Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Ruthless Nangong Chang, The Huo Family Visits To Demand People

Huo Chuan’s gaze coldly swept over bodyguards hired by the Tang Family, his murderous intent in full view. To him, those bodyguards were as good as dead.

Their skills were so woeful that they did not even warrant his direct action; a single one of the Huo Family’s hidden guards could handle them all.

If they dared to lay a hand on his Madam, nine lives wouldn’t be enough to pay for their crime.

"What are you waiting for? Attack!"

Mr. Tang did not believe that Huo Chuan and his men were capable of much, thinking at worst they would end in a stalemate.

Yet, the bodyguards had a certain fear of Huo Chuan and his companions.

These men were not simply paid for intimidation purposes like they were.

From Huo Chuan and his men, they discerned a potent scent of blood, an Evil Qi emanating from countless corpses.

Despite Mr. Tang’s command, none of the bodyguards dared to make a move.

He pointed at the leader of the bodyguards and berated loudly, "Don’t you want the money anymore? You’ll obey when I pay you. Stop embarrassing me here, acting like deep-thinkers when you are just dogs!"

His words were harsh, leaving not just the leader but his teammates visibly upset.

However, Mr. Tang was their employer and they dared only show their anger, but not voice it.

Watching this scene, Huo Chuan laughed, "Little Zhizi, can you hear the dog barking?"

"Um, it’s noisy," replied Huo Zhi, her beautiful face blank and her tone indifferent.

Huo Chuan stared at Mr. Tang with cold eyes and said word by word, "Did you hear that? You’re too noisy. You better shut up!"

Fearing Huo Chuan, Mr. Tang dared not talk back and channelled his anger toward the bodyguards.

He pointed at the captain of the bodyguards and his team, "Good! Very good! I’m filing a complaint now and you will all be fired!"

"Boss Tang..." the captain tried to plead.

Just when his words were out, his face turned to shock.

Huo Zhi stepped up, tripped Mr. Tang and stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.

The young girl looked at him with disgust, "We told you, you’re too loud."

Seeing this, Mrs. Tang was immediately infuriated. "This is illegal! Release him now, or I’m calling the police!"

Huo Zhi gave a signal to one of her subordinates, who subdued Mrs. Tang in the same manner. His mother’s mouth was also gagged to keep her from causing any more noise.

Mrs. Tang was treated slightly better. A cloth torn from her skirt was used to silence her.

Qin Ruan watched this scene, not making a move to stop it.

She then approached Mr. and Mrs. Tang and her Heavenly Eye began to scan.

After some time, her eyes’ faint golden light dissipated.

Qin Ruan spoke lightly, "Tang Ya is not dead."

"Hmmm..."

Mr. and Mrs. Tang made groaning sounds, shaking their heads and glaring at Qin Ruan with eyes wide open.

"Really?"

Standing beside them, Qin Mei, who had been silent since entering the room, now stepped forward, looking hopefully at Qin Ruan.

"Really."

Qin Ruan frowned at Huo Chuan, a bit of confusion showing in her eyes.

Taking a few steps forward, Huo Chuan respectfully asked, "What do you need, Madam?"

Her tone became solemn, "This concerns the Nangong Family."

Huo Chuan’s expression changed instantly, but he quickly reassured, "No matter how big the issue, the Huo Family will bear it. You do not need to worry, just say the word."

Without hesitation, Qin Ruan turned to look at Qin Jingcen and asked, "Big Brother, which hospital did you send Tang Ya to?"

The eldest son of the Qin family provided the name of the hospital.

Qin Ruan turned back to Huo Chuan, "Tang Ya is still in the hospital. She seems to be protected by the Nangong Family. Can you bring her here?"

"No problem, I will go right now."

"Thank you..."

"Madam, there is no need for thanks."

Huo Chuan saluted her and, with a wave of his hand, led his men away from the Qin residence.

After Huo Chuan’s departure, Mr. and Mrs. Tang still struggled while sprawled on the ground.

Qin Ruan didn’t spare them a glance.

Walking over to her father and elder brother, she solemnly said, "The child in Tang Ya’s stomach is no more. But Tang Ya herself does not face any threat to her life. This is retaliation from the Nangong family towards the Qin family."

With the help of her Heavenly Eye, she was able to discern the rough causes and effects.

The matter of Tang Ya involved traces of the Nangong Family.

"So, it really is like that?" Qin Jingcen furrowed his eyebrows, his handsome face extremely discontent.

If it was indeed the case, why would Tang Ya do what she did yesterday?

Several years ago, Nangong Chang had sent his people to warn him, and now, for Tang Ya, he was taking action against the Qin family. If it wasn’t genuine love, then it must be psychotic behavior.

Qin Ruan’s gaze turned to Qin Jingcen’s bewildered countenance, "Big Brother, was Tang Ya trying to force a marriage on you yesterday?"

"Yes." The face of the eldest Qin son was full of remorse.

The memory of yesterday was an insult to him.

When Qin Ruan saw his pale face and clear signs of struggle, something in her heart stirred.

She wondered what Tang Ya had subjected her elder brother to.

Suppressing her anger, Qin Ruan asked with a grave tone, "What did she do to you?"

"She drugged me, hoping to get pregnant and use it as leverage to marry me." Qin Jingcen lowered his head, unable to face his younger siblings’ probing looks.

Such an event was a major humiliation for him.

"This woman really has no sense of shame!" Qin Mei vented angrily, gritting his teeth as if he shared in Qin Jingcen’s experience.

Qin Ruan’s gaze swept towards the neatly arranged shirt of Qin Jingcen, remembering the scars she had just seen beneath it.

Her face slowly darkened, and a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes, along with a trace of heartache.

"She harmed you, and I will personally exact retribution from her."

If Tang Ya dared to fake her death and plot to seize the Qin Family’s assets, she would not let a single member of the Tang Family off.

Upon hearing this, the young Qin master seemed slightly embarrassed.

His carelessness was to blame yesterday, otherwise he wouldn’t have experienced all that.

He was grateful that he’d resisted until the end, not overstepping boundaries with Tang Ya.

However, those experiences were enough to cast a shadow over his lifetime.

Admitting that his younger sister needed to stand up for him was difficult, and it left him feeling very defeated.

Qin Anguo sat silently, listening to the three children’s discussion, never interjecting.

He was getting old, he’d handed over the company’s affairs to his eldest son. His daughter was married into the Huo Family, and his second son, who seemed carefree, was also quite sensible.

It seemed it was truly time for him to let go.

His children had their own paths to navigate, and all he hoped for now was to live a bit longer to enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by his grandchildren.

...

At the same time.

In the hospital, Tang Ya was crying into the arms of a strange man next to her, tears pouring down like rain.

"Achang, we lost our baby. It was a boy and ...we’ll never have children again..."

She had had too many abortions. Now that she’d lost this child, she would never be able to be a mother again.

The man holding Tang Ya was neither good looking nor ugly.

But what stood out more than his looks was the air of nobility, cultivated from being part of a powerful family, which ordinary people could not match.

Nangong Chang, the eldest son of the Nangong Family, one of the six prominent aristocratic families.

He genuinely liked Tang Ya, liking her weak persona as well as her compliance in bed, seemingly content whatever he did to her.

His fondness fell short of love and could not be measured against family interests.

As Nangong Chang caressed Tang Ya’s frail shoulders, noticing the old whip scars on them, his gaze darkened, hinting a faint desire.

These were whip wounds that had been healing for half a month.

Tang Ya’s body was filled with various scars, all of which were gifts from him.

This woman seemed weak, but her body was remarkably resilient.

No matter how much he tormented her, it seemed she would not break.

Nangong Chang shifted his gaze, comforting Tang Ya in a mild tone, "I’ll be with you. Once you’re discharged, the Qin Family will cease to exist."

"Really?" Tang Ya lifted her head abruptly, her face filled with emotion and her eyes glistening with tears.

It was always this sort of response that made Nangong Chang lose his control.

In her weakness, there was profound faith.

It was as if he was her deity, her light, her world.

He was the only one who could manipulate her, as if he was her executioner.

Nangong Chang sighed internally, laments that he wasn’t able to indulge in her at the moment.

Tang Ya had just undergone surgery, and was not in a state to handle physical activity.

Nangong Chang shielded her captivating eyes, reassuring her in a deep voice, "It’s true, I’m not lying."

Destroying the insignificant Qin Family to please his favorite plaything was a simple affair to him, something as easy as lifting a finger.

He was soon to be married. Once he was married to Xiao Wenrou, he would have to drop his previous pleasures for a while.

Tang Ya was the only one that he could still keep around for a while longer. Nangong Chang thought this was a very good idea.

He had looked into the Qin Family, they didn’t have much background. There were numerous people in Capital City wanting to climb up the social ladder, if the Qin Family disappeared, others would quickly replace them.

As for the Qin Family’s assets, they did not even register in Nangong Chang’s eyes.

If Tang Ya’s parents wanted them, he would let them have it.

For now, all he wanted was Tang Ya. This woman was easy and trouble-free to handle, and most importantly, she could no longer get pregnant. He could play with her freely.

Xiao Wenrou knew of Tang Ya’s existence. A barren woman like her posed no threat, so there wouldn’t be any conflicts over Tang Ya after their marriage.

Unaware that she was only considered a plaything to Nangong Chang, Tang Ya nestled herself in his arms, softly speaking, "Thank you, Achang."

Nangong Chang subtly stroked Tang Ya’s earlobe.

His deep, dangerous eyes fixated on the whip scars on her shoulder as he spoke in a low, raspy voice, "I’ve missed you these past few days. Take care of yourself and get well soon."

"Mm." Tang Ya blushed, instantly understanding what he had in mind.

As the two shared a tender moment, there was a knock on the ward door.

"What is it?" Nangong Chang laid on the hospital bed, holding Tang Ya, speaking in a voice filled with discontent.

"Young Master, someone from the Huo Family is here."

At this news, an expression of surprise appeared in Nangong Chang’s eyes, his face turning solemn.

Regardless of Tang Ya’s recent surgery, he pushed her aside, stood up to straighten his shirt, and strode towards the door.

He opened the door from inside, and the outsider came into view.

Naturally, Nangong Chang recognized Huo Chuan, who was always by Huo Family’s third young master’s side.

A smile appeared on his face, "Isn’t this Huo Chuan, the one always following the third young master? What brings you here? How has the third young master been recently?"

Huo Chuan’s demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, he slightly bowed, "Young Master Nangong, the third young master is doing well."

"What brings you to the hospital? Does the third young master need something from me?"

Nangong Chang was puzzled. He and the third young master Huo had always kept their distance, and for many years, Nangong Chang had looked down upon Huo for his frail health.

Despite this, he always had to call him by the respectful term - the third young master.
