"Haha! Not hard at all! Seeing you and the Zhou Family's girl get engaged today makes me genuinely happy. Although her father isn't much, this girl is quite good and will be your capable wife. I'm very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law."

The old man said with a smile.

"Tonight is going to be interesting. The girl Li Dongguo mentioned is Zhou Hanyun, right?"

In the banquet hall, a girl who looked very quiet said to the old man beside her.

"Hmm! It should be. But I don't understand, what's Li Dongguo playing at? He must know that the girl from the Zhou Family has already rejected his grandson, right?"

"And yet, without getting Zhou Hanyun's permission, they dare to do this? What are they relying on?"

Mo Ya looked intently at the old man on stage, frowned, and said.

"It doesn't matter what they're relying on. If they want to marry Zhou Hanyun, they must go through Moonlight. But will Moonlight let go? Hmph! The Li Family is walking towards their own doom!"

The girl's smile grew even brighter.

"I also don't understand what they're thinking."

Mo Ya lightly shook his head.

Yang Yan heard Li Zheng's words on stage, and the killing intent in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

"Who's that old man anyway? Is he powerful?"

Yang Yan squinted his eyes and gently asked Zhou Hanyun.

"His name is Li Dongguo, holding a high position of power, with administrative level matters secondary, but he controls a secret force, the greatest asset of the Li Family."

Zhou Hanyun's face didn't look good either at the moment.

Hearing her words, Yang Yan gently nodded and then fell into silence, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Hanyun gently furrowed her brow and asked softly.

"How should I put it? I'm now wondering if I wiped out the Li Family here, what would Huaxia's attitude be."

Yang Yan said lightly.

Though she hadn't been with Yang Yan for long, Zhou Hanyun truly understood him.

She knew Yang Yan wasn't just saying it for show.

This time, he genuinely intended to kill.

"Hey! Don't act recklessly! After all, that man is the top of Huaxia's power circle. If you act recklessly, who knows what the consequences might be!"

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan anxiously, desperately trying to persuade him.

At the same time, she also reached out to firmly grasp Yang Yan's hand, fearing he might do something earth-shattering in a moment of impulse.

"Don't worry, I'm not that irrational. I'm just considering the aftermath of eliminating him. I won't do it unless necessary."

Yang Yan smiled, giving Zhou Hanyun a reassuring look.

"Yes! It's best not to kill if we can avoid it. Otherwise, I always feel strange. But don't worry; no matter what tricks Li Zheng uses, I won't compromise."

Zhou Hanyun said firmly.

Hearing Zhou Hanyun's words, Yang Yan couldn't help but smile.

Then, he coldly watched Li Zheng, wanting to know what this guy would do next.

Just when Yang Yan was waiting for Li Zheng to make a move, Zhou Hanyun's phone suddenly rang.

She hesitated for a moment but still took out her phone.

After glancing at the unfamiliar number on the screen, she pressed the answer button:

"Hello, who is this?"

"You're Zhou Hanyun, right? If you don't want anything to happen to your grandfather, you'd better walk to the side now and find a place where no one is around to take this call."

"And don't tell anyone around you! I'm in the banquet hall right now, watching very closely!"

A playful male voice came from the phone.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhou Hanyun's pupils shrank sharply, then she turned to glance at Yang Yan.

However, Yang Yan's gaze was fixed on Li Zheng, seemingly not noticing her at all, so she bit her lip, got up, and walked to the side, coldly saying:

"Who are you? What do you want?!"

"Who am I? Haha, you might not know who I am now, but in a few days, you'll call me brother-in-law."

The voice on the phone grew even more arrogant.

"Who exactly are you? What have you done to my grandfather?"

Zhou Hanyun whispered angrily.

"Haha, didn't I already say? I'm part of the Li Faction, Li Zheng is my brother, and as for your grandfather, I assume you've heard of a place called the Hidden World?"

"Just recently, we've used black magic on your grandfather. If we wish, he could die of a heart attack immediately."

"I suppose you don't want your grandfather to die like this, right? As for what happens next, I think you know what to do?"

"Remember my words, don't tell that Yang Yan, then tell him you're going backstage."

"If you don't go, you know the consequences. You'd better behave, or your grandfather will die."

"Trust me, even if your grandfather dies, people will think it's due to old age. And remember, I'm in the banquet hall, watching you very closely!"

The man from Li Faction finished speaking and then hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Zhou Hanyun looked around coldly.

Soon, she saw a young man raise a glass towards her.

"Despicable!"

Zhou Hanyun mouthed silently while looking at the man.

"Thank you!"

This was the man's response.

Zhou Hanyun knew that since this man claiming to be part of the Li Faction had mentioned the Hidden World, he naturally wasn't lying.

If she didn't follow the other party's instructions, her grandfather might really die today.

Moreover, no one could find any evidence afterward.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Yan looked at Zhou Hanyun and gently asked.

He noticed that Zhou Hanyun's expression was somewhat off.

"Nothing much, just feeling a bit unwell."

Zhou Hanyun glanced at Yang Yan and then said.

"Are you really okay? You don't look too well!"

Yang Yan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, really."

Zhou Hanyun forced a smile, not wanting to reveal anything to Yang Yan.

Seeing Zhou Hanyun's expression, Yang Yan couldn't help but furrow his brows.

However, he didn't say much but turned his head to look at Li Zheng on stage with an even colder gaze.

"I'm going backstage to touch up my makeup."

Zhou Hanyun said, biting her lip.

When Yang Yan heard Zhou Hanyun's words, he was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at her:

"Do you need me to go with you?"

"No, I'll be right back."

Just as Zhou Hanyun was about to say more, Li Faction deliberately walked past them.

Seeing Li Faction coming over, Zhou Hanyun's face paled, ignoring Yang Yan, and hurriedly headed backstage.
