The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad behind the courtyard.
Clearly, this was not the first time the villa's owner had taken a helicopter to the villa.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have specially built a helipad.
As the rotor blades gradually slowed to a stop, an old man emerged from the helicopter.
The old man's hair was white, but his posture appeared exceptionally upright.
As if he had never bowed his head in his life.
After getting off the plane, the old man first surveyed his surroundings.
Then he frowned.
He could obviously see the open gate and the living room.
As the host, even though he knew in advance that someone was waiting, the act of entering without invitation made him displeased.
Ying Chen's ultimatum to summon him had already put him in a bad mood.
He had canceled an extremely important banquet for this!
And now, seeing this scene, his impression of Ying Chen instantly turned very poor.
However, years of self-cultivation allowed him to suppress his temper. He signaled two bodyguards to clear the way and unhurriedly walked towards the living room.
"They're here, they're here!"
Min Ziqiong watched the old man through the window, feeling a surge of nervousness.
"This man is Yan Yang. His experiences in his youth were quite legendary. He participated in underground organizations, fought on battlefields, and even held a considerable military post. But later, for some unknown reason, he resigned and went into business."
"Initially, no one was optimistic about him. Unexpectedly, by trading resources internationally, he became one of the first people to become wealthy in Long Country. It is said that his network of connections at the time was so extensive that he could even procure a secret fighter jet from a certain northern country! All he paid was some canned food, clothes, and other light industrial goods!"
"After that, he relied on his powerful connections to establish the Longdong Chamber of Commerce. He gathered merchants from Mingzhu and several major coastal cities in the east into it, making his influence unparalleled!"
"To this day, the Longdong Chamber of Commerce remains the largest chamber of commerce in Long Country, having also received official recognition and praise."
Min Ziqiong chattered on.
However, she noticed that Ying Chen beside her seemed indifferent, as if he wasn't surprised by the background of this influential figure named Yan Yang at all.
She assumed Ying Chen didn't understand what Yan Yang's background represented. So, after some thought, she used an analogy: "Let me put it this way, this Yan Yang is equivalent to a pillar of state in the old dynasties! Second only to the emperor, commanding countless people to shed blood and die with a single order!"
"Oh." To her surprise, Ying Chen remained expressionless.
"..." Min Ziqiong was suddenly at a loss for words.
How could this Ying Chen be so nonchalant?
He had trespassed into the home of such a prominent figure and was playing a game of 'playing hard to get' by pretending to offer medical treatment. Wasn't he afraid of getting himself into trouble?
"I'm not without experience in killing people of this caliber. There's nothing to be surprised about."
Ying Chen seemed to feel that just saying "Oh" was too perfunctory, so he added.
But he didn't realize that his addition was even more audacious!
To the extent that while Min Ziqiong was horrified, her heart was filled with endless questions.
Ying Chen had killed people?
Whom had he killed?
How had he killed them?
No, if Ying Chen had truly committed such a major crime, it would have been all over the news!
Why had she never heard any rumors about it?
Min Ziqiong was unaware that Ying Chen had not killed people of this era, but rather the kings and generals of other feudal states during the unification war of the Six States.
The status of those individuals was many times higher than Yan Yang's.
Why would Ying Chen be surprised by Yan Yang's background?
Even if the First Emperor were to be resurrected, Ying Chen would still remain unfazed, criticizing his later reign's folly and ingratitude!
Despite Ying Chen's great contributions, the Emperor, in his pursuit of immortality, had colluded with his master to harm Ying Chen!
"Are you the ones who called me?" Yan Yang asked, walking into the house and casting a cold glance at Ying Chen and Min Ziqiong.
"Elder Yan… hello!"
Min Ziqiong hesitated for a moment, then, adhering to etiquette, bowed slightly and greeted Yan Yang.
In just this short while, a bodyguard beside Yan Yang had already handed him a mobile phone, which was used to instantly retrieve Min Ziqiong's identity information!
The terrifying efficiency of the big data era was evident.
Yan Yang glanced at the phone, a sneer appearing on his lips: "They say a strong dragon doesn't pressure local snakes. If someone from the Ma family were here, I wouldn't be surprised, but for someone from your Min family to be here, aren't you courting death?"
Yan Yang clearly didn't take the Min family seriously!
Min Ziqiong's body trembled, and she quickly explained: "Elder Yan, please don't misunderstand. We have no ill intentions. We just..."
Before Min Ziqiong could finish, Ying Chen interrupted her.
"We just want this villa of yours."
Hearing this, Min Ziqiong's heart sank, and she mentally cried out, "It's over."
Big brother, you need to proceed step by step, cautiously!
Why reveal the objective right away?
Wouldn't that cause them to turn hostile immediately?
As expected, upon hearing Ying Chen's words, the sneer on Yan Yang's lips intensified, tinged with a hint of coldness.
"You want my villa?"
"Did I say I was selling it? I didn't say I was selling it, so on what grounds do you dare to say you want it!"
"Furthermore, do you know how much this villa is worth? Just by publicizing my name, Yan Yang, this villa can be valued at three times its construction cost!"
"Three times, which is sixty billion! Can you afford it?"
"It's not that I look down on your Min family, but if you were to sell your entire Min family's assets and all its members, you still wouldn't be able to gather sixty billion!"
Yan Yang's words were sharp and extremely unpleasant to hear, but Min Ziqiong had to admit they were true.
Just as Min Ziqiong was rendered speechless by Yan Yang's taunts, she heard Ying Chen laugh: "So, in your eyes, your own life is not even worth sixty thousand?"
"What?" Yan Yang's pupils constricted sharply.
The next second, the two bodyguards beside Yan Yang simultaneously drew their guns from their waists.
Click, click, the sound of guns being cocked. Their movements were fluid and professional.
It was clear they were all top-tier elites.
The dark muzzles pointed directly at Ying Chen.
Yan Yang's expression turned icy and grim as he asked, "Speak, what do you know?"
Min Ziqiong was terrified by this sudden turn of events and waved her hands repeatedly: "Elder Yan, it's not what you think. We truly have no ill intentions! We didn't intend to do anything to you, much less be foolish enough to threaten your personal safety!"
"Please have them put away their guns. Let's talk things out properly..."
However, Yan Yang seemed not to hear Min Ziqiong's words, continuing to stare coldly at Ying Chen and pressing further: "What exactly do you know? If you don't tell me, you won't be leaving this villa today!"
