73: Beautiful stepmother, I can’t help it!

They were just cannon fodder, even if their performance proved their loyalty.

But so what? Gaining the loyalty of cannon fodder only meant he gained loyal cannon fodder.

What is the purpose of cannon fodder? Isn't it just to die?

Regardless of loyalty, as long as their death is valuable, then sacrifice them.

The deaths of these intelligence gatherers did not stir a single ripple in Feng Zhe's heart.

But for Chen De, it was different. Who was Chen De? The kindest and most moral person in the entire world.

Seeing several lives die so painfully, this feeling, others would not understand.

For a moral person like Chen De, all lives in the world were his family, his relatives.

Forget about a few people dying; even an ant, a flower, or a blade of grass, Chen De's heart would ache as if it were being twisted by a knife!

But what could Chen De do? Faced with all this, Chen De could only force a smile.

So, Chen De forced a smile in his heart.

After confirming the authenticity of the brought-back news, Feng Zhe waved his hand, "Someone!"

"Here!"

The Tianfeng City Lord's Residence guards entered upon receiving the order.

Feng Zhe pointed at the bodies on the ground, "Take these corpses on the ground and dispose of them somewhere.

Also, bring that slut up to me."

After receiving the order, the guards carried the bodies out of the room.

Not long after, several guards brought up Feng Zhe's concubine.

At this moment, the concubine was still shouting, mocking Feng Zhe, "What, Feng Zhe, you hypocrite, regretting it now, aren't you?"

"Hahahahaha!"

With disheveled hair, the concubine opened her mouth and laughed loudly, looking at Feng Zhe with some pity,

"I'm telling you, if you want me to forgive you now, eight sedan chairs won't be enough. I also want you to personally carry the sedan chair and take me to the Mo Residence to apologize."

"Not only that, you also have to give up half of the treasury of your Tianfeng City Lord's Residence.

Otherwise, I'm not done with you!

And in the future, don't expect my Mo Xuancang to help you deal with the Silver Scale Rhino King."

"Damn it, you scoundrel, you slut!"

Feng Zhe just watched her silently, not even waiting for him to speak.

Chen De, who was standing by, couldn't hold back. He stepped forward quickly and slapped her several times, seemingly stunning her.

Seeing his son so sensible, knowing to vent his anger for his father, Feng Zhe was somewhat moved.

"I can't take it anymore, I'll kill you!"

Feng Zhe's expression changed, "Wait!"

However, he spoke too late. Chen De had already drawn his knife, lashed out in anger, and struck the concubine's neck, killing her on the spot.

"Feng Rin, you, oh you, you're too impulsive.

Don't you know that cutting off her head in the room will spray blood everywhere?"

Feng Zhe scolded, somewhat disappointed.

Chen De heard his father's reprimand but silently lowered his head, explaining in a wronged tone, "I just couldn't bear to see her insult Father like that.

Father, you may be willing to suffer humiliation, but I, your son, am not!

Tell me, what child in the world can stand by and watch their parents be humiliated in front of them?"

"Your son just, your son just didn't want Father to be wronged!"

As he spoke, Chen De even started to cry pitifully.

Hearing Chen De say this, deep guilt arose in Feng Zhe's heart. Had his words just now been too harsh?

Just as he was about to say something, Chen De suddenly looked up.

It turned out Chen De was already in tears, crying uncontrollably, staring at Feng Zhe with a wronged expression.

"Sigh, never mind, never mind. I didn't mean to blame you. You did well, you did very well. I'm so happy."

Helpless, Feng Zhe could only comfort Chen De.

Chen De immediately beamed with joy, but then remembered something and turned his head away again.

"What's wrong now?"

Seeing Chen De's changing expression, Feng Zhe asked doubtfully.

"Father, you're not even smiling, and you say you're happy. It seems you're really lying to me."

Ah!

Alright, you want me to smile, right? Then I'll smile for you.

So, Feng Zhe put on a smiling expression.

After seeing it, Chen De shouted loudly,

"No, no, Father, your smile isn't sincere at all. You look worse when you smile than when you cry.

There's no genuine smile from the heart. It seems I still did something wrong. Father, you're actually still blaming me in your heart."

The more he spoke, the more wronged Chen De felt, his eyes red, on the verge of crying again.

Seeing this, Feng Zhe suddenly felt a headache.

Is this his biological son?

This was clearly his living father!

Alright, you want a smile, and you want it to be from the heart, right?

Feng Zhe tried his best to calm his emotions, then gave Chen De a genuine smile.

"That's more like it!"

Chen De finally smiled and gave Feng Zhe a tight hug.

Looking at Chen De now, Feng Zhe was very helpless, yet he had no choice.

What could he do? He was his biological son after all.

Even if he had given birth to a pile of shit, he would have to raise it well!

Feng Zhe then turned to look at the concubine's head on the ground. Chen De naturally noticed this.

So he asked, "What's wrong, Father? Are you still thinking about her?"

Feng Zhe slowly shook his head, "No, it's not that. I was thinking of questioning her further to see if there were any more details, anything I didn't know.

Moreover, keeping her alive would be evidence and a reason, a legitimate reason to act against the Mo family."

After hearing this, Chen De again looked wronged, "So, Father, are you still blaming me? Did I delay Father from destroying the Mo family?"

"No, no!"

Feng Zhe immediately begged for mercy. He knew how difficult Chen De was to appease, and he didn't want to go through it again.

"Feng Rin, don't overthink it. In fact, even without your stepmother's incident, I had already wanted to destroy the Mo family."

Chen De nodded. He had known this for a long time; Feng Zhe had told him before.

Seeing his son finally calm down, Feng Zhe also breathed a sigh of relief, "It can be said that as soon as the news of the Silver Scale Rhino King's demise comes back, I will act against the Mo family.

So Feng Rin, rest assured, it has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, Chen De seemed to understand something and felt a little guilty, "But, but if I hadn't acted, wouldn't Father's actions have been more justified?"

"It's alright, it's alright. The things the Mo family has done over the years are enough to wipe them out several times over."

"In this Tianfeng City, who can do anything and hide it from the eyes of my Tianfeng City Lord's Residence?"

"The evidence my Tianfeng City Lord's Residence currently holds is enough to deal with them."

"Having living evidence just makes things a bit more convenient, serving as icing on the cake!"

"Understood, Father!"

Chen De's weak voice sounded.

Feng Zhe comforted his son while analyzing the situation for him.

He suddenly turned to look in the direction of the Mo family, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
