Hearing Su Wan's strenuous scream, Tang Yifeng's face darkened on the spot.
He turned around and hung up the phone, his cold eyes fixed on Su Wan who was tied to the tree.
She was wearing a plain white dress, and the moonlight in the sky was soft. The faint light shone on Su Wan's frightened yet somewhat stubborn face, exuding a contradictory temperament.
She looks very weak, but she seems to be hiding unimaginable energy.
At this moment, Tang Yifeng suddenly understood why Jiang Xuecheng liked her.
Su Wan felt a little frightened when Tang Yifeng looked at her. She bit her lips tightly, not doubting that the furious Tang Yifeng would come over and slap her.
No one spoke, and the only sound in the air was the chirping of summer insects. Such an eerie silence made Su Wan feel an indescribable fear in his heart.
What Su Wan didn't expect was that Tang Yifeng didn't do that. Instead, he glanced at her lightly, and then shifted his gaze to the lavender fields stretching down the mountain.
"Your man won't be here for more than ten minutes, late girl, let me tell you a story."
Tang Yifeng stood with his hands behind his back. This man who was always laughing and joking, and never serious, now looked indescribably lonely and desolate.
Su Wan swallowed hard. Her life was now in Tang Yifeng's hands, so it would be better for her to cooperate with him.
"You talk, I listen."
Su Wan stared at Tang Yifeng's back without blinking. She spoke very softly, for fear of angering the other party.
"Sister Wan, do you know Zheng Yaoxuan?"
As he spoke, Tang Yifeng looked up at the dim crescent moon in the sky.
Zheng, Yao, Xuan
Su Wan's expression froze when she heard this. Although she never took the initiative to inquire about political affairs, this name was indeed well-known. Even after so many years, she would occasionally hear a few people mention it after dinner.
Why did Tang Yifeng suddenly bring up these old stories
However, the incident that happened more than ten years ago was so serious that even though Su Wan was very young at the time, it was still difficult for her to forget it.
Zheng Yaoxuan was once a prominent figure who could influence the situation in Jiuzhou and was known for his integrity. Later, some people speculated that he would sooner or later sit on the highest chair in Jiuzhou.
However, just when public opinion was turning to Zheng Yaoxuan, a large number of negative reports about him were suddenly exposed.
It was said that Zheng Yaoxuan used the name of integrity to amass wealth, and that his so-called love for the people was just a gimmick. He disregarded the law and suppressed a serious case that cost hundreds of lives.
What is even more unexpected is that the reason why Zheng Yaoxuan has a smooth career is because he had connections with foreign-related organizations in his early years and sold Kyushu’s secrets to other countries!
No one in the Zheng family is engaged in business, but Zheng Yaoxuan's overseas assets have reached a staggering number!
As soon as this news came out, there was a turmoil in Jiuzhou. Zheng Yaoxuan went from being a hero praised by everyone to a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
That’s right, after Zheng Yaoxuan was overthrown that year, the person who took over the position of chief was Jiang Zhiyuan, the old man of the Jiang family.
Judging from Tang Yifeng's tone, I'm afraid the relationship between him and Zheng Yaoxuan is quite unusual
Could it be a direct relative
Su Wan only knew that Zheng Yaoxuan was executed by firing squad at that time, but she did not know in detail what happened to Zheng Yaoxuan's family afterwards.
Su Wanqiang suppressed her fear, took a deep breath and asked softly.
"Are you Zheng Yaoxuan's grandson?"
Judging from your age, this is the only reliable answer.
Su Wan said this carefully.
Suddenly, Tang Yifeng, who had his back to Su Wan, turned his head away abruptly. He looked at Su Wan deeply, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Oh, you're not that stupid."
Tang Yifeng brushed his smoky gray sleeves and walked closer to Su Wan. His cold eyes were like a poisonous snake, oozing with venom that could penetrate the heart and cut through the bones.
"Aren't you very curious about why I didn't accept Lu Xiao? Yes, I like Lu Xiao a little bit."
Su Wan's eyes widened. She had never said this before, but was she so obvious about it
Hearing the second half of Tang Yifeng's words, Su Wan nodded suddenly, thinking that she could still use her emotions and reason to bring Tang Yifeng back on the right track.
"Brother Tang, they say that misfortune should not affect one's wife and children, not to mention that you are Zheng Yaoxuan's grandson. He deserves what he got for his crime, but it has nothing to do with you. You are still so young, why don't you let go of your hatred and move towards a better future?"
Tang Yifeng smiled coldly upon hearing this and suddenly grabbed Su Wan's neck.
Su Wan didn't expect Tang Yifeng to turn hostile so quickly. He was fine just now. She didn't understand why Tang Yifeng looked like a lit firecracker, so terrifying.
Seeing that Su Wan was speechless and her beautiful cheeks turned a sickly purple, Tang Yifeng snorted coldly and let go of her before Su Wan was about to suffocate.
"Future? Does someone like me have a future? It's the Jiang family that ruined my life!"
Tang Yifeng's face flushed with anger. He stomped hard on the soil on the ground, suddenly picked up a stone, and threw it hard down the cliff.
After throwing the stone down, Tang Yifeng gasped in pain for several times and gradually regained his composure.
"Do you understand what it feels like to know, as a teenager, that you'll never be a man again in your life?"
Tang Yifeng's slightly hoarse voice fell into Su Wan's ears, causing her whole body to tremble!
What does it mean that I can never be a man again in this life? !
What era is this now? There wouldn’t be anyone who would castrate Tang Yifeng, right
Su Wan stared at it in a daze, unable to believe it anymore. His forehead twitched twice again because of his bizarre thoughts.
Tang Yifeng's pair of peach blossom-like eyes narrowed slightly, no longer giving people a warm or mischievous feeling, but only full of indescribable coldness and indifference.
Two days before Zheng Yaoxuan's affairs were made public, the Zheng family heard the news and quickly transferred their assets, preparing to flee with the money.
What a terrible disaster that was!
They were intercepted just after they escaped from Jiuzhou. At that time, Tang Yifeng and his parents were on a highway in Haicheng, and eventually the car and they fell into the sea.
Neither of Tang Yifeng's parents survived, only the young Tang Yifeng survived, but because of the car accident, his body was severely traumatized and he could never be human again in this life.
The last remaining report on this matter in Kyushu was that Zheng Yaoxuan's family fell into the sea and went missing, and the salvage operation failed after many days.
However, Tang Yifeng did not die. He was rescued by an organization in Dongchen Country, who helped him to reassign his identity and sent him back to Jiuzhou to be raised.
…
Tang Yifeng spoke indifferently about the events of more than ten years ago. His voice was indifferent and cold, as if he was just stating a very simple matter.
But those hands were clenched tightly.
