Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Sheltering

City A, Yan Family Mansion.

The first family dinner after Yan Sijue’s return was not very harmonious.

The quiet dining room was filled only with the clinking of knives and forks.

"Sijue?" Old Sir Yan suddenly spoke.

Yan Sijue put down his knife and fork: "Grandpa, do you need something?"

"Have you found out who did it?" Old Sir Yan asked sternly.

Yan Sijue smiled faintly: "Of course it’s the enemy."

Old Sir Yan’s eyebrows twitched, seeming somewhat angry.

The atmosphere at the dining table momentarily froze.

"I asked you who exactly!" Old Sir Yan repeated.

"Probably arms smugglers... worried that the Yan Family is encroaching on their business. Who exactly it is is still under investigation." Yan Sijue smiled, "Grandpa, you don’t need to worry, I’ll just be more careful next time."

Old Sir Yan pursed his lips, a hint of bitterness and helplessness flickering in his eyes.

The more lightly Yan Sijue treated the matter, the less Old Sir Yan could let it go.

Anyone with clear sight could see that Yan Sijue’s recent danger stemmed from someone within the Yan Family betraying him. If Old Sir Yan did nothing, it would be equivalent to condoning the other party’s actions, leading them to become more audacious. Even those who hadn’t planned so might find themselves acting out.

Right now, all the responsibilities of the Yan Family rested on Yan Sijue. Besides him, no one could carry on this business empire. Yan Sijue’s safety was the utmost priority; such incidents must not happen again.

Yan Sijue’s silence on the matter was also a form of pressure on him. If Old Sir Yan dealt with it, there might still be some room for negotiation, but if he did nothing, Yan Sijue’s actions could reach unimaginable extents.

After all, they were his descendants. Old Sir Yan couldn’t help but hate the other party’s incompetence, yet he had to handle it.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Haohao!"

Yan Haixiang’s hand immediately trembled, and he reluctantly responded: "Grandpa, you called for me?"

"How have you been handling things lately?" Old Sir Yan frowned, "Hand over your tasks to Ya Zhuo and go oversee things in T City."

Yan Haixiang’s cheeks twitched violently. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing the indifferent faces around the table, his expression turned bleak.

Even Yan Feiyu didn’t plead for him—after all, he already had a son who allowed him to stand tall, so he didn’t care much about what happened to the other.

"I understand, Grandpa..." Yan Haixiang responded in a low voice, knowing that his actions hadn’t escaped Old Sir Yan, and Yan Sijue was likely even more aware.

He even allowed himself to be reckless, taking the opportunity to get rid of him.

They were supposed to be brothers... but precisely because they were brothers, Yan Haixiang felt even more unwilling. He was insanely jealous of Yan Sijue, ultimately taking reckless risks, but Yan Sijue, with his great fortune, returned unharmed, while he faced the prospect of complete downfall!

"Alright, continue eating." After saying this, Old Sir Yan instinctively glanced at Yan Sijue.

Old Sir Yan’s handling was clearly still mostly protective of Yan Haixiang. Of course, Yan Sijue knew this, but it wasn’t his aim to do anything significant to Yan Haixiang; as long as there was no chance for Yan Haixiang to target him, Yan Sijue had no intention to annihilate him completely.

So, he gave a faint smile, indicating his acceptance of the outcome.

Only then did Old Sir Yan slightly relax.

Yet, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of complexity in his heart.
