from the investment department. It was quite a show of force. After taking their seats, they discovered that Lu Kuo from Listening Whale Finance and Zhuo Yu'an from Zhuo Yuan Technology were also in...Ding Zhi remained unmoved by the insults, eventually even managing a heartless retort.

“There is no turning back now.”

Yi Muyang flew into a rage, and with his cane in hand, he smashed it down hard at Ding Zhi.

Dingzhi stood his ground, not dodging or flinching. His back was slammed with a powerful blow, causing him intense pain and a muffled grunt. Yimu Yang was still unsatisfied. He jumped forward on one leg, wanting to fight Dingzhi to the death. How could there be such a person who would ruin someone else's life like this.

Ding Zhi just stood there and let him beat him.

"This is what I owe you."

Yi Muyang's eyes were bloodshot, and he cursed.

"Don't **ing bull** me. If anything happens to Shu Tinglan and the children, you'll pay with your life."

He was extremely irritable. Beating Ding Zhi didn't relieve his anger. He had accidentally bumped his injured leg in a fit of rage just now, and only now did he feel the pain. He gritted his teeth and sat there waiting for the driver to pick him up.

Ding Zhi came out of the darkness, and his heart was still as evil as ever.

“Since Gan An came to find you personally, it shows how much they value you. I'll report your situation immediately to the higher-ups. Rest assured, your safety always comes first.”

"Did I **ing agree to this Just go report it upstairs. Report to your mother."

He walked out with a stooped gait, his back straight yet undeniably lonely. It was the first time in his life he felt powerless. While Gan An only gave him three days to consider, Ding Zhi had already mapped out his future path.

The driver came to pick him up, and he gave the address of Shu Tinglan's house.

At that time, Shu Tinglan and Zhuo Yu'an didn't know who the two men in black were. Even with Lu Kuo using his connections to investigate for a long time, they couldn't find any information about them. Even the license plate of the black car was temporarily forged.

If you know who the other party is, there's nothing to be afraid of. But if you can't find any information about them, it makes people uneasy. Aunt Liu was playing with two children in the toy area of the living room, while Shu Tinglan and Zhuo YUAN both had serious expressions.

Zuo Yu'an reminded her >

"Tinglan, have you taken on any cases recently or in the past that might have offended someone you don't know" That was the direction he could think of.

Shu Tinglan has a good memory for work. She carefully thought back over all the cases she had taken on in recent months and didn't find any suspicious individuals. Most of the cases she took were ordinary disputes or commercial disputes involving companies. They weren't related to the underworld at all. No, just now those two acted like they belonged to the mafia. Even though their faces weren't clear in the video, their demeanor and aura screamed "criminal".

Unexpectedly, she thought of Ding Zhi again. He, like these people, had that gloomy aura about him.

She called Yimu Yang again, and this time the phone was answered quickly.

"Ayang, where are you" she asked.

"Open the door, I'm outside." Coincidentally, Yi Muyang happened to be at her doorstep.

She hurried to open the door, Yi Muyang limping in with a grim expression.

The house she lived in wasn't big. As soon as the door opened, the children playing in the living room toy area saw him and immediately dropped their toys and ran over happily.

"Uncle Yi."

"Uncle Yi."

Two little kids ran and jumped into his arms. Yi Muyang was still slightly bent at the knee, picking them up and walking into the living room toy area. He didn't say anything, just sat beside them and played with them.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Zhuo Yu'an sitting in the restaurant. He pretended not to see me. I patiently played with the children for a while until they were no longer paying attention to him. Then he got up and walked to the balcony of the living room, and beckoned Tinglan over.

Shu Tinglan had been itching to talk to him ever since just now, but she held back because the children were around. Now, she quickly walked to the balcony and closed the glass doors leading from the balcony to the living room. With the conversation on the balcony hidden away, no one inside could hear what was being said.

Even though Yi Muyang tried to conceal his emotions, his face betrayed him, and Shu Tinglan saw right through him.

"Did you hear about what happened today in the community Someone was following Mrs. Liu and the children."

"Well."

"Who are they Do you know them"

Yi Muyang couldn't tell her who they were. It was a world too far removed from their own. Telling her they were ruthless drug dealers would only put her in danger.

Seeing Yi Muyang remain silent, Shu Tinglan became anxious. At this point, she wasn't just worried about the children, but also Yi Muyang. Because at this moment, she was certain that these people were after Yi Muyang.

"Speak up!" Shu Tinglan snapped at Yi Muyang for the first time.

Yimu Yang stood by the railing of the balcony, looking at the thousands of lights in the distance. A feeling of sadness, even tragedy, surged in his heart. Life is full of ups and downs, most want freedom but are most bound.

He didn't answer, but instead suddenly turned and pulled Shu Tinglan close into his embrace.

Shutinglan was beaten by the people in his building and couldn't catch his breath, so he asked...

“Will you be in danger”

Yi Muyang felt his body tremble slightly at her sincere concern. He tightened his grip on her hand. She was petite, with a fragile frame that seemed like it could break if he applied too much pressure. Yet, there was an unwavering determination within her, a force that pushed her forward relentlessly and filled those around her with energy.

Just like before, after finishing his work at the Dingzi place, on his way here, he was feeling down. But when he saw her, his wilted spirit was revitalized with energy, and he no longer felt lost.

He held her close, facing the living room. Seeing that Zhuo Yu'an glanced at him, he didn't stop his actions, even his eyes were peaceful, without a ripple.

In fact, if you were to analyze their relationship, they were rivals in love. But strangely, from beginning to end, they never spoke ill of each other. They even had to admit that deep down, they admired each other. Having such a rival was at least a good thing for their own image.

The children in the toy section were delighted to see them embracing each other, even clapping their hands. If it hadn't been for Zhuo Yu'an stopping them, they would have probably run out to join the hug.

Yimu Yang saw the children inside, his eyes stung again, and it took him a while to let go of Shu Tinglan. He then clasped her shoulders with both hands, forcing her to stand face-to-face with him. His expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"Tinglan, listen to me, don't ask why, you immediately take the children back to Senzhou or Beijing with Zhuo Yu'an."

Shu Tinglan stiffened, looked up at him, her expression even more serious than his.

"What happened"

Yi Muyang couldn't answer because he absolutely couldn't involve Shu Tinglan. If she knew that Gan An and the others were drug lords, it would be very difficult for her to escape. Secondly, he had no other choice but to follow the path arranged by Ding Zhi. As a result, this identity had to be kept secret, and he couldn't tell anyone about it. This was not only to protect himself, but also to protect Ding Zhi.

"Come on, talk to me. What's going on We can figure this out together."

Shu Tinglan certainly wouldn't just leave the city and return to Senzhou with her child based on his mere words.

Yi Mu Yang also knew that if he didn't make himself clear, he couldn't persuade her. But the truth was something he couldn't tell her.ake a call, one should do so.Zuo Y uan was in the study of the Zuo family ancestral home, accompanying Shu Xiaonian in practicing calligraphy.
