Chapter Twenty-Nine: Foes Cross Paths

The key was crafted from pure gold, adorned with many silver-colored special material embellishments. Although small, it depicted a great dragon, coiling and twisting, a unique ornament for the owners of the Dragon Manor. The authenticity of this key was immediately evident.

"Indeed."

Upon receiving the key, the captain's brow furrowed with concern. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly glared at Ye Wushang and reprimanded, "Kid, how do you have a key to our community?"

"Each owner only has one key, and this is the key to the most expensive villa, number 101, in our community."

"Speak! Did you steal it or rob it? If you can't explain yourself, I won't let you off easy!"

With a glance from the captain, two security guards immediately surrounded the siblings, blocking their way.

Seeing this, Ye Wuyou's heart tightened, and she instinctively grabbed Ye Wushang's arm, whispering, "Brother, is this house really your friend's?"

"In such an expensive community, especially the most expensive villa, how could we afford it?"

"Are you mistaken?"

Ye Wushang shook his head, reassuring her, "It's fine, Wuyou. Let me handle this."

Taking a deep breath, he coldly stared at the captain and declared, "I am indeed the owner of villa 101. I neither stole nor robbed."

"There should be personal information about owners in your property department. If you don't believe me, go check for yourself!"

When An Lan had given him the key, she had specifically emphasized that she had changed the owner information to his name, which was also why he couldn't refuse her.

"Damn it, you still dare to talk back?"

Seeing Ye Wushang refuse to admit anything, a scrawny security guard flew into a rage and pulled out a rubber baton.

But before he could act, the captain stopped him, shaking his head, "You two stay here and watch. I'll verify with the property management."

"Don't act rashly until I give the order."

Although he didn’t think these two looked like the owners, the fact that Ye Wushang had produced the key and requested verification from him gave off an air of confidence that perhaps it was true.

Working as a security guard, besides earning a living, he also hoped to meet some influential person and make a leap in status. After five years, while he had yet to encounter the right opportunity, he was even more reluctant to stir up trouble.

"Yes, Captain."

With that, the captain hurried inside the community with the key. The two security guards forced Ye Wushang and his sister outside, sneering, "You still dare to trouble our captain to verify?"

"Just wait; when he comes back and finds out you've been lying, see if I don't smash your teeth out!"

Hearing this, Ye Wuyou's face darkened, and she worriedly said, "Brother, why don't we just leave?"

"Look at how fierce they are; they definitely won't let us off easily later."

"I know you want me to have a good life, but don’t take risks. That key, you can't possibly be..."

"Wuyou."

Ye Wushang interrupted, holding her shoulders with both hands, speaking earnestly, "That key is truly mine; we have a place to stay here."

"Soon, when they verify things, it will be clear."

"Trust me, brother would never lie to you. I would never engage in anything illegal."

"But brother..."

"Shh!"

Before Ye Wuyou could argue further, the sudden screech of brakes interrupted them. A black Audi A8 pulled up at the entrance, and Sun Chuan Zhi got out from the driver's seat, quickly moving to the back to open the door.

Lan Ruoxue and her mother, Zhao Xiuying, stepped out of the car.

"Well, if it isn't Ye Wushang!"

"What, you moved to this Dragon Manor too? Looks like you struck it rich after getting kicked out!"

Sun Chuan Zhi teased with a smile, leading the two women over.

Upon seeing Ye Wushang, Lan Ruoxue's brows furrowed slightly, a mixture of emotions swirling within her. She was here for the An family's auction today, but to help her, Sun Chuan Zhi had specifically bought a property here.

This was to establish a closer relationship with the An family, showing them her sincerity. Also, this was the best property in Jinghan, which her mother had long wanted to visit.

Thus, she had come to see the house Sun Chuan Zhi bought, although he claimed he wanted to gift it to her. However, she didn't want any favors without a return.

Currently, she wasn't interested in dating, nor did she want to have any business dealings with Sun Chuan Zhi. So she just intended to bring her mother to have a look, but unexpectedly, she ran into Ye Wushang here!

Especially when she saw Ye Wuyou beside him, she was shocked. Wasn’t her sister always in a dazed state? How could she look so normal now, with bright eyes and energetic spirit? When had she gotten better?

"Sister-in-law..."

Ye Wuyou was also surprised, but as soon as she spoke, Ye Wushang pulled her back, shaking his head to signal her to stop.

"Hey, you, come here."

Sun Chuan Zhi waved to the scrawny security guard, asking, "What's going on? What are these two doing here?"

The guard didn't recognize Sun Chuan Zhi but saw his expensive car and his demeanor, which exuded the air of a wealthy young master.

The woman beside him was tall and beautiful, clearly someone of wealth. Not wanting to delay, he quickly approached and respectfully said, "Sir, they claim to be owners of our Dragon Manor."

"They even showed the owner's key, but our captain was unsure, so he went to verify with the property management."

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Sun Chuan Zhi couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Idiot, do you want to kill me with laughter?"

"If you're an owner here, then I must be the developer!"

"You're really not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue; what nonsense you dare to say! I might not be impressed by anyone else, but you certainly stand out!"

Zhao Xiuying scoffed, sneering, "Idiot, having known you for three years, how did I not realize that besides washing clothes and cooking, you also have the talent for boasting?"

"You say you're an owner here; do you know how much it costs per square meter?"

"Even if we sold you, you couldn't afford a single brick here!"

Like others in the Lan family, this former mother-in-law had never shown Ye Wushang any kindness in three years of marriage.

She would scold and hit him, and even his laundry was done by Ye Wushang!

"Hey."

Lan Ruoxue sighed, shaking her head, "Wushang, earlier at the clubhouse, you could admit you weren't following me."

"But now that we meet here, how do you explain this?"

"You've met grandpa, and we've clarified; we are no longer from the same world. I cannot remarry you!"

"Even if you chase me here, I still won't agree."

Saying this, she glanced at Sun Chuan Zhi, emphasizing, "By the way, let's forget about asking you to apologize to Wang Jiaolong."

"Through Chuan Zhi's mediation, the Wang family has already let it go."

"From now on, handle your affairs calmly; don't get into conflicts with others. I can't help you every time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushang frowned, looking suspiciously at Sun Chuan Zhi, "You settled things with Wang Jiaolong?"

"Of course! If I hadn't settled it, do you think you could stand here peacefully?"

Sun Chuan Zhi stood tall, his face full of arrogance.

In truth, he was also puzzled. At that time, Xu Wei had called him, telling him to speak to the Wang family.

But the Wang family was a prominent clan, and he had no way to communicate. In desperation, he had to ask his father for help.

Just as he agreed, Lan Ruoxue had walked out of the Jiaolong Group, clearly indicating that the Wang family had backed down.

He hadn't expected his usually slow father to show such efficiency this time.

"Alright, I don’t want to waste more time with you."

"I bought a property here, and I need to take my aunt to see it."

"Later, I still need to secure the An family's agency for Ruoxue. I'm too busy to deal with you, waste!"

Sun Chuan Zhi disdainfully glanced at Ye Wushang, then turned to the two security guards, reminding, "You two probably don't know, but this idiot is like a mad dog; he bites anyone he sees. Relying on a bit of skill, he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!

You should hurry and get rid of him; if he hurts any owners coming in or out, you’ll be the ones in trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the two security guards exchanged glances, tightening their grips on their rubber batons.

This guy spoke so arrogantly, looking like he could go off any moment. If he really hurt an owner, they would be finished.

"Idiot, why are you still standing there? Hurry and take your silly sister and leave!"

"Do you really want the security to kick you out?"

Seeing Ye Wushang and his sister still frozen in place, Zhao Xiuying, who had always thought he had wasted her daughter's three years of youth, was extremely dissatisfied.

If possible, she would prefer to never see him again.

Originally, she had come to check out the new house in a good mood, but now she felt utterly displeased!
