"Li Yang?"
Hearing Li Yang's voice, Tang Xinyu was instantly overjoyed. The moment Li Yang untied her ropes, she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and saying, "You're finally here. I thought I'd never see you again."
"How could that be? I won't let anything happen to you."
Li Yang embraced her tightly, comforting her for a long while before leading her away through the secret passage.
When she followed Li Yang up and saw so many trapped women, she was very surprised and asked doubtfully, "Li Yang, these people are..."
"They are victims, just like you, captured by Tang Yilong and Master Feng."
Li Yang briefly explained the situation to her, and she finally understood.
She told Li Yang that she was indeed captured by Tang Yilong today. That scoundrel Tang Yilong had colluded with Situ Jue and intended to harm the Tang family.
However, by the time she said this, Li Yang was no longer surprised.
Because it had already happened.
He stroked Tang Xinyu's head and smiled, "You don't need to worry anymore. Your father is outside now. He came with me to find you, and the Tang family is safe."
"Really?"
Tang Xinyu's eyes lit up with excitement again!
After a tender moment with Li Yang, she, along with Li Yang, led the other women out of the room.
The moment Tang Hucheng saw Tang Xinyu, he excitedly rushed over, grabbed her arm, and said, "Xinyu, are you alright? You scared me to death."
"Dad, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Tang Xinyu comforted Tang Hucheng with a smile, but soon, due to exhaustion, she fainted.
Li Yang stepped forward to check her pulse and found that she was merely suffering from extreme weakness and would recover with a little rest.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hucheng immediately sent people to take Tang Xinyu home.
Then, Tang Hucheng turned to ask Li Yang about the women. After understanding the situation, he sighed deeply for the women and then asked, "Mr. Li, how should these people be handled? I can help you."
"Just send them home. They've been through quite a scare. Seeing their families might put them at ease," Li Yang casually instructed.
"Alright, I'll arrange for people to send them all back right away."
Tang Hucheng agreed and immediately made arrangements with his subordinates to carry out Li Yang's instructions.
Afterward, Li Yang accompanied Tang Hucheng back to the Tang family.
Given the major incident that had occurred at the Tang family today and the crisis averted, all thanks to Li Yang, he respectfully looked at Li Yang and said, "Mr. Li, the safety of the Tang family today was entirely thanks to you. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness."
"Uncle, you're too kind. It's only right that I help you. As long as Xinyu is safe, that's all that matters," Li Yang replied politely with a smile.
"Indeed. You are Xinyu's boyfriend, and the Tang family will be yours in the future. We are practically family. However, thinking back to how the Tang family was almost destroyed today, it's truly terrifying."
Tang Hucheng sighed deeply, a look of worry returning to his face. "That beast Tang Yilong escaped. He will surely report everything to Situ Jue. When the Situ family retaliates, the Tang family might face trouble again."
"Uncle, please don't worry. I will always protect the Tang family. You can rest assured." Li Yang comforted him with a light smile.
"Mr. Li, you've worked so hard. By the way, that Master Feng just now called you a Grandmaster before he left. Could it be that you are truly a legendary Martial Arts Grandmaster?" Tang Hucheng asked with surprise.
Although he didn't understand martial arts, he had heard of it. The Grandmaster realm in the martial arts world was said to be capable of splitting heaven and earth! If the Tang family had such a powerful expert guarding them, they wouldn't even need to fear the Situ family.
Li Yang shook his head and said, "Uncle, you flatter me. I am not a Grandmaster, nor have I heard of such a title. I've just learned some formations for deciphering feng shui. Perhaps that fellow mistook me for someone else."
"Oh, I see!"
Tang Hucheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!
Li Yang was deliberately concealing his strength, only to avoid startling him. He couldn't possibly tell him that he possessed abilities hundreds of times greater than ordinary people, nor could he reveal his clairvoyance. Such abilities were simply beyond human comprehension!
"Uncle, Xinyu will wake up soon. When she wakes up, please let her rest well. I have other matters to attend to and cannot stay here any longer."
Li Yang checked the time; it was getting late, and he still needed to take the twins to find Huang Bai. He bid farewell to Tang Hucheng.
Tang Hucheng personally saw Li Yang out of the house. Watching Li Yang's retreating figure, he nodded with immense gratitude, thinking to himself: Li Yang is truly a good son-in-law. When Xinyu wakes up, it's time to discuss their marriage. Such a good man should not be snatched away by others!
"Boss, you're back."
Half an hour later, Li Yang returned to the shop. Erduo Dong greeted him with a smile as soon as he saw him.
"Where are Xiao Na and Xiao Xue, those two girls? Did you tell them to pack their things?" Li Yang asked casually.
"I've already told them to pack their belongings. They should be here any moment now," Erduo Dong explained.
When they arrived today, Erduo Dong had asked them to temporarily store their things in the warehouse. They were now going to retrieve them.
"Boss Li, we're here."
A moment later, Zhao Xiaona and Zhao Xiaoxue, a pair of twins, approached Li Yang.
Li Yang turned around and saw that both of them had changed into new clothes. They looked pure and clean, and they were identical, truly like celestial maidens!
Seeing these two beautiful girls, he felt a sense of pleasure and smiled, "Good. Come with me. I have arranged new living quarters for you. From now on, you will live in the place I've arranged for you."
"Oh, we'll do as the boss arranges."
The two spoke in unison with pleasant voices, agreeing decisively. They already regarded Li Yang as a brother, and Li Yang was the closest person to them.
Li Yang led them out of the shop and into the car. On the way to the Huang family's residence, he asked them, "The place I'm taking you to today has an owner who is a good friend of mine."
"He is quite old and has never had daughters. He agreed to let you live there for two reasons: firstly, out of kindness to take you in, and secondly, he wishes to adopt you as his goddaughters. What do you think?"
"What? Become goddaughters?" Hearing this, both of them showed surprise.
Zhao Xiaona pouted and said, "Boss Li, we only want to be with you. We don't want to be goddaughters to anyone else."
"Yes, Boss Li. We would rather live in the shop and see you every day. We have no other desires," Zhao Xiaoxue added.
"Living there won't prevent us from seeing each other. You'll still work in my shop. If you don't agree to be his goddaughters, I won't force you. I'll explain it to him when we get there," Li Yang said with a smile.
"Boss Li, I have a humble request," Zhao Xiaona suddenly said shyly, lowering her head.
