205: I was publicly humiliated; the clown was actually myself.
Facing the menacing approach of the Family guards, Shangguan Yan felt her whole body go cold.
She shielded Su Yuanshan closely at his bedside, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
In this wealthy estate, without strength, one can only be slaughtered at will.
"Let me see who dares to touch my daughter!"
Just as those rough hands were about to touch Shangguan Yan, a roar like a thunderclap suddenly exploded over the Su Family estate.
Boom!
A violent wave of Aura descended from the sky, ripping the tiles right off the roof.
Those aggressive guards were hit as if by a speeding truck; they flew backward while screaming, crashing heavily against the wall and vomiting blood.
Amidst the swirling dust, a figure as towering as a mountain landed heavily.
The newcomer's hair and beard stood on end, his body radiating a terrifying, suffocating pressure.
A Fourth-Tier Expert — — Shangguan Hong!
"Dad!"
Seeing who it was, Shangguan Yan's tightly wound nerves finally snapped; tears of grievance welled up in her eyes as she threw herself into her father's arms.
"Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
Shangguan Hong patted his daughter's back with heartache, then suddenly looked up, his tiger-like eyes filled with lethal intent as he locked onto Su Guoqiang and the others.
"Su Guoqiang, your Su Family certainly has a lot of prestige!"
"Taking advantage of my absence to bully the vulnerable, do you have any Face left?!"
Facing the anger of a Fourth-Tier Expert, Su Guoqiang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
How did this old man get here so quickly?
He cast a sinister glance at Doctor Meigu, who was secretly sending a message in the corner, and cursed inwardly.
"In-law, that's not the right way to put it."
Just then, the heavily made-up sister-in-law, Wang Chunhua, wiggled her waist and walked out.
Relying on the fact that this was Su Family territory and they had the numbers, she showed no fear; instead, her Face was full of spite.
"It is only natural to pay back debts."
"That pass was only specially approved for the Su Family by the Martial Artist Guild because of the Face of my husband, who is a deacon."
"Now that we want it back, what is wrong with that?"
She pointed at Shangguan Yan, spitting as she spoke.
"Don't tell me you think your good-for-nothing son-in-law, who only knows how to live off a woman, could have such great Face?"
"It's simply a joke!"
These words were like a thorn, piercing Shangguan Hong's heart.
Although he knew Qin Lang had some ability, it was truly hard to believe that he could make the Martial Artist Guild specially approve a permanent pass.
In this era that emphasizes background, Wang Chunhua's explanation was more plausible.
"Exactly! That belongs to our Su Family!"
Seeing Shangguan Hong silent, the rest of the Su Family relatives suddenly got excited and chimed in.
The Su Family head, Su Guodong, and Su Yuanshan's older brother, Su Yuanming, also appeared at this moment. They exchanged glances, seeing the greed and triumph in each other's eyes.
As long as it was confirmed that this pass was a resource of the Su Family, even Shangguan Hong would have nothing to say!
"Report — —!"
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a servant stumbled in with unconcealable ecstasy on his Face.
"Master! Commander Wang from the Martial Artist Guild is here to visit in person!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked.
Commander Wang? That is a Fifth-Tier powerful figure in charge of local security!
Su Yuanming and Wang Chunhua exchanged glances and were immediately overjoyed.
"Haha! Did you see that?"
Wang Chunhua pointed at Shangguan Hong, beside herself with triumph, her voice shrill and harsh.
"Commander Wang must have come because of my husband's Face!"
"Now let's see what else you have to say!"
She hurriedly adjusted her clothes, picked up a plate of precious spiritual fruits from the table, and walked out with a beaming smile.
"Quick! Follow me to welcome the distinguished guest!"
Su Guoqiang and the others were also energized, feeling this was the perfect opportunity to completely crush Shangguan Hong.
A moment later.
A middle-aged man in uniform with a profound Aura strode in.
It was indeed Commander Wang.
"Oh my, Commander Wang, your arrival truly makes our Su Family shine!"
Wang Chunhua fawned over him, holding the fruit plate high.
"This is what my husband specifically asked me to prepare for you..."
However.
Commander Wang acted as if he didn't see her at all, directly ignoring the plate of spiritual fruits and walking right past her.
Wang Chunhua's smile froze on her Face, and her hand holding the plate hung awkwardly in mid-air.
Commander Wang walked quickly to the hospital bed, looked at the unconscious Su Yuanshan, and frowned slightly.
"Is this Mr. Su Yuanshan?"
Although Shangguan Hong was puzzled, he nodded.
"That's right."
Commander Wang's expression turned serious, and he actually bowed slightly toward the bed.
"I was entrusted by Commander Xu in the Capital City to come and check on Mr. Su's injuries."
"Commander Xu?!"
Everyone present gasped.
That is a true high-ranking official of the Martial Artist Guild, a big shot below the Sixth Tier!
Su Guodong swallowed hard, forced a smile, and stepped forward.
"Commander Wang, how could we dare to trouble you with such a small matter? Actually..."
Before he could finish, he was coldly interrupted by Commander Wang.
"I'm not here to see you."
Commander Wang turned around, took a bottle emitting a rich Aura of life from his pocket, and carefully placed it on the bedside table.
"This is a miraculous healing medicine specially approved by Commander Xu; I hope it will be useful for Mr. Su."
"Besides..."
He scanned the surroundings, his gaze sharp as a knife, and finally landed on Wang Chunhua, who was still holding the fruit plate.
"I heard that someone said that permanent pass was given because of the Face of some deacon?"
Wang Chunhua's heart sank, and an ominous premonition welled up in her mind.
"Isn't... isn't that the case?"
She asked, biting the bullet.
"Heh."
Commander Wang let out a cold laugh filled with mockery.
In front of everyone, he said, word by word:
"What a huge joke!"
"A mere deacon, is he worthy of having the Guild specially approve such a strategic-level resource?"
"I might as well tell you all, this pass was for Mr. Su!"
Boom!
These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly stunning the Su Family members.
"Wh...what?!"
The smile on the Face of Su Yuanshan's older brother, Su Yuanming, instantly froze.
Wang Chunhua opened her mouth wide; her heavily powdered Face turned the color of pig liver, and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
It wasn't because of her husband's Face?
That hand began to tremble violently.
"Clatter!"
The exquisite fruit plate hit the ground, and the spiritual fruits rolled everywhere, smashed to pieces.
Just like their greedy, shattered dreams at this moment.
The whole room was dead silent.
Everyone looked at the couple, who seemed to be frozen in place, with eyes that looked at fools.
"Hahahaha!"
A hearty laugh broke the silence.
Shangguan Hong looked at the relatives who had been so arrogant just a moment ago but now looked like they were mourning the dead, laughing until tears almost came out.
"Is this what you called 'returning to the rightful owner'?"
"After all that, it turns out the clowns were yourselves!"
