At the entrance of the family compound!
A man and a woman were biting each other's mouths, unable to determine a winner.
Soon, the woman seemed to be at a disadvantage, finally giving up and glaring at the other party, "Enough, there are outsiders watching!"
Ye Cangtian was still not satisfied, and said dismissively, "What are you afraid of? They're envious!"
Not far away, two sentry soldiers exchanged glances, then consciously shifted their bodies to the side.
Tang Xinwan tidied her clothes, her pretty face blushing as she chided Ye Cangtian with a glance, "In broad daylight, aren't you ashamed!"
Ye Cangtian shrugged, somewhat helplessly. If he remembered correctly, he wasn't the one who made the first move earlier, was he?
However, he was somewhat surprised by the other party's initiative, and felt even more delighted in his heart.
They've kissed, is the next step far behind?
Tang Xinwan obviously also felt that her actions just now were a bit too bold, and her cheeks grew hotter. She hurriedly turned around and changed the subject, "Let's go, I've already packed my luggage, and we're returning to Yangzhou now!"
"Going back already?" Ye Cangtian was stunned.
"Yes, Murong Yu will be enough for the branch company. When the company opens in a while, we'll come to Kyoto again!"
The main reason Tang Xinwan planned to return to Yangzhou quickly was her concern about the Yuwen family retaliating against Ye Cangtian, as this was Kyoto, their territory.
She didn't want Ye Cangtian to have any more accidents because of her!
Ye Cangtian nodded. He didn't say anything, but he understood her thoughts very well.
It just so happened that Old Master Xu also asked him to return to Yangzhou to lie low, so he had no objections.
The two of them got into the car and drove away slowly.
Only then did a figure with a complicated expression appear at the entrance of the family compound.
Xu Weiwei looked at the departing Bentley Mulsanne, then down at the osmanthus cake wrapped in oiled paper in her hand. She couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling a strange sense of melancholy.
"Sister, why are you still here? Has Brother Ye left?"
Xu Shian walked over, smiling and teasing, "I said why you got up so early to make osmanthus cake today. It turns out you wanted to give it to Brother Ye before he left!"
"I'd give it to a pig before I give it to him!"
Xu Weiwei said expressionlessly, then turned and threw the bag of pastries into the trash can before turning to leave.
"..."
Xu Shian was a bit bewildered. Did he miss something?
...
More than a hundred kilometers outside Kyoto City!
There was a secret base here, housing an elite troop. This entire area was a signal blind spot, a region that wouldn't even appear on maps.
Prison Number One was located here.
This prison had a history of several hundred years, originally established during the Ming Dynasty by the Brocade-Clad Guard, primarily for detaining death row inmates.
Although it had been abandoned for a period, decades ago, China reopened this prison and upgraded its specifications to the highest level.
Currently, Prison Number One held all sorts of dangerous individuals!
To prevent dangerous inmates from escaping, not only was an elite troop stationed here long-term, but even the base of the Dragon Group was built here.
Dark, damp, and heavily fortified!
These were the only characteristics of the prison.
Furthermore, Prison Number One differed from many modern prisons in many ways, as it completely retained its ancient prison facilities.
The cells were dark and lightless, with no lights at all. Even the guards moved through the corridors carrying torches.
This was also the terrifying aspect of Prison Number One. If you were imprisoned here, you would face darkness every day, and over time, even those with firm minds would be driven mad by the torment.
Yuwen Chengji followed a guard through the dark and damp corridor.
They soon arrived at a cell, and the guard opened the heavy iron door.
After Yuwen Chengji stepped into the cell, the guard hung the torch on the wall, closed the iron door, and left.
The cell was eerily quiet, as if the sound of a falling needle could be heard. However, through the light of the torch, one could clearly see a person sitting on a stone bed not far away.
His hair was messy, his clothes tattered, and he was covered in filth, as if he hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
Surprisingly, in this prison with extreme defenses, this person's hands and feet were shackled with sturdy iron chains.
This indicated the level of danger this person posed.
"How does it feel here?" Yuwen Chengji glanced at the prisoner, who had his eyes closed and remained motionless.
The other party said nothing, not even moving an eyelid.
Yuwen Chengji was not angered, and smiled, "Zhao Ziyang, the former top expert of the Dragon Group. If you hadn't killed so many people during your inspection, you would have become a master in the Hidden Group by now!"
"It's just a pity that your wife and child were violated and killed, causing you to lose control. You massacred a hundred people in one night, causing a great disaster!"
"What do you want to say?"
The prisoner slowly opened his eyes. There was no emotion in his pupils. His voice was somewhat cold.
Beneath his messy hair, a face with sharp features was revealed. However, his beard was very long, clearly not trimmed for a long time, making him look very disheveled.
He was called Zhao Ziyang, the former top expert of the Dragon Group!
At that time, he was highly valued by the Hidden Group. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have entered the Hidden Group eight years ago.
However, eight years ago, his wife and daughter in a small county town were bullied and killed by a local tyrant. Zhao Ziyang returned to his hometown and, in his rage, massacred all those related to the tyrant in one night, totaling over a hundred people.
Thus, a person with boundless prospects became a wanted fugitive in China overnight and was hunted by his colleagues.
However, Zhao Ziyang was indeed extremely formidable. Under the encirclement of dozens of Dragon Group members, he still managed to break through and escape abroad.
If he hadn't secretly sneaked back into China a year ago, it would have been truly difficult for the Dragon Group to capture him.
Yuwen Chengji shook his head and sighed, "What a pity. You killed so many people, it's only right that you're imprisoned here."
"Those people deserved to die!" Zhao Ziyang said indifferently.
Yuwen Chengji smiled, "Whether they deserved to die or not, you killed so many people, you deserve to pay with your life!"
"Then I accept my fate!"
"Accept your fate? Have you never thought about getting out?" Yuwen Chengji's lips curled up slightly.
Zhao Ziyang glanced at him and did not reply! Sudan Novel Network
Yuwen Chengji looked up at the dark surroundings and murmured to himself, "This godforsaken place, everyone wants to get out. However, this is Prison Number One, and escaping is almost impossible."
"However, I have a way to get you out!"
"You want to let me go?"
Zhao Ziyang's expression was calm. He glanced at the other party and said indifferently, "So you want me to work for you?"
Before the other party could speak, Zhao Ziyang closed his eyes and continued, "Then you can give up. My life has no meaning anymore, so it doesn't matter whether I get out or not!"
He was a madman, but sometimes he was very rational. Having killed countless people, he could naturally guess why Yuwen Chengji suddenly came to find him.
However, it no longer mattered to him whether he got out or not, because his heart had died eight years ago.
Yuwen Chengji was not in a hurry and chuckled, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Your life still has meaning. Perhaps you don't know, but your daughter is actually still alive!"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Ziyang's eyes snapped open.
"You were the one who gave me the news a year ago?"
