Wen Muxue gazed at the dense crowd before her. She had originally thought that her horizons had broadened significantly by following Tang Yuan on this journey, yet the scene before her still filled her with shock.
What kind of feeling was this?
Above ten thousand people, supreme and noble!
This feeling was difficult to describe in words, but it was irresistible.
Under these circumstances, Wen Muxuesubconsciously turned her gaze to Tang Yuan beside her. She saw that his sharply defined profile was filled with calmness, his deep, dark eyes were unperturbed, and an air of nobility permeated his entire being.
"Could it be..."
"Is this his true appearance?"
Wen Muxue thought silently, her mind beginning to wander wildly.
Tang Yuan was unaware of Wen Muxue's thoughts. Faced with such a grand welcoming ceremony, he was only momentarily surprised before quickly regaining control of his emotions, then symbolically said a few pleasantries.
Subsequently, under Xiao Yayue's introduction, Zhao Haiwei and the other four introduced themselves simply to Tang Yuan.
As core management of Jinwei Security, Tang Yuannaturally had information about Zhao Haiwei and the other four. Now that they had met, Tang Yuan quickly matched them with the information he had.
In front of the VIP building, everyone exchanged brief pleasantries. Afterwards, Tang Yuan, along with Wen Muxue and Xiong Kai, got into the vehicle prepared for him by Zhao Haiwei and the others—a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz Maybach.
After Tang Yuan got into the car, Zhao Haiwei and the others also boarded their respective vehicles.
Soon, the entire convoy majestically drove away from the airport, speeding towards Central, Hong Kong.
Sitting in the comfortably temperate and spacious seat, Tang Yuan looked out the window for a while, then withdrew his gaze, because after leaving the airport, both sides of the road were rather remote and desolate, with nothing much to see.
After withdrawing his gaze, Tang Yuan noticed that Wen Muxue was staring at him in a daze, her eyes subtly lost in thought. This made Tang Yuan a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there something on my face?"
Tang Yuan subconsciously touched his face, asking with some confusion.
"Senior..."
"Is your family involved with the underworld?"
Facing Tang Yuan's question, Wen Muxue asked somewhat timidly.
Tang Yuan was startled when he heard this. At first, he was a little speechless at Wen Muxue's thought process, but then he thought of the scene in front of the VIP building earlier: dozens of burly men in black collectively bowing in welcome. It seemed reasonable for Wen Muxue to think that way.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuan suddenly became interested and wanted to tease Wen Muxue.
The next second, Tang Yuan's expression darkened, becoming obscure. His voice was a little hoarse as he looked at Wen Muxue and said, "Some things are better left unsaid, why do you have to voice them?"
Seeing Tang Yuan suddenly show such an expression, Wen Muxue's eyes widened slightly, and she inexplicably began to feel nervous: "Senior, you... what do you want to do..."
"What do I want to do?" Tang Yuan slowly leaned towards Wen Muxue. Just as they were very, very close, he smiled wickedly: "Since you've found out, I naturally won't let you leave Hong Kong again. From now on, you will become my forbidden possession; for this life and this world, you can only stay by my side!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Muxue shrank back, then blinked her clear, flawless beautiful eyes and said timidly, "Then you must keep your word..."
Tang Yuan: "???"
Wen Muxue's answer left Tang Yuan utterly bewildered. He paused, then immediately put on an even fiercer expression and said in a deep voice, "I said I would confine you in Hong Kong, and then I would do some especially outrageous things to you. I am the Young Master of the Underworld, and my family has many tools like whips and handcuffs!"
"Really?"
"Will it hurt a lot?"
Wen Muxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was even a hint of... on her face...
Anticipation!
That's right, it was anticipation!
Seeing Wen Muxue's expression, Tang Yuancompletely gave up on acting.
Goodness, I was trying to scare you to see your terrified and delicate expression. What's with this look of anticipation on your face?!
"Young Master of the Underworld Gege~"
"What's wrong? Are you going back on your word?"
Wen Muxue saw Tang Yuan's slightly dejected expression. With a smile in her eyes, she deliberately leaned closer to Tang Yuan, her tone carrying a hint of charm and playfulness.
That single 'Gege' almost made Xiao Tang Yuan stand up on the spot.
"Go back on my word?"
"Whoever goes back on their word is a dog!"
Tang Yuan glared at Wen Muxue, stating emphatically.
"Hehe he..."
Wen Muxue looked at Tang Yuan's somewhat exasperated expression and suddenly found it very amusing. This was the first time she had gained the upper hand over Tang Yuan, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
As Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue were laughing and joking, the entire convoy had already entered the urban area of Hong Kong. When Tang Yuan looked back, he saw that outside the window was the brilliantly lit and splendid city nightscape, which could be described as extraordinarily enchanting.
"They all call you Director Tang. Are you the chairman of their company?"
As Tang Yuan was admiring the night view of Hong Kong, Wen Muxue's soft voice came from beside him.
"Yes."
"I acquired their company."
Tang Yuan nodded slightly, not concealing anything.
Upon hearing this, Wen Muxue's guess was confirmed.
What underworld family, what Young Master of the Underworld.
Wen Muxue had only been joking earlier, because in this country, evil can never truly gain power. If evil does gain power, there is only one outcome: it will be swept away, eliminated, and destroyed.
The Xiang family of Hong Kong, before Hong Kong's return, how overbearing they were.
But after Hong Kong's return, they still had to honestly retreat and were no longer as arrogant as before.
Of course, the Xiang family of Hong Kong is still a major power over many stars in the Hong Kongentertainment industry. After all, the Xiang family has developed in Hong Kong for many years, and their various connections are deeply intertwined. Even if they are not as influential as they once were, they are not something that those Hong Kong entertainment stars can contend with.
...
Having received Tang Yuan's answer, Wen Muxuestopped there, wisely choosing not to press further. Although she was filled with much curiosity about the man before her, sometimes excessive curiosity was not a good thing.
The topic ended, and the car fell silent.
At this moment, Tang Yuan, looking at the brilliant city view outside the window, had a profound look in his eyes.
Seeing Hong Kong, he couldn't help but recall the suffering and humiliation this country endured a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, the land was shattered, and the nation was precarious.
The divine land was fragmented and scarred.
As a former Earthling, in that world, China always stood at the pinnacle. How could it have such a humiliating history?
Prosperity was China's eternal synonym.
National self-confidence, spanning thousands of years, was etched into the bones of every Chinese person.
It was precisely for this reason that Tang Yuan felt such a deep-seated pain regarding that period of humiliating history.
Fortunately, this ancient civilization, which had been passed down for thousands of years, underwent a rebirth after enduring the tempering of blood and fire.
Therefore...
Tang Yuan felt genuine respect and admiration for those martyrs.
