Chapter 168: Send Off Cheng Yuan’s Entire Family
Cheng Yuan could feel the deep malice emanating from the three old men. He was absolutely certain—these men were here for revenge!
Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow, meticulously replaying his every move since getting out of prison. But he racked his brain and still couldn’t figure out where something had gone wrong.
Shen Youchu also sensed the presence. "Brother," she asked nervously, "I feel a very oppressive aura. Are they here for you? Should you hide?"
"Hide? How? Mom and Dad are both here. You stay hidden. I’m going out to see just who these guys are."
"I’ll go with you, Brother!"
...
Three families lived in Villa Number One.
The main building housed Cheng Yuan’s immediate family. The first auxiliary building was for his second aunt’s family, and the second auxiliary building was where his eldest uncle’s family lived while taking care of the old master.
It was eight o’clock at night, and the courtyard of Villa Number One was bustling with activity.
Cheng Yuan’s eldest maternal uncle, Wu Renqing, was playing Chinese chess with the old master under the Jujube Tree Immortal, while Cheng Hongbing and Cheng Yuan’s second uncle-in-law, Liu Zhengyun, watched from the side.
A few members of the younger generation were playing cards by the pool.
Wu Xiuli and her younger sister, Wu Xiuhua, were strolling on the lawn, catching up.
Suddenly, Wu Xiuhua saw three old men with an imposing presence walking toward them.
Wu Xiuhua asked politely, "Are you three gentlemen here to see the old master? He’s by the jujube tree playing chess."
Wang Yuanchen swept a cold glance over the people under the jujube tree and asked icily, "Is this Cheng Yuan’s home? Are you his family?"
"This is Xiaoyuan’s home. I’m his second aunt. And you are?"
"Is Cheng Yuan home? Tell him to come out and see us."
Wu Xiuhua was about to answer instinctively, but Wu Xiuli, standing beside her, sensed their ill intentions and gently tugged on her sleeve.
"Xiaoyuan is out. What do you need him for? His father is over there; you can talk to him if you need anything."
’Cheng Yuan’s father?’
Wang Yuanchen’s pupils constricted. ’Since Cheng Yuan isn’t home, I’ll just have to kill his father first!’
Wang Yuanchen strode toward the Jujube Tree Immortal and soon stood before the men.
The old master was well-liked in the neighborhood. Although he had only recently moved in, he had already made many old friends who often dropped by for a visit.
Cheng Hongbing and Wu Renqing naturally assumed these three old men were friends of the old master.
Cheng Hongbing greeted them warmly, "Ah, you’re here, gentlemen! Just a moment, I’ll go get some stools for you."
The old master looked up instinctively and couldn’t help but frown. "You three look a bit unfamiliar. Which building are you from, neighbors?"
Wang Yuanchen ignored the old master’s question and asked coldly, "Who is Cheng Yuan’s father?"
The men were clearly more wary than Wu Xiuhua. No one answered Wang Yuanchen’s question. Instead, Wu Renqing shot back, "Are you three neighbors? What business do you have with Xiaoyuan’s father? If you have no business here, please leave. This is a private residence!"
Wang Yuanchen laughed. "It doesn’t really matter if you answer my question, because I can just kill all of you! Second Brother, do it!"
"Yes, Eldest Brother!"
Wang Yuanchen’s second brother, Wang Yuanlang, struck out viciously, his hand shooting toward Wu Renqing’s throat!
An incredibly vicious gleam flashed in Wang Yuanlang’s eyes, as if he could already see Wu Renqing’s throat being crushed, his face contorted in agony!
Wang Yuanchen and his third brother, Wang Yuanfeng, watched with indifferent eyes, as if Wang Yuanlang were merely crushing a stinkbug.
Wang Yuanlang’s movements were too fast. The people around them had no time to react and could only watch passively as it all unfolded, unable even to cry out in alarm!
Wang Yuanlang’s large hand was like a striking viper! It was less than two centimeters from Wu Renqing’s throat!
Just as Wu Renqing was about to be brutally killed, a black shadow suddenly flashed past!
A jujube branch lashed out like a whip!
Wang Yuanlang’s attention was entirely focused on Wu Renqing; he never imagined that a jujube tree would suddenly attack!
What was even more unimaginable was that this tree possessed such immense power!
BANG!
The Jujube Tree Immortal’s branch struck Wang Yuanlang heavily. He let out a pained scream and was sent flying like a cannonball, landing in the swimming pool with a loud SPLASH!
The young people playing cards were startled. They stared blankly at the pool. The next moment, a huge splash erupted as Wang Yuanlang’s figure leaped out. He landed steadily on the edge of the pool, seeming to tread on the very splashes of water.
This scene left the young people completely stunned.
"Mister, are you filming a historical drama or something?"
Overcome with shame and fury, Wang Yuanlang roared at the young people, "Shut your mouths!"
Wang Yuanlang had infused his voice with True Essence, creating an effect similar to the Lion’s Roar. The young people clutched their heads in pain and were instantly knocked unconscious!
If these young people hadn’t all eaten the fruit of the Jujube Tree Immortal, which had greatly enhanced their physical constitution, they probably would have been killed by that shout!
In just a few leaps, Wang Yuanlang was back at Wang Yuanchen’s side. He stared warily at the Jujube Tree Immortal. "Eldest Brother, this jujube tree is strange! It must be a Spirit Plant!"
Wang Yuanchen waved his hand dismissively. "It’s fine. It’s just a Spirit Plant at the Quasi-Divine Realm. Nothing to worry about! Kill them all!~"
Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale. ’They’re going to kill people??’
Cheng Hongbing was the most responsible. He shouted, "Everyone, don’t be afraid! Get behind the Jujube Tree Immortal! It will protect us! Xiuhua, hurry and call the police! Xiuli, call Cheng Yuan and tell him to run!"
As if they had found their backbone, everyone scrambled to huddle beside the Jujube Tree Immortal, seeking its protection.
Wu Xiuhua and Wu Xiuli quickly pulled out their phones to make the calls, but both women suddenly realized their phones had no signal!
Wang Yuanfeng snorted coldly. "Our Wang Family controls the telecommunications in Dongnan Province. If you can make a call, we’ll count it as our loss! None of you are escaping today!"
Everyone’s faces paled again. This was an extermination!
The Cheng Family’s relatives descended into chaos. Only Cheng Hongbing remained relatively calm. In a grave voice, he asked, "Gentlemen, we’ve never met before, have we? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"
Wang Yuanchen snorted. "We have indeed never met. However, that little scoundrel Cheng Yuan caused the death of my sister, Wang Yuanju, and my nephew, Jin Tianxiang. The death of my grand-nephew, Jin Pengfei, is also inextricably linked to him."
When they heard the name Wang Yuanju, everyone looked completely baffled.
But when they heard the names Jin Tianxiang and Jin Pengfei, a light of immense hatred flashed in their eyes!
Especially in the eyes of Cheng Hongbing and Wu Xiuli!
"So you’re Jin Pengfei’s relatives? Jin Pengfei is the reason Xiaoyuan wrongfully spent two years in prison! We haven’t even come to settle the score with you yet, and you have the nerve to strike first, crying foul?"
"So Jin Pengfei is dead? Good riddance! It seems Heaven does have eyes!"
"That’s what they call ’the wicked get what they deserve’! Serves him right for dying! How satisfying!"
Wang Yuanchen was so furious he nearly ground his teeth to dust. "Such sharp tongues! Second Brother, Third Brother, attack together! We must send the entire Cheng Family on its way today!"
