39: Chapter 39 A Hot and Arrogant Beauty! Husband~

Yu Shuier's tear-filled eyes were locked onto the vial emitting an eerie blue light in Zhou Liangan's hand. Her pupils contracted due to extreme fear; the stubbornness and pride she had previously held onto were completely shattered at this moment.

Scalding tears fell like broken pearls, streaming down Yu Shuier's fair, delicate cheeks, leaving behind wet trails.

She roared with all her might, every word filled with heart-wrenching despair and hatred, piercing through the empty interrogation room, "You beast! Zhou Liangan, you heartless beast! You will not die a good death! Even if I turn into a vengeful ghost, I will never let you go!"

Zhou Liangan turned a deaf ear to her roaring, a cruel and playful smile always hanging on his face.

He ignored Yu Shuier's violent, almost spasmodic struggle. The alloy ropes chafed her skin until it turned red, and her slender wrists were already worn raw with blood, but he didn't care at all. He simply reached out and firmly grasped Yu Shuier's slender arm, his fingertips precisely finding that protruding vein...

Zhou Liangan stood to the side, taking in the sight of Yu Shuier, who had fallen from a proud young lady to a Puppet of desire. A curve of certain victory played on the corners of his mouth, and the sinister greed of a scheme fulfilled flashed in his eyes.

He wanted exactly this effect. The more painful Yu Shuier was, the richer the destiny points he could harvest. As for the woman's future, to him, it was nothing more than insignificant dust.

Meanwhile, in the rolling mountains, in a quiet and elegant bamboo courtyard, the atmosphere was heavy.

Liang Zichen stood in the center of the courtyard, his handsome face filled with regret, his brows tightly knitted, his complexion looking terrible to the extreme. His fists were clenched tight, and a suppressed baleful Qi radiated from his body.

Opposite him, a woman stood quietly.

The woman was dressed in a simple white dress, the hem trailing on the ground, her figure graceful and charming. Her sexy, devilish physique was perfectly outlined by the simple white dress, the curves of her front and back making one's heart tremble.

Yet, her face was pure and transcendent, her brows carrying a touch of cold detachment, like a Fairy from the Nine Heavens who had strayed into the mortal world. She was ethereal and refined, her temperament outstanding, perfectly blending purity and allure, so beautiful that one couldn't look away.

Liang Zichen's Junior Martial Uncle.

The pride of the Feng Family, Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing.

Liang Zichen took a deep breath, his tone filled with self-reproach, "Junior Martial Uncle, it's all my fault! I was too careless and underestimated the cunning and treachery of that bastard Zhou Liangan. Even more ridiculously, I overestimated that bitch's feelings for me. If I had noticed sooner, Yu Shuier wouldn't have fallen into that beast's hands!"

Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing frowned slightly, a faint coldness crossing her fair, delicate face. Her cold voice was like ice from a mountain stream, "Rest assured, you don't need to blame yourself too much for this. I have already contacted the Feng Family clansmen, and they will set off immediately for the Zhou Family to apply pressure. A mere secular Zhou Family is nothing but a clown, and Zhou Liangan is even less worth mentioning, not something to be feared."

Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing's words carried an innate nobility and confidence. As a direct descendant of the Feng Family, a top Hidden Family in the capital, she had enough confidence to say such things. In their eyes, a Family like the Zhou Family was something that could be manipulated at will.

Hearing this, the heavy stone in Liang Zichen's heart finally fell, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his tense shoulders slowly relaxing.

He looked up, his gaze fixed on the cold and peerless Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing, his tone filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle, for your help! It's just that for some reason, I have been feeling uneasy and restless. That beast Zhou Liangan is ruthless and definitely not a good person. I am truly worried that he will be driven to desperation and do something irreversible to Yu Shuier!"

At the thought of the situation Yu Shuier might be facing, the worry in Liang Zichen's heart surged like a tide, his eyes filled with anxiety.

A rich coldness instantly rose in Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing's clear, beautiful eyes, and the aura around her suddenly became piercingly cold.

She said in a cold voice, filled with unquestionable ruthlessness, "If he really dares to do anything improper to Yu Shuier, then he, Zhou Liangan, and the entire Zhou Family will be dead."

After saying this, Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing couldn't help but slowly clench her fair fists, her onion-white fingertips turning slightly pale. She sighed faintly, "Alas! If I hadn't accidentally suffered internal injuries while training some time ago and gone out to find medicine, which delayed me, this wouldn't have happened."

Seeing this, a look of genuine concern instantly appeared in Liang Zichen's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Then how is your injury now, Junior Martial Uncle? Is your body alright? Is there any major problem?"

He knew Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing's strength well; an injury that could make her care this much must definitely be significant.

Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing waved her hand casually, her tone indifferent, as if she didn't care at all, "It's nothing, just some external injuries. They will heal after a few days of rest, and it won't affect the important matters. You can rest assured and wait for news. With the Feng Family taking action, we will definitely be able to bring Yu Shuier back safely."

Liang Zichen nodded slightly, looking at Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing with concern, "If there is anything you need, Junior Martial Uncle, just say the word. Your nephew will definitely serve you, without a single word of complaint."

As soon as Liang Zichen said this, Martial Aunt Feng Nanqing nodded slightly, "You are quite thoughtful."

At the same time.

Outside the main gate of the Zhou Family's old residence, the atmosphere was completely different from that of the bamboo courtyard in the deep mountains.

A pitch-black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly, its body lines smooth and full of aura, stopping steadily in front of the carved main gate of the Zhou Family's old residence.

The car door opened slowly, and two tall, upright men stepped out one after another.

Both of them were wearing well-tailored high-end suits, their figures straight and their bearing extraordinary, but their faces carried undisguised disgust and contempt.

They scanned the layout of the Zhou Family's old residence. The carved beams and painted pillars were too complicated, everywhere revealing a sense of deliberately piled-up luxury, completely lacking the heritage and elegance of a top Family.

"It's truly ridiculous. This small Family in a remote place, even if they have money, only deserves this kind of nouveau riche style. It's tacky everywhere, and just looking at it makes one feel sick." Feng Kaiyu spoke first, his tone full of disdain, a mocking curve on the corner of his mouth, the contempt in his eyes undisguised.

Feng Xingxiu, who was beside him, immediately nodded solemnly and echoed in agreement, "If it weren't for our Little Aunt's special instructions for the two of us to make this trip in person, I really wouldn't bother to set foot in such a place. It simply dirties my eyes."

He spoke with an arrogant tone, his chin slightly raised, looking down on everything, not putting the Zhou Family in his eyes at all.

Feng Kaiyu nodded slightly, restraining the disgust on his face, his tone carrying a bit of seriousness, "Alright, complaints are complaints. Since it is a matter entrusted by our Little Aunt, we should handle it quickly and decisively to avoid long delays and any mistakes, so we won't be able to answer to our Little Aunt."

Hearing this, Feng Xingxiu immediately restrained his frivolous expression and nodded solemnly. He didn't say anything more. The two walked side by side toward the main gate of the Zhou Family's old residence, an arrogant aura of 'no strangers allowed' radiating from them.

The servants of the Feng Family had already gone inside to report their identities.

After only a moment, the Zhou Family Head brought a group of prominent core clansmen of the Zhou Family and hurried to the door to welcome them.

"So it is the distinguished guests from the Feng Family in the capital who have graced us with their presence. Forgive my lack of welcome, please come in!" Zhou Family Head said with a loud laugh.

Feng Kaiyu and Feng Xingxiu, however, had arrogant expressions. Facing Zhou Family Head's enthusiastic welcome, they only nodded faintly, not even a curve on the corners of their mouths. The indifference in their eyes was as if they were looking at an unimportant servant, not putting Zhou Family Head, the head of the Zhou Family, in their eyes at all.

Although Zhou Family Head was dissatisfied, he dared not show it at all. He could only suppress the displeasure in his heart, and with a face full of smiles, he led the Zhou Family members to usher the two into the reception hall in the residence.

After entering the reception hall, Feng Kaiyu and Feng Xingxiu were even less polite. They walked straight toward the main seat and sat down side by side without hesitation, their posture casual and arrogant, not treating themselves as guests at all.

The main seat was originally the position of Zhou Family Head. Their actions were undoubtedly a naked provocation and slight.

Zhou Family Head's complexion instantly became a bit ugly, a flash of anger in his eyes, but because of the other party's status as the Feng Family, he dared not act out in the end. He could only suppress the anger in his heart.

His heart was already drumming, wondering why these two young masters of the Feng Family had visited suddenly.

Feng Kaiyu seemed to perceive the dissatisfaction and endurance in Zhou Family Head's heart. He sneered, leaned back slightly, crossed his arms, and swept his gaze over Zhou Family Head with a condescending posture. His tone was cold, "You are the head of this generation of the Zhou Family, Zhou Family Head, right?"

Zhou Family Head hurriedly nodded slightly, squeezing out a respectful smile on his face, "Exactly, it is Zhou. I don't know what advice the two Feng young masters have for me?"

Feng Kaiyu curled his lips into a mocking sneer, his gaze as sharp as a knife, landing directly on Zhou Family Head, "Advice is not the word. I would like to ask you, do you know what a big disaster your precious son Zhou Liangan has caused? The person he kidnapped is someone who could uproot your entire Zhou Family and wipe it out just by moving a finger!"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhou Family Head's face instantly froze. His heart skipped a beat, and a foreboding premonition instantly swept through his whole body.

His complexion tightened slightly, and fine cold sweat instantly oozed from his forehead. He cursed angrily in his heart: This useless brat! He only knows how to cause trouble on weekdays. This time, he actually dared to cause such a big disaster, he is simply pushing the Zhou Family to a place of eternal damnation!

He pretended to be calm and asked carefully, "I haven't asked for the names of the two Feng young masters yet, so that I may know which distinguished guests have visited."

"Feng Kaiyu." Feng Kaiyu's tone was cold and concise, the aura around him becoming even more piercing.

"Feng Xingxiu." Feng Xingxiu also spoke arrogantly, his chin slightly raised, his eyes contemptuous, not putting Zhou Family Head in his eyes at all.

Upon learning their identities, the unease in Zhou Family Head's heart became even stronger, and he hurriedly asked, "Two Feng young masters, I implore you to clarify, who exactly did my rebellious son kidnap? To make the two of you come here in person so solemnly?"

Feng Xingxiu sneered, his tone carrying a bit of mockery, and slowly spat out a few words, "The Hidden Family Yu Family, you should have heard of it, right?"

As the head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Family Head had been mixing in the upper circles for many years and naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people could not touch.

These Hidden Families seemed to be isolated from the world, but in fact, they had already secretly laid out plans in the secular world, and their power was unimaginably huge. Take this Yu Family, for example, they secretly controlled several huge international investment banks, their financial resources were sky-high, and their power was intertwined, definitely not something their secular Family could provoke.

Thinking that his son had actually kidnapped someone from the Yu Family, Zhou Family Head's pupils contracted sharply, and his face instantly turned pale.

He never expected that Zhou Liangan would cause such a monstrous disaster for him!

"Two... is what you two said true?" Zhou Family Head's voice carried an irrepressible trembling, his tone full of disbelief and panic, and his legs felt a little weak.

Feng Kaiyu and Feng Xingxiu looked at each other and sneered aloud, their gazes sweeping casually over the panicked Zhou Family Head, "Do you think we two traveled all the way from the capital just to joke with you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Family Head hurriedly shook his head repeatedly, "I dare not, I dare not. You two are joking. I naturally know that you two are not speaking in jest. It was my slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

His heart was already in a mess. At this moment, his mind was full of how to appease the anger of the Yu Family and save the Zhou Family.

Feng Xingxiu's face showed some impatience, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes swept coldly over Zhou Family Head, his tone urgent and severe, "Stop talking nonsense! Our purpose for coming here this time is clear. Hand over the Yu Family's Young Miss immediately, do you understand? If you delay the important matter, the consequences are not something your Zhou Family can afford!"

Zhou Family Head did not dare to delay for even a moment. He hurriedly nodded repeatedly and turned to order the butler behind him sternly, "Butler! Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and call that rebellious son! Tell him to send the Yu Family's Young Miss over immediately. If he dares to delay even a little, see if I don't break his legs!"

Zhou Family Head's tone was urgent, carrying irrepressible anger and panic.

Seeing this, the butler also knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly nodded heavily, respectfully responding, "Yes! Head of the Family, I will go make the call right away and contact the Young Master immediately!"

At this moment, inside the villa on the hillside in the suburbs.

In the gloomy interrogation room.

Yu Shuier had already lost her previous stubbornness and hatred. She looked at Zhou Liangan with a pair of tender, beautiful eyes.

"Darling~"
