Dragon King Palace (Also Known As: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law)

Bam!

With a dull thud, Jian Yu's body landed heavily outside the grand courtyard of the Nangong Mansion. He felt as if his bones were shattered, the pain was excruciating, and a swelling bumped up on his head.

Soon after, the half-dead Qiangzi was also thrown out like a dead dog by Jiang Feng, rolling pathetically beside Jian Yu.

"Jiang... Jiang Feng! What are you doing? How dare you treat Young Master Jian like this?" Jiang Feng's actions stunned everyone in the Nangong Family!

The most panicked was Jiang Feng's future mother-in-law, Wu Peixia. She quickly ran over, attempting to help Jian Yu up from the ground: "Young Master Jian, are you, are you alright? This is all Jiang Feng's doing, it has nothing to do with us..."

Before she finished speaking, Jian Yu viciously pushed her away!

Wu Peixia staggered and almost fell, but after steadying herself, she looked at Jian Yu with terror in her eyes!

Then she looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes filled with venomous rage!

Clearly, she understood very well the consequences that Jiang Feng's actions today would bring upon the Nangong Family, and even she, as the wife of the Nangong Family, would suffer too.

"Jiang, you've got guts! Remember everything you've done to me today, I promise you'll regret it!" Jian Yu gritted his teeth as he crawled up from the ground, glaring viciously at Jiang Feng.

"You should be thankful today is Old Man's birthday, otherwise you wouldn't even have the chance to challenge me." Jiang Feng said expressionlessly, turning around and entering the banquet hall.

Jian Yu, furious, wanted to rush forward to grab Jiang Feng, but Qiangzi held him tightly: "Young Master Jian, don't be angry! You are like porcelain, it's not worth clashing head-on with him. We have plenty of ways to deal with him!"

Hearing this, Jian Yu finally suppressed his surging anger.

Indeed, with his status, getting rough with a son-in-law like Jiang Feng was insulting!

"Young Master Jian, we didn't want what happened tonight either, you see..." Wu Peixia carefully approached again, with a face full of a forced smile.

"Wu Peixia, you have a good daughter!" Jian Yu said coldly, "Remember everything I endured in your house today, I swear soon, your daughter will beg me like the cheapest whore, and I will trample all her pride and arrogance underfoot!"

After saying this, Jian Yu left angrily with the heavily injured Qiangzi.

The banquet could no longer continue with such a turn of events, and the guests soon took their leave, not wanting to stay in such a place of conflict.

Having offended the Jian Family's young master today, the Nangong Family would find it hard to move a step in Binhai from now on, and the guests did not want to suffer as collateral damage.

"Dad! Look at what this guy has done; he's gotten so bold now, he even dared to hit Young Master Jian, what are we supposed to do? It's too late to apologize to the Jian Family in person now!"

After returning to the hall, Wu Peixia vented all her frustrations on Jiang Feng, with a look of being at the end of her tether!

"Jiang Feng, not to blame my little sister, but you're getting bolder, isn't Young Master Jian someone you can offend? Aren't you bringing trouble to the Nangong Family?" Nangong Li also angrily rebuked Jiang Feng with full grievances.

"I will take responsibility for my own actions. If the Jian Family is dissatisfied with what happened today, let them come to me, I will make them submit." Jiang Feng's expression remained unchanged, his tone ominously indifferent.

"You? Do you really think you're someone else after being away for a month? What right do you have to say such things? Do you think Young Master Jian will target only you with his anger? If only that were the case!"

Nangong Jinwei, who had been restlessly pacing, did not hold back in scolding Jiang Feng upon hearing his words.

"Everyone, shut up!"

At this moment, Old Sir Nangong spoke, chastising angrily: "You all think you have grown wings now, don't you? When was it your turn to shout in front of me? Get out, go mind your own business!"

"Dad, you..." Seeing Nangong Honghu still defending Jiang Feng at this critical moment, everyone fell silent. Nangong Jinwei wanted to say more, but Nangong Jinming stopped him, shaking his head to signal him not to speak further.

"Hmph, I just want to see what you'll do when the Jian Family's fury truly pours out! Don't blame me, as your third uncle, for not giving you face then!" Nangong Jinwei left with a cold remark, stomping out angrily.

The couples of Nangong Jinrong, Nangong Jinming, and even Nangong Li, couldn't stand staying any longer; they left one by one, both angry and annoyed, full of resentment towards Jiang Feng!

"Xiao Feng, come to the back room with me, tell me what you've been doing for this past month?" The birthday celebration ended in an unhappy dispersal, yet Nangong Honghu did not blame Jiang Feng at all; instead, he asked Jiang Feng with concern.

"Old Master, this past month I..."

Jiang Feng followed Nangong Honghu and Nangong Qingcheng to the back room, where he briefly recounted his experiences of the past month.

Of course, he did not mention his rebirth, only saying that after barely escaping death, he found a small clinic to treat his external injuries. This way, there was no gap in the timeline, dispelling any doubts.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Honghu and Nangong Qingcheng were both shocked, little expecting that Jiang Feng had been kidnapped and tortured for so long.

At last, they understood why Jiang Feng had acted so forcefully and tough at the banquet. People either explode after enduring silence or succumb to it, and Jiang Feng had become the former, thus his personality had drastically changed.

"Xiao Feng, do you know who kidnapped you this past month? Should we report it to the authorities?" Nangong Honghu asked worriedly.

"There's no need. Since they dared to act so brazenly, it shows they aren't afraid of the authorities, and they left no evidence. Reporting it would be pointless."

Jiang Feng disagreed with reporting to the authorities, not only because he didn't believe they could find the group like a needle in a haystack, but also because he wanted to investigate the mastermind himself. Only by doing so could he ensure their eternal downfall and make them pay the most painful price!

"This past month, Xiao Feng, you've been kidnapped and beaten; it's not easy to have escaped back. Your body must've suffered severe internal injuries, right? Jian Yu gifted me a twenty-year wild Changbai Mountain Ginseng tonight; you should take it back and have Qingcheng make you some ginseng soup to nourish your body."

Although Nangong Honghu was still unwilling to accept Jiang Feng's ordeal, he knew that after such a long time, the culprits had probably disappeared into hiding. Even reporting it to the authorities, the odds of capturing them were slim, so he had to let it go.

Jiang Feng felt very grateful towards Nangong Honghu; at that moment, he even felt a bit dazed. After six hundred years, Nangong Honghu's affection for him remained unchanged, bringing a rare warmth to his tormented heart.

He swore, anyone who dared destroy his newfound life would pay the most painful price!

The Jian Family, so be it!
