As the thugs in front of him fell one by one, Cheng Zhijie was panic-stricken and abruptly pulled the trigger, firing a shot.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the bullet pierced the air, directly shattering the glass wall in front.

"Your aim is off!"

Yang Cheng sneered, flashed forward, and suddenly leaped in front of Cheng Zhijie, grabbing his wrist.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Cheng Zhijie’s wrist was broken backward, and he let out a piercing wail.

"Ah! My hand!"

Yang Cheng seized the gun and kicked Cheng Zhijie, sending him flying into the office desk.

Kong Lingwen, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. She knew Yang Cheng was skilled, but seeing him take down so many people was still shocking.

"Whose three legs do you plan to break?"

Yang Cheng asked coldly, slowly walking toward Cheng Zhijie.

"You... don’t come over! My brother is the governor of Yingzhou City, you can’t touch me!"

Cheng Zhijie trembled, climbing down from the desk, struggling to move to the corner.

"Even the governor’s brother can’t behave recklessly, harassing two elders for months. If we hadn’t found out today, the two elders would have been tortured to death sooner or later."

Yang Cheng’s eyes were full of anger as he stepped on Cheng Zhijie’s groin.

"Ahhh!!"

The screams rang out again, and the thugs lying on the ground shuddered, feeling a chill in their groins.

"Yang Cheng, stop, just teach him a lesson. It’ll be trouble if this leads to death."

Kong Lingwen immediately stepped forward to pull him back.

"It’s okay, he just won’t be able to keep his manhood, he won’t die."

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, and when he lifted his foot, Cheng Zhijie was already slumped to the ground, with sweat the size of beans trickling down his forehead.

As the two reached the door, Yang Cheng paused, turned his head, and said coldly, "I warn you, whatever your intentions, do not harass the two elders again, or next time the consequences might be different."

Just as they walked out of the office, a roar came from behind: "Ah! I’ll kill you!"

Kong Lingwen’s heart trembled, worried, she said: "Yang Cheng, after beating him up like this, he surely won’t let it go. We may leave in a few days, but grandpa and grandma still have to live here."

"Then let’s take the two elders with us, they won’t stay here anymore."

Yang Cheng became serious, turned his head to look at her.

"You’ve been separated from grandpa and grandma for so long, they’re old now and don’t have any family around. It’s better to bring them closer to take care of them."

"The days with the elders are becoming fewer and fewer, don’t wait until they’re not around to regret not spending more time with them."

After the two got in the car, Kong Lingwen pondered over Yang Cheng’s words, nodded, and said, "You’re right, since we worry about their safety, we should bring them to us. I’ll go back and discuss this with them now."

Half an hour later, Yang Cheng and Kong Lingwen returned to the residence.

At this usual time, Xu Yicheng and his wife would have been resting, but they were still waiting in the courtyard.

"Xiaochen, Lin Wen, why did you take so long, are you hurt?"

As soon as they saw the two enter, Qin Shuhui pulled them to check carefully. Only after confirming they were unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Grandma, we’re okay, the issue has been resolved."

Kong Lingwen smiled slightly, gently patting her hand.

Xu Yicheng looked surprised and quickly asked, "That Cheng Zhijie is so unreasonable, how did you persuade him?"

Yang Cheng chuckled: "We didn’t persuade him, we fought him."

"What? You fought?"

Xu Yicheng’s old eyes widened in surprise.

"At that time, Cheng Zhijie had dozens of thugs, intending to break my legs and assault Lin Wen. In anger, I beat all of them up; Cheng Zhijie got it a bit worse."

Yang Cheng quickly explained.

"How bad?"

Xu Yicheng saw Yang Cheng’s slight hesitation, feeling that it wasn’t that simple.

Kong Lingwen sighed and said, "Cheng Zhijie will never be a man again."

"You... oh dear! How could you beat him so hard! Cheng Zhijie’s brother is the governor, now you’ve gotten us into trouble."

Xu Yicheng became anxious instantly. He originally thought Kong Lingwen would reveal the Kong Family’s identity to scare Cheng Zhijie away, but instead, it escalated the conflict.

"Xiaochen, Lin Wen, pack your things quickly and leave, I’ll handle whatever comes. I’m old anyway, they can’t do much to me."

"Grandpa, if we leave, we all have to leave together. How could I leave you and grandma behind?"

Kong Lingwen remembered the separation from ten years ago and couldn’t help but feel a sourness in her heart.

Back then, she couldn’t take her grandparents, but now she has a company and a residence in Peach Blossom County, as well as a house in Zhonghai City, she can totally support the two elders.

"Come with me to Zhonghai. Even if they come looking, they’ll be wary of the Kong Family, and can’t do anything to me."

Kong Lingwen spoke firmly, giving the two elders no chance to refuse.

"Grandpa, pack your luggage tonight, and leave Yingzhou with us tomorrow morning. From now on, wherever I go, you come with me, we’ll never be apart again."

She hugged Qin Shuhui, and the long-standing knot in her heart was untied.

Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui exchanged a glance, sighed, and said, "Alright, we’ll listen to you, we’ll go with you."

He also knew that if they continued to stay in Yingzhou, the Cheng Family would surely come after them relentlessly.

"Grandma, I’ll help you pack now. Just bring the documents and valuables; leave the rest."

Kong Lingwen took Qin Shuhui inside to start packing the items overnight.

Xu Yicheng turned to Yang Cheng, quickly speaking, "Xiaochen, I didn’t mean to blame you earlier. I know given the situation back then, you had no choice but to fight."

"I previously didn’t want Lin Wen to leave because I was worried she wouldn’t live well in the Kong Family, especially under her stepmother. She must have suffered a lot, but I feel relieved now that you’re with her."

"Grandpa, I’ll take good care of Lin Wen."

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, his face full of sincerity.

The two men sat and chatted in the courtyard, and from Xu Yicheng, Yang Cheng learned about Kong Lingwen’s background.

When Kong Lingwen was six, her mother got pregnant again. It should have been a happy event, but in the late stages of pregnancy, she discovered Kong Jingshan’s infidelity, which led to her tragic anger-induced demise.

Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui, enraged, took the young Kong Lingwen home to raise. When she was in her teens, Kong Jingshan came by and proposed to bring Kong Lingwen back to the Kong family.

At first, Kong Lingwen cried and refused, but later insisted on going back to the Kong family, leaving the old couple heartbroken. They said in anger that she should never return.

All these years, Kong Lingwen always thought her grandparents hadn’t forgiven her, so she didn’t dare to visit.
