My Ares Son-in-Law
Chapter 6628: Bad News for the Yang Family
Then, Xiao Chen started the car and slowly drove out of the park. The wheels left two long marks on the road, just like the legendary mark he left in this city.
On the top of the ancient tower that soars into the clouds on the mountain, a graceful figure fell down like a meteor in the night sky.
The moonlight shone on her, outlining her graceful outline, but also reflecting her solemn expression at the moment.
It was a woman, dressed in a black outfit, her sleeves dancing in the wind, like an elf in the dark night.
Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, a few strands of hair fluttered slightly in the night breeze, but could not hide the complex light flashing in her eyes.
She had been hiding in the dark, closely watching Xiao Chen's every move at the foot of the mountain, thinking that she had hidden herself perfectly, but unexpectedly, Xiao Chen actually discovered her.
"Oh, I really was wrong!" She patted her forehead lightly and muttered softly, with a hint of surprise and sincere admiration in her tone.
The voice was as gentle as a whisper in the night wind, but it carried a hint of shock that was difficult to conceal. "I didn't expect this kid to be so terrifying, and to be so cruel and decisive. I was worried that he would be tricked by those old foxes in the Yang family, but now it seems that I was really worrying in vain."
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of re-examination of Xiao Chen's strength, while at the same time she was full of anticipation for what was going to happen next.
"The Yang family is definitely going to be in chaos this time. Those self-righteous old guys are probably getting anxious like ants on a hot pot."
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, as if she had seen the panic of the Yang family. "What happens next is getting more and more interesting. This game seems to be developing in a direction that I can't imagine."
After saying this, she jumped lightly, her figure as light as an elf in the night.
She floated down lightly from the top of the tower, lightly touched the eaves with her toes, then used the force to leap up again, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
When it landed, it was silent, like a feather, without stirring up a speck of dust.
Her steps were light and agile, and every step seemed to be stepping on the notes of the night, making subtle yet harmonious sounds.
Then she walked briskly into the darkness.
Her figure gradually blurred in the night and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only the faint fragrance that slowly drifted in the air, as if telling of her presence.
The park became quiet again, as if the thrilling scene just now had never happened.
The moonlight still shines in every corner of the park. The flowers, plants and trees sway gently in the night breeze. The occasional chirping of insects breaks the silence of the night, but adds a bit of tranquility and peace.
On the other side, Xiao Chen dragged his slightly tired but determined body back to his home.
Before entering, he stood at the door and checked himself carefully.
He first looked down at his hands to make sure there was no trace of blood, then checked every part of his clothes from top to bottom, and even turned around under the street light to make sure there was no blood on his body before he pushed the door open with confidence.
It was past nine o'clock, and the room was quiet. Only the dim wall lamp emitted a soft light, adding a bit of warmth to the whole room. Sophie was wearing loose home clothes and lazily leaning on the sofa. When she heard the door open, she rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. She raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly, "You're back so soon? When you meet friends, don't you drink a little and chat? Could it be that they dislike you and kicked you out?"
There was a sly gleam in her eyes and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing two cute dimples.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered the excuse he had made up in the afternoon. He couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down.
He quickly smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, it can be solved in a few words, there's nothing to delay. Besides, drinking and chatting with friends is not as important as going home to accompany you."
……
As dusk fell, exquisite palace lanterns lit up one after another on the eaves of the Yang family mansion.
There are as many as a hundred of these palace lanterns, all with lampshades made of the finest silk and satin, painted with delicate and intricate auspicious patterns. In the past, whenever they were lit during festivals or family events, they would be colorful and magnificent, attracting the envy of others.
However, at this moment, in this night wind as thick as ink, the candlelight of the palace lanterns was swaying, flickering, and the flickering light and shadows projected on the mottled walls were like clusters of strange ghost fires, dancing silently in the dark night, as if telling unknown secrets, or issuing a warning for the coming storm.
Yang Wei, the well-known helmsman of the Yang family who has experienced ups and downs in the business world for many years, is now deeply immersed in the exquisitely carved sandalwood sofa.
The dark patterns on the sofa armrests were carefully carved by skilled craftsmen from Jiangnan, who took several months to complete. Each pattern contains the ancient charm and family glory.
But Yang Wei had no intention of appreciating it. His knuckles unconsciously rubbed the dark patterns, as if trying to calm the emotions surging like raging storms deep in his heart.
The old sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, which had been played with by him until it was warm and smooth, now creaked when he pinched it. Every slight sound seemed to be an externalization of his inner anxiety and uneasiness.
There were several middle-aged men standing in the hall. They were all the Yang family's confidants and were usually powerful and domineering figures.
But at this moment, in this dead silence, they all stood with their hands hanging down, their heads lowered almost into their chests, not daring to breathe.
Their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, as if they were on an isolated island before a storm, helplessly waiting for the judgment of fate.
Only the copper bells on the eaves made tiny whimpering sounds in the draft. The sound was light and floating, but it was like a handful of fine needles that pierced straight into everyone's hearts, making this hall, which was already as silent as a tomb, even more eerie and terrifying.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the sandalwood table buzzed without warning. The violent vibration sounded like a thunder in the dead silence of the room, shaking everyone.
Yang Tian, who was closest to the phone, reacted the fastest. He pounced forward with such swiftness that he was like a hare startled by a shotgun.
His rough palms grasped the phone tightly as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down violently, as if he wanted to swallow down the fear and tension in his heart with the swallowing movement.
He pressed the answer button with trembling fingers, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, as if it was the pen that could decide his life or death. (End of this chapter)
