The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 910: Chapter 909: Blood Debts Must Be Paid in Blood

”Su Changfeng, our Kong Family seems to have never provoked you. Why did you come to my home today and treat my mother like this?” Kong Yafei changed his attitude from earlier with An Shiwen. After all, speaking with An Shiwen, he still had some courage, partly because he and An Shiwen were about the same age and partly because the status difference between the An Family and the Kong Family wasn’t too vast, thus giving him some confidence to confront An Shiwen.

But when it came to Su Changfeng, Kong Yafei had no courage at all. Su Changfeng was at the height of his power, having directly pushed Ye Litian to a point of no return. How could he dare to provoke him? If things went wrong, the entire Kong Family might suffer.

”Eldest Young Master Kong, take a look at the young lady beside me. Do you remember her?” Su Changfeng pointed to Lu Qingqing as he spoke.

Kong Yafei glanced at Lu Qingqing but couldn’t recall who she was. After all, Kong Yafei was a playboy, changing women was a norm for him. How could he remember Lu Qingqing after all this time?

”Who is she?” Kong Yafei asked, looking puzzled.

”I never thought Eldest Young Master Kong would forget things so easily, but that’s okay, I can help you recall. After all, I have all the time in the world. Do you remember when your father got drunk and ran over two people — they were her family?” Su Changfeng said indifferently, though his gaze concealed deep coldness.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Kong Yafei’s pupils instantly dilated.

Even though it had been years and upon meeting again, he no longer recognized Lu Qingqing, he still had memories of the incident.

Having suddenly heard about this matter, Kong Yafei’s father roughly understood the reason. He never imagined that, years later, the girl he looked down upon found Su Changfeng to help her. He could no longer act recklessly as before.

”We’ve already discussed this matter back then,” began Kong Yafei’s father, trying to explain.

”Heh, do you mean ’settlement’ as in Kong Yafei threatening her, making her sleep with him in exchange for the money? Or do you mean ’settlement’ where she received nothing, and was even brutally beaten by your son till half-dead? Is this the so-called settlement of your Kong Family?” Su Changfeng said coldly.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng speak like this, Kong Yafei’s father looked utterly shocked, clearly unaware of these details.

Yes, Kong Yafei’s father assumed that Lu Qingqing willingly settled privately, took the money, and disappeared, utterly unaware that his son secretly did these unspeakable things and even had the girl sleep with him.

”Kong Yafei, you brat, look at the mess you’ve caused,” said Kong Yafei’s father with an expression of disappointment, not sparing Kong Yafei but instead giving him a slap. If they had just paid the money back then, how could they have incurred Su Changfeng’s wrath? It was all because of his prodigal son’s actions, having done such things, now even if he gives money, she wouldn’t agree.

Kong Yafei covered his face, deeply regretting inside, initially thinking she was a powerless young girl, not giving her a second thought. But unexpectedly, she had found Su Changfeng to aid her.

If Kong Yafei were given another chance, he would unquestionably have given Lu Qingqing the money, not daring to provoke her. But alas, that’s not how life works, there’s no remedy for regret.

Kong Yafei’s father barked at him to kneel before Su Changfeng. Kong Yafei obediently kneeled, not daring to utter a single defiance.

Facing Su Changfeng, they couldn’t afford to provoke him, so they had to bow their heads, not daring to resist.

”Brother Changfeng, back then I was captivated by beauty and Qingqing looked attractive, leading my thoughts astray. I’ll fulfill any compensation Lu Qingqing wants now,” Kong Yafei said sincerely.

Seeing Kong Yafei kneeling on the ground, Lu Qingqing, tense all this time, finally felt somewhat relaxed. Even she couldn’t believe that the arrogant Kong Yafei was now kneeling before her.

”I suppose you know the principle that a prince and a commoner should be punished the same for crime, right? Not everything can be forgiven; sometimes, a blood debt must be paid in blood,” Su Changfeng said coldly.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Kong Yafei’s parents, including himself, instantly turned pale. Blood debt must be paid in blood—does this mean repaying with their own lives?

None of the Kong Family members wished to die; they had endless money and lived lavish, luxurious lifestyles. Such a beautiful life—how could they possibly be willing to give it up? Unless there was a glimpse of a turn, they wouldn’t let go.

The Kong Family members understood that the key now wasn’t about pleading with Su Changfeng but imploring Lu Qingqing. As long as Lu Qingqing was willing to spare them and say some good words, Su Changfeng probably wouldn’t make things difficult.

The once arrogant Mrs. Kong now spoke in a gentle tone, holding onto Lu Qingqing as she said, ”Qingqing, parents are the ones who gave birth to you and raised you. I understand you deeply hate us, but your parents have already passed. Even if we sacrificed our lives today, they wouldn’t return to you. Your most important task now is to live well. Whatever you desire, we can compensate you with—houses, cars, you can freely state your conditions.”

Lu Qingqing heard these words but felt no temptation, viewing such a wealthy lady with disdain. Her parents couldn’t come back—but why? Wasn’t it because of the sins their family had committed back then? Now that they’re threatened, they speak kindly seeking her forgiveness; why would she agree?

Lu Qingqing was indeed moneyless now—this was true. But if this money was exchanged for her parents’ lives, she would rather never touch it.

”Even if I’m penniless, I will not betray my conscience by tainting my parents’ lives for money,” Lu Qingqing growled.

Mrs. Kong had thought that such an offer to someone as lacking money as Lu Qingqing would naturally be accepted, but the outcome surprised her, so she altered her plan, ready to persistently plead with Lu Qingqing.

The next moment, Kong Yafei’s mother directly kneeled before Lu Qingqing, tears slipping from her eyes.

”Lu Qingqing, I beg you, spare us. As long as I can keep my life, whatever conditions you lay out, I’m willing to fulfill. I implore you to not treat us harshly,” the wealthy lady pleaded, tearfully and with a runny nose.

But Lu Qingqing, seeing him plead, felt no pity, her heart filled with immense contempt.
