C18 He Was so Powerful!!
"Mr. Yang, please don't delete the video. Can I keep it?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.
"Do you even know what you're saying?" Yang Keng looked at her, his expression suddenly serious. There was a lot at stake here, and one wrong move could spell trouble.
Ye Zhenzhen's face also turned serious. She nodded without saying a word.
Worried that she might be too young to understand the gravity of the situation, Yang Keng asked again, "Do you know who that person represents?"
In Qingcheng, when people referred to "that person" without daring to say the name, it used to be Yeh Haitian, the former head of the Iran Society. Now, it was Yeh Lin, who had dissolved the society but was even more formidable.
"Don't think that just because the Iran Society is gone, you can underestimate him. In terms of determination, Yeh Haitian was no match for Yeh Lin. Even without the society, he's bound to make a comeback!"
"Whatever you do, don't think about crossing him!" Mr. Yang's voice was stern, full of warning.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at Yang Keng, whose brow was furrowed with worry, clearly apprehensive about Yeh Lin. She asked, puzzled, "Mr. Yang, I've never heard of him in Qingcheng before!"
She knew of his prowess, thanks to ten years of memories others didn't have. But why was Mr. Yang already so concerned about him?
"Just because you haven't heard of him doesn't mean you can dismiss him. The fact that he was only twenty when he managed to regroup after Yeh Haitian's downfall and retain the core strength of the Iran Society is alarming!" Yang Keng said gravely. "His ability to strike decisively, dissolve the society, and manage the chaos after the leader's death is truly remarkable!"
"Zhenzhen, from now on in Qingcheng, everyone will likely steer clear of him!"
As Yang Keng spoke, his tone was that of a concerned elder giving advice to a younger person. He didn't even notice that he had stopped calling Ye Zhenzhen "Miss" and simply called her Zhenzhen.
"Mr. Yang, it makes me so happy when you call me Zhenzhen!" Ye Zhenzhen's eyes sparkled as she looked at Yang Keng, her face full of joy. "Can you keep calling me Zhenzhen from now on?"
In truth, winning someone's heart often requires sincerity. This time, she wanted to start from scratch.
Yang Keng looked at her pure face and joyful expression, his tense demeanor softening a bit. He reached out to gently pat Zhenzhen's head, his voice becoming more gentle. "Alright, but you have to listen to me—this video can't stay!"
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, noticing the disappointment in Yang Keng's eyes and his expression tightening again. She tugged on his arm playfully. "Mr. Yang, can you hear me out before deciding?"
Yang Keng looked at her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but he didn't pull his arm away from her grasp.
"I'm not trying to be reckless or threaten anyone. I just want to keep it for my own protection," Ye Zhenzhen explained.
She had once missed out on what could have been her greatest ally. Now, she wanted to turn things around and win Mr. Yang's support—this was the first step. She hadn't realized how highly Mr. Yang regarded Yeh Lin.
No wonder Yeh Lin would become such a powerful figure in a few years.
"Protection?" Yang Keng didn't quite understand her.
Ye Zhenzhen briefly explained the circumstances after the car accident to Yang Keng, then said, "Right now, this video might be tricky, but it could save a life!"
Only then did Yang Keng understand why Ye Zhenzhen had asked if that young man had died as soon as she woke up.
After listening carefully, he nodded and stood up. "I understand what you're saying. I need to handle the video and the aftermath of the accident properly now."
Without waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to respond, he stood up and headed for the door. As he opened it, he glanced back at her. "Mr. Hsu woke up once while you were asleep. He's out of danger now. You did well with this."
