Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Just to Satisfy My Own Conscience

Over here, Fang Yi and Song Wuliang took Yao Tong out of the KTV. As soon as they stepped out, several figures came running towards them weeping loudly.

At the forefront was old Yao, the grandfather. Seeing Yao Tong, he spread his arms wide and cried out, "My granddaughter, oh, Grandpa has finally seen you!"

"Grandpa," Yao Tong hugged the old man, tears streaming down.

Afterward, Yao Tong met with her father, Yao Tai, and her brothers Yao Bo and Yao Dong. Family reunions were always particularly touching, with endless things to talk about and express.

Suddenly, a sigh was heard. Song Wuliang, with a look of envy, said, "Ah, if only my old man would treat me like that, and not push me to study all the time, how nice that would be."

Fang Yi felt that the Song family patriarch and Song Wuliang were cut from the same cloth, both having similar temperaments. Seeing him so moved, he did not disturb him. However, at that moment, he noticed Li Xue wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

"Crying, crying, what’s there to cry about? You’re an adult, how is this proper?" Fang Yi patted her head.

"I’m not crying, I’m just moved," Li Xue defiantly wiped her eyes one last time and then said, "Don’t pat the head of this heroine."

Fang Yi gave a sheepish smile; it was completely spontaneous.

"Yes, we’re happy and moved to see them reunite, but remember, there are many more people waiting for us to rescue them," Fang Yi said seriously.

Li Xue nodded vigorously; however, just then, a guard vehicle sped toward them, and an old man got out—it was Bai from the Bai Family.

"Holy smokes, what’s Bai doing here? Don’t tell me my grandfather is here too," Song Wuliang exclaimed with wide eyes.

When Fang Yi saw Bai, he frowned.

Perhaps Song Wuliang was unlucky tonight, a real jinx, because right after Bai got out, another old man disembarked—it truly was Song’s grandfather.

"Damn! I need to run away!" Song Wuliang slicked away.

"Song Wuliang, you little rascal, stop right there!" Song’s grandfather roared with an intimidating presence.

Song Wuliang dared not run further and had to stop.

Both Song’s grandfather and Bai approached, but they weren’t heading towards Fang Yi. Bai walked straight to Li Xue and said, "Li Xue, come with me. Your dad just called, insisting I bring you back."

Li Xue’s face turned pale instantly; she was reluctant, but she also feared her father. Caught in a dilemma, she involuntarily looked at Fang Yi.

At that moment, Song Wuliang was being lectured by Song’s grandfather. When he looked back, his face was a picture of misery and helplessness.

Actually, Fang Yi had guessed as much, but he wouldn’t make it difficult for these two. Honestly, he felt grateful to them.

Song Wuliang was quickly ushered into the vehicle, not even having a chance to talk to Fang Yi. Meanwhile, Li Xue hesitated before approaching.

"This heroine... this heroine is sorry for involving you," Li Xue said with a guilt-ridden face.

"It’s me who should be sorry. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have dragged you into it," Fang Yi replied with a smile.

"No, it’s fine. At most, I’ll get a scolding when I go back. You haven’t dragged me into anything," Li Xue assured him, though she knew it was more than just a scolding awaiting her; she would be grounded.

Fang Yi nodded then lit a cigarette.

"You... you should not go either. Soon all these guards will be called back, and those places are dens of danger. As the saying goes, ’two fists can’t defeat four hands;’ no matter how good a fighter you are alone, it probably won’t help," Li Xue advised.

However, Fang Yi just shook his head, "Once I decide on something, I don’t change it."

Li Xue’s face showed guilt: "I’m sorry." After saying that, she felt very helpless and began arranging for the guards to withdraw.

They arrived in grand fashion, but leaving felt utterly humiliating.

The old Mr. Bai stood at a distance, watching Fang Yi with a cold snort, then turned and walked away with his hands clasped behind his back.

The old Mr. Song hesitated for a moment but still came over.

"Mr. Song," Fang Yi greeted him with a smile, showing no signs of disappointment.

"Fang Yi, my boy...sigh," Mr. Song sighed and said, "I know all about the issues between you and my two grandsons. I can ignore that, but going against Haoyue..."

Fang Yi replied, "You know I’m opposing your Haoyue, and you don’t want to say anything?"

Mr. Song looked up at the night sky and said, "He... is no longer considered my grandson."

Fang Yi was startled at first, then confusedly asked, "Why?"

Mr. Song sighed again, a mix of regret, emotion, and helplessness.

"When an eagle’s wings are hard, it flies high. When a carp has leaped over the dragon gate, it will no longer linger just beneath it. Moreover, it’s not only Moon City that has the Song family, Tianjing also has the Song family. The Song family in Moon City is just a branch of the Tianjing main family."

At this point, Mr. Song said, "Just like that girl just now, she came from Tianjing. It sounds nice to say the four great families of Moon City are untouchable. But only us old folks know that there is a huge mountain pressing down on us all, insurmountable and inescapable."

Fang Yi remained silent.

Mr. Song raised his hand and patted Fang Yi on the shoulder, saying, "Fang Yi, you are very good. Don’t be rash. If you ruin yourself, there’s no coming back."

Fang Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Elder, my life isn’t worth much. Those girls, their lives are valuable. They haven’t even enjoyed their youth, they are young but live in darkness. If I didn’t know about this, I could ignore it; but since I have stumbled upon it, no matter if your grandson is an eagle or a carp that has leapt over the dragon gate, I must give it a try. Not for anything else, but to live up to my own conscience."

Mr. Song was rendered speechless.

Fang Yi, with a cigarette in his mouth, stood there, smiling as he watched Mr. Song get into the car.

I, with a clear conscience.

"Brother Fang," Yao Tong’s timid and soft voice came, with Yao Bo and Yao Dong standing by her side, looking expectantly at Fang Yi.

"You two... still want to come with me?" Fang Yi exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It will be very dangerous."

Yao Dong, as always, stoic, said, "I want to follow you, Brother Fang."

Yao Bo slapped his chest robustly and said, "There are more girls like Tongtong, I can’t just sit by and do nothing. I’m stubborn like that; those bad people, I want them to know, to be human, you can’t be without a conscience."

Fang Yi smiled, flicked the cigarette butt away with his fingers, and said, "Let’s go!"

A single word "go," sounded like thunder.

...

Moon City Airport.

"Attention all passengers, the flight from Tianjing to North Moon City Airport has just arrived..."

A handsome man, accompanied by a woman, walked off the plane.

The handsome man’s eyes were as profound as a wolf’s, his gaze sharp, exuding an indomitable aura.

The woman following the handsome man, clad in leather, her curves attracting continuous glances from passersby in the airport.

However, soon the allure of the wild beauty was overshadowed by another woman.
