Chapter 22: Chapter 22: I Shall Destroy It Someday_1

Everyone was petrified, or rather, didn’t dare to keep thinking further!

After all, the Daxia War Department was the most supreme power in all of Daxia and a symbol of Daxia’s majesty!

They defended their territories and protected the long-lasting peace and stability of Daxia.

It’s just like the widely known saying: Those who offend Daxia, even if far away, shall be pursued and annihilated!

Therefore, the people of Daxia have always respected the War Department; the warriors who emerged from it naturally rose in status and commanded respect, and no one dared to provoke them!

These were the heroes at the forefront, after all, who resisted the external enemies!

And what about Su Qingyu?

To put it unpleasantly, she was nothing more than a wilful person from some small place, so what was she worth?

Not to mention the so-called renowned individuals present, whose status didn’t even compare to that of Su Qingyu...

At that moment, everyone became as silent as cicadas in winter, and those who were a bit closer to Ye Fei dared not even breathe too loudly!

Meanwhile, the Su family watched Ye Fei’s retreating figure with disbelieving eyes.

For some reason, that figure seemed incredibly imposing at that moment...

Ye Fei was indifferent to this.

He merely smiled faintly at Wang Jianglong, "You see what needs to be done."

His words were casual.

But Wang Jianglong’s pupils dilated in an instant.

"Bring me that wretched woman! Tie her up; I want to execute her with my own hands!"

"Yes!"

At the command, several warriors pounced on Su Qingyu and pinned her to the ground.

The onlookers who had been taking pleasure in the misfortune just a moment ago now fell silent, as if shocked by the cold.

Servants and bodyguards too were terrified and hastily moved aside, not daring to utter a sound.

As for Su Qingyu, who had been extremely arrogant just a few minutes before, she was now pale as paper, trembling uncontrollably.

"It’s a misunderstanding! Commander Wang, this must be a misunderstanding! Don’t kill me!"

"Your mother’s misunderstanding!"

Slap, slap, slap!

Wang Jianglong stepped forward and slapped her several times.

One could imagine how heavy the hand that could kill might be.

Everyone watched as Su Qingyu’s handsome face swelled into an unrecognizable mess within seconds, several teeth flying out, a sight too wretched to bear.

"How dare you disrespect my brother Ye! Did you not consider the gun in my hand!"

Wang Jianglong pressed the gun barrel against Su Qingyu’s forehead.

At that, she soiled herself in fear.

She knew all too well that her identity as the young lady of the Su family was worthless in the eyes of the War Department and couldn’t provide any protection.

Her gaze fell on her sister Su Yueru, and she immediately thought of a way out.

"Sister! Save me! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"I shouldn’t have schemed against you, I shouldn’t have put my brother-in-law in danger. It was a moment of confusion; please, for the sake of our sisterhood, spare me!"

"I will repay you in any way I can, even as a lowly beast of burden."

As she spoke, she began to kowtow frantically towards Su Yueru.

"Repay your mother’s debt!"

Wang Jianglong kicked her several times, sending Su Qingyu rolling on the ground like a dog.

Su Yueru, always kind-hearted and aware that blood was thicker than water, didn’t wish to take things too far.

So, she looked up at Ye Fei pleadingly, "Husband, she’s already received the punishment she deserves today. Let’s spare her life, shall we?"

Ye Fei gave no indication of his stance.

Meanwhile, Wang Jianglong’s finger on the trigger was already halfway pressed.

Su Qingyu was terrified, wetting her pants.

Everyone present held their breath.

"Commander Wang, that’s enough."

Just then, Ye Fei finally spoke up.

He walked up to Su Qingyu, looming over her.

"Remember this, your life is given to you by Yueru."

"If you dare to have any improper thoughts again, it won’t be as simple as just dying. Understand?"

Su Qingyu nodded like a pecking chicken.

"I understand! I won’t dare again! Thank you, brother-in-law, for sparing my life!!"

For a long time, almost everyone present seemed unable to snap back to reality.

Finally, it was Xiao Mingyuan who seized the moment to speak: "Mr. Ye, this place has been disrupted and isn’t suitable for celebrating Miss Yueru’s birthday."

"I happen to own a larger hotel nearby, which could accommodate you all. What do you think?"

"Fine."

Ye Fei accepted Xiao Mingyuan’s kindness and gently took Su Yueru’s hand, leading the way.

Throughout it all, Su Yueru felt as if she was in a dream.

...

The banquet was served.

Until nightfall.

Host and guests enjoyed themselves.

As Ye Fei was about to take Su Yueru home after bidding farewell to the various powers,

Su Wanli and Liang Xin, shamefaced, stopped him.

"Son-in-law, we were wrong before, involving Meixue and coming to your house."

"And just now, it was in a moment of desperation."

"Please don’t hold it against us!"

It was no surprise the old couple felt guilty; when the Su family had made things difficult, they hadn’t been of any help.

In fact, they had pushed all the blame onto Ye Fei.

Instead of holding a grudge, Ye Fei had brought them across the dragon’s gate!

The contrast was stark.

Plus, the old couple had realized if Ye Fei really had any connection to the War Department, their family would no longer have to worry about their livelihood!

As for the Su family?

They were nothing in comparison!

"By the way, son-in-law, you have to tell us who you really are!"

"Could it be that you’re some high-ranking officer in the War Department!"

"Our family will strike it rich from now on, won’t we!"

Hearing this, Ye Fei quickly concocted an excuse, hastily explaining, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you’ve misunderstood."

"I’m just a comrade of Commander Wang, nothing more than an acquaintance."

"Everything today was arranged by Commander Wang."

As he finished speaking, the old couple’s faces fell.

"What?!"

"You mean to say, you are just a lesser soldier in the War Department, without any position?!"

Ye Fei nodded, "Yes."

Their eyes, which had been shining just moments before, immediately dimmed.

Especially Liang Xin, her face full of a sense of betrayal.
