Outside the sanatorium lay a vast expanse of woods. It was spring, and while it wasn't teeming with bird songs and blossoms, the lush greenery offered a pleasant view.
Yang Chen sat at the edge of the forest in an old pavilion that seemed rarely visited. The benches were covered in dust, but he didn't mind and sat down anyway.
A middle-aged man stood at the other end of the pavilion, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His face showed signs of age and contemplation, and he remained silent, seemingly pondering what to say.
A young man stood outside the pavilion, his expression cold and posture rigid. He occasionally glanced at Yang Chen with a complex look in his eyes.
These two were Fang Zhongping, Tang Tang's biological father who had pursued Tang Wan for decades without success, and his bodyguard, Du Gu Zui, whom Yang Chen had previously defeated effortlessly.
