Chapter 506: Could No Longer Be A Man
Tang Yifeng’s face darkened on the spot when he heard Su Wan screaming at the top of her lungs.
He turned around and hung up the phone. His cold eyes locked onto Su Wan who was tied to a tree.
Her plain white dress melted under the moonlight. A faint light shone on Su Wan’s frightened and stubborn face, giving her a contradictory temperament.
She looked very weak, but she seemed to be hiding unimaginable energy.
At this moment, Tang Yifeng suddenly understood why Jiang Xuecheng liked her.
Su Wan was a little frightened by Tang Yifeng’s gaze. She bit her lips tightly, and she had no doubt that the furious Tang Yifeng would come over and slap her directly.
No one spoke, and only the chirping of summer insects could be heard in the air. Such a strange silence made Su Wan feel an indescribable fear in her heart.
To Su Wan’s surprise, Tang Yifeng did not do that. Instead, he glanced at her indifferently and then shifted his gaze to the lavender field at the foot of the mountain.
“Your man will be here in ten minutes. Sis Wan, let me tell you a story.”
Tang Yifeng stood with his hands behind his back. This man, who had always been laughing and joking, was now indescribably cold and desolate.
Su Wan gulped. Her life was now in Tang Yifeng’s hands. It was better to cooperate with him.
“Speak, I’ll listen.”
Su Wan stared at Tang Yifeng’s back without blinking. Her voice was very soft, for fear of angering him.
“Sis Wan, do you know Zheng Yaoxuan?”
As he spoke, Tang Yifeng raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the sky that was somewhat dim.
Zheng, Yao, Xuan?
Upon hearing this, Su Wan’s expression froze. Although she had never taken the initiative to inquire about political affairs, this name was really well-known. Even after so many years, she would occasionally hear a few people mention it after dinner.
Why would tang Yifeng suddenly bring up these old matters?
However, the old matter from more than ten years ago had caused such a big stir. Although Su Wan was still very young at that time, it was still difficult for her to forget it.
Zheng Yaoxuan was once a prominent figure in Jiuzhou, and he was well known for his integrity. Later on, there were people who speculated that he would sooner or later sit on the highest position in Jiuzhou.
However, just as the public opinion turned towards Zheng Yaoxuan, he was suddenly exposed in a large number of negative reports.
It was said that Zheng Yaoxuan used the name of integrity to amass wealth. The so-called loving the people like children was just a gimmick. He disregarded the law and regulations and suppressed a serious case that caused hundreds of deaths back then.
What was even more unexpected was that the reason why Zheng Yaoxuan’s career was so smooth was because he had early connections with foreign organizations and sold secrets of Jiuzhou to other countries!
No one in the Zheng family was involved in business, but Zheng Yaoxuan’s assets overseas reached a jaw-dropping number!
When these news came out, Jiuzhou was at once in turmoil. Zheng Yaoxuan went from a great hero that everyone praised to a street rat that everyone shouted at and beat.
That’s right. After Zheng Yaoxuan was overthrown that year, the person who took over the lead seat was Jiang Zhiyuan, the Jiang family’s senior master.
Judging from Tang Yifeng’s tone, it was likely that his relationship with Zheng Yaoxuan was not ordinary, right?
Could it be that he was a direct relative?
Su Wan only knew that Zheng Yaoxuan was executed at that time, but as for what happened to Zheng Yaoxuan’s family, she did not know in detail.
Su Wan suppressed the fear in her heart. She took a deep breath and asked softly.
“Are you Zheng Yaoxuan’s grandson?”
Judging by his age, this was the closest guess.
In her heart, that is what she thought.
Suddenly, Tang Yifeng, who had his back facing Su Wan, turned his head away. He looked at Su Wan deeply, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Ha, you’re not too stupid.”
Tang Yifeng flicked his gray sleeves and walked closer to Su Wan. His cold eyes were like a venomous snake, exuding a bone-piercing venom.
“Aren’t you curious why I didn’t accept Lu Xiao? That’s right, I do like Lu Xiao a little.”
Su Wan widened her eyes. She had never said this before, but was her expression that obvious?
Hearing the second half of Tang Yifeng’s sentence, Su Wan nodded her head, thinking that she could still use emotion and reason to pull Tang Yifeng back onto the right path.
“Brother Tang, everyone says that a disaster should not affect the wife and children, not to mention that you are Zheng Yaoxuan’s grandson. He deserves it, but that has nothing to do with you. You are still so young, why don’t you put aside your hatred and walk towards a better future?”
Tang Yifeng sneered when he heard that and grabbed Su Wan’s neck.
Su Wan didn’t expect Tang Yifeng to fall out with her just like that. He was fine just now, but she didn’t understand why Tang Yifeng was like a firecracker that had just been set on fire. It was extremely terrifying.
Seeing that Su Wan couldn’t speak anymore, her beautiful face was also suffused with a sickly purple-red color. Tang Yifeng snorted coldly and let go of Su Wan before she was about to suffocate.
“Future? Will a person like me have a future? It’s the Jiang family who ruined my life!”
Tang Yifeng’s face was red with anger. He stepped on the soil on the ground and suddenly picked up a stone and threw it down the cliff.
After throwing the stone down, Tang Yifeng gasped for breath in pain and gradually regained his calm.
“Do you know what it feels like to realise that you can’t ever be a man for the rest of your life when you’re still in your teens?”
Tang Yifeng’s slightly hoarse voice entered Su Wan’s ears and made her shudder!
What did he mean by being unable to be a man for the rest of his life?!
What kind of era was this? Surely no one would castrate Tang Yifeng?
Su Wan looked at him in a daze. Other than disbelief, she still couldn’t believe it. Because of her strange thoughts, her forehead twitched twice again.
Tang Yifeng’s peach blossom-like eyes slightly narrowed. At this moment, he no longer gave a warm or mischievous feeling. Only a full, indescribable coldness and indifference.
Two days before Zheng Yaoxuan’s matter was made public, the people in the Zheng family heard the news and quickly prepared to transfer their assets, preparing to flee with the money.
What a tragic disaster that was!
They had just escaped out of Jiuzhou when they were intercepted. At that time, Tang Yifeng and his parents were on a highway in Haicheng, and finally, the car fell into the sea with them.
None of Tang Yifeng’s parents survived, and only the young Tang Yifeng survived. However, because of the car accident, his body was greatly injured, and he could no longer be humane in this life.
In the end, only Zheng Yaoxuan’s family members were reported missing after falling into the sea. After many days of searching, they weren’t found.
However, Tang Yifeng did not die. It was an organization of the Dong Chen Country that saved him and helped him prepare his new identity, sending him back to Jiuzhou to be raised.
…
Tang Yifeng indifferently spoke of the past events from more than ten years ago. His voice was indifferent and cold, as if he was merely stating a simple matter.
But his hands were tightly clenched.
