Wu Youdao didn't press his request for them to stay; besides, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the hospital's actions today as well. It wasn't Zhang Yang's scheduled workday, nor was he working overtime.

After finishing with this patient, he headed straight to the inpatient ward. Wang Chen was still hospitalized.

Since he was in the area, he should pay a visit. "You're provoking me; be careful, or I won't be done with you!" "You look like a mummy; how can you not be done with me?

If you want this to be over, stand up first and then talk!" Before even entering the room, he could hear furious howling mixed with triumphant mockery. Without needing to listen closely, he knew the howling came from Wang Chen, and the smug laughter belonged to Li Ya.

Li Ya, this kid, instead of being busy with his company, had somehow shown up here. "Bullying a patient—that's hardly heroic!" Zhang Yang spoke as he pushed the door open.

His entrance, accompanied by Mi Xue, immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room. Wang Chen and Li Ya paid most of their attention to Mi Xue; they rarely saw such a beautiful girl.

"Zhang Yang, you're here!" Huang Hai greeted Zhang Yang with a smile. It wasn't just Wang Chen and Li Ya in the room; Huang Hai was there too.

Besides Huang Hai, there was also a nanny, the one employed by Wang Chen's family. His parents were very busy, only visiting in the mornings and evenings; most of the day, the family nanny took care of him.

"Zhang Yang, you’re the real bro. They aren’t heroes.

Is this your girl? So beautiful, no wonder you looked down on those auto show models!" Wang Chen was heavily bandaged, with parts of his body in plaster casts; Li Ya wasn't wrong to call him a mummy.

Even in this state, seeing a pretty girl made him his usual self, eyes fixed. "You, if you don't change this habit, you'll get into trouble sooner or later!" Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly, muttered a phrase, and then pulled Mi Xue closer.

"This is my girlfriend, Mi Xue, she goes to the same school as me!" He considered this his introduction of Mi Xue to them. Zhang Yang had already told them everyone's names, and Mi Xue politely offered her greetings.

These names were ones Zhang Yang had mentioned to her over the phone when he was in Shanghai. Zhang Yang didn't actually have many friends.

The former 'Zhang Yang' was rather withdrawn, only getting along well with Hu Xin, Gu Cheng, and Xiao Bin. Later, he also became quite close with Xiao Dai and Nan Nan.

It was even more so after the transmigration. Besides them, he only had Su Zhantao as a friend.

He had met all these people through Su Zhantao's connections. Without knowing Su Zhantao, he wouldn't have known Yang Ling, naturally wouldn't have teamed up to attend that auto show.

Without attending the auto show, he wouldn't have met Long Cheng, Huang Hai, and the others. "Zhang Yang, you kept her hidden well.

I guarantee your girl is a campus beauty, definitely one of the best!" Li Ya looked at Zhang Yang with intense jealousy. After speaking, he turned back to Mi Xue with a grin.

"Sister-in-law, are there any other girls in your school as beautiful as you? Introduce one to me sometime; I promise I'll be sincere with her!" Before Mi Xue could reply, Wang Chen shouted, "You're sincere?

Your heart was eaten by a dog long ago! Sister-in-law, if you introduce anyone, introduce them to me; I'm the one who's sincere!" "Both of you, just quiet down!

It's your first time meeting her, and you're giving her such an unstable impression!" Huang Hai scolded them with an amused smile. These two were truly disappointing; weren't they afraid Mi Xue would laugh at them?

Mi Xue, however, didn't mind, saying it was fine, which drew another round of compliments from the group. "Li Ya, how is your company coming along?" After chatting for a while, Zhang Yang casually asked.

He was genuinely interested in Li Ya's company; if this venture succeeded, it could become his personal ATM in the future. "It's registered.

This guy Wang Chen is taking shares; I came to get his signature!" Li Ya said with a smile, and Zhang Yang nodded. He had already transferred the investment money to Li Ya from Long Cheng and Huang Hai, and the share agreements were signed.

Since Wang Chen was investing, he needed to put up the money and thus needed to sign the papers. Fortunately, Wang Chen couldn't move his body, but his fingers were fine; signing his name was no problem at all.

"I've already leased the office building. You shareholders must attend the opening day!" Li Ya added cheerfully.

He hadn't been idle these past two days; he directly leased an entire floor of an office building. Furthermore, he had contacted a headhunting firm to help recruit some staff.

Once everything was ready and the licenses were secured, his company could officially open. Li Ya sounded very confident about this, which reassured Huang Hai and the others.

Li Ya definitely had the capability; as long as he worked hard, it would be hard to lose money. It was also Li Ya who had pulled him over to the hospital today, using the opportunity to visit Wang Chen.

Listening to their conversation, Mi Xue realized Zhang Yang had invested in yet another new company—a massive business deal. Investing twenty million at once was completely unimaginable to her.

This gave her a surge of pride. The more capable Zhang Yang was, the prouder she felt.

After staying at Wang Chen's place for a while, as dusk approached, Zhang Yang, Li Ya, and Huang Hai left the hospital together. Upon leaving, Zhang Yang finally received his Mercedes-Benz sedan.

This car had a new license plate, and this time it was even luckier than the last one—it was four eights, just like Zhang Yang's Mercedes sports car, although the leading digits were different. These two plates had cost a hefty sum; it was Yang Ling’s way of thanking Zhang Yang.

She had taken the medicine according to the prescription he gave her, and her health was much better now. The new Mercedes sedan drove into and out of the hospital grounds, naturally drawing the notice of the gatekeepers.

These guards were unaware that this luxurious Mercedes also belonged to Zhang Yang. Regarding his decision to leave, Zhang Yang didn't tell Zhu Zhixiang directly.

He trusted that Wu Youdao would relay his intentions. Besides that, he still had several days of leave he had taken extra when he went to Shanghai.

Whether he was leaving or not, he had to make up those days he missed. Counting it up, he still had to stay at the hospital for a few more days.

Driving back to the courtyard of his residential complex, the car was parked in the original garage. The sports car would be delivered tomorrow.

Zhang Yang considered buying another garage space, as the current ones were cheap now. Mi Xue got out first, carrying Lightning upstairs.

She wasn't waiting for Zhang Yang; she urgently needed the restroom. Just as he locked the garage door, Zhang Yang’s brow subtly furrowed.

He looked up, straightened his posture, and saw a young man standing behind a flower bed not far away. The sky was already completely dark, and the person was hidden in the shadows.

If he hadn't emitted a slight aura, Zhang Yang might not have spotted him. Seeing that Zhang Yang had noticed him, the young man walked directly toward Zhang Yang.

"I thought you were smart enough to leave forever; I didn't expect you to come back here!" Zhang Yang said softly, shaking his head, speaking to the approaching young man. Zhang Yang was familiar with this young man; it was Long Feng, the one who had been bitten by Lightning and subsequently captured by him.

Long Feng shook his head and whispered, "If I just left like that, it would be the shame of my entire life!" Zhang Yang asked flatly, "Are you here this time for the Zhang family of Huatuo Residence?" As he spoke, he used his senses to check upstairs. There was no movement.

Long Feng was likely alone. This somewhat eased the anxiety in Zhang Yang’s heart.

What he feared most was the Long family sending multiple people at once. Even if he could handle them, Mi Xue might not.

As long as Mi Xue was safe now, even if there was a master hidden nearby, they couldn't deal with Mi Xue silently; Lightning was with her. Long Feng shook his head again, "No, their life or death has nothing to do with me.

I am here for myself!" Long Feng finished speaking and quietly watched Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang watched him back.

After a while, Zhang Yang took out his phone and dialed Mi Xue. He told Mi Xue he ran into a friend and was talking, so he’d be home later, specifically instructing Mi Xue to wait for him while holding Lightning, emphasizing the last part.

Lightning’s combat strength was no less than his own. Given Lightning’s current loyalty, even if Zhang Yang wasn't present, he wouldn't let Mi Xue suffer (Shu Shu Wu) After making the call, Zhang Yang walked outside.

Long Feng coming to find him was definitely not for idle conversation or reminiscing; they had no old times to catch up on. Outside the community was an abandoned factory.

Children liked playing there during the day, but at night, no one went. A murder case had even occurred there a few years prior, making people even less likely to visit after dark.

Abandoned factories like this were common in cities in this era but would be rare in a few years. The area wasn't huge, not as vast as a forest, but when deserted, it was enough for the two of them to settle their "dispute" here.

"I've come today to defeat you and take back my Snow Whip!" Once they reached the location, Long Feng finally spoke slowly. Zhang Yang had let him go last time but hadn't returned his weapon; that weapon had become Zhang Yang's spoils of war.

Besides, Zhang Yang hadn't considered returning such a formidable weapon, nor would he if he suspected Long Feng would return for revenge. Now, it seemed his decision back then was wise; at least dealing with Long Feng when he was armed would be troublesome for Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang brushed his waist, and a soft whip, nearly invisible in the dark, appeared in his hand. This soft whip was excellent, woven from Celestial Silkworm Snow Silk; ordinary fire couldn't burn it—absolutely a fine treasure.

Gripping the whip, Zhang Yang smiled slightly and whispered, "You couldn't defeat me even with a weapon; without one, do you think you can beat me?" "I didn't lose to you; I was ambushed by the Fox-tailed Marten. Without it, you couldn't have possibly captured me!" Long Feng's face suddenly flushed deep red.

Being captured by Zhang Yang last time was the greatest humiliation of his life. Because of this, he hadn't immediately returned to his clan.

He wanted revenge to wash away this disgrace, and the best way to get revenge was to defeat Zhang Yang. He had investigated Zhang Yang's residence and had been waiting here.

He knew Zhang Yang had a girlfriend, but he never considered using Zhang Yang's girlfriend for anything. The Xuanyuan family, after all, was a righteous lineage, and he had never been taught to use such despicable methods since childhood.

Furthermore, if he wanted to erase the shame and not leave a shadow on his own heart, he could only truly win by defeating Zhang Yang honorably. Only then would he consider it a genuine victory.
