Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Before Yang Huaqing could finish speaking, he saw a hand tap his chest.

Immediately afterwards, a warm current appeared, and the tearing pain miraculously stopped.

Although the physical weakness remained, the injuries seemed to have healed and were no longer fatal.

This caused Yang Huaqing's emotions to become disjointed when he was giving his final instructions.

It was Chen Zhou who took action. What Yang Huaqing considered an incurable injury was a minor matter to Chen Zhou.

Seeing Yang Huaqing looking at him, Chen Zhou blinked and said, "You guys continue."

After saying that, Chen Zhou continued to enjoy the battle between the leaders.

Yang Huaqing stood up and stared blankly at Tang Shan, who was either oblivious to or unaware of Yang Huaqing's embarrassment.

Tang Shan's face was full of joy as he looked at Yang Huaqing, who was now able to stand up.

Then, he slapped his forehead and helped Yang Huaqing into the room to rest.

Tang Xiao then sent the 100,000 soldiers to their rooms to await the arrival of the ambulances.

The Regretful Villain was beaten by the Strategy Villain for nearly an hour before leaving. Before leaving, the Regretful Villain firmly believed that Chen Zhou should not be attacked casually.

……

Tang Family Living Room.

Shi Wan and the soldiers have been taken to the hospital, with Tang Shishi accompanying them.

As for Yang Huaqing, he himself did not want to go to the hospital.

After being cured of heart problems by Chen Zhou, Yang Huaqing had no other issues except for weakness.

Therefore, given Yang Huaqing's strong insistence and the need to keep the God of War's true identity a secret, they had no choice but to allow him to remain in the Tang family.

Tang Xiao applied some medicine to Yang Huaqing, which put Tang Shan and Tang Yun at ease.

In the living room, Yang Huaqing and Tang Yun sat next to each other.

He now knows that Chen Zhou is a member of the Chen family, so there are some things he must say.

Yang Huaqing looked at Chen Zhou with a look of grim determination: "Young Master Chen, I will not agree to my wife marrying into the Xu family."

Yang Huaqing's perception of the second generation of rich kids is that they are self-centered, arrogant, and have an inflated sense of self-importance.

They do not allow others to go against their ideas and act solely based on their own whims.

In the past, when faced with such rich second-generation individuals, Yang Huaqing was able to use his status as the God of War to suppress them and make them back down.

But this guy in front of me, a second-generation master who would run away at a glance, might not be able to suppress the identity of the God of War.

Even so, Yang Huaqing still had to speak out.

He was never one to compromise, nor would he allow those around him to do so.

"Um?"

The Tang family members felt a pang of anxiety, and Yang Huaqing immediately stood up, shielding Tang Yun and the others behind him.

"Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat you," Chen Zhou joked before continuing, "I'm just surprised."

The Xu family, while not a particularly powerful clan in Shanghai, was not exactly a destitute household in need of assistance either.

Therefore, Chen Zhou said directly, "The Xu family hasn't fallen so low that they need to marry a woman who already has a child to survive, have they?"

Although the Tang family members were displeased upon hearing this, they did not show it.

Tang Shan explained, "The Xu family doesn't know anything about my daughter's situation. The marriage to Xu Pang from the Xu family was arranged by my sister-in-law. She said it was a marriage that the Chen family specifically found for my Tang family."

If it weren't for Tong Xinyi's suggestion that the Chen family act as matchmakers, Tang Shan would have already called off the engagement.

Chen Zhou shook his head and offered his guess: "That should just be my aunt's personal action. My family wouldn't act as matchmakers like that."

"Also, Fatty Xu isn't the kind of person who resembles Cao Cao."

"Finally, think about it, has my family ever provided the Xu family with even the slightest bit of support in recent years?"

"So, I reckon my aunt deceived both you and the Xu family."

The only family members qualified to act as matchmakers between Xu Pangpang and Tang Yun are his father and mother.

However, neither of them had that kind of personality, and the Chen family never showed any signs of supporting the Xu family in business.

Therefore, Chen Zhou can be certain that this was Tong Xinyi's personal behavior.

Furthermore, the Xu family must have been deceived as well.

Yang Huaqing was unaware of these things, so he looked at Tang Yun, who blushed and said somewhat shyly, "For the past six years, I've been thinking about you."

The little character burst into laughter: [High EQ: Thinking of you.]

[Low emotional intelligence: Hasn't managed the company for six years, hasn't followed industry trends, and was unaware of this news.]

Chen Zhou didn't want to laugh, but the little man in the strategy guide was right, so he couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Shan couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Over the years, apart from normal business cooperation, the Chen family has indeed not provided the Xu family with any support whatsoever."

Thinking about it this way, Tang Shan frowned.

Yes, if the Chen family acted as guarantor for this marriage.

Given the Chen family's style of doing things, they will definitely compensate the Xu family in other ways.

But that's not the case now. The truth might be just as Chen Zhou said: this was purely Tong Xinyi's personal behavior.

The thought of this made Tang Shan furious.

Since her eldest daughter was involved, she deliberately interfered in the marriage.

Was her closeness to her youngest daughter also fake?

Tang Shan looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Does the Chen family know about Tong Xinyi's actions?"

Tang Shan immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question.

"Then can I go directly to the Xu family to explain the situation?" Yang Huaqing asked, wanting to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Chen Zhou nodded: "That's right, you can just go directly to the Xu family and explain the situation."

Seeing the hesitation in everyone's expressions, Chen Zhou added, "As for my aunt's matter, I will explain it to my parents."

Since Chen Zhou had said so, the Tang family naturally had no choice but to agree.

After that, Chen Zhou sent Tang Shan a copy of the cultivation method that they had agreed on earlier.

In front of Chen Zhou, Tang Shan sent a copy to Tang Shishi, and then he sent another copy to Yang Huaqing.

Yang Huaqing was astonished upon seeing it and asked Chen Zhou where the senior who created this technique was, as he wanted to pay him a visit.

Chen Zhou smiled but remained silent.

……

At this moment, Chen Ya brought the puppet to a Taoist temple—the White Mist Temple.

Chen Ya glanced at the mini-program, and the location of the Hu family members was displayed here.

Baiwu Temple is a very famous Taoist temple in Shanghai, attracting a considerable number of visitors every year.

Chen Ya remained silent for a moment, then led the puppet into the Taoist temple.

Following the location on the mini-program, he quickly arrived at the backyard of the Taoist temple, which is also where the Taoists live and practice daily.

After briefly identifying which courtyard the Hu family was hiding in, Chen Ya was about to take action when an aged voice rang out: "Layman, show mercy where you can."
