"Ah, Dad, I really like that girl. You see, I just had a little argument with her, and she ran off. How can I not be upset about that?"
I wore a troubled expression, thinking that if I said this, Kang Qin would become the Third Young Mistress of the Lu Family.
"Haha! Third Brother, how did I never realize you were so useless? This is not how a man from the Lu Family should be!" Lu Fei chuckled beside me, making fun of me, while Lu Xian merely scoffed and stayed silent, clearly looking down on me as well.
Damn it!
I absolutely despise being looked down upon. For that silly girl, I guess I’ll just have to endure it.
"Big Brother, why do you talk like that? Haven't you heard of something called true love in this world? Besides, I'm not neglecting my responsibilities here. If I leave, you guys help me look for her, alright? If you find her, send her over quickly."
I instructed Lu Fei. He laughed heartily in response and quickly assured me it wouldn't be a problem. At that moment, Lu Xian spoke up.
"Oh come on, Third Brother, don’t say it like that. If you were just taking a woman out for fun, that would be one thing, but now you're talking about true love. Brother Two, I'm not saying true love is bad, but ask Dad or Big Brother what those two words mean in our line of work. They are weaknesses—fatal weaknesses! If you go to Tian Ye Group, make sure you don’t bring your true love along! Don’t worry; your true love won’t escape from home."
Lu Xian said while munching on a banana and rolling his eyes.
Damn it!
He really knows how to stir things up!
He wasn't wrong; true love is indeed a fatal weakness for us. Didn't I have several rivals who wanted to kidnap my true love to threaten me?
He made a valid point. I knew this was bound to blow over; even if they found Kang Qin and she wanted to come to me, they would never let her go. After all, the Tian Ye Group isn't entirely under the control of the Lu Family.
Sure enough, after Lu Xian finished speaking, Lu Ding Tian nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Xian is right. Xiao Yan, you still lack experience. When you go out there, you're helping me with business—not chasing after romance. If you find someone interesting there to play with, keep that at home. Trust me; nothing will happen to any woman you fancy at my place."
Lu Ding Tian said this while even Lu Fei chimed in agreement. What could I say? I could only ask them to take care of Kang Qin.
Since Kang Qin wasn’t found, I took Lu Fei and sent a few bodyguards along with Liu Haoming to Kyoto the next day.
Liu Haoming had already changed his name from Liu Zi but still acted like his old self—trailing behind me and flattering me. I completely ignored his attempts at flattery as if they were mere dog barks.
Upon arriving in Kyoto, Du Tao personally received me with great courtesy since the Enforcement Hall Master had been dismissed. After the Qu Family's downfall, Du Tao found himself in an awkward position; if it weren't for the backing of Hongmen, he would have had no choice but to sell himself to the Lu Family as a lackey.
When Du Tao arrived with his people and saw me, he was taken aback—not because he recognized me but because he recognized Liu Haoming and Fang Ying beside me. Liu Haoming’s presence surprised him greatly. It had been a long time since I'd seen Fang Ying; she seemed much more haggard than before—perhaps due to the fall of the Qu Family since she was essentially part of it.
Out of courtesy, Du Tao greeted me before asking,
"Young Master Yan, your brother looks so familiar; who is he?"
"Is that so? Haoming, maybe it's time for you to introduce yourself."
I looked at Liuzi, who smiled after hearing me. His gaze swept over everyone brought by Du Tao. There were so many people from the Tian Ye Group who recognized Liuzi, and he seemed to enjoy being looked at like a curiosity.
"I am Liuzi! Former South District Boss of the Tian Ye Group and Kyoto Headquarters!"
Liuzi introduced himself in a booming voice. Although everyone already knew who he was, the crowd erupted in excitement after he finished speaking, especially Fang Ying, whom I hadn't seen in a long time; her face was filled with surprise.
"Fang Zhu Master, long time no see!" Liuzi said cheerfully as he turned to Fang Ying. Back then, when Liuzi had his troubles, Fang Ying didn’t help him at all. I knew that Liuzi held a grudge against her, but it seemed Fang Ying hadn’t noticed Liuzi’s resentment.
"Ah, yes, long time no see. Liuzi, how have you been—" Fang Ying began to ask, but before she could finish, Liuzi suddenly interrupted her.
"I owe it all to you, Fang Zhu Master! You’re really something else! To help your little lover Xiang Dong, you teamed up with him to deal with me? Now that you see me here, are you surprised?"
Liuzi said with a cold smirk. In truth, his accusation was completely unfounded. He knew that I had nothing to do with Fang Ying; the Lu Family had tasked him with framing her and eliminating her. I had to admit he was quite good at making it seem plausible.
As soon as Liuzi finished speaking, the entire venue fell into stunned silence, especially Fang Ying.
"What did you just say?" Fang Ying exclaimed in shock.
Everyone turned to look at Liuzi, waiting for him to continue.
"What did I say? Don’t you understand? You helped Xiang Dong frame me! I clearly came to you saying Xiang Dong wanted to harm me, and not only did you ignore me, but you also helped him? You’re nothing but a shameless whore!" Liuzi shouted angrily.
He was incredibly arrogant! His confidence stemmed from the backing of the Lu Family? Just because I was standing beside him?
Suddenly, a loud slap echoed through the room as I delivered a solid blow to Liuzi's face!
"Yan Shao? Yan Shao, what are you doing?" Liuzi covered his face in confusion. He never expected that before Fang Ying could hit him, I—his supposed ally—would be the one to slap him first.
"Do you even have any sense of decorum left? Do you know what’s happening right now? This is my succession ceremony! What the hell are you babbling about?"
I pointed at Liu Zi's nose and asked arrogantly, embodying the essence of a second-generation rich kid. This was no longer Shanghai; we were in Kyoto! There were no Lu Family members here, no Lu Xian. Even if I had a few spies around me, they were all mine. As a wealthy young master, the Third Young Master of the Qing Gang, I could afford to slap a few subordinates just to show off, and I was sure no one would find it inappropriate.
What’s wrong? Do you have anything else to say?
I frowned at Liu Zi, who seemed like he wanted to say more. I hated this guy; if it weren't for the fact that I was being watched on this trip, I would have taken him out long ago!
No, no.
Liu Zi quickly shook his head, his arrogance instantly deflated as he stepped back behind me. At that moment, I turned to Du Tao and the others with a smile.
Gentlemen, my apologies for having such a mad dog under my command. Even introducing myself is so exaggerated. Isn’t today my reception? Don’t tell me there’s no banquet or beautiful women!
I said playfully, and Du Tao burst into laughter, quickly assuring me there would be both!
He then led me to the fourth floor of the Aishang Club, where indeed a banquet had been prepared along with many bunny girls. Their figures were stunning; I felt dizzy just looking at their long legs.
I had heard about you, Yan Shao; I’ve been prepared for this! What do you think, Yan Shao? Here, you can choose any woman you like; I guarantee they are all fresh and first-hand!
Du Tao said with a grin while patting my shoulder.
I smiled back and then shifted my gaze to Fang Ying, who looked anxious. I actually wanted to catch up with an old friend.
She seemed too ordinary now; it felt like Fang Ying's aura had diminished compared to before. After Liu Zi's remarks, she appeared frightened and distracted; she truly needed some comfort.
Huh? Me?
Fang Ying pointed at herself in disbelief. Behind me, Liu Zi was also taken aback; after all, in his eyes, Fang Ying was our target.
Is there anything wrong with that?
I asked with a smile while looking at Fang Ying. I remembered teasing her once before when my brother was still in a relationship; it wasn’t thorough enough back then. Now that my brother was single, why not have some fun with her?
No! Absolutely not! What’s wrong with that? The entire Qing Gang belongs to your Lu Family, Fang Ying! Hurry up and keep Yan Shao company; did you hear that?
Du Tao said as he glanced at Fang Ying. I noticed him giving her a meaningful look. Although Liu Zi had just mentioned not bringing up the past anymore, no one had forgotten what he said earlier; everyone knew Fang Ying was in trouble.
If Fang Ying clung to me now, perhaps she could save herself from disaster.
Every time I had seen Fang Ying before, she had always been incredibly proud. I genuinely wondered if she would flirt with me to resolve her troubles. In an instant, curiosity mixed with mischief surged within me as I smiled at the troubled Fang Ying, waiting for her to make her decision.
