The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 879: Chapter 878: The People of Xianwu Mountain Villa

Huo Tian was taken aback for a moment. Naturally, he understood why and gently nodded, saying, ”Since it will affect Young Master Changfeng, we naturally won’t let him stir up trouble for long. The sooner we deal with him, the less harm.”

Ye Qingtian thought the same, so he nodded slightly upon hearing Huo Tian’s words.

After leaving the Ye Family, Ye Litian could no longer hold back his temper and flew into a rage.

”Ye Qingtian, Su Changfeng, just you wait. One day I will take revenge, making you taste the humiliation I suffered today. Don’t think that I will let this go,” Ye Litian said through gritted teeth. Apparently, he was truly filled with hatred.

Beside him, Ye Chenyu did not speak. He knew very well that Ye Litian was extremely angry, nearly going mad. But the fact remained that Su Changfeng was Mr. Wu’s disciple, with complicated forces under his command. She indeed was at the height of her power, and with Ye Litian’s current strength, he was simply no match for her.

If he truly wants revenge, he still needs to rely on Mr. Wu. Only when Su Changfeng loses trust in front of Mr. Wu and no longer has a voice can Ye Litian get his revenge, but such a chance is exceedingly slim.

In Ye Chenyu’s view, Ye Litian’s ability to successfully take revenge now and eliminate Su Changfeng and the others mainly depends on heaven’s will. It’s not something he can decide. Truth be told, even if he exerted all his strength, the results would not be favorable.

”I heard Su Changfeng has a very cute daughter and dotes on her dearly. You should have someone investigate immediately,” Ye Litian said with a smirk.

Yes, Ye Litian intended to target Su Changfeng’s daughter, employing the same underhanded means he often used in the past. Many of his opponents had been eliminated by Ye Litian in this way over the years.

As the saying goes, even thieves have principles; one’s actions should not implicate their family. But in Ye Litian’s eyes, he would use any means necessary to achieve his goals, only caring about the result, not the process. He had no regard for morality.

”Yes!” Ye Chenyu nodded slightly in agreement.

Though Ye Chenyu thought that Ye Litian should lie low, bide his time, and wait for a heaven-sent opportunity instead of rashly provoking Su Changfeng, as it would only make Su Changfeng angrier, which would be very disadvantageous for Ye Litian. Yet, since Ye Litian issued the command, as a subordinate, he could not defy it.

Meanwhile, at the Xianwu Mountain Villa in Jiang City, Sun Mei lay on the ground, half-dead. Ji Hong gave her no chance to breathe, grabbing her and dragging her into the room.

Every day, Ji Hong would throw Sun Mei outside like today, into the icy, snowy outdoors, without any clothes to ward off the cold, letting her feel the chill. Despite Sun Mei’s repeated pleas for mercy, Ji Hong never softened her heart because she knew how cruel and ruthless he once was.

Thinking back to his youth, Ji Hong had also shunned Su Changfeng, never treating him kindly, which often filled her with guilt. Now, Sun Mei dared to treat Su Changfeng in such a manner, which she couldn’t abide. Even if Ji Hong was punishing Sun Mei now, Su Changfeng wouldn’t be grateful or even give her a second glance.

But even without Su Changfeng, for her grandson’s sake, Ye Nianhai would also punish this woman, making her suffer endlessly.

Ji Hong looked at Sun Mei, who lay on the ground, barely breathing. Her lips had turned purple from the cold, her face blue, her lips chapped by the wind. Ji Hong coldly said, ”Tell me quickly about Ye Nianhai’s whereabouts. If I’m in a good mood, I might let you go. If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Despite knowing Sun Hong was just a lackey, a pawn used by others, and likely didn’t have the information she sought, not even understanding who was pulling the strings behind her, Ji Hong still wanted to know any news of Ye Nianhai, even if just a little.

Ji Hong shook her head frantically. After all, she truly didn’t know who was responsible. She merely had a brief encounter with the driver who took Ye Nianhai and couldn’t possibly know the mastermind or his purpose for capturing Ye Nianhai!

”I really don’t know who did it, honestly I don’t. If I knew, I would’ve told you already. You know, I’m just a lackey, how could I possibly understand these things? I beg you, please, spare me this once. I swear I’ll never show up in front of you again, you won’t even catch a glimpse of me. As long as you let me go, I promise to repent, chant Buddhist scriptures every day. I beg you, let me go,” Sun Mei sobbed, her voice interspersed with sobs. Despite her body being uncontrollably cold, she clung to Ji Hong’s leg, pleading incessantly.

Ji Hong looked down at Sun Mei with a gaze full of coldness and said, ”Do you think I would let you go? Still hoping to earn my pity with tears? Think again.”

”I know it was my fault, I failed to recognize your power and offended you, but can you please give me a chance, spare me from this cold torment, I beg you!” Sun Mei pleaded.

”Ha, you, a woman like you, hoping for sympathy. Now you say you can’t endure such torment, but how did you treat Ye Nianhai back then? He was just a newborn, so small and pitiful, did you ever think about whether he would suffer or could bear it? If you had even the slightest bit of compassion, you wouldn’t have treated a newborn like that. For a ruthless woman like you, a thousand deaths wouldn’t be enough, let alone letting you suffer a bit now.” Every time Ji Hong thought of Ye Nianhai crying in the freezing cold, her heart ached terribly. When she looked at Sun Mei again, her eyes were filled with hatred, wishing she could grind Sun Mei’s bones to dust, let alone feel any pity for her.

Ji Hong grabbed Sun Mei’s hair, looking at her coldly before giving her several hard slaps.

Sun Mei’s face, already swollen from the cold, hurt even more after the slaps and she couldn’t help but cry out.

In truth, for someone like Sun Mei who always prioritized self-interest and never considered consequences, whenever her actions caught up to her, she would regret her past deeds. She was just that kind of woman.
