"Master, Master Tang has arrived."
The person outside came in and said.
Yan Shuze had the scene cleaned up, and then went to the main hall in front to see Tang Yuxiu.
Tang Yuxiu sat there calmly, sipping his freshly brewed tea. He glanced at Yan Shuze who had just entered and said, "I've already been exposed."
"You did this on purpose."
Yan Shuze said sarcastically.
As long as Tang Yuxiu remains hidden, no one will discover his identity. It's obvious that he's the one who's wandering around in front of people. If we don't suspect you, who will we suspect?
"Actually, I was suspected from the very beginning."
Tang Yuxiu refers to the time he collaborated with Sheng Qian.
“If you hadn’t come forward yourself, I probably would have been kept in the dark as well,” Yan Shuze said coldly. “Then why did you withdraw? I didn’t receive any news of Long Yunting’s death. Are you planning to breach the contract?”
“It’s not exactly a breach of contract,” Tang Yuxiu said. “The person you care about has run into Professor Wan. You know what kind of person Professor Wan is. Running into him will definitely not end well. If I don’t withdraw, he won’t leave.”
Yan Shuze suddenly stared at Tang Yuxiu, his icy gaze sending chills down one's spine.
But Tang Yuxiu was not afraid of him. If he was afraid of even Yan Shuze, he could not be the leader of the ambitious faction in S District.
"There's no need to look at me like that. You're being far too obvious about who you care about. Patriarch Yan, it's not a good thing that someone has your weakness exploited. If you want our S District to let her go, there are some things you'll have to do yourself."
"You're threatening me!"
"I suppose so. So, Patriarch Yan, are you willing to do what you can to protect her? Patriarch Yan doesn't need to use ruthlessness to cover up your protection of her. I'm not blind; I saw it all clearly in Haicheng."
Tang Yuxiu spoke slowly, but it gave Yan Shuze the feeling of someone slowly tightening a rope around his neck.
This Tang Yuxiu is no pushover.
"You think you can threaten me by bringing Sheng Qianlai into this?"
Tang Yuxiu laughed, "Then how about we try? Let's see if I can crush Sheng Qian to death."
“You are welcome to try,” Yan Shuze said, his gaze sharp as a sword, seemingly able to pierce through a person’s body.
The more Yan Shuze reacted this way, the more indifferent Tang Yuxiu became.
Because Tang Yuxiu had a firm grip on Yan Shuze's weakness, he could make Yan Shuze do whatever he wanted.
"Patriarch Yan, you have hurt Sheng Qian quite a bit. What, do you think that by liking her and protecting her behind her back, she will appreciate your kindness? Or that you can clear up the misunderstandings between you? It is a fact that you have hurt her, and there is no need to run away from it."
Yan Shuze smiled coldly: "What I care about is not her as a person, but what she has. Master Tang also values her abilities, otherwise why would he have let Professor Wan withdraw? You are even less willing to let Sheng Qian die than I am."
Tang Yuxiu turned around, looked at Yan Shuze quietly for a while, and smiled calmly, "Patriarch Yan really knows how to talk and act."
"What, did I say something wrong?"
“Patriarch Yan is not wrong, but there is one point I need to correct,” Tang Yuxiu picked up his tea, took a sip, and looked at Yan Shuze, saying slowly, “If it really comes to a critical moment, I don’t care about Sheng Qian’s life or death. If I can’t have her, I will destroy her.”
Yan Shuze clenched his fists and stared coldly at Tang Yuxiu.
There was a brief silence between the two. Tang Yuxiu tapped his finger lightly on the table and said, "What has Patriarch Yan decided? Will you work for me or act alone? If you work for me, I can definitely protect Sheng Qian. Patriarch Yan has also witnessed the things that Professor Wan has researched, which can kill without leaving a trace. Patriarch Yan should not have such things, right?"
"What do you want?"
Yan Shuze's words already indicated that he had given in.
Tang Yuxiu couldn't help but smile.
As expected.
Yan Shuze's weakness is Sheng Qian.
What convinced Tang Yuxiu even more was that Yan Shuze had no interest in what was in Sheng Qian's mind.
He's after her!
Her heart.
What a pity.
Sheng Qian did not think so.
"I need to use the Yan family head's hand to get rid of some troublesome people."
Yan Shuze sneered, "Seventh Master Tang really cherishes his reputation. He makes me do the bad things, while you do all the good ones."
"You flatter me."
Tang Yuxiu stood up with a smile and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Yan Shuze. "Patriarch Yan, it is not wise to expose your weaknesses so directly. If it were me, I would definitely keep these thoughts hidden to avoid being taken advantage of by others."
Yan Shuze said in a gloomy tone, "I have truly learned a lot."
“The Fu family, as the Yan family head should know, I do not want their next research to yield results. I hope the Yan family can clear away the obstacles for me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out the door.
Yan Shuze sneered and slammed his hand heavily on the table. "You really think you can use me as a pawn? Tang Yuxiu, who do you think you are? Controlling S District? I'd like to see if I can crush you."
Yan Shuze drank a cup of tea directly, his eyes chillingly cold.

After Long Yunting woke up, he contacted Helan Jin.
Sheng Qian is still resting in her room.
"Tang Yuxiu and Yan Shuze came to Haicheng, not just to target me. I need to confirm this myself. At the summit, Yan Shuze first mentioned the Fu family's laboratory. I'm worried they want to destroy all the researchers."
He Lanjin frowned and said, "I'm also investigating in the capital. I found that some people are watching several laboratories. The only safe one is the laboratory in Zone S. If your guess is true, those ambitious people want to monopolize the market."
"If that's the case, then we were on the wrong track from the start."
Long Yunting now feels that this possibility is more likely.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I will find another opportunity to meet with Yan Shuze."
"That's too risky."
"We can only find a weakness by looking at Yan Shuze."
He Lanjin was silent for a moment, then said, "The leader of the ambitious faction is in Haicheng, and even those professors are there. You need to be careful."
Long Yunting noticed the commotion in the room, hummed in response, and hung up the phone.
He strode in, and Sheng Qian had already gotten out of bed.
"Has anything happened outside?"
“The Yan family made a scene all night, but Yan Shuze has already dealt with it. Tang Yuxiu’s departure must have been to see Yan Shuze,” Long Yunting guessed.
Sheng Qian thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible.
The two had long been on the same side, having met countless times and plotted countless things behind the scenes.
Now that Long Yunting has discovered them, they probably won't even bother to hide anymore and will meet directly.
"Now that we know their identities, I'm afraid they'll take action again soon, and I'm a little worried."
Sheng Qian felt very uneasy.
Long Yunting wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "With me here, I won't let those things happen."
She was worried about the Sheng family and the Fu family.
Yan Shuze made contact with the Fu family, while Tang Yuxiu got involved in the Sheng family's affairs. She was worried that the two of them had been eyeing these two families for a long time.
