Chapter 690: 355 Arrogant (Thirteen More Updates)_2
Mr. Shen sighed, feeling tired after watching the drama unfold for so long.
“What a twist of fate, a truly big surprise.” He glanced at Shen Zhou after saying this.
Their eyes met, and they both laughed at the same time.
Madam Shen shook her head: “How could she be Ran Bowen’s daughter?”
She really didn’t have a good impression of Ran Bowen, and Ming Jing didn’t look like his daughter at all from any angle.
But reality is often absurd.
“How much merit has Ran Bowen accumulated to have such a daughter? Bah, he doesn’t have any merits to speak of.”
“Going home? Do I, a bastard, have a home?”
Ran Tengxiao narrowed his eyes; his gaze suddenly fell on Zhu Xiangxiang: “Just now, it was you who said my little aunt was a bastard, right?”
Zhu Xiangxiang’s legs trembled, and she instinctively took a step back, shaking her head desperately: “No...it wasn’t me.”
Ran Tengxiao stood in the center of the hall, tall and graceful, and said with a slight smile: “Ye Feng.”
A young man in a black short double-breasted jacket emerged like a ghost. It was a cold winter day, but he was bare-armed, exposing his strong muscles.
The appearance of the young man startled everyone present. No one noticed when he had appeared. The fear of the unknown sent a chill up their spines.
“Hehe, you dare to curse our young lady as a bastard. You’re as good as dead.”
At first glance, he seemed like an adorable young man with a small braid on his head, giving him a unique style. But in just three steps, he reached Zhu Xiangxiang. Before she had a chance to scream, he grabbed her by the throat, lifting her with one hand.
Zhu Xiangxiang’s fear was magnified, her feet left the floor, and her hands grabbed the young man’s arm. That arm was like steel and iron, impervious to blades and spears.
Zhu Xiangxiang’s eyes widened, filled with fear.
Shrill screams filled the room. This audacity to kill in broad daylight was outrageous.
Some of the timid ones had already fainted.
As a police officer, Li Ling couldn’t just stand by and watch a murder happen right before his eyes. He drew his gun at the young man’s head and shouted, “Let her go, now!”
“Sergeant Li.” Ran Tengxiao curled his lips: “It’s just a lesson for a loose-tongued person. There’s no need for such a fuss.”
“Ran Tengxiao, it’s broad daylight with so many eyes watching. Don’t cross the line!”
His arrogance was infuriating. The Rans were indeed too arrogant, constantly treading on the edge of the law.
Zhu Shaodan stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
He knew Ye Feng, who had lost to Xi Yu at the Martial Arts Conference. But Ye Feng was a martial arts genius, Zhu Shaodan could never catch up to him, even if he dedicated his whole life to training without stopping for food or rest.
He wasn’t entirely heartless towards Zhu Xiangxiang. After all, they had grown up together. Seeing her so helpless now, he felt a little pity for her.
No one came forward to help Zhu Xiangxiang. Instead, they all moved back as if she were the plague.
Only Zhao Xiaohui rushed over, picked up Zhu Xiangxiang, and said with concern, “Xiangxiang, don’t scare mom.”
Zhao Xiaohui pointed at Ye Feng and yelled, “You are the murderer, don’t leave, the police need to arrest him!”
Li Ling coldly ordered, “Put your hands up and stay still.”
Ye Feng grinned, “Officer, I didn’t kill anyone. Don’t falsely accuse innocent people.”
Everyone shivered watching the scene.
Filled with ruthless malice, this seemingly innocent young man made people feel a chill down their spines.
The more innocent his smile, the more fear grew in people’s hearts.
“Are you a good person?” Li Ling pocketed his gun and tried to grab Ye Feng. However, he couldn’t catch Ye Feng easily, and the two began to fight.
Li Ling was shocked at Ye Feng’s immense combat skills despite his young age. After a few bouts, he hadn’t gained any advantages.
Everyone watched the scene, with their hearts pounding.
At this moment, Zhu Xiangxiang coughed violently. As she opened her eyes and saw Zhao Xiaohui, she cried, “I almost died.”
Her voice was hoarse beyond recognition.
Zhao Xiaohui hugged her and said, “Don’t cry. Mom will protect you. Let’s leave this place.”
Ye Feng stepped back and smiled at Li Ling, “Officer, you had me wrong.”
Li Ling glanced at the now awoken Zhu Xiangxiang, went up to her, squatted down, and checked her condition.
“How do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Although she wasn’t a good person, no one had the right to take away her life.
Zhu Xiangxiang, terrified, shook her head: “No, I don’t....”
She was like a frightened bird.
It seemed she was completely shocked by the situation.
Li Ling clenched his fist, finally realizing the extent of the Rans’ arrogance and dominance in Jiangzhou.
In front of so many people, they toyed with human lives like it was a joke, and everyone seemed to have become desensitized to it. No one stood up to condemn them, just trying to save themselves in the situation.
Ming Jing walked over, squatted down, and checked her pulse, “It’s fine, just a little frightened. Take her down to rest.”
Zhao Xiaohui tearfully said, “Ms. Ming Jing, I’m so sorry, I really can’t face you.”
Ming Jing smiled and patted her shoulder, “Who can clearly tell right from wrong in this world? I know you did it for Yangyang. After you take her home, be sure to discipline her.”
“I know, thank you for understanding, Ms. Ming Jing.” Zhao Xiaohui hadn’t even finished speaking when Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly sat up and madly tried to strangle Ming Jing’s neck.
“You go die...”
