Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 89: Where Else Can We Go?

As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, the atmosphere froze instantly, and everyone's expressions were quite remarkable.

Liuyun and An Zaihuan both doubted whether they had misheard. Then, An Zaihuan's anger surged again, while Liuyun narrowed his eyes, a hint of inscrutable light flashing through them.

But the most excited of all was Anxin. Overwhelmed with joy, tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks!

He was still that knight! The one who would charge through any obstacle for her sake!

To hell with reputation! To hell with money! To hell with keeping silent!

What's done is done! There's nothing that can't be said or shouldn't be said!

This man, smoking that cheap and irritating cigarette, looking rather average, a man she had only known for less than a day, had defended her shaky dignity with his own reputation for her absurd plan!

"Yang Chen, I love you to death!"

Like going from hell to heaven, Anxin happily threw herself into Yang Chen's arms, wrapping her hands around his neck. She didn't even care that Yang Chen had just smoked; she fiercely kissed his lips.

Even if her father, fiancé, and bodyguards were all watching, so what?!

Get lost, all of you! I want to kiss this man!

Yang Chen was a bit embarrassed. Nowadays, girls were so innocent. Acting like a rogue might be considered handsome in their eyes. And now, receiving kisses in front of her father and fiancé... well, the feeling of superiority wasn't too bad.

Especially considering Liuyun, who was young, wealthy, and even better-looking than himself. But in the end, whose arms did his woman rush into?

"Um... Anxin, your... don't bite my tongue..." Yang Chen mumbled.

Anxin, unable to control her emotions, left kisses all over Yang Chen's mouth, face, and even his neck before reluctantly pulling away, gazing at Yang Chen with eyes full of gratitude.

An Zaihuan, already on the verge of passing out from anger, almost spat out blood when he saw his daughter being affectionate with a wild man right in front of him. Trembling, he stared at the two of them, unable to utter a word, only gasping for air.

Liuyun's face remained as calm as water, but he still advised An Zaihuan not to get too worked up to avoid harming himself. After calming him down, he gracefully turned to Yang Chen and said seriously, "Mr. Yang, it seems you're unwilling to cooperate."

Yang Chen chuckled. "Well... it's not that I'm unwilling to cooperate. It's just that I have a habit of not lying with my eyes open, especially in serious matters. People should have integrity, and one should never disregard a girl's virtue. I believe Young Master Liu, if he truly loves Anxin, should understand this principle."

"If I didn't truly love her, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to help her cover it up."

Yang Chen shook his head, his expression turning serious for the first time. "What are you covering up? You're not just covering up for her; you're covering up her dignity. If you truly love her, you should love everything about her and accept it openly, instead of trying to hide the truth. Unless... you only love her physical body and not everything else about Anxin."

"Mr. Yang, spare me your absurd remarks. Don't doubt my sincerity towards my fiancée," Liuyun's expression turned ugly.

Anxin, however, couldn't hide her overwhelming emotion. The tears she had just wiped away were threatening to spill again. She pouted and lightly slapped Yang Chen's chest. "Hmph, always saying things that make people want to cry. Do you want me to stay with you?"

"Well, it's not very appropriate in broad daylight," Yang Chen awkwardly chuckled, speaking nothing but the truth.

Seeing the two of them flirting shamelessly as if no one else were present was hard for Liuyun to endure, no matter how well-mannered he was. He narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Yang, please show some restraint. Anxin is still my fiancée, and I won't change my decision to marry her! If you hope to witness our wedding ceremony without any trouble, then it's best not to entangle my fiancée any further!"

Hearing this somewhat threatening remark, Yang Chen couldn't help feeling annoyed. He sneered, "How I interact with my little sweetheart is my own business. As for whether I'll get to see you and Anxin get married, that depends on whether Anxin is willing to marry you. That's a matter worth discussing."

An Zaihuan, finally catching his breath, couldn't contain his rage any longer and shouted loudly, "You beast with the courage of a bear and the heart of a leopard! Who do you think you are?! Do you think that just because this stinky girl protects you, we can't touch you? As long as I, An Zaihuan, still have breath in me, I will never let you, this despicable scoundrel, have a good day! Do you believe I'll have someone beat you up right now?!"

"No, you can't hurt him!" Anxin, seeing her father genuinely considering violence, quickly spread her arms to protect Yang Chen. Her heart was filled with guilt and gratitude towards him at this moment. How could she care about anything else?!

Yang Chen sneered as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He gently but irresistibly pulled Anxin behind him and took a few steps forward, facing An Zaihuan and Liuyun. "I've been a bit short on money lately, don't have as many people under me as you do, and my car isn't as fancy as yours... But that doesn't mean I'll let you bully me. I also don't rely on women to shield me from the wind. Face is earned with one's own hands, not through lip service."

Here, Yang Chen's face darkened terrifyingly, and his penetrating gaze made both An Zaihuan and Liuyun feel uncomfortable.

"Old man, let me tell you, I hate being threatened the most. I, Yang Chen, am standing here today in front of you, having been with your daughter, and I'm quite happy about it! Your daughter is also very happy! Maybe in a few days, I'll even have your daughter give birth to my son! What can you do to me?! What do you want to do?!"

"You... you... I..." Hearing such coarse and blunt words, An Zaihuan's eyes rolled back, and he passed out from anger before he could finish his sentence.

Several bodyguards hurriedly rushed to support him and carried him back to the car.

Upon hearing Yang Chen's unabashed words, Anxin's cheeks flushed red. She was surprised that she wasn't angry, but rather felt sweet inside. Watching Yang Chen standing there, not very tall but exuding a sense of safety and stability like a mountain, gave her an unexpected feeling.

Liuyun, however, had been pushed to the limit of his patience. No one had ever dared to provoke him so openly in his presence. With a cold smile on his lips, he said, "Mr. Yang, you will regret your rude behavior."

"Regret your sister!" As Yang Chen spoke, he suddenly lunged forward, his hand like a lightning bolt, grabbing Liuyun by the neck!

"Young Master!"

Several bodyguards barely had time to react before they saw Yang Chen grab Liu Yun by the neck, restraining the most lethal part of his body! "Let go of our young master!" Several bodyguards shouted angrily, but they dared not make any rash moves because they saw the vigorous anger, even... the murderous intent in Yang Chen's eyes! Liu Yun, being caught, tried to fight back with punches and kicks to make Yang Chen let go, but his strength gained from daily physical exercise was no match for Yang Chen's. Several punches and kicks on Yang Chen's body were completely useless, like scratching an itch. Yang Chen sneered, and with a slight exertion of force, he grabbed Liu Yun's neck, lifting his entire body of over a hundred pounds with one hand, effortlessly, as if he were holding a doll. "You... let go of our young master!" The bodyguards were anxious, but they dared not underestimate the strength of this powerful man. If he exerted force and broke Liu Yun's neck, after all, those who had no shoes were afraid of those with shoes, and they wouldn't be able to escape. Liu Yun could hardly breathe, his face flushed, and he began to struggle desperately, but he couldn't break free from Yang Chen's iron-like grip. Yang Chen casually said, "Let's talk nicely. If you want to be angry, be angry; if you want to scold me, scold me. I'm a big person, but threatening me is not right..." After that, he turned to Anxin, who was already in a dazed state, and asked, "Anxin, sweetheart, do you want me to strangle him?" Anxin shuddered all over, just realizing what had happened in front of her, amazed by Yang Chen's unpredictable speed and immense strength at the same time, and hurriedly exclaimed, "No! Don't kill him, Yang Chen, please let him go!" "For the sake of Anxin, I'll let you go," Yang Chen said, releasing his grip on Liu Yun. Liu Yun coughed violently as he fell to the ground, his face flushed, with a hint of fear as he retreated into the group of bodyguards, gasping for breath. "Your life was saved by Anxin, so you'd better not make things difficult for her. Otherwise, next time I won't let go of your neck so easily. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now." After saying that, Yang Chen smiled at Anxin and winked before turning to leave. Liu Yun and the bodyguards' expressions changed several times, but in the end, they didn't muster the courage to stop him. Anxin felt reluctant, but she knew it was not the time to cling to Yang Chen anymore. Moreover, things had reached this point, and Yang Chen had already done too much for her. She had to face everything on her own from now on, just like Yang Chen said, she also had her dignity! Grateful to Yang Chen, Anxin watched him leave and then tidied herself up before walking towards the Mercedes-Benz. "Anxin, where are you going?" Liu Yun asked in a deep voice, unwilling to let this woman out of his sight. Anxin chuckled, not bothering to look at him, "Where else can I go? Home." With that, she voluntarily got into the car. Various complex emotions flashed across Liu Yun's dark face, and in the end, he murmured in a voice only he could hear, "It's mine, and no one can take it away..."
