"Hey! For that kind of thing, the top levels of Huaxia should have their own considerations. You have to trust the leaders of Huaxia."
Mr. Zhou spoke earnestly.
"Mm! For such matters, let them fuss however they like, it doesn't really matter. It's just a pity that it's absolutely impossible for them to succeed."
"If it were before, I might have given them some advice to avoid some detours. But now, I can't be bothered to talk to them."
"Sometimes, learning from one's mistakes is necessary. So, I hope you can understand, Mr. Zhou."
Yang Yan spoke in a calm tone, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment, then suddenly stared intently into Yang Yan's eyes:
"Alright, enough about that. Let me ask you, when on earth do you, young man, plan to marry Hanyun?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Yang Yan was suddenly stunned.
This matter…
It's really a bit hard to answer.
Although his current relationship with Zhou Hanyun was going well, and their feelings for each other were steadily warming, it still wasn't quite at the point of discussing marriage.
"Never mind! It's no big deal for young people to be carefree. You, looking like that, with such a distinguished status, one can tell you must have quite a few female friends out there."
"I'm just an old man with one foot in the grave. I won't meddle in you young people's business anymore."
"I just hope you can treat Hanyun well in the future. That girl grew up before my eyes, and ever since her father had an accident, she's been shouldering the entire Zhou Family by herself."
"All along, that girl has had a hard life. Meeting you now is truly her blessing."
"Every generation has its good fortune, I won't interfere too much, lest you feel uncomfortable seeing this old fellow."
"I told you, find us old folks a retirement place, you better hurry up!"
Mr. Zhou suddenly laughed as he finished speaking.
Yang Yan nodded gently:
"Don't worry, it will be settled soon. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Mr. Zhou also smiled contentedly:
"Alright, that's it! Go back and rest! I'm old, my body isn't up to it, and I'm very tired now."
Since Mr. Zhou was effectively seeing him out, Yang Yan obediently bid farewell and quietly returned to his room.
He lay on the bed, staring dazedly at the ceiling as his thoughts drifted away.
The matters of the Hidden World are complicated, but if carefully considered, they're actually quite simple.
The complexity lies in its numerous systems and paths.
And since it's different from the present world, lacking restraint, it appears more chaotic and disordered.
And those guys, their strength is outrageously powerful, even surpassing the Rule.
As for the simplicity, it's really simple.
In the Hidden World, the weak are prey to the strong, and strength is revered.
Simply put, whoever has the bigger fist holds the truth.
It's precisely this situation that has led many major countries in the modern world to focus on building their Hidden World strength.
"Ah! Chaotic Times are coming! Who knows how much longer the barrier between the present world and the Hidden World can last…"
Yang Yan suddenly sighed, feeling somewhat wistful, muttering softly.
Early the next morning, Yang Yan got up bright and early.
After moving his body a bit, he headed straight to the kitchen.
There are quite a few people at home, three little girls, two big girls, and two who aren't human…
Hmm!
I always feel the Yin outweighs the Yang in this house!
After Yang Yan had been busy for over an hour, a sumptuous breakfast was finally prepared.
Once the houseful of "girls" freshened up, everyone sat at the table and enthusiastically enjoyed the hearty breakfast crafted by Yang.
Due to Yang Yan's unique Secret Technique that erased the existence of Li Zheng and the Li Faction, everyone forgot about yesterday's events.
Frankly, such a means is quite against nature, and Yang Yan used it as a last resort; otherwise, the impact would have been too great.
You see, erasing a person's existence naturally requires modifying countless related factors.
Even Yang Yan wouldn't dare to go too far with such things.
At the very least, he wasn't willing to pay too high a price for two scumbags.
So he eventually took a more balanced approach.
The outcome was that Li Zheng and the Li Faction died in a car accident on the way to a banquet yesterday.
That's the greatest compromise he could make.
Otherwise, being serious, he could make it so these two never even existed.
Of course, if he did that, he would undoubtedly pay a considerable price.
"Are you going to that big bald-headed guy later?"
Zhou Hanyun asked Yang Yan abruptly.
Uh…
Yang Yan almost forgot about it until Zhou Hanyun mentioned it.
"Yeah, I have to head to that bald guy later; would you like to come with me?"
Yang Yan looked at Zhou Hanyun nonchalantly and asked with a smile.
Zhou Hanyun gently shook her head:
"Never mind, I won't go. Today I want to see if I can find any remedial classes for Dawn, as there are quite a bit of courses she missed. While there's nothing much happening during this period, I'll have her make up for the lessons first."
"Mm! Got it. Dawn's studies do indeed need focus."
When it comes to education, Yang Yan never disagrees.
Initially, there was Zhou Hanyu at home, but her courses are tight lately; otherwise, she'd have been enough to teach Dawn.
Just as Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun were discussing where to send Dawn for tutoring, they heard the sound of parking from outside.
Yang Yan glanced towards the door, then said with a smile:
"Looks like the bald guy's matter is really urgent! I remember telling him to come at one o'clock. What time is it now, and he's already here."
Zhou Hanyun lightly laughed:
"Hehe! You don't know how much money is lost when those in real estate stop working for a day. After eating, you should go first! He must be very anxious by now."
Having dealt with real estate herself, Zhou Hanyun naturally understood the bald man's urgency.
Putting herself in his shoes, she couldn't help but urge Yang Yan.
"His issue can't be solved in a day or two, at most just alleviated. Ah, I'll go take a look first!"
After saying that, Yang Yan stood up, wiped his mouth, and continued:
"I won't be back for lunch, don't wait for me."
Upon reaching outside, a large Mercedes was already parked there.
But, no one had stepped out of the car.
Probably thinking it wasn't time yet, they didn't want to disturb Yang Yan.
Yang Yan glanced at the car, then walked over, gently knocking on the driver's side window.
As the window rolled down, a formally dressed man inside looked at Yang Yan, asking:
"What do you want?"
What a question…
Seems the bald guy didn't come today, just sent someone over!
"Are you waiting for someone here?"
Yang Yan asked with a smile.
