Inside, the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall was covered with debris.

Feng Shiniang, along with Luanfeng and Fang Dan, stood in front of the bathtub with swords in hand, while Lin Xiaoman stood on the other side, ready to attack at any moment.

Hua Xiyue and Zhong Yanran, who were treating Gu Shengyao in the bathtub, had their long dresses stained red with the blood they had vomited, clearly caused by the reverse flow of blood energy from what had just happened.

Chu Yang immediately came up behind the two women, his silver needles falling like meteors to stabilize their blood and qi, and then he put a pill into each of their mouths.

"How are you guys?"

Hua Xiyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "I'm fine."

Zhong Yanran pointed at a young man opposite her and said angrily, "This guy just took out his phone to take pictures and videos."

Seeing that Hua Xiyue and Zhong Yanran seemed fine, Chu Yang walked towards the old man and the young man who had barged in.

The old man's name was He Jiang. He was a key minister of the Chu family in the capital and one of the four pillars of the Chu family.

The Chu family has four pillars and eight beams, which are the family's retainers, responsible for defending the Chu family.

Chu Yang knew that since even He Jiang had arrived, there must be other people from the Eight Pillars.

This is not the place to investigate what just happened.

"If you have something to say, go outside and talk to me!"

He Jiang, who had been looking out the window the whole time, did not turn his head, but simply nodded slightly: "There was quite a disturbance just now."

Just as He Jiang was about to leave, the young man beside him sneered, "Old He, wait a minute!"

Chu Yang looked at his cousin Chu Kun, his brows already showing a hint of disgust.

Chu Kun tilted his head and looked at Chu Yang:

"You're just a convict, do you think you're some old Young Master Yang? What gives you the right to give orders? Not only will I not leave, I'm going to take pictures of that little slut behind you. What can you do about it?"

Chu Yang had lost his patience; his face was so cold it was almost frozen.

"Get out of here in three breaths! Otherwise, I'll blind you!"

Chu Kun suddenly burst into laughter: "You idiot, you really dare to brag! I'm standing right here, come on then."

Chu Yang held up one finger: "One breath left!"

Chu Kun sneered disdainfully, raising his middle finger: "I'm waiting for you!"

Chu Yang coldly uttered four words: "As you wish!"

Before he could finish speaking, He Jiang grabbed Chu Kun's arm and leaped into the courtyard.

"Old He! What are you doing? Are you afraid of him?" Chu Kun asked impatiently as soon as he landed.

He Jiang said in a low voice, "Young Master Kun, your forced entry was already impolite. With women bathing, we shouldn't linger."

Chu Kun said coldly, "Back then, Grandpa showered all his affection on this ungrateful wretch, making me feel like I was adopted. Now, not only is he ungrateful, but he also poisoned Grandpa with a poison pill, putting his life on the line. Why should we bother with him? Let's just kill him today!"

He Jiang waved his hand: "Before the old patriarch fell into a coma, he said he wanted to invite Young Master Yang back, not to capture or kill him."

Chu Kun looked resentful, but then seemed to realize something. A sly smile appeared on his lips as he nodded and said, "I'm just going through the motions. Everything is up to Elder He."

At this moment, four other burly middle-aged men, around fifty years old, walked over. They were four of the eight pillars of the Chu family.

They were followed by at least thirty people, all dressed in matching black short-sleeved outfits.

At the same time, two groups of people rushed into the gate of the Zunhuang Family.

On the left is the Dragon Shadow Guard led by Gu Ao, and on the right is the Law Enforcement Bureau Action Team led by Xiao Zhi, whose injuries have not yet fully healed.

Both sides received the news almost simultaneously.

He Jiang couldn't help but feel curious upon seeing this.

Although the Dragon Shadow Guard and the Law Enforcement Bureau have overlapping jurisdictions, they never appear on camera together, let alone in this kind of operation that clearly shows they are cooperating with each other.

Xiao Zhi stepped forward amiably, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "May I ask if you are from the Chu family of the capital?"

Chu Kun glanced at Xiao Zhi's uniform and scoffed.

"A mere law enforcement bureau chief dares to mention the Chu family? Get out of here right now!"

Xiao Zhi wasn't annoyed at all, and said in a friendly tone, "This is private property. I wonder if you all have obtained permission from the local owner?"

Chu Kun scoffed, "I can stay here as I please, and nobody can stop me."

Xiao Zhi was frustrated by Chu Kun's rebuke, but the Chu family did have the right to be arrogant. He, as an officer in the law enforcement bureau, really couldn't do anything about them and could only pin his hopes on Gu Ao.

Gu Ao was even more furious.

Before dawn, Chu Yang had already called him and Xiao Zhi, asking them to bring people over to ensure that the treatment would not be disturbed by any unexpected events.

They went to the restroom together, and when they came back, they heard that a group of people had gone in.

The group even displayed the official registration token of the Chu family in the capital, so neither the law enforcement bureau nor the Dragon Shadow Guard dared to stop them.

Chu Yang asked them to guard the perimeter, but they messed it up completely, and Gu Ao felt that he had lost all face.

"Outrageous! The country has its laws, how can such arrogance be tolerated? Guards, seize this trespasser who is spouting nonsense!"

As the commander of the Dragon Shadow, he was not afraid of the other party's identity as a member of the Chu family.

At worst, they'll just catch them and then release them.

Chu Kun scoffed dismissively, "A mere Dragon Shadow Commander with such a big mouth. Do you even know that your Dragon Shadow leader has to bow when entering our Chu family's door?"

Gu Ao was furious.

Although he had heard that people in the capital were always aloof and superior, he had never actually met them. He never expected that they were even more aloof than the rumors suggested.

Just then, a figure drifted down into the courtyard.

Gu Ao and Xiao Zhi rushed forward.

"Excuse me, we just went to the restroom."

Gu Ao couldn't wait to explain.

Chu Yang also knew that they were not to blame for this.

It is indeed very difficult to stop the Chu family in the capital.

"Don't worry about this. I'll handle it."

He turned to look at He Jiang.

"What are you going to do with all these people you brought here?"

He Jiang cut to the chase: "The old patriarch recovered after taking the Qi-strengthening Pill you offered. Please come with us back to the Chu family now."

Chu Yang was not surprised at all to hear this news.

He had already considered this possibility while he was in the bedroom.

After all, for someone who could move the very foundations of the nation to come to the East Sea in such a hurry to find him, this matter must be quite significant.

"So, you're going to take me back?"

Before He Jiang could speak, Chu Kun sneered twice: "We're here to take you back. Instead of repaying the Chu family's kindness in raising you, you actually poisoned the old man. Even if we had to burn you alive, it would be the will of the people! I've even found a burial plot for you!"

Chu Yang put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head, and a mocking sneer appeared on his lips.
