Chapter 232: Come to Take You Home
Jiangnan glanced outside the door; more and more members of the Yun family were arriving!
Even Yun Hongfeng had come!
But they could only wait outside, not daring to disturb him!
After all, whether the Yun family would continue to exist was entirely up to a single word from Jiangnan.
As soon as Yun Hongfeng arrived, he pressed Yun Lei to the ground and gave him a thorough beating!
He delivered a flurry of heavy slaps to Yun Lei's backside, the sound loud and crisp!
Yun Lei: !!!
The pain was bearable enough!
But the humiliation was unbearable—neighbors and onlookers were all watching the spectacle!
He was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old—how could the elder still hit him on the butt?
Didn't he care about face at all?
Yun Fei covered her face; it was simply too painful to watch!
Listening to the screams outside, Jiangnan sneered coldly. He knew perfectly well that this was a show put on for his benefit.
It was nothing more than sacrificing a pawn to save the king.
They were shifting all the blame onto Yun Lei to preserve the Yun family.
Jiangnan paid it no mind and simply fell asleep.
After that one night!
The blow to the Yun family was absolutely devastating!
The number of videos on the Dark Web had swelled to over three thousand!
This towering tree had been uprooted, and the losses were incalculable!
Yun Hongfeng was frantic with anxiety, filled with boundless regret!
How had they ever provoked Jiangnan in the first place?
How had a good thing turned into a disaster?
If only they hadn't been so forceful at the start, they wouldn't have suffered this unwarranted calamity!
Even Yun Piao, who had been beaten half to death by Ye Zhenguo, was carried over by stretcher!
Yes... on a stretcher!
It was tough on the old man too—after enduring a day of beatings, he still had to come here to apologize...
And he was left waiting for Jiangnan all night!
At dawn, the door opened wide!
Instantly, countless hopeful gazes shot over like lightning.
Jiangnan stretched lazily and rubbed his bleary eyes.
Yun Fei couldn't hold back any longer and rushed straight over, her eyes red.
"Jiangnan, we were wrong! We shouldn't have driven Xia Yao away! We shouldn't have threatened your friends..."
Jiangnan glanced at her. "It has nothing to do with you."
Then he looked at Yun Lei, whose face was bruised and swollen.
Yun Lei gritted his teeth in hatred but could only lower his proud head.
He never imagined that one day he would have to bow his head to Jiangnan!
Wherever Jiangnan's gaze swept, all the Yun family members hung their heads.
Zhong Yingxue watched this scene, a deep shock in her eyes.
She never would have thought!
In just one day, things could turn out like this!
The once-dominant Yun family was now as miserable as a homeless dog.
Jiangnan walked straight over to the stretcher and said flatly, "Do you know you were wrong?"
Yun Piao struggled inwardly but still gritted his teeth. "Yes, I know!"
"What were you wrong about?"
"Shouldn't have bullied others with power! Shouldn't have been so arrogant!"
This time, Yun Piao finally understood why he had been beaten!
And he couldn't believe that Jiangnan had overturned the entire Yun family all by himself!
He was filled with regret!
If only he hadn't stuck his nose where it didn't belong, none of this would have happened.
Jiangnan: "I'm helping you here, you know?"
"If your Yun family keeps up this behavior, you'll be finished sooner or later!"
"So you should thank me, understand?"
Yun Piao: ???
Yun Hongfeng: !!!
You had someone beat my father senseless!
My wife was kidnapped five times in one day!
You blew up our home!
And now we're supposed to thank you?
What the hell!
You've got some nerve!
[From Yun Hongfeng's Resentment Value +1000!]
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Getting angry now?"
"Should I go back and take a nice nap first?"
Yun Hongfeng immediately knelt on the ground. "Thank you, Southern God, for teaching me how to be a man!"
If you go back to sleep again!
Our Yun family would be finished!
Seeing Yun Hongfeng kneel, a whole row of people knelt behind him. "Thank you, Southern God, for teaching us how to be a man!"
Yun Piao watched this scene, tears streaming down his old face.
Only then did Jiangnan nod in satisfaction. "Alright, then let's call it quits. Remember to fix the paperwork for me!"
Yun Hongfeng: "It's already been taken care of. You don't need to worry about it."
Jiangnan turned around.
Yun Fei's eyes were red, her lower lip bitten blue. She wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.
Jiangnan gave her a bright smile. "You're a pretty girl. Don't sell yourself short like that."
"In the future, find someone you like, someone who likes you back—that's the best way."
"The question is what you want to do, not what others want you to do."
"If you want something, go fight for it yourself."
At that moment, Yun Fei could no longer hold back her tears. She cried sorrowfully, wiping her eyes continuously.
"Wah... wah wah!"
From childhood to adulthood, Yun Fei had been taught to put the family's interests above everything else.
Her approach to Jiangnan this time had been arranged by her elders!
She wasn't opposed to it, but she hadn't resisted either.
It was the first time anyone had spoken to her like this, and for the first time, Yun Fei felt like she was living as a real person.
Watching Jiangnan's retreating figure, she couldn't help but ask, "Southern God... can we... still be friends in the future?"
Jiangnan turned back with a smile. "Well... it's not really that awkward."
Yun Fei was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face blushed.
"Pfft..."
Back in his room, Jiangnan pressed the Enter key!
He halted the task content, then sorted the applicants by their contributions as per the system!
Then he distributed the rewards from the prize pool. As promised, he gave Ye Zhenguo an extra Spiritual Cleansing Fruit.
All rewards were sent out via Northwest Express, scattering a wave of wealth!
He immediately bought a plane ticket to Hainan and headed straight for the airport.
The night breeze was cool, and waves lapped against the shore.
Xia Yao, wearing hot pants and a tank top, walked barefoot on the sand.
Leaving behind a long trail of footprints.
She held a can of beer in her hand, her eyes red, as if she had just been crying.
Her silver short hair fluttered in the wind. She lowered her head and used her little feet to draw circles in the sand.
"Hey!"
Xia Yao was startled and turned her head.
A dark shadow was tossed toward her, and she instinctively reached out to catch it.
Hmm? A helmet?
Confused, she looked up.
There was Jiangnan leaning on his Ducati Superleggera, a helmet tucked under one arm.
A brilliant smile on his face.
"Silly girl! I'm here to take you home!"
Xia Yao was stunned!
Tears could no longer be held back and poured from her eyes!
They fell like scattered pearls.
She didn't understand how Jiangnan had appeared here or how he had found her!
All she knew was that at the moment she most wanted to be with someone, that person appeared before her!
That was all that mattered!
Xia Yao threw down the helmet as she cried!
She ran toward Jiangnan without a second thought, throwing herself into his arms!
Grabbing his face, she kissed him on the lips without hesitation!
Jiangnan's eyes went wide! His whole body froze!
"Mmph~"
???
Jiangnan finally understood what it meant to be passionate as fire!
He was was being devoured by the Big Wolf Girl!
Hardcore devoured!
Wow! So forceful!
Xia Yao's body trembled slightly as she clung to Jiangnan like a koala!
Holding him tightly, unwilling to let go for even a moment!
"Boo hoo hoo... I miss you so much, I couldn't bear to leave you all..."
"I didn't want to leave either, but... but... boohoo... mmph!"
Xia Yao cried heartbreakingly in his arms, unable to speak properly.
Jiangnan wiped his mouth. "Alright, alright! Get on the bike! I'll take you home!"
Xia Yao rubbed her eyes. "Really? But what about the Yun family..."
"I've already taken care of it..."
On the Ducati Superleggera, Jiangnan revved the throttle and sped straight to the airport!
Xia Yao sat behind him, excitedly spreading her arms!
"Ahhh! Xiao Nan! I really, really like you!"
Jiangnan: "Liking is fine, but you still need to be safe on the bike. Remember to hold my waist!"
Xia Yao: !!!
"Hehe! Got it~"
