Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 225 Hong Yuting's Decision

The name Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family had already become famous throughout Jiangdu.

In the past, Jiangdu was a place where as long as you didn't offend those three families, everything could be discussed. But after Ye Feng's arrival, everything changed. The Lei Family was destroyed, the Fu Family rose to prominence, and the Long Family willingly bowed down, proclaiming allegiance. Throughout the whole of Jiangdu, Ye Feng had long been established as an unquestionable authority.

Didn't the Frenzied Son-In-Law go on a trip to Jiangnan?

Big Golden Tooth complained incessantly. A man's reputation was like the shadow of a tree. For the formidable Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family to deal with a small-time hoodlum like him was akin to courting death without knowing how it even happened.

"From what you're saying, it seems that you would dare to make a move as long as it's not me, right?"

Ye Feng's fists crackled as he clenched them.

The group of over thirty people, all able-bodied, could be doing anything else, yet they chose to be involved in such shameful activities.

"Yes, no, it's not like that, sir, listen to me. Our Fushui Gang wasn't like this before. At most, we've done some work collecting protection fees, and normally we just do some small business deals."

"Sir, you are unaware. Ever since you left, a Sha Family Gang suddenly emerged in Jiangdu and caused chaos. First, the big brother in the city was tragically killed overnight, and then, they also demanded that us small-time bosses from the county towns pay tribute every month with a hefty fee."

"Sir, we were forced to do it. If we can't pay up, we die."

Big Golden Tooth knelt on the ground, covering his face, tears streaming relentlessly, whining with such exaggeration that an uninformed bystander might think he'd lost his parents.

What a performance!

Could you exaggerate any more? Ye Feng watched, his eyebrows raised in disdain, and couldn't help but kick. These tricks were far inferior to those of the assassins from the Mingbei Kingdom.

"Ah!"

Big Golden Tooth covered his mouth as he fell backward. The spot where Ye Feng kicked was precisely where his two dazzling golden teeth were located, an irritating sight to see.

"Cry out one more time, and I'll knock out all your teeth."

Without so much as a glance at the bewildered underlings, Ye Feng dialed a number. The person on the other end said they'd arrive promptly, after which Ye Feng sent a message to a hidden number.

After one minute, the data came out.

Damn it!

Ye Feng looked at the text message on his phone and was stunned. There truly was a Sha Family Gang causing trouble in Jiangdu, and the timeline matched exactly with what Big Golden Tooth had said.

"Sir, who did you just call? The voice sounded somewhat familiar."

Big Golden Tooth asked sorrowfully, covering his swollen corner of the mouth.

"Yan Xu."

Ye Feng responded with a stern face.

Nice name!

Wait a minute, holy shit, could it be the Iron Face Judge Yan Xu?

"Chief Yan?"

Big Golden Tooth's scalp went numb, and upon seeing Ye Feng's dismissive expression, he knew the answer.

Clank! Clank clank!

One by one, iron rods started to drop to the ground. The underlings looked at each other, and none of them spoke a word. They ran, I ran, we joyfully ran together.

Less than a minute later, the scene was deserted, leaving behind only the noticeable iron rods. Big Golden Tooth stayed stunned for a few minutes.

The nerve of them, deserting like that!

The four men lying on the ground were regretting things bitterly. Of all people to cross, they had gotten in trouble with the Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family and with Yan Xu possibly arriving soon, even thoughts of revenge would be worthless, let alone how they would get out of custody.

"It's all because of you, this nonsensical dog, who troubles anyone and everyone, you had to trouble our Lady Ye."

Big Golden Tooth picked up an iron rod and wildly beat the pickpocket who had earlier attacked Hong Qingyan. Overcome by rage and knowing his good days were numbered once Yan Xu arrived, he lashed out.

Ye Feng discreetly looked away from Hong Qingyan. Dog-eat-dog, he couldn't care less. However, he was somewhat surprised. He had not realized the extent of the deterrent force of Black Face Yan's name.

Twenty minutes later, the wailing of police sirens finally arrived.

During this period, Big Golden Tooth and a few others had tried more than once to escape while Ye Feng's back was turned. But before they could even take a second step, it was as though a demon was hysterically shouting at their side:

"You guys, run! If you run, I'll break your legs."

Damn it, need there be so many people?

Watching the two lines of police, nearly two hundred strong, Big Golden Tooth collapsed on the ground. Unquestionable indeed was the clout of the Mad Son-in-law on the Righteous Path.

"Young Master Ye, sorry for the delay. There was a bit of congestion on the road, which made us late," Yan Xu said as he came over, smiling and greeting Ye Feng. He didn't offer a handshake, knowing well he wasn't on par for that.

"There were originally about thirty people. I let them go," Ye Feng declared.

"I'm asking about the Sha Family Gang. What's going on there?" Ye Feng continued, staring intently into Yan Xu's eyes, his aura deadly serious.

Intuition told him that Iron Face Yan Xu was not a person of that ilk; otherwise, he wouldn't be dubbed the Iron Fate Judge by the people of Jiangdu. But how could he tolerate such happenings under his watch?

"This place is crowded and ears are everywhere. Young Master Ye, since you rarely visit Jiangdu, shall we continue this conversation tomorrow?" Yan Xu suggested with a pained expression.

"Hmm!"

Ye Feng nodded. After all, he wasn't planning on leaving Jiangdu within a day or two.

"Take them away!"

Yan Xu gestured with a sweep of his hand, and several officers in uniform approached.

"Hold on."

Ye Feng seemed to remember something and called out.

The officers were puzzled. They didn't recognize Ye Feng or know who he was. However, seeing their chief nodding frantically, they immediately stopped in their tracks.

"My wife's phone was smashed by your men. How are you going to deal with this?"

Ye Feng then approached Big Golden Tooth.

Uh!

"I thought you were going to make a scene, Big Golden Tooth got a scare. He had no doubt that if Ye Feng commanded Yan Xu to throw him into the Jiangdu river, the latter would do it."

"I'll compensate, sir. Just name your price, I'll pay any amount."

The underling who had been beaten until he was dazed nearly passed out again after hearing this sentence. Please, it was she who couldn't hold on to the phone properly and dropped it, okay?

Bullying!

Ye Feng extended two fingers.

"Two thousand?"

Big Golden Tooth glanced at the old phone case in the distance, figuring in his mind that this amount was certainly enough.

"Who the hell do you think you're looking down on, twenty thousand!"

Ye Feng originally wanted to say two hundred thousand, but he thought Big Golden Tooth probably couldn't afford it.

Twenty thousand!

The corner of Yan Xu's mouth twitched, thinking that was Ye Feng just not bored. He looked up at the sky which was really warm and soothing, not letting his eyes, mouth, or mind be distracted.

He still had to pay the twenty thousand!

Big Golden Tooth transferred the money reluctantly, figuring that once it was inside, he might never have to spend money again. The police cars arrived quickly and left just as quickly, taking five people and a bunch of weapons with them.

"Wife, we're rich now. I'll buy you a new phone later."

Ye Feng said with a smile.

Hong Qingyan rolled her eyes at him, feeling too weak to even scoff internally. As the official Chairman of the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce and the King of the Northern Border, was he really so short of cash that he had to resort to swindling these ten or twenty thousand?

"Big Brother Ye, why didn't you ask Chief Overseer Yan to give us a ride just now?"

Hearing Ye Feng was going to buy her a new phone, Hong Qingyan was quite happy. The old phone on the ground was a birthday gift from Grandpa two years ago.

After some thought, Ye Feng said:

"I forgot."

"Shall I call him to come back for us?"

Hong Qingyan: "...".

...

At the Hong Family of Jiangdu, even before Ye Feng and company returned, things were already running full steam ahead with Hong Zhenguo wearing a look of helplessness. He knew Ye Feng didn't like such arrangements, but it was the collective decision of the family, claiming it was to give Ye Feng a sense of belonging to the family. Unable to argue with them, he eventually gave up.

"Big Brother Xiao, I've stewed some chicken soup. It's getting cold, and this should be nourishing for you."

In the courtyard where Xiao Chuanqi lived, Hong Yuting walked in, happily holding a bowl of chicken soup. It wasn't even dark yet, and she was shamelessly lying through her teeth about the weather.

Cold my foot!

In fact, Hong Yuting was wearing a very, very low-cut dress today, and indeed she felt chilly—absolutely cold as a ball. Bringing chicken soup, of course, her intentions weren't solely about the drink.

After the fuss in the Southern River Region Jiangnan and the Southern Territory camp, the members of the Hong Family finally grasped Ye Feng's identity—the King of the Northern Border, wasn't that a high-ranking official?

No wonder Grandpa had treated Ye Feng with such respect!

With this, everyone in the Hong Family, aside from the patriarch Hong Zhenguo, started getting more animated ideas. Now, it was clearly out of the question to try climbing onto Ye Feng's bandwagon, but there was a Plan B.

Getting close to someone around him wasn't a bad idea either!

Here in front of Hong Yuting was one such person—a cold and handsome guy who proclaimed himself as the First Legion Commander of the Northern Border upon his arrival.

"It's not cold, get lost!"

Xiao Chuanqi was sitting in the courtyard, breathing deeply and meditating. The trip to the High Seas had shown him that the gap between himself and Ye Feng had not narrowed at all.

"Big Brother Xiao, I spent all afternoon making this chicken soup. I'll leave it on the table, will you drink it later, please?"

Hong Yuting put on a pitiful face.

"Take it away, and if you dare to step one foot closer, you'll be killed without mercy!"

She hadn't moved, but a sword brimming with murderous intent was already unsheathed, pointed straight at Hong Yuting's throat.

Gulp!

Hong Yuting swallowed nervously, backing away in panic.

"Damn Xiao Chuanqi."

On her way, Hong Yuting couldn't stop cursing inwardly, but she quickly arrived at Sima Zhantian's courtyard and repeated the same routine, same tone.

Sima Zhantian looked deeply at Hong Yuting, or more precisely, at her bust, muttering to himself, "The size is right, too bad she was born in the wrong place."

"Brother Zhan Tian, what are you saying?"

Hong Yuting was thrilled, mistaking Sima Zhantian's reaction for a sign of opportunity.

"Nothing much, I heard that your lord threw you into the pond twice before, well, this is the third time."

Instantly, Sima Zhantian was in front of Hong Yuting and then he flung her into the pond.

With a splash, Hong Yuting was stunned, and after a long time, she yelled frantically: "Sima Zhantian you're inhuman, you jerk, a damned turtle!"

"Swear one more time and I'll twist your head off."

Oh come on!

Hong Yuting felt like crying, what sort of people were these? Was this her home or someone else's? Their threats were always directed at her life.

After getting changed, Hong Yuting arrived at Xia Lengchan's courtyard gate again, only this time, the large door shut with a "bang."

After being rejected three times in a row, Hong Yuting ran crying to Zhang Yuman and said, "Mom, I can't take it anymore, they'll never take me to the Capital or to the Northern Border."

"Mom, I'm going to the Capital myself, right now. I'm going to show that Ye guy that Miss cannot be bullied like this."

With that, Hong Yuting immediately booked a flight.
