Five minutes later.
Tang Yue's low, deep, and joyful laughter drifted over.
His arms around her waist tightened slightly: "Wanwan, how can you be so easily fooled? Hmm?"
The last "hmm" was slightly raised at the end, carrying a hint of teasing and a strong sense of satisfaction.
"..."
Yu Wan raised her foot expressionlessly and stomped down hard.
"Hmm..."
The man groaned.
Until Yu Wan left in a huff.
Tang Yue raised his extremely handsome face, his gaze sharp and cold. Today's events had once again made him wary. The Tang family's affairs were too dangerous; he absolutely could not involve Yu Wan.
He has already lost both his parents, and he can't lose her too.
Suddenly.
The phone beside me kept ringing.
Tang Yue glanced at the number displayed above, then stared in the direction Yu Wan had left, pondering for a moment, and a plan slowly took shape in his mind.
-
Taiyue Hotel.
The engagement ceremony was decorated in a lavish and dreamlike style, making extensive use of 4D projection technology, as if one were in the Milky Way.
When Ji Yun Chu made a high-profile appearance in a starry fishtail dress, arm in arm with Gao Ling Chuan, the flashbulbs went off non-stop.
Everyone's gaze shifted suddenly, and they all showed expressions of amazement.
Ji Yun Chu held her chin high and straightened her back, enjoying the spotlight. While feeling smug, she also felt extremely regretful that Yu Wan wasn't there, otherwise she would have completely outshone her.
My hand was suddenly patted.
She tilted her head in confusion.
The man's profile was perfectly sculpted, and his eyes held only tenderness as he gazed at her.
Ji Yun Chu's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart pounded wildly in her chest.
The most outstanding young talent in Jiangcheng is now her fiancé.
How can I not be proud?
Not proud?
Gao Lingchuan lowered his voice: "Look to the northeast."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yun Chu looked up and saw the handsome and refined man in the corner. She exclaimed "Oh!" and hurriedly covered her mouth, "When did Tang Yue arrive?" She had called him no less than twenty times today without getting through, and thought he wouldn't show up.
"I've been here for a while now, and I've been drinking alone quite a bit." Gao Lingchuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the sarcasm in them deeply hidden: "My dear fiancée, you are truly too charming, even Tang Yue is head over heels for you."
Ji Yun Chu straightened her back even more, but gazed at Gao Ling Chuan with deep affection: "From beginning to end, you are the only one I love the most."
"Really?" The smugness in her eyes did not escape Gao Lingchuan's observation, and he felt a surge of sarcasm.
Ji Yun Chu nodded vigorously and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Even if you asked me to get close to him back then, we were completely innocent before. We didn't even hold hands, let alone have any other intimate contact. I'm telling the truth, you have to believe me."
In fact, Tang Yue didn't touch her at all.
Ji Yun was proud and arrogant, so naturally she wouldn't reveal the truth.
"Of course I believe you." Gao Lingchuan stopped, turned around, pinched her chin, leaned down and kissed her, glancing at Tang Yue out of the corner of his eye to test his reaction.
boom--
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Tang Yue casually lifted his eyelids, a mocking smile playing on his lips. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw a face, and his gaze froze. In that instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his blood freezing.
That face had appeared countless times in his nightmares.
Wasn't he dead?
He perished at sea on that large ship along with his parents…
Why are you still here?
The man, dressed as a hotel waiter, walked up to Tang Zhanhang with several glasses of champagne and seemed to say something.
Tang Zhanhang's face changed color several times, turning deathly pale. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before hurrying off to follow him away.
Tang Yue pursed his lips and chased after him without thinking.
On the other side, Tang Zhanhang went straight into the elevator, while the waiter was nowhere to be found.
Tang Yue walked over after the elevator doors closed, watching as the elevator stopped at the B2 underground parking garage. He turned slightly, opened the door to the green passage, and ran down the stairs.
Parking lot B2 was quiet.
Tang Yue crouched low as he weaved through the vehicles, searching for Tang Zhanhang.
call!
The air in the garage was unusually stuffy, and he desperately suppressed his heavy breathing to avoid being detected.
Soon, voices came from area F on the left.
Tang Yue turned on his phone's recording function, put it in his pocket, and cautiously approached that direction.
It appears that a conflict has broken out between them at this point.
"...Someone is investigating us, and they've already found out about Jinmei Technology. The sir's intention is to deal with your nephew if necessary." The male voice was deep, slightly hoarse, and very familiar.
Tang Zhanhang irritably ran his fingers through his hair, disagreeing: "Tang Yue is already bankrupt and poses no threat to us, so why do something against our will?"
"Ha, Mr. Tang, haven't you done enough illegal things?"
"You..." Tang Zhanhang was furious: "Wasn't it all because you forced me to do this?"
"Stop talking so noblely. You're just after the Tang Group. We've seen plenty of scum like you."
"Shut up……"
What followed sounded like a fight, with chaotic footsteps and occasional muffled groans.
Tang Yue stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, then carefully glanced around before continuing to move forward.
Before I had taken more than a few steps, a sharp pain suddenly shot through the back of my head.
He knelt on the ground and fell forward headfirst.
In a daze, someone grabbed his hair, and Tang Yue saw a six-pointed star pattern wearing a hat on his arm before he completely lost consciousness.
-
Boom!
Thunder roared across the sky, illuminating the entire firmament with arcs of silver lightning.
A violent storm.
"Hmm..."
Yu Wan was jolted awake by an electric shock, her mind reeling with pain. She opened her eyes, which were filled with crimson blood, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Idiot System, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you can just wait to be scrapped."
[Host, hurry and save Tang Yue!] The Peace Ship's voice was extremely anxious: [If you're any later, he'll die. If the target character dies prematurely, all missions will be considered invalid.]
Yu Wan frowned: "What do you mean?"
This means all health points are reset to zero.
“That’s not what I’m asking.” Yu Wan turned on the bedside lamp, got out of bed, walked to the closet, opened it, ran her fingers through the clothes, and finally took out a set of sportswear that was easy to move in.
Her voice was cold and deep: "What happened to Tang Yue? Also, send me your location."
An orange halo enveloped that beautiful, delicate face, sweeping away her usual nonchalant and lazy demeanor, giving her a cold and aloof air, with a violent aura surrounding her.
[Tang Yue was knocked unconscious while following Tang Zhanhang, tied up, and thrown into the trunk of a black Mercedes-Benz, which was heading towards the bay.] Without hesitation, the Peace Ship immediately retrieved all the surveillance footage.
As Yu Wan slowly watched the surveillance footage, her breathing grew heavier and heavier, and a storm brewed in her eyes.
She lowered her head, dialed a number, and it rang more than a dozen times before being answered: "Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry to bother you so late... Yes, I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
