380: The murderous intent directed at Si Yang
To be able to treat everyone equally, one must do their best.
In the past, he never imagined that one day his life would be like this.
So it's true that one's fortune is unpredictable; no one knows what will happen in the future.
He once thought he could spend a lifetime with Liao Ru Shuang.
Later, he felt that being with Liu Mingyi like this was also not bad.
And the result?
He had women in Yancheng and in Zhonghai.
A single week wasn't enough to visit them all in rotation.
He decided to leave on a whim, returning to Yancheng to see the Little Thing and then visit Li Jianian.
That Old thing from the Rong Family was like that; he hadn't even come to take a look at the Little fellow he used to hold in the palm of his hand recently.
Although the child lacked for nothing, it was undeniable that Mu Nancen's child better met his expectations and suited his taste.
The Lei Family probably didn't know yet; of course, the Lei Family wouldn't want any involvement with Mu Nancen's child.
So, look! It's better not to acknowledge them; once acknowledged, these matters become inextricably linked and chaotic.
Regarding Si Yang's return to Yancheng, none of the women tried to make him stay.
This was only right. Could he stay in Zhonghai with them all day and ignore Yancheng?
That was the woman who had borne his child.
Women are very contradictory; they hope a man will be heartless toward others.
Yet they also hope he will be devoted to them.
It was already dusk when he arrived back in Yancheng.
There was a burst of laughter in the living room; Shen Qingqian was actually there too.
Seeing Si Yang return, her pretty face flushed slightly, and her gaze was gentle.
Li Jianian greeted Si Yang, "You're back," she said softly!
"Mm," Si Yang nodded. Li Jianian seemed truly content, guarding the child and this home, as long as Si Yang returned occasionally.
She communicated with Ye Mengwan, but she never acted out of jealousy.
This state was quite good; Si Yang didn't want to force all the women to gather together.
With different personalities, conflicts would always erupt.
So, he also gave Shen Leyu and Mu Xiaorou their freedom.
As for the 'dungeons,' starting them was quite difficult.
He had only cleared the dungeons of Wu Qian and Liu Mingyi.
One knew a lot, and the other was able to let things go.
"Look, our son is learning to crawl, but he keeps going backward and is crying out in frustration." Li Jianian pointed at the Little fellow, laughing uncontrollably.
Si Yang took a look, and it was true. The Little fellow was so well-nourished that he looked like a little ball; with his round belly pressed against the floor, he didn't know how to use his strength. The harder he tried, the more he moved backward.
Right now, he was very irritable.
Looking at Si Yang, the Little fellow's dark, round eyes watched him, a smear of crystal-clear drool hanging from his pink lips.
"Look at how fat you are," Si Yang poked the Little fellow. "You're going to be clumsy to death."
Lei Man pushed Si Yang aside with annoyance.
"It's better if you don't come back; you just tease him when you do. Do you expect the child to like you when he grows up?" Lei Man said grumpily!
She pampered her grandson unconditionally and wouldn't allow anyone to say a negative word about him, even when facing Old Master Rong, Lei Man would say whatever she needed to say.
But at this moment, watching Si Yang as he let the Little fellow gnaw on his finger, Lei Man was suddenly dazed; this figure looked so much like him.
Si Yang smiled and glanced at Shen Qingqian, "Nothing to do today?"
"Mm, just came over to take a look," Shen Qingqian said softly!
Si Yang chuckled and turned to go out to the courtyard. Shen Qingqian hesitated for a moment and then followed him out.
"Do you not like children?" Shen Qingqian asked Si Yang softly.
"Who said that?" Si Yang asked back.
"It's not that anyone said it, it's just a feeling. When you look at him, it's just a glance, as if you're just going through the motions," Shen Qingqian said in a low voice.
Si Yang couldn't help but be speechless; he hadn't expected to give people such a false impression.
"Actually, it's not that I don't like him. How should I put it? Too many people pamper him, and they generally feel that I'm unreliable."
"So it's best to stay a bit further away," Si Yang said helplessly!
Shen Qingqian couldn't help but smile.
"Then can't you be a bit more reliable?" Shen Qingqian said softly.
"Actually, over-pampering a child isn't a good thing. They need to be toughened up to be stronger. Just like when I was little, I was often beaten," Si Yang smiled.
"Simpleton, are you causing trouble again?" The old man's voice seemed to be from just yesterday.
"Actually, if a child is over-pampered, they won't be independent enough. But if they're neglected too much, they'll become too independent, to the point where family ties become thin. The balance is hard to strike."
"Education has been a difficult problem since ancient times."
"A person's character should truly take shape when they face society independently," Si Yang smiled, feeling a strange sense of sentimentality.
It seemed he really was getting older, as he occasionally had these inexplicable reflections.
Shen Qingqian looked at Si Yang with a beaming smile, her eyes filled with a touch of admiration. "I used to think you had a detached personality, but you're actually more insightful than anyone."
"Haha," Si Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.
"Insightful?"
"I do have some understanding of that," Si Yang said with a serious face!
Hearing this, Shen Qingqian gave Si Yang a sharp glare. "I'm talking to you seriously, and you're making dirty jokes."
Si Yang laughed and pulled Shen Qingqian over. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her cool temperament gave off a fatal temptation.
The women around him were all beautiful and each was unique.
"Don't mess around, go find Jianian. You just got back, I can't hog you all to myself," Shen Qingqian said in a low voice.
"Who taught you this logic?" Si Yang was caught between laughter and tears.
"In my heart, you are all the same," Si Yang said softly!
These words warmed Shen Qingqian's heart, but then her beautiful eyes looked at Si Yang gloomily. "Except for Ye Mengwan, right?"
Si Yang was speechless but didn't explain.
Shen Qingqian smiled; she wasn't jealous, just curious about what kind of woman Ye Mengwan was to make someone like Si Yang so devoted.
Si Yang didn't know Shen Qingqian's thoughts; if he did, he would certainly be speechless.
Ultimately, he wasn't any good.
No matter how many reasons he had or how grandly he spoke, it couldn't change the fact that he was promiscuous.
Sometimes, there's no need to force a defense for oneself.
Others won't listen to what you're thinking; they'll look at what you've done.
Shen Qingqian brewed a pot of tea for Si Yang; Li Jianian usually just brought over beer.
But Shen Qingqian was very stubborn; she felt that drinking alcohol all the time wasn't good and that drinking tea was better.
So that's what she did.
People are all different from one another.
That night, Si Yang stayed with Li Jianian.
Shen Qingqian left after seven o'clock.
She was very tactful.
Si Yang appeared very calm about this.
He didn't stop her, nor did he think about trying to prove anything forcefully.
In this life, the more deliberately you do certain things, the more it proves how much you care.
These past two days had been very comfortable. Shen Qingqian had visited, and Jiayin had also returned.
Although she spent most of her time in Zhonghai, Jiayin never disturbed Si Yang.
Unless Si Yang went to find her.
However, the last time he looked for her, it went without saying how much manpower and resources were consumed.
President Feng now didn't even dare to look up when he saw her.
With the people in the company gossiping, President Feng was really about to cry.
Fortunately, Si Yang didn't care; if he had taken it to heart, even if nothing happened, it wouldn't stop him from feeling disgusted.
With a flick of his finger, he could probably stop his life's work in its tracks.
Usually, Jiayin and Shen Qingqian both stayed here.
With Si Yang around, they would be even less likely to leave.
However, Si Yang only stayed here for three days before he had to leave in a hurry.
He went to Zhonghai but didn't go home.
Anything you do can have hidden dangers, and the consequences from before had arrived.
He should have considered this when he killed those people.
Si Yang didn't want to get involved in certain things; some things, once done, would solve the problem once and for all. Ultimately, he didn't like trouble.
But those big families are deeply entrenched; how could it be so easy to settle things once and for all?
This was also why Si Yang kept them at a distance.
But the battle with the Caesar Family in the West had still exposed him. Never doubt the capabilities of those great families.
They penetrate every aspect, and sometimes their power is even more terrifying than that of a small country.
From the emergence of commercial derivatives to their continuous refinement and protection in this era, it is the circulation of goods, but also the communication of intelligence.
Those great families all possess immense wealth.
Originally, Mu Nancen wanted to intercept the enemies outside of Great Xia, not wanting them to disturb him, but unfortunately, some guys are impossible to stop.
The Mercenary King, Chers.
The top assassin of the Dark Night Organization, Tis.
The former is a myth in the mercenary world, with a resounding reputation.
The latter is the ace of the Dark Night Organization, having never failed a mission since his debut.
Si Yang had heard of their reputations, but he had never crossed paths with them.
Once people like them clash, inevitably only one can survive.
Kings do not meet.
As for Mu Nancen, Si Yang had no intention of blaming her; this woman had clearly done her best.
Some people simply cannot be stopped.
Besides, since they were coming for him, there was no reason for Mu Nancen to bear it all.
The grudge might have originated because of Mu Nancen, but he was the one who did the deed.
A God of Assassins who had never failed.
One was a mercenary myth. Si Yang didn't feel much fear; instead, he was a bit excited.
He never feared a challenge from anyone.
They were myths, but Si Yang was also a myth in the hearts of many.
Si Yang was not one to be content with a quiet life.
It was just that he had always been pursuing something.
Heizi's figure appeared before Si Yang. In fact, no one understood Si Yang better than Heizi; a man who said the greatest romance for a man was to die for his country—how could his nature be one to stay quiet?
"I'll take a trip. Great Xia doesn't allow such arrogant people to exist. What mercenary myth, what king of assassins? It's all bullshit." Heizi looked disdainful.
In his eyes, only Si Yang was the most powerful.
And Heizi himself was in charge of the external department.
People like them wouldn't easily take action unless it was a major event. Most of the time they were focused externally; internally, their methods were not suitable.
"There's no need for unnecessary casualties. Let them in; it's a good chance for me to find my touch again," Si Yang said with a light laugh!
Heizi looked at Si Yang in surprise, then smiled in realization. This was very Si Yang.
Finding his touch... if those two heard that, who knows how they would feel.
The Rong Family!
The old man looked at the babbling, toddling little baby before him, his eyes full of smiles.
After the nanny took the child away, the old man immediately smashed the snuff bottle he was playing with onto the ground.
Rong Xiuzhu fell to his knees with a thud.
"Target the Caesar Family's businesses at all costs. Every core member of the Violet Family—I want them to appear on the bounty list."
"Put the Rong Family's connections from all these years on the line. Send out the Internal Guards."
"Start the assassinations; I want them to use any means necessary."
"If they want to touch my grandson, they have to go through me first," Old Master Rong said coldly!
After the old man vented his anger, he gave Rong Xiuzhu a cold look.
Rong Xiuzhu lowered his head, not daring to look up.
This iron-blooded and stubborn old man only showed warmth occasionally when facing Si Yang and the two babies; toward anyone else, he was harsh and conservative.
His son was no different from a subordinate.
Even a smile was rare.
"I understand," Rong Xiuzhu nodded gently.
"You go there!"
"He is just one person after all. Although he's in Great Xia, with his personality, he won't pass his personal grudges onto others."
"Thunder Tiger is too conservative."
"I approve of his integrity, but I don't like his character," Old Master Rong said, looking at Rong Xiudao!
"Yes!" Rong Xiudao nodded gently.
As the old man watched Rong Xiudao leave, a rare look of sighing appeared on his aged face.
"Even making a move to test your own grandson... Thunder Tiger, oh Thunder Tiger, you really are impartial and selfless."
Although he was away, it didn't mean he wasn't paying attention.
He watched many things from the sidelines.
He knew better than anyone.
But he wouldn't warn Si Yang. Whatever his grandson did was right, and even if he was wrong, he had the ability to correct it.
He would just treat it as a test.
In comparison, the attention from these people abroad was what caused headaches.
Mainly because Si Yang didn't do things by the book.
The word 'gambit' didn't exist in his heart.
Or perhaps it did, but with the prefix 'life and death'.
Only a gambit between life and death.
Too extreme, and too dangerous.
But regardless, Si Yang was his grandson.
That point alone was enough.
Heizi still left. Having once been on Paradise Island, he knew what kind of opponents Si Yang was going to face this time, and he didn't dare to be careless.
At the very least, he had to keep track of the enemy's movements.
In Northern Europe, a place covered in snow all year round, a figure crawled out from the ice and snow.
His entire body was bathed in the piercing sunlight. After being frozen, his hideous scars appeared even more terrifying.
After months of moving from place to place, he had finally escaped death on this icy plain.
"Si Yang, it's time to avenge my Huangfu Family." The man was bare-chested as he looked at the sky.
His name was Huangfu Feiyang, and he was the biological grandson of the Huangfu Family's head.
He had come to the West early on.
Si Yang hadn't taken him to heart, but with the intention of pulling up the roots, Heaven Gate and the Rong Family had immediately launched a pursuit against him.
On the underground bounty list, Huangfu Feiyang's bounty was second only to Si Yang's.
He was a freak, a total freak.
A freak who had come to Europe alone to carve out a path, moving through the underground world, rising from the black market boxing rings, killing countless experts on the Black List, and surviving a clash with the number one on the Black List.
A guy who had played with the eldest young lady of the Linglan Family's direct line and was being hunted across the world.
He grew stronger when facing strong opponents.
A freak who stirred up trouble all over the world.
Yet, every time, this guy could tenaciously survive.
He had been pursued by Heaven Gate and the Rong Family for a long time, but he still miraculously survived.
After all, Heaven Gate and the Rong Family had much of their strength tied up elsewhere.
So he had a chance to breathe.
