Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 79: Consideration

Yang Chen said lightly, then casually threw the tall man's burly body directly onto the Passat sedan parked on the side of the road!

The sturdy steel plate of the German car made the tall man extremely uncomfortable. The violent impact was like a heavy hammer, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood!

"Captain!"

The other several men in suits were shocked to see the tall man easily defeated, completely unscathed. They hurried over to check on the tall man's injuries, then looked at Yang Chen with dilemma, not knowing what to do.

The tall man took a few deep breaths, his eyes showing a mixture of fear and unwillingness as he looked at Yang Chen not far away. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he trembled, "Let's... let's go!"

The men under him felt relieved and quickly opened the car door to escape. They started the car and drove away from the villa as if their lives depended on it.

Yang Chen didn't chase after them. After all, there was Wang Mama, who had been frightened, at home. Moreover, these people obviously had extraordinary backgrounds. Unless absolutely necessary, Yang Chen didn't want to stir up trouble. Through years of ups and downs, Yang Chen deeply understood that although he could accomplish many things that seemed impossible to others, the consequences could harm those around him. He didn't want to see that happen, so he learned to "tolerate."

Of course, human patience also has its limits.

When he walked into the villa, Wang Mama was indeed sitting on the floor wiping her tears. Seeing Yang Chen come in, she stood up and grabbed his hand anxiously, "Master, are you okay?!"

Looking at Wang Mama's worried tears, Yang Chen felt a warmth in his heart, "Of course, I'm fine. I just made Wang Mama worry, I'm sorry."

"Master, don't say that. It's clearly those people with bad attitudes. Why couldn't they just talk things out? They acted as if they were the lord of the heavens. It made me angry too."

"Don't worry, if they come again, Wang Mama, you don't have to worry about anything. Just call me directly. They won't dare to do anything." Yang Chen said firmly.

Wang Mama smiled and sighed, "I'm actually a little aggrieved, but I'm more worried about you, Master. Did you accidentally offend someone important? They seem like people from government departments. When the old lady was still around, she used to say, 'The common people shouldn't fight with officials.' How can ordinary folks compete with government officials? If Master really has trouble, you can tell Miss Ruoxi. She knows some elders in the officialdom. Maybe they can help."

Yang Chen shook his head, "I didn't offend anyone, and I don't know why they came. Don't tell Ruoxi about this matter. I'll handle it myself."

Wang Mama, seeing that Yang Chen didn't want to say more, went into the kitchen to prepare dinner as usual. Life had to go on as normal.

Yang Chen walked a few steps in the hall, pondered for a moment, and finally dialed a number...

The phone was quickly answered, and Zhang Hu's familiar rough voice came through, "Mr. Yang, it's rare for you to give me a call, haha."

Yang Chen wasn't in the mood for jokes. He said directly, "Zhang Hu, I need your help this time. I need some clever and capable brothers to help me protect a place and a person discreetly."

There was a sudden pause from Zhang Hu on the other end of the phone, then he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Yang, Miss Rose wants to talk to you..."

"Rose? Is she with you?" Yang Chen was taken aback, then he smiled bitterly. He had deliberately avoided Rose in this matter by asking Zhang Hu for help, but unexpectedly, he ended up confronting her!

Rose's voice still sounded lazy and charming. Even though Yang Chen couldn't see her, he could imagine Rose at this moment, smiling victoriously like a woman who had caught her lover red-handed.

"Honey, why didn't you just ask me directly for help? Why bother asking Zhang Hu?" Rose's words were straightforward, leaving Yang Chen momentarily speechless. He replied with some emotional turmoil, "I didn't want to bother you, my dear Rose. I heard you've been busy dealing with the Western Alliance Society these days, so I didn't want to trouble you with trivial matters."

"You shouldn't say it like that. As long as it's something concerning my husband, I'll make time for it, no matter how busy I am. So, tell me, what do you need people to do?" Rose asked playfully.

Yang Chen knew that this woman was clever and wouldn't be easily deceived, so he simply said, "I've been having some trouble lately, and today it even came directly to where I'm currently staying. I was wondering if you could arrange for a few clever and capable individuals to keep watch around my house, to ensure that my family members aren't harmed. Of course, the most important thing is to be able to contact me at any crucial moment."

"Oh? Is it the place where you and your main wife live together? You never wanted to tell me before, where exactly is it?" Rose's voice sounded mischievous.

Yang Chen thought he couldn't just reveal it casually, but at this moment, he had no choice. He thought she would eventually find out, so he generously disclosed it.

After listening, Rose giggled, "Those who can live in Longjing Garden are prestigious figures in Zhonghai. Now that you've said it, I feel pressured being your mistress."

"Alright, stop teasing me. We'll have a chance to meet in the future, but not now. I'm afraid I might be sawed in half by a chainsaw at midnight..." Yang Chen said helplessly.

"I don't want to meet anyway, it's too embarrassing." Rose vetoed it, "I'll see you when I want to. This is something between women; men aren't allowed to meddle."

Worriedly, Yang Chen said, "Rose, darling, you won't resort to underworld tactics, will you?"

Rose burst into laughter, without any restraint. It seemed like she was already trembling with laughter on the other end of the phone. "Darling, you're so funny. How dare I? At most, I'll just try to gain a little space as a concubine from the main wife. I'm still trying to please her. If I really dared to take action, wouldn't you just divorce me..."

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly and didn't mention it further. After discussing the matter of protecting Wang Mama with Rose, he promised to visit her in a couple of days and then hung up the phone.

As for the hospital, Yang Chen wasn't worried. Regardless of whether these people knew about Lin Ruoxi's relationship with him, even if they did, they probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly. After all, Lin Ruoxi was a well-known female entrepreneur with connections to government departments. It wasn't easy to mess with her.

The next day, nearing noon, at the West Railway Station in Zhonghai, the train's whistle sounded loudly as an old train slowly entered the station.

On the platform, Yang Chen looked calm while Chen Bo beside him was full of anticipation, creating a stark contrast.

Yang Chen smoked a cigarette, his eyes slightly sleepy as he sat on a wooden chair. He asked Chen Bo beside him, "This is the train you mentioned, right? You're not mistaken."

"I'm not mistaken. I absolutely wouldn't make a mistake," Chen Bo said excitedly. "It's my sister's first time traveling so far. Our family is worried about her coming to Zhonghai. How could I possibly make a mistake?"

"Your sister is studying at a university in Sichuan Province, right?"

Chen Bo answered somewhat despondently, "My sister actually got accepted to the Law School in the capital, but considering taking care of our parents, she chose to stay in the province for university. However, she receives scholarships every year and has good grades!"

"You and your sister are both very studious," Yang Chen chuckled. "Unlike me, who never even went to school."

Chen Bo looked puzzled, "But Yang Chen, aren't you a graduate of Harvard University? How can you say you never went to school?"

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly and didn't explain. He couldn't exactly say that the diploma was forcibly given to him by the female principal to please him. If he really wanted that kind of diploma, he could have a whole truckload of them.

Before long, the doors of the train carriages opened, and hurried passengers began to disembark, carrying their luggage, and then looking around as they headed out of the train station.

Chen Bo stretched his neck, anxiously searching for his sister's figure. When most of the people had left, he finally smiled with relief and said, "She's finally here!"

"Brother!" A crisp voice, filled with genuine joy, came from a compartment not far away.

Yang Chen stood up and looked over to see a girl with her hair tied in a ponytail, slightly messy strands framing her face. She was wearing a yellow tailored fabric shirt and loose brown linen pants, carrying only an old cloth travel bag, running over.

Upon closer inspection, Yang Chen noticed that the girl was slender, bearing a strong resemblance to Chen Bo, with similarly fair skin and delicate features.

Due to the heat, tiny beads of sweat dotted her innocent face, but she still wore a pure and natural smile, exuding a freshness and simplicity not often found in city girls, which was quite refreshing.

Chen Bo warmly hugged his younger sister, then proceeded to inquire about her journey and family matters, talking for more than half an hour before finally stopping.

Suddenly realizing that Yang Chen was still standing there, Chen Bo chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, I got too excited. It's been over a year since I last saw my sister."

"You two look very alike. Are you twins?" Yang Chen felt that if Chen Bo were a girl, they would definitely be an enchanting pair of sisters.

Chen Bo affectionately touched his sister's pretty face and said with some pride, "Relatives and friends all say that, but I was actually born a few years earlier. Still, we get along better than most twins."

"Brother, who is this big brother?" The girl looked a bit timid as she cautiously asked while looking at Yang Chen.

Chen Bo quickly introduced, "This is my friend and colleague, Yang Chen, Big Brother Yang."

"Hello, Big Brother Yang, I'm Chen Rong." Chen Rong blushed a little, whether from running or shyness, it was unclear.

"Don't be nervous. Today, I'll be your driver. I'm your brother's friend, not his boss. You're showing such respect, but I haven't received any red envelopes, nor can I give your brother a raise." Yang Chen said jokingly.

Chen Rong chuckled, "I'm already grateful that Big Brother Yang came to pick me up."

Yang Chen's humorous attitude relaxed the little girl. The three of them chatted and laughed as they leisurely walked towards the exit. Not far ahead, Yang Chen caught sight of a familiar figure standing on the platform, wearing a blue dress, elegant and exceptional – his boss, Mo Qianni.

Mo Qianni didn't notice Yang Chen and the others at all, seemingly waiting for someone with a heavy heart.

Since he had to see off the Chen siblings, Yang Chen didn't plan on going over to greet her for no reason. After taking a glance, he didn't dwell on it.

Inside the car, Chen Rong looked somewhat intimidated, observing everything in the car with a mix of curiosity and caution. But before long, she lost interest in these new things. Riding a hard seat on the train was exhausting, especially after such a long journey. Chen Rong felt her eyelids getting heavy, and within minutes, she fell asleep leaning against the backseat of the car.

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Yang Chen asked Chen Bo softly, "What job is your sister planning to find in Zhonghai?"

Chen Bo looked at his sister sleeping peacefully and sighed, "Let her take her time to find one. I'm also looking for a job myself. Jobs that don't require diplomas and still pay well are becoming scarce. I don't want to let Rong work where I do. I want to find her a safer and cleaner place."

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I have a place to recommend to your sister. The pay might not be high, but it's definitely safe. Would you consider it?"
