Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 56 Prison Car
Why bother thinking about them? I can cut off all ties with them once I'm legally an adult next year. The commissions I earned as a hermit are enough to live a carefree life.

If I were to die of old age like a normal person.

Ai Liang forcibly banished the faces of those two people from her mind.

Ai Liang slowly pulled away from Yang Xingguo's large hand and said, "Please rest assured, my relationship with Xingyue will not change in any way."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people present changed.

Yang Xingguo felt that something was wrong. It sounded like he was entrusting his daughter to him. Yang Xingyue blushed and smiled through her tears.

Only Yue Qihua's expression was strange. She sensed another, albeit subtle, meaning in Ai Liang's words: he did not intend to accept Yang Xingyue's feelings.

I'm probably overthinking it. How could anyone not like a girl like Xingyue?

Yue Qihua comforted herself in her heart.

At this point, Yang Xingguo couldn't say anything more. If he asked Yang Xingyue what changes she wanted, she would definitely explode.

Yang Xingguo sized up Ai Liang.

Actually, this kid is quite good. He's smart, handsome, and comes from a respectable family. Judging from how diligently he tutors Xingyue, he's not just a playboy who talks the talk but walks the walk. He's devoted to his relationships, and most importantly, his daughter likes him too.

It seems she has no reason to refuse a son-in-law who's trying to steal her daughter's thunder.

Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo felt relieved.

He reached out to pat Ai Liang on the shoulder to show his approval, but Ai Liang subconsciously took half a step back, and his hand patted the air.

This is very embarrassing.

"Alright, Dad, look how scared you've made her."

Yang Xingyue stepped between the two, blocking Yang Xingguo's path.

Yang Xingguo's cheeks twitched slightly.

In his view, things go like this: You and a pig make eye contact, and you want to take the initiative to show goodwill and greet the pig, but the pig avoids you in disgust.

Immediately afterwards, a plump, long-legged cabbage from their own vegetable garden jumped out and bounced around the pig's mouth right in front of them, as if it wanted to crawl inside.

Upon seeing this scene, Yang Xingguo's blood pressure immediately spiked.

Yue Qihua stepped in to smooth things over: "If there's nothing else, let's go. Don't keep blocking the road. We can talk in the car, it's raining."

After saying that, she turned to Ai Liang and said, "Ai Liang, want to go to KTV together? The classmates have booked a private room. Ma Yu and Xiao Xiao have already taken a taxi there. Are you coming?"

"I don't need it, I have something else to do."

"It's summer vacation, what can't you finish during such a long holiday?" Yue Qihua grabbed Ai Liang's hand and forcibly shoved him into the car.

"This is the first and possibly the last class reunion after graduation. At a time like this, even if it's just to show up and make a gesture, we should still go, right?"

Yue Qihua's words made a lot of sense. Ai Liang couldn't find a reason to refute them, so she could only nod helplessly. But couldn't you just let me take a taxi there myself?
Sitting in Yang Xingguo's car, Ai Liang felt extremely uncomfortable. He had a feeling that Yang Xingguo would turn the car around and run towards the detention center at any moment, or drive the car to a deserted place and lock himself in the car while watching Yang Xingguo grin and press the detonation button.

Seeing that Ai Liang agreed, Yue Qihua immediately shoved Yang Xingyue into the back seat as well, while she herself went to the passenger seat. She even winked at Yang Xingyue before leaving.

Yang Xingguo saw all of this, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of upsetting Yang Xingyue again. The hierarchy of the family was obvious.

So Yang Xingguo shifted the focus to the party: "Which KTV did you go to?"

"It's a KTV that doesn't serve alcohol and caters to students. Several classes booked rooms there; the place was practically booked by people from our school," Yue Qihua explained, knowing what Yang Xingguo was worried about.

"I'll just show up, give a gift, sit for a while, and then leave. We've arranged to meet at the dessert shop a few nights ago to check our answers and estimate our scores, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Yang Xingguo nodded and did not object further, then drove to the KTV that Yue Qihua had mentioned.

However, whenever he waits at a red light, Yang Xingguo will look at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Yang Xingyue was still the same Yang Xingyue, sitting properly in the middle-left seat, glancing to the right every now and then, while Ai Liang leaned against the car door, staring blankly out the window.

Yang Xingguo sighed. Xingyue would definitely be completely under his thumb in the future. This was just the beginning.

He cursed himself inwardly for being so desperate to have a grandson.

The three got out of the car at the entrance of the KTV. Yang Xingguo told Yue Qihua to keep an eye on Yang Xingyue before driving away.

As for why he didn't just tell Ai Liang to take good care of the two girls?

Yang Xingguo knew his niece Yue Qihua's personality quite well; she was always the one bullying others.

Led by Yue Qihua, the three entered the elevator.

"Um, Ai Liang, my dad is usually very gentle at home," Yang Xingyue said hesitantly after getting on the elevator.

gentle?

Do you have some misunderstanding about the word "gentle"? Was Yang Xingguo, who smashed the criminal's head with the butt of his gun when it was out of bullets, gentle?

If Yang Xingguo chose to send the prisoners to their deaths because he was worried that they wouldn't eat or sleep well in prison, then it could indeed be considered a kind of gentleness.

Ai Liang, who was only familiar with Yang Xingguo, who liked to discard his tools after they had served their purpose, gave Yang Xingyue an awkward yet polite smile.

He found it difficult to apply that word to Director Yang, whom he knew so well.

“Dad might have really mistaken someone for someone else. He often acts on his intuition, so please don’t mind,” Yang Xingyue continued to explain.

Perhaps at the time Yang Xingyue was blaming her father on Ai Liang, but after calming down, she couldn't bear to see her father misunderstood by others and tried her best to defend him.

No, he didn't mistake me for someone else; that was our most authentic relationship after we each tore off our masks.

Ai Liang looked at the numbers on the elevator and thought to herself.

"Ai Liang, say something!" Yang Xingyue gently poked his arm.

"I understand. I don't mind what happened just now, and I believe Uncle Yang won't do it again. Only a careful and vigilant person like him can ensure the safety of the people," Ai Liang said with a smile.

If he touches me again, I'll break his legs!

Ai Liang made a silent vow in her heart.

From most people's perspective, Ai Liang admires Yang Xingguo; only someone like him can guarantee the safety of a city. But from the perspective of the hermit, Ai Liang just wants to cripple him and let him enjoy his old age prematurely.

"Alright, do you think Ai Liang would care about such a trivial matter?" Yue Qihua interrupted their conversation. "I heard that quite a few people are planning to take this opportunity to confess their feelings. I bet there will be quite a show to start in the private room."

Yue Qihua looked at Ai Liang with a mischievous smile: "Do you think anyone will confess their love to our beloved husband later?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xingyue immediately became anxious, and the matter of Yang Xingguo was immediately forgotten.

"Huahua, didn't we agree to compare answers? When are we leaving?" Yang Xingyue seemed impatient about estimating the scores, but her real purpose was left unsaid.

Yue Qihua patted Yang Xingyue's head and looked at her with a teasing expression: "No need to be in such a hurry. We just got here. We should sit for a while."

Looking at Yang Xingyue pouting, Yue Qihua felt very pleased.

She interrupted Yang Xingyue because she was worried that Ai Liang would get annoyed. Sometimes, if you do something wrong, others may not mind at first, but if you ask them about it repeatedly, they will become impatient.
