Lan Long smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes, and answered, “No, don’t worry, there’s only my grandfather at home. He loves lively scenes the most. I hope Ms. Xi Yue and you two ladies can chat with my grandfather and help me cheer him up!”

Xi Yue immediately became happy at that. ‘Meeting his elders so soon proves that Lan Long genuinely likes my girls.’

However, Lan Long’s face turned cold the instant he got the Zhu family women into the car and shut the door. He went to the driver’s side window and ordered the driver, “Send them to the villa and keep a strict watch over them!”

Only then did the three women realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late. The door was already locked, and they couldn’t get out. Xi Yue anxiously shouted at Lan Long, who was standing outside the car, “What’s the meaning of this? What do you mean by this?”

The car started up, and the partition between the front and back seats rose up. The back seats area now became an enclosed space. No matter how much they knocked or slammed on the windows or partition, no one answered.

Lan Long’s breathing was slightly rapid as he watched the car drive away. There was no doubt that the battle between him and the Shi family brothers had come to a head. ‘Then there’s no need to be polite,’ Lan Long thought.

In the hospital, the private nurses kneeled on the floor in fear. “Young Master!” Chen Tao ran over in frustrated anger. “The surveillance cameras didn’t catch the old master leaving the hospital!”

Lan Long didn’t say anything. He gently tapped his forehead with his knuckles again and again, combing through every detail. A flash of inspiration suddenly hit him, and he took a deep breath. He then dialed that familiar number. After a long while, someone picked up.

“Yun Nan, it’s me.” Lan Long’s voice sounded a little hoarse to his own ears.

“Mr. Lan, what can I do for you?” Yun Nan’s voice was calm as usual.

Lan Long cleared his throat to make his voice smoother, and told her, “Yun Nan, my grandfather is missing.”

Yun Nan didn’t speak.

“I can’t think of anyone else aside from you who can make my grandfather follow obediently,” Lan Long continued, his voice so mild it was as if he was talking about something unimportant.

Lan Long’s tone was nearly entirely flat when he spoke next: “State your conditions, Yun Nan. Or, I can use your good friend Fang Xi’s family as an exchange.”

“What? Fang Xi’s family? Who are you talking about?” Yun Nan finally responded, but the subject she was concerned about was Fang Xi’s family. Lan Long’s worried heart finally eased. This meant that his grandfather was with the Shi family, and from what he knows of Yun Nan, at least his grandfather wouldn’t suffer in their hands. Now, it was just a matter of terms.

Lan Long forced himself to be patient and uttered, “Tell me, what do you guys want?”

Yun Nan was furious at his attitude. “What do you mean ‘what do we want?’ The question is, what do you want?! What exactly are you trying to do? Where did the artistes signed with Yun Entertainment go? I don’t believe it has nothing to do with you! Also, you have to give us an explanation for what happened to Xiang Yang!”

“Alright! I can tell you anything you want to know, but I want to see my grandfather! Give Grandpa back to me!” Lan Long was already gritting his teeth as he finished his last sentence.

“Young Master!” Chen Tao cried out, staring at Lan Long fixedly.

Lan Long waved his hand at him and said, “Grandpa is safe for now. The Shi family must have hidden him away. Go gather everyone immediately. We are going on a head-on war with the Shi family.”

“Miss Shi c-came to the hospital y-yesterday. Old Master Lan chased after her when he s-saw her figure and c-called her ‘Yang Yang,’ but he didn’t c-catch up to her,” a nurse stammered.

Chen Tao was stupefied. He stepped forward and kicked the nurse to the ground. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

The nurse held her hands to the spot where she was kicked and didn’t dare to make a sound. ‘Old Master Lan calls Miss Yun and Miss Shi “Yang Yang” everytime he sees them. All of us got used to it and thought the old man called every young lady by that name!’

Chen Tao took out his phone and checked the surveillance footage. He quickly found Shi Xiu’s car and showed it to Lan Long. “Find out where it went immediately!” Lan Long ordered.

“They’re at the Shi family’s seaside villa!” It didn’t take Chen Tao much effort to find that out because Shi Xiu didn’t make any attempts to hide her whereabouts. She first went to find Yun Nan, and then the two women returned to the Shi family residence together with Old Master Lan.

Bang! Lan Long slammed his fist on the table and turned to leave. “There’s no need to keep these people around!” he coldly uttered before he left.

Chen Tao followed behind him and gestured to his subordinates. When everyone had reached the underground parking lot, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the building, and blood flowed like a river in the nurse’s station. Lan Long sat in the car and slowly closed his eyes.

‘Xiang Yang, you forced me to do this. You forced me to where I am today, step-by-step.’ Lan Long mentally stated. ‘What’s wrong with staying as that energetic and high-spirited girl by my side? Why did you have to escape? Why did you fall in love with someone else? How am I supposed to accept that?’

“Tell Miss Hong that Xiang Yang is at the Shi family’s residence. She has permission to use the weapons in the warehouse freely without having to report to me,” Lan Long ordered glacially.

Chen Tao froze. “Should I tell Mr. Lou?” he asked tentatively.

Lan Long shook his head slowly. “Mr. Lou is stuck in ‘Vision of Eternity.’ It’s been raided by the police.”
