Chapter 20: I am the man you can never have

Seeing the smile on Fang Yu's face, Bai Zhan's heart trembled.Immediately, he felt a severe pain in his right hand."How is this possible?" Bai Zhan's face slightly changed, and he concentrated all his strength in his right hand.But Fang Yu's hand was as hard as steel, no matter how hard Bai Zhan tried, he couldn't make any progress."Have we met somewhere before?" Fang Yu squinted his eyes and said.At the same time, he exerted a little force with his right hand.Bai Zhan's face turned from white to green, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He clenched his teeth, or else he would have screamed in pain."Oh, you're the one who was sneaking around my vegetable garden yesterday," Fang Yu said.Hearing these words, Bai Zhan's face changed dramatically.How did Fang Yu know? He was hiding very discreetly yesterday, and Fang Yu didn't seem to notice...No, wait... Could it be that Fang Yu had already noticed at that time?Beads of sweat formed on Bai Zhan's forehead, and his face became increasingly ugly.Fang Yu's strength in his hand grew stronger and stronger. At this rate, Bai Zhan's hand bones would be crushed.At this moment, Tang Mingde and Yang Shaorong, who were standing nearby, noticed that something was wrong. Bai Zhan's expression clearly showed that he was in pain.Yang Shaorong's face turned a little ugly, and he was about to speak.However, Fang Yu loosened his grip and patted Bai Zhan's shoulder, saying, "Nice to meet you."Bai Zhan let out a sigh of relief. His right hand was now almost numb."Hehe, not bad, not bad. You'll have plenty of opportunities to interact with each other in the future. See you next time," Yang Shaorong forced a smile and walked towards the door.Bai Zhan took a deep look at Fang Yu and left with Yang Shaorong.After the two of them left, Tang Mingde looked at Fang Yu and asked, "Fang Shenyi, do you... know them?"Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know them."In fact, Fang Yu had already guessed their identities.Yang Shaorong... Miss Yang... Bai Zhan.Obviously, that Miss Yang and Yang Shaorong were probably related, perhaps father and daughter. Bai Zhan was sent by Miss Yang to investigate Fang Yu near the vegetable garden yesterday."Does Yang Shaorong have children?" Fang Yu looked at Tang Mingde and asked.Tang Mingde hesitated for a moment and answered, "He has two sons and a daughter.""What are their names?" Fang Yu asked again."...The eldest son is called Yang Yun. It is said that he has great talent in martial arts and is apprenticed to a famous ancient master in the south. The second daughter is named Yang Yin Zhu. She is a business prodigy. At a young age, she has already gained control of most of the Yang family's industries and led the Yang family to rapid development, becoming one of the top families in the south... The youngest son is the most ordinary among the three children. He is the one Yang Shaorong mentioned earlier, Yang Xu. He goes to the same school as you and Xiaorou."That Miss Yang mentioned by the assassins should be Yang Yin Zhu."Yang Yin Zhu..." Fang Yu silently repeated the name in his heart.Tang Mingde sighed and said, "Yang Shaorong is really lucky. He doesn't have much ability himself, but his children are all extraordinary. Even the most ordinary Yang Xu is said to be a fifth-stage inborn martial artist, and his talent in martial arts is also remarkable.""Alas, look at my children..." Tang Mingde sighed again and shook his head."Father! Do you have to be so disdainful of your own children?" Tang Xiaorou's face turned red with anger and she stomped her foot."You see, she's just throwing a tantrum," Tang Mingde said helplessly."Father!" Tang Xiaorou was so angry that she walked up and punched Tang Mingde's chest with her little fist."Tang Family Master, I came here today to ask for your help with something," Fang Yu spoke up.Tang Mingde immediately straightened up and said solemnly, "Fang Shenyi, please go ahead. Our Tang family will definitely do our best to help."So Fang Yu explained the matter of collecting monster beast cores."No problem, I will send someone to help you search for the cores within the entire country, and buy them for you," Tang Mingde agreed without hesitation....On the way back, Yang Shaorong sat in the car and watched Bai Zhan's hand turn purple."This Fang Yu, is he very strong?" Yang Shaorong asked in a deep voice.Bai Zhan shook his head and said, "This person... is very strange. The aura on his body indicates that his strength is at most at the fifth stage of the inborn realm, but his strength is unexpectedly great.""Then are you confident in dealing with him?" Yang Shaorong asked.Bai Zhan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "In martial arts, strength alone is not enough. He seems to have not learned orthodox martial arts. Moreover, my cultivation level is much higher than his, so in a real fight, I should be able to easily defeat him."Then Bai Zhan thought of something and said, "But, Tang Family Master seems to value him a lot. If we take action against him, will it cause the Tang family to...""There's no need to worry about that." Yang Shaorong waved his hand and said, "Fang Yu disrupted our plan first, so it's understandable for us to deal with him. He saved Ji Rumeng, making him an enemy of our Yang family. Plus, Yang Yin Zhu has given a direct order to eliminate him.""As for the Tang family, Tang Mingde is a smart man. I don't believe he would turn against us for the sake of this little nobody. Besides, even if the Tang family does turn against us because of Fang Yu, we don't fear them. The strength of the Yang family is already stronger than any other family in Jiangnan. The Tang family... will sooner or later be trampled under our feet."With that, Bai Zhan had no more worries."Family head, I will complete the task you and Miss Yang gave me as soon as possible," Bai Zhan said....At home, Wang Yan prepared a meal and set it on the dining table in the living room.Yue Yue walked in from outside, precisely at 6:30 in the afternoon.After apologizing to Yue Yue, Jiang Yue did not come to the afternoon rehearsal.This made Yue Yue breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Jiang Yue would retaliate against her because of what happened in the morning."Yue Yue, go upstairs and call Brother Fang Yu down for dinner," Wang Yan said.To thank Fang Yu, Wang Yan specially bought chicken and fish from the market today and made several dishes.Yue Yue ran upstairs and found that Fang Yu wasn't home."Maybe he has something to do today, it's okay, we'll wait for him to come back and eat together," Wang Yan said.So, Wang Yan and Yue Yue watched TV while waiting for Fang Yu.After about ten minutes, footsteps could be heard from outside the yard."They're here, I'll take you in." A man said.Hearing this voice, Wang Yan's face instantly changed.She immediately stood up, locked the door, and pulled Yue Yue into the room, locking it again.At this moment, a group of people had arrived at the door."The door is locked. Yu Chengye, are you trying to trick us?" A young man who was smoking a cigarette twisted the doorknob and then slapped the bald head of the man next to him."Boss, I would never dare to trick you! Normally at this time, Wang Yan should be at home," Yu Chengye stammered."Bin ge, the lights in the house are still on, and there are many dishes on the table that haven't been touched," one of the gangsters tiptoed and saw the situation inside the house."Oh? So someone is hiding inside the house?" Guang Bin took a deep drag on his cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt away and said, "Break down the door!"The four little brothers behind him immediately rushed forward and rammed into the door with force.
