Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Leng Family

Leng Family.

The entire family was tense due to the sudden storms shaking the Leng Family.

Leng Yuchen’s father had been managing the family for many years and naturally had his connections.

Therefore, when he found out that the Leng Family had been targeted because Leng Yuchen crossed people he shouldn’t have, he truly wanted to beat his wasteful son to death.

"Leng Yuchen, you caused today’s mess, and you’d better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Leng Yuchen’s father glared at him with cold eyes, holding a massive Killing Stick in his hand.

Leng Yuchen looked into his father’s furious gaze with unease.

After his eyes met those of his elder brother standing beside him, he suddenly gained a lot of confidence.

"Big brother!"

He cried pitifully to Leng Qianchen, "Brother, you’re the only one who can help me now. Please don’t ignore me."

He bit his lower lip, feigning weakness and pity with ease.

"Big brother, look at dad, he really wants to beat me to death! Our family hasn’t enacted family punishment for such a long time. Isn’t he forcing me to die by doing this?"

Leng Qianchen looked at his younger brother somewhat helplessly, "Is it that serious?"

"How is it not serious?"

Leng Yuchen tugged at Leng Qianchen’s clothes, "Just look at dad; he clearly doesn’t want me as his son anymore. If there was any fatherly love left, he wouldn’t think about beating me with such a big stick!"

"Me, beat you?" Leng Yuchen’s father snorted coldly, "If beating you could solve the problem, you would be half paralyzed by now!"

As he spoke, he glared intensely, "You tell me clearly, who did you provoke? How could someone target our Leng Family?"

The Leng Family’s actions had long been frowned upon by others.

Even so, no one had taken action like this before.

This time, Leng Yuchen clearly hit a snag.

Upon hearing the accusation, Leng Yuchen retorted with a pout, "Who else could I have offended? Isn’t it just the Cheng Family?"

"You say Cheng Family as though it settles the matter?" his father replied, his expression still dark, "You tell me clearly, how exactly did you offend the Cheng Family, making them so relentless?"

"Don’t you already know the situation?" Leng Yuchen was getting impatient from being repeatedly questioned, "I’ve said it many times. The Cheng Family’s relentless pursuit isn’t my fault!"

"Before, Cheng Xingjian led people to block me. If I hadn’t been rescued, your son, my life would have ended long ago. What’s the point of discussing this now?"

"What’s the point?" Leng Yuchen’s father snorted, "I don’t care what you went through before. Since you were young, I taught you that no matter what happens, you have to deal with it yourself and never involve the family."

"Tell me, what did you do? As the Young Master of the Leng Family, you used our family’s power to smuggle three wanted criminals back? And all this to kidnap Cheng Xingjian’s daughter?"

As he mentioned this, his anger grew, "You better give me a reasonable explanation, why did you kidnap her? What was your purpose?"

Leng Yuchen stubbornly refused to reveal his intentions.

To the side.

Leng Qianchen hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Leng Yuchen’s father quickly asked, "Do you know something?"

Leng Qianchen lowered his head, his tone formal yet respectful, "I’ve just heard some news..."

"Heard?" Leng Yuchen’s father frowned, "What did you hear?"

"I heard..." he lowered his voice, "the one who has a grudge against Miss Cheng is Shi Family’s young lady."

Leng Yuchen’s father listened, feeling annoyed, "What’s all this about the Cheng Family and Shi Family? What on earth is going on?"

Leng Qianchen was about to speak when Leng Yuchen anxiously interrupted him, "Big brother! Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t do it for anyone."

Seeing this, Leng Qianchen had no choice but to remain silent.

Seeing this, Leng Yuchen’s father gave Leng Qianchen a look of disappointment and continued to glare coldly at Leng Yuchen.

"You’d better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Leng Yuchen pursed his lips and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Just consider that I want to take revenge. Cheng Xingjian almost killed me that day; it’s unreasonable for me, as the Young Master of the Leng Family, to have suffered such humiliation and not even be allowed to take revenge."

"If you really were doing this for the sake of vengeance, I might actually respect you slightly more, but tell me, is that the case?"

Leng Yuchen’s expression turned bitter, "Why wouldn’t it be?"

"Or is it that, Dad, you’ve come to know something already?"

"Heh," Leng Yuchen’s father chuckled coldly, "Otherwise, why do you think you’re kneeling here today?"

"Just because of a woman, the century-old foundation of the Leng Family was nearly destroyed by your hands. Tell me, have you lived up to the nurturing of the Leng Family, lived up to the trust of your brothers?"

Leng Yuchen was suddenly at a loss for words.

He certainly knew that he had done wrong.

But what could he do?

He had originally thought his plan was foolproof, but an unexpected hindrance occurred along the way...

With that thought, his expression filled with even more resentment.

"It’s all because of that woman that day. If it wasn’t for her..."

Every time he thought of that woman from that day, a chilling light swiftly crossed the depths of Leng Yuchen’s eyes.

He immediately looked up and said to his father, "Dad, I’ve remembered something!"

"What?"

"I know who’s been helping Cheng Xingjian target us."

Leng Yuchen stated with certainty, "The person I hired almost succeeded that day; then suddenly a woman appeared and knocked down the three people I had employed. Moreover, she seemed to possess some kind of highly lethal weapon that I’ve never even seen before..."

The assassination attempt on Gull Street that day had been arranged by Leng Yuchen, but he hadn’t been at the scene personally.

After all, in his mind, his plan was foolproof.

He could never have imagined that he would fail when dealing with a little girl still wet behind the ears!

Later, he also watched the video of Shi Yaoguang using the Laser Sword on Gull Street.

After seeing the video, she knew where she had lost.

Similarly,

He mentally labeled Shi Yaoguang as marked for death.

Every time he thought about his failed masterpiece, all because of a woman, Leng Yuchen was furious.

What was even more infuriating was that this woman was Shi Yiqing’s sister!

No.

Perhaps, they weren’t even sisters at all.

Shi Yaoguang was nothing more than a stumbling block!

Thinking this, a severe harshness flickered in Leng Yuchen’s eyes.

He looked at his father and pleaded, "Dad, could you lend me some men?"

"What are you thinking of doing?" Leng Yuchen’s father looked at him with cool eyes, a hint of dissatisfaction in his gaze.

Leng Yuchen stated his intentions directly, "That woman caused my downfall and even wants to strike at our Leng Family; I can’t possibly let her go! As long as you provide me with enough manpower, I will definitely be able to—"

"Enough!"

Leng Yuchen’s father interrupted sharply, "You fool! If she were that easy to kill, would she be able to ruin your plans?"

Leng Yuchen was stopped by this question.

Blinded by hatred, he had indeed forgotten this crucial point.

Upon reflection, his father’s words made a lot of sense.

He was about to say something to his father when Leng Qianchen’s phone rang...
