"What's the matter?" Qian Long scratched the back of his head, asking in confusion.
"Although Situ Jue, that old fox, has been captured, he's far from harmless. Moreover, he has close ties with the Sakura Country. I'm worried people from the Sakura Country might try to rescue him, so I need you to follow Murong Xue."
"If anyone from the Sakura Country appears, capture them all," Li Yang ordered sternly.
"They wouldn't be that bold, would they? That's the Public Security. Everyone in Public Security has guns. Situ Jue has already been arrested, so why would they still try to save him?" Qian Long continued to ask.
"Because Situ Jue holds too many clues and evidence regarding the Sakura Country's smuggling of national treasures. Even if they don't rescue him, I suspect they'll try to assassinate him. That's why you must follow," Li Yang instructed.
"Oh, alright, Master. This is on me."
Qian Long suddenly understood. After careful consideration, what Li Yang said made perfect sense.
Although he hadn't dealt with those people from the Sakura Country before, Situ Jue was almost bound to them. Situ Jue's arrest would have a huge impact on them, and they wouldn't let him go easily.
To completely crush the plans of those treacherous Sakura Country villains, Qian Long was ready to go without hesitation.
After Qian Long also left, Li Yang turned to look at Shui Xiang and Tang Xin Yu, calmly walking towards them.
Shui Xiang had already applied the medicine to Tang Xin Yu. The two of them looked intimate, just like sisters.
After Shui Xiang finished, Tang Xin Yu smiled and said, "Sister Shui, thank you so much. It's truly Li Yang's honor to be friends and do business with someone like you."
"Silly girl, you don't actually think Li Yang and I are just friends, do you?"
Shui Xiang chuckled and leaned into Tang Xin Yu's ear, whispering the truth to her.
When she heard it, Tang Xin Yu was filled with shock!
She looked back at Li Yang in surprise, then at Shui Xiang, confirming their gazes. What Shui Xiang said was indeed true.
Li Yang was about to walk over to explain, but unexpectedly, she proactively linked her arm with Shui Xiang's and said with a smile, "That's wonderful! Sister Shui, then we are sisters. We can be together every day from now on."
"Of course, we'll be good sisters for life," Shui Xiang also said with a smile.
Only Tang Hu Cheng, unaware of their true relationship, listened to their conversation from the side with surprise, his mind a fog, completely clueless about what they were talking about.
A moment later, Li Yang walked over and spoke to Tang Hu Cheng, "Uncle Tang, Situ Jue has been arrested by Public Security. Your Tang family will have no more worries from now on. I hope you can forgive me for the injuries you and Xin Yu sustained this time."
"Li Yang, this has nothing to do with you. You're a good man."
Tang Hu Cheng patted Li Yang's shoulder with relief and smiled, "I was worried you weren't Situ Jue's match. I was prepared to sacrifice myself. I would never let myself implicate you."
"But I never expected you to have planned everything so meticulously. Today was just to lure Situ Jue into the trap. This move is truly profound."
"Uncle Tang, you flatter me. I exhausted all my efforts to deal with Situ Jue. Although he's been dealt with, there are still more difficult people behind him. We might need your help in the future," Li Yang said humbly.
"Don't worry, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you. My Tang family was saved by you, and you and Xin Yu are family. We are all family from now on. We'll share fortune and face difficulties together," Tang Hu Cheng said resolutely.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Sharing fortune and facing difficulties is what brothers say. You are Li Yang's father-in-law."
Tang Xin Yu walked over, unable to resist smiling and joking.
As soon as she said this, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After they were done, they also left Shui Xiang's jade gambling site, and the scene returned to its former quietness.
After watching them leave, Shui Xiang gently came to Li Yang's side, grabbed his arm, and said, "Li Yang, tell me honestly, besides Xin Yu and me, do you have any other women?"
"Just now, that female Public Security officer, I saw how cold she was towards Young Master Qian, but so enthusiastic towards you. Could it be that you two... have something going on?"
"If I had something with her, would Sister Shui be jealous?" Li Yang asked back with a smile.
"Tsk, why would I be jealous? I'm already an old woman. As long as you are good to me, care for me, and cherish me, I'll be content. As for which woman you're with outside, how can I control that?"
"That female Public Security officer, although she has a bit of a temper, she's righteous, beautiful, and has a good figure. If you two could be together, I'd be very happy for you." Shui Xiang's smile bloomed like spring flowers, speaking her true feelings.
Li Yang was deeply moved by this and couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms, saying earnestly, "Sister Shui, don't worry. I will cherish and protect you for the rest of my life and will not fail your love."
"After I deal with those treacherous Sakura Country villains and get the treasure map, I'll take you to the provincial capital. We'll be together forever, and I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."
"You said it, no take-backs!"
Shui Xiang also held Li Yang tightly. As they became lost in their passion, they were about to head to the office for some intimacy.
Unexpectedly, Li Yang suddenly received a call from Murong Xue. As soon as he answered, he heard the bad news: "Li Yang, things are bad. Situ Jue was assassinated and is now in a coma, his life or death unknown. Hurry over here!"
"What?"
Li Yang was shocked. He had already sent Qian Long to the rescue, so how could something like this happen?
He agreed, hung up the phone, and as he was about to leave, Qian Long also rushed back anxiously. As soon as he got out of the car, he reported, "Master, it's not good! Those treacherous Sakura Country villains had set up an ambush on the road in advance. When I led my men to follow Public Security, we fell into the ambush."
"After I dealt with those people, Situ Jue was already dead..."
"Murong Xue called me. Take me there immediately to see."
Li Yang needed to see Situ Jue to know the truth. If Situ Jue could still be saved, he had to be revived.
Qian Long took Li Yang into the car and drove straight to the intersection where the incident had occurred.
When they arrived, they saw a pool of blood on the ground and traces of a struggle.
The Sakura Country experts who had acted just now were extremely agile. Not even bullets had managed to injure them. They not only completed the assassination but also managed to retreat safely!
