"Wow..."

Li Changqing's hands were pressed firmly against the ground, veins bulging on their backs. His arms trembled as he struggled to stand, but all he managed was to spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

"Sisi, you—get back here!"

Li Changqing could clearly feel his kneecaps starting to crack. The invisible, colossal force pressing down on him was simply more than he could bear. With difficulty, he tilted his head back and roared at Li Si.

On her wedding day, in front of Qin Yan and so many others, she's running wildly toward another man without any care for her image? This isn't just a slap in the face to the Li Family; the dignity of the Qin Royal Family is also being trampled into the ground. As a result, not only will the wedding be called off, but we will also completely offend the Qin Royal Family. And what about me and Qin Qiu? Is there still any hope? My entire Li Family will lose any chance of leaving Qiyun Road and establishing a foothold in Cangyun City.

However, Li Si paid him no mind.

Everyone in attendance was dumbfounded.

First, they were shocked by the strength of the person in the van. Second, who could have possibly guessed that this wedding—the liveliest and most luxurious event in the history of Qiyun Road—would be disrupted by such a bizarre incident?

This was a violent bride snatching!

As the saying goes, the crowd loves a good spectacle.

Instantly, everyone grew excited. Their gazes darted between Qin Yan and the Li Family members on one side and the van on the other, eager to see if the person inside would finally reveal themselves.

"Yang..." Li Si gasped, standing before the commercial van. She was panting, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed hysterically.

WHOOSH!

The rear door of the van slid open.

Under everyone's intense gaze, the person inside did not get out. Instead, a hand reached out and gently wiped the tears from Li Si's face.

"It's alright now. I'm here," an ethereal voice drifted through the air.

The voice was calm, almost gentle, yet it resounded with unnerving clarity in everyone's mind.

It was utterly bizarre.

"Don't cry, you're smearing your makeup."

Li Si stomped her foot and said shyly, "Doesn't that make me look awful?"

"Not at all." Chen Yang smiled. "My Sisi always looks beautiful."

"Really?" Li Si pouted, gazing straight at Chen Yang. Her usual cool demeanor was gone, replaced by the look of a little girl who had been terribly wronged.

To the rest of the audience, this was clearly affectionate banter between lovers.

But... the groom is still standing right there. Do they really not need to give him any face at all?

"Of course. Now, get in."

"Okay."

Taking Chen Yang's extended hand, Li Si climbed into the van.

SLAM.

The door shut.

Qin Yan's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water. His fists were clenched tight.

Taking Li Si away right in front of me? And the worst part is, from start to finish, the other guy didn't even get out of the car or show his face.

Heh... In all his life, Qin Yan had never been so thoroughly ignored.

"Sisi, what are you doing?!"

Before Qin Yan could erupt, Lady Tong, who was standing beside him, could no longer hold back. She rushed forward a few steps, pointed at the van, and yelled furiously, "You're going to ruin the Li Family!"

"I order you to get out of that car right now!"

"I won't," Li Si's defiant voice drifted out. "In this family, not a single person treats me like a human being. No one cares about my feelings. Why should I be at your beck and call?"

"You are a member of the Li Family! It's only right and proper that you sacrifice for the Li Family!" Lady Tong's voice rose an octave, completely oblivious to her own faults.

"There's no need to sacrifice Sisi," Chen Yang said coolly. "Just tell me what the Li Family wants, and I'll give it to you."

"This..."

Hearing this, many people glanced at each other in disbelief.

What an arrogant tone. Never mind whether he could even compare to the Li Family; what the Li Family wanted was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person. It might even be the chance to leave Qiyun Road and establish themselves in Cangyun City. And he thinks he can provide that?

"Heh heh..." Lady Tong burst into derisive laughter. "Who do you think you are? Do you have any idea what kind of people you're provoking? How dare you spout such nonsense here?"

"You bastard! If you know what's good for you, let Sisi out of that car immediately, or you will die!"

More of the Li Family bodyguards had run over from the house. At a moment's notice, they would charge with the force of a thunderbolt and tear the vehicle—and the man inside—to shreds.

"You want to put down roots in Cangyun City?" Chen Yang ignored Lady Tong's tirade. After getting an answer from Li Si, he casually flicked cigarette ash out the window. "Fine. After I finish my business on Qiyun Road, you can all come to Cangyun City with me."

PFFT...

Many spectators couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. It was clear to them now. The guy in the car was just spouting whatever nonsense he could think of to appease the Li Family, making a complete fool of himself.

"Shut your mouth!" Lady Tong shrieked. Then she dropped to her knees, begging pitifully, "Sisi, Mom is begging you, isn't that enough? You have to marry Qin Yan. Only then can your father, your brother, and I live the life of our dreams."

"You can't leave! Mom is begging you! I'm kowtowing to you!"

「Inside the car.」

Chen Yang asked Li Si, "Did your mom beg you like this last time, too?"

Li Si nodded, a bitter expression on her face. She could never have imagined she would end up with such a mother.

What did she mean, *their* dream life? What about *her* life? To be blunt, her mother was just shameless!

Li Si felt a wave of complete despair. Things had come to this, and her mother couldn't even muster a single comforting lie.

SLAP!

The sudden, sharp sound startled everyone.

Lady Tong was knocked to the ground by an invisible slap from Chen Yang.

"I was originally planning to give your Li Family a hand, to give you whatever you wanted. But now, it seems that's no longer necessary," Chen Yang's indifferent voice echoed.

"You... you dare to strike me?" Lady Tong struggled to her feet. Her face twisted into a grotesque mask, making her look all the more hideous as she waved her hand and screamed, "All of you, attack! Drag him out of there for me!"

"Speak to me on your knees."

BOOM!

The air trembled as a terrifying pressure descended upon the scene. The bodyguards rushing forward bore the brunt of it, and every single one of them dropped to their knees.

Immediately after, Lady Tong and all the other Li Family members buckled, their knees smashing hard onto the ground.

This sudden development was stunning. Terrified, the onlookers scrambled to back away.

HISS! HISS!

This... this is terrifying! With a single sentence, he brought the entire Li Family to their knees!

The once-bustling scene was now silent, with only Qin Yan and his entourage left standing.

GULP.

Even the face of this great young master of the Qin Royal Clan was deathly pale as he swallowed hard.

This man... he's terrifyingly strong!

HUFF, HUFF.

Qin Yan took a couple of deep breaths, stepped forward, and said coldly, "I am Qin Yan of the Royal Qin Clan. Don't you think what you're doing is a bit rash?"

After an incident like this, his reputation was thoroughly ruined, no matter the final outcome.

"Just go back."

Qin Yan: "..."
