 Chapter 304: Nangong Chang's Ruthless Means, the Hou Family Demands for People

Hou Chuan's cold gaze swept over the bodyguards hired by the Tang family, and his murderous intent was evident in his eyes. To him, these bodyguards were as good as dead. Their skills weren't even worth him personally taking action. Any one of the Hou family's secret guards could take care of them easily. If anyone dared to harm his master's wife, they wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it. "What are you all waiting for? Attack!" Tang Ya's father didn't think much of Hou Chuan and his men, believing that they were evenly matched at worst. However, the bodyguards were afraid of Hou Chuan and his men. They didn't seem like mere hired hands to maintain order. They could smell the thick scent of blood emanating from Hou Chuan and his men, a murderous aura that seemed to have crawled out from a pile of bones. Although Tang Ya's father had given the order, none of the bodyguards dared to move. He pointed at the captain of the bodyguards and berated him, "Don't you want your money? I'll pay you if you do as you're told! Don't embarrass me, you dogs! What are you pretending to be so deep for?" The words were harsh, and not just the captain but even his brothers' faces turned ugly. But Tang Ya's father was their employer, and they dared not speak up. Hou Chuan saw all of this and chuckled, "Xiao Zhi, did you hear the dogs barking?" "Yeah, it's noisy," Hou Zhi replied, her face expressionless and her tone indifferent. Hou Chuan stared at Tang Ya's father with a fierce gaze and said, word by word, "Did you hear that? You're making too much noise. You'd better shut up!" Tang Ya's father was afraid of Huo Chuan and didn't dare to argue with him. He could only direct his anger towards the bodyguards. He pointed at the captain and his brothers behind him and said, "Alright, you're all fired! I'm going to complain about you and have you all kicked out of the company!" "Boss Tang..." the captain wanted to plead for mercy. But in the next moment, he was dumbfounded. Hou Zhi walked forward and tripped Tang Ya's father neatly, using a handkerchief she had picked up somewhere to forcefully cover his foul mouth. This girl's face was full of disgust. "We told you that you were too noisy." Tang Ya's mother was immediately furious when she saw this. "You're breaking the law! Let him go, or I'll call the police!" "Hou Zhi signaled to his henchmen who had followed closely behind him, and they used the same method to knock down Tang Ya's mother. To prevent her from making any noise, they also covered her mouth. Tang Ya's mother was treated slightly better than Tang's father. The secret guards of the Hou family used a piece of cloth torn from her skirt to cover her mouth. Qin Ruan watched this scene coldly and did not stop them. She walked up to Tang Ya's father and mother and used her Heavenly Eyes to investigate. After a while, the golden light in her eyes dissipated and she said lightly, "Tang Ya isn't dead." Tang Ya's father and mother sobbed uncontrollably and shook their heads, staring at Qin Ruan. "Really?" Qin Mei, who had been silent since entering the room, jumped out and stared at Qin Ruan expectantly. "It's true," Qin Ruan said, frowning and looking at Hou Chuan, her eyes showing a hint of conflict. Hou Chuan stepped forward and respectfully said, "Madam, please tell me if you have any orders." "This matter involves the Nangong family," Qin Ruan said, her tone slightly stern. Huo Chuan's face changed slightly, but he quickly replied, "Third Young Master has ordered us to take on any big matters, and the Hou family can handle them. Madam, please don't hesitate to give your orders." Qin Ruan turned to Qin Jingcen and asked, "Big brother, which hospital did you take Tang Ya to?" Qin Jingcen reported the name of the hospital. Qin Ruan turned back to Hou Chuan and said, "Tang Ya is still in the hospital, and she should be under the protection of the Nangong family. Can you bring her here?" "No problem, I will take my men there now," Huo Chuan replied. "Thank you-" Qin Ruan began. "Madam, you're being too polite," Hou Chuan interrupted, bowing slightly before leaving with his men. After Huo Chuan and his men left, Tang's father and mother were lying on the ground in a miserable state and still struggling. Qin Ruan didn't spare them a glance. She walked up to her father and big brother and said solemnly, "The child in Tang Ya's belly is gone, but she herself is not in any danger. This is a retaliation by the Nangong family against the Qin family." With the help of her Heavenly Eyes, Qin Ruan was able to discern the basic cause and effect of the situation. "There is a shadow of the Nangong family in the Tang Ya incident. "Is it really like this?" Qin Jingcen frowned, his handsome and gentle face looking extremely unpleasant. If this was the case, why did Tang Ya do what she did yesterday? Several years ago, Nangong Chang had sent someone to warn him, and now he was taking action against the Qin family for the sake of Tang Ya. If this wasn't true love, it might be a psychological disorder. Qin Ruan's gaze fell on Qin Jingcen's puzzled face, and he asked, "Brother, were you trying to force a marriage with Tang Ya when she calculated against you yesterday?" "Yes." Qin Jingcen face looked ugly. Yesterday's memory was an insult to him. Qin Ruan saw the pale face of his elder brother, clearly exhausted from being manipulated by someone, and couldn't help but ask, "What did she do to you?" "She drugged me and tried to use this to force me to marry her." Qin Jingcen lowered his eyes, unwilling to meet his siblings' inquiring gazes. This was a great humiliation for him as a man. "This woman is shameless!" Qin Mei angrily exclaimed, her gnashing teeth showing that she empathized with Qin Jingcen. Qin Ruan's gaze swept over the neatly arranged shirt that Qin Jingcen was wearing, and she remembered the scars she had seen underneath it. Her face slowly darkened, her eyes flashing with danger, and a hint of pain. "She laid her hands on you. I will personally take revenge on her for this." Tang Ya dared to fake her own death and attempt to seize the Qin family's assets. No one from the Tang family would be spared. Qin Jingcen heard this and looked embarrassed. Yesterday, he had been careless, otherwise he wouldn't have had such an experience. Fortunately, he had held on until the end and hadn't crossed the line with Tang Ya. But those experiences were enough to become a shadow that would follow him for the rest of his life. To have his younger sister speak up for him in this matter was not an easy thing to accept, and Qin Jingcen felt defeated. Qin Anguo sat on the side and listened to the three children discussing, never uttering a word. He was getting old, and had handed over the company's affairs to his eldest son, while his daughter had married into the Hou family, and his second son, who seemed to be indifferent, was still someone who had things under control. It seemed that he really should let go. Children all have their own paths to take. He now hopes to live longer and enjoy the pleasures of playing with his grandchildren. At the same time, in the hospital, Tang Ya was crying in the arms of a stranger, "A-chang, we lost our child. It was a boy, and we won't have children again..." She had undergone too many abortions, and now she could never be a mother again. The man holding Tang Ya wasn't particularly handsome, but he exuded an air of nobility that was cultivated within his family and beyond the reach of ordinary people. He was Nangong Chang, the eldest son of the Nan Gong family, one of the six great aristocratic families. He truly liked Tang Ya, both her delicate and fragile nature, and her willingness to be submissive during sex, letting him do as he pleased. But his affection could not reach the level of love, nor could it be compared with his family's interests. Nangong Chang stroked Tang Ya's thin shoulders and saw the scars on her exposed shoulder. His gaze darkened slightly, with a hint of desire in his eyes. These were whip marks that had been there for almost half a month. Tang Ya had many scars on her body, all of which were personally given to her by Nangong Chang. This woman appeared to be delicate, but her body was very resilient. No matter how he treated her, she seemed unbreakable. Nangong Chang moved his gaze away from her and calmly comforted Tang Ya, "I will be by your side. Once you are discharged, the Qin family will no longer exist." "Really?" Tang Ya suddenly raised her head, her face full of gratitude and her eyes glistening with tears. This was the kind of expression that always left Nangong Chang powerless to resist. In her fragility, there was also a deep sense of trust and belief in him. It was as if he were her god, her light, and her sky. He was the only executioner who could control her. Nangong Chang sighed inwardly, but unfortunately, he couldn't enjoy himself at the moment. Tang Ya had just had surgery, and her delicate state couldn't withstand any more abuse. He covered her beautiful eyes with his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm not lying to you. I will destroy the insignificant Qin family to please you." For him, destroying the Qin family to win the favor of a desired toy was simply a matter of moving his fingers. He was about to get married soon, to Xiao Wenrou. Once he married her, he would have to leave behind his previous indulgences. Only Tang Ya could keep him entertained for a while longer. Nangong Chang thought it was a very good idea. He had someone investigate the Qin family and found that they had no significant background. Countless people in the capital were trying to climb the social ladder, and if the Qin family disappeared, someone else would quickly replace them. As for the Qin family's wealth, Nangong Chang didn't care about it. If Tang Ya's parents wanted it, they could have it. He only wanted Tang Ya for now. This woman was easy to handle and wouldn't give him any trouble. Most importantly, she wouldn't be able to conceive again, so he could do whatever he pleased. Xiao Wenrou knew about Tang Ya's existence, but as a woman who couldn't have children, she posed no threat to her. After they were married, they wouldn't have any conflicts because of Tang Ya's presence. Tang Ya didn't know that Nangong Chang saw her as an object. She gratefully leaned into his arms and softly said, "Thank you, Achang." Nangong Chang discreetly touched Tang Ya's earlobe. His deep and dangerous eyes focused on the whip marks on her shoulder, and his voice became hoarse, "I've missed you these past few days. Take good care of yourself and get well soon." "Mmm." Tang Ya blushed, instantly understanding what he meant. While the two of them were being affectionate, someone knocked on the door of the hospital room. "What's the matter?" Nangong Chang leaned against the bed, holding onto Tang Ya. His voice was displeased and low. "Young Master, someone from the Huo family has come." Nangong Chang's eyebrows furrowed in surprise at the mention of it, and his face took on a solemn expression as he got up and straightened his clothes. He walked briskly towards the door of the room. He opened the door from the inside, and the person standing outside came into his view. Hou Chuan, who had been following the Third Young Master for many years, was naturally familiar to Nangong Chang. A faint smile appeared on his face, "Isn't this Hou Chuan, who always follows the Third Young Master? What wind blew you here? How is the Third Young Master doing lately?" Hou Chuan's attitude was neither overbearing nor humble as he slightly bowed, "Hello, Young Master Nangong. The Third Young Master is doing well." "Why have you come to the hospital? Does the Third Young Master have any business with me?" Nangong Chang was puzzled because he and Huo Yunjiao had never seen eye to eye. Over the years, he had always looked down on that sickly fellow. Even though he looked down on him, he still had to address him as Third Young Master. (End of chapter )
