"Girl, come here."

Ruan Yiliang glanced at Qin Yang and Luo Caijie standing behind Ruan Xinxue and said.

Ruan Xinxue nodded and followed Ruan Yiliang into a room.

"Girl, what's really going on?"

Ruan Yiliang stared at Ruan Xinxue and asked.

"Second Uncle, why would someone of your rank come to the scene, is it because of Yang Buqun's status?"

Ruan Xinxue frowned slightly and asked.

"Partly, well, that kid is a scion of the Yang Family. However, the main reason is for you. You're the old master's beloved. I heard that World Jewelry Group and your company were having a dinner here, so I hurried over."

Ruan Yiliang said.

This is not a trivial matter. The Yang Family is not a weak family in the Capital City and would never allow such a disgraceful thing to happen to one of their own. If the old master of the Yang Family were to find out, he would certainly be furious.

"Alright, tell me what exactly happened. How did that kid from the Yang family end up in such a miserable state?"

Ruan Yiliang asked.

"It's like this, Second Uncle..."

Ruan Xinxue then recounted the entire incident to Ruan Yiliang.

"That bastard Yang Buqun, he actually tried to get you drunk?!"

Upon hearing Ruan Xinxue's account, Ruan Yiliang's face immediately darkened.

The sons of some prominent families often engage in such activities, but Ruan Xinxue is a member of the Ruan Family, the apple of the old master's eye. Yang Buqun's actions were a direct slap in the face to the Ruan Family.

"It was Qin Yang who saved me."

Ruan Xinxue nodded and said.

"Was it that young man standing with you just now?"

Ruan Yiliang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes."

Ruan Xinxue nodded.

"Girl, in such a situation, you didn't call for Second Uncle, but instead sought that young man's help first. Is it because my presence is too low, or is someone's presence in your heart too high?"

Ruan Yiliang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked while staring at Ruan Xinxue.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xinxue's face flushed red.

At this moment, Ruan Yiliang had already turned around and stepped out of the room.

Ruan Yiliang stood with an authoritative demeanor in front of Qin Yang.

As the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Ruan Yiliang exuded a strong aura. He didn't speak, just scrutinized Qin Yang with his gaze.

Anyone else might feel awkward under Ruan Yiliang's aura, but it was completely ineffective against Qin Yang, who had emperors of the Mortal Realm show deference to him in his previous life.

Qin Yang calmly assessed Ruan Yiliang.

"Was what happened in the room your doing?"

After a moment of eye contact, Ruan Yiliang suddenly spoke, asking in a low voice.

"Yes."

Qin Yang nodded, assuming Ruan Xinxue had already informed Ruan Yiliang.

"Do you know that Yang Buqun is the chairman of World Jewelry Group, a star entrepreneur in the city?"

Ruan Yiliang's face darkened as he spoke.

"I know."

Qin Yang frowned, responding succinctly.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing?"

Ruan Xinxue tugged at Ruan Yiliang's sleeve, unsure why her Second Uncle was suddenly targeting Qin Yang.

"Do you also know that he is the son of Deputy Mayor Yang?"

Ruan Yiliang ignored Ruan Xinxue, continuing with a stern face.

"I know."

Qin Yang frowned even deeper.

"Then are you aware that he is a descendant of the Yang Family in the Capital City?"

Ruan Yiliang's demeanor became even more imposing.

"I am aware."

Qin Yang looked at Ruan Yiliang, his voice turning cold.

"You know everything, so why did you still do it?!"

Ruan Yiliang shouted coldly.

"Why do you think? I did it because it needed to be done."

Qin Yang coldly replied. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was Ruan Xinxue's Second Uncle, Qin Yang wouldn't even bother to talk further.

"Are you aware that even without the Yang Family using their connections, this kind of action could land you in jail for over a decade, and if the Yang Family uses a bit of influence, you wouldn't even know how you'd die in prison? Plus, I could arrest you right now."

Ruan Yiliang's voice grew deeper as he spoke.

"Ha, even if you bring in your minions, they won't be able to stop me."

Mockery flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he disdainfully replied.

"Minions?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yiliang's face turned black. In his many years as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, no one had ever referred to his subordinates as mere minions.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing? You don't care about me, I'm going to tell Grandpa..."

Ruan Xinxue looked at the two confronting each other, tugging on Ruan Yiliang's sleeve.

"Let me ask you one last thing, do you like my family's girl?"

Ruan Yiliang's expression turned even colder as he spoke in a deep voice.

"I do."

Qin Yang's expression was peculiar as he nodded. Why did this guy suddenly jump to such a topic?

Seeing Qin Yang admit he liked her right in front of Ruan Yiliang, Ruan Xinxue blushed.

"What if I don't agree?"

The aura around Ruan Yiliang grew more intense. Those familiar with Secretary Ruan knew he was about to lose his temper.

"I don't need your approval."

Qin Yang frowned and spoke bluntly. Then, right in front of Ruan Yiliang, he took hold of Ruan Xinxue's fair, slender hand and pulled her to his side.

"Ruan Sister's consent is all I need."

Qin Yang's gaze directly met Ruan Yiliang's as he spoke calmly.

Ruan Yiliang's face remained dark as he coldly stared at Qin Yang, the two of them locked in a standoff.

For a moment, the surrounding people dared not even breathe heavily.

"Haha, young man, you've got guts. Well done, if he dares to bully Xue'Er, then disabling him is just right."

In the tense atmosphere, Ruan Yiliang suddenly smiled, his face no longer gloomy, and his gaze at Qin Yang even carried a touch of appreciation.

Qin Yang's eyebrows raised. So the earlier conversation was Ruan Yiliang testing him.

"Second Uncle, you're too much."

Ruan Xinxue glared at Ruan Yiliang. The act was so convincing that even someone as familiar with her Second Uncle as she was almost fooled. She truly thought her Second Uncle intended to oppose Qin Yang.

"A real man shouldn't be scared by my little aura. I wouldn't feel at ease letting you be with him otherwise."

Ruan Yiliang chuckled and then turned his gaze back to Qin Yang.

"Qin Yang, isn't it? You've passed my test now. Take good care of my girl." Ruan Yiliang said.

"I will!"

Qin Yang nodded, holding Ruan Xinxue's hand even tighter.

"If I ever find out you're mistreating her, I won't let you off easily."

Ruan Yiliang's expression turned serious as he spoke in a stern voice.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, Qin Yang treats me very well."

Ruan Xinxue smiled softly.

"You, already siding with him and you two aren't even official yet."

Ruan Yiliang joked.

"Second Uncle, won't this matter cause you much trouble?"

Ruan Xinxue blushed, then asked. After all, with Yang Buqun ending up in such a state by Qin Yang's doing, handling the situation might be quite troublesome.

"Don't worry, girl. The feud between the Ruan Family and the Yang Family is settled now. I'm sure the old master will back you up."

Ruan Yiliang said solemnly, implying that the old master wouldn't let it slide so easily since someone dared to target his little princess.
