35: Chapter 35 Memories Emerge
Soon, a Volkswagen stopped beside the four of them. A middle-aged man in a suit and glasses stepped out from the passenger seat.
"Young Master Xi, Miss, I apologize for the delay due to traffic. Please, get in the car quickly."
"Uncle Lin!"
Xi Yakui replied, then said goodbye to An Miaomiao and Yang Shiguang before getting straight into the car.
Xi Wang, on the other hand, swaggered over to the middle-aged man and pointed at the Suzuki K9 flipped over in the grass.
"Old Lin, sorry to trouble you. Hehe, could you see if you can get someone to help me tow the car back for repairs?"
The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile upon hearing this:
"Young Master Xi, stop worrying about the car for now. You'd better think about how you're going to explain this to the Boss when we get back. You even got Miss injured, you…"
Xi Wang could only get in the car helplessly upon hearing this. Just as he opened the door, he turned back to look at Yang Shiguang.
"Shiguang, thanks. You saved me. If you need help in the future, call me, or you can just look for Old Lin directly."
The middle-aged man immediately understood and walked up to Yang Shiguang, handing him a business card.
"Mr. Yang, right? Thank you for saving Young Master Xi and Miss. This is my business card; if you need anything, just contact me."
Yang Shiguang took the business card and smiled, saying:
"It was nothing!"
After they said their goodbyes, the black Volkswagen sped off in the direction of Star City.
Yang Shiguang stared blankly in the direction the car had left. An Miaomiao walked up from behind.
"What are you looking at? Did you take a fancy to someone else's sister?"
An Miaomiao puffed out her cheeks, feigning anger.
"Honestly confess, did you only help because she was pretty? I haven't seen you be this kind before."
Yang Shiguang laughed twice upon hearing this and patted An Miaomiao's head.
"How could that be? No matter how pretty she is, how could she compare to my Miaomiao? After all, she couldn't even catch up to your exhaust fumes in a lifetime, hahaha."
"Hehe, as long as you know."
Hearing Yang Shiguang mention her strengths, An Miaomiao blushed again, but she didn't deny it; instead, she hugged Yang Shiguang's arm again.
Yang Shiguang looked back in the direction the two had left, deep in thought.
"I keep feeling like these two look familiar."
"Really? Their speech and demeanor don't seem like ordinary people."
An Miaomiao shared her thoughts.
"And hearing that Uncle Lin call someone 'Boss', they must be second-generation rich kids, right?"
Yang Shiguang shook his head after listening to An Miaomiao's analysis:
"Definitely not."
Suddenly remembering something, he took out the business card from his pocket and looked at it.
The business card was very simple, with only a few large characters. But the information contained within was vast.
Lin Yize, Deputy Division Chief, First Comprehensive Division, General Office of the Hunan Province Provincial Committee.
Seeing this, Yang Shiguang frowned deeply.
Being able to easily summon a deputy division-level cadre meant that the identities of these two siblings were definitely extraordinary.
But the two were similar in age to him, likely still university students, definitely not in the system, so it could only be their father.
And the deputy positions in the First Comprehensive Division of the General Office rarely involved direct division work.
Their more important identity was actually as a liaison for a certain leader, or in layman's terms, a secretary.
So, combining this with their surname, the identity of the siblings' father became obvious.
The third-in-command of the Hunan Province Provincial Committee, Full-time Deputy Secretary, Xi Xiushan.
At this moment, a memory from his past life, dormant in Yang Shiguang's mind, slowly awakened.
… Past Life, 2014, Star City, Blue Mill Club.
"Yang Shiguang, smash it for me, smash everything here!"
At this time, the 25-year-old Yang Shiguang was leading a group of people to smash various facilities in the club.
The young man giving orders was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, revealing a cruel smile, holding an empty wine glass in his hand.
Beside him, a stunningly beautiful and seductive woman was carefully pouring him wine.
This young man was Sun Chao. At this time, because his father had just achieved a double promotion to become the second-in-command of Hunan Province, he was becoming increasingly arrogant and domineering.
In Yang Shiguang's memory, Sun Chao was vicious, ruthless, insidious, and cunning. Moreover, he had a powerful backing, and it seemed no one who opposed him had a good ending. Yet this time, it was the only record that could be considered a draw.
"Stop, let's see who dares to move!"
A voice, not loud but full of intimidation, came through, accompanied by a group of burly men in suits rushing into the club.
Yang Shiguang and the group stopped their destructive actions upon seeing this scene.
The woman pouring wine was also startled, causing some red wine to spill onto the corner of Sun Chao's clothes.
At this moment, the burly men parted from the middle, revealing the source of the voice.
A woman with delicate features was pushing a wheelchair, and the man who had just spoken was sitting in it.
This was the pair of siblings that the present-day Yang Shiguang had helped. Only, they were less green and more mature, and the man had lost his healthy legs, now relying on a wheelchair to move.
Sun Chao ignored the two, instead slapping the woman pouring wine to the ground hard.
"You can't even pour wine, trash!"
He then looked at Yang Shiguang and the others.
"Did I tell you to stop? A bunch of trash!"
At this moment, Xi Wang's expression was extremely ugly. He suppressed his anger and said:
"Young Master Sun, we have no quarrel. I don't know why you've come to my place to cause trouble today?"
Sun Chao didn't get angry; instead, he replied in a sarcastic tone:
"Isn't this Young Master Xi? You're still alive? Rumor has it that you've been keeping a low profile, sitting in your wheelchair every day, watching the scenery, and waiting for your life to come to an end."
"I'm just seeing that your club's decoration is old and helping you renovate it."
"It's about done now, so I'll be leaving. Young Master Xi, no need to see me off or thank me!"
However, at this time, Xi Xiushan was already the top leader, so Sun Chao was somewhat wary and had to take his people and leave.
When walking past Xi Wang, Sun Chao didn't forget to lean over, grip the wheelchair with one hand, and whisper in his ear:
"Young Master Xi, I suggest you take advantage of the time your old man is still around to plan your retreat early."
"I'm afraid the situation might change. I wouldn't mind helping this good sister of yours find a suitable…"
"Job~"
"Hahahaha!"
Without waiting for Xi Wang to get angry, Sun Chao let out an arrogant laugh and left with his people.
Afterwards, Yang Shiguang never saw this pair of siblings again.
But he still remembered that before he went abroad, Xi Xiushan had stepped down in dismay for some unknown reason, and presumably, the fate of these two siblings wouldn't be very good.
The reason he didn't immediately recognize the two was, first, because their appearances and temperaments had indeed changed after 7 years.
Second, because at that time, Xi Wang had been in a wheelchair.
Yang Shiguang suddenly thought of something.
If he hadn't appeared on Furong Avenue at that specific time.
If Xi Yakui hadn't found someone to help in time.
Then, under the pressure of the hundred-kilogram Suzuki K9, Xi Wang would very likely have suffered paralysis in both legs due to nerve necrosis.
"Did I change the timeline?"
Yang Shiguang sighed in a low voice.
"But regardless, finding the core strength to oppose Sun Chao is always a good thing."
Thinking of this, Yang Shiguang's worried brow smoothed out, and he felt a burst of happiness. He pulled An Miaomiao into the car and continued their trip to Star City.
