My Silly, Sweet Wife

Strength like an ox.

Quick as lightning.

Be it strength or speed, both were impeccable.

Wang Ying wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

An Kunlun’s intent was to provoke, to slap Wang Xiao’s face in this manner.

He didn’t care who these two were, if they refused to leave, they would be thrown out.

An Cangsheng remained silent, clearly acquiescing.

Even though Wang Xiao had briefly introduced them, An Cangsheng had a basic understanding of their identities.

Ye Guichen, that country bumpkin from the small place of Yun City, always suppressing the people sent by the Azure Dragon Commerce.

But, in the eyes of An Cangsheng and the president, he was just a minor character.

A small fry, not worth much attention.

Since today he stood on equal footing with Wang Xiao, he had to be taught a lesson, lest he thought he could act recklessly just because he clung to Wang Xiao’s thigh.

As for Duan Nanye, An Cangsheng was even more aware of him.

Duan Nanye’s Dragon Teeth was a sharp tool for counterbalancing martial artists.

Though the Azure Dragon Commerce appeared to be a commercial association, it had no shortage of martial arts masters.

They often dealt with Dragon Teeth.

An Cangsheng also knew that Duan Nanye came from a prominent family and had a good private relationship with Wang Xiao, otherwise, he wouldn’t have such power to control Dragon Teeth.

However, the president wanted to expand the underground world and take over the entire underground world of the Jiangnan provinces, and Dragon Teeth had become an obstacle to their plan.

Though they had reservations in the open, allowing An Kunlun to curb Duan Nanye’s momentum was acceptable.

Acquiescence was the greatest provocation.

Duan Nanye knew that King Yan and the Azure Dragon Commerce were deeply entangled but lacked evidence to question them directly. Yet, being provoked, how could he hold back?

”How dare you!”

Almost simultaneously with An Kunlun’s move, Duan Nanye also made his move.

After all, being the head of Dragon Teeth, his cultivation was not to be underestimated.

As soon as An Kunlun’s hand touched his shoulder, Duan Nanye reversed and grabbed An Kunlun’s hand.

In the next second, Duan Nanye pulled hard, trying to execute an over-the-shoulder throw to topple An Kunlun.

Unexpectedly, An Kunlun’s strength was too formidable; it was like pulling a thousand-pound boulder, completely unmoved.

Ye Guichen, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, sitting there as immovable as a rock.

At the same time, An Kunlun felt the most keenly.

He had grabbed both Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye with his two hands simultaneously.

But grabbing Ye Guichen felt like grabbing an immovable stone fixed to the ground; no matter how much strength he used, he couldn’t throw him out.

One must know that in all of Jinling, An Kunlun’s martial prowess ranked among the top three, and in terms of strength, he dared to claim second, and no one would dare to claim first.

In private, he was even humorously nicknamed the Wild Ox.

Since childhood, An Kunlun had always prided himself on his strength and was absolutely confident in it.

But at this moment, An Kunlun began to doubt—seeing the not-so-robust-looking Ye Guichen, could he have some unique cultivation technique to divert strength?

In a flash.

An Kunlun naturally felt Duan Nanye’s counterattack.

Knowing he could not shake Ye Guichen, he focused all his attention on Duan Nanye.

Planting his feet firmly, seeing Duan Nanye trying to topple him, he let out a low shout, the other hand already grabbing over.

”Rise!”

Grabbing Duan Nanye’s shoulders with both hands, he lifted Duan Nanye from his seat as if pulling green onions from dry ground.

Duan Nanye’s face turned red as a tide.

In the instant of engagement, Duan Nanye realized that in close combat with An Kunlun, he would be at a disadvantage.

As he rose to his feet, Duan Nanye made a decision, slightly twisting his body, his form resembling a peculiar twist, shedding most of An Kunlun’s strength.

At the same time, he lifted his foot to kick An Kunlun’s abdomen.

An Kunlun naturally didn’t want to take the hit, so he loosened his grip and quickly retreated.

It seemed like a single instantaneous exchange.

But anyone with a sharp eye could see that Duan Nanye and An Kunlun had already exchanged several moves.

Seeing that Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye were not subdued, An Cangsheng’s face darkened: ”Kunlun, behave! Mr. Ye and Mr. Duan are both friends of Old Wang, what are you doing?”

An Kunlun looked ashamed.

His initial move was not only to give Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye a warning but also to show off in front of Wang Ying.

Yet, unexpectedly, he was at a disadvantage.

”Father, who are these two? You’ve been here for so long, and they didn’t even offer a seat!” An Kunlun pointed at Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye, standing up for An Cangsheng.

An Cangsheng’s face turned cold: ”No rules! This is Old Wang’s house; sitting or not, what’s the big deal?”

Then, changing his demeanor, he cupped his hands towards Wang Xiao: ”Old Wang, see, I failed to teach my child well, I must have startled your guests just now, right?”

With a simple sentence, he defused the awkwardness without mentioning An Kunlun’s failure to gain the upper hand.

Wang Xiao waved his hand: ”Young people, it’s understandable to be impulsive, Secretary An is too polite.”

”Someone, bring a rattan chair for Secretary An.” Seeing that An Cangsheng had spoken this far, Wang Xiao knew there was no need to keep a stern face.

He had to let him sit.

Soon, someone brought over a rattan chair.

An Cangsheng took a seat: ”Old Wang, I’m just running errands for the president today; please don’t make it difficult for me. I understand Xiao Ying’s temperament; he might have done it unintentionally, but after all, so many people under the president died, you see...”

”What’s this, those people were all assassins from the Yama Hall, our Dragon Teeth could not shirk the responsibility!” Duan Nanye stared directly at An Cangsheng: ”Secretary An, to be blunt, killing those people was entirely our Dragon Teeth’s doing, it has nothing to do with anyone else. You shouldn’t be questioning Wang Ying or Uncle Wang.”

”Dragon Teeth?” As if discovering a new continent, An Cangsheng feigned surprise: ”How is this related to Dragon Teeth again?”

Earlier, during Wang Xiao’s introduction, only Duan Nanye’s name was mentioned, without any mention of Dragon Teeth.

Even if he knew, An Cangsheng naturally wouldn’t admit it.

He could only play dumb.

”Secretary An, according to our investigation, everyone at Longwang Villa are assassins from Yama Hall, utterly wicked. You come here to question Wang Boxin, isn’t it possible that the Azure Dragon Commerce is connected to those assassins from Yama Hall? If that’s the case, I need to apply to the higher-ups to investigate the president of Azure Dragon Commerce!”

Duan Nanyan initially wanted to turn a blind eye, but didn’t expect An Cangsheng to speak with a hidden agenda, pressing Wang Xiao step by step.

Moreover, An Kunlun directly resorted to physical action. Duan Nanye knew that if he didn’t step in, Wang Xiao would face difficulties.

However, after these words, An Cangsheng’s expression also turned somewhat grim.

Regarding Dragon Teeth, Azure Dragon Commerce wasn’t afraid.

But behind Dragon Teeth was a major sect, and Dragon Teeth was merely a department under that sect.

The implication in Duan Nanyan’s words was clear, wanting to investigate Azure Dragon Commerce required approval from higher authorities.

And should it be discovered that the Azure Dragon Commerce was connected to Yama Hall’s people, unnecessary troubles would surely ensue.

With a slight twitch of his lips, An Cangsheng harbored resentment in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

”What? You’re part of Dragon Teeth? Unbelievable! It seems the president has been misled. If those people indeed had ties with Yama Hall, I will certainly report back and ensure a thorough investigation!”

His words were resolute, embodying absolute righteousness.
