Chapter 159: This is the Last Time
"Tong Jianzhou!" Qin Hu's eyes filled with blood, stared fiercely at Tong Jianzhou, wishing he could charge over and bite him to death.
Tong Jianzhou glanced at him disdainfully, not taking him seriously at all.
"For doing such despicable deeds, worse than pigs and dogs, even cursing you is letting you off lightly." Tong Yunshu glared at Tong Jianzhou, growing more and more furious, and raised her hand to slap him.
Tong Jianzhou quickly leaned back, dodging while catching Tong Yunshu's wrist.
He wore an annoying smile on his face and chuckled, "Sister, this is where you're wrong. I came here with good intentions to see you, so why would you hit me?"
"Let go of me!" Tong Yunshu said angrily.
Tong Jianzhou released her hand.
Tong Yunshu glared at him vehemently, fury filling her gaze, "I know you're worried I'll snatch away your future heir status. I didn't expect you to stoop so low. Tong Jianzhou, let me tell you now, I'm determined to fight for the position of the Tong family's future helmsman!"
Although Tong Jianzhou still wore a smile upon hearing this, a cold and sharp glint flashed into his eyes, "Sister, you are a woman; sooner or later you will marry and leave. Why bother with all this?"
"Yes, I used to think the same way, so I've always indulged you. But this time, you've gone too far. Someone with malicious intent like you isn't worthy to be the leader of the Tong Family. You will only ruin our future."
Tong Jianzhou chuckled, "You underestimate me. Cousin, coming from the Tong family, not an ordinary household, you should know how cruel this world can be. Incidents like the one last night may happen again, and next time, you might not be so lucky."
Tong Yunshu trembled with rage, her complexion turning pale.
Was this still the cousin she knew?
This must be his true face, now that all pretenses had been discarded.
Tong Jianzhou ignored Tong Yunshu and turned to look at Yang Fei, saying with a smile, "So you're Yang Fei?"
Yang Fei nodded, "I am."
"You remember Li Biao, who died at your hands not long ago?" asked Tong Jianzhou.
Yang Fei smiled slightly, "What, you want justice for him?"
Tong Jianzhou chuckled, "Li Biao was just a dog that worked for me, his death means nothing. However, there's a saying, 'When you beat a dog, you should look at its owner.' By killing him, you've made me lose face."
Yang Fei asked with a smile, "So what now?"
Tong Jianzhou pointed at Qin Hu, "Li Biao met his end in his territory. I was very angry yesterday, so I broke his limbs. But I didn't expect that today, you would heal him. This is the second time you've slapped my face."
Yang Fei was somewhat impressed by his logic and laughed, "This is slapping your face?"
Tong Jianzhou gave a carefree laugh and said, "I'm a very magnanimous person. You were ignorant before, and my cousin has been protecting you, so let's forget those past events. I hear you're quite capable, and even the withdrawal of the Situ family from Binhai seems to be your doing. It looks like you also have a more than ordinary relationship with Dragon and Tiger Hall."
Towards the end, his smiling expression became serious, and two sharp beams shot from his eyes as he stared at Yang Fei, "But in this world, there truly are many capable people, and you're not the only one. Also, there are many people you can't afford to provoke.
If it hadn't been for my Tong family stepping in, the Martial Alliance would have suppressed you by now. And just as my Tong family could get the Martial Alliance to let you go, we can also have them suppress you again. So remember your place and don't meddle in things that don't concern you. Do you understand?"
"Are you teaching me how to conduct my affairs?" Yang Fei chuckled lightly, looking at him.
Tong Jianzhou laughed heartily and said, "No, I'm just kindly reminding you. In fact, I would very much like to become friends with Mr. Yang. My Third Grandpa has mentioned that Mr. Yang is a remarkable young talent. I wonder if Tong Jianzhou would have the honor to be your friend?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "You're not worthy."
Tong Jianzhou's pupils constricted as he stared coldly at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei didn't even spare him a glance and said indifferently, "This is a medical clinic, a place for healing and saving lives. If you're looking to get yourself killed, I suggest you find another place for it."
"Hahaha, Dr. Yang is right; Tong Jianzhou, if you're looking to get yourself killed, I suggest you find another place, don't dirty this clinic," a bright and hearty laugh came from the side.
It was Zhu Chengpeng who had just finished picking up medicine and returned.
Suddenly, a wild and ferocious aura emanated from him as he took large strides toward Tong Jianzhou. Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (M-VL-EMP-YR).
Tong Jianzhou's pupils shrank, feeling the terrifying pressure, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but stagger backwards.
The next moment, from among the crowd that had followed Tong Jianzhou, several people stepped forward together, with two of them looking particularly solemn and wary as they stared at Zhu Chengpeng.
Zhu Chengpeng was slightly startled and gave those two a surprised glance.
He was one of the outstanding figures of the second generation of the Zhu family, and his cultivation had entered the Energy Transformation Realm, making him an expert at the Energy Transformation Realm Fourth Grade.
Yet at this moment, he felt a certain threat emanating from the two people behind Tong Jianzhou.
He was secretly alarmed.
The Tong family only had Tong Yan, a fierce individual at the Late Stage Energy Transformation Third Rank; there was no mention of anyone else reaching the Energy Transformation Realm.
So why were there two such individuals accompanying Tong Jianzhou now?
Could it be that Tong Jianzhou had collaborated with a powerful Martial Arts Family?
But even so, sending two Energy Transformation Realm experts to protect Tong Jianzhou seemed excessive.
It is known that although there are many martial artists in China, Inner Strength is a high threshold, and the Energy Transformation Realm is an even greater chasm that ninety-nine percent of martial arts practitioners cannot cross.
The Zhu family has extraordinary strength, but because they lack a National Guardian Level powerhouse, they have to be considered a second-tier Ancient Martial Family.
And there are no more than ten second-tier Ancient Martial Families in the country; even counting the capabilities of the Chinese abroad, there are not more than thirty.
Within the Zhu family, including Zhu Chengpeng's father, Zhu Tianshou, there are only three Energy Transformation Realm experts.
Yet now, Tong Jianzhou has two Energy Transformation practitioners by his side.
Even though Zhu Chengpeng was not the brightest, he realized something was amiss.
No wonder Tong Jianzhou was acting so arrogantly this time; it seemed he had found strong external support.
On the other side, feeling much relieved after being safeguarded by several experts, Tong Jianzhou looked at Zhu Chengpeng and smiled after a moment of thought, "So, my Fourth Uncle is here too. Hehe, with Fourth Uncle present, my cousin should be safe. I was worried about her and wanted to bring her home for protection, but it seems now I was being meddlesome."
"Hmph, many things are done by man, but watched by heaven. Tong Jianzhou, you better not let me catch any evidence against you, or my Zhu family, even if we have to cause a commotion at the Tong family's doorstep, will certainly seek justice for Yun Shu," Zhu Chengpeng said coldly.
Tong Jianzhou thought for a moment, nodded at Zhu Chengpeng, then gave Tong Yunshu and Yang Fei a faint smile, and said, "Since my cousin has protection, then I shall take my leave. Everyone, remember well what I said. Goodbye!"
His arrival was sudden, and his departure was swift.
After Tong Jianzhou and his group left, Yang Fei looked at Tong Yunshu and asked, "If I killed him, would the Tong family come after me?"
Tong Yunshu's eyes lit up as she looked at Yang Fei and said, "Who are you referring to?"
Yang Fei said, "Although your grandfather is the head of your family, the real decision-makers are still your Third Grandpa, right? If I were to kill a member of the Tong family, what would the two seniors do?"
Tong Yunshu fell silent.
Yang Fei chuckled and said, "In consideration of the last time the two seniors from the Tong family helped me, I'll spare his life today. Please relay a message to your two elders from me; this is the last time."
Tong Yunshu understood that his 'last time' referred to Tong Jianzhou's provocation today.
"Alright, I will definitely convey your message," Tong Yunshu said as she nodded.
