Chapter 733: The Fairy Who Strayed Into the Mortal World
Kong Lingwen remained silent. She walked straight to the parlor, placed Kong Jingshan’s head into the coffin, and then sat to the side, silently shedding tears.
"Lin Wen, let’s bury Uncle Kong as soon as possible."
Yang Cheng spoke softly.
Kong Lingwen raised her eyes to look at him, and finally couldn’t help but ask, "Yang Cheng, the secret that killed my father is the one you’ve always wanted to know, right?"
"Two years ago, my father knew about it, but he didn’t dare to speak out. The Kong Family remained unharmed. But since you came to Zhonghai, the Kong Family has been targeted, and my father was also killed."
At this moment, Elder Kong and Kong Lingchuan also walked in, and their faces looked very distressed upon hearing this.
"Lin Wen, what secret are you talking about? What happened exactly?"
Elder Kong asked tremulously.
Kong Lingwen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and slowly began to speak, "Years ago, my father acquired Yan’s Hall from Yang Feng, and then Yang Feng disappeared. Yang Cheng is Yang Feng’s son. He wanted to know why Yang Feng disappeared, so he approached my father."
"My father said the secret would threaten the Kong Family, so he asked Yang Cheng to help him deal with the Cao Family, to eliminate the trouble before he could reveal it. But I didn’t expect the secret to become his death sentence!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Lingchuan and Elder Kong’s eyes all fell on Yang Cheng.
For the first time, Yang Cheng felt at a loss. He was already feeling guilty for not being able to save Kong Jingshan in time, not expecting the source of trouble to be exactly that secret.
"Sorry, I didn’t expect that secret to kill Uncle Kong."
His throat was a bit sore, and he lowered his head like a child who had done wrong, his heart churned with emotion.
All three were silent. They knew they couldn’t blame Yang Cheng, but they couldn’t find any words of comfort either.
The atmosphere became awkward for a while, and Yang Cheng felt like he had a bone stuck in his throat. He spoke with difficulty, "I still have things to deal with, so I’ll leave first."
After saying that, he rushed out of the parlor as if escaping. Kong Lingwen moved her lips, wanting to call him back, but ultimately didn’t speak.
"Brother Cen, where are you going? I’ll go with you."
Seeing Yang Cheng rush out, Gao Peng hurriedly went up to meet him, and Cheng Ruonan also looked at him worriedly.
"I want to be alone for a while. You all stay with the Kong Family; it’s safe here."
He was able to confirm that the crisis of the Kong Family was over because from the beginning, the person they wanted to kill was Kong Jingshan. As long as that secret didn’t get out, there was no reason for the others to go against the Kong Family.
"Hey!"
Cheng Ruonan had just rushed out the door when she saw Yang Cheng driving away quickly.
Yang Cheng’s eyes were red, his emotions were churning. He didn’t have that deep of a feeling for Kong Jingshan, but the reproachful gaze of Kong Lingwen felt like a thorn in his heart.
He drove to the largest bar in Zhonghai City, walking heavily inside, with the noisy music at his ears, and the air saturated with the strong smell of perfume and alcohol.
Usually, Yang Cheng seldom drank, only having a couple of drinks during gatherings, but today he wanted to get thoroughly drunk.
The table was filled with alcohol, and he lowered his head, drinking a few glasses quickly.
"Oh!!"
At that moment, a cheer erupted around him as a tall, curvaceous woman slowly took the stage. She wore an ultra-short tight skirt, a belly-baring tank top, highlighting her slender waist and full hips, with a voluptuous bust.
She walked up the stage in high heels, full of allure. Her long legs particularly slender, slightly raised, hooked onto the central pole, striking a classic pose.
The stage was bathed in warm yellow light, making her jet-black hair shimmer and her skin as creamy and smooth as butter. She appeared like a fairy mistakenly entering the human world, swaying with the music and performing many difficult and seductive dance moves.
The cheers from below almost lifted the roof, with everyone so excited, stretching out their hands trying to touch her, knowing it wasn’t possible, yet still longing to be closer.
Her movements were so enchanting and seductive but didn’t seem vulgar, and both men and women were mesmerized by the woman on stage.
Yang Cheng naturally saw this scene too, but felt no mood to appreciate it. After a glance, he continued to drink with his head lowered.
After the dance ended, the woman elegantly walked off the stage, her long swan neck still with tiny beads of sweat, making her even more alluring.
"Hey beautiful, can I have your contact information?"
"Do you have a boyfriend? I wonder if I’m lucky enough to pursue you."
Many men stepped forward to hit on her, but she rejected them with a gentle smile.
Everyone understood such exquisite women were mostly prideful, although disappointed, they were relieved the goddess chose no one.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, they saw the goddess walk over to a spot, sitting opposite a young man.
"Yang Cheng, why are you here alone?"
The woman spoke softly, resting her chin on one hand, looking at him with a smile.
Yang Cheng slowly raised his eyes to meet a familiar face, it was Wang Rui, a patient he had treated in the hospital before, also Qian Qian’s cousin.
He had only glanced at the woman on stage earlier, not looking carefully, didn’t expect to encounter her by chance.
"It’s you, I’m here for a drink."
"You seem unhappy. Did something upsetting happen?"
Wang Rui asked gently, like a close sister.
"Nothing much."
Yang Cheng couldn’t speak much to someone he wasn’t close with, so he casually changed the subject, "You coming to a bar this late by yourself isn’t safe."
"It’s fine, a good friend owns this place, and I never drink here."
Wang Rui gave a charming smile, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear flirtatiously.
Not far away, a group of men were dumbfounded seeing this, not expecting Wang Rui, uninterested in them, to engage with a seemingly poor kid voluntarily.
"Damn! How are we inferior to that kid? I can’t swallow this; I must go and find out their relationship!"
The leading young master strode over, the rest quickly following, confronting Yang Cheng aggressively.
"Kid, who do you think you are, daring to steal my woman?"
His tone was arrogant, his gaze full of disdain.
Wang Rui frowned, displeased, "Young Master Gong, you must be mistaken, I’m not your woman."
"Wang Rui, what do you mean? I’ve been pursuing you for so long without a response, and now you’re drinking with this poor kid?"
Gong Yu’s face turned grim, gritting his teeth to question.
Being the eldest son of the Gong Family, what kind of woman he couldn’t get, yet Wang Rui never gave in after so long.
Know that he had poisoned himself at the Kong Family’s hotel before because he knew Wang Rui was staying, hoping to catch some advantage by proximity.
In the end, he didn’t see her and inexplicably got poisoned, almost losing his life.
