On the other side, the car drove away from the Jianghe Villa area and slowly stopped by the roadside after a short distance.

Tao Yao got out of the van in front, and Chen Yang followed closely behind, getting out of Song Mengmeng's car.

Tao Yao walked up to Chen Yang, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Young Master Chen, the person has been safely rescued. I'll go back and report to Sister Mei now."

Chen Yang looked at her and said sincerely, "Thank you so much for your help, beautiful lady. Otherwise, we would have been in real trouble tonight."

Tao Yao couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows relaxed, and her tone softened considerably: "Young Master Chen, my name is Tao Yao. You don't need to be so polite, just call me by my name."

Helping you is also Sister Mei's idea.

Chen Yang nodded, recalling Xiao Mingxuan's earlier words, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Tao Yao, Xiao Mingxuan mentioned his brother earlier. What's his brother's name?"

Tao Yao looked somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Young Master Chen doesn't know? His brother's name is Xiao Mingxiao."

Chen Yang pressed further, "Is this Xiao Mingxiao very capable?"

Tao Yao nodded slightly, her expression becoming more serious: "He has some influence, and quite a bit of it. He has been rooted in Dongguan for many years, and he and our Sister Mei have always kept to themselves, not interfering with each other's affairs."

"If it weren't for helping you tonight, we wouldn't have offended him so easily."

Chen Yang understood. He had noticed earlier that when Tao Yao led her men to take down Xiao Mingxuan's men, she did not attack Xiao Mingxuan himself, clearly not wanting to completely offend Xiao Mingxiao.

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Tao Yao, when you get back, please thank Sister Mei for me. I'll go and thank her in person tomorrow."

Tao Yao nodded: "Yes, Young Master Chen, I will definitely convey your message."

"Then I'll go back and report."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, watching Tao Yao and her men get into the car, and only turned around slowly after watching their car drive away.

Song Mengmeng got out of the car, her face full of worry. She quickly walked to Chen Yang's side and asked anxiously, "Chen Yang, that was really dangerous. Are you alright?"

Will we run into trouble next?

Chen Yang comforted her, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry. I'm here, there won't be any trouble."

Let's go back first, and we'll discuss the specifics when we get there.

As he was speaking, he was about to turn around and get into the car when the girl in the car also pushed open the car door and got out.

Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng subconsciously looked over.

This time, Chen Yang finally got a good look at the girl's appearance.

She has a classic oval face with delicate features, fair and smooth skin, and a pair of large, bright eyes that make her look lively and beautiful—a true campus beauty.

She was petite yet well-proportioned, with a full bust, and her clean school uniform added to her innocent charm.

She was looking up at Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng timidly.

Song Mengmeng stepped forward, gently took the girl's hand, and said in a tender tone, "Little girl, why did you get off the bus? Is there something else?"

The girl gently shook her head, her voice soft and sweet: "My sister will be here in a bit. She asked me to wait for her here. She said she wants to thank you in person."

Just then, a blinding headlight shone on, and a black Bentley slowly drove up and came to a steady stop beside the girl.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, waving at the Bentley: "Sis! I'm here!"

The Bentley's door opened, and a woman in a purple dress stepped out of the car.

She was slender and elegant, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a bright and beautiful face and a mature charm in her eyes.

Her makeup was exquisite, her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender and fair neck, and she exuded a noble aura, clearly not an ordinary person.

She hurried to the girl's side, grabbed her hand, her face filled with excitement and lingering fear, and said urgently, "Nianwei, are you alright? Were you hurt? You scared me to death!"

The young girl, Chu Nianwei, shook her head, took the woman's hand, pointed to Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng, and said gratefully, "Sister, I'm fine. They saved me. If it weren't for them, I really don't know what I would have done."

The woman in the purple dress turned around, her gaze falling on Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng, her eyes filled with gratitude, and she nodded slightly to the two of them.

She said sincerely, "Thank you both for saving my sister. I am deeply grateful. If you ever need any help in the future, please feel free to come to the Chu family to find me."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and handed a business card to Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng respectively.

Chen Yang waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "It was nothing, no need to be polite. As long as she's alright, that's all that matters."

"Please accept my business card, my two benefactors..." The woman in the purple dress pressed the business card into Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng's hands, thanked them repeatedly, and then pulled Chu Nianwei into the Bentley.

The car started slowly and quickly drove away from the roadside, disappearing into the night.

Chen Yang and Song Mengmeng put away the business cards and got into the car together.

Song Mengmeng fastened her seatbelt, started the car, and slowly drove away from the roadside.

As night deepened, the light and shadow of the streetlights swayed back and forth across the two people's faces through the car window, and the carriage became quiet for a moment.

While driving, Song Mengmeng tightened her grip on the steering wheel slightly. Recalling the terrifying scene at the villa just now, a wave of fear inexplicably rose in her heart. Her tone was still somewhat apprehensive: "Chen Yang, it's fortunate that you called Sister Mei's people to help, otherwise that girl and I would have been in real trouble today."

Chen Yang glanced at her sideways, his tone tinged with reproach: "Sister-in-law, you were too impulsive just now. Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Don't be so reckless again. In situations like this, protect yourself first.

Song Mengmeng looked a little guilty, scratched her head sheepishly, and said sincerely, "I just acted impulsively and didn't think much about it when I saw that little girl being bullied."

However, I will definitely be more careful next time and won't be so impulsive.

She paused, then turned to Chen Yang with a puzzled look, asking curiously, "By the way, why were you asking Xiao Mingxuan for money back at the villa?"

Besides working as a chef at the hotel, do you do any other part-time jobs?

Chen Yang shook his head slightly and said vaguely, "It's not really a part-time job. I was just helping a friend out. It just so happened that Xiao Mingxuan owed my friend money."

He didn't want to reveal too much about Su Bing and the IOU, lest Song Mengmeng worry.

After driving smoothly for a while, Song Mengmeng did not drive towards Chen Yang's rented house, but instead drove straight towards her own residential area.

Chen Yang sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you can stop here. I can take a taxi home myself. Don't bother."

Song Mengmeng glanced at him, her tone resolute: "Why go back? It's so late, it's not convenient to take a taxi. Just stay here for the night."

Chen Yang quickly waved his hand, his tone hurried: "How can that be? You and Heng-ge just got married, that's your wedding room, how can I move in? It's too inconvenient."

As he spoke, he reached for the car door handle, intending to get out of the car.
