A sudden roar echoed through the sky above the Liu family compound, causing everyone within to freeze, unsure of its origin.
Concurrently, the true qi within Jiang Wuming circulated wildly, pushing his speed to the extreme. He instantly appeared at the door of a room on the west side of the Liu family compound.
In that instant, whether it was Liu Guifang, Su Shiyun, Zheng Fei, or the group of spoiled young men, they all turned their attention to Jiang Wuming, who had appeared out of nowhere.
“Wu… Wuming?”
Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun’s eyes widened almost simultaneously, their faces etched with disbelief as they stared at Jiang Wuming, seemingly unable to believe he would appear at this moment.
Before leaving the Liu family, Jiang Wuming had no surname, only the given name Wuming.
Wuming?
At the same time, Zheng Fei also recognized Jiang Wuming, and was equally shocked.
This was because Jiang Wuming had not reappeared since the incident eight years ago.
“Damn it, who the hell are you? Get lost, don’t interfere with Brother Fei’s good deeds!”
While Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun were stunned, a young man who was restraining Liu Guifang shouted at Jiang Wuming.
He was Zheng Fei’s foremost lackey, well aware that Zheng Fei had decided to ravish Su Shiyun that night and did not want anyone to disturb them.
*Swish!*
Jiang Wuming’s feet shifted, and he instantly appeared before Liu Guifang. He transformed his hand into a blade and struck the offending young man’s arm with a chop.
*Crack—*
A crisp bone-snapping sound instantly rang out. The young man’s two arms were instantly broken.
“Ah—”
The intense pain caused the young man to howl on the spot, his facial muscles contorting.
*Slap!*
Immediately, a sharp slap interrupted the young man’s wails.
Jiang Wuming did not pause. He landed a slap on the young man’s face. The latter’s cheekbone instantly shattered, his face covered in blood. He flew out like a hit baseball, soaring through the air.
*Thud!*
Seeing this, another young man still holding Liu Guifang instinctively let go.
He was terrified by Jiang Wuming’s actions and attempted to escape a similar fate this way.
However—
The ideal was plump, but reality was gaunt.
He was kicked by Jiang Wuming, flying backward. His chest caved in, a bloody mess, and he vomited blood from his mouth.
All of this, though seemingly complex, happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time everyone recovered, the two young men had almost simultaneously fallen to the ground, covered in blood, motionless, their fates unknown.
“Ugh…”
Seeing this, the young men brought by Zheng Fei all looked at Jiang Wuming with horror, their legs trembling as if they had cramps.
At the same time, Liu Guifang, her face streaked with tears, looked at Jiang Wuming and trembled, “Chi… Child, is it you?”
“I’m sorry, Mom, I’m late. You and Sister have suffered.”
Jiang Wuming immediately stepped forward, helped Liu Guifang up, his face filled with self-blame.
Although he had learned of his true parentage, in his memory, Liu Guifang had doted on him like her own child, and in his heart, she was no different from his birth mother.
“Wu… Wuming, my child, it really is you.”
Liu Guifang tremblingly reached out, gently touching Jiang Wuming’s face, her vision blurred.
Just now, she had felt Jiang Wuming’s sudden appearance was as unreal as a dream. Only now did she confirm that Wuming, whom she had adopted and raised as her own child, had returned!
“Di… Younger Brother!”
On the other side, Su Shiyun also awoke from her daze and rushed towards Jiang Wuming, crying.
This time, the tears were not bitter.
This time, Zheng Fei did not dare to reach out and stop her.
“Sister, I’m sorry, for letting you and Mom suffer.”
Jiang Wuming turned his head, looking at Su Shiyun, who was rushing towards him, his heart filled with self-reproach and regret.
If he had been more thorough in his planning and not cared about offending the Dragon Country’s Martial Department, arranging a subordinate or two in Guishan, Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun would not have suffered such humiliation!
Su Shiyun rushed directly in front of Jiang Wuming and hugged him tightly, “I thought I would never see you again.”
“Sister, it’s okay now. I’m back. From now on, no one will dare to bully you and Mom!”
Hearing this, Jiang Wuming’s eyes turned red as he reached out and embraced both Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun.
At this moment, his voice was not loud, but his tone was exceptionally firm.
That firmness would not waver even if the sky were to fall!
“Hey… it really is you!”
Just then, at the door of the room, Zheng Fei recovered from his shock and sneered, “I’ve been trying to find you all these years, and yet you’ve returned on your own. It’s truly a case of looking for a needle in a haystack, only to find it when you least expect it!”
“Mom, Sister, wait for me to deal with this beast Zheng Fei, and then I’ll chat with you.”
Hearing Zheng Fei’s taunts, Jiang Wuming raised his head, his gaze fixed on Zheng Fei, as if looking at a corpse.
“Wuming, the current Liu family is nothing compared to our Zheng family. If you dare to lay a finger on me, not only you, but the entire Liu family will pay a heavy price!”
Zheng Fei said with a cold smile, his face filled with unwarranted confidence.
Although he had been intimidated by Jiang Wuming’s actions just now, his family’s backing had dispelled his inner fear.
Moreover, he also saw Liu Shouchuan approaching with his men.
When he had brought his men into the Liu family compound earlier, no one in the Liu family had dared to utter a word!
At this moment, he was convinced that the Liu family would never allow Jiang Wuming to act against him!
“Stop, or you will bring great disaster upon the Liu family!”
As expected, from the crowd ahead, Liu Liyun, Su Shiyun’s maternal uncle, upon hearing Zheng Fei’s words, shouted to stop Jiang Wuming before he even arrived.
“Absolutely do not act!”
As Liu Liyun’s voice faded, other members of the Liu family spoke in unison.
Although they did not know where Jiang Wuming had gone that year or why he had suddenly returned, they were all well aware that if Jiang Wuming acted against Zheng Fei today, all of the Liu family’s previous efforts would be in vain—the Zheng family would stop at nothing to deal with the Liu family!
“Chi… Child, don’t be impulsive. If you hit him, the Zheng family won’t let you go. Let’s leave here.”
Liu Guifang also spoke to stop Jiang Wuming, but not for the sake of the Liu family.
Originally, she was already distressed by the Liu family’s abandonment of Su Shiyun and her arranged marriage to Zheng Fei. Hearing the words of Su Shiyun’s maternal uncle and the others just now had completely chilled her!
Her speaking now was only out of concern that Jiang Wuming would face retaliation from the Zheng family after attacking Zheng Fei!
“Bastard, things are different now. Do you understand those four words?”
As soon as Liu Guifang finished speaking, Zheng Fei, growing even more confident, taunted, “Back then, you almost killed me. How do you think I should get revenge? Why don’t you kneel down, kowtow to me three times, and beg for mercy, and I might consider sparing your dog life?”
“Mom, don’t worry, your son has grown up. We are not afraid of trouble.”
Jiang Wuming first responded softly to Liu Guifang, then released Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun. His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept towards Zheng Fei, directly pronouncing Zheng Fei’s death sentence.
“Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn’t save you!”
