The old madam of the Jiang family leaned on her cane, her legs trembling violently!
Seeing almost everyone kneeling before Ling Feng, she could no longer hold on.
What might have once been a sense of weathered resilience was now replaced by utter despair!
She was merely a stubborn, self-important, yet ultimately incapable old woman!
Tang Ru stood amidst the crowd, her face pale with embarrassment as everyone else knelt. She finally understood what it meant to stand out from the crowd.
With everyone else kneeling, only she and the old madam of the Jiang family remained standing. This made Tang Ru feel as though she was allied with the old madam.
"I won't kneel, I absolutely refuse to kneel! I don't believe this guy will kill me!" Tang Ru, under immense psychological pressure, crossed her arms defiantly, unwilling to bend the knee!
Yang Fei glanced back at the kneeling crowd, a cold, disdainful smile playing on his lips.
For these people, kneeling before Ling Feng held no humiliation whatsoever!
Simply being able to meet Ling Feng was an honor in itself.
After all, who in this world didn't owe Ling Feng their lives!
If Ling Feng hadn't guarded the border and suppressed the enemy, how could these people live in peace here?
Now, they had offended Ling Feng, even daring to insult him with their words, which was enough to warrant a death sentence!
But when Yang Fei's gaze fell upon Tang Ru, who was still standing, he couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
He had forgotten about this woman. She truly had some backbone…
"Yang Fei!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly called out by Ling Feng, Yang Fei was startled. He quickly straightened his posture, no longer daring to sneak glances at the beautiful police officer, Tang Ru.
Ling Feng looked up, disdainfully at the old madam of the Jiang family above, and said calmly, "Everyone else has knelt. Why haven't you?"
The old madam of the Jiang family's eyes were bloodshot to the extreme. The entire scene of everyone kneeling gave Ling Feng an aura of supreme dominance.
The old madam of the Jiang family was barely holding on, but she grit her teeth and said, "Who says everyone from the Jiang family has knelt? My youngest son, Jiang Yajie, has not yet returned! Hmph, even if the Azure Dragon Society surrounds my Jiang family ancestral home today, as long as my youngest son Jiang Yajie calls out to the masses, there will still be many who will fight for my Jiang family!"
As she spoke, a flicker of returning vitality lit up the old woman's face, and she straightened her body once more.
"Next, we'll see if you're the one who has the Azure Dragon Society surround my Jiang family, or if my son Jiang Yajie will surround you traitors!"
Jiang Yajie?
Hearing this name, a ripple of unease went through the people kneeling on the ground, and some even began to feel apprehensive.
They all knew that Jiang Yajie had the worst reputation among the second generation of the Jiang family, but his methods were also the most ruthless!
If Jiang Yajie learned of the current situation the Jiang family was in, he might very well bring people back to fight!
"Old hag, you still don't know your place! With Mr. Ling's abilities, even ten Jiang Yajies here would have to beg for mercy!"
Sun Ming erupted again, shouting at the old madam of the Jiang family.
Sun Ming truly couldn't stand it anymore. Not to mention that his Azure Dragon Society had already surrounded the place, even if his Azure Dragon Society hadn't shown up, Sun Ming wouldn't have put Jiang Yajie in his eyes at all.
What Sun Ming worried about most was that this stubborn old woman would anger Ling Feng again!
If that happened, there would only be one outcome!
That was that everyone present would die!
"I'll say it one last time. Kneel!"
Ling Feng's commanding voice rang out like a military order.
Sun Ming, also enraged, shouted at the old madam of the Jiang family, "Didn't you hear? Old hag, why aren't you kneeling!"
"Did I tell you to get up?" Ling Feng's voice sounded again.
Sun Ming's entire body trembled. He turned around and heavily knelt on the ground, "Yes, yes! This humble one knows his mistake!"
This scene was somewhat comical, yet no one present could bring themselves to laugh.
Ling Feng, facing the old madam of the Jiang family above, said indifferently, "Old hag, your proudest son is right here. It's just that he doesn't have the courage to show himself!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar again.
"He's here? How is that possible?"
"We, we didn't see Jiang Yajie return!"
"That's right, Jiang Yajie is very fond of making a grand entrance. If he were to return, it would definitely cause a huge stir!"
The old madam of the Jiang family above also shook her head repeatedly, "That's impossible, my son..."
*Slap!*
Suddenly, Yang Fei slapped the wooden crate beside him and then chuckled, "Heh heh, old hag, if you don't believe me, just call your son. When his phone rings, won't you know if he's here or not?"
Hearing this, the old madam of the Jiang family looked at her phone beside her with a hint of fear.
Just a moment ago, a call had been made to Tang Long, and the situation on the scene had completely changed.
Could she still make this call?
"Call it!"
Yang Fei suddenly roared again!
The old madam of the Jiang family trembled violently, then picked up her phone and shakily dialed Jiang Yajie's number.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
The scene returned to a deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Jiang Yajie's phone to ring on the scene.
*Beep, beep, beep…*
Soon, the sound of a phone ringing could be heard from the scene, though the sound was somewhat muffled, as if covered by something.
"Where are you?"
"Jiang Yajie, at this point, why aren't you coming out?"
"That sound… it seems to be coming from Mr. Ling's vicinity."
"It seems to be, in that box!"
For a moment, all eyes fell on the wooden crate.
The old madam of the Jiang family's heart skipped a beat. Her body weakly retreated two steps, and the phone in her hand slipped and fell.
*Crack!*
The phone shattered!
At the same time, Yang Fei kicked the wooden crate away.
The wooden crate flew high into the air, soaring over the heads of the Jiang Yajie siblings in front, and then smashed directly onto the ground.
*Crash!*
The wooden crate broke apart, and a bloody, mangled figure rolled out from within.
When everyone finally got a clear look at the person's face, they collectively gasped in shock!
"Jiang Yajie!"
"He, he was actually inside that wooden crate all along!"
"No wonder Mr. Ling said Jiang Yajie was here!"
Exclamations followed one after another. The old madam of the Jiang family above felt her legs go weak, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Ling Feng's lips curved into a cold smile, and he said in a chilling voice, "Heh heh, old hag, are you satisfied with this congratulatory gift?"
