Chapter 126: He's Like a Dog! Yan Lingxiao's Despair!
[Location: Riverside Luxury Mansion - Main Living Room]
At this moment, Aunt An Zhiyue was furious. Her face was stern, her posture radiating martial intent.
She had warned Yan Lingxiao not to cause trouble just a few days ago at the pier. She had been polite. She had been diplomatic.
But he ended up creating such a huge mess—massacring the Jin Family—that it made headlines worldwide. He clearly didn't put her, or the authority of Yanxia, in his eyes.
After Shen Anyu provided the [Guiyuan Pill], [Yangqi Pill], and [Vitality Pill], An Zhiyue's condition had reached an unprecedented level. Her internal injuries were gone, her meridians were wider, and her Qi was denser.
She was now at the [Late Stage] of a Martial Dao Grandmaster, almost on the verge of breaking through to the [Peak]. She was stronger than she had ever been.
At this moment, An Zhiyue was confident that she could kill Yan Lingxiao head-on. She would assert Yanxia's prestige both domestically and internationally, letting everyone know that the land of Yanxia was a mercenary forbidden zone, and no one should mess with it!
"Yan Lingxiao is a top international mercenary, known as the Lingxiao War God. His War God Alliance is powerful... but in Yanxia, even a giant dragon must lie prostrate!"
An Zhiyue's beautiful eyes were full of majesty. A dangerous existence like Yan Lingxiao absolutely had to be captured or eliminated.
Previously, an elder from the Imperial Capital appreciated Yan Lingxiao, which hindered An Zhiyue's actions. But after Yan Lingxiao wiped out the Jin Family, the An Family's Old Master slammed the table in the Politburo meeting, and that elder had nothing more to say. The leash was off.
At this moment, An Zhiyue was in full command of several special forces teams—Fire Phoenix, Wolf Fang, and others—encircling and capturing Yan Lingxiao and other ruthless members of the War God Alliance!
Beep beep!
Just then, An Zhiyue received a message on her secure tactical tablet. Her expression slightly changed, sharpening.
She urgently said to Shen Anyu:
"I received news. Yan Lingxiao has infiltrated Modu. His whereabouts have been discovered near Ankang Hospital. We need to go block him immediately."
"You stay at home, An'yu. It's best not to go out. Otherwise, if such a ruthless person implicates you, it won't be good."
Shen Anyu was not surprised. Because the one who reported Yan Lingxiao's whereabouts... was his person. The intel came directly from his network.
Seeing Aunt An Zhiyue's hurried appearance, he immediately urged, his face full of concern:
"Aunt, you must be careful. He is dangerous."
"Mm! I will."
An Zhiyue left in a hurry, her cape swirling behind her.
Shen An was not worried. Because his Aunt's current martial arts cultivation was a step stronger than Yan Lingxiao's now. And she also had [Vitality Pills], [Yangqi Pills], and other elixirs on her for emergency recovery. Coupled with their numerical advantage and home-field advantage... how could Yan Lingxiao and his people be their opponents?
Moreover, Yan Lingxiao still had Shen An's spy, the [Nanometer Monitoring Robot], stuck to his second-in-command. If there was a real emergency, Shen An would quickly take action.
After An Zhiyue left, Ruan Lingshan's clear, deer-like eyes were filled with adoration and admiration.
"Master... your Aunt is truly a heroine! Lingshan admires her so much! She looks so cool!"
Shen Anyu smiled as he embraced his little maid, pulling her onto his lap.
"Of course. My Aunt is the General Instructor of the Yanxia Phoenix Special Forces. The Female War God in the military, nicknamed the Phoenix War God."
Ruan Lingshan blinked her large eyes, looking curiously at Shen Anyu as he stood up.
"Master... are you leaving?"
Seeing Shen Anyu suddenly stand up and adjust his suit, Ruan Lingshan showed a surprised expression. Didn't Master's Aunt just tell Master not to leave?
"Mm. I'm leaving... but later."
Shen Anyu looked at his sweet and lovely little maid with a smile, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.
"Come... let's play on the sofa for a while. To pass the time."
"Ah~" Ruan Lingshan gasped, biting her lip, her face flushing red.
At the same time, Shen Anyu casually swiped his hand through the air, summoning a holographic screen only he could see. He leisurely checked the images transmitted back by the [Nanometer Monitoring Robot].
He narrowed his eyes, his smile playful and cruel.
"Tsk tsk... miserable. Like a dog~"
...
One Hour Ago.
[Location: Ankang Hospital - Modu]
Yan Lingxiao, accompanied by a few of his trusted subordinates and right-hand men—Dark Asura, Man Hu, Qingque, and the hacker Bai Ze—had disguised themselves. They changed their appearance, entering Ankang Hospital with fake identities as medical staff and patients.
"Yuhe... Luoxiao..."
Yan Lingxiao's eyes held both apprehension and excitement.
As a Wolf King who lived by the sword, he still had a woman and a daughter. This realization made him unable to help but be excited, but also apprehensive and nervous like a schoolboy.
Bai Ze, a Grandmaster level expert under Yan Lingxiao and a world-class hacker, chuckled as he tapped on his tablet.
"Boss, I've already infiltrated the hospital system. I found the wards of the Big Sister-in-law and Niece, as well as the surveillance feeds. Should we go now?"
"Let's... let's check the surveillance first."
Yan Lingxiao was a little nervous.
Even on a battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting, he, the dignified Lingxiao War God, wasn't nervous at all. He exuded an overbearing aura that crushed morale. But now? His palms were sweating from nervousness.
Bai Ze, Dark Asura, Man Hu, Qingque, and other trusted subordinates all showed kind smiles, understanding their boss's nervousness and anticipation.
Subsequently, everyone gathered around the tablet to watch the surveillance feed.
Naturally, there was no surveillance inside the VIP ward itself due to privacy, but there were cameras at the hospital entrance and in the corridors leading to it.
Soon, they found the surveillance footage of Luo Yuhe and Luo Xiaoxiao from earlier that day.
Watching the footage, Luo Yuhe was exquisitely beautiful, gentle, and quite heroic despite her injuries. While Luo Xiaoxiao was cute and lively, skipping down the hall.
Yan Lingxiao's gaze softened involuntarily. These were his woman and daughter. His family.
The brothers next to him, such as Dark Asura, were also quite envious. For mercenaries who lived by the sword, family was truly a rarity.
However... the subsequent surveillance footage caused Yan Lingxiao's eyes to split with rage.
His mindset exploded!
Dark Asura, Qingque, and others gasped, showing sympathy and shared indignation.
A peerlessly handsome young man appeared on the screen.
He was embracing Luo Yuhe and Luo Xiaoxiao intimately.
Yan Lingxiao watched as Luo Yuhe looked at the man with adoring eyes. He watched as Luo Xiaoxiao called him "Daddy" and hugged his leg.
Yan Lingxiao almost had a heart attack.
That family of three... enjoying themselves... laughing... clearly looked like a happy family. A complete family. Without him.
Seeing this scene, Yan Lingxiao gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked. Although he knew such a possibility existed after interrogating Jin Haining (who mocked him with this fact), seeing the happy and warm scene before him with his own eyes was torture.
He was extremely unwilling.
All of this should have been his! It should have been HIS!

...
"Boss... it must be that pretty boy who sweet-talked and deceived the Big Sister-in-law!"
Dark Asura looked at his boss, Yan Lingxiao, whose face was turning pale then green. He immediately tried to comfort him.
"I've heard that the Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family is a philanderer with many women. He must have tricked the Big Sister-in-law! He is using her!"
"Yes! It must be that Shen who tricked Yuhe and Luoxiao!"
Hearing this, Yan Lingxiao immediately became invigorated and excited. He clung to this explanation.
"As long as I explain everything clearly to Yuhe and Luoxiao... explain the misunderstanding from back then... and explain why I haven't been in contact for the past five or six years... they will definitely forgive me!"
"After all... I am Luoxiao's biological father! Blood is thicker than water!"
He was comforting himself, telling himself that he would compensate them and would definitely make Luo Yuhe and Luo Xiaoxiao happy.
However, just then, Yan Lingxiao's expression suddenly changed. His combat instincts screamed.
He said gravely:
"Do you feel that... this hospital is extremely quiet?"
Man Hu looked around. "This is a private hospital, Boss. So there are definitely fewer people. Rich people like privacy."
"No!" Qingque's eyes flashed with vigilance. She looked around the empty corridor.
She said in a deep voice:
"It's too quiet. Before, we could still see some doctors, nurses, and patients in the lobby. But now that we've arrived at this VIP ward building... we haven't found a single doctor, nurse, or patient."
"It's a trap!"
As powerful experts of the top mercenary group, the War God Alliance, they quickly became alert. They reached for their concealed weapons.
However... it was already too late!
A cold and authoritative voice, like a clap of thunder, suddenly rang out from the end of the corridor:
"You're too late to be alert, Yan Lingxiao!"
"This place is surrounded!"
