Yang Yan didn't speak, silently listening to Mr. Yan's narration.
The old man had sunk deep into his memories, sighed slightly, and continued:
"I still remember, it was around that time I joined Hongmen too. You have to understand, during that era, Huaxia had just experienced chaos, and all industries were waiting to be rejuvenated."
"And during that catastrophe, our Hongmen contributed significantly to Huaxia. Especially Wen, he truly dedicated a lot."
"For years, he had been learning the skill of identifying jade with Mr. Yushan. Who was Mr. Yushan? He was a remnant of the Man Qing, a real Prince."
"Originally, if Wen had only followed Mr. Yushan, he could live a comfortable life. But because we needed money, he went alone to places like Myanmar to help us procure jade to exchange for money."
"Even after all these years, I still can't forget how Wen went to the deep mountains to find good jade and would immediately bring it to me once he found it."
"Now the hard days are over, times are better, yet someone dared to harm Wen."
"This is absolutely unacceptable to me! No matter who that person is or what motives he has, I will definitely find him."
"I want him to know how serious the consequences of such actions are."
Mr. Yan grew more and more angry as he spoke, the aura around him surging.
"What does this have to do with me? Did you keep me here just to tell me this?"
Yang Yan squinted at Mr. Yan, asking confusedly.
Mr. Yan wiped at the corners of his eyes, laughing softly:
"I know you're not an ordinary person. Yesterday Wen called me, aside from the girl he wants to recruit, Wen told me you're definitely from the Hidden World."
"So what if I am from the Hidden World? What if I'm not?"
Yang Yan replied indifferently.
He didn't deliberately hide his identity from the Hidden World, nor did he have any intention to publicize it.
"If you're from the Hidden World, after Wen's matter is resolved, we want to entrust you with a task. If you're not, forget it."
The old man looked seriously at Yang Yan.
He wanted a definite answer from Yang Yan.
At the same time, he wanted a satisfactory answer.
"No."
Without thinking, Yang Yan directly replied.
Only if his brain were damaged would he agree to help Mr. Yan with anything.
No matter what the task entails, he had no interest.
"Alas! We'll talk about it after Wen's matter is resolved! Now, let's discuss Wen's issue."
The old man felt somewhat helpless seeing Yang Yan's straightforward refusal.
"You say Wen's matter isn't an accident, so who exactly would act against him?"
Mr. Yan asked Yang Yan with suspicion, murder flashing in his eyes.
"I think I know who did it. However, I doubt they would admit it."
"But it doesn't matter. Whether they admit it or not, as long as I believe it, that's enough."
Yang Yan thought for a moment, smiling as he spoke.
"Are you suggesting that Wei Ying is the one responsible?"
Mr. Yan frowned and said:
"I've already investigated the incident that happened yesterday. Although Wei Ying and his people were at fault, after you left yesterday afternoon, Wei Ying stayed in the secret room and hasn't come out since."
Yang Yan sneered:
"Ha! I don't care if he did it or not, nor do I know if he did it, but reclaiming what's mine shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Mr. Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, suspiciously asking:
"Are you talking about the Emperor's Blood Jade? Do you have a way to find it?"
Yang Yan nodded without hesitation and replied:
"When I left yesterday, I tampered with that piece of jade."
"No matter where they hide it, it won't escape my pursuit."
"However, I've already warned you, if my jade is indeed with Wei Ying, don't blame me for killing him."
"Anyway, I find him quite displeasing. Since he gave me a reason to kill him, I certainly won't be courteous."
After speaking, Yang Yan stood up and walked straight out.
"What about Wen? Can you wake him up?"
Seeing Yang Yan about to leave, Mr. Yan quickly followed two steps, asking expectantly.
Yang Yan stopped but did not turn back:
"I've removed the needle from Mr. Situ; what's left depends on his own will to live."
"After all, he isn't as young as us. I've done my best!"
After finishing, Yang Yan did not give Mr. Yan a chance to speak, and left directly.
"Do you really believe that guy is from the Hidden World?"
Hu came over, frowned, and asked.
"Yes! Isn't it said that the Hidden World's upper class doesn't allow Hidden World people to appear in reality? How can that guy still swagger around here?"
Brother Long immediately voiced his doubts.
The brothers certainly didn't believe Yang Yan was from the Hidden World.
In their view, people from the Hidden World often appear as extraordinary figures.
At least those he had encountered were like that.
As for Yang Yan, he seemed almost indistinguishable from an ordinary young person, might know some medical skills, but there was no sign of any connection to the Hidden World.
"Don't underestimate that young man, Wen wouldn't deceive me about such matters."
"Moreover, you brothers know, although Wen isn't one of our Hongmen people, he has always played the role of the White Fan."
"And starting from earlier, I let you continuously probe him, you should have sensed he genuinely didn't regard you."
"One could even say he doesn't regard us at all."
"To manage this in front of us, how could he be a simple person!"
Mr. Yan stated calmly, his eyes glimmering with intelligence.
"But... he seems too young!"
Hu hesitated and said:
"The Hidden World experts we've met, who among them isn't aged?"
"And the young ones, many don't even compare in strength to my brother and me."
Saying it, Hu appeared displeased.
Mr. Yan laughed helplessly:
"Ah, if you could be as calm as Long someday, your strength would certainly not grow this slowly."
...
"Where are we going now?"
Outside the hospital, Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but ask Yang Yan.
"To take back what's mine! That fool really thinks my stuff is so easy to take?"
Yang Yan mocked.
"Ah! You did something to the jade yesterday? Does that mean you anticipated this?"
Zhou Hanyun frowned.
Her words carried some hostility.
