The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 730: Chapter 731: Slapping Sun Mei

Ji Hong saw that Tang Qiulu had become particularly haggard due to guilt, and her heart couldn’t help but ache. She was especially clear about what Tang Qiulu felt at the moment, just like when she made a whole table of dishes for Su Changfeng, only for Su Changfeng to turn and leave without even tasting it.

She is also a mother; how could Ji Hong not know what this feeling is?

“Sun Mei, where is my granddaughter?” Ji Hong stared at Sun Mei with a cold expression.

In facing Ji Hong, Sun Mei was even more terrified than when facing Zhu Lie. She shook her head quickly and denied, “She was taken by Liu Lili; it has nothing to do with me. I am Ye Nianhai’s real grandmother. Do you really think I would harm my granddaughter?”

Ji Hong raised her hand and slapped Sun Mei hard, then said, “Where is my granddaughter?”

“I really don’t know, it has nothing to do with me.” Sun Mei covered her face and hurriedly explained.

Smack!

Another slap landed on Sun Mei’s face. Ji Hong repeated the words she just said, “Where is my granddaughter?”

Sun Mei felt a scorching pain on both cheeks; Ji Hong had not held back at all.

“What gives you the right to treat me like this? I’m also her elder, just like you! What gives you the right to boss me around?” Sun Mei suddenly erupted, yelling at Ji Hong in anger.

Even in the face of an about-to-explode Sun Mei, Ji Hong’s expression didn’t change much. She directly reached out and grabbed Sun Mei’s hair, pressing her head firmly downward, then raised her knee and struck Sun Mei’s face!

Although Ji Hong is a woman, when she becomes ruthless, some men can’t even compare to her. This is the difference between those in big families and ordinary people. Ji Hong can see aspects of this world that are different, and under such circumstances, her mindset is certainly stronger than that of ordinary people.

Let alone now, facing someone like Sun Mei who wanted to kill her son, Ji Hong would certainly not hold back at all.

Sun Mei screamed in pain, with blood continuously flowing from her nose, and now her heart was not only fearful but also extremely flustered.

She didn’t expect Ji Hong to suddenly appear and also didn’t expect to face Ji Hong’s violence.

“Where is my granddaughter?” It was still this question from Ji Hong.

Still the same sentence, but even though it’s a particularly ordinary sentence, it made Ji Hong shiver with fear.

It’s not that Sun Mei didn’t know; even if it meant death, she couldn’t reveal the truth of the matter, otherwise, she didn’t dare to imagine what her outcome would be.

Now with no other options, Sun Mei could only pretend to be pitiful in front of Ji Hong, hoping Ji Hong would show her some mercy.

With a thud, Sun Mei knelt on both knees, putting all her effort into displaying her weak side. Now, Sun Mei had completely given up her dignity, even standing here in front of the mother-in-law who should have been on the same level as her.

“I really don’t know; this matter has nothing to do with me. I’m begging you, please don’t hit me anymore. Spare me this time.” Sun Mei pleaded while knocking her head.

Ji Hong looked at Sun Mei coldly. Though Sun Mei held her ground firmly, revealing nothing, Ji Hong still suspected that Ye Nianhai’s matter was done by Sun Mei.

And that missing Liu Lili might have also been killed by Sun Mei.

But now, without any concrete evidence and with Sun Mei staying silent, Ji Hong had no way to act.

She couldn’t just kill Sun Mei either; after all, Sun Mei was Tang Qiulu’s mother. Ji Hong was also concerned that doing so would upset Su Changfeng, as he had spared Sun Mei before when she wanted to kill him.

Ji Hong bypassed Sun Mei and came before Tang Qiulu, helping her up and saying softly, “I will definitely find her. This time it’s not your fault; you don’t need to blame yourself so much.”

After hearing Ji Hong’s words, Tang Qiulu cried even harder. She would rather be blamed by Ji Hong now; maybe that would make her feel a bit better.

She couldn’t even take care of her own daughter; what right did she have to be cared for by others?

“Mom, I’m begging you, please find Ye Nianhai for me. Otherwise, there’s nothing left to support my reason to live, and I won’t have the face to face Chang Feng.” Tang Qiulu said tearfully.

Ji Hong nodded and said to Huo Tian, “I know you still have many subordinates. Those people have been hidden long enough that now it’s time for them to contribute. Your duty is to protect the Ye Family. I think you don’t have the right to disobey me now, do you?”

Huo Tian certainly would not stand by idly in the case of Ye Nianhai’s disappearance; she was Su Changfeng’s child. Even if Ji Hong didn’t give orders, Huo Tian would definitely investigate secretly.

“It might cost a lot of lives,” Huo Tian said coldly.

“As long as Ye Nianhai isn’t one of them, I don’t care about the others. But let it be clear, Ye Nianhai must not come to any harm,” Ji Hong said coldly.

Huo Tian said nothing, turning away to leave the villa. This was the first time since it all happened that Huo Tian was really angry!

An angry Huo Tian was undoubtedly a terrifying beast, one who had once stirred up a huge storm of blood and rain in Beijing, a person who had been a king over the world!

At 10 o’clock, Zhu Lie arrived at the Mountain Villa. When he saw Ji Hong, he was somewhat shocked. Zhu Lie never expected Ji Hong would come to Jiang City.

Even though both Ji Hong and Sun Mei are Su Changfeng’s mothers, there is a very big difference between them. The former is someone Zhu Lie respects, while the latter doesn’t even hold a place in his heart.

No matter what the relationship is between Su Changfeng and Ji Hong, she still remains Su Changfeng’s biological mother and now is the head of the Ye Family from Beijing. Such a powerful figure is definitely not someone Zhu Lie can underestimate.

He may be just a mere leader in the gray areas of Jiang City, but how could he ever compare to the lady of the Ye Family from Beijing?

“Mrs. Ye.” Zhu Lie lowered his head and said respectfully.

Ji Hong said coldly, “You may be Chang Feng’s subordinate, but you failed to protect Chang Feng’s child. Such a serious dereliction of duty is enough for you to atone with your life!”

Although Su Changfeng never considered Zhu Lie a subordinate, Ji Hong saying this didn’t cause any resistance in Zhu Lie’s heart. Because in Zhu Lie’s view, his current position really was as Su Changfeng’s subordinate.

“Once I find Ye Nianhai, no matter how Mrs. Ye plans to punish me, I, Zhu Lie, will not say a single word of complaint!” Zhu Lie said.

Ji Hong had no doubt about Zhu Lie’s loyalty to Su Changfeng, then she asked, “What have you found out so far?”
