"You bastard, I'm warning you, if you dare touch a single finger of mine..."
Seeing Jiang Wuming release Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun and take a step towards him, Zheng Fei's expression changed, and he warned Jiang Wuming again.
Don't you dare?
Whoosh!
Jiang Wuming's figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of Zheng Fei. He swung his right hand and slapped Zheng Fei.
Immovable as a mountain, moving like thunder!
In response to the warning, Jiang Wuming directly responded with action.
Slap—
A crisp slap echoed.
Zheng Fei's voice was cut short as he fell to the ground.
In full view of everyone, he was slapped to the ground by Jiang Wuming!
Under the night sky, his right cheekbone instantly shattered, a mess of blood and flesh, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Ugh..."
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
No one expected Jiang Wuming to step forward and slap Zheng Fei without a word!
"Stop!"
"Do you want to get our Liu family killed?"
After a brief moment of shock, Liu Liyun and the other uncles of Su Shiyun shouted in panic, afraid that this incident would implicate the Liu family.
Jiang Wuming raised an eyebrow at their cries and swept his cold gaze over Liu Liyun and the others.
In an instant, Liu Liyun and the others felt as if they were being stared at by Death, sending chills down their spines. They instinctively shut their mouths, daring not to utter another word.
"You... you bastard, you dare hit me?"
Zheng Fei, his face covered in blood, struggled to get up and spoke resentfully. As he opened his mouth, several teeth, mixed with blood, flowed out and fell to the ground.
"Did I tell you to stand up? Get on your knees!"
Jiang Wuming coldly shouted, raised his right foot, and stomped on Zheng Fei's right ankle.
Crack!
A crisp bone-cracking sound echoed. Zheng Fei's right foot instantly shattered, and he lost his balance, falling to the ground again.
"You... you bastard, the Zheng family won't let you off..."
Zheng Fei convulsed in pain, his facial muscles contorted, and he roared hoarsely, his words filled with hatred and killing intent, wishing the Zheng family would avenge him immediately and grind Jiang Wuming into dust.
"How dare you touch my mother and sister, you deserve to die ten times over!"
Jiang Wuming followed suit, raising his right foot again, and stomped on Zheng Fei's left ankle, shattering it.
"Ah—"
Zheng Fei screamed, both his ankles completely shattered, bloody and mangled, his body twitching uncontrollably.
"Apologize to my mother and sister!"
Jiang Wuming said, then placed his foot on the back of Zheng Fei's head.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Zheng Fei's face was pressed firmly against the ground, kneeling, his face towards Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun.
At this moment, he was trampled under Jiang Wuming's feet, forced to apologize and repent to the mother and daughter!
"Ugh..."
Seeing this scene, the elder members of the Liu family, led by Liu Shoucheng, were all filled with anxiety. They worried that this incident would plunge the Liu family into an abyss of eternal damnation, yet they dared not stop Jiang Wuming.
Meanwhile, Liu Guifang's eyes were red, and tears streamed down her face.
Before this, she would rather die than marry her daughter to Zheng Fei, but besides asking her father, Liu Shoucheng, for help, she could do nothing.
However, both Liu Shoucheng and the other members of the Liu family were resolute; they insisted on marrying Su Shiyun to Zheng Fei.
Even when Zheng Fei, disregarding customs, came to the Liu family compound the night before the wedding intending to defile Su Shiyun, the Liu family remained indifferent.
This made her feel like she had fallen into an abyss, filled with heartbreak and despair.
And now, Jiang Wuming's actions gave her a glimmer of hope.
Su Shiyun covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably.
The scene before her was so similar to what happened eight years ago!
Eight years ago, her younger brother, to protect her, had smashed Zheng Fei with a wine bottle and yelled, "Dare to touch my sister, I'll fucking kill you!" Then he grabbed shards of the beer bottle and wildly stabbed Zheng Fei, almost killing him!
Her brother was still young then, unaware of the potential retaliation from the Zheng family.
Now, her brother must know this, and he knows that murder carries the penalty of death.
However, her brother, to stand up for her and their mother, had trampled Zheng Fei underfoot, forcing Zheng Fei to kowtow and apologize to them!
Eight years have passed, and her brother must have gone through much, but he returned as the same boy he was!
On the other side, the spoiled young men who had accompanied Zheng Fei to the Liu family were all dumbfounded.
In their memories, Zheng Fei had always been arrogant in Guishan. He was the one who stepped on others; who dared to lay a hand on Zheng Fei?
At this moment, they even suspected they were hallucinating!
Is it a hallucination?
"And you lot, get on your knees and apologize!"
Jiang Wuming, while stepping on Zheng Fei, looked expressionlessly at the young men Zheng Fei had brought, his voice leaving no room for doubt.
Thump—
The first young man to meet Jiang Wuming's gaze had his legs go weak. He knelt on the ground, "I... I didn't do anything, don't kill me..."
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Following suit, the remaining young men also knelt on the ground, begging for mercy and kowtowing, more diligently than they would during ancestral worship.
They were scared.
They were truly terrified.
At this moment, they had a million reasons to believe that if they didn't do as Jiang Wuming said, they would suffer the same fate as Zheng Fei—beaten into a bloody mess!
Seeing this, Jiang Wuming withdrew his gaze, preparing to stomp Zheng Fei to death.
"Wuming, wait!"
Liu Shoucheng was the first to snap out of his shock. He shouted to Jiang Wuming and quickened his pace towards him.
That's right...
He was running!
At this moment, the eighty-year-old Liu Shoucheng wished he could use all his might to rush towards Jiang Wuming.
Because, his rationality told him, Jiang Wuming was really going to kill Zheng Fei next!
Jiang Wuming heard the call and turned to look at Liu Shoucheng.
"Wuming, back then, when you, Guifang, and Shiyun returned to the Liu family, I and the Liu family treated you not badly, did we?"
Liu Shoucheng, seeing that Jiang Wuming had stopped his attack, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then came beside Jiang Wuming and spoke again.
"Mm."
Jiang Wuming nodded slightly.
Back then, when he, Liu Guifang, and Su Shiyun were expelled from the Su family and came to the Liu family, the Liu family, led by Liu Shoucheng, treated him and Su Shiyun equally.
"Eight years ago, you almost killed Zheng Fei, and the Zheng family demanded that the Liu family hand you over. Your mother and Shiyun begged me to protect you, and I agreed, but you left on your own," Liu Shoucheng mentioned the past.
Jiang Wuming was slightly stunned and looked towards Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun.
Eight years ago, Jiang Wuming had secretly followed Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun when they went to beg Liu Shoucheng for mercy. He had seen the scene and overheard their conversation.
It was also on that day that Jiang Wuming learned that he was not the biological son of Liu Guifang and the deceased Su Shirong, but had been adopted by the couple!
This truth had a huge impact on the twelve-year-old Jiang Wuming at the time, causing him to leave the Liu family compound in a daze before Liu Shoucheng could even respond.
"Wuming, this is true."
Liu Guifang, seeing Jiang Wuming's gaze, said.
Although she now had grievances with the entire Liu family, she could not deny what happened back then.
Su Shiyun also nodded gently, indicating that Liu Shoucheng was not lying.
"Wuming, times have changed. The Zheng family now has absolute power in Guishan, and our Liu family can no longer afford to offend them."
Liu Shoucheng looked at Jiang Wuming with a pleading expression, his voice trembling, "Can you, for the sake of the Liu family treating you well back then, spare Zheng Fei's life and leave a sliver of hope for the Liu family?"
