Chapter 10: Miss Wang of the Wang Family!

To capture Tang Ye, Liu Dayong was fully confident. A youngster with a blank history, he deduced must be new to Yanjing. That meant he was a complete greenhorn. Able to injure Yang Jiaxiong, he probably got his strength from backbreaking work in the fields or moving bricks... Liu Dayong was filled with contempt and disdain for Tang Ye.

Seeing Tang Ye at a loss, he knew the matter was settled. Then his gaze shifted to Lin Yourong beside Tang Ye, and his eyes lit up.

Lin Yourong noticed the lustful gaze Liu Dayong cast on her and immediately shrank back, feeling particularly disgusted.

Tang Ye also noticed the lecherous look Liu Dayong gave Lin Yourong and was instantly furious, his fist clenched, ready to throw a punch. But Lin Yourong grabbed his hand, stopping him from being rash.

Throwing a punch at a deputy director would bring trouble that wouldn't be easy to resolve.

Liu Dayong noticed Lin Yourong's intimate gesture towards Tang Ye and snorted coldly, looking at Tang Ye with scorn, "A fine flower has regrettably been planted in cow dung!"

Feeling a silent rage, Tang Ye said nothing. He was waiting, waiting for someone to bail him out. Since Lin Yourong had informed Chen Shuqing about this, Chen Shuqing wouldn't just do nothing.

However, though he felt some reassurance, Tang Ye realized that without his own strength, he was doomed to be bullied. Lin Yourong was no ordinary woman; to protect her well, he could not be ordinary. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, applies everywhere, in every era.

He needed to have power!

That was Tang Ye's strong conviction at that moment. It wasn't that he had a heart set on fame and profit, but rather that he needed this means to protect himself and those around him.

Liu Dayong, seeing Tang Ye still hadn't made a move, grew bored and impatient, "I thought you would be something special, but you're just a coward. If you have the guts, hit me! If not, then come with me to the police station quietly!"

The three cops following Liu Dayong sneered, finding the situation amusing as they saw Tang Ye being played like a fiddle, ready to be carved up at their will. They were extremely displeased with Tang Ye; what did that poor sod have to deserve a supreme beauty like Lin Yourong?

Just like their hatred for the rich, what they didn't possess, they didn't want Tang Ye to have either!

Tang Ye really wanted to hit them.

But Lin Yourong stopped Tang Ye again, gently shaking her head, and whispered, "Don't be impulsive, they're deliberately provoking you, don't fall for it."

Tang Ye smiled faintly, looking at Lin Yourong but saying nothing. He hadn't expected that Lin Yourong, who usually seemed introverted, quiet, timid, and shy, could be so clear-headed in a critical moment. She had a strong instinct for self-preservation. Yet this might not be a good thing. The more she was like this, the more it showed she lacked a sense of security, lacking someone reliable by her side.

A girl living such a life must suffer a great deal. Tang Ye looked at Lin Yourong with even more pity, his determination to gain strength even firmer.

"You two, cuff Tang Ye for me!" Liu Dayong, finding no amusement, waved for two policemen behind him to seize Tang Ye.

The two policemen, smirking playfully, took out handcuffs and approached Tang Ye, clearly very pleased with themselves, as if they were hunting their prey, ready to slowly torment Tang Ye to death.

Tang Ye's expression turned cold, and Lin Yourong nervously clinched his hand.

Just then, a military off-road vehicle charged in, fast and furious, screeching to a halt just before crashing into two police cars, stopping just in time.

Liu Dayong jumped, worried the off-road vehicle would hit him, and yelled angrily, "Are you blind driving that thing? Can you afford the responsibility if you crush the police car?"

"Believe it or not, I'll smash your police car right now?" The voice came before the person could be seen. Unexpectedly, it was the voice of a woman. Crisp, loud, and assertive, it possessed an overwhelming confidence, showing no regard for Liu Dayong.

Liu Dayong, upon hearing the woman's voice, was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened.

At that moment, a woman got out of the off-road vehicle; she was dressed in a black, sporty outfit, tall and shapely, with a prominent chest and curves no worse than Lin Yourong's. Her face was delicate and lovely, and her hair was tied back in a fresh ponytail, equally as beautiful as Lin Yourong's. However, her demeanor was serious and arrogant, with an air of imperiousness and wildness.

Tang Ye, seeing her, his eyes shone with appreciation.

But then he winced from a sharp pain in his waist, ouch, Lin Yourong had pinched him hard. After all, he had been absorbed gazing at another woman. His wife was angry!

He turned to Lin Yourong and said with an awkward grin, "Beauty should be appreciated and praised, and I definitely didn't mean anything else."

"Hmph!" Lin Yourong let out a heavy snort.

The woman walked up to Liu Dayong, who instantly changed his gloomy expression to one of fawning obsequiousness, "Miss Wang, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

This woman was none other than the Wang family's eldest daughter, Wang Jianjia, the granddaughter of Wang Ai Ren, currently working in the military region. The Wang family was a prestigious military family with illustrious achievements.

It was said that Wang Jianjia had also made remarkable achievements in the military, and at this moment, she bore two bars and two stars on her epaulet, holding the rank of a lieutenant colonel. Such accomplishments at such a young age truly befitted someone from a distinguished family. The Wang family valued her greatly and intended to nurture her into a prominent female figure of their generation. Therefore, in Yanjing, those who knew her wouldn't dare provoke her easily.

Besides her status and identity, her personality was also a reason people were wary—proud and untamed. Having trained in the military region from a young age, she possessed overpowering strength and never held back in a fight.

Liu Dayong would definitely not dare to provoke Wang Jianjia. He just never anticipated that Tang Ye would actually receive direct protection from the Wang family.

What virtues and abilities did this kid possess?

The two policemen who had intended to handcuff Tang Ye were also frozen in place. They quickly hid their handcuffs, no longer daring to lay a finger on Tang Ye. They felt a bit panicked, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

If Tang Ye had a good relationship with Wang Jianjia, it would be effortless for him to have them killed.

Damn it! They cursed inwardly, feeling like Tang Ye had played them for fools. Thankfully they hadn't taken any real action, otherwise, they might not even know how they would have died.

Looking at Tang Ye, they no longer dared to show any hint of mockery.

At that moment, Wang Jianjia walked up to Liu Dayong, looked at him coldly without bothering to acknowledge him, and then turned to Tang Ye, saying with a snort, "Tang Ye?"

Tang Ye was a bit frustrated. Although this woman was here to protect him, her arrogance was a bit much. That stony-faced expression she wore—as though he owed her money and refused to pay it back.

"I am Tang Ye." Muttering a few complaints inwardly, Tang Ye nodded to Wang Jianjia.

Having received her answer, Wang Jianjia didn't continue talking to Tang Ye. Instead, she turned to Liu Dayong and coldly snorted, "Were you thinking of touching him?"

"No, no, no…" Liu Dayong immediately shook his head, still smiling obsequiously, saying, "I was just here to inquire about something from Tang Ye, with no disrespect intended. Miss Wang, rest assured, nothing will happen to Tang Ye!"

Though he spoke in such a way, his face burned with embarrassment, and his stomach was full of bitterness. A senior official could suppress those below, especially one who outranked him by several levels. Just a moment ago, he had been acting high and mighty before Tang Ye, but now he was grovelling and apologizing, feeling like a clown stripped of all dignity. People say that one's face is their dignity; his current situation was the epitome of humiliation.

Liu Dayong really didn't want to continue this way. Bowing his head and still smiling apologetically, he said, "Miss Wang, since you have matters to discuss with Tang Ye and I've finished my inquiries, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now, haha…"

Wang Jianjia, with a look of disgust, waved her hand to let this hypocritical wretch leave quickly.

Liu Dayong, fuming inwardly, sneakily glanced back at Tang Ye with a malicious look before quickly getting into the police car and leaving. His two or three subordinates closely followed, hastily making their escape, for fear of being killed.

After they left, Wang Jianjia turned to look at Tang Ye again, furrowing her brows, but said not a word before getting into her SUV and driving off.

Hey, this aloof dame, Tang Ye thought she truly lacked any element of warmth. He figured she probably came to his aid because Chen Shuqing had pulled some strings. However, while Wang Jianjia might be standoffish, he wasn't. Human interactions should involve more warmth, shouldn't they?

He jogged over to the SUV and, looking at Wang Jianjia inside, smiled and said, "Miss Wang, thank you for protecting me."

"No need." Wang Jianjia was brisk and indifferent as she looked at Tang Ye and said, "You saved my grandfather, and I protected you this one time, we're even now."

After saying that, Wang Jianjia started the SUV and drove off without another word.

Tang Ye felt awkward, touching his nose. Why did his attempt at showing gratitude seem to have backfired? Damn, he hadn't done anything to offend that woman, had he? Ah, her attitude really was problematic!

He shook his head, no longer caring to dwell on it. Since he had dodged a bullet this time, he turned to go inside with Lin Yourong. But Lin Yourong was biting her lower lip, glaring at him fiercely, both aggrieved and resentful.

"Are you telling me that one glance at her made you reluctant to look away?" Lin Yourong huffed with intense jealousy, clearly upset about Tang Ye running after Wang Jianjia to chat.

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. His wife was just too cute, utterly straightforward without a hint of guile, wearing her emotions plainly on her face.

Simple-minded women were the best.

Tang Ye walked over and, regardless of Lin Yourong's protests, embraced her and kissed her fiercely, leaving Lin Yourong limp in his arms, all her ire dissolving away.
