Chapter 472
After analysing the situation, not only was Tang Wan not able to relax, she felt even more worried instead .
What was the use of realizing the real motive of the culprit if there was nothing she could do to effectively stop the situation from worsening .
As long as Master Tang didn’t recover, it meant the clan was left without a master . Tang Huang had even dared to provoke Tang Wan in Zhonghai, let alone the pile of mess he left behind in Beijing . Their minds weren’t on the same page, causing the direction of the clan to go downwards .
When Yang Chen left Tang Wan’s home, he had originally wanted to cheer up this pitiful woman . However, no matter how hard he thought about it, there was nothing he could say; all he could do was give her a hand . He believed that Tang Wan didn’t hope to be seen as weak, so he chose to keep quiet .
It was dinnertime when Yang Chen reached home . He realized that he had been busy all day removing listening devices . He couldn’t help but mock himself .
When the meal was ready, Yang Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxi wasn’t at home where she would be in the past . Wang Ma seemed to have expected Yang Chen’s question . Smiling, she said, “Miss is going to Miss Christen’s place tonight . She said she wanted to have a discussion with her, so there’s no need to wait for her to return . ”
Yang Chen initially thought that Lin Ruoxi was still working at her office . He was stunned into silence when he heard that she went to look for that crazy woman . Is she going to spill everything out of her mouth again? he thought . The more Yang Chen thought about it, the more Yang Chen felt that was very likely the case . However, he couldn’t just stop Lin Ruoxi from meeting Christen . All he could do was sit and wait in anguish while secretly hoping that Christen wouldn’t stir up any trouble .
Guo Xuehua noticed Yang Chen’s look . She couldn’t help but ask, “Son, why do you look so discouraged when Lin Ruoxi went to look for Christen . Is it very surprising?”
Yang Chen barely raised his hand to signal that he was fine . “I’m a little surprised indeed . Ruoxi seldomly chats with strangers after all . ”
“Why do you think she’s chatting instead of talking about work?” Guo Xuehua asked .
Yang Chen was stunned a little . He then thought that it was very possible that it could have been for work instead . He might really have overthinked .
After dinner, Yang Chen watched television with his mother and Wang Ma for a while before going to his room . It should be around noon in Europe now . So, he turned on his computer and logged into the video-call software which he often used .
After a short while, the red-haired Sauron appeared on the screen . Dressed in a black suit, the big guy solemnly saluted Yang Chen .
“Your Majesty Pluto, is there anything you require from us?” Sauron asked .
Yang Chen looked at Sauron’s attire and smiled . “I seem to recall you having a hatred for western suits . Why are you suddenly dressed so formally?”
Warmth filled Sauron’s eyes while a smile surfaced on his face . “I didn’t know Your Majesty still remembers that . ”
“You’re my friend, and to be honest one of the very few that I have . I naturally will remember my friends’ habits,” Yang Chen said naturally .
“It’s because my daughter Isabella is having her wedding today,” Sauron said with a smile .
Yang Chen was surprised . He then laughed and said, “Isabella? The wild little cat? Who’s the groom then?”
Sauron looked displeased upon hearing the term ‘groom’ . He snorted disdainfully before saying, “Unfortunately, the damn fellow is Makedon’s grandson . ”
Yang Chen finally burst into laughter like a maniac while slamming his bedsheet . “Are you referring to Brewster, the one with a bucket-like figure?”
“Yeah, but I like to call that brat Wild Pig more,” Sauron said as he pouted .
Yang Chen found it heart-warming . Both Sauron and Makedon were his close partners, so Yang Chen was familiar with their families . Compared to the two, their families treated Yang Chen with less respect but with more intimacy, just like his own family .
Isabella and Brewster were both considered his juniors . Although they were around the same age as Yang Chen, he couldn’t help but feel contented when he was informed of their marriage .
“I’ll ask Ron to deliver a gift on my behalf,” Yang Chen said straightforwardly . “Sauron, you and Makedon have disappointed me so . Why didn’t you guys inform me about something so important? Am I not considered a relative of the two?”
Sauron felt moved and said, “Of course not . Your Majesty Pluto, if it wasn’t for you, my family and I would’ve been killed by the damn British military . It was you who had given me permission to live to this date, and allowed our family to live peacefully . You’re our most respected relative . Makedon and I didn’t tell you about it because we didn’t want you to travel all the way to Europe again . You should know that there will be major power shifts if you should so choose to return after only a year, which will only bring you trouble . We don’t hope to disrupt your life . ”
“You don’t need to consider these problems actually . ” Yang Chen smiled bitterly . “I’m going to Paris next month to attend a fashion week . Even if you and Makedon are concerned about me, I still have to visit Europe soon . ”
Sauron instantly widened his eyes in shock . He was surprised that Yang Chen was going to attend such an event .
Yang Chen stopped mentioning about that and talked about the main subject . “Sauron, I actually need your help today to check something . It isn’t urgent of course . You may enjoy your daughter’s wedding first . ”
“Your Majesty, please let me know what I should do . ” Sauron recovered his strictness .
“I need you to check the American-made listening device MLK 760 . See what sales channels it has had before, especially China . Please help me check if it has entered the black market at anytime,” Yang Chen said
Sauron frowned . “Your Majesty, I believe I have the answer to your question . ”
“Oh?” Yang Chen frowned slightly .
“So this is what happened . We actually tried to purchase the MLK 760 from the FBI through a special channel, but failed . That’s because the model has been completely controlled by the military . If China wants to access something like that, the only way that it would even be remotely possible is if they formed a contract with the military,” Sauron said seriously .
Contemplation filled Yang Chen’s eyes . He nodded and revealed a smile . “Alright, that’s all I want to ask . You should attend Isabella’s wedding now . May you live in happiness . ”
Sauron wasn’t the talkative type . After bidding farewell to Yang Chen, he exit the video call .
Yang Chen pondered for a while before calling another video address . He waited for more than five minutes before getting a response .
When the call got connected, a blonde lady dressed in a white royal lace dress appeared on his screen . The woman’s front and rear gave her a perfect figure . One’s blood vessels would dilate upon seeing her curves . She was none other than Jane .
Jane appeared particularly pleased to be contacted by Yang Chen . Excitement overflowed on her flawless face . She had her blonde and slightly curly hair combed behind her head, causing her to exude the elegant aura of a princess .
There was a sumptuous bed behind Jane . Bright light filled the room around her . This was, obviously, her room .
“My dear Yang Chen, what happened that has made you grace me with your call? I would’ve missed it if I didn’t come to my room to take my lovely hairpin,” Jane said with a smile .
Yang Chen admired her look for a while before saying, “If you’re dressed this way, you’ll attract all the attention from the bride Isabella . ”
“Oh, you know?” Jane asked in surprise . “I thought Sauron and Makedon planned to hide it from you . Did your housekeeper Ron tell you about it?”
“I just found out just now, but it isn’t the point . I need your help for some other stuff,” Yang Chen said .
Jane pouted . “I knew you’d only find me when you need help . How boring . Alright, tell me what you want and I’ll go back to being the bridesmaid . ”
Yang Chen let out a helpless smile . He then explained the illness Master Tang had and the series of events including how Professor Andre was killed .
“When it comes to the research of mental illnesses, I believe no one is better than you in the world . After all, you have managed to control the madness within me… So I think letting you treat Master Tang is the best and only choice . Of course, I know that you’re really busy dealing with your students and various research conferences . I don’t expect you to come over immediately . But if you’re unwilling to take up this task, you may send someone over whom you think is capable enough . I won’t mind,” Yang Chen said .
Jane looked a little saddened at the newsl . “Oh, Andre is dead… He was a good learner, albeit a little greedy . Don’t worry, Yang Chen . I’ll come over personally . I’ve finally got a chance to see you in China, why give it to someone else?”
Yang Chen smiled awkwardly . “I’m talking about something serious . ”
“And so am I . ” Jane winked with a smile . “I’ll purchase a flight ticket to China after attending Isabella’s wedding . You’ll have to pick me up at that time . ”
“No problem . But after something so terrible happened to Andre, your safety is of utmost importance . I don’t wish for you to be harmed helping my friend,” Yang Chen said seriously .
“Won’t you be there as well? You’ll definitely protect me . Just like a few years ago when we met for the first time . Didn’t you guard me and my mother properly as well?” Jane asked as she felt nostalgic .
Yang Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but decided to keep it to himself at last . Smiling, he said, “It’s impossible for me to be by your side at all times . ”
Jane chuckled . “Don’t worry about it . I have my ways, as do you . Don’t you trust me? I’m one of the smartest women in the world . ”
“Yeah, you’re right . ” Yang Chen agreed and nodded . “You’re closely related to The Johns Hopkins University as well, aren’t you? Tell them not to make a big fuss about Andre’s death and stop them from filing a lawsuit . We’ll provide them with a satisfactory explanation in due time . ”
Jane nodded . “I understand . Don’t worry, they have a lot of important partnerships with me . They won’t dare to disobey me . ”
Yang Chen felt that there was nothing else he needed to be involved in after listening to her answer . In fact, he was just delivering the message along the way . He wasn’t willing to sit there and be a part of the whole journey .
The effort of helping Tang Wan wasn’t worth mentioning to Tang Wan . However, to outsiders, this series of actions was an incredibly tough task .
After bidding farewell to Jane, Yang Chen shut down his computer, and felt silence in his dark room . He then had an idea in mind which made him slap his own forehead . He felt that he was becoming more and more stupid as time went by . Why would he pitifully lie in his own room when two of his women lived next door! Was it really difficult for him to leap over a wall?
As he thought, a naughty smile surfaced at the corners of Yang Chen’s lips . He turned his head to look at the balcony . . .
