The Yan Family in the Provincial City ranks eighth among the nine major families, one position ahead of the Huangfu Family.
The old residence of the Yan Family is located in the southeast of the Provincial City, nestled on Yanchi Mountain, and is named Yanchi Villa!
The division of the nine major families in the entire Provincial City is roughly : southwest, southeast, northwest, northeast, east, south, west, north, and center each have a family!
The higher the ranking, the more advantageous the geographic location, and the higher the status in the Provincial City.
At this moment, Yan Hezhen and her son Huangfu Shang hurriedly rushed overnight to Yanchi Villa in a Lotus Europa.
This Lotus Europa is Huangfu Shang's exclusive car, considered one of the iconic vehicles in the Provincial City, enjoying many privileges, even running red lights with impunity.
Finally, after crossing two districts, the Lotus Europa arrived at the foot of Yanchi Mountain.
The mother and son had passes from the Yan Family, so they could pass without asking for permission and drove directly to the outside of the Yan Family Mansion.
At this time, the Patriarch of the Yan Family, Yan Huxiong, had already gone to bed with his wife, Lei Lanzi.
Suddenly hearing from the servants that his daughter was visiting late at night, he had no choice but to put on his pajamas again and come to the living room.
"What's the matter, coming back so late?"
Yan Huxiong saw Yan Hezhen and Huangfu Shang rushing in and frowned as he asked.
The bigger and more powerful the family, the stronger the feudal remnants of thinking. Even though Yan Hezhen was Yan Huxiong's daughter and the young lady of the entire Yan Family, once married, she belonged to the Huangfu Family.
In Yan Huxiong's own words, a married daughter is like spilled water; she shouldn't return home unless absolutely necessary.
"Dad, Mom, you must seek justice for your daughter, I've been bullied!"
In front of her parents, Yan Hezhen had none of the usual demeanor of a pampered lady in the Huangfu Family. She immediately burst into tears and cried out her grievances to Yan Huxiong and Lei Lanzi.
"Daughter, what's happened to you? Did the Huangfu Family treat you badly?"
Ultimately, a mother cares for her daughter. Lei Lanzi immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Not entirely! It's a lowly scoundrel from Binhai, and a little bitch that Shang'er had his eyes on before who insulted both of us! Dad, Mom, you must seek justice for me and Shang'er, or we won't be able to live with the shame!" Yan Hezhen continued to cry.
"What exactly happened?" Yan Huxiong frowned even more, confused about why this involved Binhai again.
"Grandfather, it's ..."
At this moment, Huangfu Shang did not dare to hide it and carefully recounted the whole story.
Since the root cause was due to him, he was cautious as he spoke, constantly observing Yan Huxiong's expression.
Sure enough, after Yan Huxiong listened, he was furious on the spot, scolding: "You two useless fools, bringing such disgrace to your family, and you still have the face to complain?"
Upon hearing that mother and son were humiliated by a lowly Binhai security guard who barged into the house, publicly broke off the engagement, slapped them in front of everyone, and forced them to kneel, he was absolutely livid!
"Dad, that's why we hope you'll help us. My father-in-law cares too much about saving face, suffering in silence, and refuses to stand up for us. He let that Jiang bastard act arrogantly and leave as he pleased. I'm depending on you now..."
"Nonsense! Your father-in-law did nothing wrong!"
Yan Huxiong coldly replied, "Huangfu Qinglong is not an old fool. If he really retaliated because someone came to dissolve an engagement, the entire Huangfu Family would be completely disgraced! He can only downplay the matter, swallowing his anger, and keep it quiet!"
"But, caring only about face while completely ignoring our dignity? Are we just supposed to be bullied by that bastard?" Yan Hezhen shouted discontentedly!
She also knew that families like the Huangfu Family and Yan Family feared scandals the most. Even the smallest matter could become explosive news in public!
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about family interests; she couldn't swallow her anger, and any grievance had to be avenged!
At this moment, Lei Lanzi suddenly interjected, "Daughter, Shang'er, the Jiang Feng you mentioned, is he the same person who ruined my nephew, Lei Tiansheng, in Binhai?"
It turned out that Lei Tiansheng, the owner of Lei's Casino in Binhai, was Lei Lanzi's direct nephew!
Previously, the so-called "Provincial City connections" of Lei Tiansheng mentioned in Binhai rumors were indeed related to the Yan Family!
Upon hearing this, Yan Huxiong's face turned ashen. Although he considered Lei Lanzi's family as undistinguished, family ties were facts that couldn't be changed. Thus, Lei Tiansheng's capture made him furious as well.
"What? Cousin was actually captured in Binhai? Then there's no doubt it was that Jiang Feng who did it. Only he would dare to be so brazen, acting with such audacity. By sending Cousin to jail, doesn't this count as a deep-seated hatred?" Yan Hezhen exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"Grandfather, that Jiang Feng is really arrogant. I have no objections to him bringing Chu Feifei to break off the engagement, but to storm into our home, completely disregarding me, really makes it impossible for me to hold my head up in the Provincial City. Please seek justice for me!" Observing the situation, Huangfu Shang hurriedly stood up and shouted in anger.
"Huxiong, did you hear that? Don't be as cold-hearted as that stubborn old Huangfu Qinglong! I don't care! You must avenge Tiansheng's humiliation and can't ignore the disgrace Zhen'er and Shang'er suffered. You need to have a stance!" Lei Lanzi also pressured her husband.
"All of you shut up!" Yan Huxiong coldly said, "Do you understand anything? There's no glory in smashing rocks with eggs. If you fail, it invites ridicule! With our Yan Family's status and identity, to take action against a low-tier Binhai nobody, do you want me to lose face?"
"Grandfather, as long as you back me up, I'm willing to take a trip to Binhai myself to suppress this Jiang, it won't tarnish the image of the two families, right?" Huangfu Shang said.
Yan Huxiong squinted his eyes and coldly said, "You're the eldest son of the Huangfu Family; it's not suitable for you to go either!"
Huangfu Shang was momentarily at a loss, feeling extremely frustrated.
"This isn't possible; that isn't possible, what's your suggestion then?" Lei Lanzi asked discontentedly.
Yan Huxiong pondered for a moment, expressionless, "The only way now is to find a proxy family in Binhai to take action under its name to eliminate that Jiang."
"Doing this avoids public exposure, avoids criticism, and achieves the goal – getting rid of that annoying pest."
"A brilliant plan, Grandfather!" Huangfu Shang said excitedly, "With your insight, I immediately know which family can be used. Isn't there a small family in Binhai eager to curry favor with us? This time they can be made to work."
"As I said, don't show your face; just maneuver behind the scenes and return once the goal is achieved, as discreetly as possible." Yan Huxiong concluded.
"Understood!" Huangfu Shang rejoiced internally, knowing that his grandfather would support him from behind. Even if the grandfather doesn't show up, just his name would make all the Binhai bigshots bow.
By then, using that puppet family to eliminate Jiang Feng would be a trivial task!
