A gift?!
Seeing Jiang Yajie’s ghastly appearance, everyone’s hearts trembled.
Jiang Yajie’s hidden birthday gift was truly earth-shattering.
For a moment, all eyes turned to the old lady of the Jiang family above.
At this point, the old lady, kneeling on the ground, could no longer support herself with her cane.
After such a blow, it was believed that few could remain standing.
Gurgle!
The old lady’s body, like a candle in the wind, tumbled down the steps and rolled to Jiang Yajie’s side, wailing.
“Son, son! My son!”
She collapsed onto Jiang Yajie, crying out in pain!
This scene moved some of the onlookers.
However, in Ling Feng’s eyes, there was no trace of pity. He snorted, “Your son? Hmph, when my sister-in-law Jiang Ying died, did you feel even a shred of sadness? Did you shed a single tear for her?”
“I…”
The old lady of the Jiang family was speechless!
“Azure Dragon Society, Sun Ming!”
Ling Feng’s voice was incredibly domineering, filled with command.
“Here! Your humble servant!”
Sun Ming immediately responded, but his head struck the ground heavily. He was as terrified as a cicada in winter!
Ling Feng’s methods had thoroughly intimidated Sun Ming. He had never encountered such a terrifying person!
“Annihilate the Jiang family!”
Four words were uttered from Ling Feng’s mouth, devoid of any emotion.
Today’s rage could only be vented by a bloodbath of the Jiang family!
“Ah! No! Mr. Ling, I know I was wrong! I, Jiang Yafeng, am willing to be your beast of burden. Please, don’t kill me!”
“Don’t kill me! Mr. Ling, I’ll do anything you ask, just don’t kill me!”
…
The first to cry for mercy were the three siblings, Jiang Yafeng.
But Ling Feng didn’t even glance at them. Everyone present was frozen in fear, not daring to breathe, lest a single word invite death!
Sun Ming also swallowed hard.
Annihilate the Jiang family!
These four words were easy to say, but if his Azure Dragon Society moved against the Jiang family today, and the higher authorities investigated, it would all be Sun Ming’s responsibility.
However, if he didn’t act today, he would die at Ling Feng’s hands.
The choice was quite clear.
Just as Sun Ming was about to carry out the order, Ling Xiaoran, in Ling Feng’s arms, spoke again timidly, “Uncle, please… please spare them, okay? Mommy’s surname is also Jiang…”
As Ling Xiaoran’s words fell, Ling Feng’s hand slightly raised towards Sun Ming.
Instantly, Sun Ming froze on the spot, not daring to move.
“Xiaoran, the people of the Jiang family are bad people. You saw how they bullied others before. Don’t they deserve to be punished?” Ling Feng asked Ling Xiaoran gently.
At this moment, everyone present fell silent again, not daring to utter a word!
Who would have thought that the fate of the esteemed Jiang family, a prominent clan of Hanjiang, would ultimately rest on the shoulders of a little girl?
Now, if this little girl named Ling Xiaoran relented, the Jiang family would be annihilated in an instant!
“Xiaoran, your name is Ling Xiaoran, right? I, I am your eldest aunt, my name is Jiang Yan! Your mommy is my own sister!”
Jiang Yan was the first to jump up, speaking enthusiastically to Ling Xiaoran.
Jiang Yu beside her also quickly jumped up.
“Xiaoran, I am your second aunt, my name is Jiang Yu. Your mommy and I played together since we were little. Second Aunt begs you, for your mommy’s sake, please don’t let Uncle kill Second Aunt, okay?”
The way these two women changed their demeanor disgusted everyone.
Not long ago, they had been arrogantly calling Ling Xiaoran a little bastard.
And now, they were shamelessly trying to claim kinship.
This made them appear even more despicable!
Seeing his two sisters already begging Ling Xiaoran, Jiang Yafeng suddenly came to his senses and quickly spoke to Ling Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, I am your eldest uncle, I…”
“If you want to die, keep talking!” Ling Feng shot Jiang Yafeng a cold glance.
Instantly, Jiang Yafeng felt as if his throat was being choked. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground again, not daring to utter another word.
Ling Xiaoran looked timidly at the people around her. When she saw the resentful gaze of the old lady of the Jiang family, she flinched in fear.
But in the end, she timidly shook her head and said, “Ranran doesn’t want Uncle to become a big bad guy! If Mommy knew her grandma also died, Mommy would be very sad. Ranran doesn’t want Mommy to be sad!”
Her childish words, though meant to be amusing, struck a chord in everyone’s hearts, moving many.
Ling Feng looked deeply at Ling Xiaoran and understood!
If he annihilated the Jiang family in front of Ling Xiaoran today, it might become a permanent shadow in her heart!
Ling Feng could be ruthless to the Jiang family, but he couldn’t bear to be harsh with Ling Xiaoran!
“Alright, Uncle promises you! I’ll give them a chance!”
Ling Feng relented slightly.
At this, all the Jiang family members showed ecstatic relief. Jiang Yafeng and the others repeatedly kowtowed to Ling Feng in thanks.
Only the old lady of the Jiang family lowered her head, silent. Her gaze was so sinister and venomous!
Ling Feng saw the old lady’s demeanor and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He changed the subject and said, “Today, your Jiang family is pardoned from death! However, for your past transgressions, you will not be lightly forgiven!”
All the Jiang family members trembled again.
So, while the death penalty was waived, the living punishment was unavoidable! If Ling Feng were to break their limbs, leaving them permanently disabled, it would be more cruel than killing them!
“First, I want you to erect a memorial tablet for my sister-in-law Jiang Ying in the Jiang family ancestral hall and offer incense and worship daily! Can you do this?”
Ling Feng stated his first demand, and the old lady of the Jiang family trembled violently.
However, Jiang Yafeng and his two siblings nodded repeatedly in agreement.
“We can do it, we can do it! It is our duty!”
“Second, all of your lives today were saved by Xiaoran. From now on, Xiaoran is the benefactor of your Jiang family. You must not show any disrespect to Ling Xiaoran, nor utter any words of humiliation, otherwise! Death!”
Jiang Yafeng and his two siblings knelt and responded again.
“Yes! We dare not do it again, we dare not!”
“Third point!”
Ling Feng’s voice rang out again. He paused slightly, then swept his gaze across the entire assembly. “Everyone present today, including the Jiang family! On the day of the funeral for my brother and sister-in-law, you shall all attend in mourning attire, kowtowing in remembrance!”
“Can you do this?”
Everyone’s breathing hitched. An endless chill enveloped them!
They all knew clearly that if anyone dared to say no now, they would die immediately!
