802: Chapter 797 You can have the stuff, I'll take the person.

Standing before her was a man in a shirt, holding a baseball bat, his face full of fierce-looking flesh.

He was the head thug of the Ye family's branch, known in the underworld as "Mad Dog."

"Where's the stuff?"

Mad Dog used the baseball bat to tilt up Su Qing's chin.

"Don't tell me you lost it; that thing is the treasure we need to blackmail the main branch."

Su Qing spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, her eyes stubborn.

"Give it up. I'd rather destroy it than give it to you."

"Stubborn."

Mad Dog sneered and raised the baseball bat high.

"You won't talk, huh? Fine, then I'll break both your legs first and see if you talk then!"

Su Qing closed her eyes.

She didn't regret sending Doudou away.

As long as the child lived, even if she died here today, it would be worth it.

That man named Shen Yan...

She hoped he would truly protect Doudou for Youyou's sake.

Just as the baseball bat was about to fall—

Boom!

The rusty iron doors of the warehouse let out a loud bang.

A modified black off-road vehicle, like an out-of-control beast, crashed through the doors and roared inside.

The blinding headlights instantly illuminated the entire warehouse.

Mad Dog instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes and cursed.

"Which blind idiot..."

Screech—!

The off-road vehicle performed a beautiful tail flick and came to a steady stop three meters in front of Su Qing.

The tires left two scorched black marks on the concrete floor, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt rubber.

The car door opened.

Chen Guangke was the first to jump out, carrying a large Wrench, followed by a dozen burly men in black uniforms.

They were the elites of Rock Technology's security department, all retired veterans.

The last one to get out of the car was Shen Yan.

He wore a black trench coat over his casual loungewear.

This extremely mismatched outfit had a strange sense of harmony on him.

He didn't look at the thugs holding weapons but walked straight to Su Qing.

"Can you still walk?"

Shen Yan's voice was very calm, as if he were asking if the weather was nice today.

Su Qing opened her eyes and looked at the man before her in disbelief.

"You... how did you get here..."

"Youyou is crying."

Shen Yan reached out, ignoring the dirt on Su Qing, and pulled her up from the ground.

"I promised her I'd bring Doudou's mother back."

"Where did this pretty boy come from? Trying to play the hero?"

Mad Dog snapped out of it, a murderous glint in his eyes as he looked at Shen Yan's group.

Although the other side had more people, he was from the Ye family of the Capital; in a small place like the Jinghai, he had always walked tall.

"Kid, do you know who we are? You dare meddle in the Ye family's business?"

Shen Yan turned around and looked at the shouting man.

He took a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped the dust he'd gotten on him when he pulled Su Qing up.

"The Ye family?"

Shen Yan chuckled softly.

"If you mean that old man Ye Zhentian, I would indeed have to show him some respect."

"But if it's just a few stray dogs like you..."

Shen Yan casually tossed the handkerchief onto the ground.

Guang Ke, clear the area."

"You got it!"

Chen Guangke had been itching to move; he swung the Wrench in his hand.

"Brothers, let's get to work! Don't kill them, just leave them with a breath of life!"

The brawl broke out instantly.

But it wasn't a contest on the same level at all.

Rock Technology's security department was something Shen Yan spent a lot of money to maintain; they weren't just responsible for company security but also for obtaining advanced wealth intelligence, and every one of them was a hardened fighter.

Meanwhile, the people Mad Dog brought were okay for bullying orphans and widows, but facing real tough guys, they were routed instantly.

In less than five minutes.

The previously arrogant Mad Dog was now being stepped on by Chen Guangke, his face bruised and swollen, without even the strength to beg for mercy.

Wails of pain filled the warehouse.

From beginning to end, Shen Yan hadn't even lifted a finger.

He stood there like an unshakeable pillar.

Looking at his back, Su Qing's heart was in turmoil.

She had always thought Shen Yan was just a wealthy businessman.

But now it seemed the secrets hidden within this man were perhaps deeper than the entire Ye family.

"Is it settled?"

Shen Yan glanced at Mad Dog on the ground.

Just then, the roar of helicopter rotors came from outside the warehouse.

The massive wind pressure made the warehouse roof rattle loudly.

Several beams of bright light descended from the sky, lighting up the warehouse like it was broad daylight.

Then, dozens of fully armed people in black filed in from outside.

A golden begonia flower emblem was embroidered on their chests.

The Ye family's main branch, the Hidden Guards.

Seeing these people, the despair in Mad Dog's eyes turned into deathly terror.

If falling into Shen Yan's hands meant a beating, falling into the Hidden Guards' hands meant a fate worse than death.

An old butler with graying hair walked out from the crowd.

He glanced at the carnage on the scene without much surprise.

Finally, his gaze fell on Shen Yan, and he bowed slightly.

"Mr. Shen, the Head of the Family sends his regards."

At this bow, the entire place fell silent.

Su Qing covered her mouth.

That was the Ye family's head butler; usually, even high-ranking officials had to be polite to him.

And now he was actually bowing to Shen Yan?

Shen Yan's expression remained unchanged as he took out the black USB drive from his pocket and tossed it over.

As if he were throwing a worthless trinket.

"The stuff is yours, I'm taking the person."

The old butler caught the USB drive steadily, a flash of admiration in his eyes.

"Mr. Shen truly keeps his promises."

"The Head of the Family also has a message for me to give you."

The old butler paused and glanced at Su Qing.

"Since the Eldest Miss doesn't want to return to the Capital, then we must trouble Mr. Shen to take care of her. The Ye family owes you a favor."

This was an acknowledgment.

An acknowledgment of Su Qing staying in the Jinghai, and an acknowledgment of Shen Yan's status as her protector.

From now on, as long as Shen Yan was there, the people from the Ye family's branch would never dare set foot in the Jinghai again.

"Fair enough."

Shen Yan waved his hand and turned to walk out.

"Let's go, home."

Su Qing froze in place, her tears finally flowing uncontrollably.

She knew that her life of wandering and fleeing had finally come to an end.

In the car.

Shen Yan leaned back in the seat with his eyes closed, resting.

Su Qing sat beside him, her hands tightly clutching her slightly deformed mask.

"Thank you..."

Her voice was very soft, thick with emotion.

"No need to thank me."

Shen Yan didn't open his eyes.

"I'm doing business. I made a profit on this deal."

A favor from Ye Zhentian was an amulet that no amount of money could buy.

With this connection, his plans in the Capital would proceed without hindrance.

Not to mention...

[Ding!]

[Mission: Save the Black Begonia (Finale) Completed.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have received a reward: advanced wealth intelligence * 2.]

The corners of Shen Yan's mouth curled up slightly.

The car drove smoothly into the villa district.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

The lights in the villa were still on.
