Chapter 575: Chapter 571 Entering Hang City

As night fell and the lights came on, the entire city of Hang City was brilliantly illuminated, the bright lights casting a glow that beautified the cityscape spectacularly.

At night, the real noise begins regardless of the location, and people, having shed their daytime burdens, flock to the streets to relish the nightlife.

Tianxiang Pavilion is very well-known in Hang City. Just mentioning the name brings a knowing smile to the men’s faces. At Tianxiang Pavilion, as long as you have the money, there is no luxury you can’t enjoy, even the company of top-tier celebrities—if you can afford it.

More importantly, Tianxiang Pavilion is backed by the Tan Family, who reign like emperors over Hang City with unmatched power. Almost no one can challenge them. With the Tan Family as its backbone, Tianxiang Pavilion’s business naturally thrives. Many wealthy people choose it first, and being connected with the Tan Family means you can do as you please.

In a luxurious private room of Tianxiang Pavilion, a man with a pale face and a sullen expression lay on a couch, admiring the dance of several women dressed in ancient bellyband-like garments, intermittently making seductive noises that unwittingly ignited a fire in the heart of the onlooker.

This man was none other than Lin Qianru’s fiancé, Tan Heng.

By Tan Heng’s side stood a weasely man respectfully, his gaze fixed covetously on the women performing various poses in front of him, flames nearly leaping from his eyes, yet he dared not make a move.

After a long while, Tan Heng suddenly withdrew his gaze, looked at the man beside him, and asked, ”How is it going? Any news from the Lin Family?”

”Young Master Tan, good news. I just received word from the Lin Family. Lin Qianru is already on her way back to Hang City. It won’t be long before you get what you desire,” the weasely man said respectfully.

”Lin Qianru is coming back?”

Hearing this, a vicious smile spread across Tan Heng’s face. Since the first time he saw Lin Qianru, he had sworn to dominate her completely. However, the stubborn girl had sneaked off to Modu. He had wanted to forcibly bring Lin Qianru back.

Unfortunately, the two old folks from the Lin Family had threatened him with death, leaving him helpless. Years had passed, and he couldn’t wait any longer. Now that the Lin Family had become the Tan Family’s lackeys, he had no worries. He had sent Tan Si to Modu to bring Lin Qianru back, but Tan Si had mysteriously disappeared, resulting in him being confined at home by his own grandfather. Now Lin Qianru was practically delivering herself to his doorstep.

”Yes, Young Master Tan, Lin Qianru has definitely come back. She has been frequently calling home lately. Recently, we had Lin Anwu capture her parents. Once she couldn’t reach them by phone, she was bound to return,” the man suggested.

”Young Master Tan, what should we do next? Should we intercept Lin Qianru at the highway exit and take her?”

A savage look flashed in Tan Heng’s eyes as he sneered, ”No need. Now that I have her parents in my hands, she wouldn’t dare not come. Besides, capturing Lin Qianru does not require our hands-on involvement. The Lin Family will do it for us and parade her into the Tan Family home tomorrow.”

”Yes, Young Master Tan, you are right.”

”That bitch Lin Qianru, I will make sure she learns how formidable I am,” Tan Heng laughed loudly, stood up, and walked over to one of the dancing women. He pressed her against the nearby wall, and soon, the private room echoed with the woman’s suppressed cries.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Tianxing was driving on the highway, with Lu Tianxing himself behind the wheel and Lin Qianru sitting in the passenger seat.

Perhaps because Lu Tianxing had agreed to accompany her to Hang City, the anxious look on Lin Qianru’s face had lessened significantly, a gentle smile playing on her lips as she gazed out the window, pensive and lost in her thoughts.

”Qian Ru, we’ll be exiting the highway and entering Hang City soon. Where should we go now? Straight home or to a hotel first?” Lu Tianxing turned his head to look at Lin Qianru and asked softly.

”I’d like to go home first,” Lin Qianru said after a moment of silence.

”No problem. Just give me directions. I’ll take you home first; don’t worry. I’ve accompanied you back to Hang City, no one can hurt you anymore.”

Lu Tianxing nodded, knowing Lin Qianru wasn’t in the best of spirits, and said nothing more. He understood well that actions speak louder than words.

After exiting the highway, he followed Lin Qianru’s directions to her parents’ residence.

Half an hour later, guided by Lin Qianru, Lu Tianxing quickly parked the car in front of a small villa.

This small villa wasn’t too large, comprising only two floors, surrounded by wrought iron railings, with ivy crawling all over them, making it hard to decipher the situation inside.

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback as he looked at the house before him. Although it could be considered a small villa, it appeared somewhat dilapidated, which was extremely inconsistent with Lin Qianru’s father’s status. On the way here, he had heard Lin Qianru describe her family’s situation. Although the Lin Family wasn’t considered a prominent clan in Hang City, it was definitely a significant family, and Lin Qianru’s father, being the head of the family, shouldn’t be living in such a shabby place.

Despite his surprise, Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything. To him, having a place to stay was enough. He remembered that, on the battlefields of the Middle East, he had to sleep among the dead so he could survive. This place was nothing in comparison.

”Tianxing, this is my home now. Ever since I left Modu, my parents moved here voluntarily to avoid the Tan Family’s targeting of the Lin Family,” Lin Qianru explained, seemingly noticing Lu Tianxing’s confusion.

Lu Tianxing nodded. Although Lin Qianru didn’t elaborate much, he sensed that her parents had not been doing well in these years. Otherwise, how could the head of a family possibly move to such a place? Perhaps, this was the love of parents, preferring to endure hardship themselves rather than watching their son and daughter suffer.

”Tianxing, let’s get out of the car!” Lin Qianru said softly.

”No problem.”

After they got out of the car, Lin Qianru didn’t hesitate to take Lu Tianxing’s arm. Now that she was back, she wanted to make it clear to Tan Heng that marrying him was a daydream, and by her actions, she wanted to show Lu Tianxing that she belonged to him.

Standing at the doorstep, Lin Qianru took several deep breaths, trying to keep her composure, but her body couldn’t stop trembling. It had been five years since she left Hang City, and now she was finally able to return openly. This time, she had brought her man back with her, and he was here to shatter this prolonged five-year nightmare for her.

With some trembling, she reached out and pressed the doorbell lightly.

”Who is it?”

Soon, a nervous voice came from inside the door.

Hearing this slightly anxious voice, Lin Qianru couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart and said loudly, ”Nanny Huang, it’s me, Qianru, I’m back, Nanny Huang, I’m back.”

”Snap!”

As Lin Qianru’s voice fell, there was silence inside for a moment. Then, it seemed something fell to the ground, followed by hurried footsteps approaching, and the front door was flung open. A woman in her forties or fifties appeared, dressed like a nanny, and seemingly a maid hired by the Lin Family, but her expression showed a deep relationship with Lin Qianru.

”Miss, it really is you, Miss, you finally came back...”

Upon seeing Lin Qianru, the woman was initially stunned, then quickly came forward, looking at Lin Qianru with excitement and trembling lips, unable to speak.

”Yes, Nanny Huang, I’m back, I’m back.”

Lin Qianru couldn’t control the tears on her face any longer and stepped forward to hug Nanny Huang, crying.

It was no wonder Lin Qianru was so emotional. When she first came to Hang City with her mother, she was all alone; the children from the family looked down on her, considering her an outsider, and she was unfamiliar with the environment. It was always Nanny Huang who took care of her, treating her as her own daughter. Once, unaware of the dangers, she nearly had an accident when she ran out to play on the street; if not for Nanny Huang’s daring rescue, she might have died.

Although Nanny Huang was a servant of the Lin Family, in her heart, she was no different from a real relative.

”By the way, Miss, this is...” Nanny Huang suddenly looked up, confusedly glancing at Lu Tianxing.

”Nanny Huang, he is my boyfriend.”

Lin Qianru let go of Nanny Huang and looked at Lu Tianxing shyly, introducing him softly, ”Right, Nanny Huang, where are my parents?”

”Miss, this matter...” Nanny Huang’s expression stiffened, hesitating as she looked at Lin Qianru.

Seeing Nanny Huang’s expression, Lin Qianru’s face changed, and she asked anxiously, ”Nanny Huang, what happened, what exactly happened, what has happened to my parents?”

”Miss, the Master and Madame were taken away by the Tan Family’s people; it was yesterday. Young Master Tan’s uncle and others suddenly broke into the house and took the Master and Madame away. They said it was under Young Master Tan’s orders, and also said that if you don’t go to the Tan Family to complete the marriage in seven days, they will kill the Master and Madame. I originally wanted to call you, but the Master and Madame forbade me, insisting on no matter what, they didn’t want you to know about this, nor did they want you to come back to Hang City,” Nanny Huang said urgently.
