"Big brother, your daughter's name is Tang Xinyu, right?"
"Tang Yilong, I warn you not to set your sights on my daughter, or I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Chairman Tang's face changed, and he immediately roared.
Tang Yilong chuckled sinisterly and said, "Don't be so flustered. I'm her seventh uncle, after all. I wouldn't do anything less than beastly."
"But if your daughter, my own niece, happens to fall for me, what can I do about it?"
"You, you better not do anything rash!" Chairman Tang said nervously, pushing Li Yang. "What are you waiting for? Get my daughter out of here quickly!"
"That's not for you to decide," Tang Yilong sneered, glancing at Li Yang as if he were insignificant. "Take care of this kid first."
"Yes, Mr. Tang." The thugs immediately moved towards Li Yang, their eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.
Seeing this, Chairman Tang's expression flickered. "Li Yang, run quickly, do you hear me!"
"Don't worry about me. These small fry aren't even enough to warm me up," Li Yang said with a smile.
"You're utterly arrogant!"
Hearing this, the thugs' eyes blazed with killing intent. They gathered all their strength and swung a punch towards Li Yang's head, or lifted their feet to kick at his head, aiming to kill him with a single blow.
As the situation became extremely critical, Li Yang, seemingly oblivious to what was happening and unaware of how precarious his situation was, merely extended a hand.
Before anyone could even blink, several sharp sounds were heard, and the thugs were sent flying backward, screaming!
"Ah!"
"Ouch!"
"Help!"
"My head!"
"You guys?" Tang Yilong, who was expecting to see Li Yang's demise, couldn't believe that the elite thugs he had brought were so easily defeated by Li Yang.
"Now it's your turn." Li Yang walked towards him, step by deliberate, agonizing step.
Tang Yilong could hear his own heart pounding. "You, you need to understand, the Situ family is behind me. If you kill me, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Mr. Situ will definitely find someone to retaliate against you. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to avoid death."
"Is that so? Then I must play this game louder," Li Yang said with a smile, slapping him across the face.
Tang Yilong groaned in pain for a long time before covering his face and saying, "You, how dare you lay a hand on me!"
"What, are you too noble for me to touch?" Li Yang smiled and, with the back of his hand, slapped him across the face again.
The immense force left Tang Yilong writhing in pain on the ground, rolling towards Chairman Tang and Tang Hucheng.
"Big brother, second brother, save me!"
"Get lost! I'm not your big brother!" Chairman Tang angrily kicked him.
Tang Hucheng's kick was even more powerful, sending him rolling back to Li Yang's feet.
"You traitorous, ungrateful wretch, what right do you have to call us brothers! Tang Yilong, from this moment on, you are forbidden to set foot in our Tang family again, or it will be a dead end!"
"Yes, yes, I won't dare again." Tang Yilong moaned in pain, and with great effort, managed to roll out of the study.
The thugs followed him, their faces contorted in pain.
The scene quickly quieted down.
The Tang family bodyguards lowered their heads in shame and said, "We have disgraced you, Master and Second Master. We beg for your punishment."
"You certainly deserve to be punished! So many of you, and you couldn't even defeat a few people. Have you been training properly?" Tang Hucheng said angrily.
Li Yang said, "Second Uncle, you can't blame them for this. Those thugs were no ordinary people. They might have even used high-tech means to forge alloy limbs."
"Facing opponents like that, it's extremely difficult for bodyguards whose primary role is protection."
"So, it's understandable that they couldn't win?" Tang Hucheng asked.
Li Yang nodded. "It's indeed understandable. Those fellows were not ordinary individuals. The killing intent emanating from each of them suggests they were likely international mercenaries, not just thugs from the Situ family."
"No wonder they were so formidable," Tang Hucheng understood.
Generally, wealthy individuals would hire international mercenaries as private security captains, primarily to manage security and daily safety measures, providing a level of protection.
At most, one or two would suffice.
The group from earlier, each being an international mercenary, made it normal for the Tang family bodyguards to be unable to defeat them.
Chairman Tang said, "Thank you, Mr. Li. I was shouting at you earlier out of sheer desperation. I never expected you to be so capable, to handle such experts so easily."
"With a boyfriend like you for Xinyu, I believe her safety is not an issue, and I can finally rest easy."
"Uncle, you are too kind," Li Yang replied.
Chairman Tang's expression remained serious. "Mr. Li, although you are skilled in martial arts, you can't just fight everyone you meet. You'll never finish."
"Therefore, I hope you will leave Jiangcheng immediately before our Tang family is completely ruined."
"We cannot contend with the Situ family."
"No, we can," Li Yang said with a smile. "Not long ago, Old Master Tian issued a decree for the entire Tian family to support us."
"Really? The Tian family is willing to step in and help?" Chairman Tang's face lit up with joy, but he quickly shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's useless. It's already too late. We've driven away Tang Yilong, and the Situ family will be directly involved soon."
"In the face of such a behemoth, even with the Tian family's help, we have no chance of winning."
"Yes, I never dreamed that the one plotting against us would be the Situ family," Tang Hucheng also showed a look of despair.
The two brothers, having built their family business to its current status, were naturally outstanding individuals with strong psychological fortitude.
However, upon learning that the Situ family was behind everything, they lost all will to resist.
Li Yang looked at them and said, "We still have a chance. As long as you trust me, even if the Situ family comes, they won't be able to do anything to you or the Tang Corporation."
"I just don't know if you, Uncle and Second Uncle, trust me."
"Of course, we trust you." The two immediately nodded. "It's just..."
"There are no 'just's."
Li Yang immediately said, "When the time comes, everything will become clear."
