380: Chapter 380 Deep Father-Daughter Bond

As soon as Yang Zhixiao said this, everyone present, except for Yang Yujie who knew nothing, subconsciously covered their foreheads. Even the four sisters, including Zou Rushuang, did the same.

Shi Xiaoya whispered, "Is this guy an idiot? Doesn't he know how Zhang Dahai died?"

Liu Jing merely let out a soft huff, but her jade-white palm rested directly on the hilt of her blade, clearly showing her intent to kill.

Han Jingyang also found it somewhat amusing.

Where did this guy named Yang get the guts to threaten him?

And to threaten him with his family, no less.

Is he not afraid of following in Zhang Dahai's footsteps?

Or is he confident that he can withstand his counterattack?

Or perhaps... he really knows nothing, and it's purely a case of ignorance being fearless?

Could it be that the reason he wiped out Zhang Dahai's entire family hasn't spread yet?

This is interesting.

Then, Han Jingyang felt angry again.

These people threatened him with his family at every turn; this only angered him and would only make him retaliate even more crazily.

He was just saving a person; how had he offended them? They came to cause trouble again and again, endlessly. What did they take him, Han Jingyang, for? What did they take his Jiguang Zhai for?

How many people must he kill before these bastards who threaten him at every turn learn what it means to show respect?

Damn!

Han Jingyang's intent to kill flared up immediately.

He must kill that bastard named Yang Zhixiao.

Must! With his own hands!

Thinking this, he chuckled and said, "Boss Yang, do you know who the last person to threaten me with my family was?"

"Who?" Yang Zhixiao asked subconsciously.

Han Jingyang lightly spat out three words: "Zhang Dahai."

"Impossible," Yang Zhixiao blurted out in denial.

Han Jingyang sneered, "Whether you believe it or not is unimportant. I will make you believe it. Yang Zhixiao, right? Just you wait, I will let you know the consequences of threatening me with my family."

He paused for a moment and added, "Also, the more you try to stop something, the more I will do it. I am determined to save Yang Zhizhong; no one can stop me. If you are not satisfied, come to Jiguang Zhai, and we can have a proper showdown."

After saying this, he hung up the phone directly.

He turned his head and gave the young girl, Yang Yujie, a big smile: "See that? For the two of you, father and daughter, I have paid a heavy price. You must not let me make a loss."

After speaking, he activated his skill directly.

This time, no one disturbed him.

It was activated successfully.

Green energy surged out, condensing into the shape of Yang Zhizhong. It circled Yang Zhizhong's body twice, then sat back onto his body and lay down in alignment.

A few seconds later, Yang Zhizhong slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Han Jingyang and his daughter, he stood up and hopped twice: "Mr. Han, this is…"

Han Jingyang shrugged: "You should thank your good daughter. If it weren't for her…"

Yang Yujie quickly stepped forward to interrupt Han Jingyang: "Dad, how, how are you feeling?"

Yang Zhizhong stroked his daughter's cheek with a doting face and said softly: "I feel great. Mr. Han's skills are very profound. By the way, how did you get Mr. Han to take action?"

"I, I begged him. I just kowtowed; I wouldn't get up until he agreed, and I kept kowtowing until he was truly impatient."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes," Yang Yujie secretly looked at Han Jingyang, her pure eyes filled with pleading.

Han Jingyang's heart softened, and he chuckled: "Old Yang, to tell you the truth, I originally didn't intend to save you, but two reasons made me change my mind."

"What are they?"

"First, the deep bond between you two as father and daughter, both willing to make the greatest sacrifices for each other, suits my taste. You are not a good person, but this point is truly impeccable. I think all children in the world hope to have a father like you, and likewise, you must be proud to have such an outstanding daughter."

"And the second?"

"The second is that your precious brother made me angry. He didn't want me to save you. Well, I insist on doing the opposite; I am going to save you, just to make him uncomfortable. Not only will I make him uncomfortable, but I will also deal with him. Old Yang, don't be reluctant when the time comes."

Yang Zhizhong said without hesitation: "No, I will absolutely not stop you. Not only will I not stop you, but I will provide as much help as possible. Mr. Han, if you have any requests, feel free to make them; I will do my utmost to satisfy them."

Han Jingyang smiled: "Let's stop here for today. You should go and attend to your business. However, be careful and never let the killer find another opportunity. If you suffer such injuries again, I will truly be powerless; I will have no way to help and can only watch you slowly die. Do you understand?"

"Then what should I do?"

"It's not like there's no way."

"Mr. Han, tell me."

"A protective amulet, which is a defensive dharma instrument," Han Jingyang said as he took out the shattered Hetian jade peace buckle: "It's this kind. Just now, I blocked seven or eight bullets and several knife slashes for you, and I myself remained completely unharmed."

"What?" Yang Zhizhong was stunned: "What bullets?"

At this moment, Yang Yujie whispered and explained what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhizhong pulled his daughter to kneel down again: "Mr. Han, thank you for saving my life. Time and time again, I owe you too much and truly have no way to repay you. From now on, I, Yang Zhizhong, am your pawn. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do it without hesitation. Even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of fire, I, Yang Zhizhong, will never frown."

When Yang Yujie heard her father's words, her face instantly turned red, because what she had said earlier was almost exactly the same as her father's.

Han Jingyang also felt a bit awkward and hurriedly helped Yang Zhizhong up: "In the future, there is no need to say such things. I am a person who always listens to words and observes actions. Just talking is useless; doing is what matters, because I have seen too many people who say a lot of nice things but are nowhere to be found when trouble arises."

Yang Zhizhong nodded heavily: "Mr. Han, rest assured. I, Yang Zhizhong, may not be a good person, but I have always kept my word; when I say something, it sticks. I never renege on what I have promised."

Han Jingyang smiled: "Then do you want to buy one or two defensive items?"

"Buy!"

"How many?"

"Four. Two for me and two for my daughter."

Han Jingyang coughed: "Do you think dharma instruments are cabbages on the side of the road, available in any quantity you want?"

"Ah? Then, two?"

"How about this: Yujie is quite safe by my side. You take care of yourself first. Once you deal with your unlucky brother, she will be safe too. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Yang Zhizhong thought for a moment, then took his daughter's hand and earnestly urged: "Yujie, be obedient. You must stay by Mr. Han's side and never, ever run around. Do you understand?"

Yang Yujie nodded heavily, but her eyes flickered, not daring to meet her father's gaze. She was afraid that her father would discover the truth from her eyes; she did not want her father to know that she had sold herself to Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang found a jade plaque from the counter in the back room.

Old Hetian jade.

Early Ming Dynasty craftsmanship.

The jade quality was average, but the carving was good, with a market value of around 200,000.

The front was carved with a baring-fangs-and-claws Chi dragon; the carving was rugged and imposing, with simple and refreshing knife techniques, having a bit of the "Han Eight Cuts" style.

The back was carved with regular script poetry using the relief carving technique — "Auspiciousness rises from the jade dragon armor, celebration extends to the purple pivot wall."

This is a verse from a "Shui Diao Ge Tou" by Liao Xingzhi of the Song Dynasty.

This was one of the many spoils of war he had seized.

It was originally inconspicuous, but after identification, its attributes were quite good. Although it had no skills, it was very practical, so he had placed it in the safe in the back room rather than leaving it on the counter for casual sale.
