Chapter 208 — Yang Ce Is My Friend

Beyond that, however, I still had to agree to one more thing for the mysterious boss. He hasn't named it yet, but sooner or later it will have to be honored, and it is certain to be a most difficult thing.

Fortunately, the mysterious boss also said that if I helped him get Yang Ce under control, that debt could be canceled. That's why I wanted you to..."

Tian Yan was stunned by his father's words! Was this still the same father who, when he was small, had taught him that one must live by loyalty and honor? How had he now become so mercenary?

"What do you want me to do?" Tian Yan's tone was somewhat cold, and his impression of his father had plummeted at once. Earlier, when his father had turned against the Sun family, Tian Yan had thought it improper but had not said much. After all, there was much he did not understand; perhaps the Sun family really had done something to wrong the Tian family, which had driven his father to this.

But now, to repay that mysterious boss behind the scenes, his father actually wanted him to harm Yang Ce—was that the act of a true man?

"Find a way to lure him to our home as a guest. You needn't worry about the rest," Tian Long said. "Once he sets foot on my territory, I'll have my arrangements ready."

At these words from Tian Long, the towering image of his father collapsed with a crash in Tian Yan's heart, and the last shred of respect scattered to the winds. Tian Yan would not—could not—do such a thing!

True, he had not known Yan long, but Yang Ce was absolutely someone worthy of being a friend, a brother! From the way he bore no grudge against Wang Xue, one could see the magnanimity of Yang Minlan among friends.

Wang Xue had already been wronged by Yang Puqi once. How could he, Tian Yan, wrong Yang Ce a second time? That was absolutely impossible. Even if it killed him, he would not do it.

If he truly did such a thing, Tian Yan felt he would be worse than a pig or a dog. So after hearing his father's words, Tian Yan denied them at once, firmly and without hesitation: "No. I won't do it. Yang Ce is my friend. I will not harm him!"

"You..." Tian Long had not expected Tian Donghua to be so unyielding on this matter, which caught him off guard! Originally, Tian Long had thought this the simplest of matters and that Tian Yan would surely agree. But now they had reached a deadlock!
