Shortly after the BMW drove off, five Volkswagen cars rushed over. More than a dozen burly men got out and, after a search, finally found two unconscious companions on the fourth floor of the abandoned building.

All the burly men swung their fists angrily. They knew Qin Ya had escaped.

...

"Hoo—"

In the speeding BMW on the highway, Qin Ya sat in the passenger seat, took off her baseball cap and mask, and let out a long, relieved breath.

"Thanks this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would've been in danger," Qin Ya thanked.

After she spoke, she clutched her abdomen, her face somewhat pale.

"The surgical incision shouldn't have opened up. The pain should subside after half an hour."

Ye Huan glanced at Qin Ya in the passenger seat, and with one look could tell her current physical condition.

Qin Ya gritted her teeth and nodded in pain.

"By the way, what's the situation exactly? How did you end up being chased to such a place? Also, your injuries haven't fully healed, yet you dared to run like that? If you had kept running a bit more, your surgical incision might have really opened up."

"No choice, if I didn't run, I would have been caught. Also, it's not like they were hunting me down; I went to Fengxian District to hide myself. It's sparsely populated and easy to hide. Who knew those people would be so capable and find me so quickly."

You went to hide there yourself?

Hearing this, Ye Huan was a bit puzzled, "Did you get into trouble?"

"No, it wasn't me inviting trouble; trouble came looking for me on its own."

Qin Ya sighed and said, "My grandfather insists on me marrying some stranger, and my parents can't persuade him otherwise. I had no choice, so I sneaked out, and, to avoid being discovered, hid in Fengxian District. Who knew they'd track me down in under half an hour."

Marriage?

Thinking of the two strong men chasing Qin Ya, both of whom had an extraordinary military demeanor, Ye Huan frowned and asked, "The people sent to catch you aren't ordinary. The person your grandfather wants you to marry should be from a wealthy family, right?"

"Yes, but I have no interest at all."

"Trying to marry me off to some rich guy? No way."

Qin Ya snorted coldly.

Just talking about this made her angry.

Last week, an elderly man with white hair suddenly came to her hospital room and insisted she marry a rich young man from the Capital City.

Without giving her any chance to refuse, the old man processed her discharge and transferred her to the Capital City.

After the transfer, they confined her in a hotel and even posted guards.

Along with being furious, Qin Ya was utterly confused and asked Qin Guangming and Feng Shushan for details.

But they didn't offer much, only saying that the Qin Family is very complex, and the white-haired old man is the head of the Qin Family, also her grandfather.

Qin Ya was dumbfounded then. From childhood, she never heard her family mention her grandfather, and even thought he was deceased.

Who knew the grandfather would "revive," and the first thing he'd do was force her into a family marriage alliance.

With Qin Ya's fiery temper, how could she agree to that?

When Feng Shushan and Qin Guangming couldn't persuade the Qin Family to cancel the marriage, Qin Ya took the first chance she got, knocked out the two guards outside her hotel suite, and escaped according to the planned route.

She was discovered and chased afterward.

Fortunately, Ye Huan appeared just in time, averting any danger.

"Ye Huan, I really thank you so much. Without you, I would have been captured back," Qin Ya sincerely thanked again.

"It's nothing."

Ye Huan felt some sympathy for Qin Ya, considering that old fellow from Li Hentian also wanted to force him into a marriage alliance, with that Qin Family.

But for some reason, the Qin Family ended up allying with the Nan Family, which relieved one of Huange's concerns.

Wait...

Qin Ya, surname Qin.

Qin Family!?

As he thought of something, Ye Huan felt a cold sweat. It couldn't be that much of a coincidence, right?

"Qin Ya, the person your grandfather is forcing you to marry, is it the eldest son of a top family from the Capital—the Nan Family's Nan Rui?" Ye Huan carefully asked.

"How did you know?" Qin Ya was a bit surprised.

As expected.

Ye Huan's face turned dark.

So, Qin Ya is the eldest daughter of the Dragon Gate's Qin Family? Her background is indeed formidable.

"Anyway, there's no way I'll marry that Nan Rui."

"I heard that Nan Rui secretly keeps over a dozen internet celebrities, and his personal life is even more chaotic than yours."

"Even if all the men in the world disappeared, I wouldn't marry him."

"If they push me too far, I'll jump off a building. They think they can use me as a pawn in their family alliance; no way!"

Qin Ya crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

Ye Huan's forehead was filled with black lines. How was his personal life chaotic?

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and asked, "Where to now?"

Qin Ya answered without hesitation, "Tingxiang Pavilion, I told Tianyun to go there to lay low for a while."

"Alright."

...

The Capital City, Golden Shore.

Tingxiang Pavilion, villa gates.

At this moment, two people stood outside the gates.

An elder with an immortal aura, white hair, youthful features, and a long white beard.

The other was Su Zhiqiang, looking utterly shocked.

Apart from them, outside the gates of Tingxiang Pavilion, lay more than a dozen muscular men in security uniforms, groaning in pain.

The security team of Golden Shore!

Five minutes ago, the security team leader, Dai Xiongzhao, saw from surveillance that Su Zhiqiang, the same criminal who had recently illegally intruded on Tingxiang Pavilion, parked his car in front of the gates, immediately thinking Su Zhiqiang was back to cause trouble.

Dai Xiongzhao promptly gathered the security team, armed themselves, and came to drive them away.

Who knew, before they could say a few words, the elder who arrived in the next moment took action. The security team, unprepared and powerless, was instantly wiped out, sprawled out senselessly on the ground.

Watching this scene, Su Zhiqiang stomped his feet repeatedly in delight, thrilled beyond measure!

So strong!

Absolutely incredible!

As expected of the seventh elder of the Outer Sect of Dragon Gate!

The strength of Huang Pan Yi left Su Zhiqiang both awed and astonished and immensely excited!

You must know, the security guards of Golden Shore are all robust men who have been trained at the military department, each strong as an ox with formidable strength, top-notch fighters even in underground fight clubs.

Yet such strong individuals couldn't even withstand a single breath against Huang Pan Yi, felled by a single forceful palm, instantly losing their combat capability!

One palm, annihilating a security team!

So badass.

Su Zhiqiang felt secretly delighted.

One reason for his delight was that these security guards had beaten him up not long ago, and now seeing their miserable state gave him a sense of revenge.

Another reason was the formidable strength of Huang Pan Yi.

With such power, Huang Pan Yi could surely make Ye Huan cry and beg for mercy!

Satisfying!

Su Zhiqiang exhaled a long breath, an insidious curve forming at the corner of his mouth, silently laughing to himself.

"Ye Huan, if you dare to oppose me, Su Zhiqiang, you must pay the appropriate price!"

After the sinister laugh, Su Zhiqiang looked at Huang Pan Yi, who was stroking his beard with a serene expression, posturing as a sage, and said with an insidious smile, "Elder Huang, when that reckless boy returns, make sure to teach him a harsh lesson."

"Don't worry."

Huang Pan Yi responded mildly, "This boy is so arrogant. Not only did he execute my nephew Zhiwen, but he also seriously injured Nan Zhen, the third young master of the Nan Family. I will make him understand the cost of his mistakes."

"Haha, Elder Huang, you are truly worthy as a representative of justice from Dragon Gate. Your righteous presence is truly admirable, like a beacon of virtue. However..."

Su Zhiqiang flattered him, then changed his tone to sycophancy, saying, "However, make sure the lesson isn't too severe, because the boy has Ye Family's Ye Qiqing behind him. Just give him a slight punishment, like... making him bedridden for seven or eight days or something."

Ye Qiqing behind him?

Huang Pan Yi frowned deeply.

People of the Ye Family, he indeed couldn't afford to provoke.

The last time he offended a fiend from the Ye Family and ended up being beaten into a pig head twice was still fresh in Huang Pan Yi's memory.

Ye Huan!

Son of Ye Tiance, the Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, Huang Pan Yi felt a faint pain on his face, accompanied by a deep sense of indignation.

The first time, in the Zhong Family courtyard, he was slapped into the air by Ye Huan, turning into a pig head.

The second time, he sought help from his good brother, Wang Kuang, the sixth elder of Dragon Gate's Outer Sect, to take revenge on Ye Huan, only to be slapped into a pig head by Ye Huan once more.

Later, he wanted to find a stronger fighter to teach Ye Huan a lesson, but was sternly stopped by the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect.

Huang Pan Yi knew that the Ye Family had contacted Dragon Gate, and Dragon Gate, to avoid a fall out with the Ye Family, had the Grand Elder prohibit him from taking revenge on Ye Huan.

If he disobeyed, he would be expelled from Dragon Gate.

In the end, Huang Pan Yi chose to swallow this indignation and return to Dragon Gate.

But swallowing this indignation didn't mean he wasn't angry.

He harbored some resentment towards Ye Huan and the Ye Family.

Upon hearing that the boy to be taught a lesson had a background in the Ye Family, a glint of coldness flashed in Huang Pan Yi's eyes.

"How about breaking both of the boy's legs, what do you think?"
