Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1257: Capsized in the Gutter?!

Not long after, Situ Yan drove up, also bringing Mu Yanluo to the scene.

She was extremely upset. Originally, she was tailing Jiang Feng perfectly fine, but as she exited the city, she ran into a traffic jam.

And Jiang Feng purposely sped up, leaving her behind.

When she finally caught up again, she realized everything here seemed to have ended. There were only a few empty business cars left, with Jiang Feng leaning against a Volvo, smoking by himself.

"Where is everyone? Why are you alone?"

Situ Yan asked, perplexed, as she got out of the car, eyes wide in inquiry.

"What people?" Jiang Feng feigned ignorance.

"Capital City people, of course!" Situ Yan replied irritably.

"I chased them all away."

Jiang Feng extinguished his cigarette. Concisely, he instructed the two women, "You two arrived just in time. Drive the cars back and also clean up this place. I'm going to the Provincial City."

The bodies and bloodstains had all been cleaned up, but the empty cars remained, potentially attracting unwanted attention. It was best to let Situ Yan handle the aftermath.

Situ Yan was speechless. She had just arrived, and Jiang Feng was already asking her to clean up after him!

Mu Yanluo felt rather awkward looking at Jiang Feng—after all, she too had followed along and now felt somewhat embarrassed...

"Let's leave it at that. I'm going. Don't follow me this time!"

Jiang Feng emphasized his words, glaring at Situ Yan before getting into a business car and driving away.

"This guy just orders people around as if I'm his maid!" Situ Yan grumbled angrily.

However, despite her complaints, she still had to follow Jiang Feng's instructions. Especially since there was a crashed business car that drew particular attention, it definitely needed prompt handling.

In the end, she had no choice but to take out her phone and contact the relevant departments for towing...

...

Meanwhile, at the Provincial City.

Since Baili Xi led his family into the manor, and Ao Zhong took people down to Binhai, the rest of the group headed by Lin Liansheng waited at the entrance.

It's truly humiliating for them. As a family from the Capital City, they not only failed to receive privileged treatment on the Provincial City's territory but were also left outside the doors.

And ironically, this was all caused by Lin Liansheng himself for confronting Baili Xi!

Now, a group of people stood under the blazing sun. Even though they intentionally stayed in the shadows, they were drenched in sweat!

The corpse of Lin Zekai, lying on the ground, suffered the worst, emanating a pungent stench like salty fish, unbearably foul.

"Liansheng! That old Baili Xi is outrageous, leaving us outside and not inviting us inside! He's determined to defy the Lin family!"

Ai Sichun angrily lamented.

She was the one causing a scene earlier, and now she was the one cursing the Baili family, always unreasonable.

"Don't worry, he won't be smug for long. Wait until Ao Zhong returns with a head; let's see how they will argue then! I'll make him kneel and beg me!"

Lin Liansheng was also furious, speaking viciously!

"By the way, Ao Zhong has been gone for a while. He doesn't know the people in Binhai; can he smoothly find that Jiang? Wouldn't that damned kid run or hide after killing our son? What if Ao Zhong can't find him?" Ai Sichun asked again.

"You know Ao Zhong's capabilities, don't you? He'll figure it out! That Jiang dared to kill our son, but he won't escape the Lin family's grasp, even if he flees to the ends of the earth!" Lin Liansheng was highly self-assured, having complete trust in Ao Zhong's abilities. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Yet Ai Sichun couldn't help but feel uneasy. Usually living comfortably, now she was almost peeling from the sun, unable to wait another moment, thus taking out her phone and calling Ao Zhong.

Unexpectedly, after several calls, no one answered, leaving her bewildered!

"What's going on? Ao Zhong is unreachable!"

Ai Sichun exclaimed, handing her phone to Lin Liansheng.

"Impossible!"

Lin Liansheng frowned, took the phone, and made two calls, also unanswered.

"What's the deal?!"

Then Lin Liansheng took out his own phone and called the others accompanying Ao Zhong, also getting no answer, finally feeling a sense of foreboding!

"Could it be that Ao Zhong encountered trouble even when directly heading to a third-tier city?!!"

He found it incredible. He knew Ao Zhong's prowess best, having followed him for years, progressing to Late Stage Human King, walking with impunity in most provinces across the nation, how could there be a mishap in a small town?!

But regardless, his ominous feeling intensified; he came to Jiangdong hastily with his strongest aide, Ao Zhong. If anything happened to Ao Zhong, returning home safely would be impossible.

Even though retreating now was a wise choice, it wasn't his character; without avenging his son, how could he leave with his tail between his legs?!

After pondering, the Baili family in front were the only ones offering protection. Right away, Lin Liansheng pointed at the manor entrance and commanded: "Go ahead, break it open! I don't believe Baili Xi would really leave me outside for a day. Doesn't the Baili family want to stay in China?!"

Following orders, his men immediately went up, banging on the manor doors, yelling and cursing!

...

At the same time.

Baili Xi was seated in his study, relaxing with closed eyes.

Outside, Shi Yaokun continued to kneel, motionless, punishing himself, hoping Baili Xi would cool off.

Of course, this was his deliberate act to give Baili Xi a step in front of the family, exploiting Baili Xi's soft heart, attacking his weak spot.

As expected, after a lengthy stalemate, Baili Xi finally couldn't hold back, let out a deep sigh, got up, and opened the door.

"Grandfather, your grandson was wrong. Please punish me!"

Shi Yaokun immediately knelt, his tone overwhelmingly solemn and guilty, full of remorse.

But if Baili Xi could see his expression, he'd find the disdain and insincerity written all over his face.

"Forget it! I know you meant well for the family. If you had any private intentions, they were at most due to your displeasure with Jiang Feng causing trouble for the family."

Baili Xi calmly said, "In the future, remember, if it's not your place to intervene, don't speak recklessly; the family isn't yours to lead yet!"

"Yes!"

Shi Yaokun earnestly kowtowed: "Please rest assured, Grandfather. I will awaken to my status and refrain from overstepping again!"

Only then did he muster the pain and resolve to stand up.

At that moment, Bai Touying, hurriedly entering the study, addressed Baili Xi: "Old Master, the Lin family is desperate now! They've broken through the doors, entered the drawing room, demanding an explanation!"

Baili Xi's eyes sharpened, he was about to speak when suddenly someone rushed through the corridor to report urgently: "Master! A business car just arrived from the mountain path, looks like it's the people the Lin family sent to Binhai returning!"

"What?!"

Baili Xi and Bai Touying were taken aback!

Did that group really find Jiang Feng and kill him, bringing back his head?!

Behind them, Shi Yaokun's mouth subtly curled into a cold smile!
