Chapter 19: The Dragon Has Reverse Scales, Touch Them and You Shall Die!
Ye Feng took the mobile phone and asked directly, "Are you Chu Min from the Chu Family?"
"Indeed, it is I!" Chu Min retorted coldly.
"Was Hong Qingyan taken by you?" Ye Feng asked again.
"Correct, she is currently in my hands!" Chu Min’s voice was equally frosty.
"Very well," Ye Feng nodded, then continued, "You can start making preparations now."
Chu Min was taken aback and asked back, "Prepare, prepare what?"
Ye Feng enunciated, "Prepare a coffin for yourself."
At the end of that sentence, Ye Feng hung up the phone, with no intention of wasting words with the other party.
Such trash, in Ye Feng’s eyes, were like ants, completely unworthy of his time!
Hong Zhenguo, however, was stunned and blinked before saying, "That was it... You hung up just like that?"
"What else did you expect, to beg them to show mercy and let Hong Qingyan go?"
Ye Feng sneered with a wave of his great hand, "Seventeen, let’s go, get the car ready."
Seventeen didn’t waste any words and started pushing the wheelchair out.
Hong Zhenguo came to his senses and quickly called out, "But Mr. Ye, we still don’t know where Qingyan is?"
"There’s no need to know, we’re going straight to the Chu Family!" Ye Feng said without turning back.
Looking at the silhouette sitting in the wheelchair, Hong Zhenguo couldn’t help but sigh deeply, "Indeed, a sovereign of his generation, daunting and imperious, never easily subjected to others."
Hong Zhenguo was very clear, the Chu Family was doomed next, given the temperament of that sovereign. If Chu Min did not hand over Hong Qingyan obediently, it was very likely that today, the Chu Family would be drenched in blood.
The car was ready, parked in the courtyard, the same Toyota Alphard that now seemed to be Ye Feng’s designated vehicle.
But just as the three of them settled into the car, Hong Zhenguo’s mobile phone rang again, still Chu Min calling.
"Tell that worthless son-in-law of the Hong Family to immediately sever his own hands and feet, then crawl before me, kowtow, and apologize. I’ve sent the address to your phone. Otherwise, be prepared to pick up the pieces for Hong Qingyan!"
Chu Min seemed genuinely enraged, his tone seething.
At this point, Hong Zhenguo was surprisingly calm, knowing who he was sitting next to. He chuckled and said, "Chu Min, Mr. Ye also has a message for you."
"Mr. Ye says if you so much as touch a hair on Qingyan’s head, he will annihilate the Chu Family to the last member." Having said that, Hong Zhenguo hung up the phone without giving the other side any chance to respond.
If it were the Martial Alliance, it might have been another story, and the Hong Family would not dare to provoke them, as after all, Hong Zhenguo couldn’t be sure how long the sovereign at his side would stay in Jiangdu. But the Chu Family alone was not something he would consider a concern.
"Mr. Ye, that old thing from the Chu Family just called saying they’ve sent the address, should we check to see if we should go..."
"No need!" Ye Feng interrupted directly, speaking coldly, "Straight to the Chu Family!"
As a sovereign from a former era who once stood guard over the land with his might, staining the rivers and hills with blood, the number of enemies who fell at his hands were countless. There was no situation he hadn’t seen, not a few words, nor even the sky falling, could frighten him.
Moreover, Ye Feng knew from the call earlier that as long as he had not made an appearance, Hong Qingyan would temporarily be safe, as the real target for the other party was him, with Hong Qingyan merely a means to an end. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, it was exactly because of this, that Ye Feng was most furious. Had the Chu Family targeted him directly, he might have been willing to turn a blind eye.
But now, the Chu Family had touched Ye Feng’s bottom line, just as it is said that the dragon has a reverse scale, touch it and you die!
On the other side of Jiangdu, along the Jiangdu River, one would come upon a row of neatly arranged villas.
These villas were indeed the property of the Chu Family, and members of the Chu Family also lived here.
The car broke straight through the fence, roaring as it entered, the villa complex backed by mountains and faced the river, with the Chu Family building an estate at the mountain’s base. In a place like today’s Jiangdu, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, owning such an estate showed the family’s powerful status and strength.
The main gate of the Chu Family estate was tall and imposing, made of the finest nanmu wood; however, with a sudden bang, it was kicked into a broken mess.
After Seventeen retracted his foot, he turned to push the wheelchair, leisurely making his way inside.
"God damn, who’s so bold as to come here and wreak such havoc!" In the midst of speaking, seven or eight security guards rushed out.
Ye Feng said, "Personal grudge, those who don’t want to die, get out of the way!"
Perhaps it was Seventeen’s kick just now, topped with the murderous aura of the man currently sitting in the wheelchair, that scared the security guards into not daring to advance any further.
Like this, Ye Feng sat in the wheelchair and went straight to the largest villa.
Members of the Chu Family, hearing the commotion, hurried out from inside.
"Who dares to act so recklessly, tired of living, are you? To actually run wild on the Chu Family’s own turf!" The first to rush out was a chubby middle-aged man, none other than the eldest son of Chu Min, Chu Xionghe, also the father of Chu Tiange.
"So it’s you! You even dared to come to us; damn dog things!"
As the saying goes, sworn enemies are particularly hostile when they meet, and Chu Xionghe, with a wave of his arm, roared, "What are you standing there for, go on, kill that cripple on the wheelchair for me!"
Ye Feng didn’t move, sitting on the wheelchair, as immovable as a mountain, just as he had been in the face of thousands of enemy troops, let alone these few Little Luoluos.
Seventeen moved, darting out with a whoosh, and within five seconds, more than a dozen security guards were lying around in disarray.
This was also what Ye Feng had previously instructed, to hold back against those not involved, no need to break arms and legs.
Over the years, Ye Feng had adhered to one principle: heaven leaves a line of survivability in everything, so he never killed the innocent wantonly. Of course, he would not be lenient either, and when faced with vicious and ruthless people, his methods were often even crueler than others.
Chu Xionghe’s face changed, and without another word, he turned and ran inside, dialing a number on his phone as he went.
Seventeen didn’t give him the chance and acted immediately to capture him.
With a crack, Chu Xionghe’s hand that was holding the phone was rendered useless, causing him to scream in agony right there and then.
Ye Feng maneuvered the wheelchair over, picked up the cell phone from the ground, and just happened to hear Chu Min’s anxious voice on the other end.
"Hello, Xionghe, what’s happening? Speak up, what’s the trouble?"
Ye Feng said coldly, "Chu Min, right? My name is Ye Feng, and I’m at your Chu Family’s place right now. Your son’s hand has been broken and he can’t talk to you now."
On the other end, Chu Min roared, "You bastard, let me tell you, if you dare touch my... don’t blame me for fighting you to the death!"
Ye Feng remained cold, "Remember what I told you, you now have half an hour to come here, and you’d better bring Hong Qingyan with you, unharmed."
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
As a mighty Acting King, he was used to others seeking an audience with him; he had never been the one to actively make house calls.
