Chapter 707: Marriage Alliance

"So, someone proposed a marriage alliance?" Chen Yu said suddenly.

Tang Xinyi was stunned, her delicate body trembling slightly. Yes, a marriage alliance—this was something she had never been willing to think about, and never dared to believe.

Because she hadn't known Guo Xu before, but starting last year, the Guo Family began to take the initiative to show goodwill, introducing clients to the Tang Clan and providing funding for the Tang Clan, which was the only reason the Tang Clan had managed to hold on.

Moreover, Guo Xu had also begun his frantic pursuit of her. If no one in the family had proposed a marriage alliance, how could the Guo Clan have gotten so close to the Tang Clan?

"Impossible, my grandfather wouldn't agree to it." Tang Xinyi shook her head.

"It's impossible for him to agree because you are his most beloved granddaughter," Chen Yu said. "But if someone keeps whispering in his ear, especially when he sees the Tang Clan in imminent danger, do you think he might waver?"

"He does have the intention of exhausting his family wealth, but the Tang Clan has stood in Shengjing for a hundred years. If it collapses in his generation, what face would he have to meet his ancestors?"

Tang Xinyi staggered back a few steps; her face was pale, devoid of any color.

Actually, it wasn't that she hadn't thought of it before, but she hadn't been willing to admit it was true. Once Chen Yu analyzed it for her, she understood everything at once.

"My aunt, Tang Ruofeng—besides her, no one would think of such a malicious scheme," Tang Xinyi muttered to herself.

"It's good that you've figured it out. Just be careful in everything," Chen Yu sighed. "Your grandfather only thinks the Guo Clan can save the Tang Clan, but he didn't expect that the Guo Clan's marriage alliance with you is merely for the purpose of encroachment and annexation. Once you marry into the Guo Clan, the Tang Clan will not be far from destruction."

"Thank you." Tang Xinyi closed her eyes, tears falling from them. "I didn't expect that my grandfather, who has always loved me, would choose to sacrifice me between the survival of the family and me."

Chen Yu looked at Tang Xinyi and sighed slightly. Sometimes he felt that women born into wealthy families were actually a tragedy, because from the moment they were born, they were destined to be sacrificial lambs.

"But I won't yield." Tang Xinyi opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with determination. "No matter what, I will use my life to fight. No matter the result, at least I have tried."

Chen Yu nodded slightly. From this girl, he saw a trace of stubbornness and unyielding spirit. He then smiled and said, "Don't worry. You are so beautiful and so kind; the heavens will help you too."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you for helping me again." Tang Xinyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile.

As they spoke, the two had already reached the parking lot. At this hour, there were not many cars left in the parking lot, and the vast space was quiet.

Tang Xinyi was driving a small BMW Mini. The moment she reached out to open the car door, a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in Chen Yu's heart.

"Watch out!" Chen Yu roared. He lunged forward, grabbed Tang Xinyi, and rolled rapidly to one side.

The moment the two rolled away, with a loud 'Boom—', the driver's side of Tang Xinyi's BMW Mini suddenly exploded.

The driver's cabin of the car exploded violently, and more than half of the front of the car was blown away.

Chen Yu held Tang Xinyi tightly, shielding her beneath his body to keep her from getting hurt.

After the explosion, a cloud of thick smoke drifted from the car body. Chen Yu looked up and saw that the power of the explosion was not great, but such an explosion was aimed specifically at the person in the driver's seat. Someone wanted Tang Xinyi's life.

Tang Xinyi was already frightened out of her wits, her heart pounding violently. It wasn't until Chen Yu helped her up from the ground that she regained her senses.

"Who wants to harm you?" Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice.

"I, I don't know. Our Tang Clan has been doing charity work in recent years and has offended quite a few people..." Tang Xinyi was still shaken, desperately trying to think of who could possibly want her life.

Just then, two black shadows suddenly sprang up from both sides, and at the same time, two cold glints struck from behind Chen Yu.

These were two curved blades; one blade struck toward Tang Xinyi, and the other toward Chen Yu. Moreover, the opponent's movement technique was ghostly, not like the movement techniques of domestic assassins or Martial Artists, but rather more like... ninjas.

Chen Yu shielded Tang Xinyi, then flicked both hands, and several glass shards rose into the air, striking toward the two black shadows behind him.

Two muffled groans rang out, and the two attackers behind them fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

Chen Yu turned his head to see two ninjas in black tight-fitting suits, short in stature, lying on the ground. Their necks had been slashed by the glass shards, and they were already dead.

"They are ninjas." Chen Yu's eyes flashed with sharp light. "Do you have a grudge against the people of Fusang?"

"No, but recently, a Fusang enterprise named 'Shengteng' in Huaxia wanted to acquire shares of our parent company, White-robed Onmyoji. I didn't agree. I don't know what the power behind Shengteng really is." Tang Xinyi shook her head.

"Shengteng, the Dusong Society?" Chen Yu understood.

Shengteng, like Shenyuan, was an enterprise under the Dusong Society. The former president of the Dusong Society, Jiwu Lingtai, had already died in the Dark River of the Witch Clan.

Replacing the president's position was Jiwu Lingtai's son-in-law, Jida, and Jida's real name was Wang Yu. He was a Huaxia person who had infiltrated Jiwu's side just to take revenge.

In the current situation, either Wang Yu did not have enough control over the Dusong Society, which was why there were such reckless actions in Huaxia, or this kid didn't know the meaning of death and was acting recklessly.

"I'll send you back first; I will handle this matter for you," Chen Yu said. "Be careful these next few days. If anything happens, call me."

"Chen Yu..." Tang Xinyi suddenly raised her head. "We are strangers who just happened to meet; I don't know you. Why are you helping me so much? Whether it's Guo Xu or Shengteng, they aren't people ordinary people can afford to provoke. This will implicate you."

"I'm not as weak as you think. Besides, I'm helping you because you and your sister are kind-hearted and have helped many people over the years," Chen Yu said. "Kind people will always have noble helpers in their Life. Just treat me as the noble helper destined for you."

Tang Xinyi stared blankly at Chen Yu, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After sending Tang Xinyi back, Chen Yu dialed a number; it was Wang Yu's phone.

"Mr. Chen?" Upon receiving Chen Yu's call, Wang Yu was a bit nervous, yet also pleasantly surprised.

He had been in Huaxia for these past few days and hadn't returned. He had indeed encountered some troublesome matters, but he didn't know whether he should ask Chen Yu for help. Now that Chen Yu had taken the initiative to call, he was extremely happy.

"Where are you?" Chen Yu asked indifferently.

"I'm in Shengjing handling some matters, Mr. Chen, I..."

"Meet at the Guohua Hotel in half an hour." Chen Yu spat out the words and hung up the phone.

Wang Yu stared blankly at the screen where the call had ended, then hurriedly tidied up and went out.

"Shengteng Group is an enterprise invested in by your Dusong Society in Huaxia," Chen Yu said. "You know about this, right?"
