Chapter 400: Get lost and go suffer death!
The mocking voices in the ward continued, each sentence more piercing than the last.
Li Kun! Zhao Xiong!
I never expected the Su family to fall into trouble now, yet they dare to come to the hospital and add insult to injury!
"Su Xueyan, don't blame Uncle Zhao for not helping you."
Zhao Xiong's voice carried a hint of triumphant teasing.
"The Prince said, if you nod and go to the Jiangnan Prince's Residence as a concubine, perhaps your Su family could still have a way out; at least the Prince will cover Old Master Su's medical expenses."
Su Xueyan snapped her head up, her formerly gaunt face filled with anger.
"You two running dogs of the Jiangnan Prince! Go tell the Jiangnan Prince to drop this idea! I, Su Xueyan, would rather die than submit to him!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unyielding spirit that would rather die than yield.
Although the Su family has fallen, my dignity as Su Xueyan remains!
"Oh, you still have some backbone?"
Li Kun snorted, his mocking expression intensifying.
"Su Xueyan, do you really think you're still the lofty eldest daughter of the Su family, or the first beauty everyone in Jiangcheng adores? Is the Prince truly inseparable from you?"
He stepped forward two paces, his eyes contemptuously scanning Su Xueyan up and down, his tone maximally humiliating.
"Tell you, if it weren't for the Prince wanting to harshly humiliate Jiang Feng that brat, you'd think your feeble looks could catch the Prince's eye?"
"Don't forget, the Prince's consort of the Jiangnan Prince's Residence is the eldest daughter of the Chuandu Li Family! That's the true heavenly pride!"
"Compared to her, you're now just a fatherless orphan girl after the Su family's collapse—worth nothing! Being allowed to become a concubine in the Prince's residence is already the Prince giving you face!"
These words were like sharp daggers, viciously stabbing into Su Xueyan's heart.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, yet she clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to let tears fall.
She knew Li Kun spoke the truth; the Su family now is no longer what it once was, and she is no longer the cherished miss.
Yet even so, she absolutely will not accept such humiliation!
Just as Li Kun and Zhao Xiong were mocking Su Xueyan, pressing her to submit, the ward door was slowly pushed open from outside.
A voice icy to the extreme came in.
"I'd like to see who dares to strike at the Su family!"
Li Kun and Zhao Xiong were speaking enthusiastically when they suddenly heard someone interrupt; they immediately frowned, their faces showing impatience.
Zhao Xiong didn't even turn his head, his tone arrogant as he barked.
"Where did this clueless thing come from? Can't you see we're in the middle of a discussion? Get out now!"
"Exactly! The Su family has already been wiped out; now someone dares to meddle in Su family affairs? Who are you, and don't you even weigh your own worth?"
While saying this, the two slowly turned around.
But when they saw who stood at the doorway, their arrogant expressions froze instantly.
Their eyes widened to saucers, mouths gaping wide enough to fit an egg.
"Jiang... Jiang Feng?"
They shouted in unison.
How could it be Jiang Feng?
Hasn't this kid vanished without a trace half a month ago?
Everyone thought he either died or fled Jiangcheng in fear, never daring to return.
Yet here he stands, alive and well!
Li Kun and Zhao Xiong exchanged a glance, both seeing deep fear in each other's eyes. Upon hearing Jiang Feng's voice, Su Xueyan also shuddered, shot her head up, and looked toward the doorway.
When she saw that familiar figure, she was stunned, tears instantly blurring her vision.
It's Jiang Feng!
Really Jiang Feng!
He didn't die! He's come back!
During this time, she has endured too much.
She thought she'd never see him again, but now he suddenly appears before her.
All her grievances burst forth like a breached dam.
Su Xueyan could no longer hold herself; she sprang to her feet, lunged at Jiang Feng, and burst into loud sobs.
"Jiang Feng... you're back... you finally came back... I thought... I thought I'd never see you again..."
Jiang Feng felt the girl's fragility in his arms, his guilt intensifying.
He gently patted Su Xueyan's back.
"Sorry, Xueyan, I came late. Let you suffer; it won't happen again. With me here, no one will dare bully you and Grandfather."
His voice wasn't loud, yet it acted like a calming pill, instantly settling Su Xueyan's anxious heart.
She leaned into Jiang Feng's embrace, feeling his familiar scent, gradually stopping her trembling.
Li Kun and Zhao Xiong watched this scene, a hint of panic on their faces.
Although they feared Jiang Feng's strength, thinking of the Jiangnan Prince's Residence and Jun Wuji the Young Master gave them a bit more confidence.
Li Kun plucked up courage and shouted at Jiang Feng.
"Jiang Feng! You've got guts! Dare to return to Jiangcheng! The Young Master is currently resting in the Prince's Residence; if you're sensible, quickly surrender, come with us to the Prince's Residence to apologize, and perhaps the Prince will spare your dog's life!"
"Exactly! The Jiangnan Prince's Residence now controls all of Jiangcheng; you alone can't stir up any storm! Hurry up and follow us!"
Jiang Feng slowly lifted his head, his icy gaze fixed on Li Kun and Zhao Xiong.
"Surrender? Apologize at the Prince's Residence? Do you even deserve that?"
As the words fell, before Li Kun and Zhao Xiong could react, his figure flashed like a ghost and appeared before them.
Pa!
A sharp slap sounded, Li Kun was hit by Jiang Feng's palm on his face, his whole body spun three times in place, blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he heavily fell to the ground.
Zhao Xiong trembled with fright, turned and tried to run.
But how could Jiang Feng give him a chance?
Jiang Feng reached out, grabbed Zhao Xiong's collar in one grip, lifted him up like a chick, then raised his hand and delivered another slap.
Pa!
This slap was stronger than the one that hit Li Kun's face, and Zhao Xiong's half of his face instantly swelled.
He struck with extreme force, each punch and kick landing on their vital spots, yet he did not kill them instantly, only making them feel excruciating pain.
Li Kun and Zhao Xiong were beaten until they cried for their parents, curled up on the ground, constantly rolling, emitting wails from their mouths.
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting! Jiang Feng, we were wrong! We dare not do it again!"
"Please, spare us! We will never again cause trouble for the Su family!"
Jiang Feng fought for a while, until both were beaten black and blue and could no longer get up, then he stopped.
He looked down at the two men wailing on the ground, his tone thick with killing intent.
"Get lost! Go tell the Jiangnan Prince to wash his neck and wait! I, Jiang Feng, have returned; what is owed to the Su family and what is owed to me, I will collect, principal and interest!"
"And you two, go back and wait to die! Anyone who dares to move against the Su family, I will not let you die an easy death!"
Hearing this, Li Kun and Zhao Xiong were terrified out of their wits, hastily nodding like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely pass on the message! We will definitely pass on the message!"
"We're leaving now, we're leaving now!"
The two scrambled out of the ward, rolling and crawling, fearing that if they were slow, Jiang Feng would change his mind and kill them.
Watching their sorry fleeing figures, Jiang Feng's gaze remained icy.
Jiangnan Wangfu
Li Kun, Zhao Xiong, these people—he will let none of them off!
"Jiang Feng..."
Just then, Su Xueyan's urgent voice came.
"Jiang Feng, quickly check on grandfather's condition—he… he seems to be getting worse…"
Hearing this, Jiang Feng's heart sank, and he hurriedly walked to the bedside.
At this moment, Su Lao lay on the bed, eyes tightly shut, his breathing so weak it was barely perceptible.
Jiang Feng extended his hand, placed it on Su Lao's wrist, circulated his true qi within his body, and carefully sensed Su Lao's breath.
This sensation made Jiang Feng's expression instantly become extremely grave.
Su Lao's breath had weakened to the extreme, his vital signs were rapidly fading, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any moment!
