Free Web NovelChapter 2047: Chapter 2020: The Yang Family’s Reaction
Perhaps Sima Lingyun knows that these matters are related to the Yang Family. Perhaps due to the status and identity of the Yang Family, he temporarily doesn’t dare to make a move against them, but it can be imagined that the internal members of the Yanhuang Group that the Yang Family bribed with great cost will be completely wiped out, captured entirely by Sima Lingyun.
Moreover, once Sima Lingyun finds a suitable opportunity, he certainly wouldn’t mind delivering a devastating blow to the Yang Family, possibly even teaming up with Lu Tianxing to deal with them. This is definitely not good news for the Yang Family.
Upon hearing Yang Si’s words, Yang Anlong’s face also turned extremely grim, emitting a slightly uncontrollable chilling aura, as he said in a hoarse voice, "Yang Chai, I had you arrange for someone to investigate on Qin Island to see if Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang were dead. How is the investigation going?"
Upon hearing Yang Anlong’s words, Yang Chai, sitting beside him, immediately spoke up, "Family Head, we have temporarily been unable to find out. On Qin Island, it’s as if Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang have mysteriously disappeared, with no trace at all. Moreover, it’s as if all clues regarding them have been erased by an invisible hand. Even people from the Qiu Family are unsure whether Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang are alive or dead."
Pausing here, Yang Chai continued, "If we genuinely want to know whether Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang are dead or alive, we can only start with Qiu Zhengfeng. However, during this period, Qiu Zhengfeng has stayed in the hospital, with experts protecting Qiu Yingrong and her mother; I’m worried we might alert them, so we’ve held back."
"So you still haven’t confirmed whether Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang are alive or dead?"
Yang Anlong picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it for himself, and took a harsh drag, the smoke swirling around his face, making his expression even gloomier.
"No."
Yang Chai shook his head and said, "Qin Island is now like an iron fortress. Whether it is the Qiu Family or that old Jiang Liufeng, they have secretly assigned people to monitor everything on Qin Island. We simply do not dare to conduct a high-profile investigation."
"Family Head, what should we do next? If Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang aren’t dead but instead fall into the hands of the Yanhuang Group, it’s definitely not good news for us."
As soon as Yang Chai’s words fell, a member of the Yang Family couldn’t help but speak up, "I believe our most pressing task isn’t to deal with Lu Tianxing, but first to clarify the status of Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang. Otherwise, once Sima Lingyun obtains irrefutable evidence or gains enough confidence, he will definitely act against the Yang Family."
"Family Head, I think Yang Wu is correct."
Another member of the Yang Family spoke up, "I believe the most crucial task is to find out the whereabouts of Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang. Otherwise, if Chen Kunchang reveals everything he knows to Sima Lingyun, all our efforts over the years will be in vain..."
"If we get caught up in this matter now, what about Lu Tianxing?"
Before the person could finish speaking, another person began to object, "Everyone knows how terrifying Lu Tianxing is now. If Lu Tianxing charges into our Yang Family, how many of us would be able to withstand it? I think our immediate focus should not be on finding Chen Kunchang and Wan Chang’an; our primary goal should be to deal with Lu Tianxing. Once Lu Tianxing is dealt with, everything will be fine; Sima Lingyun wouldn’t dare act against us."
"Does Sima Lingyun really not dare to act against us?"
Yang Chai sneered from the side, "Do you really think Sima Lingyun is a soft touch? Believe it or not, when Sima Lingyun is absolutely sure he can deal with our Yang Family, he will undoubtedly uproot us. Although Lu Tianxing’s power is considerable, he still doesn’t pose a mortal threat to us and doesn’t have the capability to destroy our Yang Family. But Sima Lingyun has that capacity because he is the head of the Yanhuang Group and a disciple of Ji Xingyun."
"I think you all should know just how terrifying Ji Xingyun is. Sima Lingyun has already obtained Ji Xingyun’s true teachings and has surpassed him, unable to tolerate any flaw. Do you think, after what happened, Sima Lingyun will let our Yang Family off easily? Once he reaches the Late Stage of Mythical or has the capital to bring down our Yang Family, do you think he would spare us? Or will it be then, Yang Tianshi, that you kneel on the ground begging Sima Lingyun to spare you?"
"Yang Chai, what do you mean by this?"
The man, Yang Tianshi, who had felt ridiculed by Yang Chai, suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Your son joined the Yanhuang Group and became a high-ranking member. He met his end because he stupidly provoked Lu Tianxing without any real skills, and his death was deserved, a result of overestimating himself. Moreover, your son died at Lu Tianxing’s hands, not Sima Lingyun’s hands. It’s already generous of Sima Lingyun not to hold our Yang Family accountable. Yet, you incite us to go against Sima Lingyun; what are you scheming? Do you want us to follow you into oblivion?"
"Yang Tianshi, you’re courting death..."
Yang Chai’s eyes turned exceedingly menacing, his entire demeanor emanating an undeniable chill.
Back in Modu, the one who died at Lu Tianxing’s hands was his son. He hated Lu Tianxing, wishing he could tear him to pieces. But he also hated Sima Lingyun because his son, a member of the Yanhuang Group, had been killed by Lu Tianxing. Yet, as the head of the Yanhuang Group, Sima Lingyun did nothing, allowing such a murderer to roam free. He wanted Lu Tianxing dead, and more so, he wanted to tear Sima Lingyun apart.
"Enough!"
At this moment, Yang Anlong, who hadn’t spoken up, suddenly did, his voice filled with a deep and hoarse tone, "Shut up, all of you."
Upon hearing Yang Anlong’s voice and seeing his expression, both Yang Chai and Yang Tianshi gave a heavy snort and sat back down on the sofa.
Yang Anlong took another drag of his cigarette, pressing the butt harshly into the ashtray, his eyes flashing with a sinister glint, "Hmph, Yang Chai is right. Our pressing task is to find out the whereabouts of Wan Chang’an and Chen Kunchang and not deal with Lu Tianxing. Besides, we do not need to act against Lu Tianxing; others will naturally deal with him, and we merely need to assist from the sidelines."
"Others dealing with Lu Tianxing?"
Upon hearing Yang Anlong’s words, Yang Si immediately spoke up, "Family Head, do you mean Tang Qingyun will make a move against Lu Tianxing?"
