"Alright Mr. Li, I'll take my leave first. See you tomorrow."
Qian Long respectfully withdrew and turned to leave.
Just as he reached the doorway, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "Oh right, Mr. Li, I promised to give you two stone gambling shops. How about I take you to check them out tomorrow morning?"
"That sounds good. We'll be in touch then," Li Yang nodded.
Qian Long left the bar first. Li Yang remembered he had promised Fang Xiaoqing that evening to attend Elder Fang's banquet.
Coincidentally, Qian Long had just given Li Yang a gift. Li Yang thought of giving the jade statue to Elder Fang as a congratulatory gift.
With that thought, Li Yang also got up and left the private room.
But not long after he walked out, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a familiar face. Upon closer inspection, it was Tang Xinyu.
Why was it her?
Li Yang frowned. He had clearly seen Tang Xinyu being supported by several men as she left earlier. Something was clearly wrong.
Tang Xinyu was not a casual woman, nor would she casually go out for drinks with other men.
This scene directly made Li Yang suspect she had been abducted!
Without a word, Li Yang chased after them. Indeed, he saw the two men supporting Tang Xinyu had ill intentions, directly forcing Tang Xinyu into a car.
Once she was taken away, no one could guarantee what would happen that night.
Li Yang clenched his fists. As they made their move, he quickly rushed forward, placing a hand on the shoulder of one of the burly men and said coldly, "Hey, let the person inside go."
"Who are you? Just a young brat, daring to meddle in our business?" The burly man turned and saw Li Yang, asking coldly.
"I am someone you cannot afford to offend!"
As Li Yang's words fell, he didn't bother with pleasantries and threw a punch at the burly man, sending him flying instantly!
With a bang!
The burly man's head hit the ground, and he plunged face-first onto the ground. The remaining men were stunned!
"Holy cow, what's going on?"
"A master has arrived!"
The others snapped back to reality, baring their teeth as they grabbed weapons from the car and charged at Li Yang.
Li Yang sneered and, in a few swift moves, knocked down the rest of them.
He walked up to the leader of the burly men, placing a foot on his face and asking, "I'm asking you, who sent you to abduct the person in the car? Where were you taking her?"
"You, who exactly are you!" The burly man wanted to ascertain Li Yang's identity so he could seek revenge later.
"Answer my questions honestly, or I'll kill you right now!" Li Yang said with a stern expression.
At the same time, Li Yang pressed down, causing blood to seep from the burly man's mouth, as if he could die at any moment.
He looked at Li Yang fearfully, afraid Li Yang would really kill him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "Brother, don't kill me, I'll tell you. The boss of Black Wind Stone Gambling City sent us."
"Black Wind Stone Gambling City? How is Tang Xinyu related to that stone gambling city?" Li Yang asked with a puzzled look.
"We are just subordinates of Master Hei. We don't know the specifics. We were just ordered to trick Tang Xinyu out, use the pretense of cooperation to drink with her, drug her, and then take her back to Master Hei."
"We know nothing else," the burly man continued.
"If you dare to lie to me, even if you go to the ends of the earth, I will kill you. Now get lost!"
Li Yang saw his extreme fear and assumed he wasn't lying. He let out a cold roar and sent him away.
Immediately, Li Yang quickly got into the car and rescued Tang Xinyu.
Tang Xinyu was groggy and her consciousness was very hazy. She had no idea what she was going through.
Li Yang channeled a surge of true qi into her chest. Her complexion quickly returned to normal, and she gradually woke up from her unconsciousness.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Li Yang in front of her. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Li Yang, why are you here? What happened to me just now?"
"You were almost captured by scoundrels. You were tricked."
Li Yang explained what had happened there. Through recalling, she slowly remembered that she was out to discuss cooperation today. But after drinking a cup of wine, she felt her head grow heavy, and then she knew nothing else.
"By the way, Li Yang, do you know who targeted me?" Tang Xinyu asked again after regaining her senses.
"It was people from Black Wind Stone Gambling City. I wanted to ask you, do you have any grievances with Black Wind Stone Gambling City? Why would their boss target you?" Li Yang asked curiously.
"So it was them!"
Tang Xinyu's delicate eyebrows furrowed. After regaining her senses, she said, "Recently, our Tang family's antique shop encountered some trouble. Because a batch of goods was swapped, resulting in heavy losses."
"After investigation, these incidents were indeed carried out by people from Black Wind Stone Gambling City. At first, they refused to admit it, but later we obtained evidence and threatened to call the police. Only then did they compromise and ask me to come over tonight to retrieve the goods."
"But I didn't expect this to happen after I arrived."
"I see now. Xinyu, don't worry. With me here, no one can bully you. Moreover, I will avenge you for tonight." Li Yang said seriously to Tang Xinyu.
"However, the people from Black Wind Stone Gambling City are very insidious. You must remain calm and not act impulsively."
Tang Xinyu immediately grabbed Li Yang's hands and earnestly stopped him, saying, "I don't want to see you get into trouble because of me. I won't be able to sleep if that happens."
"Don't worry, a mere Black Wind Stone Gambling City can't harm me?"
Li Yang comforted Tang Xinyu, smiled, and said, "I'll take you home first. Leave the rest to me. I'll give you a satisfactory answer by tomorrow night."
"Mmm, thank you, Li Yang. You're so kind." Tang Xinyu was deeply moved and took the initiative to lean her head on Li Yang's chest, hugging him gently.
After Li Yang comforted her for a while, he took her home.
At the doorstep, Tang Xinyu held Li Yang's hand reluctantly and said, "Aren't you coming up for a bit? I'm home alone tonight. We could do something else."
"Another day. I wanted to spend time with you tonight, but I also promised someone else to attend a banquet. I'll come to your place tomorrow night to accompany you."
Li Yang politely declined and then smiled and bid her farewell.
If he hadn't promised Fang Xiaoqing to attend the banquet during the day, Li Yang definitely wouldn't have left tonight.
Tang Xinyu's passion and the excitement she brought Li Yang were irreplaceable. Her skills were superb, and Li Yang felt thrilled just thinking about it.
But since he couldn't have a date with her tonight, after watching her go home, he called Fang Xiaoqing to ask for her location.
As soon as the other end picked up, she said with a giggle, "Li Yang, are you done? Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
