"Bro, it's no good! They have people lying in ambush at the window!" several slow-moving henchmen who had narrowly escaped said, weeping bitterly.
"Damn, that's too ruthless! I bet Spicy Sauce Bro and Blazing Fire Bro are doomed this time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have seized the initiative and completely controlled the battle. We've suffered too many losses. It's better to retreat, preserve our strength, and have a chance to make a comeback when we get back. Fighting head-on here will result in too many losses, and we're not even sure if Spicy Sauce Bro and Blazing Fire Bro are alive or dead." Blazing Fire Bro was having second thoughts. The plan was to coordinate from the inside and outside to easily take down Li Yang, the intruder, and then go back to squander the money. But what they were met with was such a fierce firepower attack, completely beyond their expectations. They were starting to lose their composure and couldn't hold on any longer.
"But boss, Spicy Sauce Bro and Fiery Bro are still inside. Are we just going to retreat like this?" one of the henchmen said, sounding rather dim-witted. The other henchmen immediately frowned. "Damn it, you idiot, if you're not afraid of death, go attack! You want to drag me down with you? You may not have a 'buck,' but I certainly do. I'm not doing something so stupid."
But since his underling had brought it up, Flamethrower couldn't be ungrateful. He had to maintain appearances. "You go drive that car, see? Blow up their cover at the factory gate. We'll provide cover from behind." Flamethrower had this idea in mind the moment he saw the car. The underling was a newbie, hot-blooded and impulsive. Hearing Flamethrower's order, he nodded emphatically without hesitation, jumped into Li Yang's car, started it quickly, and roared towards the factory gate. But when the car was still a dozen meters from the gate, a bullet shot out without hesitation, a precise headshot. The underling's head exploded, spraying sticky, red-and-white splatter all over the steering wheel and windshield—a disgusting sight that almost made someone vomit their dinner.
The car lost control, spun around, and crashed headfirst into a wall. The front of the car was severely damaged and completely totaled, and it started leaking oil.
"Damn, that's too fierce! We're no match for them. It's true what they say, 'No dragon can cross the river without a mighty dragon.' Brothers, let's retreat..." Seeing this, Flamethrower Bro stopped trying to hold on. Damn it, continuing was just playing with his life. He led his remaining dozen or so henchmen and scurried away.
"Alright, we can go now. Their bastards have all left. But don't forget our money on the ground." Seeing them flee in a sorry state, Li Yang knew the time to leave had come. He immediately ordered his men to rush out of the factory, quickly get into the car, and drive away.
Tie Dan and his henchmen chuckled and quickly and efficiently cleaned up the 20 million yuan on the ground before rushing out of the factory.
Originally, one car was driven by Li Yang and his group, and Tie Dan and his group also had a car. The three cars sped out of the factory area, onto the main road, and headed straight for Jiangdong City without stopping. Li Yang was in a great hurry to rescue his parents, and now that he knew who was behind it all, things became much easier.
Jiangdong City.
Li Yang's car didn't go anywhere else, heading straight for the municipal party committee compound. Damn it, since it was the Cai family father and son who did it, even if he couldn't openly attack them, he could at least use his psychological insight to find out where his parents were being held. He'd rescue them first, and then deal with them!
The security at the municipal party committee compound was naturally very tight and stringent; ordinary people weren't allowed to enter. But Li Yang was seething with anger, regardless of whether you liked it or not, and besides, it was already quite late. Cai Lan was definitely resting at home. Every minute of delay was agonizing for Li Yang, like being in hell. He wouldn't allow even a minute more to pass.
When Li Yang arrived at the municipal party committee compound in his car, which cost several hundred thousand yuan and had a special pass, the gatekeeper stopped him. However, the gatekeeper was very polite. People who can drive cars of this price range are people of status and position, and may have an unusual relationship with some important figure in the compound. They, as lowly gatekeepers, cannot afford to offend them.
Furthermore, especially after seeing the special pass on the windshield outside the door, they were even more startled and dared not make things difficult.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" the gatekeeper asked politely, his face beaming with a smile.
"Looking for Secretary Cai!" Li Yang said casually, his expression relaxed, as if he and Secretary Cai were very familiar with each other.
"Okay, I'll contact them for you right away~" The gatekeeper shuddered upon hearing this; this person was indeed someone of great importance. He didn't dare to delay and immediately contacted Secretary Cai's family.
"Sir, what is your surname?" the gatekeeper asked cautiously, covering the microphone.
"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Yang," Li Yang said without looking up.
"Li Yang? That name sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?" the gatekeeper muttered to himself, then immediately reported to the guard inside. After hanging up, he said to Li Yang, "Please come in."
Li Yang was somewhat surprised, not expecting Cai Lan to be so generous and not make things difficult for him. Was she afraid that if he wasn't allowed in, he would cause a scene at the municipal party committee compound and escalate the situation?
Regardless, he went inside. Tie Dan and the others provided backup outside, while Li Yang drove in alone. He parked at Building One. There weren't any flashy luxury cars in the parking space, just a brand-new, gleaming Audi with license plate number one. Li Yang glanced at it briefly before getting out to walk towards Building One. But then he saw a slender woman emerge from Building Two, elegant and refined—it was none other than Ye Ziyan. Yes, her father was Ye Qing, the second most powerful man in the city, so naturally she lived in Building Two. But it was already dark; what was she doing out there? Then he saw she was carrying a trash bag. Li Yang understood; she was taking out the trash. As long as she wasn't emptying a chamber pot like a superstar so early in the morning, he could accept it.
Ye Ziyan tossed the trash bag into the trash can and turned to go home, but suddenly felt someone watching her. She turned her head and saw Li Yang's long shadow under the dim light. His eyes shone brightly, radiating a strange feeling, and he stood quietly, making her heart flutter.
Chapter 738: The Tender and Fresh Nanny
"Li Yang?" Ye Ziyan exclaimed in surprise.
"It's me." Li Yang smiled slightly and walked over, maintaining a proper distance—not too close to make her feel oppressed. Last time, Ye Ziyan had gone to such lengths to test him, saying and doing such outrageous things. Now that they had suddenly bumped into each other, she was bound to feel a little awkward. Ye Ziyan's appearance was still as ethereal as a fairy, her eyes bright and clear, her observational skills sharp.
"You've come to see Secretary Cai? You suspect he kidnapped your parents?" Ye Ziyan saw Li Yang's car and the spot where he had just been standing, and immediately guessed what he was up to.
"Why not? Just because he's the Party Secretary of the city?" Li Yang sneered and lit a cigarette with a snap.
"You can be suspicious. You can go ahead then. Call me anytime if you need anything. I'm going upstairs!" Ye Ziyan still felt a little awkward and didn't want to stay with Li Yang for too long. She felt uncomfortable and guessed that Li Yang was in a hurry to rescue his parents, so she didn't want to waste his time.
"Sister Ye is still so beautiful~" Li Yang watched her turn and go upstairs. Her tall figure was accentuated by her well-fitting clothes, creating a perfect S-shape. Her peach-shaped buttocks were firm and perky. She went upstairs lightly, her waist swaying unconsciously, which was captivating.
Li Yang's voice was deliberately neither too loud nor too soft, seemingly a muttering to himself, yet loud enough to reach Ye Ziyan's ears. Ye Ziyan seemed not to hear him, her footsteps continuing uninterrupted, her pace and speed remaining unchanged.
"Your ass is getting even more perky," Li Yang added, oblivious to the danger. Ye Ziyan froze, nearly tripping, then whirled around, her face flushed with shame and anger. She saw Li Yang dash away in a flash. Ye Ziyan stomped her foot angrily and hurried upstairs.
The fairy gradually descended to the mortal world.
Li Yang felt much more relaxed; his tense nerves and suppressed emotions were briefly relieved. However, Li Yang found it quite amusing; otherwise, he wondered if he would have smashed Cai Lan's head in the moment he entered his house.
He calmly rang the doorbell. A fresh-faced young woman, no more than twenty-five, opened the door, saying she was a nanny. Li Yang knew perfectly well that something was amiss. Judging from the woman's voluptuous figure and the way her buttocks swayed as she walked, she seemed to want the whole world to know she was Secretary Cai's woman, working part-time as a nanny.
"Who are you?" The woman asked expressionlessly, her nostrils practically pointing to the sky.
"Li Yang~" Li Yang said indifferently, completely ignoring the woman's attitude.
"The secretary said he's very tired tonight. If you have anything to say, just leave a message, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow!" the woman said in a cold, condescending tone, exuding the air of a sycophant who bullies others.
"Why do you smell so pungent? Were you playing the flute or getting fucked just now?" Li Yang narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them, and snorted coldly.
"You..." The woman was shocked, then furious. Her face turned ashen, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. She snorted coldly and swung her arm. But before her arm could even touch Li Yang, he had already kicked her in the stomach. He showed no mercy, showing no fear of the municipal party secretary's status or arrogance. He kicked the woman away, sending her crashing into a leather sofa and tumbling a long way before she crawled under the coffee table. Only then did she hit her head on the wall, raising a large bump and gushing blood. Only then did she finally stop rolling.
Li Yang swaggered in, plopped down on a single sofa with his legs crossed, casually pulled out a lighter, lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of blue smoke, and then said with an air of nonchalance, "Secretary Cai, is this your way of treating guests? Sending out a disheveled wretch like this to soil my eyes? Believe me or not, I'll tear down your shack!" Li Yang's words were truly ruthless, showing no mercy or consideration whatsoever. He rendered a dignified municipal party secretary utterly worthless.
The bedroom door finally opened, and a middle-aged man with a stern face but a relatively calm demeanor emerged. He had slicked-back hair, wore loose-fitting pajamas and slippers, and sat down opposite Li Yang. He coldly ignored the injured and helpless nanny/personal assistant. Li Yang knew his wife wasn't home; she was supposedly staying with their son, but the son was often away too. In reality, their marriage had long been a sham, but Cai Lan's status and power forced the woman to maintain this marital status. As a leader, she couldn't file for divorce, much less openly remarry—that would be extremely inappropriate and have a very negative impact.
So even though Cai Lan hadn't touched his wife for over a decade, the woman still had to carefully maintain her status and endure her nightly hunger and loneliness. She dared not risk disturbing him or finding a gigolo to comfort herself. At most, she would hide in Cai Qingni's villa, which was nominally her son's, but she never actually went home for a month. She would spend some time at night watching porn or playing with a vibrator to console herself.
“Li Yang, you’re too arrogant! Don’t think that just because Ye Qing is backing you up, you can act wildly and look down on everyone here! What you did today is illegal. Trespassing and assaulting someone without cause are serious crimes. Do you believe I can get you in here with just one phone call?” Cai Lan sat down and stared at Li Yang with a cold gaze, threatening him.
Li Yang was also intently watching Cai Lan. He had come here purely to vent his personal anger and cause trouble. As for where his parents were being held, Li Yang had obtained the most specific information after Cai Lan came out and sat down, including the address, the number of guards, their fighting strength, and the location and strength of the force. Knowing that his parents were not in mortal danger, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, yet was also filled with rage. However, his current status and level of understanding were different; even though he was seething with anger, he appeared calm on the surface.
"Cai Lan, do you think your nonsense can scare me? If I were scared by your words, would I still be alive today? And living such a comfortable life? Believe me, if I'm in a good mood later, I'll use your girl as a flower stylist!" Li Yang sneered, showing no mercy and extremely arrogant and domineering attitude. He glanced at the tender woman lying under the coffee table, too afraid to come out, and smiled coldly.
"Li Yang, let me tell you, you'd better watch your position. I'm telling you, you can't be arrogant for much longer. The National Security Bureau has been watching you for a while now and has already begun planning to deal with you. Sooner or later, you'll be doomed! This is your destiny, your inescapable doom!"
Chapter 739: Dying on a Woman's Belly
Cai Lan was driven nearly mad by Li Yang's rage, and in a fit of fury, threw a grenade, causing Li Yang's heart to race. A sense of crisis washed over him. However, he wasn't afraid. He had been so focused on finding information about his parents that he had overlooked other details. Now, reviewing the information he'd gleaned from Cai Lan's mind, Li Yang confirmed Cai Lan's words: this bastard had indeed reported him to some national security department. However, he wasn't entirely sure of the outcome; most of it was just a bluff.
"I'm so scared~" Li Yang sneered, saying he was scared, but his expression showed no fear whatsoever. Clearly, he wasn't scared; he was just saying it on purpose.
