As that thunderous shout echoed throughout the venue, all eyes turned to one spot.
There, several figures stood up, among them Hong Tao, He Hong, father and son of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and Zhou Xuan, the head of the Zhou Family!
Beyond them, every mber of the Wang Family stared at the stage with faces full of resentnt, wishing they could tear Ye Feng to pieces right there and then!
"Ye Feng! You've gone too far! Today is the engagent ceremony of my son, who do you think you are!!!"
Hong Tao's gaze brimd with a savage light, like a fierce beast provoked to fury, radiating a nacing aura from every inch of his being!
It wasn't just him; at this mont, Zhou Xuan of the Zhou Family wore a similarly grim expression:
"Ye Feng, what a tactic! Not only have you shad my deceased brother, now you're stealing soone else's daughter-in-law, you truly are shaless!"
Zhou Xuan was none other than the older brother of Shu Yuehua's deceased husband, the eldest son of the elderly lady of the Zhou Family!
The relationship between Shu Yuehua and Ye Feng was already public knowledge, everyone present was aware of it, showing no surprise at this mont, instead, their faces bore a sowhat playful look!
They were eager to see if Ye Feng could withstand the onslaught from the combined forces of the Hong Family, Zhou Family, and Fierce Tiger Gang!
The unification of these three great powers was undoubtedly a colossal force that could dominate Jiangnan, and although Ye Feng had so mystery about him, the crowd still didn't favor his chances!
At this mont on the stage, Ye Feng quietly embraced Chouchou in his arms, his eyes cold as he stared at the few n before him!
"Yuehua, was it your Zhou Family that forced her to commit suicide?"
Ye Feng's gaze swept over Hong Tao and the others, finally settling on Zhou Xuan, his eyes flashing with wild ferocity.
"Hmph! Nothing but a shaless whore!"
Zhou Xuan's lips curled up, his cold deanor growing even colder:
"Shu Yuehua was unfaithful, shaless! She betrayed my deceased brother, having an affair with you. Even drowning such a wretch in a pig cage would be too kind! Jumping off a building to commit suicide was too easy an end for her!"
Zhou Xuan's words reached Ye Feng's ears, causing his expression to shift slightly, followed by the ergence of a cruel curve on his lips.
"What a Zhou Family! Very good!!!"
Having said that, Ye Feng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the rage within:
"Zhou Xuan, before I ca here, an elder personally called
to plead on behalf of your Zhou Family. But now, your words have extinguished the last glimr of hope for your clan!"
After speaking, when Ye Feng opened his eyes again, the murderous intent in his gaze was unmistakable.
However, his words took Zhou Xuan aback, followed by a fit of rampant laughter.
"Haha... are you an idiot? Soone called you to plead for my Zhou Family, what do you think you are! Our Zhou Family doesn't need anyone's pity, nor do we need to plead with you!!!"
Zhou Xuan looked at Ye Feng with eyes filled with disdain and mockery, as if looking at an idiot, a galomaniac.
Not just him, the rest of the crowd also looked at Ye Feng with odd expressions in their eyes.
While the Zhou Family might lack actual power in Jiangnan City, everyone knew that the title of Jiangnan's number one clan belonged to the Zhou Family alone!
For several generations, mbers of the Zhou Family have been high-ranking officials in the provincial committee. Although the current influence of the Zhou Family was not as great as it once was, a centipede dies hard, and the network of relationships of the Zhou Family still existed, with close connections in Yanjing as well!
Especially the elderly Zhou matriarch, she was undoubtedly an elder-level figure in Jiangnan City, with intricate ties to families in Yanjing. Not to ntion Ye Feng rely being a student, even if all the families in Jiangnan City banded together, they might not necessarily be able to suppress the Zhou Family!
This was also the greatest reliance of the Hong Family and the Fierce Tiger Gang; otherwise, they would not have the guts to suppress the Fang Family with such disregard!
When Ye Feng heard Zhou Xuan's words, his expression remained ice-cold. At that mont, his eyes narrowed slightly and his fingers tapped a few tis before he pointed at Zhou Xuan and said:
"Your phone is ringing!"
Huh?
Zhou Xuan was taken aback; he had not heard his cell phone ring at all. Just as he was about to continue mocking Ye Feng, a ringing sound suddenly filled the air.
The mont Zhou Xuan heard the ringtone, he froze. Then, as he took out his phone and saw the caller ID, his whole body shuddered!
He quickly answered the call, his face displaying thick respect as if he were facing his superior or elder, his voice oozing with obsequiousness:
"Grandma, what made you think of calling ? I was just thinking of visiting you in Yanjing! How is your health?"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's respectful words, and especially the ntion of Yanjing, everyone's spirits lifted!
The person calling was most definitely a significant figure, a prominent figure from Yanjing!
Every gaze that turned towards Zhou Xuan was filled with envy and awe, knowing that just because of this alone, the Zhou Family would stand unshakable forever!
However, as ti passed, people began to sense that sothing was amiss because Zhou Xuan's face gradually turned unsightly, especially when he occasionally glanced at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with shock and even a touch of intense fear!
And while everyone was puzzled, Zhou Xuan slowly approached Ye Feng and then handed over the phone:
"Ah... Grandma wants to talk to you!"
Zhou Xuan's hand, holding out the phone, was visibly trembling, and the closer he got to Ye Feng, the more he resembled soone facing a beast that could devour him at any mont, extre terror written all over him!
Ye Feng's face showed no surprise as he slowly took the phone.
"Little lunatic, can't you let them off the hook?" A kind and affectionate voice of an old lady ca from the phone,
Yet Ye Feng's expression remained as indifferent as ever, his voice as chilly as before, "I'm sorry, Grandma Li!"
"Ah! I knew it would co to this! I had always known that Old Lady Zhou's harsh character would lead to trouble! Now...nevermind, I suppose that little rascal must have arrived in Jiangnan City by now. You handle things as you see fit; this old woman won't interfere anymore!"
The voice of the old lady over the phone was full of sighs. However, she seed to be exceptionally familiar with Ye Feng's temperant and had already acknowledged from his tone that there was no room for turning back!
"Thank you, Grandma Li," Ye Feng said, his face finally showing a trace of warmth upon hearing the old lady's words.
"Thanks for what! They brought this upon themselves. No one can save them! When you have the ti, co back for a visit. We old bones are in poor health and counting on you! Oh, and bring those wives of yours along. Let us have a good look and see what they look like! We have all the gifts ready!"
As the old lady spoke, her voice was more and more filled with doting, like that towards a young mber of her own family, full of indulgence and concern!
Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart. Indeed, in Yanjing, he had been very comfortable, and the elders there had treated him like their own kin, without the slightest difference.
Thinking of the deteriorating health of the elders, Ye Feng nodded:
"I'll co back when I have the chance!"
Afterward, Ye Feng continued talking with the old lady for a while, and then he hung up the phone!
But at this mont, the entire place had fallen silent!!!
