Chapter 529: Su Lao's Moving Moment

Linghu Xue, hearing this, became angry and directly retorted.

"Impossible! Aunt Xing has been unconscious for a long time; how could she come see you?"

"Now Aunt Xing must be in the Kyoto Cold Pool Secret Realm to maintain any bodily function. Making her travel thousands of miles to Jiangnan is practically a death sentence; the family would never agree!"

Linghu Xue grew more agitated as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.

Leaving aside whether Aunt Xing's condition could endure this long journey, even if it could, the family would not take this risk.

Since Aunt Xing first fell ill, the Linghu family had already summoned renowned physicians from all over, even calling upon four transcendent Grandmaster Physicians.

Yet none of them could resolve Aunt Xing's problem.

If it weren't truly that there was no other way now, given Jiang Feng's status, the Linghu family wouldn't even give him a chance to try.

Yet he actually had the nerve to demand that Aunt Xing come to Jiangnan in person?

Is this treating an illness, or is it murder?

Linghu Xue stared at Jiang Feng, her eyes full of anger.

Jiang Feng, however, gave a light smile, his expression carrying a touch of composure and a touch of confidence.

"I believe, with your Linghu family's strength, using an ice coffin to transport Aunt Xing here should be easy enough? Or you could invite some ice-attribute cultivation experts to guard her along the way."

He paused, then his tone became more casual.

"If you don't believe me, our transaction can be cancelled. I won't insist."

He said this lightly, as if cancelling the transaction meant nothing to him.

Since Su Xueyan is not currently in the country, if it weren't to let her be free of worries sooner, and besides, Aunt Xing is Su Xueyan's birth mother, Jiang Feng really couldn't be bothered with this matter.

Seeing Jiang Feng's indifferent expression, Linghu Xue wished she could fight him to the death.

But she also knew she was no match for Jiang Feng.

Linghu Xue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her chest, and said fiercely.

"If anything happens to Aunt Xing along the way, who will bear this responsibility!"

She paused, then asked again.

"Besides, why can't you go to Kyoto?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng spoke lazily, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"Kyoto is too dry; I'm not used to its climate."

Linghu Xue nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Not used to the climate?"

"What kind of excuse is that?"

Jiang Feng spoke again, this time his tone becoming somewhat more serious.

"Besides, as a daughter-in-law of the Su family, shouldn't Aunt Xing pay her respects at the Su household and mourn her late husband?"

As soon as he said that, Linghu Xue involuntarily snorted, a smirk of contempt curling her lips.

"Late husband?"

Her voice was full of disdain.

"The Linghu family will not acknowledge this relationship."

But Linghu Xue was truly afraid that Jiang Feng would abandon the task.

She bit her lip, quickly calculating in her mind.

If she pushed Jiang Feng too far, he might really wash his hands of it, and then Aunt Xing would truly be beyond help.

Moreover, what Jiang Feng said wasn't entirely without reason.

With the Linghu family's strength, using an ice coffin to transport Aunt Xing from Kyoto to Jiangnan is indeed not difficult.

Sending a few more experts to guard her along the way should pose no problem.

Linghu Xue fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"I still need to consult on this matter."

She glanced at Jiang Feng, then turned and walked out.

This time, she did not bring Xu Yansong or Xu Tong; she left the Su family gate alone and got into a car.

The car started and slowly drove away.

After Linghu Xue left, Su Lao came down from upstairs and sat opposite Jiang Feng.

He looked at Jiang Feng, a hint of emotion on his face, his eye sockets slightly reddened.

"Xiao Feng, you don't need to make an enemy of the Linghu family for the sake of the Su family."

Su Lao's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"After all, she is Xueyan's mother; if you can help, then do so. The Su family's affairs are for the Su family to bear."

Su Lao said this, letting out a long sigh.

He knew Jiang Feng was standing up for the Su family, standing up for Xueyan.

But the Linghu family—what kind of existence is it?

It is one of the Four Great Top-tier Clans of Kyoto, a true colossus.

No matter how strong Jiang Feng is, he is still just one person.

How can one person oppose a clan?

Jiang Feng smiled and reassured.

"Grandfather, Kyoto is the Linghu family's turf; if I went there like that, wouldn't I be walking into a tiger's den?"

He paused, then his tone became even more relaxed.

"Rest assured, the Linghu family will accept my terms. I dare bet that within three days, Aunt Xing will be sent to the Su family."

Su Lao looked at him, not knowing what to say.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He just patted Jiang Feng's shoulder, turned and went upstairs.

Jiang Feng sat on the sofa, lifted his teacup and took a sip, his expression calm.

He had a clear grasp of the Linghu family's psychology.

Linghu Xing can't hold out much longer.

They are now desperate for any hope, grasping at any straw.

Moreover, the conditions Jiang Feng proposed are not excessive.

Just let Linghu Xing come to the Su family, and incidentally pay respects to Su Guohua.

This is human nature.

Although the Linghu family is proud, they would not refuse even this small face.

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door.

The car stopped at the Su family villa gate, the door opened, and two people got out.

One was Jiangnan Wang, the other was Ma Jian.

The two entered the courtyard and walked to the door.

Ma Jian knocked on the door.

Jiang Feng said.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Jiangnan Wang and Ma Jian walked in.

Jiangnan Wang quickly stepped up to Jiang Feng, clasped his fists in salute.

"Mr. Jiang!"

His attitude was very respectful, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Ma Jian also followed behind and shouted.

"Jiang Ge!"

Jiang Feng nodded and pointed to the sofa.

"Sit."

Jiangnan Wang and Ma Jian sat down on the sofa.

Jiang Feng looked at them and asked.

"How are things arranged on the Kyoto side?"

Jiangnan Wang immediately reported, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

"Report to Mr. Jiang, the Kyoto side has already been arranged!"

His voice was loud, with plenty of vigor.

"The family of Hong Chengshi was safely escorted out of Kyoto last night by my people. They are now lodged in a subsidiary residence of my prince's residence in Kyoto, with dedicated protection, absolutely safe."

Jiang Feng nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Jiangnan Wang quickly waved his hand.

"Not hard at all, Mr. Jiang's affairs are my affairs."

He paused, then said again.

"Also, the contact point you asked me to investigate, Mr. Jiang, has been found."

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

"Speak."

Jiangnan Wang lowered his voice and said.

"The Dong family's contact point in Jiangnan Province is in the provincial capital. It is a company called 'Dongsheng Trading', ostensibly engaged in import-export trade, but actually it is the Dong family's intelligence station in Jiangnan."

He paused, then continued.

"The person in charge of this company is Zhou Hai, an outer member of the Dong family. I have already had people watching him; we can act at any time."

Jiang Feng fell silent for a moment, then said.

"Don't move him yet. Keep watching, see who he contacts."

Jiangnan Wang nodded.

"Understood."

Jiang Feng then looked toward Ma Jian.

"How about your side?"

Ma Jian quickly said.

"Jiang Ge, I also found out. The group that attacked Jiang Yan that day were indeed members of the Qilin Guard. They were transferred directly from Kyoto, took a military transport plane to the provincial capital airport, then switched to civilian vehicles to go to Ninghai University."

His tone carried a hint of lingering fear.

"Fortunately, Jiang Ge arrived in time; otherwise Jiang Yan would have been in danger."

Jiang Feng hummed in acknowledgment, saying nothing.

Ma Jian continued.

"Also, I discovered another matter."

Jiang Feng looked at him.

"What is it?"

Ma Jian lowered his voice, his expression turning grave.

"The Dongfang Family has more than one contact point in Jiangnan. Besides East Rising Commerce, they have at least three hidden strongholds. Their people are spread across all industries—some in government, some in the military, some in the business world—forming a very complete information network."

Jiang Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

The Dongfang Family's reach is truly long.

But this was also expected.

How could a top-tier clan not set up a presence in a place like Jiangnan?

Jiang Feng leaned back on the sofa, eyes closed, his mind racing.

Jiangnan Wang and Ma Jian sat opposite, not daring to disturb.

After a while, Jiang Feng finally opened his eyes and looked at Jiangnan Wang.

"As for the Linghu Family, you also need to send people to watch them."

Jiangnan Wang blinked in surprise.

"The Linghu Family? Mr. Jiang, the Linghu Family has come to Jiangnan too?"

Jiang Feng nodded.

"One person has come, named Linghu Xue."

Jiangnan Wang's face changed slightly.

He certainly knew who Linghu Xue was.

The Linghu Family's younger generation's core figure, a Heavenly Human Realm expert, is well known in Kyoto's circles.

He didn't expect Linghu Xue to have come to Jiangnan as well.
