightly: "Qin Yang, the Sun family... the Sun family is not comparable to the Ming family!"

"They are truly behemoths entrenched at the top of the Great Xia Dynasty, with deeply rooted family power and connections spanning the military, political, and business spheres. Their foundation is unimaginably profound!"

"If they really use all their strength..." Shangguan Wan dared not continue, the consequences were simply too terrible.

Although there were some twists and turns in dealing with the Ming family before, the Ming family was just a local powerful family in Haicheng. Compared with a behemoth like the Sun family, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.
