Chapter 70 Tired Heart
“I don’t know these young people very well, especially this Zheng Yunhe. At first he was not very outstanding at all, but at the critical moment he defeated all his brothers and became the head of the Zheng family, so I don’t think I should so simply conclude that he would just let this matter go.”
Song Zhenhai closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
“So what should we do now?” Song Linger said worriedly.
“Let’s go back. I’m a little tired.”
Song Zhenhai actually was not physically tired, but mentally.
This Xiao Shun had caused such a big trouble. If it was just the Sikong family, the Song family would not need to worry at all, but now Xiao Shun had provoked two families. If those two joined forces, even the Song family would not necessarily be their match.
This was why those four families in this city had been maintaining this delicate balance.
The Ouyang family had never meddled in the affairs of other families. And for the other three families, the Song family was only slightly better.
This could be about the survival of the Song family, so he needed to be cautious.
“Oh.” Song Linger nodded silently and said.
At the Zheng residence, Zheng Yunhe played with the delicate and small teacup in his hand with a gloomy face.
“Master, are we really just going to let this matter go?” Ding Gu, the butler, asked.
“Do you think he can meddle in our family’s affairs?” Zheng Yunhe said with a cold snort.
“I want to know more details about that kid. Why did Song Zhenhai personally come to me to speak for him?”
“Understood.” Ding Gu nodded slightly and said.
“Get the car ready. I’m going to visit the Sikong family.”
“Okay.”
…
Zheng Yongzhang returned to Momo Bar after having a quarrel with Zheng Yunhe, and walked into the luxurious box dedicated to him with a few bottles of fancy wine from the bar.
He poured the wine to the brim and drank it all. He immediately felt a burning pain in his abdomen, as if he had never fully recovered from the fall last night.
His eyes inadvertently landed on the two photos sitting on the coffee table and reached out to pick one of them up. He frowned, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously twitched a few times.
I’m going to have to kill you!
He recalled the events of last night. Due to the dim light at that time, he only saw Xiao Shun touch something from his pocket, then he flicked it and he felt a subtle tingle on his forehead, and then he saw a hallucination.
Witchcraft? Hypnosis?
Was this possible?
Originally he did not believe in any supernatural power, but ever since the day he witnessed the man plunge a steel pipe into the ceiling he felt he could no longer deny it.
Could this guy have some supernatural power like the guy that day?
How was that possible? He was just the son-in-law of the Yao family.
If so, this world was really getting crazier and crazier. Things that could only be found in movies were happening in the real world.
Just as he was having all kinds of wild thoughts, a few knocks sounded outside the door.
“Who is it? Don’t fucking bother me!”
“Mr. Zheng, it’s Li Yao.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Zheng Yongzhang had asked Li Yao to inquire about the whereabouts of that man, and when he heard his reply, he eased up a bit and spoke coldly.
“Come in.”
Li Yao pushed open the door and walked in. Naturally he had heard about what happened last night.
When he saw Zheng Yongzhang’s expression, he was a little apprehensive. He knew the fiery temper of this Mr. Zheng, and he was afraid that he might provok him easily. He even regretted a little. He really shouldn’t have come here at this time.
But actually Zheng Yongzhang personally called him to come, so of course he couldn’t just say no. As for the task Zheng Yongzhang gave him, he didn’t have a clue yet. He did see the man’s face at that time, but there were millions of people in this city. That alone made the search really difficult, if not impossible.
“Did you find him?” Zheng Yongzhang asked with an expressionless face.
“Not … yet.” Li Yao stammered.
Zheng Yongzhang grabbed an unopened bottle of wine and smashed it towards him.
Clang!
The bottle landed on the marble floor and the strong smell of alcohol instantly filled the air.
“Piece of shit!” Zheng Yongzhang scolded with a livid face.
Li Yao lowered his head and glanced towards Zheng Yongzhang. He happened to see that photo on the coffee table, and his eyes lit up, “Young Zheng, can I see that photo?”
Zheng Yongzhang didn’t say anything.
Li Yao walked forward, picked up the photo and took a look at it, and said with a surprised face, “Mr. Zheng, isn’t this the man? Where did you get this photo?”
“What did you say?” Zheng Yongzhang said with a frown.
“Yes, that’s him. He threw the steel pipe into the ceiling at the bar that day.” Li Yao looked at the photo several times and said with a serious expression.
“Are you sure?” Zheng Yongzhang grabbed the photo and looked at it.
“Absolutely.” Li Yao once again affirmed.
“Xiao Shun is that man … then it makes sense.” Zheng Yongzhang muttered.
Damn, what a monster I’ve offended!
I was so lucky last night, otherwise I would …
Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear.
Zheng Yongzhang had a moment of panic. He had just kidnapped Xiao Shun’s wife and sent his men to kill him, so now it was clearly impossible to get him to work for him anymore. His very existence was a threat to him.
So, Xiao Shun must die!
No matter how tough you are, you can’t take a bullet and still be alive!
“What’s wrong, Mr. Zheng?” Li Yao noticed Zheng Yongzhang’s expression and asked.
“It’s okay. You might go back.” Zheng Yongzhang said coldly.
…
Meanwhile, in the Sikong residence, Sikong Xing was kneeling on the ground half-naked.
Snap!
A whip viciously landed on his back and a bloody mark immediately appeared on his white skin, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he gritted his teeth.
The rest of the Sikong family also subconsciously felt a chill.
Especially Sikong Xing’s father, Sikong Jie, and his mother, Liu Qingmei, they felt very heartbroken. They had always been proud of their child. He was the best among his siblings. However, today he was punished in front of the whole family.
Snap!
The whip fell again. Beads of sweat poured down along Sikong Xing’s cheeks, and the intense pain had made him feel dizzy. He trembled and almost collapsed.
“Father, stop! Please!”
Liu Qingmei quickly stepped forward and fell to her knees in front of Sikong Xin. She cried out in pain and she hugged his leg.
Sikong Xing felt also heartbroken, looked at his mother and said breathlessly, “Mom, I’m fine. I disgrace the Sikong family and deserve to be punished.”
