Jiang Feng returned to the mansion alone.
To him, in order to better protect Nangong Qingcheng, he was long accustomed to being low-key and not showing off.
But if someone sought death by coming to him, he didn't mind fulfilling their wish!
Shi Guanlin sent someone to kill him; returning the favor by taking his dog life wasn't excessive, was it?
If people don't bother me, I won't bother them. But if they do, I'll root them out entirely. This was Jiang Feng's way of doing things.
Back in the room, Nangong Qingcheng, Chu Feifei, and the other girls hadn't touched their chopsticks yet.
Seeing Jiang Feng return, Chu Feifei immediately came up to ask, "Uncle, what did Shi Guanlin want with you?"
"Just talked a bit," Jiang Feng smiled calmly, "Why haven't you all had dinner yet?"
The girls exchanged glances. Just talked a bit? Who would believe that? They all heard Shi Guanlin's tone and attitude on the phone just now, and it was clear Jiang Feng didn't want to tell them what happened.
"Uncle, I heard from my dad that Shi Guanlin was Mr. Scar's sworn brother before. Did he come to trouble you?" Chu Feifei asked in another way.
"No, you don't have to worry. I'll go out after dinner; you all can have fun at home."
Jiang Feng didn't want to tell the girls at home anything involving bloodshed and killing unless absolutely necessary.
And the reason he needed to go out was that Zhu Ge Yuheng called him just now about the news of Mr. Scar appearing. Mr. Scar was not only an enemy of the Chu family but also Jiang Feng's enemy. Now that there was news, Zhu Ge Yuheng didn't dare not inform Jiang Feng.
Chu Feifei saw Jiang Feng didn't want to talk and couldn't insist on asking. She could only return to the table with Nangong Qingcheng and Bai Zhiqing, deeply worried.
Jiang Feng told them he was going out, but didn't say where or when he'd be back. How could they not worry?
The sumptuous meal they had been looking forward to was now tasteless; the dinner was like eating wax.
...
An hour later, Jiang Feng left.
At the same time, North City Bridge Village.
Still on that small wooden bridge at the end of the village entrance.
After coming here, Shi Guanlin exaggerated the entire process, adding fuel to the fire with some defamation and exaggeration, even dragging Elder Qiu into it to anger him.
"Elder Qiu, that's the situation. You have to help me this time. That Jiang fellow was utterly disrespectful, not even taking notice when I mentioned your name."
"Relentless, that young man is indeed audacious." Elder Qiu sneered. He hadn't really taken Jiang Feng seriously before, but Jiang Feng's disrespectful words this time made him lose his cool.
Moreover, knowing that the people sent by the Demon Moon Alliance were all defeated by Jiang Feng, he finally felt that this little-known figure had the qualifications for him to make a move!
"That's right, that little bastard is just too arrogant. He's just too young to understand your prestige and strength, Elder Qiu, otherwise how dare he speak so wildly?" Shi Guanlin flattered without leaving a trace.
"Ha, I was thinking of retiring from the world of martial arts, but alas, it doesn't forget me." Elder Qiu reeled in the fishing line, standing up facing the fish pond, his frame larger and more imposing than imagined, exuding a dormant murderous aura as he coldly said, "Tonight at ten, I guarantee your safety, and I'll see to it that he comes to die."
"Thank you, Elder Qiu!" Shi Guanlin was overjoyed. With Elder Qiu's help, he believed that no matter how arrogant Jiang Feng was, he was doomed!
...
At the same time, North City University of Finance and Economics, in Mu Yanluo's office.
Ever since she sought Shi Guanlin's help to get rid of Jiang Feng, only to realize Shi Guanlin's ulterior motives, Mu Yanluo now harbored a deep hatred for him.
Kicking someone when they're down, that's exactly what a despicable person does!
Yet, Mu Yanluo was also very worried about her brother.
Although Mr. Scar hadn't been caught yet, it was certain he was still hiding in Binhai City, since all land and sea routes were closely monitored by the authorities. The only potential way out to the Northeast was through Shi Guanlin, but unfortunately, that old lecher had other intentions!
Mu Yanluo knew very well that hiding in Binhai wasn't a long-term plan for her brother. He could hide temporarily but not forever; sooner or later, he'd be exposed!
Just then, her phone rang. Mu Yanluo picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Mu Yanluo answered.
"It's me." A low voice came from the other end.
Mu Yanluo stood up abruptly, her face turning pale, "Bro???"
"Where are you?" she asked anxiously and excitedly, unable to wait.
"I'll give you an address soon. Avoid all eyes and ears to come find me. I need money, and I have to leave Binhai City tonight." Mr. Scar spoke gravely.
"Why? Have you been discovered?" Mu Yanluo asked in shock.
"The authorities probably haven't found me yet, but the Chu family has. I must go, or falling into their hands would mean an even worse fate." Mr. Scar replied calmly.
"The Chu family!"
Mu Yanluo was well aware that Mr. Scar had been at odds with the Chu family for years. Now, he was no better than a down-and-out phoenix; the Chu family sparing him would be odd!
Besides the Chu family, there were other enemies Mr. Scar had offended while in power, all of whom were coming after him for revenge now that he had fallen.
"I'll come find you immediately." Mu Yanluo took a deep breath and hung up the phone immediately.
Soon, she received an address. When she saw where Mr. Scar was hiding, Mu Yanluo felt as if her eyes were stabbed, took a deep breath, and left the office with all her money and cards.
...
In a slum.
Mr. Scar returned the borrowed phone to a snot-chewing little boy. He had traded two lollipops for two minutes of phone use – a far fall from his days as the top figure in North City.
Only as a last resort did Mr. Scar involve his sister, but he was truly out of options. He had run out of cash during his escape, and without her help, he wouldn't even get to eat.
"Jiang Feng, Chu family, you like kicking someone when they're down, don't you? Wait till I return, I'll ensure none of you will have a burial place!" Rage burned in Mr. Scar's eyes, his face dark with malice!
