17: Hold Lin Yue hostage to command the Immortal Emperor! Hold Xian'er hostage to command the Dragon King! Hold Fang Nian hostage to command the God of War!

The God of War put down his phone and said helplessly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh!"

"Hahaha!"

"Boss, please forgive my rudeness!"

"I'm dying of laughter!"

"Gagaga!"

The four men burst into wild laughter.

The God of War shook his head, then suddenly paused, as if remembering something, "Wait, check this number!"

"Boss, it's just a wrong number, is it really necessary?"

Azure Dragon said, laughing heartily.

The God of War's expression was solemn as he shook his head, "Stop laughing. Our phone number has thirteen digits!"

At these words, Azure Dragon and the others' laughter abruptly stopped.

Yes, a thirteen-digit number.

Even if it was a wrong number, it shouldn't be so far off.

If it was a wrong number, at most one extra digit would be pressed.

How could there be two extra?

Moreover, if extra digits were pressed, it usually wouldn't go through or would prompt for a number inquiry. How could it be such a coincidence to call the God of War's phone?

The phone rang again.

The God of War's eyes narrowed; it was the same number as before.

He picked up the phone and answered.

"Pfft, scumbag!"

Zhou Yang's voice came through again.

God of War: "..."

He said with a heavy tone, "Who exactly are you?"

"Who am I? If you have the guts, come investigate me, you scumbag!"

Zhou Yang's tone seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

The God of War clenched his fists tightly.

Good, very good!

Man, you have successfully caught my attention.

"scumbag, if you have the guts, come find me."

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because of a thirteen-digit phone number!"

"scumbag, pfft!"

The call ended.

The God of War's anger flared, and he roared, "Go investigate!"

"Yes!"

The four great generals quickly stood up, turned, and rushed out.

"Very good, you wait!" A hint of killing intent flashed in the God of War's eyes.

Could it be that there's a problem in the upper echelons, and my phone number was deliberately leaked?

Traitors... no mercy!

At the Zhou Family Villa.

Zhou Yang hung up the phone and patted his chest.

"Whew~~"

"Calling the God of War and teasing him, I feel a tiny bit scared!"

Zhou Yang smiled radiantly, "Look at me, Zhou Yang, holding Lin Yue to command the Immortal Emperor!"

"Holding Yan Xian'er to command the Dragon King!"

"Holding Fang Nian to command the God of War!"

"Holding Senior Sister... forget it, Ye Chen doesn't need to be managed! He's just a healer!"

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and turned to walk towards his room.

The next morning, everyone finished their meal.

Uncle Yang took out his phone and called the principals of Modu University and the Affiliated Middle School to request leave for Lin Feng and Lin Yue.

Lin Feng went out to run errands with him.

Lin Yue accompanied Fang Nian.

Ye Chen... guarded them.

Zhou Yang picked a Bugatti Veyron from the garage and sped out with a kick of the accelerator.

Lin Feng and Uncle Yang got into the Ferrari.

As for the two damaged cars... they'll be dealt with later, after they return... "Chu Lingtian... if I tear your mouth when you smirk..."

"Could that interrupt your Dragon King's return spell?"

Zhou Yang was a little curious.

At the Yan Family.

Many people came to the Yan Family, carrying gifts, as Old Madam Yan's eightieth birthday had arrived.

"Ling Tian..."

Yan Xian'er was a bit anxious, looking at the calm Chu Lingtian beside her, she frowned and said, "Is Grandma's gift ready?"

"Don't worry!"

Chu Lingtian's expression was calm, yet he exuded an inexplicable confidence.

The three-year agreement has arrived. I... should return to my rightful place.

"You mustn't just prepare some ordinary gift."

Yan Xian'er pulled him, saying prettily, "I gave you a million to buy a gift. How much did you spend?"

Chu Lingtian laughed heartily, "Xian'er, it's a secret!"

"Hmph!"

Yan Xian'er pouted, "You're even keeping it from me."

Chu Lingtian ruffled Yan Xian'er's head, "Don't worry, you definitely won't be disappointed."

"Chu Lingtian!"

A middle-aged woman walked out from the side and immediately shouted, "Guests have arrived, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and do chores!"

"Mom!"

Yan Xian'er quickly said, "It's Grandma's birthday, you can't be like this."

"What can't I be like?"

Yan Mother poked Chu Lingtian's forehead with a finger, "This good-for-nothing, does he even deserve to sit at the table? Hurry up and do your work!"

"If I'm happy, maybe I'll let you sit at the table and eat a bite!"

Yan Mother sneered, "Useless!"

Chu Lingtian: "..."

It's a good thing I don't have heavenly eyes, otherwise, they would have been poked out these past three years.

Today, I will open all your eyes!

I, the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall!

Today, I will... "Hurry up and go!"

Yan Mother slapped Chu Lingtian's head, "Useless, good-for-nothing, trash!"

Chu Lingtian: "..."

He silently turned, "Mom, don't be angry, I'll go right away."

Chu Lingtian gave Yan Xian'er a look and quickly left.

"Hmph!"

Yan Mother snorted proudly, then looked at Yan Xian'er and said, "Xian'er, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but Young Master Feng of the Feng Family is so good to you, he doesn't mind that you're married."

"Isn't he much better than this good-for-nothing?"

"Why won't you divorce?"

Yan Mother looked exasperated.

"Mom, stop talking. In this life, I am Ling Tian's person in life, and Ling Tian's ghost in death. There's no need to talk about divorce anymore!"

Yan Xian'er said, "Mom, you should also try to accept Ling Tian!"

"Pfft, that little beast, does he deserve my acceptance?"

Yan Mother sneered, "Xian'er, let me tell you, after this is over, you'll have to divorce whether you want to or not!"

"That good-for-nothing should have left long ago!"

"Xian'er, I'm doing this all for your own good!"

Yan Mother said earnestly.

Yan Xian'er suddenly laughed.

For my own good, it's always been for my own good.

But do you know what I want?

You don't know!

You just want to use me as a tool for marriage alliance, to unite our Yan Family with the Feng Family.

The Yan Family's funds were tight before, and one misstep could have led to a broken capital chain and bankruptcy.

You wanted me to marry Feng Jingming to bring funds to the Yan Family.

But the Young Master of the Zhou Family has already partnered with us.

Our Yan Family has survived!

Why are you still forcing me?

In your eyes, I am just an expendable person, just a tool to bring benefits to your Yan Family.

Grandpa, I miss you!

Yan Xian'er thought of her grandfather, who was in heaven, and felt a little down.

As time passed, more and more people arrived.

It was also time for gift-giving.

Old Madam Yan, with her white hair, smiled kindly at everyone.

"Feng Jingming of the Feng Family, presents a pair of Imperial Green Jade Ruyi scepters, Ruyi, signifying joy! Plus a contract worth five billion!"

Everyone looked over.

Young Master Feng of the Feng Family clearly coveted Yan Xian'er.

Some people said that Yan Xian'er was married and not worthy of him.

But Young Master Feng of the Feng Family once said... married is good, married is even better!

Do you understand what Jian'an style and Wei Wu's legacy mean?

I just like married women.

"Young Master Feng, you're too kind!"

Old Madam Yan chuckled.

"Oh, Young Master Feng!"

Yan Mother excitedly grabbed his hand, "Come, come, Xian'er, come over quickly and greet Young Master Feng!"

Feng Jingming looked at Yan Xian'er, showing a greasy smile like an overbearing CEO.

Yan Xian'er: "..."

You're so greasy, do your family know?

Please stop smiling, I'm afraid... I'll vomit!
