The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 114: Chapter 112 Compromise

Liu Mu was absolutely right; the laws of Dragon Country were not made by Martial Artists. Dragon Country nurtures Martial Artists to defend and maintain peace in the country, not to bully.

Thus, even Ye Feng would not cause someone to lose their fortune without reason.

However, the foundation of the Zhang Family was definitely not clean, merely harboring seven A-level fugitives from other countries was a serious crime.

Just this alone could strip the Zhang Family of everything regardless of whether Zhang Jiuling knew if they were fugitives or not. It was still a crime.

Therefore, Ye Feng had good reason to be so assertive at this time.

”Ha ha ha~~~” Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Zhang Jiuling burst into laughter, his laughter growing increasingly maniacal.

”How ridiculous to think that all my family’s assets would be seized! Who do you think you are? Give you ten minutes? I’ll give you an hour, a day, a month, a year, and I still wouldn’t believe you could achieve that, who are you trying to fool?”

Ye Feng ignored Zhang Jiuling and turned to Sheng Xingzi: ”Sheng Xingzi, you’ve indulged your disciples, leading to frequent fatalities in the Southern Border, even killing law enforcement officers. What should your punishment be?”

Sheng Xingzi, a look of terror on his face, repeatedly said, ”Mr. Ye, as you know, I have always been practicing on the mountain and seldom come down. They didn’t commit any serious wrongs back then, and I neglected them. I came to Lin Tian City this time to punish these few transgressors for their actions. I had no intention of covering up for them!”

Sheng Xingzi, aside from not wanting to go to the Southern Border because he was focused on training, was actually a rather upright person. His disciples ended up on the wrong path mostly because Sheng Xingzi, in his pursuit of breaking through to the Innate Peak, spent years in seclusion, not properly guiding his disciples.

This is how many Martial Artists ended up; once they became Martial Artists, their power surpassed that of ordinary people, leading to arrogance and a deviation onto the wrong path.

Ye Feng said, ”Now, I give you two choices: one is to go to the Southern Border and guard it for thirty years, the other is to protect the Lin Family in Linnan Province for ten years, ensuring their safety. If anything happens to any of them, you will atone with your life!”

Sheng Xingzi, with a resigned look, said: ”Mr. Ye, can I choose a third option?”

”What do you think?” Ye Feng calmly looked at Sheng Xingzi, who trembled at Ye Feng’s serene gaze, and quickly made a decision: ”I’ll choose to stay in Lin Tian City at the Lin Family’s residence and protect them for ten years...”

Sheng Xingzi was nearly seventy years old now, and if he stayed in the Southern Border for thirty years, by the time he got out, he’d nearly be a hundred.

So Sheng Xingzi didn’t have many carefree years left to live. Though it was common for a Grandmaster to live up to one hundred twenty years, the thought of fighting in the Southern Border in his eighties and nineties was too much for him.

Ye Feng also had considerations; the Lin Family needed a guardian. Ye Feng couldn’t always be there to protect the Lin Family himself, like the last time Ye Feng left the Lin Family briefly to heal his injuries, and during that time, Lin Shiyu had been kidnapped.

With Sheng Xingzi there, it was a safeguard for the Lin Family. Moreover, in a few days, Ye Feng would travel with Li Linfeng to Nanhong City in the Southern Border and he didn’t know when they’d return. Having Sheng Xingzi there made Ye Feng feel more at ease.

Ye Feng said indifferently, ”Then, for the next ten years, you will diligently guard the Lin Family. Don’t even think about running away; if you flee, you know what I’m capable of...”

”Yes, I understand, Mr. Ye!” Sheng Xingzi nodded.

Sheng Xingzi knew Ye Feng held an extraordinary position in the Southern Border, and it had only been because Ye Feng disdained pursuing Sheng Xingzi before.

Otherwise, by mobilizing the forces of the Southern Border, no matter where Sheng Xingzi fled to, as long as he remained within Dragon Country, Ye Feng could bring him to justice.

Just at that moment, Zhang Xin’s phone suddenly rang.

However, overwhelmed by fear towards Ye Feng, Zhang Xin didn’t even have the courage to answer.

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Xin: ”What are you dazed for, answer the phone!”

”Yes... yes!” Unable to defy Ye Feng, Zhang Xin hastily nodded and took the call.

Within a short span, Zhang Xin’s already gloomy expression grew even more unsightly.

Zhang Xin stared blankly at Zhang Jiuling, ”Grandfather... it’s... it’s bad, our casino has been sealed...”

”How is that possible?” Zhang Jiuling was stunned, his shocked gaze turning to Ye Feng, his mind racing, wondering if it truly was Ye Feng’s doing.

But just then, Zhang Jiuling’s own phone rang.

A bad premonition came over him, his whole body tensing up as he answered the call.

”It’s bad, Elder Zhang, our company in South City has been sealed...”

”How can this be!” Suddenly, Zhang Jiuling’s face turned extremely pale, call after call came in relentlessly, plunging Zhang Jiuling into despair.

”It’s over, everything’s over, all has been sealed!” Zhang Jiuling stood frozen in place.

He was utterly shocked; he had never dreamed that Ye Feng had the power to do this.

Ye Feng really managed to get all of Zhang Family’s assets sealed within just ten minutes.

Since Ye Feng had the power to have all of Zhang Family’s assets sealed, he naturally also had the power to restore the Zhang Family’s operations overnight.

Zhang Jiuling was filled with immense regret, realizing that Ye Feng, despite his young age, had reached a level even the nearly seventy-year-old Sheng Xingzi couldn’t match; such a person could hardly be just anybody, and his words were not to be taken lightly.

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Jiuling and said blandly, ”Zhang Jiuling, although your Zhang Family hasn’t committed any major offenses, there have been numerous minor ones. Now, can you tell me your decision?”

Zhang Jiuling’s face looked incredibly troubled, his expression filled with reluctance, but Ye Feng’s words were clear.

This time, harboring seven A-level fugitives was already a serious crime, he didn’t want the Zhang Family to be gone and then spend the rest of his life in prison.

”I’ll give, I’ll give, I’ll give everything of Zhang Family to the Lin Family, whatever you say goes!” Zhang Jiuling said in despair.

However, at that moment Zhang Rong, who had just woken up from being unconscious, saw her once imposing grandfather now bowing and scraping before Ye Feng, agreeing to give everything of the Zhang Family to the Lin Family, and she despaired.

She could never have imagined, being a cherished daughter and the center of many people’s admiration, that in this moment, she would thoroughly fall from grace, from now on devoid of any pride, and Zhang Family, too, was thoroughly ruined at this moment.
