Ling Feng's questioning shout made Madam Jia's heart tremble. She seemed to recall something, and her eyes brightened.
Ling Feng's previous dominance had made her temporarily forget her identity.
I am the madam of the Jia family, why should I be afraid of this person in front of me?
Does he really dare to kill me?
No matter how strong he is, he is just a martial brute. With the Jia family's influence, would they fear such a person?
Thinking of this, Madam Jia actually stood up from the ground and said loudly, "Our Jia family is a prominent and wealthy family in Hanjiang City. You'd better not mess around, or you will absolutely not be able to leave here alive."
"Prominent and wealthy family?"
Ling Feng sneered upon hearing this. "You mean your Jia family is very rich, right?"
Jia Ziwei, who had come out of the house at some point, felt a surge of pride upon hearing Ling Feng's sneer.
"Yes, our Jia family is a first-class family in Hanjiang City. The wealth within our clan is beyond your imagination. Do you know about the Modern Building being constructed in Hanjiang City? Our Jia family is funding and undertaking it."
The Modern Building, known as the future landmark of Hanjiang City.
Undertaking such a project was enough to show the Jia family's financial strength in Hanjiang City.
These words from mother and son seemed to give them great courage. Facing Ling Feng, they no longer felt the fear and trepidation they had before.
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng said with a half-smile, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
When the call connected, Ling Feng said expressionlessly, "This is Ling Feng. Immediately halt all investment projects of the Jia family in Hanjiang City."
Madam Jia and Jia Ziwei stared at Ling Feng, dumbfounded. They didn't understand who Ling Feng was talking to.
Had this person gone mad from hearing about their family's influence?
Otherwise, why would he say something so brainless?
However, Ling Feng's expression was somewhat playful. He looked at the mother and son and sneered, "What if everything you rely on no longer exists?"
"Hahaha..."
Jia Ziwei seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world.
His previous nervousness and fear vanished without a trace at this moment.
"Ah~ haha, what nonsense are you talking? Our Jia family no longer exists? You probably don't know what our Jia family means in Hanjiang City, do you?"
Jia Ziwei said with an exaggerated expression.
Madam Jia also hugged her son's plump body and laughed heartily.
"He doesn't think that by pretending to say a few words there, he can make us believe him and beg for mercy, does he?"
The two seemed to have forgotten that just a moment ago, they were indeed kneeling on the ground like stray dogs.
Ling Feng did not argue. Arguing with people like them would only lower his status.
For these arrogant and self-righteous people, facts were more convincing than any threatening words.
Ling Feng returned to the chair in the center of the courtyard and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
However, this time, the Bai family members did not echo the Jia family mother and son's mockery.
Although they admired the Jia family, the Ling Feng in front of them had already given them too much shock.
If the Jia family was the fierce tiger of Hanjiang, then in their eyes, Ling Feng was now a mysterious and unfathomable divine dragon from the nine heavens.
And their Bai family was just a small loach in the mud.
Their status destined them to only play both sides and go with the flow.
Ling Feng remained silent, and everyone else quieted down. The atmosphere gradually became somewhat stiff.
Everyone was as if under a spell, waiting quietly.
Only the Jia family mother and son continued to mock and taunt Ling Feng.
In just a quarter of an hour, Madam Jia's phone rang.
"Son, it's your father's call."
Madam Jia was very excited and quickly handed her phone to Jia Ziwei beside her.
Jia Ziwei glanced at Ling Feng not far away, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.
"Damn it, what have you two prodigal women done outside?"
As soon as the call connected, Jia Ziwei heard his father Jia Ruan Dan's hysterical roar.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Jia Ziwei asked confusedly.
"How dare you ask me what's wrong? Don't you have any idea what you've done?" Jia Ruan Dan cursed.
Jia Ziwei was even more confused. "Dad, I really don't know what happened!"
"The construction project for the Modern Building has been repossessed by the municipality!" Jia Ruan Dan roared with rage.
"What? How is that possible?"
Jia Ziwei immediately panicked. This was currently their family's largest project, and they had invested a massive amount of capital into it. If it were repossessed, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
The loss would be at least hundreds of millions!
"What's impossible? They made it very clear that it was you two idiots who did something you shouldn't have, offending someone you shouldn't have. You immediately apologize to them, beg for their forgiveness, otherwise, I will throw you two prodigals into the river to feed the fish!"
Jia Ruan Dan's voice was extremely cold, and his anger could be felt even through the phone.
Jia Ziwei was stunned, and Madam Jia was also bewildered.
Until the call ended, they couldn't believe any of it.
The Bai family relatives were all dumbfounded. They had heard Jia Ruan Dan's roar clearly just now.
After a while, Jia Ziwei finally came back to his senses, suddenly looked up at Ling Feng, his eyes filled with venom, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It was you?"
Ling Feng smiled without speaking.
Just as Jia Ziwei was about to erupt, his phone rang again, startling him greatly, almost making him drop his phone.
He picked up his phone and saw it was Jia Ruan Dan calling again.
Immediately, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
All eyes were fixed on him.
"Hoo~"
Jia Ziwei took a few deep breaths, hesitated for a moment, and then shakily answered the call. xxs1
However, this time he learned his lesson and did not use the speakerphone.
But as he listened, his face turned paler and paler, looking increasingly grim.
"Clang!"
The phone slipped from his hand, but he was oblivious.
Finally, he slumped to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's over, everything is over..."
Seeing this, Madam Jia's face also showed anxiety. She quickly asked, "What's wrong? What exactly happened?"
Jia Ziwei slowly turned his head, his face ashen, his eyes hollow, and said, "Mom, all our family's businesses have been shut down."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Jia plopped to the ground.
"How could this happen, how could this happen?"
Although she mumbled incessantly, her eyes had already fallen on Ling Feng.
Ling Feng finally stood up, glanced faintly at the Jia family mother and son, and said, "Now everything you relied on is gone."
Seeing Ling Feng's proud expression, Jia Ziwei's eyes were filled with venom.
At this moment, even if he were foolish, he would know that Ling Feng was behind all of this.
"Don't get too smug. Even if our Jia family has no business, with the accumulation of our Jia family over so many years, we are still a hundred times better off than you poor wretch," Jia Ziwei said hatefully.
Hearing this, Madam Jia quickly tugged at his clothes, signaling him to shut up.
She was not like Jia Ziwei. Although she was arrogant, she was not completely stupid.
Seeing that the other party could bring their Jia family to such a state with just a short phone call, how could she not understand that the other party was someone their Jia family could not afford to offend?
But Jia Ziwei paid no attention to Madam Jia's obstruction.
Ling Feng, who was about to leave, paused slightly. "Oh yes, how could I have forgotten about that?"
