Otherwise… it would probably be very difficult to take him away.

Ah-Zhong was secretly shocked. "Mobilize the Iron Guards… would that be too brazen…? What if Madam finds out…"

Yin Heng's expression darkened, and he shot his confidant a cold glance. "Mother handed the Iron Guards to me, so they're naturally my people and listen to my commands. Is there a problem with that?"

Although Ah-Zhong still held onto his worries, he could do nothing but obey Yin Heng's orders in the end.

On the surface, Yin Yuerong had handed the Iron Guards to Yin Heng, which was essentially the same as acknowledging Yin Heng's status as her heir. However, there were still many people in the Yin family standing on Si Yehan's side.

It would be fine if Si Yehan didn't return. However, the moment Si Yehan returned, the will of the people wouldn't be with Yin Heng even if Yin Heng possessed the Iron Guards.

Originally, Yin Heng still had a fighting chance after obtaining Qin Xiyuan's support. Who would've expected Yi Yunmo to pop up out of nowhere and take a fancy to Si Yehan? Hence, the members of the Yin family were currently observing the circ.u.mstances and didn't dare to disclose their positions.

In this kind of situation, it was no wonder Yin Heng felt anxious.

…

In Yun City:

In the evening, after school let out, several Nie family guards escorted Tangtang home like usual.

As the car drove smoothly and reached a slope, the wheels suddenly shook and the brakes were slammed urgently.

Their car was stopped.

"Young Master, be careful!" Guards immediately guarded Tangtang behind them, afraid he would be frightened.

Tangtang expressionlessly turned to the group of men in black, a thoughtful expression revealed on his fair face.

"Who dares to try to abduct our Young Master Nie? Do you want to die?!" a Nie family guard shouted coldly.

The leading man icily demanded, "Hand over Nie Tangxiao, and we can spare your lives."

"Who are you?! You simply want to die…"

Midway through the guard's words, Tangtang glanced at the men and expressionlessly said, "You're from Tianshui City."

He was clearly just a young child, but his eyes contained a depth that didn't match his age. Moreover, he didn't bear a trace of panic.

When the leader heard this, he was startled. How did this child guess?

"Are you from the Yin family?" Tangtang continued.

"Yin family… from Tianshui City?"

"What? From the Yin family?"

The expressions of several of the Nie family guards changed.

"How did you know?" The leader wore a strange expression.

If it was a guard who said that, he could understand, but this was a child…

The men looked at each other, bewildered. People said the Little Young Master of the Nie family was very intelligent, and he indeed appeared so.

Tangtang revealed a childish smile. "I was guessing! I didn't expect to have guessed right."

Guessed?

The leader was suspicious but didn't think deeper when he met the eyes of the young child.

Yin Heng issued an absolute order for this mission. Even if it was a life and death struggle, they still must take the child with them.

They were still in Yun City, the Nie family's territory, after all, so to avoid alarming too many people, they had to make it a quick fight. If these people resisted, then everyone had to die.

They couldn't delay any longer!

The leader was about to order his men to kill everyone without mercy when his deputy suddenly walked toward Tangtang and affably said, "Heh, Little Young Master, it's like this—your grandmother would like to see you, so can we please trouble you to come with us?"
