Chapter 71

The three quickly got into Yang Chen's car and headed back to the hospital. Yang Chen also called Aunt Wang to let her know they were safe. Aunt Wang was overjoyed to the point of tears and hurriedly said she would go to the hospital to see the young miss.

In the car, Mo Qianyi kept asking Yang Chen what had happened. Lin Ruoxi, who was usually cold, pretended to be indifferent but was clearly quite curious, occasionally glancing at Yang Chen.

To be honest, Lin Ruoxi had gone from initial disgust and indifference to gradually developing some interest in this man, especially after his recent miraculous performances. This was the first time in her life she felt the urge to understand who this person was. However, if it were to be said that she liked him, there was still a long way to go. Just his lack of ambition alone was enough to make the hardworking Lin Ruoxi look down on him.

Unable to resist Mo Qianyi's threats and inducements, Yang Chen casually made up a lie. He said that when he arrived, he had already called in the special forces stationed in Zhonghai to deal with their criminal gang. If they didn't leave quickly, they would be surrounded by the forces. Lin Kun had lied to them about there being no special forces, so he was the bad guy. In the end, the other party wisely chose to take Lin Kun's money and leave, thus ignoring the three of them.

Such a lie would even fool a three-year-old, but Yang Chen stuck to it, and Mo Qianyi eventually gave up, sitting in the car angrily and no longer speaking to Yang Chen.

In fact, if it weren't for Yang Chen's disregard for his own safety and his solo rescue based on the group's demands, they wouldn't have let him off so easily and would have insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

Lin Ruoxi didn't ask much else, but suddenly interjected, "What language did you use to talk to that man just now?"

"Oh, Vietnamese," Yang Chen knew he couldn't hide this.

Mo Qianyi couldn't help but look at Yang Chen with a gaze that seemed to see a monster, "You know English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Japanese, and now Vietnamese too?"

"Is that strange? I also know Thai; the two languages are quite similar," Yang Chen interpreted Mo Qianyi's gaze as admiration and said with a bit of pride.

Lin Ruoxi was slightly moved. If it were just about languages, this man might indeed be a genius, but then she thought again, "Why did you learn Vietnamese?"

Yang Chen grinned, "Wife, you haven't heard of it? Back in the day, Vietnam had a slogan, 'Sacrifice a generation of young girls to prosper the Vietnamese economy.' Vietnamese girls are quite good, high-quality and cheap. I learned it from going to Vietnam often."

"..."

After sending Lin Ruoxi back to the hospital and settling her in, Yang Chen didn't stay long. He left the rest to Mo Qianyi and Aunt Wang. Fortunately, no one had called the police, so it saved a lot of trouble.

After leaving the hospital, Yang Chen made a call. The call was quickly answered, and a familiar rough voice came through...

"Mr. Yang, the person you wanted to catch has been brought back, waiting for you to deal with personally."

"Is it at Chen's residence... Oh, no, it's now called Zhang's residence, right?" Yang Chen smiled.

On the other end, Zhang Hu chuckled, "Thanks to Mr. Yang and Miss Qiangwei's secret help, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Yang Chen didn't bother with formalities and said, "Zhang Hu, I'm coming over now. Before I arrive, you can start giving that guy a taste of his own medicine, but remember, don't hurt him to the point of death. The rest doesn't matter... I want him to have no claws left to scratch with..."

"Yes, Mr. Yang, you can rest assured about this," Zhang Hu's voice had a hint of ruthlessness.

After hanging up, Yang Chen slowly drove to Zhang's residence, giving Zhang Hu more time to deal with Lin Kun. If it were up to Yang Chen, he would have taken Lin Kun's life directly. But since he had decided to blend into ordinary society, killing his father-in-law would be inappropriate. Moreover, although Lin Ruoxi had completely lost faith in her father, if she found out that Yang Chen had killed him, it might create an unbridgeable gap.

Human emotions are the most unpredictable. Just a few days ago, he and Lin Ruoxi were complete strangers, but now, he couldn't help but consider her feelings.

When Yang Chen found a place to park and walked to Zhang's residence, about half an hour had passed. The guards at the gate bowed to him in unison.

Yang Chen saw a hint of fear in their eyes, probably remembering the night he had broken in here, which was still fresh in their minds.

"Mr. Yang!" Zhang Hu's familiar loud voice came from the gate. He was leading four or five burly subordinates toward him, wearing a white shirt and a Rolex gold watch, giving him a more gangster-like appearance.

"Looks like you're doing well, looking like a big boss," Yang Chen said with a playful smile.

Zhang Hu's face turned red, "Hehe, it's all thanks to Miss Qiangwei's leadership. I'm just a rough man, and my subordinates are all bloodthirsty brothers who don't understand these things."

Yang Chen asked curiously, "Is your contact with Qiangwei very close?"

Zhang Hu was taken aback, then laughed easily, "I know what Mr. Yang is worried about. Don't worry, Mr. Yang. The people the West Alliance planted around me have been avoided. My contact with Miss Qiangwei is also very covert. The president of the West Alliance, Situ Mingze, even had a drink with me yesterday. That old man seemed grateful that I turned down Chen Dehai."

"Oh? Situ Mingze isn't suspicious?" Yang Chen didn't believe that a major figure in the West District underworld would be so naive.

Zhang Hu said excitedly, "A few days ago, Miss Qiangwei put on a good show. When her subordinates from the Red Thorn Society fought with my men over a territory, a few people died, and I eventually took the territory. In fact, it was a place Miss Qiangwei used to negotiate with me, just a decoy. After sacrificing a few low-level scum, Situ Mingze has already let me into the West Alliance's council of elders."

"You can't be too careful. Until the last moment, no one knows the outcome," Yang Chen reminded him, feeling that things wouldn't be that simple.

Zhang Hu nodded seriously, but his gaze on Yang Chen was full of confidence. Even if Situ Mingze didn't truly trust him, with this man by his side, he could always storm the old man's lair and kill him, just like he had done with Chen Dehai alone!

Yang Chen also understood Zhang Hu's thoughts but didn't bother to say more. Although he wasn't afraid to act, the trouble it would bring might disrupt his peaceful life, which was why he usually didn't act rashly.

"Where is Lin Kun?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhang Hu then realized that the poor old man was named Lin Kun, pointing to a distant warehouse, "He's in there. My sister, Zhang Ying, heard that it was something Mr. Yang wanted to do and volunteered to go in."

"Your sister?" Yang Chen remembered the young girl who had naively asked him, "Why don't you run away?" It seemed that her brother becoming the boss here had made her life quite comfortable.

Zhang Hu smiled slyly, "Mr. Yang might not know, but my sister has more tricks up her sleeve than I do. Mr. Yang said that as long as he doesn't die, anything goes, so she went in right away."

Yang Chen believed Zhang Hu. He had seen Zhang Ying being tied to a bed and tortured by Chen Feng, and the psychological trauma she had suffered would naturally lead her to use some twisted methods on others.

Led by Zhang Hu, Yang Chen walked to the unassuming small warehouse. Even before he stepped inside, he could hear the cries coming from inside, which were clearly from Lin Kun, sounding quite "grievous" and "painful."

The warehouse was dimly lit by a few incandescent lights, and the air was filled with a smell like burnt charcoal. Various discarded furniture, materials, and curtains were piled around.

The moment he stepped inside, the scene that met Yang Chen's eyes, and the big men around him, made them all drop their jaws in shock!

In a small open area, Lin Kun's designer clothes were already thrown on the ground, and even his underwear was nowhere to be found. Years of indulgence in alcohol and women had left his body pale and flabby.

His hands were tied with ropes hanging from the beams, and his feet were tied together, allowing only up and down movement.

If that was all, the expressions of the onlookers wouldn't have been so strange, but behind Lin Kun, a thin young man was also naked, hugging Lin Kun's waist and continuously doing things that men shouldn't do to each other, panting and letting out hoarse, relieved cries...

Lin Kun was actually being violated by a man! No wonder he was making those "grievous" and "painful" cries. Always the one to play with others, this time he was being played with, and he probably didn't even have the strength to cry!

Yang Chen had seen many such scenes abroad, but he had never seen such an unattractive pair, and the details were so clear right in front of him.

"Mr. Yang, big brother, how is it? Isn't my move good?" Zhang Ying, standing in a corner of the warehouse, saw the newcomers and walked up with a seductive smile, as if seeking praise.

"Yingzi, isn't this a bit too harsh?" Zhang Hu shivered.

Zhang Ying snorted, "If you dare to provoke Mr. Yang, this is still light. If I could hurt him, I would do even worse!" She also gave Yang Chen a seductive glance.

Yang Chen didn't dare to interact much with this eccentric woman, just smiled noncommittally. As he looked at the disgusting scene before him again, he suddenly noticed that the young man violating Lin Kun looked somewhat familiar.
