As Dawn departed on the hearse into the distance, Yang Yan finally turned his head to glance at the group of stunned crematorium workers beside him and coldly remarked to the elder standing respectfully next to him:
"That guy isn't suited to work at the funeral home."
The elder nodded, then subtly signaled to his subordinate, who promptly dialed a number on his phone.
Yang Yan then continued:
"Close down the real estate agency where Dawn used to work. Especially that fat woman named Hong inside, she's not suitable for any job."
Hearing this rather cryptic remark, the elder cast a puzzled glance at Yang Yan.
However, after a slight hesitation, he still nodded toward his subordinate, who then made a second phone call.
"Let's go! I'm feeling a bit uneasy."
Yang Yan said to Zhou Hanyun, somewhat disinterestedly.
"Okay!"
Zhou Hanyun nodded gently, then took two little girls and followed Yang Yan away.
After Yang Yan and his party completely disappeared from sight, someone asked the elder:
"Master Wu, that person has already left. What should we do next?"
The elder pondered for a moment:
"First, make arrangements for that old man's funeral affairs, and ensure that the little girl is well taken care of. Remember to inform everyone to be more respectful. Also, handle everything he instructed. Assign someone to specifically oversee this matter, keep a close eye on it, and ensure no mistakes are made."
"Master Wu, who exactly is that person? Such a big deal? The Moonlight Emperor... where did such a powerful figure emerge from?"
A relatively young person approached the elder and whispered.
"Xiaodao, don't let me hear you say such things again. Just remember to always maintain an infinite level of respect towards that person."
After saying this, the elder walked away.
The long-unseen young master had suddenly called earlier, specifically instructing them to be at Yang Yan's disposal here.
This matter had even alarmed the family's old master.
Knowing the identity of this man, how could he dare not take it seriously?
After the elder relayed the instructions, the entire Imperial Capital was stirred.
The Cui Family, a top-tier aristocratic family in the Imperial Capital, suddenly organized a grand funeral. Many people were unsure of what had happened to the Cui Family.
Some even suspected that the old master of the Cui Family had passed away.
Meanwhile, a somewhat well-known property agency in the Imperial Capital was indefinitely closed down for irregular charges.
Of course, nobody paid attention to such a trivial matter.
Back at the Splendid Hotel, Yang Yan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He couldn't help but think of that dear friend who died for him.
That guy clearly knew he was heading towards certain death, yet he resolutely sent his daughter away, leaving no clues behind.
Originally, he thought everything was properly arranged, but now it seemed the situation was far worse than he imagined.
When members of other prominent families attended the funeral at the Cui Family, they found it unbelievable that the deceased wasn't someone from the Cui Family.
However, upon learning that the deceased had an indescribable connection with a legendary figure, everyone felt at ease.
The Imperial Capital is not like East Sea City; as the capital of Huaxia, many hidden aristocratic families have bases here.
They all knew what the legendary Moonlight Emperor represented.
The result was that more people attended the funeral, making the scene even grander.
They didn't care whether Yang Yan was present or not; the reputation preceded him. It's always good to establish a benevolent connection at the outset.
The funeral lasted three days, and during that time, Yang Yan also came by.
After offering incense to the old lady and comforting Dawn with a few words, he left.
Two days later, Dawn came alone to the Splendid Hotel to find Yang Yan.
However, the hotel wouldn't let her in.
Just as she planned to wait at the hotel's entrance for Yang Yan, someone immediately went inside to negotiate.
Before long, the person who wouldn't allow Dawn in hurriedly came out to apologize to her.
Even the manager of the Splendid Hotel personally appeared to respectfully apologize repeatedly to this seemingly ordinary little girl.
After a somewhat minor series of complications, Dawn successfully reached the door of Yang Yan's room.
She took a deep breath and nervously knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Came a melodious voice from inside.
Opening the door was Zhou Hanyu, who looked at Dawn and asked in confusion:
"May I ask who you are looking for?"
Seeing someone who seemed familiar yet never met before, Dawn weakly said:
"Uh, is Mr. Yang staying here?"
"Mr. Yang? You mean Yang Yan? He is staying here."
Zhou Hanyu said.
It was at this moment that Zhou Hanyun emerged.
Upon seeing Dawn standing outside, she hurriedly brought her inside:
"Dawn, why have you come? Is everything settled with your grandmother?"
"It's all taken care of, thank you, sister."
Dawn managed to squeeze out a rare smile.
"Sis, who is she?"
Zhou Hanyu asked in confusion.
"She…" Zhou Hanyun hesitated before saying:
"She will be a part of our family from now on. Come, let me introduce you."
Zhou Hanyun pointed at Zhou Hanyu:
"Dawn, her name is Zhou Hanyu, and she is my sister."
Then she pointed at Dawn, saying to Zhou Hanyu:
"Her name is Dawn, and she will be living with us from now on."
As Zhou Hanyun busied herself introducing the two girls, Yang Yan also came out.
Upon seeing Dawn, he was initially stunned, then smiled and said:
"Dawn, you've come!"
"Yes, I've come. From now on, I'll follow whatever Mr. Yang instructs me to do. And about that day, when you asked if I feared death, well, I am very afraid of dying."
Upon hearing Dawn's words, Yang Yan laughed immediately.
He walked directly up to Dawn, smiling as he said:
"Remember, don't say that again. You are unique, you are noble. As long as I am here, no one in this world can harm you."
"From today, you are my own daughter, the daughter of Moonlight."
By the end, Yang Yan's expression was unusually serious, as if making a solemn vow to someone.
"Daddy, will this young lady be staying with us too from now on?"
Cai'Er asked sweetly, looking at Dawn suspiciously.
At some point, she and Ruyi had come out in their pajamas.
Yang Yan nodded with a smile:
"Yes! She will be your sister from now on. You two must listen to her obediently!"
Both Cai'Er and Ruyi eagerly nodded their heads.
The morning passed in a joyous atmosphere.
It seemed that Dawn had stepped out of the shadow of her grandmother's death.
Though all these changes felt like a dream to her, they also seemed as natural as water flowing over stones.
Yang Yan sat on the sofa in the hall, watching Dawn attentively answer Zhou Hanyu's questions, and couldn't help but think of that friend with whom he shared life and death.
In his tiger-like eyes, there was even a glimmer of tears.
