Long Shaofeng spoke about his older brother with an air of arrogance. "You know about Longmen, right? Let me tell you, woman, he is my elder brother. Are you scared now? Who in Ning Cheng would dare to offend someone from Longmen?"
Ye Ya was utterly disinclined to engage with him. The mention of Long Shaotang, that scoundrel, made her stomach turn. She had saved him out of goodwill, only for that man to take advantage of her kindness.
Long Shaofeng watched as she completely disregarded Longmen and his handsome, charming brother. How could he swallow that insult?
"Hey, woman, why don’t you say something? Didn’t you just say you wanted me to help notify your people? Come on, spill it," Long Shaofeng insisted, his chatter clearly stemming from boredom. The more Ye Ya ignored him, the more he wanted to talk.
"No need. I’m not interested in your brother, and I don’t need your help. My husband will be here soon; he will definitely come to rescue me, so don’t bother," Ye Ya replied curtly. Compared to that, she had no desire to provoke Long Shaotang again. She disliked the way he looked at her, as if she were his prey; that man made her feel dangerous.
"Oh? You have a husband? I couldn’t tell," Long Shaofeng said, now even more curious. After being cooped up for two days and finally getting a chance to chat with someone, how could he possibly resist?
Ye Ya sighed, feeling increasingly anxious. Had Chen Chen slept well last night? Would Fu Wan Jing become impatient and resort to giving her some sleeping pills just to keep her quiet?
"Hey, why the long face? Spill it! I bet my brother will come to bail me out today; really no need for help," Long Shaofeng asked again.
"How can you help? Can you bring my daughter back? I wonder how she’s doing now. People like you are always looking down on others; do you even understand?" Ye Ya shot back, giving Long Shaofeng a disdainful glance. As a rich second-generation heir, he was just another reminder of the class divide she despised. She had to make herself stronger.
"What do you mean by looking down on others? Woman, you need to be responsible for your words! Tell me who took your daughter; once I’m out of here, I’ll gather some men and get her back for you!" Long Shaofeng exclaimed dramatically, ready for a fight at the mere mention of injustice.
Seeing his eagerness made Ye Ya smile bitterly. "I didn’t expect you to be so righteous. But forget it; I can’t really start a fight over this. After all, we’re still family; everything will be fine once my husband returns."
"Fool!" Long Shaofeng thought to himself as he realized she was rejecting his offer for help. What else could he say but that she must be out of her mind?
"Long Shaofeng, it's time to go; someone is here to bail you out." A police officer entered and unlocked the cell door.
"Hey, woman, do you really not need my help? What’s your husband’s number?" Long Shaofeng persisted.
Ye Ya shook her head, wanting nothing more than to sever ties with anyone from Longmen. "No thanks. Just don’t go causing trouble once you're out." She had no desire to waste any more words on this spoiled young master.
As Long Shaofeng stepped outside, he saw his elder brother leaning against the wall with a weary expression that suggested he was ready to settle scores later. However, after seeing that face so many times before, Long Shaofeng had grown accustomed to it and was immune to its intimidation.
He approached casually and said with a light tone, "Brother, you came at just the right time! Can you think of a way to bail out that woman inside? I have no idea what trouble she got into."
"Just mind your own business. If you keep causing trouble, don't expect any pocket money next month." Long Shaotang felt a headache coming on. He had no way to deal with this little troublemaker; the kid was just too clever, yet he refused to study, always spouting off about how the underworld relied on brains and that education was useless.
Thugs weren't scary; what was truly frightening was a thug with brains, like Long Second Young Master.
"Sigh, that stupid woman actually looked grateful. When I told her I was the big boss of Longmen, she acted all dismissive. It infuriated me," Long Shaofeng complained, trailing behind. Long Shaotang suddenly stopped in his tracks; there was only one woman in Quan Ning City who could provoke such disdain.
Not paying attention, Long Shaofeng bumped into him. "Bro, why did you stop all of a sudden?"
"I'm going to help you check on the person you want to bail out." With that, Long Shaotang turned back toward the police station.
"What? Bro, you agreed to help me bail that woman out?" Long Shaofeng followed eagerly, looking pleased as punch.
After all, Long Shaotang was the boss of Longmen. No matter how arrogant the police were, they wouldn't dare cross him; otherwise, how would they maintain peace in Ning Cheng? It would only make life harder for those working in law enforcement.
Long Shaotang glanced at the person locked inside. The woman sat on the ground looking dejected, a stark contrast to the fierce demeanor of Ye Ya when she faced him.
"What did she do that requires bail?" Long Shaotang asked, though his tone suggested he already intended to secure her release.
"They didn't specify what she did; they just said she was a thief. But the victim hasn't shown up yet, so they decided to keep her for a couple more days," came the reply.
"How much is the bail? Name your price; I need to take her with me."
Listening to his brother's words, Long Shaofeng took the keys from the officer. "Did you hear that? Hurry up and process it; we're taking her."
He hummed a tune as he walked back, looking smug and self-satisfied. "Hey, woman! I'm here to rescue you—surprise!" He waved the keys in his hand.
"What are you doing back here?" Ye Ya frowned; this young master shouldn't be messing around.
"I'm back to save you. Come on; whatever happens is on me." Long Shaofeng heroically opened the door just as a police officer walked in. "Miss Ye, you're free to go; Mr. Long has taken care of your bail."
Seeing Long Shaotang's half-smile expression, Ye Ya couldn't tell if she should be happy or worried. "Don't think I'll thank you for this. I already paid you five thousand for my hospital bill that day; consider us even."
Ye Ya turned to the side and walked away.
Look, only this woman would dare to be so arrogant and ignore him.
Long Shaofeng was stunned. "Big Brother, she's the one who took you to the hospital that night? You actually know her?" He felt that she had such a strong personality. "Should we help her get her daughter back? She said her daughter was taken away."
This was the pain in Long Shaotang's heart. Ye Ya actually had Lu Tianyang's child. That damn Lu Tianyang! How could he let her come to a place like this and say she committed some theft? Stealing his sister's? Did she even need to do such things?
"Ye Ya, is this how you treat your savior?" Long Shaotang was ignored, filled with resentment.
"Thank you," Ye Ya glanced back at him and sincerely said a word of thanks. But after that, there was no further conversation. Long Shaotang thought she should at least say something like inviting him to dinner as a gesture of gratitude.
"Shaofeng, you go back by yourself. I'll take her." Without caring whether Ye Ya agreed or not, he directly shoved her into his car.
"Hey, Long Shaotang, stop making decisions for me!" Ye Ya was forced into his car, leaving Long Shaofeng behind. Long Second Young Master was so angry his face turned green. But seeing his brother like this, was he actually interested in someone else's wife?
Thinking of this possibility, the Second Young Master took a deep breath.
In the car, Ye Ya turned her head away from him, her mind occupied with Chen Chen. But in this situation, going to the Lu Family wouldn’t yield any results; they wouldn’t let her take Chen Chen back.
"Hey, tell me what's going on. I can help you. Who took your child away? I can bring people to get them back." Alright, Long Shaotang admitted that his approach was somewhat rough. For people like them living on the edge, it all depended on whose fists were stronger.
"No need; I can handle this myself." She really didn’t want to get involved with him.
"If you could handle it well, would they have sent someone to the police station? Lu Tianyang is useless. Ye Ya, divorce him and come with me; it’s definitely better than being with him." Long Shaotang slowed down the car.
"Do you have no shame? If you're sick, go get treatment! Long Shaotang, let me out of the car; I can go back by myself."
Long Shaotang smiled. "You want to go back by yourself? This is a highway; are you sure you can flag down a car? Are you sure you have money on you?"
Ye Ya gritted her teeth in frustration; he had hit the nail on the head—she didn’t have a single cent on her and didn’t even have her phone with her.
The car finally drove back to Yiju Mountain Villa. Just as she got out, she suddenly saw Lu Tianyang. She thought she was seeing things; wasn't he still in America? How did he come back?
Lu Tianyang had tried calling Ye Ya several times, but her phone was off. He also called home, but no one answered. Worried that something might have happened to her, he signed the contract and took the fastest flight back.
As a result, he saw this woman getting out of Long Shaotang's car. Without asking any questions or saying a word, Lu Tianyang walked over and threw a punch. "Damn it, how dare you touch my woman!"
"You have no ability to protect your woman, so what right do you have to claim her? What if I touched her?" Long Shaotang was not one to back down either. If he couldn't protect Ye Ya, then he shouldn't be occupying space without doing anything.
This statement completely enraged Lu Tianyang, and the two of them started fighting right there. Ye Ya stood by in shock.
"Enough! Stop fighting! Lu Tianyang, it's not what you think!" Ye Ya shouted, but it didn't stop the two men. They were both caught up in their rage, like male lions defending their territory; for them, this issue of dominance was extremely important.
Ye Ya sighed. Let them fight; if one of them got hurt badly enough, it would save her the trouble later. She turned and went back inside to change into something else, hoping to see if she could bring Chen Chen back.
"Long Shaotang, stay away from Ye Ya from now on, or I won't go easy on you," Lu Tianyang said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Long Shaotang looked worse for wear.
"Lu Tianyang, if you can't even protect your own woman and child, what right do you have to keep her? Let Ye Ya go and find happiness," Long Shaotang retorted.
"Long Shaotang, just wait and see," Lu Tianyang said as he put away his fists and hurried back to find Ye Ya.
Ye Ya had just pulled a new outfit out of the closet when the door to her room burst open. Seeing Lu Tianyang's appearance made it clear that Long Shaotang had not gone easy on him either.
