79: A housewarming celebration, ruined by someone?

The strength of her opponent made Lilac very anxious.

“These past two days, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well, just fearing the final outcome…”

At this moment, she seemed particularly fragile.

Chen Yang leaned over and gently patted her shoulder.

“Don’t worry too much, maybe… things aren’t that bad.”

Lilac forced a smile.

“Actually, it’s not entirely for myself; mainly… I don’t want to disappoint my family!”

Chen Yang understood completely.

The main branch had controlled the family for decades.

If, in Lilac’s generation, they lost the position of Family Head, how could they be reconciled?

One move affects the whole situation!

By then, it wouldn’t just be a matter of the Family Head.

Group development, family future, profit distribution, and so on—it involved all aspects.

This was a major issue concerning the family's survival, and one could not be too careful!

Lilac’s complexion looked very poor, bearing immense psychological pressure.

Chen Yang softly comforted her.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you.”

Lilac felt a little relieved.

This time, she hadn’t managed to invite the most formidable Stone Gambling Master.

Her elders had also found a very capable appraisal master for her.

Coupled with Chen Yang’s special talent for spotting overlooked treasures, there might still be a chance to compete.

After comforting Lilac, it was already late when Chen Yang left the Treasure Pavilion.

Tomorrow was the day of the housewarming.

Chen Yang drove to the Lakeside Villa to check on the preparations.

On the way, he connected his car's Bluetooth and called Black Tiger.

He briefly informed him about Kameda Shoji’s information.

Black Tiger was delighted.

“You, fellow, just wandering around idly, and you can still run into a spy.”

“Our entire Group Three hasn’t caught spies as fast as you alone.”

“Do you have a dog’s nose, able to sniff them out from eight hundred miles away?”

Chen Yang was displeased.

“Brother Tiger, if you don’t know how to praise people, I advise you not to praise randomly in the future.”

“What do you mean, a dog’s nose? This is talent; my sixth sense is incredibly strong!”

“You should be grateful you introduced me to Group Three.”

“Although it’s just a consultant position, and the benefits are a bit lacking, my value is absolutely worth more than its cost!”

Black Tiger’s face darkened.

“Chen Yang, can’t you have some conscience?”

“What do you mean, ‘just a consultant’? What do you mean, ‘benefits are a bit lacking’?”

“You’re a 22-year-old kid who just graduated, and I made you a Major and Battalion Commander.”

“Tell me, is this consultant position really that bad?”

“You have no missions, no clocking in, no responsibilities, no targets, you do nothing, and you get 10,000 yuan a month for free.”

“Tell me, are these benefits really that bad?”

Chen Yang rubbed his temples, laughing awkwardly.

“Brother Tiger, that’s not what I meant.”

“You misunderstood; the key point is the latter… worth more than its cost!”

Black Tiger’s tone softened.

“That’s true! You, kid, might not be good at other things, but for catching spies, you are indeed a master!”

Chen Yang was unhappy again.

“What do you mean, ‘not good at other things’? What am I not good at? Explain yourself!”

Black Tiger defended himself:

“You’re misunderstanding; the key point is the latter… for catching spies, you are a master!”

Chen Yang was speechless.

When did this honest guy learn to be so mischievous?

“Brother Tiger, when the case is solved and there are results, don’t forget my contribution!”

Black Tiger laughed.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get your share of the benefits.”

“Oh, and about this little devil, we might not close the net on him anytime soon. If you encounter him again, report any new information immediately.”

Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

Arriving at the Lakeside Villa, he saw that everything was ready.

Han Feixue and Feng Danqing had truly put their hearts into it.

Every aspect was considered very thoroughly.

Chen Yang felt relieved and went straight to sleep in the villa.

Chen Yang’s bedroom was personally prepared by Feng Danqing and Han Feixue.

All the bedding was high-grade, with an excellent feel.

Sleeping on it was very comfortable.

As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, Chen Yang immediately checked the latest intelligence.

【Ding!】

【Today’s intelligence refresh!】

【Intelligence 1】: The mastermind against Liu Sisi will participate in the Stone Gambling Convention.

【Intelligence 2】: There will be trouble coming to the door on today’s housewarming day.

【Intelligence 3】: Today on the Lake Heart Island, you will meet a master and gain some insights.

Chen Yang immediately checked the first piece of intelligence.

In the image, a proud young man appeared: Fang Haotian, the young master of the Fang Corporation, the top financial group in Jiangnan Province.

Sitting in a luxurious office, he sipped red wine and asked his assistant, “Have you figured out Liu Sisi’s itinerary?”

The assistant trembled.

“Confirmed, she will attend the opening ceremony of the Stone Gambling Convention on time.”

Fang Haotian’s face revealed a sinister smile.

“Good!”

“Have the things I arranged for you to do been prepared?”

The assistant nodded repeatedly.

“Young Master, everything has been implemented according to your instructions.”

Fang Haotian burst into laughter.

“Excellent!”

“This time, let’s see how that bitch Liu Sisi can escape my grasp!”

...Exiting the screen, Chen Yang was secretly alarmed!

Fang Haotian had powerful influence and had made preparations in advance.

This trip to Caiyun City would likely be very turbulent!

He had to be extremely careful!

Checking the second piece of intelligence, the information wasn’t very clear.

He only knew that another wealthy man lived in the villa area and would actively come to cause trouble today.

The specific situation was very vague in the intelligence.

This matter could only be handled as it came, taking one step at a time.

Alas!

It was a housewarming, and someone was still causing trouble.

How annoying!

The third piece of intelligence was very peculiar.

On the Lake Heart Island, there was an otherworldly master with high cultivation.

If Chen Yang could seize the opportunity, he might be able to take him as a master and learn some unknown secrets of the current world.

After reading the intelligence, Chen Yang had a plan.

He quickly washed up and drove to the City First Hospital.

First, he went to Dr. Bai’s office.

“Sister Yan, are you not off today?”

When Bai Yuyan saw Chen Yang, she immediately showed a happy smile.

“Brother Yang, you’re so early? Are you here to pick up Uncle and Auntie?”

Chen Yang nodded.

Bai Yuyan smiled, “I’m off today. I specially came to the hospital to wait for you.”

Chen Yang was surprised.

“Waiting for me?”

Bai Yuyan smiled, “I know you’re coming to pick up Uncle and Auntie. I was afraid you, a big man, wouldn’t know how to take care of people.”

“Uncle’s body is still in recovery, after all. It’s better to be careful.”

“So, I came to help you and safely escort Uncle to the villa together.”

Chen Yang was touched.

“Sister Yan, you’re so kind!”

Bai Yuyan rolled her eyes at him.

“You’re only just realizing that?”

The two went to the ward together.

His mother, Yang Aihua, immediately asked, “Yang Zi, where exactly are you taking us today?”

His father, Chen Zhongshi, was also very curious.

“Yes, to go out, you even specially bought me a wheelchair. What a waste!”

“My body is very good now; I can walk a few steps. Every day I get out of bed and walk seven or eight laps back and forth. Moving around is no problem at all.”

Chen Yang explained with a smile, “Mom and Dad, today I’m taking you out of the hospital. The journey is quite long, so that’s why you need to sit in a wheelchair.”

Yang Aihua became even more curious.

“Where exactly are we going?”

Chen Yang smiled, “Didn’t I tell you last time? I bought a villa at Daming Lake Lakeside.”

“Today is the official move-in, and I’ve invited a few good friends to make it lively. I’m inviting you to come and hold the fort, and have some fun.”

Yang Aihua was greatly surprised!

“Son, what you said… is it true?”

Chen Yang did not answer directly.

“You’ll know if it’s true or not when you see it today, won’t you?”

The elderly couple were half-believing, half-doubting, and immediately started packing.

Chen Zhongshi sat in the wheelchair, and Chen Yang pushed him into the elevator.

They went downstairs.

Bai Yuyan and Yang Aihua walked arm in arm, following behind, chatting as they went.

“Dr. Bai, did Yang Zi really buy a big house? Have you seen it?”

Bai Yuyan shook her head, “I haven’t been there. I want to see it too!”

Sitting in Chen Yang’s wrangler for the first time, his father Chen Zhongshi and mother Yang Aihua were both very shocked.

They touched here and looked there, unable to believe it was real for a long time.

“Son, is this… really your car?”

Chen Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He pulled out a driver’s license.

“Dad, Mom, it says right here, the owner really is your son.”

Yang Aihua, being illiterate, specifically picked up the driver’s license and asked Bai Yuyan to verify it.

Bai Yuyan could only “seriously” flip through it.

“Auntie, it does say here that the owner is Chen Yang.”

Yang Aihua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did she believe that Chen Yang wasn’t bragging.

When the wrangler stopped at the entrance of the Lakeside Villa, the elderly couple absolutely refused to get out of the car.
